~ W 90 POAAACCN OuI III LLll6 COl-
umn last week that the larger
interests in the stock market
would not permit any serious re-
action, but on the contrary would
work for the betterment of pri-
ces. 1t was also suggested that
holders of smelters need fear no
serious break in that stock.
The events of the past few
days show the soundness of this
conclusion drawn from an anal
ysis of underlying market con-
conditions. Shelters has already
recovered the loss made follow
ing the publication of the COM
pany's annual report, and the
market is several points higher
than it was a week ago.
The manipulation which has
been going on in the general
stock market for the past four
or five months and the move
went in security prices resulting
therefrom has been of incalcula- :
BILE benefit to business, and is
abundantly justified by the gen.
eral improvement in business
conditions. Men who had "bor-
rowed to the breaking point"
have been relieved of their loads.
1t is possible to borrow more
money on good securities and to
put that money to constructive
uses. 1t has instilled confidence
into business men and paved the
way for a general business re-
vival.
The stock market may be ex-
pected to improve further. There
is no present menace to the situ-
alton except the possibility of
Bryan's election. and this the
financial interests of the country
are inclined to minimize.
In the west there is a growing
conviction that Bryan will give
Taft a close race, and that he
may win. His advocacy of a
government guarantee for ma
tional bank depositors is winning
him friends, even among bank
ers. A considerable number OF
national bank officials of note
favor the adoption of this policy.
Furthermore country is still filled
with idle and discontented men
who will vote for a change.
Bryan may carry some western
states that the republicans look
upon as safe for Taft. Certain
it is that the Taft managers srt
awakening to the fact that hey
have a serious fight on tleil
hands.
l
In New York the larger finan'
cial interests profess to believe
that the election of Bryan woulC
would have no bad or lasting
effect on business. They regarC
Bryan as no more of a reaction
ary than Roosevelt, and conside
him quite as safe. Bryan is no
impulsive as is the present occu
pant of the white house. In tn
event of his election he can b
counted on to move more slowl
e and to assume a conservatism

We, the republicans OF
Lincoln county, Nevada, in
convention assembled, here
by reaffirm and endorse the
National and State plat
forms of the republican
party, and bind and pledge
our legislative nominees, to
abide by the decision of the
State convention in the Sc

Whereas, the county of
Lincoln is too large for eco

therefore favor division at

Lincoln county, that the
nominees for senator and
assemblymen of this con-
ventiOn, will use every
available means to so d.
vide this county at the next
session of the state legisla-

bound to act in accordance
with this, our expressed de-

which an election to the presi-
dency nearly always gives. The
financial and business interests
of the country do not expect
Bryan's election, but they do not
fear it.
The curb and mining lists are
strong. Few of the curb issues
are being manipulated atpreaent,
which makes their strength all
the more remarkable. La Rose,
the most manipulated Of the curb
issues, seems to be destined to
sell at new high levels, though It
must not be forgotten that The

is probably the biggest | single
mine in cobalt, though the Ja-
cobs (Kerr Lake, and the Coma
gas press it hard to premier
honors.
Nipissing, of course, is the
most important of the Cobalt
mining companies, and is bound
to profit by any market move
ment on Cobalt stocks.
Cobalt is admittedly the best
silver camp in the world today,
because its mines could make
money even if silver should de-
cline to 25c per ounce. No silver
mines in the world are operated
at such profit, considering the
amount of production in relation
to it's cost.
Cumberland Ely is being vig-
orously tipped for much higher
prices, and will doubtless sell
higher, but on any 25 per cent
rise holders are advised to take
profits.
The Goldtield situation remains
about the same. Florence and
Goldheld Consolidated are pur-
chases for investment, and good
speculative profits. Good Gold
field prospects are speculatively
very attractive.
| A glance at the London m ng
list suffices to show the Blk ID
vance which has taken p'ace in
Kafirs during the past few days.
Kaffirs are the She gilt edged in
vestments Of the mining world.
Esperanza is a little weaker,
and so 3 Camp Bird. The latter
seems to have good market pros
poets as well as the former. The
physical condition of Camp Bird
is said to be improving.
Copper is firm. and copper
stocks are strengthening con
stantly. Some one of these day
investors will berate themselve
for not having laid in a supply o
standard copper shares at tn
prices now ruling.
Bay Gas seems to be pluminI
; itself for a further advance. Tn
Lawson stocks are from a gamt
ling standpoint very interesting

Thirty-four attended person
ally, and thirteen proxies were
used, making a total of forty
seven votes in the convention,
Thursday was republican day
at Caliente, and if harmony in
the greatest degree ever pre-
vailed in a county convention in
Lincoln county, it was at this
one. Many anticipated a repeti-
ton of the procedure of the dem
ocratic meeting held at Phoebe
last week, but the good, con-
servative republican principles
were adopted on questions where
any danger might have been,
with the result that every one in
Lincoln county may thank the
republican party for. They have
given the resident taxpayers an
opportunity to express them
selves regarding the division of
the county. The platform is
under another head, which ex-
plains in what manner the senti-
ment will be procured, which
every resident taxpayer has
been given this privilege through
the republican party.
The ticket nominated is one
which seems to be a winner
throughout. From north to
south representation has been
given, and every delegate re-
turned home with a feeling of
satisfaction and contentment.
No machine appeared. The
strongest man got the NOM
ination, and that of state
senator was the closest, the
