G. q. NJ, Detroit-We can give no sat
;ss,ctorv reason for the break in Daisy
Tor tho mine looks better than at any
other time in its history, shipping aDou'
$1,000 worth of ore per day. 1t was
said at the time that Daisy broke TO
about IS, only 10 days or so ago, that
w f. Mitchell was unloading a large
bioek of stock; that he had been caught
!, the cog wheels of Wall street and
,vas forced 10 sacrifice his Daisy stock.
He Is an officer of the company. lie
denies that he was sluffing stock. Mr..
Mitchell is quoted as saying that neither
he nor his associates in the manage
ment of the Daisy are worried about
stock quotations. In our opinion, II
Daisy is permitted to take its natural
course. it will sell higher in a short
time.
L. G. M, Salt Lake-The Vulture
Mining company at Wonder did not lose
its ground, but had a mighty narrow
escape. An employee obtained judgment
for several months wages as Waterman
of the property, and the company al
lowed the suit to 60 SO far that the
ground was sold to satisfy the judgment
rhe plaintiff was in possession of the
property for several months, having
purchased the ground under the execu'
ton, and the time for redemption by
the company had elapsed within one
day. when an attorney from Goldfield
Charles j. Parks, arrived in Wonder
and paid the amount of the judgment
and costs, amounting to $l,ll3.
F. j. c., Waupum-The property OF
which you ask is a fairly good prospect
but better opportunities are plentiful
for investing at the same price pei
share. (2) Little Florence lease on the
Combination Fraction is being worked
by a large force numbering 20 men OF
more. The money is being furnished
by insiders as a loan to the company
Fraction has plenty of good ore and
the chance is good for the Little Flor
nee lease. There is plenty of time left
for the lease to take out a large
amount, but the company is getting in
to debt pretty heavily in the mean
time.

INVESTORS ARE SHOWING SHORT SIGHT

~ NE Of the singular facts connected with the mining industry in Nevada
is that at the present time, when the state is producing more gold,
~ silver, lead and copper than I'VE before in its history, Nevada mining
stocks are at their lowest ebb. This, too, when more big" money is being
spent in development of properties throughout the state than yer before.
All We the state big interests are taking hold, after thorough inspection
of properties, and these interests are efecting consultations, and planning II
actually engaged in most extensive development work. All over the state new
mills are going p, railroads are being built, power plants developed, and this
without any noise and pother.
In the light of these developments it is very evident that in the very near
future Nevada stocks are going to climb and that the investor who is holding
off now, waiting for some ne else to lead, is going % wake up after thu
stocks have taken their first big jump, and thus loset the first and greatest
benefits Of the rhe. The law regulating the issuance of mining stocks and
providing for absolute publicity of all mining operations, and receipts and
expenditures of mining companies; thus afording full understanding between
stockholders and operators, and providing felons' stripes Tor violations of the
law, affords he investor a safeguard of which he should not be slow to vail
himself.
Very seldom does the investor have a opportunity to pick up mining
stocks al their lowest point and when production is astounding both in volume
the majority of the investors throughout the country will be regarding with
sorrow the neglected opportunity of the spring of 1908.
Not alone 10 stocks in III old and developed camps offer tempting In
ducemens which if accepted now will mean money to investors ut there
ire a number of nw camps, among which W may mention Pioneer and Haw-
thorne, and the Gold Mountain and Hornilver districts which are file with
once.

NEVADA WILL HAVE NO
MINERAL SHOW AT SEATTLE
Stockton Mail.)

Though the state of Nevada claims
with considerable justification, to BE-
the leading mineral producer of the
country, it will have no mineral exhibit
at the Seattle exposition.
1t appears that a lot of narrow
minded political junk men knocked out
the bill providing an appropriation fol
the proposed exhibit, though on what
grounds nobody seems to know. Ne
vada, having become one of the
worlds greatest gold producers, fol
lowing a long inactivity of mining, ow.
ing to the demonetization of silver
ought to take every opportunity to adj
vertise itself.
The placing of a mineral exhibit at
the Alaska-Yukon exposition this wear
weuld nave been a great thing for
the so-ealled silver state, but the pin.
heads appear to have been in control
OF the legislature when the bill for the
necessary appropriation was proposed.
When people from all over the world,
VINO nave been readins about Nevada 8
wonderful output of gold during the
past few years, hunt for the mineral
EXHIBIT from that state at the EXPOSE
ton and don't find it, they will quite
naturally reach the conclusion that Ne
vada's mineral is mostly low grade and
mighty scarce at that. And it will
serve Nevada right.

AL. D. MYERS WIFE
SUES FOR DIVORCE

Al d. Myers, the Goldfeld mining
millionaire, is defendant in the suit for
divorce, brought by his wife, Matte
NJ. Myers, in the superior court of Los
Angeles. Mrs. Myers asks for a di-
voree decree and a division of the prop
erty. There are no children.
Mrs. Myers is frank in saying that it
is the cruelty of her husband which has
forced her into the action for divorce,
and that it has been impossible for her
to live with him ~peaceably and con
tentedly. She says his attitude toward
her is the result of jealousy. Myers in,

which perhaps might justify his al

All Myers. who made his money in
Combination Fraction, being one of the
original owners of the property, has re
sided in Los Angeles for the last two
and one-half years, having gone to that
city with his wife early in 1907, but

ever since. With a p~alatial residence
at Long Beach, which is popularity sup
posed to have gold hinges, door-knobs
and banisters, the couple could not live
happily together.
Myers is at present interested in
johnnie, where he has a valuable prop
erty. He is also interested in mining
throughout the state.

 Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 3.--Nine men were in the jury box when Judge Hart called court to order today in the trial Of Colonel Duncan Cooper, Robin Cooper and John Sharp, for the mur- der of former Senaton Edward D. Car mack. Over one-half of the fourth venire of five hundred men is exhaust ed
 The early proceedings of the day were marked by frequent clashes be- tween attorneys, Judge Hart adminis-' tering some severe rebukes and exer- cising all of his diplomacy to prevent an outbreak of physical violence whichl several times threatened. With the: exhaustion of the present venire theI question of the competency of Juror| WhIteworth will be taken up.
 Court Clerk Haley said today thatj all of the names in the jury box wilIl likely be exhausted with the drawinE of the next venire. Judge Hart will; then draft jury districts from the poIl-l ing book, the belief prevailing thatI when this is done the jury can be corn-i pleted within a day.
 Attorneys for the defense at & con- ference today decided that all their clients shall take the stand in their-l own behalf.

CONTRACT TO MAKE
 JOCKEY OF A BOY
Suit Brought Against Fla nous Horse Man of North Stamford.

One of the StrangeSt suits brought in
 this city has to deal with the failure of a horseman to carry out his con- tract to make a jockey of a young man and teach him "skilfully and care
 fully everything knowable about pi- loting race horse to victory on the track. The plaintiff in this unusual action is John c. Broedlin, S59 Strat- ford avenue, who brings suit as guard ian for his minor son, George l.. Broedlin who had an ambition to be jockey.
 The facts alleged in the plaintiffs brief are that on March IA, 1906, Geo. l.. BrOedl1n, then 15 years old was regularly apprenticed to John Hynes, the famous horseman who has a rac- ing stable at North Stamford. Hynes has been very successful as a train CT. He has handled some of the most noted runners and is much sought for by owners of big stables. It is alleg- ed that the papers of indenture pro- vided that Hynes should carefully and skillfully instruct the young man in the training, exercising and riding of horses" for three years and that the young mans remuneration should be $10 per month the first year, s15 per month the second year and $20 per month the third year. 1t was also agreen that Broed1in should receive his board and medical treatment. HyneS was to have an option on the services of the young man for two years after the indenture ceased, at the rate of $25 per month. Broedlin came to his home in this city Christmas and was taken sick here. It is alleged that Hynes took this opportunity to dis charge him. Broedln claims dam ages for board, medical treatment and wages from Dec. 31 till the end of the contract in March, and asks for $100.
 The decline of the racing game in New York is ascribed as the real rea- son for the discharge of Broedlin There is little demand for jockeys at present and the market is overstocked Otherwise Broedlin would have sued for a much larger amount. The case is returnable before February "A. Attorneys Shapiro & Shapiro appear for the plaintiff in this novel conten- ton. It is claimed that the defense will be that the contract was impos- sible for no one could contract to make a jockey out of boy, as jockeys are born not made.

 Hartford. Feb. 3.-Favorable action by the Connecticut legislature on the petition of John l.. Billiard of Meriden to be allowed to incorporate the Bill lard Company.

New Haven & Hartford.
 Billiard recently bought up 10000 shares. the controlling interest of the Boston x Maine. It has never been denied that the purchase was made by one friendly to the New Haven whose attempted merger of the B. & M is being assailed by the Massachusetts courts. It is now said that the forma- tion of the Billiard Company gives the owners of the Boston & Maine abso- lute independence of Massachusetts would not be subject to such str.ct antf-merger laws and sentiment
 It is now stated that should the measure pass Billiard could trans Ter his personal holdings. amounting to the ownership of the B. & M.. to whoso- ever he pleased unhindered. It is sig nificant that on the same day as this measure was introduced. Senate Lead CT Searles introduced resolution di- recting the joint Judiciary committee to inquire into whether Massachusetts was violating Connecticut's preroga- tivers by demanding information of the New Haven company regarding the merger transactions.
