Drill Hole Is Abandoned After

The drill hole in the Ely Central
cOmpany'S Eureka shaft, after having
developer twenty-five feet of ore of
the same character as the best ship
ping product of the Nevada COnsOli-
dated cOmpany'S steah shovel pit, was
abandoned at The depth of 4S7 feet
from the surface, and work is now
being centered in sending the 400-fOOt
shaft down To the ore body,

Mines and Mining Stocks
SUCCESS MINE IN
BONANZA VALUES
Three Feet of $500 Carbonate
and Streak of S840 GaIena
Reported.

The strike recently made in the east
drift on the 200-foOt level of the Sue
cess mine. in Duck Creek district. is
assuming bonanza proportions, accord
ing to information received from the
mine by Manager d. c. Mcdonald, at
Ely. In the bottom of the drift and
in the Wine which is being sunk from
II are eight inches and sixteen inches
of gaiena ore which is said to show
values of 1850 ounces in silver, $500
In gold and y per cent lead. with
three feet of carbonate ore which runs
40 ounces in silver, $21.SO in gold and
o2.5 per cent lead. Both samples as
saved are said to represent close aver
ages of the two kinds of ore. The
galena ore values figure about SS4O
ton, while the carbonate ore values
run close to 500 ton.
That the apex of a large shoot of
Immensely rich ore has been encOun-
tered is the belief of the manage
ment.
On account of the heavy inflow of
water, work in the Wine has been
stopped and a drift has been started
on the 300 level, to which depth the
shaft was sunk some time ago. That
drift in getting under the new ore
shoot will drain the entire country,
The water at this time is held back
from the shaft by a shale belt. When
that is cut. the water will find its
way to the shaft, for which big
pump is on the ground, ready to be
installed as soon as ii is needed.

To facilitate the placing of the prop

over the Scott Mines company. The new
company is capitalized for 10000 shares,
par value so a share. The stock is di-
vided into 10, 900 preferred and 5000 COM
mon shares. The old company was in
cOrpOrated for 100000 shares, par 81.
1t is proposed to absorb the Scott Mines
company by exchanging stock of the new
company for the stock of the old at the
ratio of forty shares Of Scott Mines and

TECOMA MINES IN
RICH GALENA ORE
Tunnel Headed for Old Work
ingS Encounters New
Ore Body.

Three feet Of galena ore which aver
ages $50 a ton in silver, lead and gold
have been encountered in a raise from
the new tunnel in the property of the
Tecoma Mines company. at Tecoma, New,
is the report brought from the mine
yesterday by W. II. Harmon, who is di-
reCting the work.
Control of the old company was taken
over a short time ago by Salt Lake and
Idaho capitalists and work was started
by the new management only two weeks
ago.
The tunnel in which the strike has Just
been made is being driven to get under
the old Star shaft. from which d great
deal of rich ore was taken by former
owners, prior to the saving of the big
stOpe The tunnel is in $50 feet, with
about 100 feet further to be driven to
reach a point approximately leo feet be
low the bottom of the Star shaft. 1t is
the intention to connect with the old shaft
by raising from the tunnel.
The lead which has been encountered
evidently nearly parallels the ore channel
opened up by the old workings and il
adds not a little to the assured value of
the property. Drifts are being run both
ways while the tunnel is advanced.
In the Iron Mask property, of which
Mr. Harmon is also in charge, he has
cross-cut Is feet of iron ore which car
rIes some silver and lead values

SMALL BUYS HELP
EASTERN MARKET
Odd Lot Houses Do Heavy
Business When Big Stocks
Decline.

Strength of fundamental conditions
is indicated by the unusually large
business which, since stocks began 10
show heavy declines. has been trans
acted by odd lot" brokerage houses
of Wall street. One such house re-
ported last week the heaviest business
II had had i'm a year. At every fresh
decline of two points new buying or
deTs were met. and there is no doubt
shat the multitude of small orders had
much to do with arresting the SUNNI
Before the latest drop many firms had
on their books orders for stocks In
small lots at anywhere from one TO
five points under the market.
The prepOnderance of transactions in
odd lots for two weeks or more has
been on the buying side. Although
many have bought only one and two
shares of such stocks as Steel, Atchl-
son, the PacifiCs and the big copers
the average purchase has been above
ten shares.
The steady buying of good stocks
in this way is to many an evidence Of
the confidence in conditions generally.
A large number of people have been
unsettled by the reaction, but an
equally large number have taken II as
an adVanta geOUS opportunity of get
ting securities on a low level.
Odd lots are bought all the time, but
receSsiOns bring out a lot Of people
looking for bargains.
