UPWARD MOVEMENT AGAIN.
Rise Not Excessive or Violent, But
Tone Strong Throughout the Day.

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-Operations
for the rise were resumed in the
stock market today, but on somewhat
limited scale and in restricted field.
Speculative attention reverted again
to the group of high priced. dividend
paying railroad stocks which has
been the effective leader of the mar
ket during most of the summer.
There was at the same time re-
newal of various rumors of intended
projects involving these properties in
one way or another. The intentions
OF Mr.. Hartman and of Mr.. Hill to-
ward the railroad system with which
their names are associated from a
field for wide reaching conjecture
whenever this subject comes up for
discussion. Today's rumors did not
differ materially from those that have
done duty before in connection with
rising prices of the stocks to be rele-
gated to the background, or to meet
with denial when the price move
ment comes to a stop

TO OPEN OLD ROAD.

Ire Southern Pacific is preparing
to resume traffic over the old narrow
gauge railroad between Nina and
Candelaria which has been afahdoii-
ed for a period of about five years.
Superintendent Manson, Chief Engi-
neer Fitzgerald and Assistant Super-
intendent Rowlands are now at Nina
looking after the reopening of the
line. The road was constructed dur
ing tire boom days Of Candelaria but
when that camp became qniet and
it's mines apparently worked out, the
road was abandoned and for the past
five years no trains have passed over
the line. Several properties at Can
delaria and in the vicinity have now
opened and the companies promise
sufficient tonnage to operate trains SO
the railroad company win according

Is planned to. have the line running
about the 10th of this month.

BIG SALE MADE.
Old Mine Near Round Mountain Sells
to Eastern Capitalists Who
Will Erect Big Plant.

One of the biggest mining deals
which has been made in southern Ne
vada for some time was consummat-
ed in this city Friday afternoon
when w. III. McBeth, Charles Bren-
nenman and j. Flick, all of New
York, purchased the Charles kon-
rahat mine the old Jefferson mine
near Round Mountain, for the sum
of $350,00O, says the Tonopah Bon
ANA.
The deal has been closed and this
morning Messrs. Flick and Bremen
man leave for San Francisco to close
the final contract for a $75, 900 mill
ing plant, which will be erected. This
plant is already picked out in fact,
and the order to ship has been await
ing the closing of the purchase of the
mine. The plant will be in operation
by the first of February, and will
have a capacity of 200 tons per day.
The jefferson mine is one of the
old mines of the Round Mountain dis
trict-six miles from that place
and for the past number of years II
has been worked on rather crude
basis, only the high grade ore. of
which there is considerable, being
shipped out. The mining OF the
high grade, however, has exposed
vast quantities of low grade free mill
ing ore, and there is enough OF this
blocked out to operate on for a num-
her of years, ii is stated. Expert
opinion on the mine is that 1t Will be
one of the best low grade PROPOSE
tions in the state, with lots of high
grade which will run the milling
value of the ore up very materially
on an average The ore is gold and
silver. running about three fourths
of the total value in the yellow min
eral.
Messrs. McBeth, Brennenman and
Flick will be with the property for
some time, Mr.. McBeth probably un-
til the new mill is in operation. The
deal is one of the best which has
been made In long time, and will be
of inestimable value to the Round
Mountain district, and to the whole OF
southern Nevada, showing the world,
as 1t does, that Nevada has the mines,
and that eastern capital is willing to
back them, In spite of the recent
financial depression, and the unset
tied feeling always attendant upon
election times.

HOUSES AT SHELTER.

Survey for the construction of 40
new dwelling houses at Smelter was
started yesterday. The construction
of these buildings has been necessi-
tated by the recent rapid increase OF
employees at the big works and the
coming on of cold weather. The
number will in no wise fill the need
that exists for accommodations, 1t
being expected that at least 100 fam
lilies will move in to East Ely and
Ely as soon as houses are ready for
them. Those built at East Ely are
being occupied as rapidly as complet-
ed by Smelter people.

|ELY CLAIMS BEING
WELL TAKEN CARE Of
OWNERS GETTING THEIR ANNU-
Al. ASSESSMENT WORK DONE
IN GOOD SEASON.. b. SNIP
son TALKS ABOUT CAMP.

Il have thought all along that
there would be good many mining
claims in the Ely district which
would be allowed to lapse during the
present year, owing 10 lack of the
lawful amount of development work
on the same, but let me tell you that
1t will be mighty lucky fellow who
can go over to the copper camp and
pick out with fine toothed comb a
property or a piece of a property
worth restaking,' said j. B. Simp-
son, the Ely pioneer, Tuesday in an
interview with Salt Lake Tribune
reporter
Il have been in Ely for two
months or more doing some assess
ment work on some unpatented
claims / own, and | find that my pro-
gram, not example exactly, has been
followed by scores. So there will be
very little If any claim jumping this
years end at Ely. The camp is pros
porous. of course. for big payrolls
mean big business. But Ely has not
returned yet to the good old boom
days, and l doubt If it ever will In
the memory of any of us who expert
enced the times when the camp was
just jumping into view. The camp
should be happy, for 1t is entering
into the genuine business era now.
When the big boom was on there
we're not more than 400 men on the
pay rolls of the camp. while today
two big companies must have at least
2, 900 men on their rolls.
when the whistle blows at the
Steptoe smelling plant it looks like
an army of men are turned In or out.
was told that 1900 men are at
work in the mill and smelter, and
it looks like 1t. l do not know for
certain that the capacity of the
smelter is greater than 1t was at my
last visit, btu from the fact that the
crews for bringing down the ore have
been increased l should judge that
the plant is ready to treat a better
tonnage than ever before.
II was told at the camp that the
Gironx Consolidated Co. has begun
active concentrating operations at its
new mill. The company is adding to
its force right along. and it looks
like the Giroux has come in out OF
the woods at last. 1t is a matter OF
much speculation in Ely as to who
really is back of the GirouX. No one
believes 1t is the Senator Clark in
terests. and suspicion points with
much force to Boston and to points
pretty we'll taken up by the interests
behind some of the other big fellows
of Ely The GirouX undoubtedly is
one of the great mines of Ely, and
there is no reason to doubt that the
Boston interests. who twice offered
good price for Giroux control,
would he willing to come through
even now with a pretty good looking
proposition. But that, as | said. is
mere conjecture. I went and watch
ed the big steamshovels at work on
the Nevada Consolidated, and the
sight is enough to make fellow deny
that he ever, with puny pick or drill,
tried to look into some of the hidden
depths of that mineral kingdom.
