Ore Shipments
from Pioche Dist

Ore shipments from the Phoebe
District for the fortnight preceding
July 7th were still negligible. The
Bristol Silver Mines company still
continues to be the principal shipper
of the district forwarding over 500
tons Of $40 ore to the United Stotes
Shelters plant at Midvale, Utah.
The Nevada Silver Horn Mining
company, operating in the new Sill
verhorn District, has commenced
hauling in test car of silicious sill

gress Of development work, it being
the policy Of the. company to leave
all developed ore in place for future

Phoebe celebrated the Glorious
Fourth in old time style and every

At dawn the guns doomed on Pitt

RAIL WORKERS VOTE
TO DECIDE STAND
ON WAGE CUT

Chicago, July g. Preparations
for a referendum that amounts vir-
tually to a strike of the 100000
railway employees of the country,
were being made today. The refer
endum will decide the attitude of the
workers toward wage reductions,
that became effective July /. 1t must
be completed by September l.
Taking of the referendum was de-
cided upon by leaders Of the rail-
way employees organization at a con-
ference here. In announcing the
plan, the union chiefs declared they
could not assume responsibility for
wage reductions"
Possibility of a settlement of the
controversy before the referendum is
completed, however, is seen in the
announcement Of the union leaders
that conference will be sought with
the officials Of the railroads. II such
, conferences are held and a compro-
mise proposition results, these agree.

ers for their approval.

that the chief object of the confer
ence is to place the railway officiall
on record as to their attitude TOWARD

NEVADA METAL
OUTPUT LARGER
From Salt Lake Tribune:

From Salt Lake Tribune:
Mines of Nevada increased their
output Of silver nearly one million
ounces during the year 1920, as
compared with the production for
1919. During 1919 the silver out
put of Nevada, as computed by the
United States geological survey,
amounting to 6,S63,5S0 ounces. Ac-
cording to the advance figures of v.
c. Heikes of the survey, production
of silver during 1920 amounted to
ouncs.
The increase in the bondage of
Yead produced was even more re.
.aarkable, 1920's output exceeding
hat Of 1919 by nearly so per cent.
lead was shipped, as compared with
.5,349,370 pounds during 1919. The
explanation Of this increase lies in
} improved price prevailing for the
gray metal, as compared with the
price for 1919. During 1920 an av-
erage price of cents prevailed, as
compared with price Of 5.3 cents
the year preceding. The average
price of silver for the year 1920
$1.09-was cents lower than that
Of the price of SLIP for 1919.
During 1920 the number of pro-
ucers increased from 421 to ATS
and the tonnage Of ore from $751;
S31 to 3,4S0,620. The production Of
gold, however, declined from 219,-
S95.2 ounces for 1919 to 172,540.46
ounces for 1920. This decrease was
no doubt due to lessened buying
power Of the dollar, coupled with
/ tn increased cost Of production.
Production OF copper fell off to .
total Of 50,55s,76s pounds, from
52,331,175 for 1919. Output Of re-
coverable zinc was 10,6sS,04O

S|[vERHORN STOCKS
ACTIVE IN THE
EAST
BY FRANK ]. MCGUIRE

(Author of THE Man on The Curb'o
New York, July mo ceremony
marked the passing of the Broad
Street Curb Market this week-the
most picturesque of American fnap
cial institutions. 1t may be here re
lated that the Curb died standing up
in its tracks only to be born anew
under the roof of its own two and
one-half million dollar enclosure in
Trinity Place, seen from Broadway
through the iron pickets of the old
Trinity Graveyard, looking down
Wall Street.
On the stroke of noon on Saturday
the traders on the Curb sho1ted their
parting anthem and speeded away.
From the window of the brokers' Of
fees where the clerks used to talk
sign-language with one hand, scrib-
BILE orders with a second, and ham
die telephone with third, signs
of life had passed. A line of taxi
cabs had moved up and takep
stand in the middle of the street,
and only the board whre securities
had to b posted five Gays bfore their
listing on the Exchange remained as
evidence that there had ever been a
ID where for years mining and oil
stocks and securities of Western in
dustries were bought and sold in the
open.
Concerning future trading on the
Broad Street Curb the prospect looms
nicely for fine clash of interest.
For just as the Curb Market Associa-
ton got under it's roof the outlaws
(brokers who did not join the new
association organized the Curb
Stock and Bond Market of New York
and now continue trading in the
more active mining stocks, particu-
larly the Nevadas and Utahs, which
seemingly are more inviting to pub
lis taste. And favorable reports
from Silverhorn make stocks like
Dale and Peer and Horn especially
popular.
The Mccormick Brothers-JohI
L. and Edward Rare presiden
and chairman respectively of the nev
association and Boston Tom" Cool
and Harry l.. Casey are the. chief ex
ecutives of the Broad Street Curb.
II fight should develop over al
outside market in Broad Street
Secretary Casey will project a libeI
ty movement into the issue and rails
the cry for "the only free market i
New York" with host of tradition
to uphold him. Moreover, if seriou
attempt shall be made to wrest froI
the old Curb fort it's functions a
the stronghold Of free trading, tn
new body will issue it's own quota
tions as the only ones actually mad
on the Curb, and the Trinity PlaC
reformers may make the best of ths
situation. At any rate, both bodit
will deal in the same securities, an
the outcome will be watched wit
keen curiosity by everybody interes
ed in Curb business.

the levying Of freight rates admitted
ly higher than the traffic would or
could bear.
Again the Phoebe District feels
that the sixty days that have elapsed
since the last hearing have not been
fair reasonable period to allow Of
the naturalization Of the assurances
made at the hearing held on April
18th, and further that these assur-
ances are nearer fruition and do

Sampling Of the porphyry In the

ted before long to be again market

Salt Lake Shelters are now almost
normal. The Phoebe District, pos
sessing as it does such a variety of
ores is fortunate, as the increased
marketing of solocious ores necessi-
