DAWN OF GOOD TIMES.

The return OF good times vas signaled yesterday in a more pro-
nounced manner than at any tine aimee the slump set in last fall. The
New York stock market which Il the key of the financial situation,
showed a strength and frmness which it has not shown before during
the entire time of the financial difficulty. Stocks were in demand and
the volume OF business a greater than 1t has been in many a day.
Money was easier, and the money tenders lowered their rate of interest
were eager to lend out their gold. Borrowers were shy, not that
they did not want the money. but that they saw in the signs of the times
the disruption of the financial clouds and they held back and are holding
back for lower rates Of interest
the dispatches tell us that they were bold and aggressive. These mu

All over the country men have been returning to work in conse-

OF all times to buy Nevada stocks One cannot make a mistake on this
score, for the evidences are many that this will be the greatest of
all the years in the history of the prosperity of Nevada.

GOOD REPORTS COME
FROM BULLFROG DISTRICT

Deputy Sherifs Casey from Rhyo-
lite and Thomas B. Devine of Beatty
came up yesterday from the south.
and both have the best of reports
from the Bullfrog district.
The mines neve looked better"
said Mr.. Casey. "and the people never
felt more confident that there is go
ing to be a great improvement in the
district. To be sure, the place is
quiet for the lack of money at pres.
ent. but the work of development and
improvement has been going right
along, just the same. There will be
lots doing down there when the
money market eases up, and the Sho-
shone, Gold Bar, Homestake and 9TH
er mines, the Tramps Consolidated,
National Bank and the surrounding
properties are all looking well.
THE mill of the Montgomery Sho-
shone has proven a great success and
the mill Of the Gold Bar has been
about completed, and the mill of the
Homestake is under way, while that
of the Mayhower has been shipped.
Then there is the Keane Wonder mill,
twenty miles from US. working away
reducing the ore at a great rate. On
all sides there is activity, and nearly
all the mines are working. The mills
are the plants that tell the story, and
these are going up as fast as they
can be furnished and brought in. We
have no fear for the future as soon
as the money market gets active once
more"
There is considerable work being
done in the vicinity of Beatty" said
Mr.. Devine. Among the properties
which are being worked are the Dia-
mond Queen. Gold Gulch, Taylor
Bullfrog, the Oshkosh and the Trans
vaal. Then of course there is the
Mayhower, and the Montgomery Sho-
shone between us and Rhyolite. There
have been a number of men come into
the district since the first of the year
and everything is looking much bet
ter from all view points"

BETTER Times
BETTER MARKET
THOMAS PIKE PREDICTS THAT
SAN FRANCISCO WILL BE
IN LINE.

Thomas Pike, Tonopah's own Tom
Pike, who was here for years with
the Kenneth Donnellan Company, ar
rived here yesterday from Goldfield,
whittier he went some days ago from
San Francisco. He brings cheering
news from both places.
"Goldfeld is very quiet, just now
said Mr.. Pike, "and with good e a
son. There will not be any disturb
ance over there until after the extra
session has adjourned. There were
one hundred miners brought in from
the outside last night, and | under
stand that there are more to come.
There is no doubt that the legislation
will be favorable to securing peace in
Goldfield, and banking Upon what
seems to be positive assurance in this
regard, the market has become buoy
ant, and prices this morning are all
much improved.
In San Francisco things are much
better than they have been, and they
are going to improve from now on.
They are withdrawing the clearing
house certificates as rapidly as pos
sible. but are doing so very quietly,
and you can now get all the money
that you want from the banks. That
is, your " money, for the banks
have not yet returned to the point Of
making loans only on the very high
est kind of security. But the people
are watching the situation here very
closely, and believe me they will be
ready to invest in properties and
speculate in stocks as soon as things
clear up. The advance in the market
today shows how sensitive is the sit
uation in San Francisco"

MAZUMA HILLS MAKES
SHIPMENT OF RICH ORE

The fourth shipment of ore from
the famous Mazuma Hills at Seven
Troughs is being hauled to Lovelock
from the mine by the Frey freight
ing teams and stored in the Pit
warehouse, awaiting the completion
of a carload. The last loads. CON
tanning 17S sacks, arrived Tuesday
morning, making 400 sacks now in
the warehouse. Another load will
be brought in today, when the con-
Segment will be forwarded for treat
ment to the smelters at Salt Lake
City.
AS Don as the present carload is
completed the teams will commence
the hauling Of the fifth carload, and
regular shipments in the future will
be continued.
The ore being brought to Lovelock
is the accumulation from the devel-
opment of the property during the
past two months, no stopping of any
note having been done to produce the
tonnage now being marketed.
The value of the ore being e n out
could not be ascertained, but the
Tribune representative was in
formed by an official high in the
councils of the company that the
present shipment would eclipse any
yet forwarded from the property.
The Reagan lease, situated on a
portion of the Mamma Hills ground
has also joined the ranks of high
grade" shippers. A carload Of ore
from the lease, some of it of ths
picture variety, will be brought tC
Lovelock next week and sen to the
smelter. Preparations for moving
the ore are well under way, and the
lease has entered the new year

shipments of the Seven Trouehs dis.

IS ON TO
CAMP OF RAWHIDE
PEOPLE ARE FLOCKING TO NEW
AND BOOMING DIS
TRICT.

Rawhide in Tonopah, Rawhide in
Goldteld, Rawhide in Reno; 1t is the
cry everywhere. The name and fame
OF the camp is spreading and it is
getting better in reports and sound
all the time. Everybody seems to be
getting the fever, for everybody who
can get away is gol.s there, Some
are going to look at the camp. some
to secure properties or leases; some
to invest in business.
There was a party of four from
Goldiield which passed through here
yesterday on the way to the camp
of promise. In the party were VIM.
Erb, A. d. Nash, Walter Whittemore
and Harold Baxter, engineer for LOT
tus and Davis. Nash knows the road
and the country; the others are going
to see what is to be seen. They are
getting ready here to go out in teams,
going out to stay, and then again
there are others going out Just for a
visit.
This morning, Key Pittman, F. a.
Stevens and j. S. Daveler, manager
of the Bonanza, are going to leave
for the boom camp. Mr.. Pittman has
been impressed by the reports which
have reached here; he is going to es-
tablish a branch law Office with Mr..
Stevens in charge.
Chauncey Booth is another who has
yielded to the lure of gold, and he.
too, will leave this morning for the
camp of destiny.

Big Deal in
Rdwhide Claims
ToNoPAH PEOPLE PURCHASE
TIGER AND ROYAL IN
BOOM CAM.

The first big deal in Rawhide prop
critics was consummaied Monday
and Tonopah people secured contro,
OF the biggest thing in the new boom
camp. The latter comprises the
Tiger and the Royal claims. owned
by George X. Allen, p. M. Shelby ana
J.. Carlton Bray. 1t was on the Rova,
claim that the biggest strike vet
made in the camp was encountered
some weeks ago, and the system of
veins thus proved up for Rawhide.
The identity OF the Tonopah par-
ties is for the present a secret. but
there was a large cash consideration
paid for the control and the propertv
Is TO be incorporated. The deal was
made by A. M. Gillespie of this citv
well known as a promoter Of a num.
Der of deals, and who spent three
weeks in the Regent district about 4,
fortnight ago. He returned from
erty.
Men from Fairview," said Mr.
Gillespie, have pronounced the
property of the Tiger and ROYAL bat-
ter at their stage of development
than the Nevada Hills was at a SINH
lar stage. These were men who were
in Fairview in the early DAYS of the
camp and they knew what they were
talking about. There are seventeen
sets of leases being worked on the
property, many of which are in good
ore, and others showing splendid
prospects.
The real big showing Of Rawhide
was recently made on the Stinson and
Granger lease of the Royal claim.
and that is the strike that all Raw
hide is talking about. At present.
they are twenty feet down on the ore
shoot, which shows three and a half
feet of solid ore. which is breaking
better than 5000 a ton. This ore
shoot has been opened up for a dis
lance of three hundred and fifty feet
on the surface. and from it are being
taken assays running from $50 70
$500 a ton.
Three leases are being worked at
a distance of 27O0 feet from this
lease, and they are all in good shin
ping ore. Before the discovery of
Stinson and Granger. these were the
top notch leases Of the camp. The
camp is looking especially fine. and
a particularly good showing is that
of the Kerns' lease on Balloon noun
tain. Here they are sacking ore that
goes S110 a ton, and the Miller lease
on Roseberry hill shows an immense
high grade milling proposition. There
are seven or eight feet here which
will go $50. Conditions are getting
better in the camp, for there is more
money going in. When things get
better in the East, Rawhide will get
all that is coming to her. The dis
covery on the Royal claim, showing
as it does a well defined vein sys-
TEN. has done more than anything
else in instilling confidence in Raw
hide

WONDER PROPERTY
RIGHTS SETTLED
SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS DE.
CUSTOM OF THE LOWER
TRIBUNAL.

A decision in a suit involving the
ownership of some of the richest
properties in the Wonder mining dis
trict and the Wonder townsite, was
handed down Saturday by the SUI
preme Court. The amount of prop
erty involved in the suit is estimated
to be worth at least 100000. The
Supreme Court afirms the decision
OF the lower court in every particular
except one, Assemblyman n. r. Fitz-
patrick one of the defendants, win
ming out in the case.
The action is the result of a grub
stake agreement entered into by
Thomas j. Costello, a Tonopah man.
and Miss Leona X. NeWhall, a lady
residing at Tonopah and employed in
the county Offices, and Murray Scott,
a prospector. The two first named
staked Scott, it appears, to prospect
in the Goldyke country and later
throughout that and adjoining dis
tricts. That they first staked him n
1905 and that in May, 1906, he went
to Fairview. The evidence showed
that on May 18th he received $50
from Costello and Miss Newhall.
Four days later Scott formed a part
nership with two men named VIM.
Mays and L. A. Savage. Two days
later, on the 25th Of May, 1906, the
trio located Wonder camp. Sub
sequently n. r. Fitzpatrick purchased
part interest in the trio's townsite,
getting SCOTS one-third.
Suit was brought by Costello and
Miss Newhall against Scott. Mays,
Fitzpatrick and Savage to regain the
townsite and also for one-half inter-
est in the mines, alleging the co.
partnership between themselves and
Scott and also that the other three
defendants knew of this relation and
conspired to secure the property. IN
the lower court the case was heard by
Judge Curler assisted by a jury. The
jury brought in a verdict as to GER
tain facts which the court set aside
and rendered a verdict in favor Of
the plaintiffs Costello and Newhall
instead OF the defendants as in ac-
cord with the findings of the jury.
The defendants then appealed to the
Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court held that the
case being regarded as an equitable
n the court had a right to set aside
such findings when the jury "as-
sisted him and then affirmed the
decision of the lower court with the
exception of Fitzpatrick. The court
as to that defendant, ordered a new
trial, holding that Fitzpatrick did
not know of any alleged partnership
relations between Scott and the plain
titfs and that he acquired title to
the townsite legally. Fitzpatrick is
also awarded his costs. The case
was one of the hardest fought in the
court for a long time.

DISCOVERS NEW
PLACER GROUND

The discovery of placer ground in
the vicinity of Silver Point is the lat
est new of Importance which has to
do with this district.
On the acreage of the Royal Ha-
waiian Extension Mining Company,
Vice President James NJ. Cordray has
found surface dirt, which in various
places went 1920, $3.50 and $3.50
to the yard.
This ground is about three miles to
the south and west of Round Noun
tain and the possibilities which the
discovery opens up is impossible OF
estimation.
That 1t will renew the activity in
the search for placer ground it is
needless to say. How much more
auriferous ground there is in the i'm
mediate neighborhood of Round
Mountain only prospecting and the
future can determine.
Steady and consistent work has
been in progress in the Silver Point
vicinity and it has had its ample
reward.
Six separate and distinct lodges
have been uncovered on the group of
four claims owned by the Gold Hill
Consolidated Mining Company. Two
assay returns from the office of VIM.
Berg, which were seen by the Nugget
representative, gave the following re-
suits:
Gold $11.20, silver 610 ounces,
total ~s419.90; gold $50, silver 200
ounces, total $135.S0.
There are a number of shafts and
tunnels which were abandoned many
years ago, and these Mr., Cordray,
who is president of the company, has
had nlen at work on opening up with
the result previously mentioned.
In the breast of one tunnel, at
about thirty feet. a four-foot ledge
was broken into. while a three-foot
ledge was cut in the bottom Of a
thlrty-fve-foot shaft. 1t is from these
two places that the assays given above
were obtained.
Several rich seams and stringers
run through these ore bodies, which
assayed into the three figures, The
other ore bodies encountered are low
grade milling propositions, which ay-
erage from seven to ten dollars
throughout as far as has been deter
| mined.
The Gold Hill Consolidated Min
ing Company is rich in It's own right,
being owned by an association of San
Francisco capitalists with the follow
ing officers: President, James NJ.
Cordray; vice-president, Cleve PicAr
| rell; secretary, Chas, Pickrell. and
treasurer, James NJ. Cordray.
The main Office is in San Francisco
and Mr.. Cordray intends making .
trip to that city in the near future,
when he will bring up matters in
connection with ther construction OF
a mill which Is now being contem-
plated. Applications are in for the
use of the waters of both Jet creek
in the Toyabe range and Mariposa
creek in the Toquima range. the for
mer necessitatins the piping of the
water the entire distance across Big
Smokey valley. 1t is Mr.. Cordray's
intention to apply the water for the
generation of electric power which
win be used to work the mill.
No definite plans are as yet formu-
lated, but Mr.. Cordray is authority
for the statement that there is little
doubt that the mill will be put up
sometime during the course of the
next twelve months.
X further Developments reveal the
fact that there is any great quantity
