STOCK MARKET

The market yesterday was not as
strong as it had been for several
days previous so far as it concern
ed the Tonopah market. There was
tendency to falling off due pos
sibly to a bear raid. Tonopah Ex-
tension suffered a loss of 8 points,
falling to 60 cents per share from
So. MacNamara and Midway each
fell off 2 points. while Belmont
and West End each declined a
notch. Jim Butler was the excep-
tion of the Tonopah securities; it
arose points, the highest it has
been for some time, namely 13
cents. Undoubtedly the news that
is coming from the leases on this
estate is furnishing the cause for
the activity in that security Tono-
pah Mining and Northumberland
were subjected to no change what
ever.
The Goldfleld market witness Il
some peculiar actions. Consoli-
dated advanced 5 points, while its
neighbor, Florence, which has
usually acted in sympathy with the
Merger holdings, fell to a little
above 50 per share from $3.05
Booth maintained it's strength and
is generally regarded as one of the
buys of the southern camp. Great

MRS. M'G|LL
PASSES TO THE
GREAT Beyond

Mrs. William McGill, the devoted
wife of William McGill of the town
that bears his name, died last week
in Salt Lake City after brief ILL
ness. The burial took place yes
terday and out of respect to the
memory of the deceased the bust,
ness houses of Ely closed their
doors from clock until 4 p. m
Following is a tribue paid the de-
ceased by the Salt Lake Telegram:
Mrs William McGill died yes
terday at st. Marks hospital. She
was brought in desperately i'll from
Ely, Nevada, week ago and died
yesterday. 1t is altogether pitiable.
She went to eastern Nevada when
it was little more than wilderness.
She and her husband fought it out
on that line against the discomforts,
the hardships, the savages-all the
fierce antagonisms of the frontier,
and never wavered, never repined.
rather was always the support and
right arm of the husband. Lately
great fortune has come to them
and they were looking forward to
an old age of plenty and content
ment and peace: the stormy recol-
lections of a strenuous past to
accentuate that peace which was to
be theirs. And now the true wom-
an is dead. She who never worried
when the clouds hung low and all
the turbulent atmosphere was filled
with storm tones. She is gone and
the home of which she was the
light and life is utterly desolate
The ship that outrode all the
storms of tempestuous sea has
sunk in the harbor. though winds
and waves had grown still and the
songs of the birds on shore were
sounding out sweeter than marriage
bells as they mingle with the last
sigh of the wind in shroud and
sails. God Pity her overweary
soul"

BIG WORK BEING
DONE AT TAHOE


About $50 men and sixty horses
are at work at the foot of Lake
Tahoe where the government is put
ting in the big dam. 1t is said
that to view the workings is like
hooking at a bee hive as men are
coming and going and crawling over
the big cement work like as many
bees. A Golfer dam was put in
which divided the stream in two;
then one side was dried out and
fully cemented and when this ~
completed the water will be turned
into this channel and the same work
VIII be done on the other portioa
and then the Golfer dam will be
taken out. Hundreds of people are
going to the dam every day to view
the work

SOUTHERN PACIFIC REPORTED TO
Be AFTER THE NARROW GAGE
THAT RUNS north Of RENO

On switch near the depot in
Reno Monday was side tracked a
car of the Texas Central railroad In
which had arrived the Moran
brothers, the principal owners of the
Northern California and Oregon rail-
road, who are on a tour of inspec-
tion, having travelled from New
York via the southern route.
Fhe visit of these gentlemen at
this time means much in railroad
circles as it is believed that it means
the sale of the Northern California
and Oregon to the Southern Pacific
company. 1t is known that for
some months the matter has been
under discussion by the companies
and that the Western Pacific was
also a factor in the deal, trying to
absorb the road, thus cutting off
one of the great feeders of the
Southern Pacific.
Should the deal go through i.

at this time is growing to be a won
derous country.
For number of years past the
Southern Pacific has had surveys run
through Surprise valley and the
southern section of Oregon. This is
section that is rapidly coming to
the front and the time has arrived
when the Southern Pacific is COM
PEELED to take steps to save itself
and fight the encroachments of the
Western Pacific 1t is said that if
the Western Pacific was to secure
the control of this road that it
would mean the running of another

Southern Pacific and rather than do
this they will go to an extent to Sc

TRACED
FROM EARLIEST DAYS

A concise analysis Of the service per
formed by modern speculation is pre-
sented in Frank Fayant IS monograph.
Some Thoughts on Speculation"
which has been issued by Baruch Bros.
Of tho New York Stock exchange Mr..
Fayant gives in the form of excerpts
from the works of the leading Eng
economists. from the time Of Adam
Smith 10 the present day: l) the eco
nomic view of the necessity of specu
lation; {2) the economic view of the
utility Of the methods of conducting
speculation on the leading exchanges
OF the world; and (3) the economic
view Of the danger of state regulation
of speculation. with a review of the
efforts TO restrict or prevent specula
tion during the past six hundred years.
The speculator is shown to have as
important a place in the modern eco
nomlc scheme as the laborer, the capt
talist, and the cntreprencur, or mana
ger Of labor and capital Among the
many leaders Of economic thought
quoted are: Adam Smith, David Ri
cardo, John Stuart Mill, Herbert Spen-
ccr, j. r. McCulloch. -Jean-Bapfiste
Say, j. +, Calrues, Alfred Marshall
Walter Bagehot DR.. w. Lexis, w
Stanley Jcvons, William Cunningham,
Crosby Emery, Arthur T. Hadley, Hor-
acc White, j. Shield Nicholson David
\. Wells. John A. Hobson, Irving Fish
er A, w. FluX. Frank i. McVey, AL.
pnonsc Courtois, Charles A. Conant,
Paul Leroy Beaulieu. Charles eide,
Henry Rogers Seager and Edwin r.
a. Seligman.
Reviewing English, German and
American legislation against specula-
ton, the author shows how the attacks
ON the English corn dealers in the Mid
die Ages were reflected century after
century in drastic anti-speculation laws,
in spite of which speculation has be
como more and more widespread, be-
cause, with all its evils, it serves
highly useful purpose. The work of the
English Commission of 1873 and the
German Commission Of 1893, the fore
runners Of the New York Commission
of 1909, are described in their rela.
ton to American conditions.
valuable portion Of Mr., Fayant s
monograph is very complete bblio-
grapby of the subject, covering the
leading works i'll English. French and
German, more than a hundred titles.

COLORADO ORE AS
SEEN BY OTHERS
Impression Is That Examining
Engineers Reported Million
and Half Net.
THEY BELIEVE NOTED
ORE BODY HALF GONE
But They Represented the Inter-
ests That Wanted to Buy
Property.

In view Of the much discussed deal
by which the Colorado and Iron Bios
som properties were supposed to be on
the verge of changing hands, local cir
clcs haye been indulging in consider
able speculation in regard to the terms
of the exchange Of control. The in
terests behind the deal or deals have
been very successful in keeping de
tails under cover, No one knows def
nitely what the knight interests were
10 get. or will get, perhaps is better,
for the Colorado and Iron Blossom
stock. About the only definite thing
that leaked out was that the smelter
at Tintic was to 90 at what IT had
cost tho knight people, but information
stopped there, and what the plant did
cost remains an unknown quantity.
In some manner the impression has
been formed that the various engineers
Nho made examinations of the Colorado
mine for the prospective purchasers,
and ;hcre were several sets of them,
on summing mp the results OF their la
bors, found that there was In sight IN
the mine rs much as the company has
extracted. That is, from present midi
cations the company would be able TO
pay dividends in the future TO the cx
tent ii had in the past. Exclusive of
June, the Colorado company distribut-
cd 81 100000. which would give the orc
now in sight the net valuation Of about
81 100000. 1t is evident from this
that the staement made so many times
10 the effect that there were from
$6,000,000 To S12.000000 in sight in the
mine was slightly exaggerated.
The property. however, naturally has
Il speculative value. and one that is !
enhanced by the fact that the ore has
not been opened up by actual work |
vet entirely across the length of the
territory owned by this company. Those
who know what the mine has done be.
licvo firmly that it will be found OK
tending from the Beck Tunnel to the .
Sioux lines, and this would give an
added value. The fact that depth has
been avoided by the management, in
order to allow every hour possible TO
be spent on opening the ore known to
exist, gives an air Of mystery rs TO
what depth will bring forth that is at
tractive.
II would be interesting 10 know how
much these engineers estimated the
Iron Blossom property contained.

of phosphate would have to meet q
serious constitutional objection. The
constitution of the United States pro-
vides that there shall be no export tax
or duty imposed on the expectation Of
the production of any state in the
Union. In the constitutional convcn-
ton there was an absolute unanimity of
opinion that there ought not TO be any
interference with expectation from the
United States of the products of anv Of
the different states of the Union. While
the provision was against the imposi-
tion of an import tax. he said that that
was less Objectionable than an abso-
lute prohibition of expectation would
be. If congress has no power. to i'm
pose an export duty on the products Of
any of the states, it clearly. would not
have the power to prohibit the exporta-
ton Of such productions The state
ment was made by Mr.. Payson that the
supply of phosphate outside the United
States was absolutely illimitable and
inexhanstiblc. Mr.. Smith took issue
with him on this point
In the meantime the question remains
unsolvcd, and the land still is with
drawn.

BILLION DOLLAR CONGRESS.
One Closing This Week Has Largest
Authorizations on Record.

Now that billion-dOllar sessions OF
congress are the rule little other than
appropriation legislation can be enacted
during the short sessions, and the one
to close this week is no exception. Inc
appropriations probably will be the
largest on record, even exceeding the
81 OOS, 900, 900 provided for at the first
session. AS only one of the Is general
appropriation bills has been sent to
the president for his signature an accur-
ate statement of the amount to be ap-
propriated is impossible.
Scarcely any of the general policies
of the country were touched upon at
this session. Discussion of the secret
service, the Panama canal, the Browns
Vile affair and the Tennessee Coal and
Iron company purchase has brought the
administration prominently in view. The
veto of the census bill because the EN-
ployes for the taking of the decenmal
census were not to be placed under civil
service regulations was a feature IN an
other interesting chapter. This bill goes
over to the special session.
The appropriation of 100000 for the
relief of the italian earthquake suffer
ers has been spoken of as the most
significant enactment of the session. A
companion piece of legislation was en-
acted in the first session when the re
mission of the remainder of the Chinese
indemnity was authorized.
