Chicago Grain and Produce.

Chicago, June 9.-Proceedings in the
wheat pit during the first half hour Of
the session were interesting, but
fraught with grave consequences to
those of the performers who had gone
home short of July wheat yesterday.
Fear of manipulation of that delivery,
for the benefit of the longs, was the
cause of an advance in it of about &c
per bushel inside of 10 minutes The
excitement soon subsidized and was
succeeded by heightened period of
subdued nervousness. July wheat

23sc bulge. Opened at from 69ss to

an hour it was back to 695s. Although
there were other bullish elements, the
fear of manipulation, so prominent in

given any particular attention for a
time. Minneapolis and Duluth receipts

AT the Consolidated Virginia the Wis

of water from the 700-foot shaft for

been overcome to a great extent by in

over the roseate outlook for the mine.
Messrs. John Dern, z. H. Airs, Hall

with Mr.. Clark in the Wachusett, and
yesterday, at the office of the Mercur
company, the specimens above men

Mr.. Clark, in speaking CT the develop

where y men are employed, states that
in one of the tunnels there is a two and
half foot face of high grade ore in
the workings that is full of chlorides
and native silver. from which average
values OF 1926 ounces silver have been
obtained. No stopping is being done in
this portion of the mine, and yet Mr..
Clark VIII soon have a shipment ready
in doing development work only, and
the ore is being sacked as rapidly as
possible.
IN tae upper tunnel, above the cave.
back OF the boarding house, there is

he will return at once and superintend

The Wachusett mine adjoins the
Chloride Point, in which. a few days

that was assayed at the Mercur mine
and showed values of Is per cent lead,

Mr. Clark, in referring to the Chic

TAYLOR STRIKES 1T RICH.
Uncovers Fine Body of Ore in His
Prospect.


Frisco, Utah, June S.-John TAYLOR
has made a strike in his property on
the south side of the Horn Silver
mountain that may be of considera BILE
Importance. The entire bottom of his
shaft is said to be in ore that ASSAYS
10 per cent lead and 10 ounces silver.
and mixed with this class of ore is a
galena ore that will run so per cent
lead and 25 ounces silver. For several
months Mr.. Taylor has been putting all
his spare time on this claim but as he
seldom had more than one day out of
two weeks, progress has been slow:
being in the employ of the Horn Silver
his only leisure time has been change
Sundays. Several small pockets of
gaiena ore have been found by Mr.
Taylor, but yesterday his shaft dropped
INTO sand carbonate of the grade
mentioned above. His shaft is said to
be bat 10 or Il feet deep. While this is
low grade ore. yet it is of sufficient
value to concentrate and a shipping
ore can be sorted out. The formation is
doiomite and the ledge is said to be
close to porphyry contact.
Another 100 foot contract has Just
been let on the Cupric and the work
will be done in running a drift towards
the ledge.
w. G. Getchell. who has been ap-
pointed foreman OF the Beaver Lake
Copper Mining company's property in
Beaver Lake district, went out to the
district yesterday with two men and
will start work at once. Mr. Getchell
has had experience in a great many of
the mining camps of the west and will
prosecute work in an intelligent man
Ter.
c. S. Carver, who has pinned his
faith to Beaver Lake district for a
number of years, was in town for a
couple of DAYS last week and has re-
turned to the district Mr. Carver has
long maintained that Beaver Lake af-
forded the foundation for one of the
greatest mining camps in the Rocky
Mountains, and now that prospects are
bright for the active development of
several properties, his joy is I'M
bounded.
1t is very probable that Messrs. Hall
and Higgins Of Mercur will do some
work on their group of claims in the
vicinity of the C. K mine very soon
Some of the richest gold, silver and
copper ore in the district is found in
the veins covered by their claims.

prospected before. picked a sample that

come down from Hawthorne, New.

possession of John I. Blair. a New York
millionaire, who shut them down. Four
years ago L. J. Hanchette, father of

through d. o. Mills, and secured from
him bond on the mine with permits

end of 2 certain time. He pledged him
self to spend 100000 in erecting mills
and making improvements. and with l..
z. Hanchette. his son, has since been
developing and working the property.
Blair is 90 years old and had TO re-
tire from business because of mental
incapacity. The Hanchettes say that
when they offered Blairs family the
S150.000 purchase price it was refused.
and suit was begun over that matter
