MINING FINE TURQUOISE.
From the Yellow Boy Group in Buck
skin District

Walter Taubert, who has been here for
some DAYS, left this week to return to
his home i'll San Francisco During his
stay he mined about 100 pounds of fine
turquoise from the Yellow Boy group in
the Buckskin district. The quality ol
these stones is said to be unusually
good
Mr.. Taubert was accompanied here by
Douglas B. Sterrett, of Washington, d.
c., who is connected with the L. S.
Geological Survey; c. S. Durand, OF
Peoria H.; and Curtis Upton, of Salt
Lake City. The former was impressed
with the quality of the turquoise in the
Yellow Boy, as well as the geological
formation.
Messrs. Durand and Upton are inter
ested in the property of the Yerington
Mines and Exploration Co. on Mcleod
hill, close to town, and one of the OBJ
jects of the trip was to decide on a loca-
ton for a working shaft for that prop
erty. Mr.. Taubert states that it is prob
able that a hoist will soon be erected
and sinking the shaft continued.

BUSINESS IS BETTER
THAN STOCK PRICES

In recent interview given out in Bos-
ton, Vim. II. Thompson of the firm of
Thompson, Towle & Co. and the Gum
Thompson Company, gave out some
pointed statements as to trade condi-
tons. He said:
From the stock market point of view,
it appears to me that the large security
| holders, and when | say security holders
political situation that might arise, and
as for the buiness situation, conditions
are not nearly so bad as the prices of
stocks paint them.
There is no doubt i'll my mind but
that investors have been having the best
stock and bonds for the past few months,
along, and it is only question of time
when the buying power will increase. The
copper shares particularly look cheap,
but the public evidently has not realized
that prices of many stocks have been cut
in two, two or three times. In my
opinion the copper shares have been
thoroughly liquidated
In regard to copper, the metal, |
feel that the situation will i'll the near
future show improvement So far as |
know, there has been no agreement
among the producers to curtail, but that
there is an understanding along such
lines | feel quite sure. Without doubt
there is a large decrease in the produc-
ton at the mines, which will show i'll
the output of the refineries in the next
month or two. There will undoubtedly
be constant decrease i'll the production
so that it will be no larger, if not less,
than the actual consumption.
The managers of the mining COM
panies consider it to the advantage of
their stockholders, and to consumers as
we'll, not to flood the market with cop
per- and that this policy is being fol-
lowed out will be realized shortly.
The two properties in which Mr.
Thompson is particularly interested are
Mason Valley and Inspiration. In re-
gard to the former he says;
From a crosscut from Wine which
is down 20 from the lowest level, or 400
feet, the Mason Valley has cut vein 20
feet wide, and the heading is still in ore
assaying 42 per cent copper. Ore was
struck last week after driving through
l20 feet of oxidized and 100 feet of bar
rem lime The discovery was very inn
portant one, and we were greatly sur
priced at the width of the rich slopes
which are now being opened. There
are several 40 feet wide, and average 5
per cent copper.
'rhe vein had faplted on the 400 foot
level, and the ground was broken. The
fault was located and we run a crosscut
TO where we thought the lode would be,
and did locate il with the above results.
We will now sink to greater depths
Work is progressing very rapidly
and satisfactorily and we expect to have
the smelter in operation next summer.

A PASSING THOUGHT.
He sits at his desk in the cool of the
sweet summer evening. The breezes
from the distant Sierras fan his fevered
brow as he bends over his work on the
desk before him. Oft he raises his head
and heaves long heart rending sighs,
and gazes dreamily for a moment at the
light of the city across the way. Oh,
for just one hour of sweet unbroken
bliss in which he could forget all care
and know only of the sweet and beauti-
ful things of life.
He loses himself in his thoughts for
some time, when he starts up in his
seat, awakened suddenly from his rev.
erie by voice floating in through the
open window, softly, gently. on the soft
summer breeze. He listens; again that
call. He hears. He siezes his hat and
rushes from the building.
The ride he took that night was re-
membered long afterward The history
of Gilpin's, Paul Reveres and Sheri-
dams rides are forgotten when this ride
is spoken of, and il is spoken of only in
the most hushed whisper

LONDON'S OLD ROMAN WALL

Visitors to London whose tastes lie in the d.
rection OF exploring ancient remains will be graft
fed to learn that the Society of Antiquares has
succeeded in securing the preservation Of n very
fine fragment Of the great Roman wall around
London, which has Just been laid bare. London
letter TO the New York Sun says From time to
time portions OF the great structure the external
wall Of defense built about the city in the fourth
or nth century. have been uncovered in digging
foundations while rebuilding streets houses
These have rarely escaped demolition. The latest
discovery is to be preserved for the benefit of
the public.
1t Is situated near Newgatc street, close to q
new annex Of the general postofice. The frag
ment. which is that Of a great curved bastion
is so feet long. 20 feet high and feet wide. The
present summit lies several feet below the
face Of the ground. The whole Is in n wonderful
state OF preservation.
The material is that known "Kentish rag"
supported by heavy Roman bricks and showing
clearly the characteristic layers or bands Of red
tiles. such as may be seen at Burgh castle. Pc
vensey and Peterborough The interesting relic is
to be built around. SO that 1t will lie In a cave
which may be entered by stairs and inspected by

is well known and much OF 1t undoubtedly re-
mains below the houses to-day. which are largely
