the annals of Nevada mining have
such snowy specimens for the con.
spicuoisness of the gold been found,
II is ire conspicuous than in the

between the bright yellow gold and

marked. Mrs. Nay has a number az

ded with little nuggets to the ex.
tent that the valuation will reach to
the six figure point, while on the
other side, the greyish white quartz
is as laden with with gold sulphides
as the opposite side is with the ma
tive metal, showing beyond the pos
sibility of controversion that the
ledge has undergone secondary en-
richment.
1t is evident that the ore is chang
ing to sulphides, yet contains sc
much free gold in addition therto
that 1t merely means a multiple.

A most remarkable and startling
feature of the showing at present is
that the matter on the upper side of
the rich strike which the owners
thought might be the hanging wall,
on being broken into. has proved to
be a ledge matter of grayish color
and is ore of more than a shipping
grade, panning easily $500 a ton.
1t will be remembered that when
the great strike was first announced
it was stated that the rich streak vas
exposed on the surface for a distance
of II to Is feet only. Thursday

General Manager Ftp. Mills is do
ing splendid work at khe, Giroux. ia
Ely, Nevada, campo Last month there
were $3.50 feet of drifting done in this
task of liningiu pa the big shaft, and
is several of .the drifts ore of high
grade was encountered. { The new
shaft is to be Accompaniment, and
there will be plenty of work for 1t to
do when completed. Mr. Mills is en-
thusiastic over the. property the more
he gets acquainted with It.. The
work thus far done since he took
charge of affairs locally has been to
test the surface and to prepare the
way for the new shaft. In the drill
ing much new ore was found which
adds much to the former known ore
values of the property. The Alpha
shaft promises to be a remarkably
rich one with very large ore deposits.
Enough has already been proved to
make this certain. f%lN

quickly be made a large producer, it

BETTER DEMAND
YESTERDAY
ELY CENTRAL WAS THE FEA-
TURE OF LOCAL COPPERS-
NEVADA CON-, MASON VALLEY
AND GIROUx WE'RE ACTIVE.

Professional sentiment experienced
a change yesterday on the market. A
great deal Of the buying was by pro-
fessionals who were short of stocks
and who believed that the market is
due for a rally and that stocks are
about as cheap now as they will ever
be during the dull summer months.
Business on the street has increased
considerably during the last few days
and under ordinary market condi-
lions stocks would work to much
higher prices. Industrials and lead
ing rails were quite strong and ac-
tive, touching the highest marks they
have eve made. Prominent banking
and brokerage firms claim that the
market is too high in these classes of
stocks, and that the public will not
buy into the market at these high
figures, and that a, reaction will have
to occur before a strong upward
movement can begin. The New York
bank statements were quite en-
couraging, showing a fair increase in
the cash reserve funds. 1t was ex-
pected that the large exports to for
eign ports would show a large loss
of reserve. Metal markets in both
London and New York were quiet
and dull. Ely Central was the fea-
ture OF. the local coppers on today's
market, advancing one and one-half
points over yesterdays market on
heavy transactions. There is con-
siderable short interest in this stock,
but it is believed that most OF them
will quickly take to cover; this alone
will have a tendency to force the
stock up to higher levels. Giroux,
Nevada Con. and Mason Valley held
firm. Mason Valley has been dis
playing more strength of late and
looks due for quick profits. This
stock has had a sever reaction and
a rally is likely to occur very short
ly. Money call was nominal, from

He is an old time placer and quartz
miner, and has been in the mining
business for oyer 80 years. He says
that the placer deposits in the gulch
are about the biggest and richest he
has ever SEEN. and he predicts a great
future for them.
Two shafts, each so feet deep,
we're sunk by the former owners, and
a third shaft is nov going down
under the new management. 1t is
the intention to strike the channel as
near it's center as possible. From
the first shafts sunk values as high
as $25 per yard had been secured
from the gravel, and the property
was generally looked upon as one of
the big ones in the gulch.

that should be determined is, the area

location of the canal and basin for

general scheme of the layout of the
main thoroughfares through the tract
developed. The small details can best
be designed as the work progresses
and the demand determines.
Il am of the opinion that it is UNI
wise for the city to start an enterprise
as large as.this one with an a%ppropria-

be better for the city to have an APP
