Highland District

Wednesday the Butler & Nc
Kinnon Diamond Drilling COM
pany moved their drill, which
has recently been used in the
Nevada DesMoines property, out
to the Fensen-Ray company's
workings in highland district.
It is stated by the owners of this
property that with the contract
ed work of the diamond drill,
they expect to expose one of the
best ore producers of Highland
district.
Every property owner of that
district is awaiting the result of
the work of the drill, and it may
be the means of inducing many
others to prospect for the numer-
GUS bodies Of ore that undoubt-
edly exist in that mineral belt.
The Gypsy property, owned by
Roeder, Nesbitt and Olson, looks
promising that a fiattering offer
has been made the owners, either
a cash deal or a large block Of
stock on the incorporation pro-
position.
Reports from the Milwaukee
claim this week are most fiatter'
ing, and an entirely new body Of
ore has been opened up.

they should be, the Yuba East
will make shipments of high
grade silver ore that will aston
ish the mining world.

San Pedro
Road to Ely
Recent Advices Report Construction
of Line to the Shelters of the
Copper District.

The White Pine News of Ely
has the following to say Of the
recently proposed extension of
the Clark road from Phoebe to
that point:
1t has become known through
recent advices received from the
east that there is possibility Of
the extension Of the San Pedro,
Los Angeles & Salt Lake railroad
from Phoebe to Ely city and the
Steptoe reduction works of Cum
berland, Ely and the Nevada
Consolidated at McGill, as well
as construction Of the proposed
line from Ely city to Tonopah.
The news of the possibility Of
this railroad construction has
made a good deal of elation on
inside circles in the city, where
it is fully realized that results
attendant would be of enormous
value in fastening the day which
will ultimately see the district
the greatest mining, smelling
and railroad center in the west
Pioche will also doubtless find il
the news much to give occasion

New York Market News

On the Stock Exchange ex-
treme dullness reigns. Days Of
small business and narrow fiuc-
tuations are the rule. Several
days recently have approached
the 200, 900 share mark, the low
figure for business on a stock ex-
change during the past five
years. This condition of affairs
in New York's greatest specu-
lative market shows more clearly
than anything the sort of situa-
ton we have now; it is a situa-
ton which spells dull business in
all lines. Business not only dull,
but depressed and discouraging.
The bear party, however, is
diminishing in number. The
bear leaders. men of extraor-
dinary foresight, are not dis
posed to raid the market further,
because they realize that in do
ing so they would simply
strengthen the market against
themselves. Liquidation is prac-
tically over, and stocks are not
for sale at present prices.
The financial condition is
wholly sound, as is evidenced by
the fact that the government i:
withdrawing the millions which
it deposited in national banks
during the panic, and by the fur
ther fact that New York banks
. are retiring bank note circula
, ton. There is an excess of cash
and money on call brings now
only l 3-4 per cent. Incidentally
it may be mentioned that thu
government has now one billiol
dollars in gold in the treasury
Railroad men point to the re
ceivership in the Internationa

for good feeling.
Coming as the announcement
does on the heels Of the convic.
ton which has been pretty gem
orally reached that the smelling
industry in the Salt Lake valley
is practically done for, by reason
of the persistent opposition of
the farming interests, which
have so far made their conten-
tons stick in the. courts, it is
possible that the news carries
still greater significance than has
yet been intimated. 1t would
be a comparatively easy matter
to divert great deal of Salt
Lake business this way were the
extension from Pioche in opera
ton. Some characters of ore
which are being treated at the
smelters there will unquestion-
ably be outlawed under the reg
ulations which it seems deter
mined the courts win fix.
Extension Of the branch line
to this city would make much
shorter haul to the smelter, and
consequently alower rate.

following claims in Phoebe: Tri-

Yuba East, Mary Ann, and a
one-fourth interest in the Belle

dollars is the consideration, and
this amount is the largest that
has been paid over since the

the figures of the Phoebe doctor

others that it seemed to look
good to the county dads. The
service will be for patients of
the county contagious diseases
diseases not included), and until
January l, 1909, Lincoln county
will have to pay for the same
$3.50 per month, whether for one
patient or one hundred.
In awarding this contract the
board still has the contagious
part to be cared for by doctors
of the towns in which the cases
may occur, 50 that from a finan-
