ONE HUNDRED PERSONS BURIED
IN GREATER NEW YORK
YESTERDAY.
Morgues' are All Crowded-Impossible
to Keep Track of Prostrations
From the Heat-Outdoor Work
Suspended-People Die by Scores
in Chicago.

New York, Aug. 10.-The number Of
deaths caused by the heat in Greater
New York is 100, and additional vic
tins are being reported hourly.
The prostrations are almost innum,
cradle, and no accurate statement OF
them can be made. Ambulances and
patrol wagons have been running
about all day, the sound of their gongs
becoming familiar. Street car horses
have dropped into their tracks by
scores. Out of door work has been
largely suspended and many factories
temporarily closed.
Last night was the hottest of the
summer. the climax OF the present tor
rid spell, and one of the hottest known
in the city for years.
Morning brought no relief. and at 8
a. m. the thermometer stood at so. five
degrees higher than at the same hour
Sunday, but as the humidity was less
intense than on the preceding day.
there vas less discomfort in the atmos-
phere. Early in the morning there was
but so per cent of humidity. which Is
rather below the normal.
The maximum temperature. 80 de-
grees. was reached at 4 y. m.
These readings we're taken on top of
one OF the highest buildings in the city.
Street temperature taken in the shade,
at a point near the center of the city,
was Sc at 9 a. m, rose to 81 at II, to 80
at l p. m. to 1902 at 4. and mad fallen
to 90 and further dropped to SO at 9
p. m.
GREAT SUFFERING.
Suffering has been most intense IN
the tenement section where poorer peo-
pie r unable to get breathing space.
In these sections the charitable organi-
sations have had their hands full many
infants and children succumbing to
sunstroke.
The hospitals are obliged to call on
the police department to aid them in
responding to calls. as their ambu-
lances could not cope with the number
o. cases reported. So police patrol
wagons were pressed into service to
carry heat victims to the hospitals.
Many other wagons were used to
carry away dead and disabled animals.
At midnight there was no relief from
the strain of the past week. and on
thousands of roofs city jewellers were
trying to get sleep.

MY name is Harvey C. Penny. l was
stabbed about IN hour ago by a man
working at Elliott's Favorlte dairy. We
were milking at the time, just getting

Large Sales.

Several important deals in Rainy
Lake gold properties were closed in
Tower last week. The most notable
one was that by which the English
syndicate which has held an option
for the last six months on the Kelly
Mosher property on Seine river &C
quired it by the payment OF $50, 900 to
the owners. This is the highest price
yet paid for any land in the district,
and may be taken as evidence of the
increasing favor with which the gold
fields are looked upon. The land sold
comprises three locations of forty
acres each, known as A. L. ITO and
Ill, and 223. There are three veins
on the property, each traceable for
300 feet or over, all panning gold
freely. Except stripping, there has
been no work done save on one vein,
on which shaft fifty feet deep has
been sunk, showing vein averaging
forty inches wide, and assaying $40 in
gold per ton. The English company
was represented by w. D. Ferguson,
associate r. S. NJ, but q favorable
report on the property was made last
fall by Prof. w. Hamilton Merritt, OF
the Toronto school Of mines.
