New York and Philadelphia OPEN

which came as complete surprise
TO local interests, which assert that
the mine is looking as good as ever
and that there is no reason for the
selling. Ehe physical condition is
unchanged, the values remaining as
strong as ever and the ledge hold
ing its own.
Every source of advice has been
Cleaned by the brokers of Tonopah
and San Francisco. with the result
that all reports agree in stating
there is nothing more than one of
the worst bear movements ever pro-
iected in a mining deal to hammer
Merger stock for the sole purpose
of gaining control.

no reason why he should issue any
statement concerning underground

SHIPMENT FOR
WAR EAGLE MILL
NEARLY READY
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS LEASE AT
MANHATTAN TO HAVE LARGE
MILL RUN

opeCidl W tifc nObaHl"
MANHATTAN, July 31.--A 200
ton milling Is about to be shipped
to the War Eagle mill by the Ken
dall-Douglas lease on the Manhat-
tan Consolidated. The ore is being
broken down and rapidly made
ready.
The bin has a capacity of 80
tons 1t first will be filled and an
other 100 tons stored in the drift
before the teams are ordered. Thus
there will be no trouble in keep
ing the teams and the mill going
so that all of the ore broken down,
whether it be 200 tons or consid-
erably more, can be treated without
pause.
The grade of the ore is very
good indeed. w. ID. Moody. who
Is acting as superintendent. has
taken the most accurate samples
possible and has had close to a
dozen assays run. The lowest was
SIS and the highest $s6, Another
went $S5. with the average OF all
the assays at SAL. The two high
est mentioned were bucket samples.
As this ore invariably has. milled
better than it assayed it is be-
| lieved to be a cinch that 1t will
mill around $50 ton.

spectators who we're too timid to
stay with the game and consequent
ly let go at whatever they could
get Margin traders were the worst
sufferers. for some of them had
staked their last dollar on the up
ward trend of the quotations and
kept on until their resources were
exhausted and then had to see their
holdings sacrificed.
When San Francisco and local
brokers realized how deeply the
east had got into the hole there
was a rush of buying orders that
promptly sent quotations back to
something like the values of the
preceding day. Soon the wires
began sizzling and Merger began
TO climb, passing the dollar mark
and keeping upward until $1.22h
was reached. Then slight reac-
tion ensued and the last reports
gave sl.121s as the closing peg.
With eastern buyers either frozen
out or out of the hole it is pre-
dicted that the next few days will
see a stronger market as it is no
longer the Tonopah OK which is
being gored. The attitude of the
Merger management in standing
pat on first reports is accepted as
the last word in the market and
now It becomes a question Of i'm.
proving the golden opportunity.

bought freely in their home market
expecting to score profits without
investing a dollar through shipping
the stock to Tonopah and the coast
and realizing on the faith of To-
nopah buyers. Their associates
knew of these big blocks of stock
going through the mails and laid
their plans accordingly to catch
the keen ones while the stock was
in transit. The success of their
plot may be better understood by
reference to the quotations since
Sunday when curb trading here and
on the outside began to show a
deeply concerted plan to raid Mer-
ger.
These traders were caught COM
ing and going. When their stock
arrived in Tonopah the break had
occurred and the certificates were
dumped on the market with the eff
feet of adding to the weakness and
precipitating a general slump. That
is all there is to it. Then, OF
course. the various rumors of Inn
pending litigation circulated for a
purpose brought about panicky
condition outside where they knew
nothing personally about the prop-
erty and let go fearful of law
suit which would tie up the mine
indefinitely. This report should
have been scotched by the statement
