THE WEST MERcUR.

Western slope Group That Pro-
misses to Come to the Front.
A great deal of work is now being
done on what is generally known as
the western slope, in Camp Floyd dis
trict, and claim holders there feel much
encouraged over the fact that geolog-
zeal surveys have demonstrated the
fact that the Mercur vein, after break
ing on the divide just west of this
great producer. changes its dip. and

valley below is reached, the formation.
with its black shale and other charac-
teristics being almost identical with
that on the other or eastern side of the
range.
1t is on the western slope, on the line
of the ore zone on which the Mercur.
Golden Gate and Sacramento mines are
located, that the West Mercur Gold
Mining company is developing a group
OF seven claims known as the Granite
group. This property was located in
the fall of 1893, when the locators had
their choice and pick of most of the
ground IN that locality, and although
but little work has been done on the
group during the past few wears
enough has been done, and on proper-
ties adjacent, to prove that the ground
is most favorably located as regards
the continuity of the great blanket
vein of the district.
The West Mercur has been developed
SO far by sixty-foot shaft, the bot
tom Of which is in the black shale that
is a popularity of the district. ard
which generally forms the capr:ng for
the ore body. To continue this work
and thoroughly develop the property a
contract has just been let for the sink
ing of the shaft to an additional hun
dred feet, and it is believed that the
ore zone will be cut at a depth of about
hundred feet, it being the intention

mer, and as the company has ample

funds in the treasury. and are fully
able otherw&e to carry on the work,
there is but little doubt but that be-
fore the season is over the connection
will be made.
The West Mercur company is a
strong one, and while but little has
been said of it in the press, claim own
ers there have been Saving wood
and Saying nothing" for some time
past, but as the western slope comes
more and more into prominence it can
not be long now before the West Mer-
cur and other claims in that locality
will receive the publicity they deserve.
The officers of the company are COM
posed OF well known citizens as follows:
A. Murphy, president; Frederick Earl,
vice president; S. W. Eccles, treasurer,
and B. T. Lloyd, secretary, and these,

ing yesterdays call on the floor Of the
Mining exchange, and a goodly list of
stocks came in for their share Of popu-
lar favor.
The market, however, was not a
strong one ard prices as a general
thing ruled low, as but few of the
listed stocks held their own against
the combined assault of the bears who
made a great scattering when turned
loose among the unlisted companies.
Anchor, which was slaughtered SO
numerically the previous day. stiffened
up considerably in the offerings; but
the only bid was at so cents.
Ajax, while not especially active,
held ITS own in the bidding and sold
a hundred shares at 81. At the open
ing it was announced that hereafter
the secretary of the company would
make a charge of % cents for trans
fering, which fact may have had
bearing on the number of sales made.
-Four Aces was quiet, closing at 80
cents bid and 81 asked.
There was considerable inquiry for
Horn Silver, but bids of sos failed to
bring out any stock; while bids of S3.20
for fifty shares were equally ineffec-
tive.
Mercur opened at $3.50 bid and 50
asked, but after considerable spanning
on the part of the brokers. sales were
chronicled at $3.50 and $6.S5.
Mammoth failed to make any special
showing, as anticipated, and sold at
1915. This, however, is a gain of Sc
cents a share since the first of the
week, which is as good a showing as
any stock has made since the opening
Of the exchange.
Sunshine was inactive, closing at 81. 40
bid, and 1915 asked.
Utah made considerable Of an ad-
vance and found a buyer at s1.G5.
The unlisted stocks were scattered
right and left by the bears, and a
number of them were unloaded at cut
rates
Dalton was sacrificed at 6A cents,
while Rover made sales at 2S. At the
close, however, the latter stock was
wanted at 3212 cents without any re-
sponses from holders.
Swansea, which has been stationery
during the week, though firm, sold
reaQlly at Sl.i9.
Richmond & Anaconda suffered with
the other stocks in the genera decline
and made transfers at 434.
Little Pittsburg was included in the
same list, and recorded sales at 212
cents.
An effort is being made to corral the
few shares of Northern Light now
floating about. and 300 shares were
picked up at figures varying from STA
to so cents.
The stock of the Philadelphia Gold
and Silver Mining company opened
with ar offering at 80 cents: but the
bears soon hammered it down to /
cent, u. Il and finally to Il of a cent,
shares changed hands.
The market during the week has
been on the fever and ague order, as
some days there would be marked &C
tivity on the floor of the exchange. and
quotations would rule high On other
days but little interest would be ex-
nibited and popular stocks would be
sllshted
One feature of the call during the
week was the almos I phenomenal ad-
vance in Mammoth, which, for few
days, caused considerab excitement
among the brokers. Ajax also took
sudden jump and closed strong at the
dollar mark, or a little above Tho
unlisted stocks. however, were but
lightly dealt in, unless at declining
figures.
The sales for the week were as fol-

Proposition to Establish Home
Discussed at Denver

Proposition to Establish a Home
Discussed at Denver.
DENVER, May 16.-The convention
of the Western Federation of Miners,
after full discussion of the proposition
to establish a home for invalid miners,
decided to give local unions an oppor-
tunity to discuss the matter, and in
that manner every member of the or
der will have an opportunity to make
known his views. Their action will
be referred to the executive committee
and if the majority favor the building
of the home, ground will be purchased
at once and the building begun.
There was a long discussion today
regarding salary of general organizers,
but no action was taken. The dele
gates adjourned until Monday, after
deciding to attend Broadway temple
in a body tomorrow and hear a sermon
by Rev. Myron Reed.

sAToLu|'S SUCCESSOR
Nothing Known by the Cardinal Of His Ru-
morea Selection.
Father MartineIN II Head of q Great
Catholic Order and . Man
Of Strang Powers.

No announcement has been received at
the papal legation DIM this city conirmatory
OF the press dispatch from Rome which
stated that Pope Leo had appointed Rev.
Sebastian MartineM. superior general Of
the order of the Angustinians. as apostolic
delegate to succeed Cardinal Satolli. Mgr.
Sbaretti. the auditor Of the legation. told
Star reporter today that nothing was
known there of the rumored appointment,
nor had the cardinal received any news on
the subject.
Many influential Catholics who are famil-
lar with the customs of the vatican are not
inclined to believe that the pope has def
nitely decided upon Father Martinellrs ap-
pointment. Those who hold this opinion
point out that Cardinal Satolii has not been
informed OF the name of his prospective
successor. and say that while such an i'm
portant Office is involved the policy of the
pope has always been to indicate to the re-
firing dignitary who his successor will be
before the information is made public to
the world at large 1t Ia generally conced-
ed that If tie dispatch Is true Pope Leo
mas made an excellent selection. Father
Martinelli Is sixty years Of age, a native of
Italy. theologian of rare attachments and
Intimately familiar with the foreign policy
OF the vatican. He has been superior gen.
eral Of the Augustinians for several years,
and two years ago he visited this country
on missionary tour. He made q lasting
impression on the dignitaries Of the church
In this country, and left behind him when
he returned to Rome high reputation for
intellectual brilliancy, great personal mag
netlsm and charming manners. He spent
a large portion of his time while in this
country at the retreat of the Augustinians
at Bryn Mawr Pa. Father Martinelli is
fine linguist and fluent English scholar.

A dispatch from New York published in
The Star of yesterday stated that the trial
trip of the new air motors on the Sd ave-
nue. line of that city was eminently salts
factory and that according to the report
of those in charge the new motive power
performed all that was claimed for it.
AS this is the same sort OF car which,
according to the statement to a Star re-
porter by Mr.. Dolan of the Elkins- Widener
syndicate, Is to be placed on the Ecking-
ton and Soldiers Home and Belt Line rail-
ways of this city a description of it will
be doubtless interesting.
The car is twenty-eight feet long, It's
body being twenty feet long and the re-
manning eight feet being occupied by the
two platforms. 1t has seating capacity
for twenty-eisht passengers, and when it's
compressed air ard hot-water tanks are
charged it can run sixteen miles without
recharging and is capable of attaining a
speed of fifteen miles an hour
The motcrman controls the machinery
with little lever only six inches long,
valves. by which the pressure of the mo-
tive power on the engine cylinder, usually
$50 pounds to lie square inch, is regu-
lated.
A movement Of the lever one inch to the
right let's off the brakes and starts the
car, while movement one inch to the left
puts on the brake and stops the car, and
further movement to the left starts the
car backward. These movements can be
made so eisily and the car started, stop
ped or backed quickly that it is con-
tended danger of accident is reduced to a
minimum.
The wheels and the hot water and COM
pressed-air tanks, which are underneath
the car, are concealed by drop or cur
tain composed of Stats of wood. The pat
entees of the new power assert that their
cars can be run more economically than
any other kind now in USE

DECLARED GUILTY.
The Woman Who Threw Lye OF
Policemen.

The Woman Who Threw Lye ON
Policemen.
The case Of Laura Buckner the South
Washington colored woman charged with
assaulting Sergeant Daley and Poll ceman
Greer OF the fourth precinct by throwing
I've IN their faces and seriously injurIrg
them. was concluded in the Police Court
late yesterday afternoon. The case has at
tracted a great deal Of interest owing to
the fact that 1t seemed to involve the ques-
tion of the right of the police to enter
house without warrant. Some days ago
the Buckner woman was acquitted on the
charge Of selling liquor without license,
and the opinion was freely expressed that
the assault case would also end in ar ac
Quittal on the ground that the woman had
the right to protect her premises under the
circumstances.
The jury thought differently, however,
and returned verdict OF guilty for each
offense. Judge Miller sentenced the defend
ant to ten months Imprisonment in Jail for
each assault.
The trial was an Interesting one and was
bitterly fought by .he lawyers for the de-
Tense, who sought to bring out on every
possible occasion the fac: that when Ser
geant Daley and his men made the raid on
her place they were without a warrant and
had no right to enter by force. The test:
mony differed greatly as to what occurred
inside the house after the police entered.
Laura and her witnesses ali insisted that
the police had acted with the greatest
cruelty, and that before they were through
the defendant had been badly beaten about
the head either with policemans club or
with a blackjack. The Jail physician, on
the other hand, testified that when she was
received at the Jail her injuries were not
serious enough to Heed treatment. AS TO
what had happened 10 Daley and Greer
there was no question. The physician who
attended them testified that they were bad
ly burned about the face and body by the
I've that was thrown at them by the .nfuri-
ated woman. Daley, who was the more
seriously injured Of The two. was confined
to the hospital for more than a week and
came very near losing his eyesight
In his charge to the jury Judge Miller
went at some length into the matter of the
regulations that guide policemen In making
arrests. He said that il Daley actually
saw the defendant in the act of violating
the liquor law he had right TO enter the
house and put her under arrest, and when
they were once inside the woman had no
right to use such summary measures as
she had done. If she knew that they were
policemen in the performance Of their duty
then her actions Constituted an assault.
The jury was out for an hour, and then
returned a verdict TO the effect that The
defendant had exeeeded her rights and
was guilty of the offense charged.
