MARKETS, MINING AND METALS MINING LIST WERESPOTTEO Supreme court decisions yesterday were likely responsible for the exhi bition of chills and cold feet that the stock market had out in public view. The close looked some better and perhaps the warming pan will help further today. Meantime that glad look is not particularly prominent In the limelight. Boston Ely was one of the local list that helped with the gaiety of the several nations in the camp. It was there with a fine per formance on the strength of recent improvement in the drift. Mason Valley strengthened and closed high er, presumably on the strength of good news from the stockholders' meeting. Giroux closed a little low er, in common with a number of others. Inspiration worked higher during the day and closed strong. Eastern advices inducated expecta tion of better things today. E. \V. Hl'LSE & CO. LETTER. Boston Ely commanded the lion's share of the trader's attention on the local market yesterday, due to the fact that It made several splendid rises before they had settled down to business. The stock reached its highest mark of the day at $4.62*6, exactly $1 advance from the open ing. Encouraging reports from the mine were responsible for the ad vance. Most of the other local Issues again looked “peaked” and maintain ed a dormant attitude during a great er portion of the day. The general trend of the market was also any thing but rosy although there was no real sign of weakness. The big ger ones showed lack of the willing ness to move upward that was so evident at this time last week. It is generally believed that the middle of the week will see a better mar ket, however, and there Is no reason why the bigger ones should not con tinue their upward movement from where they left off after last week's advances. Centennial again com manded its share of attention. The machinery on this property has been hauled to the ground and Is being put Into place with all possible haste. Superintendent Snider states that It will be in working operation within a week or ten days and from then on developments should be more rapid.

ELY INVESTMENT COMPANY ' ELY, NEVADA : MASON VALLEY j MINES HAVE BEST OF LOOK General Manager Arthur Smith of the Townslte Co. returned Sunday , with the W. B. Thompson party from [ Mason, where he was with the party ] during the latter part of its lnspec- , tion of Mason Valley mines. Mr. Smith is more enthusiastic t than ever regarding Mason Valley , property since this last visit. He t states that they have a great mine t opened now and that the develop ment is rapidly adding to the ton- ! nage of excellent grade ore. Regarding conditions in the flood swept area of the Humboldt valley, Mr. Smith states that the Southern Pacific has put its track baelTin good working order. Mile after mile of Western Pacific track in view of the S. P. line, however. Is out of commission, with rails and ties sus pended in the air, the roadbed hav ing been swept from under by the waters. A considerable amount of bridge masonry was also much dam aged. Now that the Southern Pacific has its track open it is proceeding more leisurely with the work of permanent repairs. Trains are operating close to the schedule and losing but little time in crossing the reconstructed portions of the road where the floods did the greatest damage.

A new feture of interest—the ap pearance of considerable gold values in the ore in the lower levels of the Alamo mine at Lucky Boy, is report ed by John Miller, president of the Alamo company, which is systema tically developing the property which was made famous by the Lucky Boy lease producing nearly a million from near the surface. The ores near the surface have carried not enough to figure in the smelting returns, but later shipments have shown steadily increasing values, until the average is $5 and $6 a ton of the yellow metal In addition to the high silver and lead contents. The highest gold values come from the 550-foot level and from the bottom of the shaft, which is down 625 feet. The mine is keeping up its remarkable show ing ore, Mr. Miller says, and de velopment is being pushed. At a depth of about 640 feet a new level will be established and it is expected ; that this will prove to be better than any that has yet been driven. There are two small streaks of very rich ore in the shaft as it is being sunk, , but it is not following the main ore zone which lies about 15 feet back of 1 the shaft, on the foot wall of the vein. A short crosscut will be necessary be fore drifts are started on the propos ed next level. Shipments of the regu lation grade of ore, averaging about |200 a ton, are steadily going to the smelter, but the selected carload is from the richest portion of the big ore bodies, which range from three to more than six feet in width. The proceeds of this car will figure in a nice little dividend that will soon be declared. till, AT INDIAN SPRINGS. I The oil prospects at Indian Springs, according to reports, are to be at last tested. Ira MacFarland of Heldfield has taken the lease of the Indian Springs ranch, which he will use for headquarters for his drilling operations. He is quoted as saying that he will have a drilling rig on the ground In ten days and will be gin the long delayed exploration of that section with the least possible delay. Mr. McFarlond is an oil ex pert of considerable reputation and is confident that he will open up val uable oil fields near Indian Springs. His success would be a wonderful advantage to all southern Nevada since cheap fuel would give an Im petus to mining such as nothing else would bring. Mr. Ma. Farland’s operations will be watched with in terest. It is stated that a most peculiar action of the ice at Washoe lake has been noticed. The ice in freezing caused a wave of sand to move up from the bottom of the lake, and this n its movement was of such force hat trees on the shore of the lake vere moved bodily in an upright po dtion some four feet, and hereafter vill grow four feet further from the ihore of the lake than where the rees sprang into life.—Carson News.
