New York, August 13.-(Special) "A nervous market, declining some 23 points on rumors of further showers in Texas, to rally on estimates of increased con sumption from England. These estimates show such small stocks of cotton in spin ners' hands as to bear out the belief that the consumption has been underes- timated this season. This idea is borne out by the large spinners' takings at this time of the year at high prices. Many are going so far as to believe that the con- sumption this season. not next, even with the strike in England. will reach 13.0o000o

A new Mill

AUSTIN, March 24-J. o. Kinney,
who has important mining interests
at lone, returned Thursday from
Denver, where he has been for few
weeks making purchases of mining
and milling machinery.
He went on to lone Friday morn
ing to begin the preparations for the
erection of necessary buildings.
The equipment purchased consists
of two 25-horsepower gasoline en-
gines for use at the mill and in hoist
ing ore. Machinery for mill of so
ton daily capacity was also purchas-
ed. All of this will be shipped and
installed at lone as soon as the neces-
sary buildings are completed. The
type of mill is described as one en-
ploying crusher and rolls. All the
machinery was purchased of Morse
Brothers of Denver, and contracts
were made for the completion of the
milling plant with ninety days. A
force of men has been put to work
grading at lone for the mill site.

JIM MEIGHAN IN CALIFORNIA.

The Tuolumne Prospector, publish
ed at Groveland, California, has the
following to say of one of Tonopah's
citizens:
James M. Meighan for several
years manager of the Mt. Jefferson
mine at this place, arrived on the hill
Wednesday evening, after an absence
of several years in Nevada. He stop
ped at Priests hotel that night and on
the next day came to Big Oak Flat
and Groveland. At both places he
was surrounded with friends all
anxious to shake his hand and well
come him back among us. All agreed
that Jim" is looking as young and
fit as ever and all expressed hope
that he had come back to stay.
Mr. Meighan has been operating in
the gold fields of Nevada, where his
opinion carries great weight with
mining men and investors. He is
here on matter of private business,
but all hope that this means a min
ing deal which will keep him in our
midst.
We can but repeat what we said
over year ago, Come back, Jim
and we'll treat you decent"

". ]. STOCK
CONFIRMS REPORT
OF RICH PLACER
RETURNS FROM MANHATTAN
WITH SEVERAL NUGGETS
FROM CLEANUP.

w. j. Stock, who came in last
night from the Manhattan placer dig
gings, say that the district is wild
over the recent cleanup of DRY
Wash" Wilson, who received return
of seventy ounces of gold from eighty
cubic yards of earth.
When the result was made known
everybody in Manhattan Immediately
visited the placer lease" said Mr..
Stock last night. Il think there will
be many more such clean-ups from
the different leases when the weather
moderates and the snow leaves the
ground. The cold weather has made
it difficult to run the sluices and only
the properties equipped with pumps
can do so. In the spring there is 60
ing to be one of the greatest rushes
ever recorded in southern Nevada to
the placer field, for at that time the
properties which have been placing
their dirt on the dumps, will start
sluicing and the results will be start
ling.
"a number of sales of leases have
been made during the past few days.
many of the buyers being outside par
ties who have been attracted to Man
haitian by the reports sent out. Dry
Wash Wilson has secured several
options on adjoining claims and will
endeavor to work the properties on
a large scale"
Mr.. Stock brought in several mug
gets from the big cleanup and also
has nearly an ounce of gold, the re-
suit of one panning he made from the
Wilson property.

SPINELESS CACTUS
Wild IN MEXICO

W. L. Wolfe, Los Angeles mining
man who has returned from Mexico,
says he saw quantities of spineless
cactus growing wild in the Sierra
Madre mountains and valleys of west
ern Chihuahua.
On a ranch at which he stopped a
large area on which spineless cactus
was growing had been fenced in to
protect the plants from being eaten
by cattle.
CONNECTIONS and other edibles priz-
ed by the natives are made from the
tender leaves. The plant bears a
large luscious fruit which the Next
can housewives convert into jam and
other sweets.
Cattle eat the plants as they
would alfalfa" says Mr.. Wolfe, land
thrive upon it. Naturally they re-
tard the growth of the cactus in large
quantities, but much of it is to be
seen growing without cultivation in
places that are inaccessible to cattle.
Anyone can have as much of it as he
wishes for the taking"
Mr.. Wolfe brought a number of the
leaves of the plant ito Los Angeles
and has then set out in the garden
of his residence.

the big hostelries-the profits of
many of which are enormous. The
company operating the Auditorium

considered very modest profit The

MILLION POUNDS OF
COPPER PER WEEK
Rapid Increase in Output from Steptoe
Valley Plant Which Will Cut Close
to 100000 Pounds for March.

This month will see the largest
total production of blister copper
from the Steptoe plant that has been
attempted" said prominent mining
man yesterday, who had just re-
turned from visit to McGill. Il was
all over the works and everywhere
there is the utmost activity, both in
the already completed sections of the
plant and on the new unit that is to
be ready for ore reduction about the
first of July. The steel workers have
completed their portion of the build
ing and taken their departure for
other scenes and now large force of
wood working mechanics swarm the
site and are making rapid progress
with that part of the work Three re-
verberatories are kept going all the
time to supply matte for the convert
ors, of which there are also three
that have been kept running contin-
uously for some time, in fact, ever
since the third reverberatory was
blown in"
"A large stock of the finished pro-
duce containing the concentrated val
ues of many thousand tons of ore was
piled up in the shipping room and I
was told that one day last week the
amount on hand ready for shipment
amounted to over one million pounds
and all cast there in less than week.

From this it is estimated that the
amount turned out for the present
month will approach close to the five
million pound mark or at the rate of
100000 pounds year. That is go
ing some, it is true, for place where
sage brush was the principal crop two
years ago, but it is only starter and
one must make personal visit to the

tions can be appreciated.
Work on the addition to the con-
centrator foundations are now COM
plete for the steel structure. New
molds have been installed in the cast
ing department which make heavier
casting than the ones that have been
in use heretofore The new molds
have the initials of the plant on them
which mark the castings IS. "" The
letters are not SO deep as on the orig
inal molds as those were found to
hold the casting to the mold so tight
that it was with difficulty they were
pried off. AS they entailed a loss of
time as well as an additional expense,
the letters were cut from the molds
last fall, giving rise to the rumoTs
