NEVADA-DOUGLAS is

In a communication to Nevada -Dousla

the former is the better stock TO retair
He points out that the stock has mar

change OF the respective stocks, Nj

was 10 put Nevada Douglas and the
Nevada Copper Belt corporation be
yond the pale Of criticism due TO the
growing tendency to divorce railroad
and mining companies. However, we
believe that the deal vas one In the
interest OF the Nevada Douglas stock

an interest in the railroad OF not.
In the organization of the Nevada

one-half interest 5000 sfa RESI- l.: the

railroad is now upon substantial
basis and Its bonds are considered

Nevada Douglas company.
In eHCha n2inS ooUv SllareS oil TaAroad

seen from this that the Nevada

railroad company, has made good

road company. Besides IL is largely
relieved OF any responsibilitT FOR the
railroad bonds: the earnings OF the
railroad are constantly increasing. and
Il will be amply able TO take care OF
its own bonds.
The railroad company is still in the
hands of men who are very largely in
terested In the Nevada Douglas com
pany. There is no probability OF The
railroad company taking advantage
of the Nevada Douglas company by
exacting extortionate freight rates.
We might also add that even II the
management Of the railroad company
were disposed to charge exorbitant
freight rates, they would be prevented
from doing so by the Nevada state
railroad commission and the interstate
commerce commission.

NEVADA OPAL.S ARE
OF GOOD QUALITY

Mention has been made Of the opal
deposits of Virgin valley, Humboldt coun-
~, New, in the chapter on precious
stones In several Of the annual reports
on the mineral resources Of the United
States, published by the United States
geological survey The quality Of the
opals was thus described in the report
for 1912:
The best gem opal from this region is
unexcclled in variety and brilhance OF
fire and color by that from other locali
ties. The cut gems exhibit wonderful
flashes OF green, blue. yellow and red OF
various shades. In some the color Is uni
form over the whole stone or over large
areas. changing as the gem Is turned from
green to red or from red to blue. and so
on. Some Of tho gems show rich ultra
marine blue In one position with green or
red In another. Many gems display va
rious bright colors arranged In patches
and each patch changes color as the stone
ls turned. The brilliant flashes of pea
cock flea tllcr coors obtained from the
opal of dark color yields a gem which
might be called black opal, but most Of 1t
is not like the Australian gem of that
the colors are less localized. The major
ity OF the dark -colored gems, no matter
how beautiful in reflected light, become
"a rich reddish brown color in transmitted
light, Lighter colored opal with good
color and fire Is also found and cuts into
very beautiful gems.
The locality was visited by Douglas r

10. 20 and 21 1913, for the purpose of
mineral resources for 1913, and for en-

being driven at each 50foot point and
on this level the vein has been opened SC

ing wall on the west end OF the vein
where opened, raise has proceeded for
eighty-siX feet on the dip OF the vein. and
this work has all been in good ore.
A raise also is being driven In the foot
wall side al a point south OF the hanging

continues with both the hanging and foot
wall drifts. All this work is giving good
grade milling ore and has been doing so
ever since the vein was first encoun-

on the 11oo-foot level, a station is being
cut preparatory to crosscutting southeast
