DAYS SENSATION
Stock Made Spectacular Advance
During Today's Ex-
change Calls.
RuMoRS OF STRIKE RIFE.
Manager Holloway Says Outlook Is
Tavorablc-That's
III.

Sioux Consolidated figured in SELL
sational rise on the mining exchange
today, the stock selling up to 40 cents
per share: whereas, during yesterday
afternoons calls, 1t was bought around
25 and &c cents.
There were some wild rumors hoat-
ing about and many We're lead TO be-
lieve that important news of a strike
had been received from the mine. The
fact that a. Hood of buying orders came
from Tintlc camps gave color TO the
truth of these reports ana IN the eN-
citement q total OF 4J5UV snates
changed hands, without anyone OBJ
tanning definite Information about con-
dittons at the mine. Both brokers and
their clients got in and bought; but
as the news of what was going on
spread about, selling orders came IN
more freely, and when trading ceased
the stock had eased off to SO cents,
with indications of further break this
afternoon
That nothing has happened at the
mine within the past few hours to
justify such sudden rise in the stock
was the emphatic declaration of Man
ager A. N. Holloway who is in the
city today.
that while conditions We're never more
encouraging at the Sioux Consolidated
property, at the same time we haVo
struck no big ore body The indications
are good, and that is about all you
can say about II. These stories OF
strikes have been circulated too often
to suit me. When the Sioux Consol-
dated has strike worth talking about
The public will know 1t; but l do not
propose TO say we have one when we
haven't.
owing to a break in the compress
sor plant yesterday, l closed the mine
down pending the making of repairs
and i presume that is what started
the strike story which helped to boost
the price of the stock today"
When questioned about the amount
OF development done In the property,
Mr.. Holloway stated that the shaft
Is now in 1926 feet. The bottom is in
limestone showing very good colors
which condition in the Colorado, has
been indicative of ore. 'Of course, y

NEWHoUsE TUNNEL.
Agreement Made 10 Extend II Into
Gilpin County.

Denver, May 2S.-- An agreement was
entered into in this city yesterday be-
tween the company owning the New
house tunnel and representatives OF
more than 300 properties adjacent there
to, extending from Idaho Springs to
Central City, whereby the tunnel. now
17,470 feet in length, viii be extended
into Gilpin county, where is located the
oldest and one of the richest gold min
ing camps in Colorado, and the district
drained of water. This will permit OF
the re-opening of many valuable mines
that have long since abandoned opera
lions because of inability to handle the
water question. The two hills which
the tunnel will penetrate have already
produced more than $55, 900 in metal.
With the revival of activity there, more
than 5000 men will be given employ
ment in the mines. Work Will begin
within a month.

New York, May 2S.-Prices of stocks
