Chicago General Market.

Chicago, Jan. 26.-Wheat broke
sharply today Notwithstanding what
was construed as a bullish government
crop report. For some time the trade
has based operations on the theory
that the government would report a
yield of from 3O5, OO0O 900 bushels to $780,
600, 600 bushels for 1896. The figures
yesterday, placing the crop at 427. OOO.-
600 bushels. should have, according to
all rules of consistency, caused prices
to advance, but, on the contrary, as
is usually the case in speculation, the
unexpected happened and prices
slumped with rapidity.
May wheat opened from 70 to 1873,
sold between 1915 and 77ss, closing at
775s-1B@2 under yesterday. Esti-
mated receipts for tomorrow, 20 cars.
Oats.-May oats closed 3s under yes
terday. Estimated receipts for tomor-
row, 270 cars.
Provisions.-The hog market was ir-
regular. light grades showing strength
and others weakness. Product sympa-
thized with the latter and was also
affected by the action of the grain
markets. May pork closed 715@10 low
er. May lard 5@715 lower, and May
ribs 5 lower

proved during the day, and that stocks
had developed an upward tendency.
Mammoth was fairly active and sold
on the street at $3.50. Buckeye was

netting the company $3.50 TO the ton. An
1S-ton lot was also received from the
Utah mine which aSSayed 1886 per cent
lead and 141-2 ounces in silver to the ton.
The lot netted 5000 to the ton. Both of
these mines are making excellent records
and during the present year there is
every reason to believe that they will
pay regular dividends

NATIONAL BOARD OF TRADE.
In Session Now at Washington,
With Much Work Before It.

7. Washington, Jan. 26.-The national
board of trade began its twenty
seventh annual meeting here today.
Forty-one organizations were repre-
scented. The venerable president, Fred
erick Frawley of Philadelphia, was I'M
able TO be present, and Secretary Tuck
er called the meeting TO order.
The programme of subjects to be
acted upon embraces 80 resolutions and
recommendations, including especial
reference to banking and bankruptcy
laws: a joint resolution for the APP
pointment of an international monetary
commission: proposition 10 retire the
greenbacks and to create national
clearing house for banks.
Ex-Governor Standard Of ST. Louis
presided at the first session. which
was devoted largely to mapping out
programme and arranging the order IN
which the various subjects shall be
considered.
A resolution was adopted urging the
senate to approve the arbitration
treaty.
Frederick w Frawley of Philadel-
phia was reelected president and W.
r. Tucker secretary treasurer.
After adjournment the convention
went in a body to the arbitration meet
ing at the Grand Onera House

The majority of those who are ac-
quainted with the country about Frisco
believe the Horn Silver ledge runs to
the northwest along a canyon by the
Horn Silver's north air-shaft, and that
it extends to the Cupr property about
four miles northwest the Horn Sill
yer. This course VOL take {. e ledge
through the Massachusetts, in r-ober's
canyon, which is the pi operty of the
Cactus Mining company, now operat-
ing in Copper Guuch. Some very high
grade copper ore has been taken from
the Massachusetts, but the ledge was
lost and no work has been done on
it for several years.
Captain Couch of the Boston and
Montana, of Butte, holds to this theory.
Captain Couch was in Frisco three
years ago and endeavored to secure
the ground between the Horn Silver
and the Massachusetts along the Seye-
mite contract, but was unable to Sc
cure some patented ground on the
terms he offered He stated at the
time that he believed there was an
immense copper ledge running along
this contact and if he could have Sc
cured the ground wanted upon reason
able terms he would have driven a tun-
mel from the east side of the San
Francisco mountains until it tapped
this contact. Captain Couch was fore
man of the Horn Silver mine previous
to locating in Butte and thoroughly ia
miliar with the country about Frisco.
Should the Horn Silver company ever
determine to prospect for copper. the
mine will make record as a copper
producer that will make its past record
as lead producer appear insignificant.
The Cactus company has made a test
run of its new mill in Copper Gulch
and it is said the plant handles the
ores to the company's satisfaction. The
mill will be started in a few days and
kept in steady operation.

Three youths who have failed to fol-
low the scriptural injunction of son
go and do this thing We're missing
from their respective homes yesterday.
They were reported at police head
quarters as runawavs. Harry Kraut,
the youngest of the trio, turned up

Charles Atkinson, aged Is, and

Fisher accompanied Atkinson on his
ramble. Both were last seen about
noon on Monday at which time they
were in possession of about Sc. Their
parents believe that they are attempt

covered. The lessees are not shipping
at the present time, however, as they
are sinking the shaft TO the 400 foot
level, when drifts will be run in order
to open uD the ore bodies. The Ante
lope was at one time a heavy shipper
of very rich ore, and it is believed that
this season it will repeat its past his
tory.
According to Mr.. Lyons considerable
jumping was INDUCED in on the first
of the year, and he says that when
the new year came in the Alma and
the Monarch claims were covered with
monuments and location notices.
At the Crystal, in Cottonwood can
yon, it is understood that fine bodies
of ore have been uncovered, and it is
stated that it is likely that this prop
erty will begin the making of regular
shipments at an early date.
The hearing in the Wedge suit TO
decide the ownership of the property,
will probably come up the first of next
month.

Mike Monohan,s Copper.

Mike Monohan of Milford is a Gull
len guest.
Mr. Monohan has just returned from
Cocina county, Ariz., where for Il
years he has been interested in a
valuable group of copper claims, and
he informs The Herald that it is now
the intention of himself and co-Owners
to begin the development of these
mines, which in the past have made
records as producers. There are ten
claims in the group, and now that
there is such a demand for copper
and the quotation on this metal has
advanced. he believes that it is high
time that something was being done
with the property.
Mr. MOnOhan speaks very highly of
the State Line district in Iron county
and he is firm in the belief that in
time this will make one of the greatest
gold camps in the state.
In speaking of the district, Mr.. Mono
han says that during the past few
weeks Henry Emerson and Thomas
Kelly have made one of the richest
strikes in the camp on their claims.
The find, he states, embraces a fine
body OF high grade ore. and already
capitalists have made them an offer
for the property.
One of the Rice Boys of State Line
came in on yesterdays train, accom-
panied by r. !. Nugent, who has just
secured a bend on a group of claims
owned by the brothers. 1t is stated
that the bond calls for the payment
of something over 100000 and that
Mr. Nugent has paid q handsome sum
down as a forfeit.
This is the first deal in the district
where any cash has been involved, and
it is believed now that the ball has
begun to roll. that this transaction will
clear the way for many others.

Police Court Cases.

The case against zee Gay for con-
Quoting an opium den will be heard in
the police court this morning. The po-
lice expect to have uncOntrovertible
evidence. AS predicted heretofore, John
Dugan, who was arrested for assault
ing his divorced wife, was dismissed at
the instance of the woman, Eho relies
upon Dugan for alimony.
A very weak prosecution i'll the cases
against joseph Solomon and Ernest
CrOnk, charged with having stolen
neighbors' fowls, was found sufficient
cause for dismissal.
Carter Smith, probably a vagrant,
will appear for examination today.
The police court records showed a
forfeiture of $3.50 fines for leading lives
of ill-fame.

THE COLUMBIA MINE.
An Exhaustive Examination Made
of the Property.

Mr.. E. NJ. Hand has just finished an
exhaustive examination of the Column
bian mine in the Virtue district, says
the Democrat, of Baker City, Ore. This
mine is controlled by Mr.. w. @. Press
of Chicago, who is a wealthy banker.
1t is not a stock company and Will not
be turned into one. Mr.. Hand sampled
the shaft every four feet to the bottom,
200 feet, and found that the vein aver
aged over SIS to the ton in gold, and
averaged over 312 feet in width. While
the west drift, which is in IS feet
showed the same average in value ana
width of vein at the 175-foot level.
A steam hoist is TO be placed upon
the property at once and development
pushed with all possible speed 10
stamp mill will be erected upon the
property in the spring.
Mr.. Martin Tullgrew, formerly OF the
Homestake mine in the Black Hills, is
the superintendent of the Columbian,
and his ability in this direction gives
confidence that the property will be SCI
entifically managed.
MIR. Press leaves today for Portland
to be absent a few days. On his re-
turn he will spend few days in Baker
City before going TO his home in Chi
cago.
The sale of Is quartz and three placer
claims was yesterday promoted by Mr.
