the concern was an extensive one.
But when collections became slow,

the situation over.
He made them the proposition that
if they would allow him S12 a week
for living expenses he would make
the wreck pay out. They accepted
the proposition. and Ream handled
the assets aud paid out. Then he
went to Chicago. Being familiar
with farm animals. he found en-
ployment at the stockyards. Later
he turned his attention TO wheat. and
made a good deal of money. When
one OF the great biscuit companies
was fioated there was difficulty in
raising the last two millions of the
nine required. After others had
failed. Ream took the scheme in hand

come from strong sources in New

Sentiment on eoppers is buliish as
a rule and the general belief is that
a turn will soon come and that
prices will be much higher than they
have been before on this movement.
Reports from the Butte camp and
several others show that costs are
being greatly reduced, and that the
leading companies will be able 10 pro-
duce copper at good profit even at
the present price of the metal. and
the knowledge of this condition is
helping matters a great deal. The

can make a good profit now they will
be in line for handsome returns when
the improvement in general condi-

Road Charges Not Prepaid.

RENO. May 30.-The Southern
Pacific Co. yesterday raised the pre-
paid embargo. placed several months
ago on all freight consigned to points
on the Tonopah & Goldfield railroad.
This will be good news 10 all ship

all their goods to Tonopah. Goldfeld
and other points on the Tonopah *
Goldfeld without preparing the
charges or having the consignees
guarantee the payment of the
charges Of the goods before they ara
shipped. An important feature OF the
ruling is the confidence shown in the
improved business conditions extant
in the southern camps.
Several months ago. the companies
shipping goods into Goldfeld over
the line of the Tonopah 4 Goldfield
found il necessary 10 refuse to ship
goods and 10 place an embargo on all
goods consigned for points along the
line of the ionopan * Goldtield on
which the freight charges had not
been prepaid as they claimed they
could not collect their freight charges
If they allowed them TO be shipped
on the line OF the Tonopah q Cold
field without first receiving their
freight charges.
This action of the Southern Pacific
and other lines caused the merchants

much distress as it did the merchants
of the southern part Of the state. who
are compelled TO receive goods over
