writer claims attention with this one:
Quite an odd find was happened upon
one day last week by Jack Lopez, who
is spending the summer at Swarthmore
Pa. The house which has been taken
by the family Is used in the winter as
a boarding school for girls, but was
originally private house. While tax
ing look over the place, Lopez found
in the cellar an old well that was
boarded over and had a trapdoor, with
an old-fashioned paddock Thinking
the place might be utilized as cold
storage, he tried to raise the trap. that
had evidently not been touched for
years. Not before breaking the lock
was he able to get it open, and then he
found the we'll too deep to see the bot
tom. With the aid Of rope and Ian
tern he discovered that there was some
thing moving in the water, and after
keeping very quiet for a moment saw
what looked like fish swimming near
the surface. AS an experiment he de-
cided to do some angling, and soon had
a piece of string with bent pin and q
worm down the well. In ten minutes
he had caught twenty-Cne fish and then
decided to go out of the dark cellar and
examine his catch. They proved to be
fish of the trout variety, but the oldest
part of it was that all were eyeless and
snow white. How they came there and
what kept them alive is a mystery that
none of the residents seem able to
solve. but the fish are plentiful and are
good eating. so Mr.. Lopez is satisfied

DR.. James O. Quicker has been arrested

Pittsburg, Aug. 23.-This morning
the striking miners encamped at Turtle
Creek stole a march on the deputies
guarding the Oak Hill mine. While
the deputies We're watching for de.
tachment OF campers to appear on the
road to the mines, the strikers were
making long detour so as to approach
the mouth of the pit from the other
side, and they succeeded in getting
there without being observed. When
the deputies commanded by Deputy
Sheriff Hanna appeared, Il copy of the
injunction was read to John Large,
leader of the strikers, and they left the
place.
The strikers express the belief that
one of the mines TO be operated by the
mineowners in their effort to break
the strike will be the Plum Creek mine,
and that the miners now at work at
Oak Hill and Sandy creek will be taken
to Plum Creek and the other two mines
closed down. To offset this move the
strikers will go to camp at Plum Greek.
Everything WAS quiet about Plum
Creek this morning. The strikers fol-
lowed out the programme outlined by
Captain Bellingham, and sent men
singly and in pairs to patrol the roads.
The deputies did not interfere with
them.

letter says is kept under the strictest

The first great excitement. of course

and death are mingled with the tales

craZes. These came when the news was
brought to the almost exhausted gold

the miners set out to find the new
riches.
Probably the widest stampede ever
known in the southwest was that to

The region is 5000 feet above the sea

the news went abroad that Hank Bin

when samples of the ore were seen by

upset the stuff on her clothes. In a

hardships that the fortune seekers Suf-
fered in the mountains will never be

coming out of the warm, balmy. air Of
the semi-tropic valleys lost their lives
amid the snow banks and ice in the
mountains, and many man was made

were slowly trudglng through them
In one party of 100 men from New
Mexico four men were frozen to death
one morning. and it is thought that
fully twenty more died in the same
way in the mountains at that time. To
this day there are in California and
Arizona gray-headed miners who lack
q finger. a toe or an ear lost in the ter
riblc cold of that stampede.
When at last the Rocky Belle dig
gings were reached it was soon seen
that there was nc ore in the district
worth the digging except in the claims
held by Hank Rinford and his friends
and that the reports of their finds had
been exaggerated beyond all reason

year or two later. and he got only a

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing. Hopkins & Company's Review
of Trade.

OF
Wheat sold at above 81 per bushel in
all Eastern markets during the past
week and there are prospects for much
higher prices in the future.
The marked and rapid advance in
values during the week must be at.
tributed to legitimate influences.
Speculation played but a minor part in
causing the advance The export de-
mand has been the principal factor in
advancing values. Che general posi-
ton of supplies is considerably stronger
than week ago. The European re-
quirements for American wheat as
estimated by Bradstreet are now 1872. =
600, 900 bushels as compared with pre-
vious estimate of 100, 900, 900 bushels.
Estimates of American exportable sur
plus have been somewhat reduced ow-
ing to general unfavOrable thrashinp
returns from the spring wheat crop of
the Northwest. In this connection
while America must be congratulated
upon having il bounteous crop of wheat
with which to meet the increased ex-
port requirements, it must not be over
looked that reserves from previous
crops of spring and winter wheat are
almost entirely exhausted. 1t will he
impossible to meet any such export de-
mand as estimated by European stats.
TEXANS and also establish normal re-
serves in America. Conditions of sup
ply and demand therefore apparently
warrant still higher values, but the
rapldity of the advances has momen-
tarily checked the export demand and
some reaction is probable. There are
several purely speculative conditions
that may upset expectations and result
In an unnatural advance. Stocks of
wheat are abnormally small. The Eu-
ropean shortage has encouraged large
speculative purchases. The advance
in values has reduced short selling.
The result is IL congested market, es-
pecially for September deliveries. The
forward movement of the winter wheat
crop has been small considering the
large sales for export, and it is now too
late for any material accumulation of
wheat in this market until after Sep
TENDER. We can only conclude after
careful consideration that while tenn
porary reaction is naturally to be ex-
pected, present values are fully war;
ranted, higher values will obtain later
and that wheat should be bought on all
recessOns.
