A New Eldorado.

The newest of western mining camps
the Cochiti camp, In New Mexico, lies
near the ancient Indian village Of that
name on the west bank Of the Rio
Grande, southwest from Santa Fc-
The mines lie in lodges which cross a5
right angles the walls Of three car
yons, the Cochiti, the Pine and the
Peralta. Some Of the ores already
taken out there are very rich, and, if
the claims as to their abundance are
verified in the continued working,
Cochiti will prove one Of the great
gold-bearing districts Of the United
States. At the mouth Of the Pine, the
central canyon Of the three, the hum
ming, brand-new town Of Allerton is
situated. Two smaller town sites,
Kent City and Eagle, have been laid
of, about six miles to the east and to
the west, respectively. A few hame
and more log houses are interspersed
among the tents which constitute tho
greater part of the residence and BUSH
ness structures Of the camp, IN which
about two thousand people abide.
Saloons and gambling and dance houses
are plentiful and busy, and even the
"old timer" with memories of Dead
wood and Leadville, admits that the
.Cochiti has generally the symptoms Of
booming camp.

try r. G. Dun 8 Co.'s Report.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1S,-R. G. Dun &
Co. weekly review of trade says;
The advance IN corn discloses general be-
lief that the injury to this most important
crop has been so great as to affect materially
the traffic Of railroads, the demand for manu.
featured products, and the cost Of meats for
the coming years. Unless the markets de-
ceive and are entirely deceived our
country will have to face real calamity in the
loss OF something like 500 600 900 bushels of
and this loss consumers have to share through
the advance Of IA cents In two weeks and cents
since Friday OF last week. Neither official nor
unofficial statements as yet preclude the hope
that the loss may prove less serious, but ut
current prices 1900 600 900 bushels would cost
much as 1000, 0O0, 900 bushels would have cost q
fortnight ago. Wheat has risen S,s cents in
the fortnight and 2h during the week, although
western receipts have been 5,22s,12s bushels,
against 8,162, 694 last year. Atlantic exports
are still about half as large as year ago,
1893, 4S5 bushels, against 2,73 ,7s4 last year.
Pork products are little stronger, as is
natural. Cotton has twice risen and again de-
clined a sixteenth, with increasing prospects
Of very large yield, closing without change
for the week.
The Iron and Steel Manufacturer records a
great increase Of nearly $4,000 tons in weekly
output in July and the production is 1896
tons weekly, about II 900 tons less than in
April, but 5000 tons more than a year ago,
when the prostration had nearly reached
its worst. The decrease in unsold stocks
was only 6,l7 tons for the month.
showing consumption in manufacture not
quite equal to the present output. Prices sus-
tain this view, having changed only in the di-
rection Of weakness; the disappointing de-
mand for finished products is still the main
factor.
The failures for the five weeks ended August
I showed liabilities OF Sll,l447l3, OF which as
626,b94 were OF manufacturing and 81, 220.24 Of
trading concerns. The failures during the last
week have been PSI in the United States,
against S04 last year, and 81 In Canada, against

Working Hours In Germany.

The hours Of the German 1aborer are
very long, frequently exceeding fifteen
hours day, but there are certain regu-
lations In factories that are rigidly car
ried out In regard to women's work.
All factories where women are en-
ployed are registered, and only eighty
hours year overwork is allowed.
Children under thirteen cannot work.
in factories, although the law is often
evaded by making them work at home.
Strange as 1t seems, the state is more
mercfnl to the children than the par-
ents; in some villages children threel
years old are kept busy threading
needles. Thuringian watch-makers
keep their children working from Sat-
urday noon until Sunday morning ut
two. After two hours sleep they must
work again until church time.

that the company has closed twelve

Beggs looks for all of these except the
Riverdale to close during the present

company to run the Riverdale the
year around, regardless Of prices
of material, on account of the
compressed-yeast business. The Great
Western is now using wheat in the
manufacture of highwines Wheat
can be secured cheaper than corn, thus
reducing the cost of the raw material.
AS long as the present high prices of
corn maintain wheat will be used.

in Dantzic, the situation grows
worse in spite of the closing of the

OMAHA. Neb.. Aug, 1O.-Riots were in
full vogue at South Omaha Wednesday
night between the strikers and the
men who have taken their places.
When the men, who quit work at s
o'clock, passed out of the works, the
majority organized themselves in
squads for mutual protection. With
one hand in their pockets, hold
ing revolver ready for action,
they passed up the street and past
crowds of strikers, but were allowed
to pass without being molested. Later,
however, when a few single men left
the works they were assaulted and in
many instances seriously injured.
OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 1.-Two com
panies of the state militia, the Thurs
ton rifles and the Omaha guards, the
''crack" troops of the Nebraska ma
tional guard, were sent to South
Omaha at a. m. Friday and stationed

Wickes, of the Pullman Palace Car
company, has stated that tenants oc-
cupying the company's houses and not

means volumes to the strikers and
their families, who are in starving
condition.

out in the United States. Regular otn-
scrs OF the government are stationed
at foreign ports who inspect and de-
tain all suspected patfents,gald at our
