Pleased With Mercur.

President Clark of the Eagle Mining
and Milling company in the Mercur dis
trict is in the city, and reports that
property showing up well.
P. P. Egan, the oil man from Denver,
has been out there and living high
at the Eagle hotel, and is in great
feather over the outlook. It is re-
lated that an old mining man of that
district, who is something of an ex-
pert himself, examined the ground
some time ago and claimed that sink
ing forty feet more would reach the
strata of black shale common to that
location, and it is now proven that his
calculation was but two feet off, as it
was reached in forty-two feet. He fur
Their ventured that another twenty-five
feet would take it down to the pay
streak, and work is being pushed as
fast as possible in order to knock out
what lies between.

A stock Exchange For Chicago.

CHICAGO, Dec. IA local paper
says:
The establishment of a mining stock
exchange in Chicago is now an as
sured fact. A meeting will be held
Saturday and the papers forwarded to
Springfield
John Mayo Palmer, Incorporation
council, who has been prominent in the
formation of the exchange, says that
1876 members had subscribed, and that
immediate steps would be taken to-
ward the establishment of board
The scope of the enterprise has been
broadened so as to include not only
mines of all descriptions, but mineral
products. The idea is to furnish an
exchange which will bear the same
board of trade bears to agricultural
products
The exchange will probably be
known as the Chicago mineral and
mining board Considerable difficulty
has been encountered by the promoters
of the enterprise in the rule of the
Chicago stock exchange prohibiting it's
members from joining any other local
exchange which deals in stocks and
bonds. Mr.. Palmer says that the new
board intends to list only such stocks
bility. Reports will be demanded and
investigation made of the companies
which seek to have their stocks listed
Cripple Creek and other Colorado
mining shares will constitute but a
small part of the business of the board.
Negotiations have already been en-
tered into for the listing of Michigan
copper mining stocks which are now
extensively traded in on the Boston
exchange. Montana, California, Utah
and Alaska mines will be represented.
After the new board is incorporated
It will be but a short time before trad
ing is begun as much of the prelimin-
airy work has already been done and
all that remains is the actual listing o.
companies.
Mr. Palmer said that much depended
upon the character of the directory
that was elected.

"to secure men of high business stand
ing, who will give the institution pres
tige, which will be of great value. es-

PURCHASED THE STRAIGHT SHOT

Thirty Thousand Dollars.

A deal was contaminated in this city

E. G. Rognon have acquired title to
the Straight Shot claim, formerly the
property of DR.. II. n. Warren, Reuben

The Straight Shot claim joins the
nAuch-talked-of Dalton mine on the

sufficiently developed to demonstrate
the fact that il has a continuation of
the Dalton ffssure vein. Indeed, ore of
the same character and value has been
exposed in the Straight Shot workings.

Paralysis

From the Press, New York City.
For more than fifteen years Mrs. A. Mather, who
lives at No. 4S East 18TH street, New York, was
q sufferer from anaemia, which, in spite of the
ner, GUS prostration until finally marked symptoms
of paralysis set in. Mrs. Mather gladly gave the
reporter her experience.
For many years. Mrs. Mather said, Il was q
constant sufferer from nervousness. 1t was about
fifteen years ago that my condition began to grow
worse. Soon I became affected that I was
part Of the time unable to leave my bed. I en-
ployed several physicians from time to time, my

RAISING OF HORSES:
The Prospect for the Future as Pre-
scented to the Farmers.

Inc Prospect Tor the Future Pre-
scented to the Farmers.
From Farm News.
The price Of horses has of late been so
reduced that farmers are discouraged in
horse raising. The low prices now prevail
ing are due to want Of demand,on account
of the electric car system, which has been
so generally established throughout the
cities and some parts of the country Tor
rapid transportation. This is, no doubt, in
some part the cause of the weak demand
for horses in the markets. There is, how
ever, another cause, which will be found in
over production. A few years ago the
horse craze, as it may be called, prevailed
among farmers, and there was scarcely any
one who was not breeding either frst-class
roadsters or blooded drivers.
For these for a few years. firSt-claSS
prices were obtained, and the demand
which was at the time fictitious one, pro-
duced by sort of boom in horseflesh, pro-
duced an oversupply. and now there are too
many horses for the market, which has for
the time been somewhat diminished by the
electric car lines.
But good horses are always desirable
and will in the near future bring better
prices than now Farmers will understand
what they need, and for while. perhaps,
the supply will be short of the demand.
but the price will again settle to a fair COM
penSatio for the trouble and risk in rails
always be in demand in the cities and in
the prosperous villages. Cars may carry
men to business and women do their shop
ping, but there is a demand, in hours not
spent in business, Tor carriage horse to
supply a need, felt by almost every we'll
TODD family, that may have a restful air
ing in the country or in the parks and
suburbs of the city Farmers would do
well to turn their attention to raising
horses to supply this want. Horses should
be raised Of the best blood, not for the
turf, but for the carriage. and as much
care should be taken in their training for
this purpose, as is necessary to produce
good conditioned. quiet, trusty horses suited
to driving through all the hustle and noises
of the city.
This will require time and care in the
trainer, but such horses will always have
a good SALE and can be profitably raised.
Give US good family horses and the de-
mand will be sufficient to pay the producer
a good profit,

which mark nearly ali giants, who are apt
to display an overdeveiopment of the hands
and feet, and particularly of the face. DIR.
Charles L. Dana attributes such over
growth on the part of occasional human
beings to a disease. He asserts that ''gi-
antism,'' he calls it, is due to disorder
of small gland that goes by the name OF
the pituitary body" situated at the base Of
the brain. This gland, about the size of a
lea, seems to have something to do with
nutrition. Injury to IT causes cancellation.
In giants it is always found much enlarged.
In short giantism is a nervous complaint.
Happily, 1t is not transmitted to offspring,
and the children of giants are people Of or
binary size.
The giant of nursery tales is strong, bold,
cruel and voracious. But, according to DR..
Dana, the giant of reality is weak physi-
cally, amiable and stupid. He may be pow
erful muscularly in youth, but he loses his
strength by the time he reaches maturity.
AS a rule, he dies young. One never sees
an old giant, and a middle-aged specimen is
rare. Beyond question great stature under
ordinary circumstances may be and COM
monty is inherited. Hence the physical de-
velopment of the wrestlers of Japan. who
tower head and shoulders above the every
day people Of their own race. Forming a
caste by themselves, they have been bred
for stature for centuries. The soldiers OF
King Frederick Williams famous regiment
of giants at Potsdam married the women

Quence, there are a great many very tall

them is less than six feet in height.

AMATEUR BoOkBINDING,
Artistic HandivOrk in Which Some
Women Find Recreation.

From TIE Book Buyer
Few vocations heretofore followed by men
arc left uninvaded nowadays by women
In the more artistic handicrafts their pres
ence and influence are felt more particular
ly than in the commercial occupations,
since, wherever individuality counts special
ly, the woman's taste and dizziness of
handiwork avail most and leave the most
distinct impress upon the work Comment
ing upon the incident that number Of
women of leisure have taken UP pookbind
ing a recreation, the writer quotes a
paragraph recently published in the
Tribune about the ease with which Il home
bindery can be set up, and what interest
ing results can be obtained. There is a
sentiment in dainty handbound book
that is delightful and SO many excellent
works are now published with paper-and
therefore perisha ble-covers, that 1t is a
vertable pleasure to save some favorite
from destruction and to give it an honored
place on ones table or the library shelves
A press, some book boards-which are to
be found at all places where they sell book
binders Observation-Disclosures twine"
book binders glue" and marbled or other
figured paper, watered silk, prepared for the
purpose, or plain white paper, for the fin
ish and fly leaves. are all that is needed
except for the outside binding, which is
purely matter of taste and skill in de-
signing. Any kind of ma terial will make
good covers; fooled and decorated leather.
handsome bit of brocaded silk, or even
chintz covers are very effective. Smoothly
Numbered white linen duck, with printed
design and lettering, make a very pretty
cover.
Thin moro COOS of every shade are easily
stretched and pasted over the boards For
small books, gray linen with red lettering is
good; and embroidered covers may be made
very beautiful with Spanish bullion work
in gold and silver Metal corners and clasps
add much to the appearance of an edition
de luxe. In short, when the details of the
bindery are mastered, there is no end to the
scope for pretty effects. TO learn how to
bind book. it is best to take some old
look to pieces and study the construction. A
strong screw press is a necessity. When
the leaves are all in their places in the
press, small cut is made with a saw in
several places on the back and the Irvine
inserted with strong glue. The back Is
then covered with muslin, glued on, with
ends left on either side to paste onto the
boards, which have already been covered
with the outside cover. After this has been
done, paper or watered silk is pasted on the
inside of the boards. over the muslin ends,
to form fly leaf on the other side, and
the book Is put in the press and left until
dry. After few experiments all this work
can be done very neatly and in a workman
like manner; and there is no greater satis-
faction in the way of handiwork than Civ
ing good work good cover.
