MUCH ACTIVITY
At EUREKA
CONDITIONS IN THE OLD CAMP
ARE IMPROVING AND ALL
LOOK FORWARD TO PROS
Porous TIMES.

While the boom that has been
prophesized for Eureka this summer
has not come as rapidly as some OF
the more enthusiastic residents may
have hoped, the conditions in this
section of the state have improved a
great deal during the past few weeks,
and there Is now every reason to be-
lieve that the improvement is but the
beginning of really prosperous times
says the Eureka Sentinel. The i'm
provement is to be seen in many diff
ferent ways, which when taken to-
gether must convince the most pessi-
mistic inhabitant of the district that
amount of activity in Eureka mining
circles. One of the most notable evil
dences is the number of strangers
who are coming into town. An old
resident who is we'll acquainted here
was watching the people pass on the
streets the other evening, and re-
marked that at least three out of five
who passed were strangers to him.
This is literally true, and nearly all
of these are strong, intelligent-look-
ing men who make for excellent cit
izenship in any mining camp. They
are going quietly about their busi-
ness, with littleNto say and no dis
turbance of any kind. Many have
found employment in the mines. and
others are waiting for an increase of
the forces at the mines.
There are more mining men COM
ing into the district than have been
seen here for years, and all seem to
be alive to the fact that there are
many remarkably fine properties
here that are available. The coming
of others who are we'll known invest.
ore in mining property is expected
daily. and the experts who will make
the examinations of some of the de-
veloped mines will be here this week
There are an unusual number of au
tomobiles coming in from Ely, Tono
pah and Goldfield, and each brings
men who expect to invest in Eureka
district if favorable opportunity is
offered.
Real property in Eureka has no
been moving for several years, bu
within the last month several sales
have been made at prices that arr

! large in comparison to those which
! have been asked for the same prop
ty heretofore. Vacant houses are be
| ing inquired for by those who expect
to bring their families, and it is now
expected that many new families will
be moving in during the summer
There has been little building going
on in town during the past 10 or 15
years, but 1t is now reported that
some new houses will he built AZ
soon as arrangements can be maze
for lneir construction.
The output of ore that is being
shipped has not increased to a great
extent as yet. This feature sof growth
depends largely upon an increase in
railroad facilities, but ii is thought
that the new railroad to he construc-
ted in the near future from Ely to
Goldfield will give the district ample
means of transportation at minimum
rates. The Eureka low grade ores
carry little lead, and 1t is now fully
demonstrated by the success of the
Windfall plant that these ores can be
treated at small cost by the Eu-
reka-Winfall mine. This metnoo
of treating the ores will undoubtedly
revolutionize mining in Eureka dis
trict, as soon as the necessary plants
can be gotten ready for operation.
The lead ores offer an excellent OPP
portunity for concentrating plant,
and these ores can he had in inn
4mense quantity.
F The Holly mine is shut down tenn
porary hut will resume, operations
as soon as the water supply can be
brought in through pipeline from
the One-Eyed Nick Ranch and con-
centrating plant constructed. The
ore blocked out is sufficient to war
rant the making of these extensive
surface improvements and it is prob
able that no further work under
ground will be done until the plant
is ready for operation. The Holly is
the only new mine on Adams Hill
that has been developed the past
year, and the quantity and value of
the ore now in sight there is attract
ing a good deal of attention TO this
once highly productive section of
Eureka district. Other mines on
Adams Hill are working steadily
with their regular forces.
The outlying districts are receiv-
ing their full share of the interest
that is being manifested here. Cali
fornia parties are now making an ex-
animation of properties in Spring
Valley and a contract for tunnel
400 feet in length was recently let
for the purpose of developing one of
the Silverado mines, Secret Canyon
is also the scene of considerable de-
velopment work, which has been go
ing on during the last eight months.
However, it is probable that the
Prospect Mountain region is receiv-
ing the most attention at the present
time.

YESTERDAYS RALLY ONLY
TEMPORARY - STOCKS ARE
HOLDING STRONG CONSIDER
ING DULLNEss.

Stocks are on the downgrade again
today Prices were sent back again
and yesterdays rally only seemed
TO be temporary. Trading was very
light on the street todal and taking
1t all in all the street had very
deserted appearance. There seemed
to be no life to the market and the
country demand for stock is very
light. Operators on the market
claim this reaction will make a bet
ter fall market, as a great many
people will get back 10 the market
and buy stocks aroung these figures,
and in this way stocks will be better
distributed, and at the same time
conditions are rapidly advancing to
level with the market They also
predict a fall boom in stock prices.
This is not by any means bearish
market as stocks are holding sur
prisingly strong, considering the
dullness and light demand for stocks
A very significant feature in the
market is the strength and activity
in the bond market. Business has
been very good in bonds of late and
at advanced prices. The persistent
demand for high grade class of bonds
is returning good interest on invest
ment, which indicate confidence on
the part of our best informed men.
1t is not believed that the reaction
will continue and those who have
delayed buying can get in now at
cheap prices; at the same time get
in position to take advantage of the
raise that is sure to come after the
torrid weather is over.

Two blighted romances with "a

police when B. K. Sallros, of 252

came to the police station and at

Since the discovery of the note
three days ago the lakes in the
park have been dragged, and po-
licemen have searched the grounds
for the body of the supposed sui
eide without success.
Sallros arrived at the station
and begged to see the waist. He
confessed to having thwarted a
love match between his daughter
and man named Berrio, and he
feared that his act had caused
Miss Saliros, who disappeared
three weeks ago, to commit sui
eide. Sallros failed to identify
the clothing.
Shortly afterward a young man
entered the station and stated
that he had not heard of his

MEASURE INTRODUCED IN
GEORGIA LEGISLATURE
LEGISLATING AGAINST MAN

HORSES.

ATLANTA, July 27.-That q
bill pending in the state legislature
today is designed, more than any
thing that has occurred Of recent
date, to bring about women's suf-
frage in this state, Is the opinion
of many politicians here. Repre-
sentative Wright of Stewart ceun-
ty wants to prevent women and
girls from riding astride horses
and has introduced measure to
that effect which he hopes viii
become law.
The bill provides:
st shall be unlawful for any
female over IL years of age to ride
astrfde a horse, mule, ass or othel
animal OF both sexes, without re
gard to alterations which may bs
made by any artificial means, upor
any public street, road, highwa!
or other public place within thu
state of Georgia; provided nothing
in this act shall be construed tt
prohibit the riding astride by fe
male circus performers of horses
or other animals within a show
ground enclosure or under a cir
Gus tent"
Wright is a physician and b,
says the bill has the support o
doctors of the state, who CLAIM
1t is injurious for women to rid
astride. Violation of the act is t

onment.

SLABS FLY; LOSES
THREE FINGERS
