ising. There is fair business with
China and with South America. Inc
Leyant and India continue to make IN
ouiries but thus far business with those
sections has not been large. The more
encouraging crop reports from lncra,
South America and the Levant rouse
strong hopes Of better trade at an
early date. The home trade is still
interfered with by the large numbers OF
idle hands who affect the retail trade
unfavorably. An important strike
among the weavers OF Lancashire is
likely to occur soon, as the men are de-
termined to resist the proposed reduc-
ton of wages. Advices from the con-
tinent show that there is no improve
ment in either the French or German
markets. Manufacturers will be COM

Lower California

The Mexican Sulphur company has be-
gun the extensive development of their
property near the Colorado river, in
Lower California, under the manage
ment of j. A. Dubbs, the general man
ager. The method of mining there is
the most simple that could be imagined.
The deposit is so large and of such
high per cent sulphur that it needs n
sorting and wagons are driven under
traps such as the grading contractors
use in ting for a cellar. The ore
is broken down and loaded by means Of
chutes. Only few minutes are required
TO load a two-ton wagon, and another
Immediately takes its place.
The Mexican Sulphur company is in
corporated under the laws of West Vir-
sinia and is composed of Pittsburg gen.
tlemen. The board of directors and Off
GERS are:s G. Fl. Finn, president; j. J.
Booth, secretary and treasurer; ]. A.
Dubbs, general manager. The stock is
held by practically the same men that
compose the Pttsburg Asphaltum COM
pany of Ventura, CAL These deposits
are the property of Anthony Godbe of
Ensenada, and are being worked by the
present company on royalty. Less
than year ago they were almost un-
known, but at the present time they are
attracting attention in many places in
the United States and bid fair to become
one of the most important factors in
the sulphur market Of the world.

MINES AND MINERS
California

Considerable excitement has been oc-
casioned by rich strikes in Shepherds
canyon, Of the Argus range, in southern
Inyo county. Hickey and Mclaughlin
have recently discovered three-foot
ledge of 5000 ore. Charles White has the
extension Of Messrs. Hickey and Nc
Laughlin's property, which will go $1O0
per ton and is two feet wide.
Working operations have been started
up on the Mineral Hill properties by j.
s. Stolter, w. C. Rice and others on the
other (east) side of the mountain.
Ed Cross has sold out the Comet mine
in the same vicinity as the Mineral Hill
and has started work on another mine
owned by him.
Montgomery Bros. & Co. have re-
-sumed operations on the World Beater
and started up their mill at Ballarat,
which has been shut down for Two
months on account Of hot weather at
the mill and the necessity of doing some
dead tunnel work on the mine.
Messrs. Garrison Coulter & Co., who
have a rich mine in the South Park near
Ballarat, have quantity of rich ore
on the dump waiting to be milled.

company has recently taken out $1050O0

a sample carload Of antimonied ore from
their Laguna mountain property for
shipment to England, with view of de-

ENGLISH MARKETS

dian Demand Helps Silver

LONDON, Sept. 19.-The condition of
the money market remains substantially
unchanged, though discount is some
what easier. The future of the market
depends mainly upon the question of
gold Withdrawals for the United States.
The bank will doubtless advance the
rate in the event OF an important de-
mand, otherwise the present low dis
count rates promise to continue.
Silver is firmer on the strength Of Ind
ian purchases. There are rumors that
the Indian council is buying for coinage
and that the price has risen sharply in
India of late, as fears Of an import duty
have subsided.
There are signs of revival in stock
exchange. Both speculative and invest
ment business is enlarging, and the ten
dency is distinctly upwards. Consols,
colonials and home railways are all
higher than week ago. The depression
in Spanish securities is the principal
feature in foreigners.
American railway securities have

Nevada

The Gold Creek News reports a very
rich strike in the mine owned by the
Walker brothers at Mountain City, Elko
county This property was worked years
ago and produced ore that was worth 81
per pound. AT depth of forty feet the
vein was lost and it was thought the
vein did not go down. Last winter Frank
Ash, Thomas Ryan and Hiram Hill, Col
orado miners, went over there and came
to the conclusion the mountain had
faulted. They associated themselves
with Perm Walker, Will Walker and
Rutley Woodward in the development [
of the mine, and the first steam hosting
works ever brought into the camp was
erected. After some prospecting it was
discovered the mountain had faulted 200
feet and the ledge was again found in
place eight feet wide going down be-
tween granite walls. Thirty-five feet
in from the 125-foot level the rich ore
chute was again encountered. Last
week fifteen sacks of ore were taken out
richer than anything that had been
found above.
The roof of the drift for the eight feet
driven into the chute is fairly green
with chloride of silver. From 10 to %
per cent Of the value Of the mine has
been gold, and gold shows all through
the ledge matter in the present strike for
the full width of eight feet The vein
has every indication of being a true fis-
sure and the permanency of the mine
seems assured.

A new holster for the Tennessee mine,

two-compartment shaft will be sunk
on the mine as soon as the hoist is placed
in position.
J. s. Withers and others have pur-
chased the claim adjoining the Lookout
mine, in Mojave county, and will work
the two properties. The Lookout is an
excellent gold producer every lea.ser

USED HIS GUN
A Supposed Thief Shot by Night
Patrolman

Special Patrolman Gus Bayer shot and
wounded a supposed thief on Alameda
street early yesterday morning when his
warning command to halt was disre-
garded. The victim gave his name as
Pierre Bertrand and was brought to the
receiving hospital, where DR.. Hagan
probed for the bullet, which had entered
the thigh, but failed to find it.
AS the patrolman was walking along
Alameda street he espied man skulk-
ing along in the shadows carrying a
pair of doubletrees. He called upon the
fellow to stop. Instead of obeying the
order the man threw down the double
trees and started to run. The officer re-
peated his command to halt and then
raising his gun fired at the fleeing man.
His aim was true, and Bertrand dropped
to the pavement helpless. He denied
stealing the doubletrees.
