The news OF the discharge OF miners
from the Bonanza mines had a marked Ell
feet on the market this morning. There
were large sales Of both stocks at rates
nearly 20 per cent. below Yesterdays. 1t
was apparent that stock was being dumped
on the market from other sources than the
general run of outside holders, but pur-
chasers were plenty at reduced rates, and
sales we're lively. On the street there was
considerable disposition shown to regard
the discharge Of the miners and utterances
of Mr.. Mackay as a part Of a bear move
ment growing out of the contest between
the Flood and Skae factions. Others at
tributed the reduction Of the working
force to political causes, holding that mef
were put on before election and discharged
when their services were no longer re-
quired. At the office of the Bonanza firm,
surprise was expressed at the reading of
the Virginia dispatch published in the
papers Of the California Associated Press
this morning, both as regards the
wholesale discharge of men and the
statements of Mr.. Mackay. 1t was
intimated that possibly the CORE
spondent might have reported Mr.. Mac
HAYS language so as to convey a rather
more glowing idea of the situation than he
intended, but it was admitted that Mackay
knew best, and if he said SO and 30, it must
be so.

his own the clothing recovered from the
secondhand clothing shops by the officers,
where it had been sold by Sullivan. Some
new testimony has been heard Of two boys,
