Stock Market to

itor in Reno yesterday. While in the

Speaking OF the mining outlook i'll
the southern part OF the state Mr..
Nardaman said: while market
quotations for mining stocks is not
very active and prices have shown
a tendency toward a slight decline,
the undertone is firm and the de-
mar | from eastern investors is fair
ly strong. This is indicative OF a
broa der market for mining stocks in
the near future and higher prices may
be expected.
Il am optomistic concerning the
early revival OF prosperity in Nevada,
especially in the mining camps. The
advance in the price Of silver already
has begun to attract capital from the
east and Inquiries for desirable min
ing properties and stocks are being
received daily and | believe the new
