Navy Is Never Done.

From the Boston Transcript. !.
navy like q railroad. Is never done.
There never comes the grateful moment
when the work can be said to be finished
and the sole task left to be discharged is
that of operation. AS the roadbed. track
equipment Of a railroad must be con-
stantly maintained and improved. so il
there is to be any navy at all equipment
must be constantly improved and brought
UP to date, even under the policy of re-
placement and repair.

stocks drop out of sight as Cripple
Greek stocks did and they are greatly
surprised that the history made by
Colorado's great camp is not being
repeated in Nevada. Instead of drop
ping out Of sight after the first great
investing impulse has exhausted itself
Nevada stocks are rapidly rising in
value. They have been lowered by
combination of circumstances not like
ly to be repetaed, but as soon as the
money stringency disappears and there
seems a fair prospect of settling the
labor troubles that closed the mines
100 days out OF the 365 of 1907, they
rebound. Il will not do to say that
because the public got tired of Crippl,
Creek stocks it will get tired of Ne
yada stocks. because the volume of Or
derS received from the East to buy
Neyadas is abundant proof that the
people OF thu country are not tired of
Nevada at all. They are weary of in

and they are sending their money out
for more mining stocks The fight is
On in the East to put a stop to this.
How far it may be successful it is i'm
possible to say. But if it should be
successful it Will be fraud on the

bright and there is every prospect
that the next year Will be wonderfuIly

Much difference of opinion has been
found to exist among observers of the
movements OF the Nevada mining
share market as to whether the re-
cent upward tendency of prices indi-
cate a permanent rise in the price of
stocks. The ultra bearish element
holds that the sharp advance Of val
ues is but the result of manipuation
and OF a pre-cOncerted boom, while
the bulls believe that the movement
for which everybody has waited SO
long has arrived and that the stocks
are going to find their proper level.
However this may be and whatever
the future may have in store for Ne
vada stocks. it is evident that mining
men 10 the east of the Nevada Utah
line have been taken aback by the re
cent turn in the tide of affairs and It
may also be said the tide of Eastern
money. Whenever the mining papers
