outright at 20. OF course the price was
ridiculous one, but Gould did not hest
tate. The offer was accepted. ana he had
two and a half millions in cash at his
bankers.
The possession Of the $4,000 shares OF
Western Union enabled the syndicate TO
make an enormous profit on that stick.
But their satisfaction was not long lived.
With the money he obtained from the sale
Gould was enabled to advance the price
OF his other stock, Missouri Pacific, from

selling enormous amounts of this stock

Western Union went to pay the difference
IN Missouri Pacific. They lost millions Of
dollars of their own money also. Gould
turned the tables on them completely and
In a wink he was as rich as he ever had
been.
The finesse of this coup of the Little
Wizard can hardly be understood except
by Wall street men. The real secret OF
the manoever lay in the weakness that
Gould perceived when the syndicate pro-
posed to buy stock from him. He judged
that they had been selling what they did
not possess-rightly as it turned out-and
devoted every penny he had to cornerinS

The leading mining districts of this

activity, are the Delamar and Silver city
districts of Owyhee county and the Occur

first two produce gold and silver bullion.
the silver predomnating, but there Is
sufficient gold to make the industry very
profitable. Within these districts are
number of mines which have few or no
equals in the west for richness and guam
tity of ore beds.
The foregoing applies equally well to the
great silver-lead output over the previous
year, Notwithstanding the continued dull
market for the product. The Murray dis
trict is also in ShOshone county The
placer grounds of this locality show no
abatement, the output of which is steady
and very substantial. The gOld-bearing
quartz mines are also quite productive and
are very promising in character
The Warren district of Idaho county is
fast taking the lead in profitable quartz
and placer mining. This district Will add
materially to the production of the state
for the ensuing year.
The many good lodges in Boise and Lem
hi counties have developed within the
year TO such an extent that their prof
liable operation is no longer a question.
The Seven Devils district, in Washing
ton county, is exceedingly rich in copper,
but has been developed meagerly on ac-
count of the lack of transportation.
The flour gold, to be found in great
quantities on the famous Snake river, has
attracted unusual attention and has con-
tributed largely to the increased produc-
ton of the state.

that the withdrawal of the concern meant
the dissolution of the pool. That dis

The local officers of the Carnegie Steel
company and Illinois Steel company said
that they knew nothing about the rumor
that the pool was insolvent. They added
that one insignificant concern had with
drawn from the pool after the discovery
had been made that it had violated the
agreement to maintain prices, etc. That
concern has sent out notices to customers
that it had withdrawn from the poll and
that was the only basis there was for
the story that the pool was about to dis
solve. fsf

HIS HOLINESS DIsPLEAsED.
With the Reports Relative to Bishop

With the Reports Relative to Bishop
Keane's Being Deposed.
Baltimore Nd, Dec. S.S-Cardinal Glib
bons is in receipt of an official letter from
the pope informing his eminence that his
holiness has appointed Rev. Thomas ].
Conaty, D. D., of Worcester, Mass, rec
tor of the Catholic University at Wash
ington, d. c., to succeed Rt Rev. Bishop
Keane.
Father Conaty arrived here this morn
ing and is now the cardinals guest at
the archiepiscopal residence. 1t has not
yet been decided just when Father Conaty
will assume his new position, but the
date will be arranged at conference to
be held at the cardinals residence tomor-
row. 1t may be said, however, that the
newly appointed rector of the university
will be installed before the end of the
year. probably between Christmas and
the new year
Together with the pope's letter Car
dinal Gibbons received from Cardinal
Rompalla, letter giving expression of
esteem which his holiness entertains for
Bishop Keane, and severely condemning
as misr representations and calumnies the
rltmors spread by evil minded persons
that the former rector had incurred the
displeasure of the holy see, and that some
of the professors of the university were
to be removed.
The same letter, moreover, expresses
the desire of the holy father that Bishop
Keane should come to Rome where he
would be received and treated with
honor.
