WAS THE FIGHTING PARTNER
The Story of a Faro Game at
Memphis
HE HAD TOO MUCH INVESTED
How a Squeling Riverman Was Badly
Whipped
HE HAD TOO MUCH INVESTED
But the Victor, Whose Nose Was Chewed
Off, Drew Out Immediately After
the Scrap

The police are keeping as sharp look
out as possible for gamblers and conf
dence men. One of them got to town
yesterday that it's dollars to doughnuts
not even the shrewd detectives of Los
Angeles discover. He's travelled all over
America and Europe, has made thousands
OF dollars and spent every cent he made,
and very few of the people he met ever
knew that he was a gambler. He knows
how to mind his own business, and as he
is about three times as clever as the ordi-
nary policeman or detective. he does not
have much difficulty in getting along.
Very few better story tellers exist than
he. Down at the Hollenbeck yesterday
he spun a couple of yarns, one of which,
at least. is worth repeating.
II was travelling down through the
South, " he said several years ago, hav-
ing good time, and separating sucker
or two from his stuff. At Memphis |

even at the end OF the first deal, when a
big river boatman came in and sat in the
game. He was a Piker. at least it looked
that way, because he only bought white
checks. 1t didn't take long for him to
lose that stack, and then he let out 4 hor-
rible moan. He swore he'd been up
against brace, and demanded that his
money he given back. Rather than have
a row, the dealer, who was also one of
the propretors gave him his dough and
told him that his game was not wanted
any more. / heard afterward that he had
quite reputation as a lighter, and had
raised hall dozen disturbances in the
place. In fact. whenever ne got OFF loser

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION
Conference in American Securities Con-
tinEes in Londcn
In General Trade the Prospects Remain En-.
couraging-A Distlnc. Improvement
in Business

The advance proof of the weekly finan-
cial review OF the banking house of Henry
Clews & Co. of New York for the week
ending March Goth has been received,
from which the following extracts are
taken:
London continues to exhibit renewed
confidence in our securities. There has
been no important realizing here on ac-
count of that market and the operations
on the London exchange are assuming a
quite active phase. 1t is evident that
British investors have reganed, in an
important measure, their former conf
deaee in our investments. That first con-
dition OF buying having been realized,
there are other helpful consequences that
are likely to follow. Nearly everything
dealt in on the London exchange has been
forced up by recent speculation to up-
reasonably high prices; and the main
thing in which it is now possible to create
an exciting interest is new gold mining
enterprises, which are being extensively
organized and most of which appear to
be of very dubious character. Improved
confidence in our obligations and their
current relatively low prices. together
with the prospect OF their Increased earn
ing capacity, can hardly fail to restore
very materially the demand for American
investments. The extent to which this
source OF demand might ultimately de-
velop may be inferred from the fact that
the amount of our stocks and bonds re-
turned in 1898 and 1884, under effects of
the silver scare, has been generally esti-
mated at not less than 500 600, 600. The
amount of gold bearing bonis exported
last week was $1,000. 600; but this week
the shipments have been light.
This revival of the London market is
important as having a direct bearing
on the foreign exchanges. AS it was al
most entirely the return OF securities that
caused the extraordinary exports of gold
during the late depression. so the renewal
os exports OF these Obligations will tend
to hold the shipments OF specie in check,
thereby facilitating the restorative work
OF the loan syndicate and strengthening
the position OF the United States treasury.
1t is also a matter OF some weight, i'll our
relations with European investors, that
there is now every assurance OF an imme-
diate return to a state of general national
prosperity. AS a state OF panic and de-
preston has always an unfavorable effect
upon the foreign credit of a nation, so a
state of prosperity encourages confidence,
for the plain reason that industrial ac-
tivity is conducive to good earnings and
diminshes the RISKS Of investments. 1t
may be said that we have not yet ped
from the unfavorabe contingencies con-
nected with silver, which is true. But do
the United States stand alone in this re-
spect? Judging from the accounts that
reach US, the commerce of Great Britain
and her dependencies is suffering much
more than ours from this cause. And in

REVIVAL OF TRADE.
The London Standard Points Out the
Danger to American Interests.

London, Sept. 21.--The Standard, in an
article on the revival of the worlds trade,
says: In both England and America the
expansion in the movement of capital is
partly due to renewed activity on the
stock exchanges, but the railway returns
show solid substratum of increased
mercantile transactions. The returns
have improved in America the earliest
because America awoke first. The
money market is now overloaded, partly
due to the bungling currency experiment
in the United States, but the heavy bull
lion movements to England from America
have not upset any of the great markets.
Everything points to further expansion
of trade. For time high prices might
override high tariff, but much depends,
in the next few years, upon how America
and France and the colonies shall treat
England in the matter of tariff. The
United States seems disposed to revert
toward McKinleyism. Should they do
so they will suffer more serious defeat
in their effort to control the worlds food
and cotton supply than they have ever
done.

ROSEDALE MINE SOLD.
Important Deal in San MateO Gold
PrOperty-Pittsburg Capitalists
Make First Payment.

1t is not generally know to MIXING
people that within thirty miles of San
Marcial, in the San Mateo mountains,
there are located vast bodies of gold
bearing quartz only requiring the pres
ence of capital and energy to create new
money kings and startle the world by the
extent and richness of their hidden treas
ures, says the San Marcial Bee.
The hardy prospector has known of
this for number of years, and few
good locations with more or less de-
velopment, are in evidence to back up
his faith. Chief among these is the Rose
dale mine, owned, until recently, by enter
prising citizens of San Marcial The
main shaft is down about 100 feet and
during the progress of the work the out
look was so encouraging that a small
stamp mill was erected to work the out

ostensibly in search of health, but pre-
pared to catch on to good thing if pre-

Rosedale and investigation proved to
him the great value of the mine in ques-
tion. Pittsburg capitalists were CORES
ponded WITH and assays made of the rock
by prominent mining experts proved it
to be of great value, and of such nature
that the pure metal could be extracted at
little cost.
The negotiations resulted in three of
the owners signinga contract to sell their
interests for $780, 10 per cent to be paid
when tho papers were submitted, the bal
ance at later date.
DR.. Davis hastened east and succeeded
in forming company under the laws of
Pennsylvania. These preliminaries
forced this gentleman to ask for an ex-
tension of sixty days in making the final
payment. The check for the first pay
ment reached Mr.. Broyles' bank in San
Marcial, on last Saturday, and on Mon
day the sellers agreed to the new arrange
ment and accepted the check. W. K. Nat
tress receives $4,000; Fred Keith $4,000,
and Julius Estes, 800, the closing pay
ment to be made January 6, next. The
other two owners j. E. Nichols and G. H.
Featherston, will be members of the new
company, the former having one-eighth
interest and the latter two-eighths.
