CarSOniteS Are
Hustling Stock

Since word came in that there has
been a strike made in Rescue Eula
stock AT Tonopah,. there has been a
hustle for stock certificates in this
city, where lot of the original Res
cue was held. The stock went out
in this city AT IS cents a share.
1t with other companies went to
practically nothing. Finally there was
a consolidation with the Eula prop
city and an assessment levied. The
question that conironts many is do
they still own any interest in the
Rescue it they have not paid the
assessment. When the stock wa
sold II was put out as a non-ass ssa
BILE proposition. There is lot OF
guessing while the karsonites are
digging up their stock certificates.

Big 1'imberS
For the Mill

The first car OF Oregon pine lum
Der for the new Mexican mill being
constructed north of the Union hoist
ing works at. the northend, was re
ceived last night and teams started
today hauling the same to the mill
site. This is the first shipment to
be received OF building material for
the new mill, but ii is probable that
the material will arrive regularly from
now on. The force OF men at the
mill is being added to steadily. and
the work is now IN full stride. Rap
i'll progress has been made this week
and the preliminary work is now well
along, SO that actual construction will
not be delayed when all the lumber
etc, is on hand-C hronicle.

Buying Water
For the State

During the past week the State
has been purchasing water from the
Virginia pipe line. This is the long
est period in years that the state has
been able to maintain its own water
service without assistance from the
Virginia City line The fact that the
Capitol and the Orphans Home as
well as the Governors Mansion use
this supply, makes heavy drain on
the reservoir and the small flow that
the state owns. -.
1t is believed that it will only be
necessary for the state to purchase
water for one month, as by the end
of September there is always a storm
which refills the reservoir and adds
to the stream that supplies the state
institutions The Home has raised
considerable amount of hay as well
as good vegetable garden this sum
mer. 1t has taken a lot of water but
it has always been on hand when
asked for. A smaller amount OF wa
ter is being turned in from the tanks
than at any time in many years.

Ore Strike
In Rescue

IONOPAH, Sept. 8.-One of the
most important strikes made in this
camp IN recent years was made
known today when it was announced
that body OF ore six feet in width
had been opened up on the 800 foot
level Of the Rescue mining prop
erty. The ore assays from $40 to
500 per$ ton and is considered as
about the richest ledge to be tapped
in this district with the exception Of
the big Belmont ledge.
When the strike was made public
a scramble was made for shares of
the stock and reports from the San
Francisco Stock Exchange state that
10000 shares changed hands. Yester-
days closing quotations priced Res
cue Eula at q cents, but today's
sales were recorded as high as 81
cents, an increase Of 10 cents.
The vein has been opened but for
six feet and each round of holes
shows the ore body to be larger.
There is every reason to believe that
the VEINS one OF a series that pap
alleled the huge veins opened up by
the Belmont and should this prove
true, Tonopah will witness an ex-
citement that will exceed the activity
OF the old days.
