Pierpont Morgan to Institute Foreclosure
Proceedings Against the Railroad.

Pierpont Morgan, who now practi-
cally controls every great railroad run
ming east from New York, save two, is
about to engage In a struggle for the
control of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
way. The fight for control of the Bal
timore and Ohio will come immediate
ly after october /, when Mr.. Morgan
will try to seize the property through
foreclosure proceedings. The receivers
of the road will, in behalf Of the Balti-
more interests and certain New York
interests, endeavor to forestall Mr..
Morgan.
The opportunity for Mr.. Morgan TO
seize the Baltimore & Ohio vii! come on
October l. At that time the interest
coupons on $7.I44 900 of bonds of the
Chicago division, the main line, held
by j. p. Morgan & Co.. will have been
three months in default Under the
agreement made when Morgan g. Co,
took the bonds foreclosure proceedings
could not begin until 80 days after such
default. 1t is asserted in Wall street
that Mr.. Morgan will lose no time after
October In beginning suit to take the
road.
But the financier is going to have o
fight on his hands before he secures the
property. 1t is said In Wall streetptcsa,

tunity to contest the Morgan suit Of

GOLD IOBE MADEBY AcH|cAC0 MN.
BY VOLCANIC HEAT.
Factory Built That VIII Produce Yellow
Nuggets.

Unless Edward c. Brice and his as
sociates At Chicago have made a mis-
take at some point in their calculations
they will light the furnace fires Octo-
Der In factory that is to produce
gold from the baser metals to the value
VI $4,000. 900. The Record tells the story.
Without claiming n knowledge Of the
black art. without calling to his aid
any Of the powers of alchemy, Mr..
Brice asserts that he can make gold
that he has made IL and sold II on the
market on its own merits side by side
with natures product from the noun
tainS. The orthodox theory that gold
is primary substance he disputes and
holds that IL is made from other metals
by heat and by volcanic action.
To prove its faith in the inventor and
his theory n company, of which Mr..
Brice is the president and heaviest
stockholder. is fitting up a plant at
Thirty ninth street and Lowe avenue
at an expense OF $25. 900. The company
is capitalized for $4,000. and not a
dollars worth of the stock Is for sale.
\ building that was once a foundry,
los by PCS feet In dimensions. whose
dngy brown walls give no indication
of holding Il secret, Is being transform
ed by two score of workmcn into this
Chicago "klOndykc.' The last layers
of brick on five large furnaces are be-
ing put in place under the personal SUI
pervision uf Mr.. BriCe.
These furnaces are of Mr.. BriCc'S in
vontiun and form the most important
part of the works. In their compact
ovens volcanic heat. II is claimed, will
be produced and by subjecting his
combination of metals to intense heat
In the different furnaces Mr.. Brice says
the dun baser metals gradually turn
into the sparkling ore. from which gold
and silver are produced.
The formula held by Mr. Brice is the
result Of years of study and thousands
of experiments. In 1889. In his labora-
tory at Washington. the experiment
was made in which he says he first
produced gold. Mr. Brice came to Chi
Cago three years ago. His experiments
had beeen kept up and in November OF
last year some friends Joined with him
and invested a few thousands of dol
lars for the purpose of making the test
which should decide whether gold
could be made at n commercial pl oft.
From their factory Mt FOr,ieth street
and Wentworth avenue. which was
known as the Illinois chemical works,
they turned out. Mr.. BriCe says, gold

smelling works of Chicago for over S3,-

EIGHTEEN MEN DEAD.
Landslide on tho Chilcoot Pass Wipes Out q
Camp Of Gold Hunters.

The Pioneer. which arrived at Port
Townsend, Wash, the other day, brings
report of a landslide which occurred
near Sheep Camp, on the Chilcoot pass,
last Sunday morning, in which is men
are said TO have lost their lives. Only
one body is said to have been recovered
that of man named Choynski, a
cousin of Joseph Choynski, the prize
tighter. The men supposed to have
been lost were packers on the Dyea
trail. The officers of the Pioneer say
that the story was brought to Skaguay
Sunday evening by three men who told
II in such way as to leave no doubt
as to its 'truthfulness. They described
the avalanche as consisting of rocks,
ice and dirt which had been loosened
by the recent unprecedented hard rain
which has been falling almost continu-
ously for the past month.
The men who bring the story say that
at $40 In. the morning a peculiar sound
was hard. and before the residents Of
the camp could fully dress they found
themselves rapidly borne down the
canyon on mass of moving debris
from the mountain side. A majority
of the residents Of Sheep Camp escaped
although nearly the entire village was
destroyed. The slide struck the town
on the northern. part, where nearly all
the packers were quartered in tents
and asleep. The main part of the slide
from the mountains missed Sheep
Camp proper, although from the report
very little of the town remains. The
packers camp was wholly, carried away
and ii is impossible to learn the names
of the. unfortunates, as they were all
known by their surnames.
All the bridges on the Skaguay river
have been washed out and the river Is
raging torrent.

travellers on the Dyea and Skaguay
trails and all who do not intend to WIN
