NOW
Selling over

RAPID ADVANCE STARTS BE-
FORE NEW YEARS AND
STILL CONTINUES

Belmont stock appears to be the
Iavorite in the San Francisco mar
ket and also on the Philadelphia
and New York stock exchanges. Ac-
eording to newspaper reports from
the east stockholders are disposing
OF Tonopah Mining for the purpose
OF purchasing Belmont, which ac-
counts for the big rise in the stock.
towards the last of December Bel
mont was selling along at $4.60 bid.
Dut on Friday, the 30th, when an
adjournment was taken over until
Tuesday the demands for the secur-
lty brought the price up to $5 bid
and sales were reported at that fig
ure. Yesterday sales were reported
on the San Francisco stock exchange
at 1920, although the stock closed
at $5.12R bid, $5.15 asked. This
is the first time that Belmont ever
sold as high as $5, and it is evil
dent that the top price has not yet
peen reached. Should the present
advance continue it will soon be
crowding Tonopah Mining for the
highest priced stock in the Tonopah
district, and there is no reason why
1t should not continue to soar for
some time to come.

SACKING ORE
FROM RICH SEAM
IN The BELMONT
STREAK CARRIES EXCEPTION
ALLY HIGH VALUES AND is
SENT TO SMELTER

For several days past rumors
have been afloat to the effect that
a bunch of miners were discharged
at the Belmont mine for high-grad-
ing, but an inquiry from the mine
officials was met with a prompt de-
NAL The rumOr was probably
started when it became known that
the mine officials were sacking ore
from seam that is estimated to
average about $4,000 to the ton.
The seam, which is in the big ledge
on the 1100foot level, is of excep-
tional richness and the ore extract
ed is sent to the smelters for treat
ment. The work of sacking has
been going on for some time and
the shipments carry the general av-
erage of the ore quite high.

MATCH BIG IOWAN DECIDES
TO QUIT
BY Associated Press

OMAHA, Jan. 4-Frank Gotch,
champion wrestler of the world,
last night turned the honor over to
Yousiff Mahmout and announced he
would back Mahmout against Hack
enschmidt for $4,000, a part of
which was posted last night.
Farmer Burns stated that the
champion is relinquishing the mat
because his fiancee is opposed to his
continuation at the game. Burns
stated that the recent challenge to
Hackenschmidt was made in good
faith, but that the objections of the
young lady led Gotch to reconsider
the challenge, for which he had no
apology to make.
Last night the Russian worked
an hour in an attempt to throw
Westergard twice, but failed to Sc
cure one fall. The big Dane won
the match.

ACCESSORY IN
RHYOLITE ROBBERY
IS Held over
"RAINBOW" HICKMAN IS BOUND
OVER TO APPEAR BEFORE
GRAND JURY

AT the preliminary hearing OF
Rainbow" Hickman, charged as an
accessory before the fact of the
hold-up at Rhyolite several days
ago, and for which crime two
youths, Douthitt and Deal, are now
awaiting hearing before the grand
jury, Judge Atkinson bound the de-
1endant over to also appear before
the next grand jury, which will be
convened in few weeks by Judge
Averill.
According to the testimony before
the justice court, it was proven
that the two youths, after holding
up the group of poker players. i'm
mediately went to the resort in
Rhyolite conducted by Hickman.
An overcoat, mask and hat worn by
one of the robbers, were found in
the rear of Hickman's place, while
a hat containing the spoils of the
hold-up was found under the rear
steps. Both the youths were found
in Hickman's place.
The boys stated after being
brought to Tonopah that Hickman
mad encouraged them to hold up
the poker game, although this con-
fession will not hold when the trial
comes.
Mary Dunnigan, who was with
one of the youths at the time of
the arrest, testified at Hickman's
nearing and was placed under $4OO
bonds to appear as a witness when
summoned.

FREIGHT RATES
ARE FIFTY PER
CENT LOWER
REDUCTIONS IN RATES FROM
EASTERN TO NEVADA
"a POINTS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4-Im-
mense reductions in freight rates
have been made by the railroads
operating in the Rocky Mountain
and Pacific regions, in accordance
with orders from the interstate
commerce commission. Efforts were
made to secure injunctions from the
courts to restrain the commission
from putting into effect it's order,
but they failed.
In every case the reductions af-
feet class rates.
In what is known as the Sacra-
mento back-haul case, the first-class
rate is reduced from 1929 to S5
cents, and proportionately on other
classes to Reno. East of that
point, the rate is fixed at $1.15
and east of Elko, New, to and in,
Guiding Cecil Junction, Utah, it is
made $1.54.
BY the terms of the tariffs filed,
the rate from San Francisco to the
points named is made lower than
was ordered by the commission, the
rate to Reno, for instance, being
fixed at 81 cents a hundred on first
class freight, instead of $146. In
the Phoenix, Ariz., case, the charges
on west bound freight in classes are
reduced from all points in the east
to 20 per cent
In the famous Reno case, the re-
ductions amount in some cases to
more than SO per cent. The old
rate from Denver, Colo, to Reno,
was $4.29 on first-class freight. By
the new tariff it is made $2.10.
The old rate to New York was
$4.29 and now is $3.50. Rates
from intermediate points are pro-
portionately lower.
The railroads filed the tariffs put
ting into effect the new rates on
January 2, 1917 and they must re-
main SO for at least two years.

OUTLAWS CREATE
GREAT FUROR
BY Associated Press.

LONDON, Jan. 4-After a days
reflection and sober thought, the
opinion of London appears to be
that the marshalling of a great
force of the military and police to
destroy a little nest of outlaws, was
a mistake. 1t now appears that
only two men held the tenement
against several hundred police, two
and a half companies of the SCOTS
guards, and detachment of horse
artillery with two machine guns and
one gatling gun. Only two bodies
were found.

CASE BEFORE TAFT
GOVERNOR WRITES a
LETTER TO PRESIDENT
Acting on Suggestion of Nations Chief
Executive, Thoroughly Outlines
Needs of Irrigation Project i'm West
End of Umat lla County.

Salem. Ore, Oct. Ex-Governor
West yesterday forwarded a letter to
Pres. Taft following up his recent
conference with the president on the
west extension of the Umatilla recla-
nation project, at which time the
president promised 20 give the sub
iect his personal attention if the gov
ernor would write to him concerning
il.
The governor in his letter calls at
tention to this promise and outlines
the benefits to be conferred on east
ern Oregon by the project. The plan
involves the reclamation of $4,000
acres of land by the diversion of the
waters of the Umatilla river and Will
low creek. The reclamation service
has thoroughly investigated the sub
ject and is believed to have made a
favorable recommendation. although
nothing has been officially given out.
The surveys are complete the water
rights existing have been settled, and
it appears that an executive order is
all that remains TO put the work I'M
der way. Governor West calls atten-
ton to injustice to Oregon in that this
state has contributed more to the
reclamation fund in proportion than
any other state, and has received less
