CARSONITES BUSY NOW
HUSTIING THE STOCK

Since word came in that there
has been strike made in Rescue
Eula stock at Tonopah, there has
been a hustle for stock certificates
in this city, where a lot of the
original Rescue was held. The stock
went out in this city at % cents
share.
1t with other companies went to
practically nothing. Finally there
was a consolidation with the Eula
property and an assessment levied.
The question that confronts many
is, do they still own any interest
in the Rescue, if they have not paid
the assessment? When the stock
was sold it was put out as a nom
assessable proposition. There is a
lot of guessing while the Carsonites
are digging up their stock certifi-

MAMMOTH co.
IS ENJOINED
COURT PUTS STOP TO FURTHER
EXTRACTION OF HIGH
GRADE ORE.

As has been expected ever since
the high-grade ore was struck in
the Mammoth National mine at Ma
tional and shipments sent out, an
injunction has been secured by the
National Mines company restrain
ing the Mammoth National from
further operations in that part of
the latter mine from which the
rich ore has been coming.
The information that the injunc-
ton had been granted came in a
telegram received here recently
by superintendent Baxter of the
Mammoth National.
Both the National Mines com
pany and the Mammoth National
claim the apex of the bonanza vein
which has made such a wonderful
production in the last two years
for the former company and from
which it is believed the latter COM
pany has been extracting high-grade
since the recent strike
The Mammoth National now hav-
ing. been enjoined the litigation be-
tween the two companies promises
to develop into one of the biggest
mining suits in the history of the
state of Nevada.
Some time ago the Mammoth Ma
tional brought suit in the federal
court at Carson against the Ma
tional Mines company for $4,000, 900
damages, to recover the value of
Gre alleged to have been unlaw-
fully extracted by the latter COM
pany. Surveys were ordered of that
part of the two properties in dis
pute and were completed about two
months ago, since which time there
have been no further proceedings
in the case until this latest in
junction. There have been rumors
of proposed consolidation of the
two companies as means of set
Ting the litigation, but nothing
has been accomplished in the way
of effecting a compromise - Hum

GOOD SHOWING MADE.

The reports from the Comstock
mines last week gave cause for
continued confidence in the local
situation, for there were many fa-
vorable features that will not be
overlooked. The improvement not
ed in the bottom of the joint Union
and Sierra Nevada winze is the
most pronounced since the work
was started and proves that this
far northeasterly country is high
ly mineralized. An ore develop
ment in that locality would have a
wonderfully electrifying effect. The
24O0 level of the Ohpir is also
holding out great promise. Virginia

CAVE TO

route from Salt Lake to Ely Leah
mans cave is one of the wrld's
greatest wnders, being spken by
many as a rival in interest and
beauty to the Mammoth cave in Ken

modations were provided at the
cave by Mr.. Leahman for the travel
ing public and sightseers, who came
from far and wide.
Registers were kept during those
years and while the cave was A
great distance from any railroad and
autos were unknown, it is estimated
that 1000 people visited he cave.
The cave Las never been fully ex-
plored, but visitors can wander for
hours il its recesses without realiz-
ing the passing OF time, As a pow
er plant S Ie'rs erected il. the
it would be possible
to illuminate the cave with electri-
city at a small cost and again open
it to tourists, which would be q
drawing card to the national
tourists, and would assist in attract
ing them to the Ely root from

man of enterprise and no doubt
will provide accommodations for
the public at the cave if the auto
travel can be made of sufficient inn
portance to justify him in the ex-
pense Ely Record.

FREIGHT TO TONOPAH AND
G0LDFIELD LOWERED ON
SEPTEMBER 20.

On September 20, reductions in
freight rates on various classes OF
freight between Reno, Goldfeld and
Tonopah, averaging 40 per cent,
viii become effective pursuant to
an order entered by the railroad
commission of Nevada dated Sep.
TENDER 2.
The opinion and1 order of the
commission, written by Commits
sioner Shaughnessy has just been
received and sustains the conten-
lions of the Reno merchants who
petitioned for the reduction in every
particular.
The case is that CT the Nevada
Hardware & Supply company, Lo-
gan-Langeyin company, w. l..
Mitchell company, Flanagan Ware
house company and Reno Brewing
company against the Southern Paci-
flee company and Tonopah & Gold
field Railroad company, and on the
result Of the order will depend an
enlargement f the volume of trade
enjoyed by Reno in the southern
country. The first order Of reduc-
ton was made on June IA, but by
extensions of time and an applica-
ton for rehearing the final order
was postponed until September 2
last.
The usual objections to the or
der were made, including the con-
tention that it proposed to inter-
fere with interstate rates, that the
freight rates proposed would be
noncompensatory and that the pro-
posed reduction would be made in
violation of federal injunction
made some time ago.
Commissioner Shaughnessy, in a
clear and able opinion, disposed
Of all these contentious and fig
uratiyely left the company not a
leg to stand on. BY statistics he
showed the proposed reduction
would leave the rates amply com
pensatory, insuring at least Z per
cent annual dividends lie showed
that Judge Farringtons injunction
would not apply here and he show
ed that interstate reductions could
not be construed as an interior
ence with interstate rates. Another
contention benevolently made by the
company, that Reno was given un-
due preference over other cities,
was likewise disposed of.
In this case the citizens of Fal-
Ion, laboring under a misconception
Of the condition, interviewed as
against Reno, but when it was eX-
planned that commodity rates from
Fallon on grain shipments south
would be better than the class rates
for Reno, the petition was with
drawn subject to the right to pc
tition direct and not in opposition
to the petition of the Reno mer-
chants.
Under the rates effective Septem-
Der 20, the following class rates

CONDITION OF POPE
 EXTREMELY GRAVE
DeSnite Feeling of Optimism. Physicians Insist on
 Precautions

ROME, Aug. 12.-The feeling of extreme pessimism that has pre- vailed with the masses until Thurs day concerning the health of Pope Plus has now given wayA- to one of great optimism. While the inl- provement has been steady. it also has been slow and the temperature Of the patient still remains slightly above normal.
 The violence Of the pains in his gouty leg has decreased but the leg is still troublesome at intervals and while the swelling affected the member less than during the early part of the week it is still of such proportions as to prevent normal use of the limb.
 Above all. however, the weakness of the pOnrin and depression that has fallen upon him is far from having been overcome and in the opinion of physicians this remains the greatest drawback to his ulti- mate recovery. If all goes well, doctors say, and if the weather re- mains cool, two weeks must elapse before the pontiff enters the pe- riod of convalescence. If there be return of excessive heat serious fears are entertained for a relapse.
 Their orders are that the patient must remain in his chamber practi- oally upon his bed: that he be per uitted now and then 10 sit in his arm chair because of his desire to relieve the restlessness which Is caused by the pontiff's being com pelled to lie for hours in one posi- tion.
 During the afternoon the pope had A long conversation with Cardinal Merry del Val, the papal secretary of state, whom he urged to go to his summer home, saying he was sure he would recover.
