RUSsIA's ENMITY.
The Cause Of the Attempted Assassination Of
Emneror Francis Josenh

Emperor Francis Joseph.
VIENNA. Oct 1.-The impression is gain
ing ground that Russian enmity to Austria
and Germany had something to do with the
attempt to assassnate the Emperor Francis
Joseph. The Russian Secret Service has. as
it is well known, taken leading part in just
such conspiracies, as witness the Paniiza
plot, which. though detected in time. was
aimed at the life Of Prince Ferdinand of
Bulgaria. 1t was thought that the lesson
given in the execution of terdinand's would
be assassin would deter others from such
conspiraces thereafter, but there is reason
to assume that Russian intrigue is also at
the bottom Of the plan to destroy tho ruler
of the AustrO-H Hungarian Empire.

MINING MEXICAN GOLD.

Annual Meeting of the Luster Company
Increase of the Capital Stock for the I'm
provement of the Plant at Durango-A
Big Field of Very Fine Ore.
The annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Luster Mining Company was held
yesterday afternoon. The company is conf
posed largely of Pittsburgers, and is engaged
III mining gold at Durango, Mexico. There
was not full meeting, owing to the fact that
many of the stockholders were laid up with
the grip. Between 5000 and 10000 of the $1,000
shares were represented. The election of officers
was the first business and resulted as follows:
President H. D. Gamble; Vice President,
m Of
w. A. Stone, II. w. Fulton. j. X. Lanahan, W.
7. Chaffey John II. Mueller, s. H. Murray, II.
D. Gamble, NJ. X. Salisbury and Samuel W.
Black.
It was decided to increase the capital stock
S3 per cent, making 1t 5000 600, in order to ex-
tend the facilities of the company. All the new
shares we're taken except about zoo which VIII
be subscribed to by the members not able to be
present yesterday. The financial statement up
to March shows a small cash balance on hand
of S2OS, and since that date the earnings were
about S. l50 and expenses abont $500.
The report of the Board of Directors showed
that the mills were practically put in opera
tion January ., and their capacity was only
about 80 tons per day. The earnings per day
from the bullion is about Sll0. In addition the
concentrates. or gold which is not gotten ont
in the quicksilver process. amount to 600 per
day. While the plant is self-sustaining the
company has purchased additional pulverlzing
and concentrating machinery, which will in
crease the output TO from 50 to iOO
tons Per day. This, at the rate
the mills are now going, should
give proft of 1916 per day from bullion taken
from the plates of the mills and about IA tons
of concentrates, worth SlO0 per ton. These con-
sentrates cannot be realized upon until the
chlorination plant now being erected is COM
pleted. 1t will then give net profit OF from
$500 to $500 per day.
The report stated that the increase OF the
capital stock was necessary for the completion
of this chlorination plant, the purchase OF ad-
ditional machinery and the further develop
ment of the property.
The works at Durango are under the super
vision of Superintendent F. o. Pelham. He
was in Pittsburg recently, but has gone back.
The company owns a strip of territory LOCO
feet wide and ~ miles long. 1t is traversed by
three vertical veins of gold ore, measuring
from 80 to 80 feet. President Gamble states
that some of the ore bodies cannot be worked
out in the lifetime Of the present members of
the company.
The ore is reported as being of the very
finest grade. The lowest mill runs yield Sl2 40
per ton, while some runs yield as high as $50
per ton. This is considered large yield, as
fields in the Black Hills and other places are
being successfully worked which bring only
81 Oper ton. The company estimates that its
ore can be milled at cost not to exceed S. per
ton.

Cold and moisture combined have torporis-

gestiye and secretlve processes are apt TO be
more tardily performed IN winter than in the
fall. The same is true, also. of the excretory
functions. The bowels are often sluggish and
the pores of the skin throw off but little waste
matter at this season. The system, therefore,
requires opening up little, and also purifying
and regulating, and the safest srirest and most
thorough tonic and Alternative that can be used
for these purposes is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. Persons who wish to escape the
rheumatic twinges, the dyspeptic agonies, the

their systems with this renowned vegetable
