LATELY the California millers have
been competing keenly with st. Louis
millers in the markets of Texas, and 1t IS
only recently that dispatch stated flour
was delivered in San Antonio at fifty
cents per barrel cheaper that 1t could be
supplied from Missouri and Illinois mills.
The Southern Pacific Railway is the re-
sponsible medium which has diverted the
traffic from the Northwest and given it to
the Pacific Coast capitalists fertile and
rapidly-growing territory. The next ag-
cressive move Of tho enterprislng Califor-
mans was TO assail the stronghold of their
commercial antagonist by shipping d.
reetly 10 St Louis train load of wheat,
which was sent as sample to test the
market. The cereal rests on its own
merits, and, if approved, the first snip
ments will only be the advance guard uf
heavy conslgnments which are ready to
follow. The first lot was received In St
Louis on Thursday, and when offered by
sample was quickly sold to the Empire
and Atlantic mills, which took fifteen
cars Of the product The wheat was sold
as Colorado wheat, but the attempt to
conceal the source Of the shipment was
too transparent to be credited. The
grading would probably be No. white.
and the price paid was Sl.42, leaving the
consignee profit which some ooiniiiIaslon
men estimate II two cents bushel- The
freight ra,e is said to be $3.50 per car
load. The successful shipment may aP-
ptar significant to those not actually en-
gaged in the bus ness, but only for the
pheno nlii.ally high prices prevailing, there
would not have been q margin left FOR the
consignor in ordinary seasons--T- LOUIS

times they were chased by owners and

But the gang made living out of their

On TIE night of the murder McGloin

room and asked Hanier to go out to Nc

they would have rihed the till in his ab-

facts concerning that locality. Ga
lena is very quiet, Sawteoth is
somewhat livelier, though greatly
effected by the suspension Of mil
ling operations, and snow which
lies to the depth Of two or three
feet, closing out travel, ranchmen,
prospectors etc, for the winter.
Vienna still goes on with the sup
port Of building enterprise on the
immense quartz mill of the Vienna
company. The snow is about three
feet in camp and three and one-hali
feet IN the vicinity Of the mines. AS
yet there is little ore ut the mil
but it is probable that the teams
now employed in hauling timbers t.
the mines will soon be put to haul
