SMUGGLING SPIRITS.
Cases of whisky and Brandy Found
In the Center of Casks of Sugar
Billed to Alaska.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Oct 20.
I'm discharging the damaged cargo
yesterday from the steamship Umatilla,
which recently ran on the rocks near
this port, another Alaskan smuggling
scheme was exposed. In the cargo
was a large consignment of barreled
sugar destined to a leading Alaska
firm. The action of the salt water
melted the sugar. and in the center of
each barrel was found large case of
spirits An investigation reveals the
fact that in recent months large
quantity of supposed sugar has been
shipped to Alaska, and it is now reck-
oned that thousands of gallons of
whisky and brandy have been snug
gled into the territory in this manner.

CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-Affairs were not
morning, which, however, did not de-
stroy all confidence in yet better prices.
But when fractions are constantly
dropped from the quotations it re-
quires believers in an advance to draw
on their ~aserve funds of faith for en-
couragement. This was the situation
early today. Liverpool cables were far
from buoyant, while continental mar
kets did nothing more than keep in line
with our figures. Outside domestic
markets evinced q disposition to falter
and that was calculated to temper any
bullish proclivities here. Quite a little
long wheat was sold today, the demand
being quite tame as compared with the
furore of yesterday. Receipts in the
northwest were heavy at 1,137 cars
against / ABB last Tuesday and LABS a
year ago. Chicago received 277 cars
and inspected out 10000 bushels. Elk
port clearances amounted to 1876, l25
bushels. Bradstreets report on the
worlds stocks was not issued today.
The market improved later in the
session on reported sales for export to
Lisbon and on the Importation of So
100000 in gold. Quite furry occurred
during the closing moments when an
advance of 31s cents from the inside
was recorded. December wheat opened
from 77B TO T71e, sold between 1871 ana
1873, closing at 7S3s-1c. higher than
yesterday Estimated receipts for to-
morrow, 312 cars.
Oats.-The action of oats was not a
matter OF individual merit or inclina-
ton, but rather depended on whether
the other grains were weak or strong.
AS the former tone predominated else
where. so did 1t in oats. Receipts were
495 ears, and $4,000 bushels were taken
from stock. a fair recovery was noted
near the close. May oats closed I'M
changed Estimated receipts for to-
morrow, 4i2 cars.
Flax was easier Cash, 10 to Az; De-
cember, rs to 7714; May, SO1s to S312.
Receipts were lis cars.
Provisions.-Product was quiet, gem

CALL OF UNLISTED STOCKS.
THE SILVER KING EXTENSION.
Fine Showing in n Big Cottonwood
Gold and Silver Mine.


Otto Hudson left for Mineral Fork,
Big Cottonwood, this morning for the
purpose of directing work on the Sill
yer King Extension mine, in which a
force of four men is now engaged in
taking out ore that assays from TO
20 per cent lead, As to II ounces silver,
and from s5.16 to SIG in gold to the ton
from an 1S-inch pay streak.
The Silver King Extension has been
developed by a 500-foot tunnel, in the
driving of which the ledge was en-
countered at distance of 200 feet, and
for 800 feet, the tunnel has been run
on ore that carries from So to IS in
gold, and test is now being made
to see if this low gree ore cannot be
worked at a profit, and if it can, a
plant will be put in for its reduction.
As it is, the mine is making ship
ments of a good grade of mineral. and
as the body of pay ore is constantly
increasing in size as work progresses,
the lessees of the property, Messrs.
Otto Hudson, II. NJ. Hadley and c. G.
Horsfel. can make continuous ore con-
signments from now on. unless a deal
now in contemplation natures, which
is nothing less than the incorporation
of a company for the more extensive
operation OF the property. The forma-
ton of this company is now almost as
sured, and the papers will doubtless be
filed some time this week, unless all
signs fail
There are three claims in the group,
as follows: The Silver King Exten-
sion, the Silver King No. and the
Louise. They are all valuable proper
ties, and when thoroughly developed,
as it is the intention of the new COM
pany to do. Big Cottonwood viii have

wheat In Washington.

TACOMA, Wash. Oct. 2O.-The rapid
advance in the price of wheat during
the past week has caused the farmers
of western Washington to rush their
grain to market as fast as the rail-
roads can carry it. Receipts at this
point now average So cars a day, with
prospects of heavy increase within
the next fortnight. The Northern Pa
cific railroad is increasing it's freight
service and adding to its car equip
ment to accommodate the rush. Con-
sentative estimates place the state crop
at 900 bushels. Cash wheat ad-
vanced cents on the local exchange
yesterday, making a total advance of
% cents since September /. No. blue
stem now brings II cents and No. 1
club 10 cents. Farmers are unloading
their product and paying off their
debts, and as a consequence money is
more plentiful than at any time dur
ing the past four years.

here for the purpose of organizing a
national federation of musicians, to be

near Diamond. Tintic, is showing up in
better shape than ever, and that a car
load of high-grade ore will soon be
shipped from this promising property.
a. p. Mayberry of Bingham, the super
intendent of the o. j. & G. mine, was in
the city yesterday. Since the completion
has been directed towards the cleaning
out of the old workings of the mine, SO
that 1t will be in readiness for ore extrac-
ton after election.
Mining matters are progressing finely
at La Plata and from all accounts this
camp will come to the front in great
shape next year. especially as some very
fine copper discoveries have been made
there this season. La Plata has all the
earmarks of developing into a wonderful
producer, and with silver and lead where
they should be. there is no doubt but that
this long-neglected district would make
most gratifying record.
The officers and directors of the South
Swansea Mining company viii meet at
Silver City today for the purpose of TAX
ing action on the proposition of a we'll
known mining promoter TO buy the cap
ital stock of the company at dollar a
share. 1t is understood that the individ-
ual stockholders, as general thing, are
opposed TO selling on this basis, and 1t is
believed that the company will refuse the
offer.
The Overland mine at Sunshine, con-
tinues to improve as work progresses,
and the outlook for the property is most
hattering. Already large amount OF
ore has been uncovered in this ground,
and it will not be long now before the
developments made will justify the cree
ton of mill. and his may come sooner
than is expected. The Annie mine, To-
Gated between Sunshine and Mercur. is
also in an encouraging condition, and as
soon as the election is over. it is believed
that the company Will begin to talk mill.
Manager Schenck OF the Dalton & Lark
mine. who came in from Bingham Mon
day night, informs The Herald that the
property of the company is in a most en-
couraging condition. At present, pros
pecting is being pushed from the face of
the 450-foot tunnel in the June Blossom
lode, which is on a level with the Lead
mine hoist. A croSs-cut is being run
from this tunnel, and in hundred feet
more a big chute of ore will be uncovered
at a vertical depth of 700 feet which
VIII give a large amount of good stop
ing ground in high-grade lead ore. The
other mines owned by the company are
showing up large bodies of shipping ore,
and a 300-ton shipment will be made
within few days that has been taken
out in doing development work only.

THE MINING ExCHANGE.
Unusual Demand For East Golden
Gnfe-Au Active MnrI.ef

The call on the floor of the mining
exchange yesterday was what might
be called red hot number" and the
sales list ran way up into the thou
sands.
AS usual. OF late, East Golden Gate
stock was the most active of the listed
shares and during the call of this
stock there was pdndemonium in the
pit and excitement ran high East
Golden Gate opened about as usual,
but it was not long before it was dis
covered that small blocks of the stock
would be tabooed, as the brokers were
out for whales and not for minnows.
1t did not take long, therefore, before
buyer and seller met on equal ground
and AT the first dash out Of the box
10000 shares had changed hands at 2ls
! cents share This was followed with
a block of 1000 shares at cents, and
later on another 1000 lot made trans
fers at "a cents.
At the opening of the call Ajax was
quite popular at advancing figures. but
no sales were chronicled. Bullion-Beck
was rather weak and suffered a slight
decline while DAILY was held at an
advance of 10 cents in the offerings but
was stationary in the bidding. DAILY
West made gains both in the bidding
and in the offerings, while Geyser and
-ntAGuI were ludc-lNe HI dDOul lllt QuO-
tations Of the previous day.
Mammoth was in good demand, and
the stock was a general favorite, $50
shares changing hands at sos and
$20712. Northern Light was also much
Sought after. The stock was very
firm at the price quoted and a, repeti-
ton of the bid failed to bring out any
more of the stock, block of which was
transferred at 40 cents.
Sunbeam also figured in the trading,
but at figures 10 cents below the sell
ing quotation of the day before. No
reason was assigned for this slump,
which came most unexpectedly. In
fact. the condition of the mine is such
that the reverse should have been the
case, and the only feasible reason that
can be advanced for the slump is that
some holder was badly pushed for
money and was forced to let go of the
stock at a loss. The Swanseas were
strong but stationary, and they re-
corded no sales.
The transactions of the day were as
follows:
SALES OF STOCK.
10000 East Golden Gate at 21h cents.
1000 East Golden Gate at cents.
1000 East Golden Gate at pa cents.
so Mammoth at $2.05
200 Mammoth at S2.071s.
200 Northern Light at IS cents.
800 Sunbeam at % cents
Total sales. 29,450 shares.
The closing quotations were as fol-

cially large, aggregating only 223, 800
shares, were well distributed, and with
a very few exceptions higher prices
were recorded all along the line
The main causes of the improvement
We're the engagement of over SIS coo, 900

to this SIDE and the fact the exchange
ruled barely steady, thus indicating
renewed imports of the yellow metal
in the near future.

shape.
The Niagara group is one of the most
valuable pieces of property to be found
in West Mountain mining district, and
if it can be developed so that it can be

there is no doubt but that it will be
classed among the greatest producers
