The San Francisco Stock Exchange
cannot stand the fierce pace set by
the people of Southern Nevada in buy
ing Divide stocks and has called a
halt. Down at the bay they have been
working to 8 and 4 o'clock in the
morning trying to catch up with bust

that a dormitory be established in
connection with the exchange for the
accommodation of brokers and their
employees who could not find time to
go home and get a few hours sleep
before resuming business on the
morrow.

gong. This is the only time that the
San Francisco brokers have been car
ried off their feet by a rush. 1t Is

This is going to be the psychology

movement the world has ever wit
messed, so big things may be expect

J.. L. Joseph, president OF the
Grimes Divide, who has just com

Mines Company, said:

be able to walk on Main street for
the crowds that will be here. | know
they are coming, and this means all
of citizens who want to see
what a real live mining boom looks
like. The enthusiasm of investors
may be gagged from the fact that the

was organized to take over the Ba-
