GOLD AND SILVER STRIKE
NEAR S0DAVILLE, NEW.

About five miles west of Sodaville.
known as Bales camp, on the Surprise
group of claims, F D. Bale of Cripple
Creek, says the Goldfield Tribune, is
sacking ore that is being saved from
twenty five-fOOt vein that six feet from
the surface shows values in copper. silver
and gold of SAL per ton, and eight feet
of $3S ore. The strike was recently made,
and in sinking on the vein the ore Is
increasing in value. Some of the ore On
the hanging wall resembles the black
quartz ore that was found in Mizpah, at
Tonopah.
The camp is reached by a good road,
and the Surprise group of claims is about
1000 feet above the camp. There are sew
eral veins showing good pay values at
grass roots. The ore is across the en-
tire shaft, and at present date the owner
has only found the hanging wall.

MARKET CONDITIONS.
Pessimistic View of the Outlook Is
Taken in New York.
pollock Private Wire.)

New York, April 1S.-The stock market
has had so many things to contend with
in the way of new and unfavorable de-
velopments in the general situation the
past week that il has not been surprising
to see trading relapse into extreme dull
ness and a sagging tendency.
In addition to the resumption of gold
exports yesterday, which is practically
only the beginning of a large forward
movement of the precious metal to Lon
don and Paris, we have had the disturb
ing influence of the continued industrial
depression, more very bad statements of
railroad earnings and the piling up of
idle funds with the banks here and other
financial centers throughout the country
to rather emphasize the general lack of
confidence and depression in general bus
mess.
In this connection the statement of the
American Railway association with re-
gard to the railroad freight car situa-
ton in the United States, published yes
in the price of copper and the continued
depression In the dry goods markets in
connection with these features make it
quite plain the recent optimistic state
mentS of officials connected with the
United States Steel corporation and others
on the iron and steel market conditions
are hardly to be considered seriously.
They are, to say the least, either bluff
or misleading, on the actual conditions.
When the readjustment of the price of
pig iron and it's finished product is final
ly forced upon the steel trust. it will I'M
doubtedly be severe, and, perhaps, as
radical as what has occurred in the price
of print cloths and other standard lines
of dry goods during the last several
months. The pTocrastination in this
matter seems to us as only an effort
to delay the inevitable. and when it
comes we fear the effects will be worse
than if it had been allowed to have taken
place in a gradual way, under natural
conditions of the supply and demand stu
alton.
1t is this artificial situation in the iron
and steel industry and the rather gen
eral realization of the country's great
dependence upon the raising of good crops
OF wheat, cotton and corn this season
and also the satisfactory outcome of the
present tangled political conditions which
are holding the resumption of general
business in check and preventing capital
from going into new enterprises and re-
stricting investments In securities to the
present small volume. Until these nm
certalntieS are swept away and conf
country, we cannot hope for a revival Or
business activity on any substantial. last
ing basis

FREE GOLD IN A
LONG STRING
Frank Jardine Tells What Hap
pened on Frying Pan Ground
Sunday Last.

IL leaked out yesterday that one of the
richest strikes SO far made in the Gold
circle camp, Nevada, occurred on Eunday
last Frank Jardine, manager of the Co
iumpia company's property, now in the
city, stated yesterday that he was on the
ground with C. w. Watts. one of the
chief men in the Nevada Gold Circle COM
pany, which owns the Tin Cup and Fry
ing Pan group. and the original paintings
We're made in their presence
"Of course 1 don't know just what the
rock would assay" said Mr.. Jardine dur
ing the afternoon, "but l helped to do
some of the panning and l am not exag-
gerating at all when 1 tell you that
secured a string of the yellow metal two
inches or over long in the pan that tried
out. 1t beat anything l had previously
seen in the camp. This rich quartz was
uncovered as a result of following up the
float found below and 1t demonstrated to
a nicely that the real source of the rich
float had been found. When l left il was
with promise that / would not mention
the strike to any one for a few days, and
have kept my word, though l have felt
like telling about it every minute since
saw the rock. The strike was made on
the Frying Pan No. 2 claim and, while
have heard nothing, more about it since
leaving camp. it is my belief that the
discovery is going to prove one of the
sensations of the district. The first gold
ever found in the camp was on this group
of claims and the latest discovery is, in
my judgment the best of all. / am not
personally interested in the proposition,
but anything that helps to show what is
being found in the Gold Circle district
is of interest to all of u.s."
Mr.. Jardine was in receipt of a letter
yesterday from the superintendent of the
Columbia to the effect that a new lead
of gold-bearing quartz had been opened
in that company's ground. so he is now
getting anxious to return to camp and
take a hand in directing development
again. The Columbia is controlled by an
Ogden crowd, headed by the Browning
brothers, the sporting goods men.

Mines and Mining Stocks
OPERATOR TAKES
ENTIRE BLOCK
Merry Idaho Man Snaps Up
Lower Mammoth Stock and
StumpS Local Talent.

On teiegraphic orders from an Idaho
patron, Dern & Thomas, the brokers' yes
terday morning walked into the Lower
Mammoth company's office and sub
scribed for every unsold share of the
block of 1000 shares of treasury stock
placed on the market Monday. The
amount unsold was $4,000 snares No soon
er had the word got out that all the stock
had been sold than application after APP
plcation was made ia person and by
telephone for some of the stock. The
scramble to get in when it was too late
was amusing and the management of the
company, whether it did or not, should
have taken a good deal of grim satisfac-
ton in being able to turn the applicants
down; The Idaho man had the nerve
that local operators lacked.
A little while ago. when the company
increased its stock from 10000 shares to
250.00 shares, and undertook to sell $50 600
worth of convertible bonds against it, the
proposition was given the cold shoulder
hanging over Ii, and with smelters de-
Ginning to buy the ore that the mine was
able to produce, there was nothing left
10 do but close down. Matters drifted
along until the management. few days
ago, was able to make a good contract
for the output of the mine with the Tin
tic Smelling company to go into effect
early in May. Following that action the
directors took up the matter of raising
money to discharge the Indebtedness and
get work started and IL was finally de-
cided to sell the 1900 shares of new stock
at so cents a share, a price that was
then a few cents above the market. AS
an evidence that they were willing to do
their part the directors subscribed for
10000 shares and on Monday sent a letter
10 the stockholders advising them of the
action taken and telling them they were
at liberty to get in and subscribe for the
remaining 1900 shares, stating at the
time, that the block would be open to
subscription up to the 22d and that 1t
would be case of first come, first
served
In the five days that had elapsed up
to Friday night only 5000 of the 1890
shares had been taken and it looked as
though the stockholders were not going
TO give the proposition much better con-
sideration than they did the convertible
bond offer Yesterday morning, after
they found that the remaining stock had
gone in lump. everybody wanted it.
When the stock was reached on the ex-
change call it began selling at "a cents
and went to 81 cents before the brakes
were applied. and it closed at 81 cents.
At the latter price the property has a
selling value of only s142,500, or a trifle
more than half the market price of Crown
Point; it is less than one-third what
Black Jack is selling for; a trifle over
one-eighth of what Beck Tunnel is bring
ing; less than third of the price of Iron
Blossom and nearly $4,000 less than the
market value of Sioux Consolidated.
That man in Idaho was apparently not
slow i'm discovering that a big block <of
Lower Mammoth at 80 cents was worth
having. 1t was worth over 5000 more
than he paid for it within an hour, at
any rate

the water has been lowered within forty
feet or so of The drain tunnel level, d
large opening will be made through 10

When these mines are once more re-
