Interested in Banquet.

In banking circles today there was
much talk regarding the banquet OF the
District Bankers Association to be held
tonight at the New Willard.
The great success of the New York
state bond sale is already felt through
out the bond market, according to advices
from New York. Prices Of practically all
bonds have been bid up actively in the
market, and the supply of bonds for sale
has become very limited. Prices of re-
cent new issues. which have been selling
out of line with the general market, adj
vanced sharply. Unsold balances of such
issues in bankers hands are rapidly going
into permanent investment quarters.

NEW ORLEANS.

NEW ORLEANS, January 24.-Disap-
pointing cables caused lower opening
in the local cotton market, first prices
being at loss of 4 to points. The
market stood to points down. Selling
was chiefly from liquidating longs who
were unfavorably impressed by yester-
days ginsing statistics and were evening
up over the week end.
A feature Of interest in the early trad
ing was the clearance Of 1900 bales for
Japan from the Pacific coast. Bulls
called attention to the fact that in the
local port there were 10000 bales Of cot
ton on shipboard awaiting export against
only 10000 q year ago. Half an hour
after the opening prices were one point
under yesterdays close.

ing that the rains of the past few days
have been extremely beneficial, because
they have put the soil in the best of
condition for blowing. The bringing of

moved into prominence the complaints
Of poor seed for planting purposes that
are coming in from nearly all of the
states in the western belt.
Accounts from Texas called the sit
uation in this respect serious. Buying
based on this, on predictions of con,
tinued large mill takings and reports of
a strong tone in the spot markets put
prices 6 to s points over yesterdays
last quotations.
The close was at net gain of four
to seven points.
Futures closed steady at a net ad-
vance Of to Z points.

Initial Losses Extended.
Speculative selling for both accounts
depressed stocks today. Initial losses
were extended by increased profit-taking
sales when it became apparent that the
advance had been checked definitely.
Washington reports that important de-
velopments in the Mexican situation were
expected soon accelerated the selling
movement.
Weakness of Reading was due in a
measure to reports that Lake Shore was
selling its holdings of the stock. Expert
1neuts on the short side were successful
in uncovering stop-loss orders and many
stocks weakened to the extent of a point
or more.
Investment shares moved in contrast
with the remainder of the list and in
some instances large gains were made.
Bonds were irregular.
Marked Improvement This Week.
There was a marked improvement in
feeling in the financial district this week,
to which the stock market responded
with a strong upward movement. The
volume of business increased largely. OF
especial significance was the amount of
investment buying of bonds and high
grade stocks, which reached proportions
greater than at any previous time within
many months.
The change in the securities market re-
1ected distinct betterment in funda-
mental conditions. President Wilson's
message to Congress regarding antitrust
Legislation relieved the market of uncer-
tainty as to the attitude of the admins
tration, and the tone Of the message was
regarded as encouraging.
Improvement in monetary conditions
was shown by the accumulation of funds
at this center, lower rates for money and
reduction in discount rates of foreign
banks. The change for the better in the
investment market was indicated by the
striking success of New York states SOL
10000 issue Of AZ per cent bonds and
their subsequent rapid resale by the sue
cessful bidders.
Sentiment was more hopeful in regard
TO the outlook for business. While in
many lines no marked improvement was
discernible, there were changes for the
better in some cases. From the steel and
copper trades came optimistic reports.

DEFIES SHERIFF INGALLS,

In definance of Sheriff ingalls,,
whom he promised two weeks ago,
prior to his departure, to desist from
his inflammatory street speaking
here, Organizer McGucken of the In
dustrial Workers of the World re-
turned to Goldfield yesterday from
Tonopah and last night gave vent to
highly anarchistic remarks.
In the course of his remarks Nc
Quicken made it clear that he and
his ilk intend to endeavor to foment
industrial strife in Goldfield. He
said that he would remain in Gold
field only a short time upon his
present visit, but would return
again, bringing with him more of
his kind. He declared that the
mines and railroads belong to the
workers and urged them to take
them.

P|OCHE MINES ARE
CONTINUING OUTPUT

The fact that the government has
come to the relief of the metal pro-
ducers and will purchase silver at
So cents per ounce has cleared the
situation as far as the mines are con-
cerned pending the European war,
says the Phoebe RECORD.
In Phoebe the Prince Consolidated
and Amalgamated Phoebe are main
tanning their usual shipments of ore,
and with the exception of the leases.
practically all of which are closed,
the local mines are not affected by
the d~emoralizing influences of the
war.
The action taken by the govern
ment will doubtless reflect in the
~leasers gaining new hope and induce
them to start up again. The belief is
rapidly gaining ground that all the
metals will soon be quoted much
higher and that the entire country
will be on the high road to pros
perity.
The Amalgamated Phoebe Mines E.
Shelters corporation, which laid off
a portion of it's working force, last
week, has received orders from the
New York office of the company to
put the men back to work and to
push development and mining oper-
ations with more vigor than ever.
This means that work is to be start
ed again OF the 400 level and that
tho nrnccnrf 70 Tho hf~ D1oa11 1AI~n
will be run through without delay.
During the past week the man
agement has been pumping water to
the surface, but reports that there
has been no p%erceptible decrease in
the volume of water ,.ntained in the
1900 winze has induced Superintend-
ent Van Wagenen to adopt other
tactics and a portion Of the water
will be delivered to the 1900 Ray
mond & Ely drift.
Extraordinary precautions will
be taken in the operations to be're-
sumed On the 400 by driving drill
holes ahead of the men, as well as
into the roof and sides in the drift
being run towards the Black ledge
winze. With the absence of maps
and other reliable data, it is a mat
ter of considerable speculation as
to the exact point in which a con-
tact will be made with the winze and
releasing the water now stored
therein. The safety of the men is a
point not to be disregarded by the
management.
Having been notified that settle
ment will be made for ore shipped
upon a basis of SO cents per ounce
for the silver content, the shipment
of the mines product will not be re-
tarded. Returns from the car of
lead ore from the 400 were highly
gratifying in fact much better than
was anticipated.

LARGE PLATINUM NUGGETS

Three interesting platinum mug
gets of remarkable size passed into
the possession of . large platinum
refiner at Hanau. These nuggets, or
''samorodki," as they are called in
Russia, are great rarities, and were
found in the river sand of the Iss,
nea Ni~shne-Tagil. in the Ural noun
tains. They have a total weight of
17.122 ky. or $50 o.. the individual
weights being 1852. 4.775 and
1855 ky. They are valued at about
$4,000. The large nugget was
found about 25 and the two smaller
ones about 20 years ago. Since that
time no further pieces of such size
have been discovered.
The largest single lump of plati-
mum ore that has ever been found
was discovered about 100 years ago
in the same vicinity. and Is still to
be seen. as the rarest natural curl
osity of its kind, in the Demidor
Museum. ST. Petersburg. The larg-
est of the three nuggets referred to
is, therefore, the second largest that
has come to light so far. The mug
gets contain S6.5 per cent Of pure
platinum. about 8 per cent iridium
and small quantities of other metals.
1t may be thought that in localities
where such large and heavy Jumps
of pure platinum occur there should
be frequent finds of valuable pieces,
but this is not the a Even piec-
es weighing 20 to so grams are rare

FORMER CONVICT is
IN TROUBLE AGAIN

George Gibson, an ex-cOnvict, twice
sentenced to the ~penitentiary from
Goldfeld, and now out on parole, was
arrested Saturday night on a warrant
charging him with disturbing the
peace, and will have a hearing this
morning before Police Judge Bryson,
after which it is not unlikely that he
may soon be returned to Carson City
to serve the long end of the fourteen
years term now hanging over him on
a charge of assault with intent to
kill, says the Reno Journal.

Parole Is

Because he got drunk and landed
in Jail in Reno recently, the board
of pardons has revoked the parole of
George Gibson, who was released
from the state prison about two years
ago after serving the short end of a
sentence for assault with intent to kill
in Goldfield several years ago. He
will be returned to prison to serve
out his sentence which will expire in
October, 1919. He was originally
sentenced for attacking Miks Gaia
Ian, then deputy sheriff.

HIGH VALUES COMING
FROM LOWER LEVELS

One of the Salt Lake stockholders
in the Seven Troughs Coalition yes
terday received from General Manag-
er L. A. Friedman of the Seven
Troughs Coalition a letter in which
the following appeared in relation to
the present improvement in the phN
steal condition of the mine: =
"Air connection has been made be-
tween the ITO and 1850 north drift
on the ninth level. Things look good
all along the line and the output this
month will no doubt equal last
month, about $4,000. Will make a
shipment of between five and six
thousand dollars tomorrow.
"In the raise near the face of the
north drift on the 1900 we have two
feet of ore on the average 1924. In
the 1900 south drift the vein is now
against the hanging wall, which
goes $4SO.S0. The foorwall streak is
nearly two feet wide and runs
1920. Between these are several
small stringers carrying big values.
The screenings from everything from
this face assayed $50 yesterday.
"The stope above the 1850 is as
saying $243.20; the stope north of
the Bird winze above the 1900 ran
$19S. With the streaks of the high
er values are mixtures which hold
the general average down to about
800. The 1850 south drift assays
pretty we'll. The streak against the
hanging wall there seems to be inn
proving in width and general appear
ances. Everything is going fine

GEORGE \. CORSE
WEEDS MISS ADAMS
WILL TAKE UP RESIDENCE
IN YOKOHAMA

BY the shores of the southern sea,
on the wide veranda of the Rallies
hotel in Singapore, there began two
years ago a romance which reached
its climax in San Francisco yester-
day with the marriage of Miss Fran
ces R. Adams, daughter of former
Governor ]. w. Adams of Nevada, to
George H. Corse, Jr., formerly OF
this city, but now of Yokohama, ia
pan, says the San Francisco Chroni-
Gle The wedding ceremony was per-
formed at noon at the ~Swedenborg-
ian church by Rev. j. s. David In he
presence only of the parents of the
bride.
The bride is one of the wealthiest
h~eiresses of Nevada and met her fu-
ture husband while making a trip
around the world with her parents.
Her family is one of the Oldest in the
Sagebrush state, as her father came
to Nevada in 1864.
From Singapore the charming
young lady and Corse met each other
frequently, as the Adams family and
Corse we're making practically the
same trip. Through Burmah, ION
the road to Mandalay," Rangoon,
Ceylon and the cities of India the
party went, and the acquaintance be-
gun in the great hotel overlooking
the green of the cricket grounds in
Singapore ripened into friendship
and then love.
Corse has been connected with the
the Pacific Mail company for many
years and is now Oriental represen-
tative Of that company and of the
Southern Pacific, Union Pacific, Chi
cago & Northwestern, Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul and Santa Fe
systems. His territory extends from
Vladivostok in the north to India,
and includes Japan, China. the Phil
ippines, Straits Settlements, Burmah
and India.
After a honeymoon in the Yellow
stone and Yosemite the couple will
sail for the Orient Sept. 26 on the
Manchuria and will make their home
in Yokohama.
