THE BUSINESS BOOM
UNEqUALLED IN our nIsronx.
Upward Tendency OF stocks : The
Transactions Test the Capacity
of the Boards-Healthy FL
nnncial Condition.

New York, Nov. 12.-To-day was
the most remarkable for activity and
buoyancy in the history of the stock
exchange. The excitement was at
fever heat throughout, and in many
cases not only were the highest prices
of the year made. but the highest ever
attained. Dealings, which were on an
enormous scale, were Well distributed,
and taxed severely the capacity of the
stock telegraph instruments to report
them, and orders poured in SO contin-
uously from all parts of the country
that brokers in many instances expe-
rienced considerable difficulty in exc
cutting them. Nearly the entire list
participated in the activity, and many
stocks heretofore quiet became promi-
nent in the dealings. The large and
increasing traffics of the railroads, con-
sequent upon the general revival of
business throughout the country, of
course had much to do with the condi-
tion of affairs to-day, but in number
of instances there were special causes
at work to put up this or that stock.
A further impetus was given the ad-
vancing market by reports that ten
million dollars more of bonds will soon
be purchased for the government sink
ing fund. These reports are probably
based upon the fact that for the first
ten business days of November, GUS
toms and internal revenue receipts have
aggregated over one million dollars a
day, at an average, and the receipts
from customs alone, for the first nine
days of this month, averaged about
1926, 900 per day. This will result in
large surplus revenue for the current
month, and its prospective continua-
tion, which may be looked upon as as
sured, will enable the secretary Of the
treasury to purchase more of the six
per cent. bonds early next month. In
the meantime, however, at the rate
stocks of all speculative descriptions are
going up, it will not take long to use up
the surplus ten million dollars thrown
into the market by the recent pur-
chases. Substantial brokers are requir-
ing substantial margins, and some have
lost accounts because of their refusal to
carry stocks on five per cent. deposit.
The Central Pacific paid into the treas
ury to-day, at Washington, 1920, 900 on
account of the sinking fund. The
transactions to-day reached the enor-
nous amount of S624,OO0.

IRRIGATION
EAST OF THE ROCKY RANGE.
The Problem of the Day-Artesian
Wells Suggested az n Partial
SoIution-Succes
Experiments.

Washington, Nov. 12.--Among the
questions to which the commissioner of
agriculture has recently been giving his
attention is that of the redemption of
the comparatively arid tablelands which
stretch along the eastern base of the
Rocky mountains from our northern to
our southern border. The subject is
considered very important, involving
as it does the recovery of a tract Of
country equal to one-fifth of the pro-
ductive area of the United States.
Where it has been possible to subject
the land to irrigation astonishing agri-
cultural richness has been found, but at
present the facilities for irrigation by
means Of mountain streams extend no
further than from forty to fifty miles
from the base of the range. With the
problem of irrigation solved these plains
would be rated among the richest agri-
cultural regions of the country. As
preliminary to practical tests, the COM
missioner has engaged the services of
Diiobiu w dihCl, ldlC cultOl VI lHc ht-
public, to proceed to Colorado and re-
port upon the possibilities of artificial
irrigation, especially with reference to
artesian wells, which in those sections
where mountain streams are not avail
able seem to be the only possible source
of supply for irrigation purposes. There
are now some five thousand artesian
wells in successful operation, and ex-
periments made by French engineers in
the Great Sahara desert indicate that
the plan is feasible. At some of the
wells sunk by NJ. Jus water was OBJ
tanned at depth of only 300 or 400
feet, and the discharge was equal to
eleven hundred gallons per minute.
There is every reason why similar re-
suits should be obtained in the strata
underlying the tablelands of Colorado.
Mr.. Walker, by his training and capac-
ity for close observation, will be able to
make an intelligent study of the situa-
tion, and his report will be looked for
with interest.

BETRAYED AND DESERTED.
The Old, Old Story. without Even a
Change to Note.


Chicago, Nov. PA well-formed,
well-dressed girl of about twenty was
found Sunday night in an unlocked
witness room at the armory. She sat
alone with her thoughts, gently rocking
herself to and fro, pale. handsome
face resting on one hand, and a loosened
wealth of long, black hair trailing
around her. Her name did not appear
on the registry book, and to all inqui-
lries she was mute, Or answered plain
and simple questions in monosyllables.
As to who she was, where from, or
what brought her to station-house, she
refused to say.
Some Investigations on the outskirts
brought to light the facts that her name
was Jennie Haven, and that she had
been the victim OF a young mans per-
fidy. Her home is in Albany, N. Y,
where, week ago, she made the ac-
quaintance Of a youth about her own
age, who represented himself as one
Bradley, travelling man for his father,
a wealthy merchant at Syracuse.
Whether this is the fellows right name
or not is unknown. The girl does not
know, or is unwilling to betray him,
even to the police.
Last Thursday the pair arrived here
and registered at the Palmer House as
man and wife. Saturday morning he
left her "for little while, on urgent
business" as he said, and failed to re-
turn. Yefterday morning she was told
by the clerks that owing to Mr.. Brad
ley's disappearance, and the fact that
her bill was unsettled, she could no
longer be accommodated there. She
had no money and only a change of
clothing. The latter was detained, and
alone and penniless she walked out and
sought the refuge of the police station.
Her friends have been telegraphed, and
an answer is expected to-day.

Halifax, No. 12.-The Norwegian
bark Vrista, from New York for
Queenstown has arrived here.
The vessel left New York October
25th. On the Goth it encountered a
revolving cyclone in which it was
struck by two heavy seas which carried
away the rigging, foretop mast, main
top mast and mizzentop mast with all
yards and gear attached with the ex-
ception of the main and maintop and
jobboom. 1t also sprung the foremast
and stove the bulwarks.
One seaman had his leg broken and
another was washed overheard, but the
returning wave bore him to the deck
again. The gale continued until the
seco nd.

Gathering of the Ute Chiefs and Head
Men.

Washington, Nov. II. : Secretary
Schurz has received the following tele-
gram from special agent Adams, writ
ten at Los Pinos agency, Nov. 10, and
forwarded via Lake City: Arrived here
yesterday and Immediately proceeded
to Chief Ouray's house, where I met
about twenty of the chiefs and head
men of the White River Utes. who had
come in in obedience to Ouray's orders.
The others are expected. The camp of
these Indians is about so miles distant
from Gunnison river. Nothing is
changed in the situation here. Chief
Ouray is positive, that when satisfied
of the guilt of the Indians he will have
power enough to arrest and hold them.

Vienna, Nov. 12.-If the report of
the retirement of Gortschakoff is cor

and the resignation of Gortschakoff,
who is credited to some extent with the
estrangement between Germany and
Russia, are altogether disconnected
events.

Under New Rules.


Under New Rules.
New York, Nov. 11.-The billiard
tournament under the rules of the
champion games was commenced last
night in Tammany hall.
There was large attendance; many
of those present being ladies. The first
game was between Garneir and DAILY.
The referee announced that the game
to be played in this tournament was
practically new one, that experts be-
came so proficient at rail running that,
with view of diminishing the large
runs and forcing experts to play more
around the table, these rules were
adopted:
A line is drawn across each corner of
the table, and within the four triangles
thus formed, only one carom is permit
ted without sending one of the object
balls outside of the triangle.
There are eight players entered for
the tournament which will make il
necessary to play twenty-eight games,
exclusive of ties.
The games will consist of three hun
dred points each, and the prizes are the
champion medal and two thousand dol
lars in cash.
The first prize is one thousand dollars
and the medal; the second is five hun
dred dollars; third, two hundred and
fifty dollars; fourth, one hundred and
fifty dollars; and the fifth, one hundred
dollars.
The first game was won by GARNER
in the Both inning by score of 300 to
Daly's 239; winners average, Z 9-13.
Carriers highest run, 43; Daly's 81.
The second game was between Jacob
Schaefer and Eugene Carter, and was

his estimated majority yesterday at
about 300. Both appear to be safe by
about 2 200 majority.
