T|LDEN 0USTED FROM TENNIS CUP TEAM
ELECTRIC RATES ASSURED FUTURE
BEING ADJUSTED FOR WAHMONIE

Referring TO the complaint and
petition for a readjustment Of the
rates for electric current of the
Consolidated Power and Telephone
Company as published in the Age
of July IL, representatives of the
company state that the matter
OF read djustment of rates had al
ready been taken up by Mr. Law
son, manager, with the Public
Service Commission, prior to the
filing Of this complaint
Mr.. Lawson, because of the ILL
ness Of his daughter, was unable
to follow the matter up promptly
but expects to do so as soon as
he returns from California.
IL is explained In behalf of the
company that in the cases where
the application of the new rates
was found to work an injustice,
Il was the desire of the company
to make such changes as are
reasonable.
It Is also contended by the COM
pany that the new schedule is
unsatisfactory to but a small pro-
portion of its users coming within
certain classifications, and that on
the whole thenew schedule presents
a very substantial reduction in
charges to consumers over the old
rates.

BUOL CINNABAR
ON PRODUCTION

Recent investments in cinnabar
properties encircling Tonopah are
shaping rapidly for an era of
production that will elevate Ne

the quicksilver industry.
Peter Buol, president of the B

was started late Thursday night
and on Friday was functioning
without a hitch.
Twenty men are employed and
every detail of the operation is
running as smoothly as a sewing
machine. The property was taken
over by the Buol interests July 30,
1927, and seven months we're oc-
cupied in developing and four to
installing the monster plant that
amazes all beholders who have oc-
casion to motor over the Serpen-
tine trail leading to the camp over
which the machinery and equip
ment had to be transported.
The furnace was taken in in
two sections measuring % and %
feet respectively and the kiln
with shell and trunnions weighed
$4,000 pounds went over the same
road.
Quicksilver in flaSkS will be
shipped from Mount Montgomery

Before the furnace was installed
streaks of high grade ore were
treated in D retorts and a number
of flasks of quicksilver were ship

With the opening of a vein es-
timated variously from six to
eight and one-half feet of ore
showing silver sulphides and free
gold on the 150-foot level of the
Wingfield shaft at Wahmonie, as
first published in the Age Of July
Ia. the future of that camp is
by those best acquainted
with the district to be assured.
The crosscut was extended about
Is feet southerly from the shaft
in the belief that the vein would
be exposed at about 25 feet. At
Is feet the round of shots broke
into the vein and the next round
exposed six feet or more of silver
sulphides carrying free gold.
That the strike is of the utmost
importance is indicated by the
fact that the engineers in charge
of property soon after the strike
closed it to the public and re-
fused 10 permit samples to be
taken from the dump.
Some work is going on in other
properties In addition 70 the 20
men working three shifts in the
Wingfield shaft, there are about
twenty more doing some work in
various parts Of the district. II
is anticipated that there will be
a very substantial influx of oper-
ators and investors as soon as the
cooler weather comes on.
Up to the present time attention
has been centered on the work
at the Wingfield property. This
has produced such convincing re-
suits that large numbers of the
other properties now feel justified
in beginning development work.

LOST ON DESERT
RIGHT IN CITY

Bewildered and lost "on the
desert" right in Las Vegas was
the plight in which w. D. Rogers
driving one car, aid his compan-
ion, Lewis Munson, who was fol-
lowing in another car found them
selves, last night according to
Deputy Sheriff McCubrey.
Rogers had travelled through
Vegas before and was quite sure
he was familiar with the road, so
he volunteered to act as guide.
But things look diffenrent at
night, although Rogers attributes
his bewilderment to the marve-
lous growth of the city. At any
rate he in some way got started
on the Tonopah road. then, fear
ing he was wrong, became involved
in the maze of streets on West
Side. And he couldn't find Mum
son.
Rogers finally got back to We
gas and told his troubles to
McCubrey. The deputy got Rogers
safely pointed onto the right road
to Salt Lake City and then set
forth to search for MunSon, find
ing him lost in the mazes of West
Side into which he had tried to
follow his leader.
Munson was also started for
Salt Lake and it is supposed that
the two have finally been re-
united after their thrilling ex-
perience OF being lost in the wilds
of Las Vegas.

In the Stock Market
CBy Thomson g. McKinnonl


NEW YORK, May 7.-Week-end
reports on general business situa-
ton indicate a more satisfactory
condition than at any other period
this year. Production and consunp-
ton are being maintained at high
rate. Employment is gaining ex-
cept in a few isolated cases and
credit is sufficient to accommodate
commercial needs, Europe is still
building and one country after an
other is returning to gold basis. At
the same time the American spirit
of speculation has invaded the
bourSes of London, Paris and else
where. On the exchange traders
give every proof that they still re-
gard the price trend to be upward.
Last week the motor issues held the
center of the stage, while this week
it may swing to the rubbers or rails
or sugars, which industry, by the
way, is showing every indication of
better times. The I. G. G. state
ment that the O'Fallon hearing will
be postponed until the end of the
year may mean that new plan for
valuation of railroads will be found.
One more reserve bank has in
creased its discount rate, proving
that the reserve board has not
changed its recognized position re-
garding the stock market. Hence it
behooveS traders not to overstay
their markets.
