The wires were down yesterday af-
ternoon and the market quotations
did not come through. However, la
ter advices from the east stated that
the stocks had held their own, with
a little advance all along the list.
Tone was good at the close and fur
Their advance today and tomorrow is,
looked for. Cumberland Ely and
Nevada Consolidated both gained in
the selling yesterday.
These two stocks are looking par
ticularly good to the people in the
east, where the brokers continue ad-
vice to take them on, believing that.
within the month their gains will
amount to material figures. In this
opinion 1t does not seem possible,
locally, that there can be mistake.
Both of the properties are ready for
business and are entitled to go much
higher than they stand. If the mar
ket continues the rising affair that
it now gives every promise of prov
ing, for several weeks at least, both
Cumberland Ely and Nevada Consol-
idated will rest on much higher
level at the time of coming of the
next recession in market activities
and prices. Those getting in now
on the issues are making no mis-
take.
Trading locally is quiet. About all
the available money of investors is
tied up in Cumberland Ely and Ne
vada Consolidated, which have been
taken on quietly but steadily and are
still being picked up by all who can
muster the change. Among the
smaller issues there is practically
nothing doing All the interest CEN
tiers higher up.
Giroux is getting in shape for act
i've resumption of development in its
principal workings in the Alpha
shaft and is also shaping up for bust
ness at its other shafts. This to-
gether with report of success attend
ing flotation of its bond issue has
given encouragement in the last few
days to its stock, which shows signs
of coming out from its extended pc
Rod of lethargy. The Alpha shaft is
now cleared to within near the 100
level and it begins to look pretty
certain that Manager Walters is 60
ing to put big feather in his cap
through retaining this shaft for
actual service in the face of advance
predictions of failure from some of
the best mining engineers and miners
in the country, for nobody believed
at the beginning of the year that
this shaft could again be made safe
and useful through the exercise of
human ingenuity. Manager Walters
appears, however, to have accom-
plished the seemingly impossible. A
few more weeks will tell the story,
and If he has won the stockholders
of Giroux to certainty have hand
shake coming among themselves.

MARKET SUCCESSFULLY

MISREPRESENTATION Pacific Be-
comes Feature of Trading.

NEW YORK, April 30.-Opera-
lions for higher prices of stocks had
to contend today with larger Offer
ings for sale than have been met
with hitherto in the various stages
of the upward movement. This OBJ
stacle had its effect in unsettling the
market at various periods during the
day and told on the speculative tenn
per. On the other hand, efforts to
advance prices were furthered by the
urgent demand from the remnant of
the outstanding short interest, which
was an effective factor in some of
the sharpest advances in individual
stocks which we're wild.
The suspension of another stock
exchange firm today following the
suicide yesterday of the Junior men,
her was followed by a large volume
of wild transactions in the course of
buying In stocks for the firms ac-
count. These developments have had
the effect of arousing timidity among
lenders of stocks to procure shares
for holding open their commitments

on the short side. This state of af-
fairs has aided the bulls in extend
ing the rise in prices and has much
reduced the outstanding short inter-
est. The factors which governed the
trading were not changed in import
ant particulars from those of the re-
cent past. The coming financing of
the Union Pacific is much dwelt upon
and its assurance of success is be-
lieved in.
Market operations today shifted to
Southern Pacific in contrast to the
realizing going on in Union Pacific.
The advantage of position of the Hill
railroads and the ST. Paul by rea-
son of heavy new stock issues which
were subscribed for before the finanr
cial crisis of last year is pointed to
in connection with the rise in those
stocks. The quarterly report of the
United States Steel corporation was
much commented upon and it's show
ing was not helpful to the general
market, although the prices of the
stocks of the corporation were quite
generally held.
The downward course of iron keeps
alive expectations of cut in prices
of finished products before advan-
tage can be felt from the improved
financial position of the railroads

The over subscription to the Inter.

not of such effect on sentiment as
had been the Pennsylvania bond sub

apparent to stimulate the stock mar.

SHOCK-.WASAS SHORT

NEW YORK. April 30.--Following
the suicide last night of Charles Co.'S
ter, prominent broker and society
man, the stock exchange firm of Co.'S
ter, Knapp & Co.. of which Mr.. Cos
ter was member, announced its sus-
pension today on the floor of the
New York stock exchange. The firm
was a prominent one and had done
an extensive business.
No intimation of the firms assets
or liabilities was given, and 1t was
not thought that anything like def
mite figures could be given pending
the completion of the assignee's in
vestigation.
Mr.. Coster, who was rated AS \
millionaire, had prepared for his VII
untary death with a GOODNESS ana
thoroughness which proved beyond
any doubt that the act was premedi-
tated. He selected a time when Mrs.
Coster was at reception, and after
preparing himself for bed tclephoned
to his family physician that Mrs. Cos
ter had severe cold and asked him
to come to the house at once. Soon
after the doctor arrived Coster re-
tired to his room and sent bullet
through his head.
! The shot rang through the house
just as Mrs. Coster entered, return
ing from the reception. and she
rushed to her husbands room. At
the door of the room she met the
family physician, who had found her
husband dead with the smoking re-
volver in his hand.
The relatives of Coster last night
were at loss to account for his act.
Today, however. j. NJ. Knapp. of the
failed firm, issued formal statement
in which he declared that Mr. COster
had been specializing heavily and that
this speculation brought about the
suspension of the firm.
Mr.. Knapp said that the losses
would fall almost entirely upon Cos.
ter and his brother and to small ex.
tent upon himself. On the floor oil

HIGH GRADE COPPER
KEEPS COM|NG..SALE

A group of eight copper claims
were taken over last week from Gil
more & Frederick by H. Hamlin, OPP
Grating for Reno and eastern capital.
The property is a southern extension
of the Wabuska-Y eringtOn property
and is located in the northeastern
section of the Yerington district.
The property was bonded to these
people last summer, but it was not
until last week that these copper
claims changed hands for neat con-
sideration. The people who now
own the property have organized a
company, known as the Yerington-B.
c. Mining Co., and have started act
i've work on this group of claims.
H. Hamlin, the superintendent in
charge of the claims, was in Yering-
ton Monday and he speaks laudatory
of the entire Yerington district, say
ing that he never saw such a large
district and so highly mineralized.
These holdings of the Yerington-
B. G. Co. have the same contacts as
the Wabuska- Yerington and carry a
high percentage of copper. A big
dyke of iron gossan traverses the
ground and carries values as high as
80 per cent copper. About 200 feet
south from this big iron dyke there
is foot parallel lead which can
be traced for eevera! hundred feet
and from which assays of SOS ton
in gold have been had.
As yet the possibilities OF the
ground have not been tested, but II
is the intention of the present man
agement to fully develop the proper
ty and prove the value of the claims
at deptil. Five men were put to work
this week and shortly hoist is to be
erected and probably power Install
ed. AT present sinking on the claims
will be the principal plan of develop
ment
Development work on Knierim and
Sons gold claims, situated on the
old Reservation road. some 10 miles
northeast of Yerington, is progress
ing RAPIDLY. Four men are working
on the claims and as depth is en-
conntered the prospects look more
encouraging. The shaft on the Red
Ton No. l Is down 80 feet on ledge
of good ore. the width of which has
not yet been ascertained. Clear
across the bottom of the shaft. which
is SKI, good values can be had. and
for some number Of days past the
miners have been in. ore, which as
says fair values.
On the Crown Point claim, which
adioins the Red Top No. 1, shaft
is down As feet, and at this depth
the ledge has widened to three Feet
in width, whereas at a depth OF 40
feet the ledge was only two feet
wide. Good values are being had
from the ledge, and 1t is the inten-
tion of the owners to test the
strength of the ledge at greater
depth before cross cutting IS started,

Of the miners has been erected.-

BIG STORIES BROUGHT
OUT FROM THE NEW
CAMP OF BOVARD

Those who come out are telling
! great stories about the discoveries
being made at Bovard. s miles south
of Rawhide. Sam A. King, who went
over there from Salt Lake while on a
trip of inspection to properties in
which he is interested at Lodi, ac-
companied by Jacob Evans, has sam
pies of the ore and story that
shows that Evans was not slow to
move when he saw the original
strike. THE camp has sprung into
being almost in day" said Mr..
King, land it is estimated that dur
ing the past week $500 people have
gone in there from Rawhide and
other places. Mr.. Evans saw the
original strike and took its mesaure
in a calm manner. Then he jumped
In and bought an interest that was
little short of control and paid a good
round sum in cash for it. A company
was organized then and there, known
as the Bovard Strike Gold Mining Co.,
and Mr.. Evans remained at camp to
see everything started off right. The.
quartz ledge is from IL to Is feet
wide. and the ore, just as 1t is broken
off, shows free gold all through it.
Here are few pocket specimens.
Come up to the Office and I will show
100 pound chunks of the same kind
of stuff. 1t is estimated that the en-
tire ledge will average several hun
bred dollars per ton in gold, while
some of the assays made carry most
sensational figures. | saw assays
ranging all the way from $1,000 to
$4,000, and l have no doubt that
could be selected that would
go 100000" While on this trip
Mr.. King took in the Nevada Hills
property at Fairview. and he states
that he was impressed with the show
ing in that bonanza mine. Ore, he
said, was everywhere, from the shall |
lowest to the deepest workings. He
declared it would be impossible to
overstate ANYTHING in, giving de-
scription of 1T.
