IS PICKING UP
Low PRICED STOCKS

Eastern market letters sent out from
New York, say that "certain interests,
through brokers in this city, have been
extensively but quietly buying up all
the low priced Goldfeld stocks that
they can secure"
No intimation is given as to the per
sonnet of the "certain interests but
this action may in a way account for
the strength that has. been shown of
late by the lower priced stocks.
The activity of leasers and holding
companies in the improved zone of the
Goldfeid district is liable at any time
to cause some of the outside properties
to break into the proved" class, and
this will not only send up the stock of
the companies that own the ground up

&. LOCKHARI
NOW OIL Miner

Thomas G. Lockhart has gone to the
McKittrick oil fields in California,
where he recently purchased so acres
of land, with the intention of develop
ing oil if there is any oil under his
property.
He has already started one well, and
progress of sinking is going along
steadily. Mr.. Lockbart's purchase is
a mile and a half from any producing
oil property in the MeKittriek district,
but is in the supposed direct trend of
the oil beds, and is reported TO be most
promising ground. People in Goldfeld
and elsewhere who are acquainted with
the Loekhart energy and luck believe
that it will stay with him in his new
venture, and hat he will get "'the
goods" in the oil fields.

AUSTIN. New, Feb. S.-The I'M
watering of the Patriot mine situated
In the northern section of the Austin
mineral AGRA, has disclosed mineral
potentialities that are a surprise to the
operators. The records of the past
work done in this mine were such as to
encourage the present program, but the
most optimistic in the Maricopa Mines
company hardly expected the mine to
show the ore that is in sight in the
old workings above the 640-foot level.
There are numerous places where stop
ing operations can be commenced at
once on ore that will run better than
800 per ton. The old workings have
been Systematically sampled. The 80
samples that were taken to show the
run of the mine, average 1868 ounces in
silver.
The mine belongs to the Austin Man
haitian company, but is under a long
term lease to the Maricopa Mines com
pany which is backed by a coterie OF
Cleveland capitalists. An entire new
outfit of mining machinery has arrived
for this mine and is now in course Of
installation. The main shaft will be
driven a depth of 200 or 300 feet fur
ther, where it is anticipated that the

T;buron Island, in the Gulf of Cali
fornia. which has for many years been
rnmored TO be a land of fabulous min
eral wealth, in search of which a mum.
Der of exploring parties have been lost,
has been explored at last. AS a result
of a trip to the island made by Fayette
A. Jones, a mining geologist of Albu-
querque, N. NJ, and party, the discov-
cry has been made that no superficial
examination of the island shows I'M
mineral, and that there is no danger
from the Seri Indians. In the past, ex-
ploring parties have returned with tales
of cannibal Indians on Tuburon Isle, of
horrible fetes at which roast explorer
was the piece de resistance. Mr.. Johns,
writing for the Mining World, of
Chicago, states that his party %encount-
cred no Indians; that signs indicated
that the Seris, who really live on the
mainland, spend but a few weeks each
year on Tiburon Island, at the time the
turtle season is on; that the Indians,
Judging by the old villages, spend the
time there fishing, and celebrating the
turtle season by dances and feasts. He
claims that the parties that have not
returned have fallen a victim to the
furious tides and currents that sweep
around the island, or nave been scared
by fears of Indians, and never landed
at all; else they nave persisted of thirst
on the mainland before embarking for
the island. Game there was in plenty
on the island, but 40 eannibals, or
precious metals. The famous Grindell
party, he says, did not perish On the
island, but all, with the exception of
one man, persisted of thirst IN the
Sonora desert, en- route to the coast.
Mr.. Jones writes:
"The recent expedition penetrated
the interior of the island and practical
ly covered every portion of the same,
where any mineral would seem likely to
exist. Nothing of value in minerals
was found, and the unanimous verdict
of the party pronounced the island
practically destitute of mineral wealth.
Thus, the supposed golden treasure of
the island is now a shattered dream,
and the spell of enchantment that once
surrounded it has been forever broken
by the "Jones" expedition. The pur-
ported find of pitch-blende by the
Meadows party is not credited, and
what that party doubtless mistook for

Attorney Claude Gellispie of the firm

county commissioners to ask that an
order be made closing streets insofar
as they come within the confines of the
site selected for the t. g. G.. railroad
shops and depot. Pine and Elm and a
small portion of Aluminium and Ken,
dali streets will be the ones affected,

ore body will continue its great tonnage
of high grade rock.
The work of the Austin Manhattan
company on the south side has resulted
in the opening up of two of the largest
lodges ever mined in this camp. On
the Hardy, the vein is over four feet
in width and is improving in values.
On the Jack Pot the vein is five feet
in width. Both of these veins are Of
the north and south series which cuts
the Lander Hill system at right angles.
These finds have stimulated the Austin
Gold Mining company to begin a new
program of development on it's acreage,
which lies Immediately north of the
Jack Pot. This work will be attended
by important disclosures beyond a
doubt.
The Roosevelt lease in a shaft 160
feet in depth shows a 30-inch ledge that
carries 1870 ounces in silver besides a
valuable content in lead and copper.
The work that is being done on the
property of the Austin Nevada Con
solidated Mining company is demon
strating that the pay zone in Austin
persists in a s~outheasterly direction
across the main gulch. The ore runs

After fifteen months absence, exact
ly as scheduled, Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt disembarked from the Kali
serin Auguste Victoria, Saturday morn
ing, June Is, at IL a. M To the keen
disappointment of a large group of
newspaper correspondents, Mr.. Roose-
welt absolutely refused, as heretofore,
to be interviewed or to talk ON politi-
cal subjects. but his rapid fire of Ques-
tons showed the same virile interest
In public affairs as before.
If the welcome rendered by the
vast throng may be considered a
criterion upon which to base a ire
turn from E1ba," surely there was no
discordant note in the immense recep-
uon-parade, nor in the wildly clamor-
GUS crowd which cheered at every
glimpse and hung on his very word.
The incidents of the day in New
York were many, but perhaps none
better illustrated the nervous energy
and vitality of the man, the near-mania
to be up-and-doing, which he has
brought back to us, than the discard
ing OF horses and carriages for the
swifter and more reliable automobiles

immediate party landed, they were
whisked away in White Steamers to
the home of Mrs. Douglas Robinson at
433 Fifth avenue. A little later, when
the procession reached the corner of
Fffty-ninth street and Fifth avenue,
Colonel Roosevelt again showed his
preference for the motor car in gen.
eral and the White cars in particular,
when he, Cornelius Vanderbilt and Col
lector Loeb transferred from their car
rage to White Steamers, which were
in waiting for them.
After luncheon at Mr.. Robinson's
house, the entire party, including
Colonel Roosevelt, again entered White
cars and were driven to Long Island
City, where they were to take a spe-
cial train to the ex-President's home
at Oyster Bay.
The supremacy of the White cars
with the Roosevelt party was again
demonstrated on Sunday, when the
party was driven to church in the
White Steamers, and group of some
forty prominent Rough Riders were
taken in a White Gasoline Truck TO a
clambake at the Travers island club
house of the New York Athletic Club.

Controlled Newspapers.

The Atchison Globe says that no ad-
vertiser nas ever tried to control its ed
ttorial policy, the remark being occa-
stoned by the charge often made nova
days. that the big advertisers direct
the editorial policy of newspapers.
The experience Of the Globe is the
experience of most newspapers. The
merchant who does a great deal of ad-
vertisfng is more interested in the cir
culatfon department of a newspaper
than In the editorial department. If
daily paper goes to the homes of the
people, and is read by them, he is salts
ned. and it may chase after any theory
or fad, for all he cares He has troubles
OF his own. and he isn't trying to shout
der those of the editorial brethren.
There are newspapers controlled by
people outside of the editorial rooms.
and good many Of them, @more's the
pity; but the people exercising that
control are not the business men who
pay their money for advertising space.
The newspapers which are established
for political purposes are often con-
trolled by chronic officeseekers, whose
first concern is their own interests.
There are newspapers controlled by
great corporations, and the voice of
such newspapers is always raised in
protest against any genuine reform.
The average western newspaper usu-r
ally Is controlled by its owner, and he
Is supposed to be in duty bound to make
all sorts Of sacrifices at all sorts Of
times; there are people who consider
1t his duty to insult his advertisers,
Just to show that he is free and indie
pendent. If he shows a decent respect
for his patrons, who pay him their
money. and make 1t possible for him to
carry on the business, he is ''subsi-
died" or controlled" The newspaper
owner is a business man, like the dry
goods man or the grocer. The mer-
chants are expected to have considera-
ton for their customers, and they are
not supposed to be subsidized by the
man who spends five dollars with
them. but the publisher is expected to
demonstrate his courage by showing
that he is ungratefu1 for the patron
