ana manipulated to bring them to a
sage OF profitable production, and
dividend payers too, second only to
the grand old Ontario. So every en-
couragement should be given the laud-
able work toinduce few millions more
to engage in the wealth producing in
dustry In this promising, treasure
vaulted vicinity.
This is how they do it in Idaho: An
honest looking gentleman arrived in
Pine Grove about three weeks ago, just
off of thirteen years trip from Ohio
around to Texas, Colorado. Utah and
Idaho. he represented himself here as
a carpenter. He built house for
widow woman, and gave his labor as a
donation to worthy but poor lady.
He ran his face for grub. slept in barn
| and ate raw steak but did not do with
out his toddy. The boys all seemed to
take liking TO him. and it was: Come
up, Frank and take something" And,
by the by, Frank speaks very highly OF
tue boys at Pine Grove. Well, Frank
strolled around the hills where the
miners were prospecting their claims,
and encouraged them considerable in a
O0b CuCCOSolul way dDu HOuIu
up by purchasing and paying $40 600
for one claim and bonding several of
the best claims in the camp. After
securing mill-site he took the wheels
for Denver, to purchase a first class
mill, and says he VIII have il crushing
quartz inside of forty days.
In Grass Valley, CAL, they have hit
upon new and very successful process
for working gold quartz. The pulp from
the battery falls into trough six inches
wide. six inches deep and the length of
the battery. From this trough The
pulp runs into narrow hume which
leads it into another trough with tape
holes, through which the pulp spouts
from the latter trough into four sluices
covered with canvas duck. The grade
of these sluices is one and one fourth
inches to the foo. The canvas is taken
up every two hours and washed in q
large tank. The concentrations in the
tank are put in to a revolving barrel
(old Freiberg process barrel and left
there for some time until amalgama.iop
is completed. There is no quicksilver
used In the batteries or on the canvas.
A decision of interest in mining
regions is that of the Pennsylvania
Supreme Court in the case of Thomas
w lliams against J. M. Hay, from Som
erset County. 1t is held that where
one person owns the surface, and an
O her person owns the coal or other
minerals lyiog underneath. the unoer
or mineral estate owes q sersitude OF
sufficient support to the upper or super
incu mbent estate. In this case it was
contended that where the deed pro
viIed, however, that the said w. Barr,
his heirs and assigns, in mining and re-
moving the Goals, iron ore and minerals
afore SAID, shall do as'little damage to |
the surfaces as possible" the right to |
surface support was waived; but the |
Supreme Court holds that an absolute |
right to surface support is not to be |
taken away by mere implication from |
language which Ooes not necessarily |
import such a result.
Lower prices for stocks and for pro-
ducts, dull trade, cheaper money, and |
b=tter crop prospects. have he the
features of the eastern market during |
the week. Chicago and PittsbuTg Show !
small gains and Philadelphia a gain Of |
Ii per cent, but New York shows a loss |
of and Boston of 81 per cent, Gin |
cinnati of 11H. st. Louis of IA. and |
Baltimore and San Francisco o. II per |
cent. The improvement in crop pros
poets is decided. A slight improve
ment in grain freights, to 115d, ior
wheat to Liverpool, indicates better
export demand since the decline in
price.
Reports from the interior show retter |
business at Omaha st. Paul and Cleve- |
land, but comparative dulness or quiet |
ut nearly all points. Money is rather
close and rates stiff at Detroit, but the |
markets at other points seem fairly or |
fully supplied. Omaha reports collec- |
tons good, but complaints of slewness |
are rather the rnle. and the number of |
failures IN May, 81 per cent. larger than |
last year in the United States. though |
smalle1 in Canada, shows the effect of
shrinking demand in many instances.
During the past week the averge price
of stocks has declined about 10 cents
per share. In the absence of any gen.
eral movement to realize by foreign
holders of securities, the market con
tinues quite in the hands of local specu-
lators.
Tue business failures occurring
throughout the country during the
past seven days, as reported to R. G.
Dun d Co, number, for the United
States, 1876 and for Canada 10, or a
total OF POS, as compared with a total
of 225 last week, and 189 the week pre-
vious TO the last. For the correspond
ing week last wear, the figures were $50,
made up of 125 in the United States
and 25 in Canada. There is notice.
able increase this week in the failures
on the Pacific Coast the number there
being AZ, which is far above the average.
The failures in the other sections of the
country are light, and as rule unim-
portant.
