SURVEYS NEEDED IN ALASKA.
Government Is Doing Valuable Work
In Gathering Statistics.

The director of the geological sur
vey says the Mining and Scientific
Press, has estimated that the year
1910, an additional appropriation of
$4,000 making a total of 100000
for the year will be needed for the
surveys in Alaska. Since the begin
ming of geological survey work in
this territory in 1898, $721,1S9 has
heretofore been appropriated. With
this money something over II per
cent of the area has been covered by
geologic, and approximately FL per
cent by topographic reconnaissance
Surveys. In addition, up to the close
of last year, 1904 square miles has
been geologically surveyed in detail,
and 1882 were covered by detailed
topographic maps. During the pres
ent seasonfourteen parties were in
the field.
In addition to the areal surveys
noted, a large amount of time and
attention has been devoted to col

SHOULD Be
BRIGHTER TODAY

Indications are favorable to good
results on the markets from the mid.
week rest secured through observ-
ance of the Thanksgiving holiday,
Expectation is that today's opening
will show stronger conditions and
it will be a disappointment if recov-
cry does not begin from the set
back which came to the market a
week ago.
Ely stocks are considered in par
ticularly favored form for participa-
ton in any strong upward move
ment as well as in strong position to
hold their own, as they have done
in the last week, regardless of down
ward inclination of other stocks. Re-
cent developments attracting new in
terest to the district are all highly
favorable to the stocks and should
have early effect in higher price lev
els all along the line.

filed with the court as a part of his
deposition.
H. j. Haley, of the Wells-Fargo
Express company, was the next wit
ness. He stated that he had charge
of the records of the company, and
was given until Friday afternoon at
2 O'Clock to file with the court a list
of all bullion and ore shipments
handled by the Goldfield Office of
Wells-Fargo company since the first
of the year, 1909.
Figures from the First National
bank showed that that concern had
shipped, in various consignments, a
total of $4,000 in bullion to the
mint since June 1, 1909-the amount
given being mint returns. OF this
amount, $4,000 is in the suspect
ed list" of the three mining COM
panies above named-the balance
from Manhattan and other camps.
i he list of suspected shipments
follow.
The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1909-11-26

According to one of the Console
dated officials the figures of bullion
shipments made by the First National
Bank for assayers are surprising as
to their magnitude, and they predict
that when the Wells-Fargo figures
are returned, there will be a genuine
sensation. All of the above ship
ments are under suspicion by the Of
ficials of the "big three mining cop
panies, as being the result of the re-
duction of stolen high grade, sold to
the assayers and reduced by them.
1t appears that on the part of some
of the local assayers there has been
a fo~rgetfuness to comply with the
statute that provides that any assay
er or reduction or milling concern
that purchases ore must make a per-
manent record of the date upon
which the ore was purchased, from
whom, and it's approximate value.
Inc mining companies concerned are
evidently relying upon this lapse on
the part of the e who have been
purchasing ore to bring them into
court and try to force them to tell
from whom the ore was purchased.
They also evidently depend upon the
fact that the statute is not generally
observed as an argument in favor of
granting the injunction.

Representative Cox and Dixon of

that before boy can be enlisted in

mean fewer desertions. Representa-

Unmailable Matter.

Very frequently the rural carriers
pick up pieces OF unmai. able matter
and occasionally one is dropp d in at
the postoffice and the fact that at is
held for the proper mailing creates
much annoyance and many dissap-

the trouble comes from post cards
that are covered with tinsel and other
cards enclosed in transparent en-
velopes, which the uninformed pub
lie buy from unscrupulous dealers.
This can all be avoided il the buyer
OF post cards will bear in mind that
a card covered with tinsel is unmail-
able unless enclosed in an envelop,
