Crescent Pioneer
Visits Phoebe

C. H. Scheere, one of the old
est settlers in the Crescent dis
trict in Lincoln county, was here
for several days this week at
tending to some civil matters in
the district court.
Regarding the outlook Of the
Crescent district in a mining
way, Scheere says that all the
properties upon which any
amount Of development has been
done, have made a showing that
at some date in the near future
win astonish the mining frater-
nifty. He has many interests in
the district, but has no mining
properties that he wishes to dis
pose of at the present time.
Crescent is an old district and
with the capital now interested
there, will make it one Of the
leaders in the way of ore pro-
ducing. Gold values predominate.

Gaming License
For the City

A decision of far-reaching i'm
portance was handed down re-
Gently by Attorney General Stod-
dard in reply to a request of
District Attorney Charles L.
Horsey Of Lincoln county, says
the Carson News. The decision
is to the effect that the law of
1907 which provides that in case
there is an incorporated town or
city in any county. that all the
revenue derived from the gam
ing licenses in such corporation
shall go to the corporation in
stead Of being divided between
the county and state as hereto
fore. -.
This cuts out the county and
the state, 1t also holds that the
state has a right to levy a license
upon such games, and that later
the city, if it sees fit, can levy an
additional license, and that both
such licenses shall rebound to the
city.
The question arose in Search
light. which was recently incor-
porated. and where some dispute
arose over the collection of and
the levying of gaming licenses.
the attorney general said:
In 1879 the legislature in IL
censing games and gaming hous-
es enacted that no municipal
corporation shall have the power
to prohibit, suppress or regulate
any game or gaming house Ii

Out For Sheriff

While it may seem somewhat
early for county candidates in
Lincoln county to announce their
aspirations. John Howe. now
deputy sheriff Of Searchlight.

for the nomination to the Office
Of sheriff of Lincoln county. and
win appear before the demo-
cratic county convention later

John Howe is well known in

quaintaince in the northern end
is very extensive. Who could
the democrats select that would
make q stronger fight or better
official than John Howe? He is
the popular man in his own

The New York
Market Report

Inc market reaction predicted
q week ago is in. progress. Th,
professionals are selling witt
confidence, and the STANDARD
Oil party is said to be slufinp
stocks. The market will, there
fore, doubtless continue to east
of for several days.
The cut in the New York Cen.
tral dividend is generally ap.
proved. Other dividend reduc-
tons are in order and will prob
ably be made.
The market. though actually
weaker, is now technically
stronger. It should not be for.
gotten that every moderate re-
action bottoms the market sound
ly and puts stocks in line for q
further advance. The situation
contains no comfort for bears.
The powers in Wall street are
bulls; perhaps not for quick re-
suits. but for sure results. They
are bulls on prosperity. They
see that when business has come
down grade into the valley of
depression and panic it cannot
get out Of that valley without
ascending. and they know that
the re-ascent to the hilltops is as
certain as the recurrence of the
tides.
The producers of base metals
are all believers that bu9;ness is
permanently on the up grade.
The copper metal producers have
taken courage because late pur-
chases have nearly exhausted
stores and because the new sup
ply from the reopened Amalga-
mated mines will not be avail
able until May. Some people
even go so far as to argue that
there may be a temporary short
age-but this view. of course, is
absurd.
The lead mines of Tintic, Utah,
win report with lead at &c per
pound, to which the market has
nearly risen.
Improvement in the curb mar
ket continues.
Coppers, led by Consolidated
and Cumberland-Ely, are much
stronger. The rise in Nevada
Consolidated convertible IS from
par to lbs on the day following
the closing of the books for sub
scriptions was sensational, but
hot unexpected.
Consolidated Arizona more
than doubled in market value on
the well authenticated report
that the financial difficulties of
the company are to be adjusted
without assessing the stock.
Montgomery Shoshone, q
Schwab stock. has come to life
again. 1t sold above $50 a little
over a year ago. Last fall it de-
clined to 81. 1t is again in de.
mand on Pittsburg buying.
The Goldfeld list was active
under the leadership of Florence,
which has just declared its sec.
ond dividend. Daissy, whose
strike of high grade ore in guam.
tity. has given encouragement tc
its New York hackers, and Great
Bend on rumors of the passing
Of control.
1t is believed here that Gold,
field Consolidated will be kept
down as close to SIS as possible
until the new interests and theil
friends have acquired as much
stock as possible. The stock will
not be put up for the benefit Of
western holders. When it is put
up it win be advanced for the
benefit of the interests who nov
have the market in charge.
There is extreme bullishnesl
in New York on Goldfield Con
solidated and some other Gold
field issues. and good buying il
in evidence in the best quarters
