Showing L. inc Opex.

4 great deal of interest is manifested
at the present time in the work that is
going on in the Opex claim, which is
located on the south side of Eureka.
Hill mountain and a short distance be-
low the Mammoth mine.
1t is believed by the officers of the
Opex company that its group is on the
line of the Centennial Eureka vein, and
the observations of men who have been
almost raised in the district seem to
bear out this theory, as the Centennial
Eureka ground laps over from the di-
vide from the Eureka side, and is not
far from the OpeX endlines.
The ODex shaft is now down to the
depth of 260 feet and the property is
equipped with a steam hoist that has
a capacity of 600 feet
Three shifts are at work sinking the
shaft as rapidly as possible, and as
the bottom is already in mineralized
ground it is the general opinion that it
cannot be long now before the work
ings will be into pay ore.
Within the past few weeks there has
been considerable inquiry for Opex
stock, and as soon as values are en-
countered there is good reason to be-
lieve that the price of this security
will advance.

Washington, Dec. 30.-A case was
docketed in the supreme court of the
United States yesterday, the record of
which disclosed an entirely new ground
of cffense in the state of Montana,
and which, if it had been held to be
q crime, would have resulted in the
speedy depopulation of that flourish

Ger in and for Lewis and Clark coun-
ties, appeared before G.. T. Gage, a
justice of the peace in Helena town

of April, 1896, he did, with force and
arms, carry on a business for the
carrying on of which a license is re-
quired by a law of this state, to-wit:
the laundry business. other than a
steam laundry, said Yot Sang, being a
male person, all of which is contrary
to the form of the statute in such
cases made and provided and against
the peace and dignity of the state of
Montana
When the judges realized the posi-
bilitieS of the situation as defined in
that complaint, that being male per-

such cases made and provided, and

WORKING the Monogram.

George St. Clair of Ophir, who made
fame and money in working the
Chloride Point mine year ago, ar
rived in the city yesterday on business.
and can be found by his friends at the
Cullen.
Mr.. St. Clair, after taking a small
fortune out of the Chloride Point, on
Lion hill, in Ophir district. is now en-
gagged in the development of the Mono
gram ground which is located between
the Chloride and the Northern Light
mines, and he is confident that this
property will open up into as good a
producer as either the Chloride or the
Northern Light.
On the Monogram the shaft is down
to the 7O-foot level, and it is expected
that within 80 feet more the ore zone
will be uncovered.
Messrs Connors, Anderson and
Moore. the present lessees of the
Chloride Point, are meeting with good
success in their work and are sending
in consignments Of highgrade ore, a
carload of which was received at the
samplers last week.
All is activity on Lion hill at the
present time, according to Mir. St.
Clair, who states that the machinery
for the Northern Light mill is now on
the ground, and that it viii not be long
now before the plant is grinding away
on Northern Light ores.
The greatest excitement, he says, is
over the discoveries on the western
slope, which is now fairly alive with
clainlholders and prospectors; and he is
satisfied that if the values hold out
this will make one of the most i'm
portant portions of the district.

The stock market yesterday exhibited
an upward tendency, and in several
respects it was quite active, and es-
peciany so in the stocks that have
been popular with the public during
the past few days.
On the floor of the Mining Exchange
there was a short but decisive battle
between the bears and the bulls, with
the decision in favor of the latter, and
at the close it was plainly to be seen
that a goodly per cent of the mining
securities had scored advances, and
the active demand for good dividend
paying and prospective stocks indi-
Gated a strong revival of the sDecu-
lative feeling among the dealers in
this city.
Anchor. which has been making
steady gains during the past week,
was tossed to the $115 mark yesterday
in the bidding, while none of the stock
was offered. AJAX was also in good
demand and was transferred freely at
81 cents, and at the close the lowest
offering was at 80. A slight decline was
noted in Bullion-Beck, and yet the
stock was firm a the quotations given
below. Galena failed to come I'D to
the figures Of the day before and suf-
fered losses both ways. GeySer was
stationary and inactive at the quota
tions of the previous call, while Four
Aces was a prime favorite al 1872 and

$3.50 bid and 81 asked. Mammoth was
a little weak, but still it lowered
around the figures that have ruled the
stock during the past few days.

Der of them, and although the bidding
was active, with a strong upward ten

thing to let go. even at fancy prices
Swansea was in good demand and
at an advance of 3 cents over the
closing bid of the previous call, but
this failed to draw out any of the
stock and no transfers We're recorded.
South Swansea chronicied the greatest
gains OF the day and advanced from
$ll5, the highest previous bid. to $1.90,
but even at this figure holders refused
to let go. Dalton was in the SOUP, so
to speak, and it is the general impress
sion that a rise can be looked for in
this stock within the next few weeks.
Sunbeam fell off a little in the bidding,

GRANTS MIDNIGHT RIDE.
The Generals Aversion to Turning
Back Almost a Superstition.

At IL o'clock word came to Grant and
Meade that their headquarters, escorts
and wagons were delaying the advance
of Warrens corps. and they decided to
move on to Todds tavern in order to
clear the way. The woods were still on
fire along part of the main road. which
party turned out to the right into side
road. The intention was to take the
same route by which the cavalry had adj
vanced. but it was difficult to tell one
road from another.
The night was dark the dust was thick
the guide who was directing the party
became confused. and it was uncertain
whether we were going in the right di
rection or riding into the lines of the
enemy. The guide was for a time sus-
pected of treachery. but he was innocent
of such a charge, and had only lost his
bearings. Colonel COmStOck rode on in
advance and hearing the sound of march
ing columns not far off on our right,
came back with this news, and 1t was de-
cided to return to the Brock road.
General Grant at first demurred when
it was proposed to turn back. and urged
the guide to try and find some cross-road
leading to the Brock road. TO avoid re-
tracing our steps. This was an instance
of his marked aversion to turning back,
which amounted almost to superstition.
He often put himself to the greatest per-
sonal inconvenience to avoid It. When
he found he was not travelling in the di-
rection he intended to take. he would try
all sorts of cross-cuts. ford streams and
lump any number of fences to reach an
other road rather than go back and take
a fresh start. If he had been in the
place of the famous apprentice boy who
wandered away from London, he would
never have been thrice mayor OF that
city. for with him Bow Bells would have
appealed to deaf ears when they chimed
out Turn again, Wilmington The
enemy who encountered him never failed
to feel the effect of this Unborn prejudice
against turning back
However, a Slight retrograde movement
became absolutely necessary in the pres
ent instance, and the general yielded to
the force of circumstances. An orderly
was stationed at the fork of the roads to
indicate the right direction to Warren, S
troops when they should reach that point,
and our party proceeded to Todd's tavern.

a mining broker, and Judge" Reeves
and Mr.. Scott. his associates. These
men, the brewer says, caused him to
spend nearly a thousand dollars upon
them because of their representations
to have mining property for sale
Palmer claimed, in his complaint,
that Holman represented himself as
the head of syndicate of brewers who
wanted gold mines and that upon his
promise to buy the property at Bowie,
Ariz., for 100000 he spent $3.50 to
prove the mine was uD to the pros
pectus. He says Hofmann then
backed out, and would not pay his eX-
penditure on his account.
Mr.. Holman saws he wanted to buy
a mine, and the broker said he had the
Bowie property listed for 100000 and
would agree to send an expert to Am
iona to examine it. Mr.. Bruell, spec
ialist. was given the mission, and he
was instructed to go under the name
of j. +. Fowler. to hide his identity.
When he reached the mine, Mr.. O'Con-
nor, it is said, refused to let him ex-
anime the property.
The mine owner, however, knew Mr..
Buell. and allowed him to examine the
property, and came back to Chicago
with him. That was several months
ago. In the Office of the brewery both
men met Palmer and his friends and

them as swindlers and imposters. Hof-

GREAT MINE FLOODED.
Millions of Dollars Lost by the

Gfbsonville, Cal. Dec. 3O.-The cele-
brated Thistle Shaft mine, formerly
known as the Feather Fork, which is
owned by a syndicate of Scotch capt.
alsts and valued at millions, is rap
idly filling up with water, and may
have to be abandoned. The timbers
are falling in and no effort with pumps
can make any impression on the rising
flood. The water vein was struck
few days ago and the influx was so
sudden that the miners narrowly es-
capped with their lives. The Thistle
Shaft employs 100 men and has been
one of the most constant producers
of gold-bearing gravel in Sierra county
for many years. a disaster similar
to this flooded the Allison Ranch mine,
near Grass Valley, 2S years ago, since
when the shaft has been deserted.
