TONOPAH CAPITAL
INBODIE RAILROAD

Another desert railroad is project
ed and will be built the coming sum
mer. 1t will extend from Bodie, Mono
county, northeast to some point on
the Nevada and California line of the
minus of the Tonopah & Goldfield
Southern Pacific. probably to Nina.
Nina is also the northwestern ter
minus of the Tonopah & Goldfeld
railroad, and one of the chief objects
of the new road is to give the big
gold towns rail connections with the
Mono lake region.
The railroad is backed by the To-
'nopah mining intersats, James Cane,
a banker at Bodie, and others. 1t
is said the surveys have been made
and many of the ties for the road
are already cut in the forest south
of Mono lake.
These forests are the Ibal objective
point of the promoters, but roa1
already leads from Bodie south TO
them, skirting the shores of Mono
lake for a number of miles. This
road was built years ago to supply
the mines and mills at Bodie with
timber.
A large tract of spruce and pine
timber begins about three miles south
of Mono lake and extends south into
Inyo county. 1t is the most available
timber anywhere near the Nevada
gold fields, and it is to bring this
timber to market that the new road
is to be built.
Bodie is one of the Oldest mining
camps in the west and it is still a
lively town. 1t now has about 1000
population. Near by is the Standard
mine, one of the oldest gold mines
in California. There are also mills
and other interests there.
The town has a great history. Back
in the sixties 1t is said to have had
a population of 5000 at one time and
was the center of a great mining ex.
citement. Unlike many boom camps
it did not pass into history as mem.
DRY, but is still flourishing. 1t has
never had adequate transportation ia
cilities, however. Its only railroad
has been the'lumber road, known a!
the Bodie & Benton, leading Of
across the Mono lake basin to the for
ests a few miles south. The towr
has an elevation of about 5000 feet
and the ground is covered deep will

LEAD SITUATION
IS IMPROVING

The encouraging feature of the
lead situation is that the lots of lead
purchased speculatively when prices
were lower are nearly all worked off
among small buyers, states the Min
ing World. This. coupled with the
fact that operations in the, produc-
ing centers of the Occur d'Alenes
in Idaho, Leadville, the Mississippi;
valley territory, Mexico and British
Columbia during the past few
months have been below normal ow-
ing to the curtailed consumption and
low market prices, suggests that the
situation in lead will improve hence
forth. The rehabilitation of the lead
industry will depend largely on the
position of silver, for much the larger
part of the domestic supply of lead
is obtained in refining both metals.
A popularity about the present
position of the market is that in the
United States country which con-.
tributes one-third of the worlds sup
ply of lead-better prices are being
obtained than are quoted in the Eu-
ropean markets. The American duty
of ~ cents pound acts as check
on imports, so competition here can
not we'll be initiated by Europea1
producers.
Foreign production has fallen on
somewhat during the past three
months, and we are advised that that
the principal sellers are experiments
dull business. There appears, to be
a feeling prevailing that European
consumers win not replenish their
stocks until the market for their man
ufactures improves, and no matter
how much the price is shaded the
lead market does not seem to gain
orders. Maybe with the bettermeat
of trade in the Unised States, there
will Also return to Europe the pros
perity for which lead producers are
waiting SO anxiously. 1t will also be
instructive to watch the effect Of the
expiration of June 20 Of the Can
adam lead bounty law. In 1907 the
United States imported 11,O7S,557
pounds of lead Tin ore and base bull

LONDON, Eng. April 9.-Interest
has been aroused in naval circles by
the report that the British admiralty
is considering the purchase of the two

two such powerful ships, which, in

solfatara, near Pozzouli, Vesuvius is
showing some signs of unrest. The
activity of Solfatara is always sup

of Vesuvius, and in the present in

that the activity of Vesuvius is
caused by the large amount of rain
that has entered the crater.

NEW YORK. Aug. Under the
influence OF n heavy covering move
ment, induced in large part by an
evening up process of the shorts
concerned in the suspension of A. o.
Brown K Co. today's stock market
made pronounced progress in the di-
rection of higher prices. Again the
leaders were the Hartmann issues,
Southern Pacific advancing TO new
high level and Union Pacific selling
at its highest figure in considerably
over n year As has been the case
right elong. no tangible news at
tended the upward movement of these
stocks. but the board room was full
of gossip about an increase in the
Southern Pacific dividend and talk of
better earnings by both roads for
July: announcement was found in
the belief that no more untoward in
eidents are likely to result from the
early week s excitement.
An excellent impression was ere
ated by the ease with which the new
Atchinson $17.v00.O0o bond issue
was marketed and by the generally
better demand for high class bonds.
I
money has driven many wealthy in
and institutions into the
purchase of bonds and assured divi-
dend payers. Trading during the
first hour was almost as large as for
the entire previous day, and such adj
verse factors as the flood damages in
the south and numerous unfavorable
railroad returns seemed TO call for
scant attention For the month of
July S. railroads reported a de-
crease of 1857 per cent in gross.
For the second week of this month
returns from SO roads showed de-
crease in gross OF 1913 per cent. and
for the third week. 10 leading lines
fell of 1906 per cent Among the
individual statements were Northern
