Effect Of the Var Rnmors.

-
New York, Oct. 18.-There were
heavy sales Of gold to-day, principally
to Germans, at 113(a1134, and at one
time 113t was bid, without sales. On
the stock exchange and in the gold
room many prominent failures have
been announced.
The war news created excitement ON
the produce exchange to-day, and about
half u million bushels of wheat were
sold. The export orders and joint ac-
count of purchases in the grain and
provision market are large, and the rise
in gold helps this movement.
The Evening Post, speaking of the
war prospect in its financial column,
says: Looking over the whole situation,
however, it is impossible to come to any
other conclusion than that the war,
even ii it is confined to Russia and Tur-
key-which is hardly among the posi-
bilities-will be all that is needed to
thoroughly awaken the dormant indus
tries of this country and give us a de-
gree of profitable activity in every
branch of business, such rs has no.
been seen for many years.

IVur.


London, Oct. 1S.-The Stock Ex-
change is greatly excited, and it is al
most impossible to give accurate quota
tions. Russian securities have declined
I'd, making the fall nearly 20d within a
week. War between Russia and Tur-
key is considered as already begun, and
it is generally believed that the Powers
will become involved. A commercial
and financial crisis in Russia, and con-
sequent heavy fall in Russian exchange
adds to the confusion. The funded
loan is the only American stock much
dealt in, and it feels the influence Of the
prevailing depression. 1t is now quoted
at 105a@106.
The Daily Telegraph, in a leading
article, says: England, much as she
loves and desires peace, must wage wa
from end to end of the world, rather
than permit the Russian flag to be
hoisted at Constantinople.
Pesth, Oct. fS.-Intelligence from
Vienna states that England considers
all diplomatic action at Constantinople
at an end. This statement has pro-
duced a very gloomy feeling here, and
wal is considered unavoidable. Ad-
vices from Bucharest state that an
agreement has been concluded between
Roumania and Russia for the placing
of Roumanian troops under Russian
officers in case Of war. A correspondent
telegraphs an interview with Ristics,
the Servian Prime Minister, in which
the latter stated that the resumption of
hostilities, in which Russia will partici-
pate, is certain.
Vienna, Oct. 1S.-It is stated that a
contract has been concluded by Rus
STA with Roumania railway companies
by which the latter engage to make
preparation for transporting altogether
$50, 900 troops, at the rate of at least
20. 600 daily.

A HILLS

Pioneer, Oct 81
A Cheyenne company have purchased
twenty O. thirty claims ON upper White
wood, and propose mining this deep
ground with hydraulic machinery.
Their prospects of large yields are
good.
"A Government train sf 160 wagons,
loaded to the guards with provisions,
clothing, etc., arrived at Custer on
Tuesday last. The soldiers, 1000 in
number, are camped three miles east of
that city.
Messrs. SEWERS & Co., sunk q shaft
during the past week within a few feet
of the Pioneer building, and at the
depth of 80 feet struck the s'pay streak''
and got as high as one dollar to the pan.
The owners of this claim assert that
the PIONEER Office rests on a mine of
gold.
The city council has elected Judge
Whitehead to fill the vacancy in the
council caused by Mr.. McCauley's fail
ure to qualify. No better appointment
could have been made. Judge White
head is one of our clearest headed citi-
Gems, and is highly esteemed by all who
know him.
Deadwood generally continues to
yield well, but the ''squaw winter'' now
at hand begins toscare someofthe weak
er vertabraed ones. We are about ON a
line west of st. Paul, Minnesota. The
town is now quieter than ever before;
nobody killed for over three weeks.
This may be attributed to our recent
city organization, OF to the exo-
du sof many of shooters and cutters.
Mr.. Robert Florrman has laid on our
table a chunk of ore from the Florence
lode, in Galena District, Bear Butte.
We pronounce it without doubt the
richest specimen Of argentiferous ore
we have ever seen in the Hills. For a
base it has a brownish quartzite, and is
heavily impregnated with horn silver.
Soft sulphates of silver may been seen
on almost every part of the rock so rich
that six penny-weights shaved off with
a pen-knife, yielded four penny-weights
of pure silver, under a common tin blow
pipe. We are informed that other equal
ly good crevices have been struck recent
ly, and as that section is yet in its in
fancy, we expect glowing reports before
many weeks.
A gentleman of Il city has been at
work for some time to ascertain the
number of quartz lodes in the vicinity
of Deadwcod City, and he finds that
the total number foots up one hundred
and f~orty-one, o being actively
worked. OF this large number there is
not one but prospects we'll, running
from two cents to as high as seventeen
dollars to the pound of quartz. All
this vast body of quartz is located with
in five miles of Deadwood City. In the
neighborhood of Custer there have
been about seventy lodes located and
recorded. There is a large number in
the vicinity of Bear Buttes, and within
the past few days a number of very
fine mines have been discovered in the
neighborhood of Sand creek.
