AS the girl sang she smiled down

a tray of fresh flowers paused by
their table.
Warren shook his head.

perfume from a large atomizer. There

What about your wife, Bob, wher

teaches otherwise.

 Liquidation has started in stocks which go down because their high prices have been based on temporary conditions. This must run through the list until securities sell on q basis of value.

 Railroads hold firm. They are not inflated and they are selling not on what they are earning now, but on what they can earn in normal times. Steel shows resistance to all at tacks.

STRIKE NEW LEDGE
 IN TELLURIDE H0LE|.

A fine ledge has been struck on the 480foot level of the Telluride prop erty near Kingman, the rock from it being so nearly like that of the Big Jim that it is hard to distinguish them apart. It is a purple fluorine and is supposed to carry well.
 The same ledge was cut at the 300 and there it was 16 feet wide. It is not the main ledge that the company is after the other being a 40-foot vein that Long and Melvin are bank ing on to make another United East ern out of the Telluride property.
 There are two large fractures in that part of the country, one being that referred to as the main showing of the camp and giving out such little evidence of its life life as the Tom Reed and United Eastern mines. The Black Eagle and Telluride are on a parallel ledge.
 The present find is just where the cross-cut tapped the ledge, and no drifting has been done. It is down at the water level and the values are commencing to show. It is the idea of the management that 200 feet more of depth would tell a greater story, confined to exploring the strike and 1 seeing that it may amount to on on 1 the 4S0

STUDYM|NE
 NEAR PHOENIX

Along with reports of mining ac tivity in the same section, the news comes that the Sturdy Gold Mining company will begin active operations at an early date.
 This gold property, located IS miles north of Phoenix, has been worked in a quite conservative manner for some time and considerable work has been done, exposing good ore bodies averaging $10 gold to the ton The property adjoins the old Union mine, a property that has been worked for it's gold content, and considerable value has been taken out
 The Stury property is a virgin one and ores were shipped at times to the smelters in order to see if they would check up with the assays as taken at various parts of the property. During the last year the company erected a small reduction test plant on the ground and with this has proven from all the assays made from shelter returns and that se cured from this plant, an average value to the ore of $1O to the ton.
 The company is being backed by strong capitalists of Pittsburg and Philadelphia, Pa. The work outlined ! by it's engineer for the present is mere development, consisting of sink ] ing the main shaft down to the 1,00O- 1 foot level and blocking out each 100 | feet 'on the way down.
 i A 50-horsepower hoist, air compress sor. air drills, pumps and so forth l-have been ordered and are to be de- | livered within 60 days. Due to the l extraordinary demand for mining ma 1 chinery at this time it seems i'm possible to get deliveries when wanted and this will delay the work some what.
 At a meeting of the board of di rectors held recently in Pittsburg. Pa, it was decided to continue the development work for one year and then the ores will be further tested hy the Pittsburg Testing Laboratory in order to determine whether it is advisable to place a 100-ton cyanide plant on the property or an oil flo- tation plant These determinations will be made by capable mining en- gineers from the Hammond Engineer ing office of New York City.
 The work at the property will be in charge of Nathan Sturdy, E.. M., oi the School of Practical Science of Toronto University, Toronto, Can. Mir Sturdy will conduct the work under the orders of the board of di- rectors and the company's consulting engineer.
 It is hoped through the carrying out to a successful issue of these plans, to establish a mine of some worth to Phoenix and the Valley. Ii this should prove the case it vii mean ample financial backing fol MT. Sturdy in any mining property of merit and magnitude.
