Consolidated Mining Company.

PRESIDENTS REPORT.
SAN Francisco, Oct. 10, 1895.
GESrLEMES The perusal OF the re-
ports herewith banded you will give .
very clear insight into the past years
business.
Quite g good deal OF prospect work has
been done in the mine during the past
year, including The running OF Q tunnel
over 400 feet. and in which, whilst moth
ing tangible has been developed up 70
date, the work ought TO be continued
until we reach such q point where we osn
reasonably expect . development which
might yield 9 large quantity Of ore.
IL must be remembered that the Eureka
mines have never discontinued extracting
ore on account Of the low price Of silver.
Our ores have always contained sufficient
gold and lead TO yield . profit, even
though the price Of silver be low. How
ever, had this commodity brought nearer
its value, il would have made . material
difference in the years result.
Owing 10 the above facts, I would
recommend the continuing Of this devel-
opment work, TO do which, however, will
necessitste a call on the stockholders be-
fore long.
We had q small amount Of cash on
hand. which through economy has lasted
quite some time, owing TO the fact that
everything is run at the lowest possible
cost, and which it is necessary to continue
doing.
Begretting that a more glowing account
for the year cannot be given, I refer you
for particulars to the Secretary's and
Superintendent's reports.
Respectfully submitted,
WIN. FRIES, President.

AT THE PRIMARIES.
One Man Killed and Two Wounded at
Burton Mo-

Fayette, Mo-, May 3.-The demo-
Gratis of Howard county held their
primary election Saturday to nomi
nate officers, and the rivalry between
the candidates and their friends
at some of the precincts was bitter
and intense. Especially was this
the case at Burton in the northeast
ern portion of the county. James
Dennis had been especially abusive
toward the supporters of others than
his friends all day, and having drank
heavily he was aching for trouble.
About the time the polls closed, J..
W. Dougherty member Of the fac.
ton opposed to tho Dennis crowd
took exceptions to Dennis remarks,
whereupon Dennis struck him on
the head with brick, and at the
same instant James Dougherty, a
brother Of j. W. Dougherty, shot
Dennis twice. Dennis proved game
however,and seriously wounded both
the Dougherty brothers before he
expired. Many shots were exchang
ed by members of both factions. but
none of the others on either side
were wounded.
The Dougherty brothers though
seriously wounded, we're brought to
Fayette on a hand car Saturday
night, as the officers believed their
presence in Burton would create
more serious trouble. At the Coro
ner's inquest held Sunday morning
the jury rendered a verdict in &C
cordance with the above facts
Further trouble is expected.

Tillman's speech as a remarkable
performance" and expressed doubt
as to whether he did not err in max

fine himself to some of the gratuit-
GUS and uncalled for and undignifed
remarks of Ibis friend that loved
