An occasional report Of damage
from prairie fire appears in the state
papers. Such reports will probably
become more frequent during the
next few weeks. Farmers who in
tend to burn stubble, or prairie be-
fore breaking, should use every pre-
caution to prevent the spread of the
fire. 1t is we'll to remember that the
laws are very strict and damages are
easily collected from the party re-
sponsible for a prairie fire.
Capt. c. W. Lance, of the 'Mtr.

Henry more of a summer resort last
season than ' before, has been en-
gagged building boats nearly all win.
ter. He has completed seven new
boats which are to be equipped with
gasoline power, and has more orders
on hand. 1t is safe to say that not
only Lake Henry but the other lakes
hereabouts will be supplied with boats
in good shape the coming summer,
and that it will be a pleasure to go
for a ride occasionally. If the owners
of the land where the Lake Henry
grove is situated would plat the same,
we believe that many cottages would
be erected this summer and that it
would grow in importance as an out
ing resort materially every year.

INSPIRATION IS
A GREAT MINE
SAYS GATES

From Charles G.. Gates, formerly
general manager of Nevada United
at Ward, where he did some excel
lent work in finding and blocking
out ore for that property, a letter has
been received by Fred S. Pheby, fol-
lowing a visit made by Mr.. Gates to
Globe. In the letter Mr. Gates says
in part:
.Inspiration offers equally as good
possibilities. Drilling results have
been very satisfactory and the linn
tied amount of underground work,
practically all of which has been in
ore, has blocked out about 1000, 900
tons.
Records of drill holes which l
saw, show an ore body of at least
1900 feet in length, better than
400 feet average width and 215 feet
average thickness. The limits of
which were being constantly ex-
tended.
"a large remaining portion of the
property offers equally as promis-
ing a possibility. Inspiration stock
is locally held as the favorite of the
district, as a combined speculation
ana luV0SQpucut. R~cVclopHaolat WIN
is to be crowded by the installation
of air drills. A 25-drill compressor
will be ready for operation within
the next so to 80 days.
Reports Of rapidly increasing ton
mage in sight such as will be forth
coming during the next IL months
should make this stock an attract
I've purchase"
Mr.. Gates is known as an exceed
ingly conservative mining engineer
and what he has to say regarding
Inspiration will be taken here by his
aequaintances as under rather than
over the mark of exact conditions.
The fact that the Globe district peo-
pie consider Inspiration as the
choice of their present market offer
ings is another exceedingly high rec
ommendation of the property, as
~ulobeites have the reputation of go
ing slow but sure in the forming of
opinions as to the properties of their
camp.

METALS GAIN,
FRIGHTENING
THE OUTLOOK

A better tone was given to the
market yesterday by strength gained
by the metals. Both lead and cop
per were higher, the former making
marked advance. Copper demand the
first Of the month promises to be
stiff. The stocks responded to the
improved metal price yesterday with
greater firmness and some advances.
Inspiration was among those that
went higher. AS a whole, however,
the curbs were quiet and holiday
dullness much in evidence.
Among the Locals, Mcdonald Ely
took an advance movement, said to
be the forerunner of considerable
likely gain for this stock on the
strength of announcements expected
at early date concerning future plans.
Interest is also gaining for similar
reasons in Success, which, fndica-
lions are will come in for much
prominence soon by reason of the
movements of the interests controll-
ing this property and Mcdonald Ely.
Among the other local issues there is
little doing, dullness prevailing dur
ing the week. The pushing of Resur-
rection ON the market, which prom
ised to enliven the week, has appar-
emily been temporarily checked, for
which there are several reasons adj
vanced. The most likely of these
appears to be report that pooling OF
the stock was not sufficiently made
in advance of the present f1otation
and that steps have been halted I'M
til pooling is perfected. While sales
were being made here at the price Of
rs cents, the Salt Lake as we'll as the
home market was being demoralized

e. w. HULsE & co. LETTER.

YoSCerQayS market, IN most lu-
stances, showed signs Of renewed
life. Several of the issues showed
good gains before the close of the
day and the others held up with q
firmness that was gratifying. Bos-
ton Ely took another of those spurts
which made it the prime factor of a
busy market last week, closing at
$4.75. Those who managed to hold
over the holiday and assessment Pc
RODS are, therefore,. wearing the
same smile which graced their coun-
tenances last week. They appear to
have great faith in this issue and
with but few exceptions, are holding
for a much higher price. Ely Cen
trail closed somewhat weaker than
it has been for several days, but it's
decline was not of an alarming ma
ture. Mason Valley completed the
day much stronger than ON Mon
days market, closing at $2.05. Cum
berland withstood the effofts OF
those behind the copper merger to
keep it down and closed a half dol
lar in advance of it's previous quota
ton. Giroux dropped back from
$11.12h to $11.00. Ely Con. held
to its mark of 80 while Witch and
Federal also went through the days
trading very creditably.
