NEARING THE DOLLAR MARK.
Reports From Abroad and the Cror
Failures Tend to Increase
the Demand.

CHICAGO, ILL, May 23.-Wheat started
with wild lunge for the dollar mark TO-
day, touching 81 cents for the july option
before $50. AT the opening bell almost
every man was on the floor and was
frantically yelling for wheat. There was
but little on sale and the market opened
wildly, at from to cents advance over
last night, first trades ranging from so
to 81 cents as compared with III at last
nights close.
The big profits in S1-cent wheat were too
alluring for many fortunate holders and
as they began to let go large quantities the
prices dropped from the high point. From
81 cents July tumbled rapidly to 1875 cents,
reacting about 10 o'clock to 7934 cents.
The immediate cause of the bulge was the
condition of the foreign markets. Liver
pool was reported as plunging madly,
about cents above yesterdays price, and
other European markets were almost radi-
caly strong. Crop damage reports were
still pouring in from all portions of the
wheat belt.
NEW YORK, N. Y, May 23.-Wheat
had another sensational rise this morning
with an enormous business amounting to
about 15,000,00 bushels within the first
hour. July opened at 80 cents, which was
clear gain of cents from the close of
Wednesday and cents for curb prices.
Stimulated by the heavy outside buying
and reports that big Chicago operator
was actively engaged covering shorts it
soon rose to S41 cents, which proved to be
the highest point of the day.
The country demand seemed TO be the
widest thus far on the rise. Cables and
crop dispatches all helped the advance
and the bulls were confident of dollar
wheat, when prices suddenly dropped
under heavy realizations, losing cent in
a few moments.
At noon there was another excited lump
and the early afternoon price ductuated so
violently that local traderssleft the market
entirely alone.
Jumps of Il and 4 cent were frequent,
and at one time there was drop of l cent
in three minutes, while the Chicago mar
ket was even more erratic. The sensation
of the day, however, was 211-cent drop in
fifteen minutes. 1t came like thunder
clap and the pit was fairly turned down
while it lasted. Whole blocks of wheat
were thrown over and the prices went u
and y cent at clap, closing at S1% cents
for July. The total transactions for the
day were about 287 200, 900 bushels.

RIGHTS OF WAY WANTED
A General Freight Business

Two Directors OF the Proposed En-
terprise Now Looking Over
the Ground.

STOCKTON, CAL, May 23.-It is very
probable that Stockton will be the termi-
| nus of another railroad besides the San
Francisco and San Joaquin Valley road.
Fl. Barber returned to-day from San
Francisco, where he had a long talk with
the directors of the San Francisco and San
Joaquin Coal Company, corporation
formed to operate the rich coal mines at
Corral Hollow. 1t was the original in
tention of the company to build railroad
from the mines to Mohr's Landing on Old
River and at that point build bunkers OF
| the most improved pattern for the handling
of coal.
Mr.. Barber pointed out to the directors
the advantage of this city as terminus
and yesterday noon two of the directors
arrived here to investigate the feasibility
of making Stockton the terminal point.
The visiting directors are John W. Cole
man, formerly president of the North Pa
citic Coast Railroad Company, and John
Ire adwell, both of San Francisco. Since
their arrival the gentlemen have been con-
versing with various business men and
taking look at Stockton and the country
round about.
From statements made by them in the
course of an interview to-day it was
learned that they will build broad gauge
railroad from the Corral Hollow mines to
this city and will carry on general rail
road business, providing rights of way and
facilities can be obtained here. The rail-
road will not haul coal alone, but grain
and general freight. If built it will be a
standard broad gauge and its length will be
about thirtytwo miles.
Arrangements have been made to take a
number of prominent citizens to Corral
Hollow next Sunday morning to show
them the extent of the coalfields there and
the quality of the coal. When this has
been done the directors of the company
will make formal proposition to Stock
ton, stating just what is wanted in the way
of rights of way and facilities. No money
will be asked for, but space on the water
front-perhaps on Mormon channel near
its mouth-will, it is said, be required
The mem bers of the party have not been
selected as yet. The party will leave here
on the $3.50 train in the morning and go by
rail as far as Tracy, whence they will take
teams to Corral Hollow, distant from
Tracy twelve or fourteen miles.
The coal mines of the company are of
vast extent, and recent experiments show
that the coal is equal to Australian coal
for steam purposes. At the Risdon Iron
Works it was found that one pound of coal
evaporated 10 pounds of water. The coal
is also good for domestic use, and if the
road is built here it will be sold in Stock
ton for not more than 81 ton.
The building of the proposed road is re-
garded by business men as being of more
importance to Stockton than might at
first be supposed. 1t will give the city
supply of cheap fuel, and thus naturally
assist manufacturing industries.
The San Francisco call., 1895-05-24

the city is 2450 feet above sea level. There
are dozen hills and on each hill there is
group of mines-some active and many
inactive. Every hill has a name, and one
hears of Massachusetts, Hill, New York
Hill, Osborn Hill, etc.. names which were
given them in the pioneer day. On these
hills for forty-five years mining has been
continuously prosecuted, now mine
closing and another taking its place, and
as progress was made in the art of milling
and mining abandoned works were re-
opened, until to-day there are operating in
and around Grass Valley not less than
thirty mines, with prospect OF many
more resuming within year.
The total number of stamps engaged in
the reduction of ore is $50 and the number
of men on the payroll in mines and mill is
about 400, in addition to 800 tributers.
Tributers are miners who lease ground and
give percentage, generally half, to the
owners of the mines for the privilege of
extracting ore from partially worked por-
tions of the mines. This policy is much
in vogue, though the leasers seldom make
more than So per day, and in the greater
number OF instances barely obtain l1veli-
hood. The closing of the silver mines IN
the silver States in the past few years
caused the influx of hundreds of miners to
Grass Valley, so that to-day there are two
men for every position. A year ago an at
tempt was made to reduce miners wages
below So per day, resulting in the forma-
ton of miners union to resist the reduc-
ton. One of the mining superintendent
most aggressive at the time was driven
from the town by force, and no effort has
since been made to economize on these
lines.
The most famous mine of the district is
the Idaho, now known as the Maryland.

There Has Been a General AdUance in
All Lines.
NEW YORK, N. Y, May 23.-The Iron
Age to-day says: The improvement has
now spread to practically every section of
the country and to every department, with
very few exceptions. The consumption is
growing and the demand is much better,
buyers having given up resistance. Unless
some fatality throws back the iron trade
the balance of the year promises to be
quite good. Thus far only very few East
ern concerns have followed the initiative
OF the West in advancing wages, simply
because the improvement in prices is just
beginning to reach them.
The central West has had another week
of activity, and especially in Bessemer pig
iron. Eastern buyers of soft steel are wax
ing up. Prices for finished iron and steel
in the West are up from 81 to 81 per ton,
with further advances imminent The
East is following slowly. The steel rail
trade is in better shape although current
reports are exaggerated, but there is GER
tainly very substantial improvement
over 1894.
The wire industry is quite active. There
has been sharp advance in all nails in
the West.

ODD FREAK OF AN INDIAN
He Becomes the EnVied of All
His Tribe by Purchasing
a HearSe.
1t Is Utilized for Making Frequent
Visits to the Surrounding
Towns.

BOISE, IDAHO Nav 23.-An amusing
story is told in connection with the recent
| opening of the Nez Perce Indian Reserva-
ton. When the Indians of the reserva.
ton had received their money from the
Government they went to the neighboring
towns to spend it. Their visit was, OF
course, anticipated, and all possible
schemes were on foot to relieve Uncle
Sans wards of their cash as speedily as
possible. The Indians were on the buys
too, and money was no object when any
thing they saw took their fancy. The red
wagons, buggies ETC., and in a short time
every available vehicle in the little town of
Pennington was in their possession.
There was one old Indian who failed to
make purchase, however, and after all
the buggies were gone desire to possess
some sort of conveyance started him on
diligent search. After visiting all the
places where vehicles were sold without
success he finally learned of conveyance
which, from the description, completely
overshadowed anything in point of
elegance ever sold before, and the
possession of which would render all the
Indians wild with envy. He sought out
the owner, who proved to be the town un-
dertaker, and opened negotiations for the
purchase of the vehicle. The undertaken
soon found the Indian wanted to obtain
his hearse. The thought staggered him
for moment, but having an eye to busi-
ness and noting the anxiety of Mr.. Red
skin, the hearse was sold for good round
sum.
The Indian hitched two horses to the
somber vehicle, and putting his squaw and
pappooses on the inside, trotted off for
home, the proudest copperface that ever
strung bow or stole a sheep. The other
Indians, hearing of his coming, had lined
| up along the road to watch him pass.
Perched on his high seat, he drove
| haughtily by them, while the little pap
pooses peered through the glass sides and
| clapped their hands rapturously.

but all to no purpose. He retained the
| hearse, and in his frequent visits to the sur
| rounding towns, driving in his somewhat
gloom-inspiring conveyance. is no longer

Although London and Paris are passing
through a period of extreme speculation
and exultation over the mines of johann
nesburg and the neighboring country,
careful observer calculates that fifteen
years will witness the exhaustion OF the
ore bodies, while the prospects are that
Grass Valley quarter of century hence
Will be as active mining camp as it is to-
day. The veins are comparatively small,
varying from two inches to two feet, with
an exceptional showing of four and six
feet Of quartz, but there seems to be no
terminal point in depth. At the 24oO
level the Maryland has six-foot ledge on
an ore chute that has been worked for
nearly mile through Eureka, Idaho and
Maryland ground.
With the commencement of activity in
the Hague group, the reopenlng OF old
claims by the Omaha Company and activ-
ity on the Allison ranch, Grass Valley will
enjoy an era of prosperity not witnessed in
fifteen years.
This city of mines has its own water
works, is lighted by electric and gas lights,
contains four churches, has twenty-one
public school teachers who preside in ten
school-buildings, including high school,
and the public are kept informed on the
news OF the day by three daily newspapers
the Iidings, Telegraph and Union. The
Union takes Associated Press news, and
was the first printing office in the State to
introduce type-setting machine. Every
home is surrounded by yard room, and
every yard is a flower bed or garden, sup
plying fresh vegetables and delicious
fruits to the table of the homes. The
greater portion of the population is from
Cornwall, England, whose miners are in
every quarter of the globe where mining is
followed. The men are of superb ply
sique and are excellent miners. They are
noted for their quaint dialect and fondness
for music. Their local brass band of
twenty-one pieces will compare favorably
with the best bands of San Francisco. The
narrow-gauge railroad connecting the city
with the outside world does a good busi-
ness, but never pays a dividend. Stages
are in operation between here and Colfax
and Marysville, and a bus line unites
Nevada City and Grass Valley. One hun
dred and thirty three houses were built in
1894, and yet it is almost impossible to get
a house to rent.
During these ba1my days of springtime,
while the shade trees are in foliage and the
fruit-trees in blossom, there is not more
delightfully."- picturesque spot to be found
than Grass Valley, the euartz-crowned en-
press of the wild Sierras.

mine remained idle for many years before
the present ownership. Steam is used at
the mine and mill, owing to the elevation.
W. Y. O. D., the abbreviated title for
"work your own diggings," has been in the
front ranks of bullion producers and is
looked upon to-day as one of the leading
mines of the camp. Ten stamps are to be
added to the mill. The property is owned
by Joseph Weissbein.
Outside capital has given little attention
to this inviting field until within the last
four or five years, although Grass Valley
has made many poor citizens men of great
wealth, who then sauntered to other cities
to spend their moneysand partake of the
luxuries of life
In 1860 Clarence King, at the head of the
Government typographical and minera-
logical survey, devoted much time to the
geology of the formations of this region,
and among his party was James D. Hague.
This latter gentleman has since become an
extensive operator in mines, and, recalling
his high opinion of the mines of Grass
Valley, formed while on the survey, he re
turned here five years ago representing a
New York company, and has devoted the
intervening time to the purchase of a mile
and half of mining ground, stretching
from Gold Hill to the North Star mine, in
Guiding it and embracing mines the history
of which is inseparably connected with the
history of this city. Among the mines
purchased is the Rocky Bar, overlooking
Boston Ravine, which has not been worked
for years. The oft-repeated tale of the
suicide of Michael Brennan and the poison
ing of the family by the father, while
respondent and in despair of striking the
vein, has made the Rocky Bar notorious.

FRESNO, CAL, May 23.-A brutal
Chinese murder occurred on the Sharon
estate alfalfa ranch, seventeen miles
northeast of Fresno, this morning. Five
Cinnamon were ON the place irrigating.
At about o'clock this morning one of the
men named Gwan Yee Sing returned to
the cabin, and Cow All Yee went out to
take his place. Cow became enraged at
finding Gwan had let the water overflow,
and returned to the cabin, a distance of
half mile. Gwan had eaten his supper
and was sitting washing his feet prepara-
tory to going to bed, when Cow came up.
Without word Cow struck Gwan over
the head with shovel handle, having car
ried the shovel in with him with the evil
dent intention Of numbering Gwan. One
OF the other Cinnamon saw the blow
struck, but before he could interfere Gwan
mad delivered several more severe blows.
Gwan had no chance to defend himself
and died on the spot, where the body lay
several hours until Coroner Long arrived.
Cow tried to escape by running, but three
other Cinnamon caught him and tying his
arms and feet put him in the cabin. One
Chinaman went to call white man living
near. leaving the other two on guard. Cow
made desperate effort to escape and sue

was tied.
The Cinnamon outside the cabin, however,
were armed with shovels, and held him
prisoner until the white man arrived.
Cow was securely tied, and made no
further resistance. He was taken to

STOCKTON, CAL, May 23.-There is a
Stockton minister named Ray Palmer
who has got himself into trouble. In a
speech at the Avon Theater last Sunday
night he was understood to have said that
certain city officials had told him that
they had given out and received bribes.
The present corps of municipal officers
were naturally aroused, and they de-
manded an explanation from the man OF
cloth. Mr.. Palmer said he did not say
that any of the officials now holding office
had been guilty of such corruption, but
that it was passed city officials who con-
fessed to him. Now those who had held
city offices are indignant, and they have
demanded an investigation. Mr.. Palmer
will be summoned before the Grand jury
and made to tell what he knows about
municipal corruption. 1t is thought that
he made the statement for political effect
and that it is without foundation.
