MINING
SURFACE SHOWING ABOUT
KELLER GIVES GOOD ASSAYS

Bert Shively, who is interested in the
mining section around Keeler, is of the
opinion that that region is destined TO
develop some important mines in the
near future. Shively is interested with
w. B. Milliken in four claims situated
fifteen miles east OF Keller, on the
Cerro Gorda-Dorwin mineral belt He
says the surface gives most encouraging
assays.
Shively made a trip through the
Argus Coso and Inyo mountains and he
was favorably impressed with the en-
tire country. At Keller, he says, the
Guggenheims, who now own the old
Cerro Gorda mine, are rebuilding the
smelter formerly in commission there
and will have it in operation by the
first of the month. 1t is 200-ton plant.
The mine is situated about ten miles
away, and the ore will be carried to the
smelter by an aerial tram.
Kruger, Shively understood, was sold
a short time ago for 100000. The en-
tire region he thinks is one Of promise,
and when the Southern Pacific COM
pletes it's railroad through to Keller he
is of the opinion that there will be a
great revival in mining. This road is
now thirty-seven miles out Of Mojave.
and is being pushed steadily ahead.
The idea is to connect at Keeler with
the Carson & Colorado, which road will
be broad gagged, thus giving tho
Southern Pacific more direct eastern
connections.

NEW STRIKE MAY DEVELOP
A SECOND DIAMOND QUEEN

The new gold strike on the Biddlesome-
Guisti property, some three-fourths
of a mile west of the Diamond Queen,
in the Bullfrog district, is turning out
to be one of the best yet made in that
vicinity. The gold ore occurs along
side the galena that was found some
weeks ago and adds very materially to
the value of the lease.
So far as known the ore has only been
developed to a depth of about twelve
or fifteen feet from the surface and 1t
is improving and getting wider as depth
is gained The lessees are working
steadily getting out ore and sinking a
shaft.
When a depth of fifty or seventy-f1ve
feet is reached drifts will be run on the
ore and stopping started. A carload
shipment will soon be accumulated
The ore is running from $50 to several
hundred dollars a ton, according to
assay returns received from local as
savers, and the owners as well as the
lessees believe they have a second Dia-
mond Queen.

NEW YORK STOCK

NEW YORK, July 22.-There was no con-

all day. Extreme uncertainty OF sPecuIative
sentiment seemed to be experienced by the
number of fluctuations. The speculative con-
tlngent has looked forward to a decision OF

fine levied upon it with lively interest. 1t
was generally known that the decision Will be
rendered today and the Wall street public was
keenly alert for the first news Of It's char

became known there was excitement manifest

that the shadow of this fine hanging over the
standard Oil has been restraining influence
on the activities Of capitalists in that group
and that the winning of their case would re-
suit in increased activity on their part 1t
has been argued also that good effect on
the general movement of capital might be ex-
pected, owing to an Interpretation OF sueh a
decision.
The effect in the Wall street stock market,
however, proved to be very shortlived. The
