BIOLOGIST FINISHES
WORK FOR SEASON
ON DISTRICT SURVEY

A. c. Spencer, of the United States
Geological Survey, who has been in
the district for the past several
months, leaves this morning for
Washington. Mr.. Spencer vas de-
tailed by the department to fill in
the typographical map of the dis
trict madeby T~opographer McLaugh-
lin about two years ago. His work
is not yet finished, for it has been
no little undertaking, and he has
been a very busy man since his ar
rival. His stay has been devoted to
the study of the general geology of
the district and the time has not been
sufficient for an investigation of the
mines. He will return in the spring
to complete this work.
Mr.. Spencer is very pleased with
the district, and say that develop
ment is only in it's infancy. He has
found much to interest him, but his
position is such that he is not free to
tell of what he has found. the gov
eminent being entitled to the earliest
knowledge of that. 1t will be a year
or more before his report to the gov
eminent will be ready for publica-
ton. In all likelihood, Mr.. Spencer
will be hailed in the days to come
as the Spur Of the Ely district.

Connection with reported deal for the
sale of control of the property to

Craig recently said that he proposed
no more work OF Federal Ely until
after this transaction was closed, and
at the time he added that it was Cole
Ryan's move. Boston Ely was some
weaker yesterday but will come up.
There has been no change at the
property to warrant decline. On the
other hand the dump is looking more
favorable every day to the making
of a mine. Ely Central continued

ing that resistance has been with
drawn to the slump and that it is
going to be permitted to wear itself
out. The decline of this stock has
failed entirely of the effect 1t was
expected to have in lowering other OF
the Independent Ely issues. Salt Lake
has taken no notice of the Central
decline and is pushing the other Elys
right along. Ely Witch is particu-
larly strong over there, on the
strength of belief that refinancing OIL

ment and entry to the shipping list
if possible, has been accomplished.

The opening of the market saw
Nevada Con-, Cumberland Ely and
Giroux very strong. Around Mon
days figures, the other issues show
ed a little weakness, which did not
change before the close. Boston-Ely

from eastern brokerage houses are
to the effect that there will be o n
siderable strengthening before the
end of the week. Ely Central con-
tinued to decline, the fav )rable re-
action which had been expected fail
ing to materialize. Federal jumped
from IL cents, at the close of Mon
day, to Is cents last evening. Ely
Consolidated holds strong above 80

Soon after the arrival of a visitor, a
maid enters and offers a tray, on which
are a pot of roseleaf jam and orange

several glasses of water. The guest is
given a spoonful of jam, which must
