The alarm of the people is shown in
the weakened stock market. Consuls

nation unite in supplication for his
majesty. From an early hour this
morning there LAS been constant
stream of callers at the palace.
Whitela Reid, the American ambas-
sador, was among the callers. Every
effort is being made to permit the

Mines and Smelter.
Naturally the mines will be the big
factor in the coming development of
the valley. On the Mason Valley and
BlueStope mines alone there have been
blocked out on their present levels up
wards of FIVE million tons of ore.
Within a year the new smelter will be
complete. This means that the mines
will have market for their ores; 1T
means that prospects may be devel.
oped. These facilities for development
will bring employment to hundreds OF
men, in turn making a market for the

that it is located near Wabuska, fifteen
miles from Mason, sufficient distance
away So that its operation will not
interfere with the agricultural inter.
ests of the valley, The snlelter will
have a capacity of 1000 tons day,
and it is figured that when the rail
road is completed that two mines
the Nevada Douglas and the Mason
Valley-which have been the main
ones figured on In connection with the
erection of the smelter, will be able to
supply the required tonnage to keep
the smelter running to capacity. Ad-
ditional units will necessarily have to
be added from time to time in order
to take care of increased tonnages
from other properties.
