the aisles clear of knots of comforting
delegates Gentlemen of the conven-
ton will rise for prayer" the chairman
said, and there was a clatter Of chairs
as the body in the center of the hall
came up to its feet with considerable
confusion. The chaplain, Rev. Ed

opened the convention with prayer.
As the convention seated itself,
Chairman Harrity stepped forward and
with a sharp stroke of the gavel an
nounced in ringing tones the selection
of Senator David B. Hill for temporary
chairman. This announcement was
what the gold men were waiting for

of appreciation. Some enthusiastic
delegate cried: Three cheers for

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, July 7.-St Louis
is aroused over the action of the Chi.

ing proportional tariffs on grain and

ST. Louis wants the grain to 70 through
st. Louis whether it is destined for the

cen is construed as direct blow at St
Louis grain interests, which will re-
suit in increased shipments through

move yesterday the st. Louis lines an
nounceed big reduction in grain rates
from Missouri river points to st. Louis.
The reduction in rates amounts in some
instances to a horizontal cut of so per

will stop. as the all-rail lines to the
Gulf of Mexico ports are in the mid

The Buffalo minc boasts the cham pion pie bitter. One day recently, while partaking of his midday repast he remarked, regretfully, that he had never in his life got enough pie. His companions immediately produced from their lunch buckets fifteen pieces of pie, which he gratefully accepted, re- marking that their combined contribu- tions and his own portion might appease his appetite for once, as he was not feeling very well, and, consequently, was not very hungry. There was peach pie, apple pie, plum pie, blackberry pie and several otlier kindg, which he proceeded to devour with gusto, until the last piece disappeared, before the astonished gaze of his fellow workmen. Doubtless when feeling real we'll he could consume several pies more, bnt we hope he will not attempt it and thereby disturb the parity of 16 to l.

Valuable Copper Claims.

Development work on the Black Copper group, under bond to Col. J. A. Fleming and Dr. J. M. Ford, 'oi Phoenix, is progressing satisfactorily under the direction of W. W. Hill. The principal work thus far has been tho sinking of shaft on the Black Copper claim, which is down 100 feet, and in ore nearly all the way. At Q depth of 70 feet the ledge was cross-eut 6 feet and drill driven in 3 feet fur. ther, without reaching the wall, all in ore assaying over 16 per cent copper. and without particle of waste. Al 100 feet cross-cut is being run and the ore is, if anything, better than at 75 feet, and showing an increase of iron and sosae kme.
 Of the group of fifteen claims, six are located on this ledge, which is 35 feet wide in places and is readily traced for a distance of more than two mikes. Some work has also been done on the Montgomery and other claims on the ledge and the showing is equally good.
 There are immense quantities of ore near the surface, going from [ to 10 per cent, suitable for teaching. The ore is changing with depth, and pro- vided the base carries an adequate percentage of iron, as now seems probable, the richer o-es can be smelted to advantage. The ledge has been sufficiently prospected to justify the belief that when opened it will prove one of the largest and richest copper mines In Globe district, if not in the entire southwest.
