Call } Want Ads Brin^ Results Day Contains Large Possibilities in Market for Mining Stocks Action Concerning Dividend for Merger's Share Holders Centers Attention This promises to be an Interesting day in Bush street among 'the .mining stock brokers. Happenings of. great Importance to the market are liable to take place. This is the day set for the return^of the men to the mines of the Goldfleld Consolidated company. No tice has been )sent to. the men of the time limit for returning and this may lead to developments of interest. The eyes of the broken are more upon the dividend, that the Goldfleld Consolidated may declare today and there are all sorts of guesses regarding Its probable size and -the period of re curring: dividends. If the dealers In mining: stocks could answer the ques tions occurring in these connections there would be a clearer understand ing: of what to do on the boards today. A few brokers remained In the > city yesterday and they were found busily conjecturing the best thing to be done In view of a situation that Is as in teresting as any that has arisen since the Goldfield stock sales became such a large local financial factor. Brokers have been taken by surprise In the last 10 days. Some frankly say that they do not understand the drift of events. When the boards closed Saturday nlfht for a rest of two days Goldfleld Con solidated Mines was far below the $7 price. It Is recalled that Baruch contracted to take up 1,000,000 aharea at $7.60 a share before January 1, 1908- He has taken In $1,000,000 In stgck according 1 to the report made by the management of the Goldfleld Consolidated company, but that leaves $6,000,000 and more to be taken Minder option at $7.60, If Baruch; desires. There' are surmises afloat that Baruch 1b taking in sharei now at $1. under the option price. One brokerage house is reported to be In trouble by reason of the deals of the past week, but parties connected with it are confident that it will weather the storm that the decline of Goldfield Consolidated Mines has brought about. IMPROVING JIM BUTLER Tonopah Camp Mine Is Installing Large Compressor Plant TONOPAH. Sept. 2.— A big: _r com pressor is being- installed at the Jim Butler mine camp, and the workers are busy putting the pipes throughout . the mine. In a short time the breaking of ore will be done by machinery and the News and Gossip of Railroad World The colonist rate went into effect yesterday and will be in force until October SI, and from the advices re ceived by the passenger department of the Southern Pacific the numbers that will take advantage of it will far exceed those of last spring:, which broke the record. The rate is as fol lows: From Sioux City, $27; Council Bluffs, $25; Omaha, $25; St. Joseph, $25; Kansas City, $25; Leaven worth, $25; Denver. $25; Houston. $25; St Louis, $30; New Orleans, $30; Peoria, $31; Pittsburgh $41; Memphis, $31.65; Bloomington, $32; St. Paul, $34.85; Chi cago. $33; New York, $60. The Southern Pacific in view of this fact is making preparations to handle an enormous colonist business and additional tourist cars are' being put on all* westbound trains and coaches are being, massed at Ogrden for the accommodation of those who do not use sleepers. The greatest movement will be undoubted ly from the Mississippi valley. The very cold spring, with heavy snow, turn the minds of the farmers of that valley toward California, and a great many settlers are expected from that section of- the country. "Speaking about Joseph H.

J. Small. Before the banquet was over we all felt as if we had known Young all our lives. He was our inti mate friend before we left the hall. Young, by the way, has a good friend In McCartney, who is with the Western Pacific now as assistant to Virgil Bogue. Mac was with the Bait Lake people, and the first thing Mac and his crowd did. when they started to bufld the Salt Lake road was to try to steal about 75 miles of Union Pacific grade.

Warren and C. F. O'Brien decided to kill him on.a bet. Warren, spied the deer and got a good shot,' felling; him. The hunter closed in, dropping his gun, and had Just started to cut the deer's throat when ; the ?mck revived and be gan a furious attack, knocking the knife from the man's hand. Warren, holding the deer's horns, was being frightfully cut by the! buck's sharp hoofs.'. Despite his wounds. War ren maintained his hold on - the .deer's horns and called for^ help.. O'Brien's, dog' heard him and rushed upon the deer from behind.' He. bit and chewed the fighting buck until "-he turned 'from, hunter to dog. . This was Warren's chance and he let", go . the horns and 'crawled into the brush. O'Brien! succeeded in firing a shot through ' the deer's heart and ended ; the nght.

The shafts of the Jim Butler have been put Into first clans , shape and : the company has connected 'its workings with those of the Tonopah mining com pany. Everything x is in; readiness' for. production. .The Jim * Butler; Is \ known to the mining men of the; district as the greatest milling proposition In Ton opah, but so far ; the company, which Is dominated by the Tonopah mining com pany, has made no effort to put tha property on a producing ' and 5 dividend paying basis. , Local* men would not be at all surprised ito have the company announce its' Intention, of putting up an enormous mill to treat Its output. GREAT PLANT IN VIEW Merger Management Summons Bos- qui to Consult Concerning. Mill TONOPAH, .Sept. t:-~j-F. Vl* IBosqul, the metallurgist who* built; the Mon t_na-Tonopah ' mill, has < gone to \u25a0 Gold field at the call of the Goldfleld Consol idated company to . arrange * for the making of teats on .the ores; produce by the company.

The .big company has T! been 'at - work- ,on-.it« milling plans : for some time, .but noth ing of the details will be worked out until .'the metallurgist has completed his work. Bosqul will make . the re quired tests at '• San^ Francisco,; where he will go as coon as he has arranged for the shipment of the 'ore to be used. The great success of the Montana plant has much encouraged promoters on that side of the mining game, and no doubt many similar plants \u25a0 will be planned this fall. Bosqul said that the Con solidated company would avoid the dif ficulty thoughtlessly brought on In the construction of the Combination mill at Goldfleld and would build Ita-'plant out side of the mineral zone, so that plenty of dump room would be available. desert When It oomes to telling stories of the desert McCartney has Wharton James and Lummis faded. Some : say he does not tell the truth, and Young, well, it won't do to tell what Young says of Mac's yarns of the desert" W. A. Blssell, assistant freight traf fic manager of the Santa Fe, was In the city yesterday. Blssell has been spending the summer at his beautiful country home at Lake Tahoe. studying the habits of bees and birds, especially bees. He is one of the prominent mem bers of the Cedar club, con iposed ex clusively of millionaires with summer homes at the .lake.. . The other day. Blssell, with a few other [millionaires, went fishing. The" club has a stream as exclusive as Itself, and access .can only be gained to it; by many days of travel on muleback or palanquin. Palanquins are preferred :by some of the millionaires, but as Blssell is a transportation man he rides a mule. The baggage that goes along, would fill three or four balloon cars, but that is a trifle to the sport they have. Each of the millionaires asserts when he reaches the lake that he caught ; the limit One of the millionaires whispered around that all Bissell caught was a minnow, and that there was not a good jack pot in the lot.
