FURRY IN MINING STOCKS,
Something Like an Approach to the Old Elk
citing Times.


San Francisco dispatch says: The last two
days have witnessed the nearest approach on
the mining stock board to the old-time scenes
of excitement that have been witnessed in sew
eral years. At Wedne sday mornings session
transfers of &c, 600 shares of stock were made
The present excitement is sscribed to the cur
rent reports about developments of ore in the
southern part Of the consolidated California
and Virginia claims on the eleven and twelve
hundred-foot levels, and the Comstock securi-
ties have steadily gone upward. Consolidated
California and Virginia reached an advance of
50 per share over Tuesdays lowest price.
The Best and Betcher, owing to the report
that drift had been started toward the newly
discovered body. went up to 80 per share as
against the opening price of 1928. Mexican.
Gould and Curry, Savage. Potosi, Yellow JACKIE.
and other North Enders'' also felt the infiu-
ence of the advance and went up several points.
The quotations, however. dropped somewhat
before the close, when consolidated California
and Virginia stood at S1225 asked.

The United States receiving ship Vermont
was run into yesterday by a strange schooner
The Vermont was anchored at the Cob dock
in the Brooklyn navy yard at the time. A hole
ten by six feet was made in the yermont's bow
above the water line. Only few officers and
sailors were on board, the recruits having been
transferred to the Concord. The bow Of the
schooner went clear through the vermonts
side into the cabin Of Yeoman Palmer. II
smashed the bed on which he lay. The YER
mont keeled to starbosrd under the shock, and
her supporting shores stove more holes in her
hull.

WILLING TO SETTLE,
Eva Mann Will Withdraw Her Claim to Ray
Hamihon's Estate for $4,000.

Mrs. Eva Mann, otherwise Mrs. Eva Ray
Hamilton, who has been visiting friends in
Carbondaie, Pa, for few weeks past, left yes
terday. She has gone to the home of her father,
William Steele. who resides in Dallas, small
town ninety-soven miles from Wilkesbarre and
where there are no newspaper men nor curious
people who have never seen her to make her
life burden. To a reporter ON the train she
said she desired res: and did not care to have
her movements reported throughout the world
every day. especially when 80 many exaggerated
stories were being told concerning her.
She said her husband estate had an annual
income of $4,000. and by rights one-third of
that belonged to her, but her husbands rela-
tives refused to recognize her claim to any
part of the estate. She further added that
however inconsistent it may seem with their
denial, they have offered her $50. 900 in settle
ment of her claim upon the Hamilton estate
Upon the advice Of her attorney she refused to
accept that amount and will not settle for less
than SIS, 600.

state are encouraging regarding the wheat
outlook. In fOur-fifths of the counties report

SHE rs THIRTEEN AND MARRIED.


PATERSON, July 2.-Jacob Durrenberger
of No. 167 Fifth avenue, this city, appeared
before Justice Weiss last evening in an
excited state of mind, He told an extra
ordinary story of the kidnapping of his 10
years-old stepdaughter, Lizzie Hodel. He
said that man named Justus Stroben of

peared.
The Justice issued warrant for the ar
rest of Stroben. Constable Post went to
Hawthorne this morning and arrested him.
When he was taken before Justice Joel
NJ. johnson of Manchester township. for
a hearing the prisoner said that he had
married the 10 wear old child few days
ago hut refused to tell by whom the cere-
mony had been performed.
Questioned abnnt his unlawful marriage,
he replied that when the proper time came
he would tell when and by whom he was
married.
Stroben gave bail for his appearance,
but this afternoon he and his child wife
were again taken into custody upon the
charge of unlawful conduct. They were
taken before Justice Weiss and gave bail
for trial at the September term of court
At the preliminary hearing the girl
claimed she was IA years old. In answer
to question she said that she was mar
ried to Stroben last Sunday. TO substan-
tiate her statement she produced certiii-
cate made out in legal form and signed by
Justice johnson. Stroben is "a years of
age and is employed in the dye works of
Simon Augur at Riverside.

YUMA, ARIz., July "A reliable report
from Salton states that the railroad COM
pany was forced to return after having
Travelled % miles on the desert lake. The
force Of the current made further Roadway
impossible. The latest news received re-
ports the water still rising. The theory
advanced that water now running into
the Salton basin is caused by the barrier
washed out on the Colorado river last year
near Pilot Knob is exploded by the fact
that the flood Of February this year car
ried twice the amount Of water of that of a
month ago and would have run into the
desert If an inlet existed.
Careful Investigations prove that the
barrier between the Colorado and the rim
of the desert was only ridge Of four feet.
This was ascertained in a survey made
several years ago, The Colorado river has
been filling for over week past and is
lower to-day than the same day last year.
If the water Is running from the gulf the
amount must increase daily, as the differ
ence in the level is greater,
A late dispatch from Salton says a strong
wind last night forced the north shore OF

Chicago, July 2,-pension-agent Isaac
Clements is puzzled. He doesn't know
whether he has been paying pension
money to man or ghost.
The pensoner is William Ransom and
the case most puz2ling one. The records
OF the adiutant-gen for the state of
Illinois show that William Ransom, pri-
vate in Company G. Nnety-ninth Illinois
Infantry, died at Nicksburg August 18th,
1863. The pension rolls of Colonel Glenn
ents' office show that William Ransom,
private in Company q, Ninety-ninth llli-
nois Infantry, is now living and is draw
ing pension at the rate of SIG per month.
His pension began August 18th, 1868, Just
eight days before the army records report
him as dead, and it has continued ever
since.
Ransom's pension was recently increased
from IS to SIG per month. and he got

Tits a mighty curious case, but | be-
lieve there is no fraud attached TO il, said
Col. Clements to-day. 1.-THE discovery was
made by another Ransom, to whom the

The rolls of Ransom's company report
him dead, but my belief is that he was
wounded and reported from the hospital
