Kspkti si. attention is called to Willard Parker Hatch’s latest poent, published in another column. It is a pathetic piece and when read before a croup of *cii men yesterday there was not a tear less eye in the house. Thu “troldfield Kdition” of the West ern World contains a number of pictures, nit hidin'.: one of Willard I*. Hatch. While the picture is very fair, it does not do full justice to the good boy who edits the column headed *‘<ioldtield Siftings.” No oxk regrets more than the owner that Tiik News was forced to refuse two and one-half pages of advertising offered for this issue. With the completion of the new building which is contracted to lie finished in two weeks, and the addi tions to the plant, we hope to soon meet the demands on our space from adver tisers who get results. The attention of our readers is called to the article on page “The Goldfield Mining District,” by Mr. Charles J. Moore, M. E. To the mining world Mr. Moore needs no introduction, and this article will be read with interest by | every mining man. It is a clear, com prehensive and logical statement of con- j ditions by a conservative mining engi- | neer of high standing and ability, and we earnestly commend it to the thought ful consideration of our readers. Death of W. H. Tripp. William 11. Tripp, age about 45 years, a well known lawyer, died yesterday of pneumonia. Mr. Tripp was a native of New York but for manv years lived in Colorado where he practised law and j actively engaged in mining. At one | time he had many interests in Gilpin county and later on moved to Cripple (.'reek where he was ipiite successful, lie was a man of high character, sterl ing qualities and an able and brilliant attorney. Everything that medical aid and care could do was done, but the dreaded disease had progressed so far that human skill was of no avail. Mr. Tripp was unmarried. His near est relative is a sister, Mrs.- living nf Bakersfield, ( ala. Funeral services | will he held s.t Ladies’ Aid hall at 2 p. TiTTTouay'"under tiie auspices of the liar it'soeiation. The body will he ghinpod tomorrow to Bakersfield for '.nfcrment. A Sad Ending. Bert Williams, a young man about 25 J \ ears of age. formerly of Seattle, met a! tragic death on Tuesday. On Monday j he had a hearing before Justice Bell, be ing charged with grand larceny. It was j claimed that he stole a tent from Lee j < 1 urett anil sold the same to a dealer in second-hand goods. He was hound over l v Justice Bell, and being unable to give bonds Constable Russell was or ■ ! -red to place him in the county jail at Hawthorne. Constable Russell left here on Monday with the prisoner. On Tues day, between Sodaville and Hawthorne the train was flagged and most of the passengers got off to learn the cause of j the stop. Just as the train started and ! was gaining headway Williams threw himself before the moving train. Death was instantaneous. The coroner held in inquest the same night and the jury 'eturi.ed a verdict of deliberate suicide.

An air of uncertainty, with a firm un dertone, has marked the jmst week’s market. There have l>een no pro nounced fluctuations in Goldfield stocks. Tonopahs have ruled strong, with one or two exceptions. Today’s market quo tations indicate that there may proba ble l>e several davs of inactivity. Dur ing the lull, however, it is evident that all offerings of leading securities are ab sorbed, and that the “insiders” are quietly, and without show, adding to their holdings, presaging an approach ing era of very material activity with ad vancing prices. This is unquestionably the way the straws are blowing, and we consider this time very op|s>rtune for purchasing at attractive figures stock in the proved mines of the district. In a mining way, every day’s develop ment but gives added evidence of the greatness of the district. This is true of Goldfield and llullfrog, and none further doubt the great future of the greatest camps ever known. One important feature is the commencement of ojiera tionsattwoof the new milling plants that have recently been completed. The Combination mill and the Goldfield Re duction Company’s plant are both in the market for custom ores, and a much heavier production will result. Unques tionably, this will have a pronounced influence on the market and prove a potent factor in the future movements of stocks. There is only one way to figure the market at present: We are having one of those natural dull spells that are invariably followed by very substantial advances, and our advice is to take ad vantage of every slight decline and pur chase the better class of securities. This l>olicy can result in but one way—big profits will surely be realized, and the widest market fluctuations obtained. Reports from the Red Top are of very utmc. iucj me me ci feet that ttie mine is showing up even l>etter than had been anticipated by the most hopeful of those interested. A substantially improved showing is noted on both the 100 and 150-foot levels. In another week or so everything at the mine will be in ship-shape for the ex traction of ore, and shipments will be sent forward regularly. It will also be but a short time when the vast reserves of milling ore will be drawn upon and ttie output treated at local reduction works. An advance of more than pass im: importance will surely follow. The best informed predict that Ked Top will reach tit) cents within (50 to t»0 days. It is our firm conviction that it is one of the most attractive buys on the list. There have been some unavoidable de lays at the Silver Pick, and as a conse quence, very little activity in the stock has manifested itself. It is noticeable, however, that thi“ stock has shown more firmness daring the recent reac tions than any other stock listed. A fortnight will see much higher prices offered for this security. As forecasted in our last letter there was a reaction in Empire-Goldfield, due ti> profit taking. The stock declined to 17 cents, where it appeares firm. Our firm has sent two men to examine the mine, and they report that the showing there is one of the best they have seen in camp. Tne nroperty now bears ail the earmarks of a big mine, and at pres ent prices Empire is without doubt a big buy. With ever, confidence ;:i the world, we predict that Empire w ill show substantial advances during the next fit) to tin days. To all our clients we sav that we consider this security a splendid buy, and we sincerely hope that many of them will follow our advice in this in stance, as we are so sure that by so <lo they will make handsome profits. It has taken longer than expected to replace the broken parts to the hoist of the Dixie and, as a result, operations at this mine have not been resumed in the shaft. The strength of this stock, how ever, is plainly indicated in the advance of :5 points that is shown by today’squo tations. At San Francisco and locally all offerings are being quietly picked up, and we can see no reason to change our predictions regarding the future of this mine and the stock of this company. We have sent you our special letter relative to the Midas Mining Company, and we trust you have given same your careful consideration. Preparations are under way for the commencement of active development work, and once in operation the Midas will be thoroughly exploited in the belief that a big mine will be developed. One group of the • ' ' I I 1 | 1 1 » Ii7 r-M llliu <1 III V 1' | >1 W.MIlHI t to the recent sensational strike made l>y ■‘January” Jones, one of the luckiest ami most successful ojierators in Gold tield. fhis strike has given added itn jiortance to the western licit of the dis trict, ami should greatly inhance the holdings of the Mitlas company in that locality. The stock is meeting with ready sale, and we beg to state that those who wish to get in on the promo tion Hoot- should not delay in sending in orders. Superintendent Johnson of the Hull frog l’edestal reports that work is pro gressing with most satisfactory results, and that the property is spewing up in splendid shape. The Bullfrog district is making good in every particular, and now gives every promise of becoming second m importance only to Goldfield. The greatest mine in the West—the Shoshone—is but a short distance from the estate of the Pedestal, and there is no reason why the latter should not de velop into a mine of first importance. There are those who predict that the southern district will prove even greater ! than Goldfield, and at the attractive! price at which Pedestal may be pur chased, we certainly believe that it is a j most worthy stock for investment. The new promotions in the Kawich district have been brought to our atten tion. They appeal to us as offering ex ceptional opportunities for the invest ment of small capital. They are the Mammoth Kawich and the Kawich Standard Mining Companies. The for- i mer owns three claims, situated a short distance south of the Gold lteed mine. ; Surface assays show values of front f l'> ] to $4*0 per ton. The latter owns a group 1 ot four claims in the same locality from j w hich surface assays have been secured I that gave returns of from ?$17 to tJohO ( per ton. We can obtain lot your ac count a small block of stock in either company at 5 cents per share, and we j d mi think there is a better buy ;n the i market among the cheaper class of sccu- j t itles. Roth companies have let con- j tract and are at work developing their j holdings. The officers and directorate j of these companies are interested in the January. Itfxie and Red Top mines of, this district, and are men of high stand- j ing in miniug circles of the West. The personnel insures absolute iioiie-ty in the administration of affairs in both com panies ami gives added strength to the promotions. Today’s quotations: Uolpfirld District. Bid.
