THE GREAT NEVADA bonanza" or gil
gantic Il ocket' of silver and gold seems TO
have something the matter with il. The
prices of mining shares in San Francisco,
which recently rose so rapidly, have taken
the downward track. The two favoritcs,
Consolidated Virginia and California -
have receded 20 per cent, whilst the others
have within week declined from 10 to 80
Per cent. Just why this is so is not yet very
plainly evident, but the stock market is too
good a barometer not TO be carefully observed
by prudent investors. The bonanza" eX-
citement has had much in its rise that re-
sembled our petroleum fever of ten or a dozen
years ago, and il is quite probable that il will
resemble that remarkable excitement i'm its
decline. Both have had a solid basis for
legitimate business, but not for wild specu-
latiOn.

the performance which elected the most in
tercst was the one-Quarter mile walk, which
was contested by two young ladies. The
winners time was 2:35. The same young
lady was conspicuous throughout the eXer-

played in everything she undertook. The
ladies were dressed in a tunic, coming a little
below the knees, and confined at the waist
with sash. They generally wore striped
hose and low-heeled shoes

MOVABLE CORPS

THE SUPERVISORS ORGANIZED INTO "a
MOVABLE CORPS"
hen Judge Richardson was i'm charge of
The busincs OF tie Treasury department, Col.
Douglass, Commissioner of Internal Rove
nue., recommended that the supervisors of
internal revenue be organized into n NOV
able corps, To be transferred from one district
To another, whenever, in the Judgment of the
Commissioner, the intcre> Is OI the service de
nanded il. Mr.. Richardson failed to sec the
important results 10 be obtained by such
change, and the matter was dropped, until
very recently, when Col. Douglass explained
his plan To Secretary BrStOw, who seemed
at once To comprehend the benefits likely to
result from its adoption and at once expressed
his approval. Preparations were then com
inerCed TO carry out the suggestions Of the
Commissioner, and as soon as they were
completed the Secretary issued an order
making the following transfer of the corps
OF supervisors: Supervisor Tuition, OF Phila-
dellhia, transferred to st. Louis; Supervisor
Mcdonald. from ST. Louis to PhiladeIphia;
Supervisor Hendrick, of Iowa, TO Chicago;
Supervisor Mum, of Illinois, to New York;
Supervisor Powell, of Ohio and Indiana, to
san Francisco; Supervisor Foulke, OF San
Francisco, to Richmond, Va; Supervisor
Perry, of North Carolina, to Iowa; Super
visor Hawley, of New York To Boston and
supervisor Sewall, Of Boston TO Cincinnati.
supervisor Hunt, who has recently been ap-
pointed TO fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation OF Supervisor Cobb, will be per-
mitted, for the time being, TO supervise his
present district.
The SUPERVISORS transferred as above are
directed TO be at their new headquarters on
the fifteenth instant. To each supervisor
there Will be assigned two special
agents other than those who have hereto
fore served with them. The names OF the
latter have not yet been announced. This
change, ii is claimed, Will secure greater eff
cheney in the service, and greatly promote
the interest of all concerned. In his new field
of duty each supervisor will fiad himself free
from any entangiing alliances of q political
or purely friendly character. The transfers
are not intended to be permanent. and are
likely TO occur several times a year
