    There has been a slight reaction in prices during the past few weeks, which is accounted for by reason of the holidays and the heavy snows throughout certain parts of Nevada which has largely hampered work as well as isolated outside camps. Telegraph wires have in many instances been down. The present reaction presents an opportunity for investors and we hope a great many of our clients will get in on a few of the good stocks and take advantage of the boom which we believe is sure to follow during the coming month.

Most of the great mines of the Goldfield district have been opened up and developed by leasers and we believe that a great many companies, especially those owning well located property and also having a lease on some one of the known mines, should be bought before development places the price of their stock beyond the reach of the average investor. We mention here a few stocks, the purchase of which we can recommend to our clients.

This company owns outright with perfect title, the Lady Elgin, Lady Elgin No. 2, Dunbee and Matchless Lode Mining Claims. A total of 75 acres in section 11, one mile south from the town of Goldfield. The company also owns a lease on two blocks of ground owned by the Florence Mining Company. This lease is equipped with whim hoist and has its shaft now down to a depth of 135 feet. An 18-inch vein has been encountered in the bottom of the shaft that gives an average value of $12.00, with rich stringers on the hanging wall that runs as high as $130 per ton. The rich sulfides which carries the high values that have made Goldfield famous, may be broken into on any round of shots. High grade ore is being produced from several leases which practically sur-
