Daring Steepleack
Plies Trade in Ely

Mark Jeffs, a steeplejack who
makes his headquarters in Salt Lake.
is stopping In Ely in his professional
capacity and during the last week
painted the two steel stacks at the
Ely Light and Power Company sta
tion. He has done the job before on
the same stacks and expected to paint
the stacks of the Nevada Northern
shops. not learning until after his ar
rival here that the steam plant at the
railway shops was not in use.
Mr.. Jeffs has travelled to all parts
of the country in pursuit OF his work
and has had some nerve-trying ex-
periences. He says that one of the
biggest painting jobs he ever tackled
was 210-foot stack in Los Angeles
While on this contract the rigging OF
the board on which he was sitting
became entangled with a piece OF
loose wire that hung down from the
stack, midway between the base and
the top. and he remained suspended
for sixteen hours before the lines
were free and he was enabled to re-
turn 10 terra firma. He acknowledges
that the work Is dangerous and is not
inclined to do any daredevil stunts
for the purpose OF amusing the pub
lie.
"you don't know what may hap
pen," he said. 1T Is best to be sure
everything is right before going up
One boy went to the top of the stack
without making sure of the guy
wires. A wire on the opposite side
from where he was working broke
and the stack toppled over and car
ried him down with 1t. The life was
crushed out of him. Another time q
chap was on a high stack beside a
railroad track and section of rope
from his seat tackle dropped just as
a switch engine pushing a freight car
came along and caught the rope. The
seat with the man on 1t was shot to
the top OF the stack and was then
pulled loose, man and all falling
That was the end OF him, and all done
In second"

Heavy Movement of
District Livestock

The local scarcity OF hay and Its
present comparatively high price Is
said 10 be the cause for considera-
Bile cattle movement in this part OF
the state. Ranchers with limited
amount OF feed cannot AFFORD to buy

sequently getting rid of their cattle

The strength in marks was ascribeo

as the United States Steel Corporation.

world Among the companies mem
toned as likely TO enter the great COM

cent Of the stock of the Union Oil Of
California. When the report was called
to the attention Of a Pure Oil official

quarters that President Harding in a
message soon after Congress convenes
will recommend a direct subsidy to
American shipping and the abolition of
the Shipping Board. Under such con-
ditions it was logical to assume that
the |. M. NJ. would transfer large
amount of its British tonnage to the
American flag and become to much
larger extent than now an American
corporation operating under govern
ment subsidy. A large part of the

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Sterling rates skyrocketed to the
highest point reached since early in
1919 under the impulse Of heavy buy
ing orders in one of the most excited
foreign exchange markets here since
May, when the first substantial repara-
tions payment was made.
Cable rates on London closed at
$4.07%, net advance of 67s cents, the
gain being attributed principally to de-
velopments in London which precpi-
tated heavy short covering and new
buying in anticipation of further gains.
Prospects of relief for Germany, re-
sulting from the negotiations between
DR.. Rathenau and British financial
leaders, was large factor, and the
impeding international conference in
London to discuss exchange stability
was another.
German marks recovered sharply, as
did virtually all Continental rates ex-
cept those in the East
Far Eastern rates were firmer, but
South American exchanges ruled easy.

Opinions Differ

Apparently some difference of opin-
ion exists in Wall Street as to the in
depreciation of the new Federal tax
law relative to the exemptions allowed
on corporations holdings of Liberty
bonds. The legal departments Of at

tions in the financial district hold
that the law means that interest on all

Stock Exchange Seats Higher

Two memberships on the Stock E.x-

nounced yesterday, brought ss6 900 and
100000. respectively. These prices com
pare with the last previous sale at
$4,000. The advance in the price of
seats is attributed 10 the better tone
of the stock market during the last
few weeks. Rising markets are usually
accompanied by higher values for mem
berships, just as declining markets are
generally synchronous with lessening
of the demand for seats

Invincible Oil

In letter to stockholders of the In

president, states that within the last
three weeks six new wells have been
brought in in the Haynesville, La, field,
with total initial production of 14.S00
barrels. All these wells, Mr.. Ratcliff
says. are holding closely to the initial
production. SO that output in this field
is approximately $4,000 barrels daily.

holders of the per cent serial gold
notes who have not yet deposited their
notes with the protective committee
urging them to make such deposit
and calling attention to the fact that
the time for such deposits has been ex-
tended to December IL, inclusive. It
is pointed out in tha letter that the
bank creditors, constituting 20 per
cent of the total claims, have accepted
the plan and agreement Of reorganiza-
tion without a single exception, and
substantially all of the merchandise
creditors have followed the same
course. Considerably over 80 per cent
Of the S4,00O.0o0 notes outstanding

ent approximately 95 per cent of the
creditors of all classes Of the Moline
