Welded SIX MONTHS AGO.
Miss Hazel Stewart and Roland
Thomas Married Last August.

The fact that Miss Hazel Stewart and
Roland Thomas, both of this city, were
married in Salt Lake last August has
just leaked out, to the surprise of their
many friends
Miss Stewart was a clerk in a local
department store and Mr.. Thomas is en-
ployed with an Ogden commission house.
Without telling their friends of their in
tentions they slipped away to Salt Lake
last August where they were married.
They returned to Ogden the next day
and from that time up TO the present
they have both worked at their respec-
tive places and lived apart as single per-
sons.
On Saturday the couple went to Salt
Lake again and from there the girl
wrote a letter to her parents in this city
telling them of her marriage six months
ago. Mrs Thomas is the daughter Of
w. S. Stewart, a Rio Grande Western
engineer, and her husband is the son of
Moron H Thomas of this city.

Black Manganese
From Baltimore

At a point about the 300 level
of the Baltimore claim of the
Nevada-Des Moines company, a
body of black manganese was
encountered this week, and as a
result, the management is free
to assert that the product of the
diamond drill is not far distant;
the extent of the ore body from
which these rich assays of the
diamond drill core, were OBJ
tained, will be determined by
the progress of the work now
under way. The next two hun
dred feet will be work of the
most importance. Local stock is
firmly held, awaiting the result
of the development. Assays
from the manganese ledge run
forty-six ounces in silver.

Good Springs
Coming Up

Sam Yount, one Of the Oldest
settlers in the Good Springs dis
trict in southern Lincoln, was
here for several days the past
week, on probate matters of the
estate of the late John McClan-
nahan; he was accompanied by
Mr.. McClannahan, a relative of
John.
After the court business had
been attended to, Sam told us of
the very bright future in store
for the Good Springs section and
1t now seems but a matter of a
very short time till the immense
lead and zinc mine of that dis
trlct will be shipping the pro-
duct in large quantities to the
smelters. Capital from Joplin.
Missouri, have bonded a number
OF the properties, and it is their
to erect a smelter for the reduc-
ton of the zinc ores which pre-
dominate there.

Phoebe Pacific
Finds Ore Body

General Manager Baumgarth
of the Pioche Pacific, was more
than jubilant yesterday, and he
rushed into the RECORD Office
to tell why he wore that happy
smile. He said that at a point
two hundred feet in the shaft of
the Pieche Pacific, an ore body
had been discovered, and sam
pies Of the mineral exhibited,
looked good to most anyone.
This property was incorpor-
ated and financed by some of the
most prominent people of Salt
Lake City, and from the very
beginning of the work, indica-
tions were that an ore body
would be opened up in q very
short time. Manager Baumgarth
is handling the affairs of this
company in a most satisfactory
manner.

PUBLIC MORALS.

We, the committee appointed
to look into the public morals OF
Lincoln county, Beg to submit to
the following report:
We find that the saloons
throughout the county are being
conducted in more satisfactory
manner than for a number OF
years past. and that complaints
regarding immoral houses are
very few.
We recommend that the laws
regarding the location of saloons
and immoral houses be more rig
idly enforced, and also call es-
pecial attention to the enforcing
Of the law prohibiting minors
from entering saloons, gambling
houses and houses of ill-fame.

Florence Tunnel
Showing Good

From a very reliable authority
we gain the information that
the Florence leasers in Highland
district have encountered in
their work, a soft formation of
iron and manganese which, with
the character of the adjoining
territory, will produce ore bodies
before very long.
This property is the one that
promises to develop not only the
ground adjacent, but show
those with properties in that VII
clnity, that all it means is some
development work to prove the
value of the ground.

COUNTY BOOKS.

We, the committee appointed

In general we find that the
said offices are well systematized
and conducted, but in this re-
spect your committee noted only
that accounts and records were
posted and balanced to date. AS
for auditing the books, this COM

that the same shall be done at
least once a year by the regu-
larly appointed state auditor.
The matter of providing fire.

REPORT OF INDECENT COMMITTEE
The committee on indigents
wish to report:
We, the committee appointed
to examing into the condition of
the INDECENT fund, beg to submit
the following report:
We find that during the past
three months of the old system
the total expense was about the
same as during the first three
months under the new system,
but that this fund can be handled
more satisfactorily and economi-
cally under the new, and .have
no changes to recommend.
That the barn adjoining the
Duckworth hospital on, the rear
is in a condition detrimental to
the health and comfort of the in
mates, and recommend that the
owners cease using it as barn
altogether or remove it from
the immediate neighborhood.
And right along this line we wish
to note the unsanitary condition
of barns, and especially water
closets in the rear of the store
buildings along main street in
Phoebe, Nevada. Some action
should be taken on these at
o,Nce.
W,s4 further recommend that
commits, ,Sioners look into the mat
ter Of establishing a poor house
either in Connection with the
county hospital or otherwise, as
they see fit, as vt the present
time the hospital Is caring for
county poor, who are uot IN need

Smith Divorce
Case Advanced

Thursday evening the Smith

a financial manner, came before
Judge Brown, and the final re-
suit Of it being q reduction of
the expense money cut from
81, 900 to $500, and the monthly
alimony reduced from $50 per
month to $25.
This will undoubtedly leave
the case in such a shape that the
divorce part may come to an
issue at the next cuurt sitting and

At the local freight depot here

is such that it is very desirable

trouble to get a market for it.

New York Market News

The possibility of Bryan's cleo
ton. pronounced in this column
a week ago, has been voiced dur
ing the past week by no less i'm
portant personages than James
J. Hill and E. H. Hartman, both
OF whom seem to regard western
sentiment in favor of the demo-
cratic candidate as strong. The
publicly stated opinions of these
two men gave the stock market a
decided chill, and to these public
statements can be ascribed the
moderate reaction which has
taken place in stocks within the
week.
The New York stock exchange
list books limp and yielding in
spite of the fact that both Hill
and Hartman have stated it as
their belief that the result of
the election will not materially
affect business. So far as the
railroad business is concerned.
there is constant improvement.
as IS shown by the fact that a
large percentage of cars which
were idle last spring are now
employed in profit yielding traffic.
1t is said that the Union Pacific
is using all of it's equipment and
is ready to order more.
For several days the "coalers"
acted as buffer for the whole
market against bear attacks their
strength being due to a decision
OF one of the United States
courts, upholding the right of
the coal carrying roads to hola
and operate the coal mines which
they now own, and, for the pres
ent, at least, to acquire other
coal properties. Eventually,
however, the pressure became so
great that not even the strength
OF the coal road stocks could
stem the tendency toward de-
cline.
How far tie decline viii so.
and how long it will continue, is
uncertain. The reaction has ap-
parently not yet run its course.
There are several bits of bull
news that have been withheld,
however, which will have a ten
dency to greatly strengthen the
market within the course of the
next two or three weeks. It can
be stated, unequivocally, that
the earnings of the Steel Corpo-
ration for the present quarter
will surprise everybody. Fifty
for steel common will be an ac-
complished fact before election
day, and in the event of Taft's
election, the stock should go a
number of points higher than
fifty before it settles. Such a
would have been re-
garded as a wild one three
months ago. In another three
months it will be looked upon as
The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1906-1908, 1908-09-26

a conservative statement of the
probabilities.
Coppers on the curb and in the
market have shown weakness,
due in part to the weakness OF
the metal and in part to the fact
that users still refuse to take the
advice of the experts, and load
up with stocks of the metal
around the present market price.
Within another twelve months
tbs prices at which such stand
ard copper stocks as Greene Ca
nanea, British Columbia, Miami
and Nevada Con. are now selling
will look small.
Through the maze of manipula-
ton, thesstudent of market con-
ditions can see clearly that the
insiders in Goldfeld Con. are
maneuvering for position. 1t
becomes with each passing day
more evident that Goldfeld Con.
is merely awaiting a word from
its masters to bound up to high
er prices. Goldfield authorities
estimate that there are over
eighty million dollars gross in
sight in the Mohawk above the
60O-foot level; this means over
fifty million dollars net. The
manager. of the Goldfeld Con.
has been quoted as having pub
licly admitted thirty million dol
lars net. In the light of these
statements it would not be sur
prising to see Goldfeld Con.
within a year sell close to 500 a
share; that it will sell above $40
is an exceedingly conservative
prediction. Florence seems
slated for higher prices. If a
tirst-cIass manager with a com.
petent force of mining and met
allurgical assistants were in
charge, the property could be
made to show earnings that
would entitle it to sell very much
higher.
Public announcement of Wing.
fields control of Fraction shoulC
make for shigher prices in tha
stock. Wingfeld would not buy
control oflthis mine il, he did moi
expect tomake some money out
of it.
The announcement that the
Goldfield Con. will let no more
leases on its property makes the
stocks of leasing companies on
Consolidated ground much more
valuable. We recommend the
purchase of such good leasing
stocks as Consolidated Red TOP
and Consolidated Jumbo. The
recent strike made by the former
is one of the best that has been
made in Goldfield in two years.
The Consolidated Jumbo is more
than likely to duplicate the sue
cess of the Red Top Lease.
