NEITHER Calderhead nor
Chandler, both republicans,
has been accused Of anarchy
and 1mbecility, yet both say
thata continuation of the
single gold standard will
bring on an upheaval of the
masses which will end in a
revolution. A warming like
this coming from such dis
tingllished goldbugs as Cal
derhead and Chandler ought
to have some weight with
the average republican.

Viewed By Dun.

New York, Aug. 20.-R. G. Dun & Co.
in their weekly review of trade will
say: Not for five years has tn tele-
graphic reports of business in all parts
OF the country been as encouraging or
shown as uniform Improvements as this
week The demand for money i'm
proves.
The iron and steel industry is push
ing forward in spite of the still un-
settled strike of biturninous coal miners,
and the continues purchase of ore at
Cleveland and also of billets at Pitts
burg show the most utmost confidence
in the future.
Many additional estq blisGlrnents have
begun work during the past week, and
while no material change in prices mas
occurred the reports indicate fewer
concessions to secure business and a.
much steadier tone.
The old difficulty remains in the boot
and shoe industry dealers being I'm
willing to buy this year at the prices
which manufacturers now ask, though
during the past week the only change
has been Slight advance ON calf boots.
In the wholen BUSINESS a constant
increase appears in the number of
establishments at work., and the de-
mand for goods has much increased
Failures for the week have been 223 in
the United States. against $50 last year
and 80 in Canada, against q last year.

Directors Defer Action In Regard to

The directors of the Geyser- Marion

cred the matter of declaring the regu-

There was some difference of opinion
in regard TO the matter and action was
deferred for one week.
MANAGER Miner states that the
crusaer at the Geyser mill had been
disabled. thus limiting the usual out
pu1. Whita the ores treated OF late
have not been quite as high grade as
formerly For these reasons, some d.
rectc~s favored deferring the dividend,
which, however, is likely TO be de-

1t has been asserted by old time min
ing men that gold grows" In other
words. that this metal is often found in
places and localities where its existence
was never before suspected. And there
are many Instances on rec3rd, where,
in old districts, deposits of the yellow
metal have been found in silver camps
in the immediate vicinity of heavy pro-
ducers of the white metal, and by the
side CT paths ara trails over which
hundreds of mining men have foiled for
years.
The gold discoveries of Bingham is
an illustrator Of this statement. Yalu
eiole deposits Of the yellow metal have
been disclosed in the great silver pro
duoing camp of Park City OF lai-e, and
importaat finds OF this character are
being almost daily recorded in Tintic
district.
The latest discovery in this line was
made in the Centennial Eureka, at
Eureka. on Wednesday of this week,
and from Captain W. Il. Smith. the
SUPERINTENDENT of this magnificent
property, who arrived in the city yes
terdaV. ii is learned that the find Is
q most important che, and, just at this
time. when silver is PROSTATE in the
gutter it means much for the future of
the mine.
According 10 the captain, the new
body of ore was found in an upraise
about 500 or 500 feet in from the mouth
Of What is termed the lower tunnel.
The ore Zore is quite q large one. be-
ing from FIVE 10 six feet in width at the
present time, with increasing volume
as work progresses, while the gold val
ues run some hing over $40 a ton. the
silver contents being good.
This is a good shipping proposition,
and it is likely that the company viii
begin consignments al an early day.
Captain Smith also states that there
IS a decided improvement on the 500
level and that the mine as whole
locks encouraging. as there Is no por--
t!on Of the property but that is showing
up unusually well.
Considerable prospecting work has
beoa going on in the Centennial Eureka
fer the past year, and the beneficial re-
suits Of this policy are now becoming
apparent, as, with thee gold measures
10 draw from just now. the outlook for
this property is much brighter than 1T
Vas a few weeks ago.
The discoveries in. the Grand Cen
trail and Lower Mammoth. on the Mann
moth side of the divide, will also help
to place the district in line to circum
vent the manipulation of Wall street
gold bugs.

On Wall Street.

New York, Aug. 20.-The process of
realizing profits on The long continued
advance in the market went on today
and was reflected il the heavy tone
of the market and the cessation Of ac-
tive outside buying.
Prices in the stock market did not
respond to the sensational rise in wheat
as IS some times so. As far as this
rise was due to buying for export and
to the jump in the price of wheat in
England and the continent. it was
favorable influence on the stocks as in
dicating Increased purchasing power in
the hands of the farmers. But so far
as it was due to fears of damage to the
corn crop and to lower estimates of the
spring wheat crop, it affected the grain
carrying roads unfavorably as indicat-
ing q probable decrease in the tonnage
of the freight to be transported Re-
ports of such crop conditions were very
prevalent in Wall street all tlay, and
the market responded quickly, espec-
tally the grangers. The continued firm
ness of sterling exchange rates was
not an encouraging factor IN the mar
ket. London and the continental. money
centers seem to be fencing to deter

THE STAR MINE.
a Valuable Idaho Property to Be
Worked Under Lease.


Worked Under Lease.
a correspondent writing to the
Statesman from HALEY. Ida. says the
Star mine, located few miles from
that place, is again to be worked.
The present owners, Messrs. Lemp
and Fax, have given a three years
lease on the lower workings of the
mine to Ben Gray, A C. Liggett, James
Mcpherson, George Lynch, Edward Sui
Ivan and William Gibbons, all of
Haley. The lease includes the pres
ent shaft with all the hosting machin-
cry, and the right to tunnel in from the
side of the hill below the mouth of
the shaft to tap the vein. The lassees
will have to tunnel a distance of 800
to 1000 feet before striking the vein.
From this point an upraise will be
started to meet the bottom of the pres
ent shaft 100 to 80 feet above. This
tunnel will be used to drain the upper
shaft, which is now filed with water.
and all ore will be taken out through
it. Charles Sheehan, Albert Granville
and others of Bradford have a year
and a half lease on what is known as
the upper workings. They will not
undertake any extensive work, but viii
explore the former short tunnels and
levels in search of any ore that has
been overlooked.
The former owners of the mine have
six months in which to redeem the
property. In case they take such ac-
ton the lessees VIII receive compensa-
ton for labor expended upon fhe mine.
