GARY SNUBBED.
Unusual Incident in the Illinois
Supreme Court.

Springfield Ills, June 16-An unusual
incident occurred in the supreme court
when appellate judges were assigned.
Judge Gary. famous FOR having pre-
sided at the anarchist trials, was not
assigned. Judge Magruder protested in
the following strong language:
The distinguished services OF Mr..
Justice Gary for nearly 81 years de-
served more fitting recognition
Wherever modern els fl.zaticn has ex-
tended its light and blessings, his name
stands as The synonym for law and or

stayed and suppressed the onsets Of
lawlessaess and disorder, and enter
my solemn protest against the slight

Chief Justice Phillips in reply said:
With the fullest recognition OF those
qualities. the majority of this court
reserved TO itself the right and dis
charged the duty of selecting other
judges for that place equally learned,
industrious and able, who can and will
with equal eernestness and as high
sense of justice discharge these duties

Below we give the result Of the tests

Below we give the result of the tests
made:
From groupings from two-foot
ledge or the Gold Belt claim on Drake
and Lambert hill. 1888 ounces silver
and 1874 in gold.
From groupings from the two-foot
ledge on the Last Chance and Security
claims, adjoining the Gold Belt, "a
ounces silver and $3.50 in gold.
From groupings from a 12-inch ledge
on the Gold Belt claim, .95 ounces sill
yer and $500 in gold.
Surface groupings from the Gold Belt
ledge at the top of the hill, 2.10 ounces
silver and $3.50 in gold.
Average samples OF ore taken from
800 tons Of quartz on the Gold Belt
dump, 81 ounces silver and $3.50 in
gold 10 the ton.
II must be remembered that all of the
ore of State Line is free milling. Also
that it is believed that an abundance
of water can be developed for milling
purposes, and that the camp now en-
joys many advantages and facilities.
AS to the existence of large bodies of
ore there is no doubt.
II his examination Of the silver belt
of the district, Mr.. Bast found some
magnificent properties. From one of
these, which is an extension of the
Young Utah mine, which is producer
of gold as well as of silver, Mr.. Bast
took samples of ore from the groupings
that assayed las ounces silver and $4,000
in gold to the ton.
There is every reason to believe that
several mills will be installed in the
camp this summer, and if this is done
the future Of the district is assured,
and it can soon after be classed among
the leading gold and silver districts of
the west.

At the Alice Mine.

The Alice company at Walkerville is
preparing to increase its output of bull
lion by increasing its workings, says
the Standard of Anaconda, Mont. With
. this end in view large hoist has just
been erected at the Valdemere mine,
which has been idle for the past u
years. The hosting machinery has al
ready been placed in position and the
work of taking out ore will be COM
menced in a few days. The mine is
developed with a three
shaft down 300 feet and by series of
Slopes, levels and wines. 1t is con-
nected by a 700-foot level with the
Magma Charta, one of the compeny's
principal mines, and the lead is a con-
tinuation of the Alice and Magma
Charta veins.
The company has fully compiled
with the new law requiring enclosed
cages. but the first model adopted and
now in use at the Alice mine will be
discarded for the Hewitt pattern, now
in use in the mines of the Colorado
company. This device consists of steel
lattice work, with folding doors, and is
in successful working order on the
cages at the Blue Wing. The Alice
company is now equipping its other
cages in similar manner. and the de-
vice s@also being adopted by several
of the other companies. II. complying
with the new law the Alice has made
an outlay of nearly $1,000. 1t will cost
the big companies many thousands of
dollars TO equip their cages as required
by the legislative enactment. The en-
casing of the cages involves the cut
ting down of the cars and some of
the companies have entirely new cages
and cars built. Assistant Mining In
spector Hunter has about completed
his tour of all the mines of the dis
trict and finds that several of the
companies have not yet complied with
the law. They are preparing to do so,
however. and Mr.. Hunter does not an
ticipate that there viii be any trouble
on this score.

On Wall Street.

New York, June 16.-Today was
NAKED by a continuance of the, heavy
profit taking which was a feature of
yesterdays trading, and although the
day closed with the prices of the many
prominent stocks below yesterday s
closing prices, the average decline is
small, and showing good resistance to
the large selling.
There were times during the day
when prices rose sharply above yester-
days closing, but the higher level in
vited realizing in each instance. There
was a continuance of the good COM
mission buying which has been a fea-
ture for some time past. and which has
sustained values with remarkable firm
ness. The short interests, however
seem practically eliminated from the
market, and the needs of this element.
which usually serve to strengthen an
upward movement was not a factor.
The utter dizziness of the dealings in
London on account of the jubilee fes-
tivities also withdrew a stimulating
factor. Announcement that Japan filed
protest at Washington against the
annexation of Hawaii now in process of
negotiation had an influence on the
selling TO some extent, though this in
fuence was largely sentimental.
The movement of special stocks had
a sympathetic effect on the market.
which was more important than that
of general conditions. Sugar was strong
on the votes yesterday in the senate
dfsposing of the sugar schedule, but
was later depressed on the news that
tle treaty for the annexation of Ha-
waii had been signed by Secretary
Sherman and the Hawaiian represent
alive. The selling on this news was
based on the presumption that the
Sugar company would derive benefit
from the abrogation of the Hawaiian
reciprocity treaty and the imposition of
a tariff ON Hawaiian sugar.
The stock dealt in today was ex-divi-
derd.
The bond market displayed little fea-
ture, but values were well sustained
for the leading shares during the
greater part of the DAY. with some of
the less active securities conspicuous
for material improvements. In the
final dealing the speculative issues
tended to lower in sympathy with the
heaviness of the share speculation. The
sales were S1.267 900.

Boston. June 1.-THE American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say tomor-
row:
The large. purchases of Australian
woods by a leading house. coupled with
the increasing demand during the past
week from consumers, have impaired a
degree of firmness to the Boston market
which it has not possessed in a long
time. The tone of the market, especi-
ally in Australian woods, is strong. and
in some cases a cent per pound more
has been paid than could have been OBJ
tanned two or three weeks ago. Ad-
vices from abroad indicate strengthen
ing markets. a considerable portion OF
the safes during the week were taken
for speculative account, but sales actu-
aliy made Cor consumption constitute
large weeks business.
There is ais more doing in domes-
tic medium woods and prices are
slightly firmer, but as yet this has not
amounted to very much. Sales in Bos-
ton for the week aggregate 9.925,00
pounds. of which 2.106,O00 pounds were
domestic and $4,000 pounds foreign.

TRADING IN FOUR ACES.
But Little Demand For Gilt-Edged
Mining Securities.


Four Aces, which has been in the
dumps for so long time, came to the
front yesterday on the floor of the
exchange with sale of 1000 shares at
s cents.
This was the only transfer made
during the call. which was. dull and in
which the brokers manifested but little
interest.
The listed stocks were unusually
quiet and yet some of them exhibited
considerable strength or maintained
their own in the bidding. Geyser scored
advances over the quotations of the
previous day, but was inactive Mer-
cur remained the same in the bidding,
hut in the offerings holders stood out
Tor an advance. Mammoth chronicled
gains, and at the close was wanted at
Sl-2O. Geyser- Marion was also very
firm, and drew out bids of 81. 271s, with
offerings at S1.30. Northern Light was
practically unchanged, but as a gen.
eral thing it commands higher figures
on the curb than il does in the Dit of
the exchange.
The unlisted stocks were passed with
out sale, and the brokers were in
cllned to imDersonate bruin when the
most of these were called. Hercules
headed the list of this class of securi-
ties, and made slight advances in the

The interest taken of late in Beaver
Lake mining district, in Beaver coun-
ty, this state. is not subsiding by any
means and it now tegins to look as
if this old camp would enjoy a boom
this summer, and especially so as word
has just been received from Frisco that
on the group owned by the Beaver
Lake Copper Mining company, recent
ly Incorporated, a 14-inch body of red
oxide of copper ore had just been un-
covered within the past three days
that carries values of so per cent COP
per and $50 in gold 10 the ton.
In years gone by an incline shaft
was sunk on this ground TO a depth
of 45 feet on a ledge of copper con-
glomerate. but when the new owners
began work a week or ten days ago ii
was decided to sink a vertical shaft.
This was started a few feet distant
from the mouth of the incline shaft
and at a depth of y feet the body of
or above described was uncovered and
the management is convinced that it
is a parallel vein.
In letter describing the new strike
Phil Bentz, the secretary of the COM
pany, writes from Frisco as follows:
All the dinI extracted so far is ore
and consequently has TO be hoisted TO
the top. As you are aware, the old
incline was run on a smooth strata,
evidently taken for the foolwalI, but
the work done recently shows every
thing TO be ore behind this, and there
is nothing TO indicate where the real
wall is"
A letter has also been received by
the officers of the company in this city
from Walter C. Getchell, the superin-
lendent Of the mine. in which he says:
At a depth Of Y feet from the sur
