FIRE In HIS CELL.
Murder BOns Set a Match to His
Bedding.

A dispatch from Crystal Falls
states that Peter Bons, the man who
confessed to the murder of Pearl
Morrison, and who is in Jail await
ing the next session Of circuit court,
set fire to the mattress and bed
clothing in his cell at the Jail Sun
day afternoon, and then yelled for
assistance. His cries attracted the
attention OF some passers-by, who
turned in an alarm. 1t was some
time before the Jail could be opened
and the room ventilated. The sheriff
called to Bons as soon as he entered,
but received no reply, and it was
thought that he was suffocated. A
stream of water was turned on soon
afterwards, when Bons was found to
be very much alive. His scheme
was to get the sheriff to open the
steel cage in which he is kept, and
then he, Bons, was to make break
for liberty. His scheme failed, how
ever, and now Bons will sleep on the
steel floor Of his cell for his work.
1t is indeed pity that the miser-
able wretch did not lose his life in
the attempt. Such devils as he are
entitled to no mercy.

CrOOke iness In An Attempted
Sale Of a Gold Claim
At TIE $500"
NINE HAD BEEN "SALTED."
A Reported Rich Find That
Looked Like Another
KlOndike.

A gold mining excitement, cqualed
only by the recent Klondike craze,
was precipitated in the two Soos
last week, by the reported finding of
rich placer mine, running $500 to
the ton in gold, on the Mississauga
river, seven miles above Iron Bridge,
accessible from near ThessalOn, Ont.
The reports created q great furore
and a depopulation was threatened
by the preparations made by resi-
dents OF the sister cities to strike
for the newly discovered Eldorado.
The news of the wonderful find was
made public early in the week at the
Canadian 500, as the result of an ef-
fort to dispose of placer gold mine
on the above mentioned river to Tor
onto capitalists. A company was or
ganized last winter. Among the
stockholders were well known resi-
dents of the Canadian 500, Thessa-
Ion and Toronto. Recently an agent
was sent to Toronto with samples
from the mine and made an effort to
sell the claim to Toronto capitalists.
The agent soon got number Of
moueyed men of that city Interested
They secured an analysis of the sam
pie, showing that it went about $500
to the ton. An expert was dis
patched at once to examine the mine,
the capitalists agreeing to purchase
at big price.if the report of the ex-
pert was favorable. On investigat-
ing, the expert found that the sand
in the mine, though containing some
gold, did not compare in richness
with the sample sent to Toronto.
The expert at once communicated
this intelligence TO the Toronto cap
italists The latter then obtained
microscopical examination of the al
legged sample. This resulted in the
astounding discovery that the, mine
had been "saited" by gold filings
containing an alloy of copper, such
as is found in gold currency. OF
course, the deal was at once de
clared off as soon as this evidence
Of crooked work was discovered.
The mining expert whose mission
1T was to examine the mine was seen
by The News Friday morning. He
said that while there was no positive
evidence against anyone, yet he was
of the firm opinion that the mine had
been 'salted" by some interested
person in the hope of profitably dis
posing of it. While at first suspicion
pointed TO well known resident of
Thessalon as being guilty of the
crooked work. later developments
tend to show that the blame rests
entirely on one Of the eastern stock
holders. A further investigation,
now going on will probably result
in some other interesting develop
ments in the queer affair.
The expose suddenly stopped the
preparations Of those who we're pre-
pairing to rush to the new gold fields

RIGHT FROM KLONDIKE.
A Michigan Man Back From the
Land of Gold and Cold.

The Iron Mountain Range Tribune
of Saturday contained the following:
On the ST. Paul train Wednesday
from Chicago, was a man from the
Klondike. There wasno special bag
gage car attached to carry his golden
treasure; his pockets didn even bag
with nuggets of the yellow stuff. He
said his name was Emerson, and he
wanted to get home to Ontonagon as
quick as the train could carry him.
Mr.. Emerson said that he was pretty
nearly broke. Still, he felt good
natured and persisted in telling the
crowd that had gathered around him
of the delights of the Alaskan gold
region. when | left Michigan last

The Price Of Wheat Still Ad-
vancing-The Highest
Since 1891.
AND SILVER GOES DOWN,
The White Metal Is Steadily
Declining In
Value.

Chicago, Aug. 1S.-September
wheat closed at 8Sl cents today, the
highest price reached since 1891 ,and
an advance of fully Al cents since
yesterday. There was literally no
wheat for sale and the efforts of
shorts to cover fairly took the mar
ket off its feet. The price jumped
nearly cent in .the last minute.
December was even more radically
strong, closing at S8s, or 81 cents
above yesterday closing figures.
Liverpool and Paris cables were
mainly responsible for the shorts
panic. a more moderate movement
in the northwest; reports Of large
-four sales here yesterday for export;
advices from the seaboard of foreign
buying and rather liberal accept
ances; the weekly weather crop bull
letin reporting too much rain in the
northwest. and rather bullish crop
advices from there liberal out-in-
spection here, and exports of two
and quarter million bushels so far
this week also assisted in the marx
ed upturn in prices. The weather
in great Britain was also reported
wet and unfavorable for harvesting.
Manitoba advices estimated the crop
at fourteen millions, against thirty
millions as the outlook a month ago.
Foreigners bought freely in New
York during the closing hour.
New York, Aug. 1S.-The high
water mark for the season was
reached in the wheat market today,
not only on values, but as to the
volume of transactions as well.
Prices advanced from Al to cents
for the day and the sales reached the
big total of 1915, 900 bushels. Ex-
citement prevailed in the market
from start to finish, but particularly
in the last hour, when the advance
became so rapid that the frequent
fluctuations were marked by l-cent
fractions, instead of the and 1-16
changes that are ordinarily seen. The
total range on September was from
81 to 94s cents, against S9s the low
est price yesterday, and 92i the pre-
vious top notch for the season. The
advance today began with sensa-
tional rise in Liverpool quotations
this morning, instead of the week
ness generally expected. This was
followed up by rumors of a big jump
in the curb prices at Paris, that
market being closed on account of a
holiday. On the curb here Septem-
ber sold from 94s cents down to 934.
The wheat receipts today were llo,-
600 bushels. Spot was strong. No. 2
red, 96s(d962 cents. Options opened
strong on higher cables and had
sensational advance later in the day
on large export buying, heavy cover
ing and bad spring wheat news,
closing 4l(95 cents net higher.
September closed at 95l.

SILVER TAKES ANOTHER DROP.

New York, Aug. 18.-A further
decline in the price of silver occurred

for bar silver was "A pence, fall OF

City of Mexico, Aug. 18.--The re-
newed decline in silver today created
a sensation. Talk of gold standard
is heard in banking circles, but one
argument raised against it is the in
jury to result to local manufacturers,
as the government could not raise
the tariff sufficiently to compensate
them for the loss of that measure of
support now afforded by cheap silver
without imperiling the revenues.
