H. A. Swab, a local expert in bee
matters, bore down upon the scene to
capture the swarm. He was armed
with a nail key and two long sticks.
He sent his helper to coax the bees
into the key, but in less than six sec

tive bees up his sleeves, and he made
a dash toward the railway station.
Swab also remembered he had an i'm

the once of the joint Committee on
Conservation at Washington that q
plan has been worked out for the rail-
roads to take part in the movement
for the conservation Of natural re-
sources of the country.
The plan is the oueSrowth Of . series
OF conferences between Representatives
| OF the committee and OF leading rail-
roads. which have been going on since
early spring.
Some ideaNof the Importance Of the
plan may be gained from the fact that
the preliminary negotiations on the
part Of the railroads have been carried
on by representatives OF the American
Railway Engineering and Maintenance
of Way Association. Attention was
also given TO the subject OF conserYa-
tion at the recent meeting of the Amer
lean Railway Master Mechanics Assoc
citation at Atlantic City. The enormous
amount OF timber and iron used by the
railroads. as well as the great amount
of coal consumed by them, make the
proposed plan one Of the greatest mag
nitude. ~
The plan as now agreed upon be-
tween the Conservation Committee and
the railroads provides o systematic ar
rangement by which the joint commit
tee In to give the railroads suggestions
as to how the various railway systems
can pat conservation policies into ef-
feet. The associations on their part
undertake to have the railroads take
active steps toward carrying out these
suggestions.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

New York, May 9.-The long awaited
decision of the supreme court on the
validity of the commodities clause of
the Hepburn act, proved the key which
unlocked the speculation IN the stocks
from the bonds which had been hold
ing.
The advantage of the coal roads
from the practical nullification OF the
intention of the act to compel them to
disappropriate the coal mining prop,
erty was sufficiently obvious. The
stock market lawyers also rushed to
some sweeping and loose interpreta-
ton of the bearing OF the decision on
the whole subject of corporation con-
troll reading into it practical immu-
nifty from the power of the govern
ment to prevent combinations and
mergers and a repeal, In effect of the
provisions OF the antitrust law.
Report during the week of proposed
amendments to the Hepburn law to
make its purpose effective and OF cab
met conferences on the subject had
some modifying influence on the stock
market sentiment
Another effective influence on spec
ulative sentiment was the evidence
of improvement in financial conditions,
namely In the great basic steel indus.

arrest of the downward Course Of quo

tion has overtaken the rate of produc-
ton and put stop to the accumula-
tion of surplus stocks
The fact that bank clearings

another evidence of the explanation OF
business with allowance necessary for
the active speculation going on in var
ious lines.

GOOD SHOWING IN
MANY NEVADA CAMPS

One of the best evidences OF return
ing prosperity In the state Of Nevada,
and one that is having a telling effect,
is the great influx of people-inyes-

camps OF Pioneer and Lucky Boy"
said j. E. Pelton to Lovelock Review

state is dead one all they have to
do is TO visit these camps for a day
or so and they will be convinced of my
assertion. 1t is remarkable The atten-
ton these two camps In particular are
receiving. The time Will soon come
when all the available territory will
have been taken up and the result
will be that the overflow will be seek

offer just as good opportunities. The

well as the Seven Troughs, had just

has been looking over his property.

the tunnel had been driven in for a dis
tance OF 400 feet and that altogether
the property looked very promising.
In driving the tunnel several blind
ledges have been cut and number
OF them are productive OF very en-.
couraging values. 1t will require con-
siderable more tunnelling before the
main ledge of the property is reached.
but when this is accomplished some
thing good Is expected. When the
main ledge is tapped 1t is intended to
not only commence prospecting at the
point. but drifts will be run on several
OF the large lodges cut In the tunnel.
Mr. Pelton said that while it IS true
the Seven Troughs district was little
quiet Just now, 1t was his firm belief
that sooner or later it would be one
Of the busiest and best in the state.
