The 10Th Century Girl.

The new woman has struck the circus.
MIR. j. A. Bailey has found her and could
not Withstand her Establishments, 80 the
genuine American twentieth century girl
with all her charming, progressive, up
to-date, loneliness and grace, is placed on
the back OF speeding horse, with an
other lady as ringmaster and still another
as clown, with several more as object
holders. IL makes an exceedingly pretty
and delightfully."- novel equestrian act, and
Is executed simultaneously with two
other long skirt riding acts-the serpen-
tine and skirt dances, 10th of which are
also performed on the backs of running
horses in the Barnum Il Bailey Greatest
Show on Earth. Two lady clowns and
ringmasters are two more decided novel;
ties, while the charming entertainment
OF Oriental India with Its strange nations
Is one OF the most picturesque and re-
freshlng exhibitions ever seen. In the
aerial enclave are several dives from lofty
heights, the performers turning triple
eomersaults on the way down, while the
human arrows fight through the air,
after being shot from cross bow, Is not
only conspicuous novelty, but
one OF great daring as well. The aerial
acts are wonderful and thrilling. The
whole exhibition, too, Is filled with comic
and ludicrous performances as side issues,
so that the circus this year contains more
novelties than ever before. The menag-
cries are filled with new and strange
animals, many of which are positively
stated to have never been seen before,
and with them are three herds of "a ele-
plants, two.droves of caruels, a flock of
ostriches, Johanna. the gorilla, a blue
nosed mandrill, 30 trained horses that
perform in one ring at one time. In the
entertainment OF Oriental India the idea
of illustrating the lengendary and ro-
mantle history of the country'has been
faithfully carried Cut fer -the-very
temples, huts, weapons, costumes, and
musical instruments of the natives are
all used just the same, and by the identi-
cal people of the Orient. The whole un-
divided show will be here on Monday,
June 22, and will present all its novel
features and attractions in three rings,
on three stages, and racing track. be-
sides the aerial apparatus One hundred
acts will be given. The great street par
ade will take place in the morning and I'm

Elevator Controversv.

Chicago. Nov. 1S.-In the elevator con-
troversy, which was resumed before
Judge Tuley today, Attorney Henry Rob-
bins. representing the board of trade in
terests. advanced a novel and startling
proposition. The evidence which affirms
the basis of his argument was presented
today 1t consists of tables compiled from
the reports of the warehouse commission
and covering the period from 1873 TO 1896.
The proposition which the attorney Will
urge is that the big elevator men of Chi
cago are responsible for the general de-
preston Of the wheat market Accord
ing to Attorney Robbins, these tables
show that the immense amount of grain
kept constantly in store in Chicago ele-'
vauors accounts for the depression of the
market. The object of the elevator men
in keeping this grain in stock is, Mr..
Robbins argues, to keep prices low, so as
10 reduce the amount of capital invested.
The controversy between the warehouse
men and the board of trade began a year
and half ago, when the board of trade
sought to prevent the warehouse men
from dealing in grain in the open mar
ket. 1t was claimed that the latter were
violating their charter privileges, as they

with depth a solid body of this ore
viii be encountered Being firmly i'm
pressed with this opinion the owners OF
this property have just let a contract
for the sinking of a 100-foot shaft in
its development, and it is the intention
to form stock company Within a
short time so that the mine can be
worked to better advantage. AS the
present head of the unorganized COM
pany, the colonel will be the president
of the new organization as soon as ii
is Incorporated, and he is fully salts
fed that before the roses come again
the property will be on shipping
basis.
Nearly all the mines of the camp,
according to the colonel, are looking
well. with fine bodies of ore exposed
to view in their workings, and, in his
opinion, all that is needed now to give
an impetus to the growth of the
district is the installation of mill
for the treatment of the ores of the
camp, as the long distance from the
railroad prohibits the shipping of any
thing but the richest ores.
The colonel mentions particularly
the Drake & Lambert mine as an
Illustration of the value of the camp.
On this ground, he says, there is a tuu-
mel that is in distance of 165 feet. in
the face of which there is a 14-fOot
body of ore that assays from S25 to
$500 in gold to the ton, and it is all
free milling: and as work progresses
on this and the other mines of the
district, the ore zones are growing
larger. and at the present time there
seems to be no doubt as to the perma-
nency of the ore deposits.
Line City, wfich is the hub of the
district, is growing rapidly and can
now boast of about 20 houses, and it is
believed that by spring the little town
will have more than doubled in size.
Colonel Cory and his two sons,
George and Rome, left for the south

its contract with it and that hereafter
the electric company would not look
to the gas company for its supply of
this needful commodity.
1t is well known in this city that it
is the gas company that has the fran
chise from the city for the right to
furnish consumers with gas, and that
the electric company has been oper-
ating under this franchise, and no
other; and the suppositioa would be
that the resembling of the contract
as above noted would carry with it
the privilege of the franchise; but it
seems otherwise, as it is understood
that the company expects TO continue
the delivery of natural gas, which
supply is to be derived from the wells
owned by H. L. Driver and his asso-
ciates.
Some two months ago, The Herald
is informed, the electric company re-
quested the gas company to sink
deep well. which request has been
complied with, but while this work
has been going on the gas company
made ARRANGEMENTS with the Driver
people to maintain the gas supply as
the gas company could not sink a
new we'll and at the same time keep
its flowing wells from clogg;ng up.
This new well is now down to the depth
of 1.200 feet, and it is stated that the
gas reservoir IS JUS about to be tapped
ana that even now the volume is such
that a light can be obtained by hold
ing a lighted candle overs the top of
the well, and it is believed that within
a short time a fine flow will be en-
countere6.
1t has not been stated what steps
the gas people viii take in the matter
but it is the general opinion that it
viii invoke the aid of the courts to
prevent the electric company from con-
tinuing business without a franchise.
