MARRIED AT FIFTEEN.
Story of Mrs. Wallace and Her Right
to the Ketchum Estate.

Chicago, Nov. 15.-Mrs. Mabel Estelle
Wallace, at whose home John B.
Ketcham died Saturday. and her claim
that she is the widow of the dead club
man, has brought to light her romantic
history. According to Mrs. Wallace,
the ceremony by which she became the
third Mrs. Ketcham was performed in
Milwaukee on Sept. "a. by a Methodist
minister. The latter's name she does
not remember but says he can be
easily found and her claim to Mr.
Ketcham's estate of $500, 900 establish
ed.
Mrs. Wallace is the widow of James
Walkup, formerly of EmpOria, Kan.
and wealthy. When he died in 1885
under somewhat strange circumstances
his youthful bride Was arrested and
tried for numbering him, but she was
freed. She married him when she was
only 10 years old, although ne was al
most co. She was a widow at II. and
to avoid unpleasant nOtOriety she as
sumed the name of Wallace. She came
to Chicago after she had spent con-
siderable money travelling in Europe,
and purchased the residence at 3,142
Indiana avenue, which she furnished
in splendid style.
Mr.. Ketcham's death will be investd-
gated by the coroner The circum-
stances surrounding his illness and the
manner of his death are deemed such
as to warrant it. Today Chief Deputy
Coroner Mandelbaum was sent to the
residence of Mrs. Wallace, or Ketcham-
The deputy. it is alleged. was unable
to set any satisfaction from the serv-
ants or Mrs Ketcham and he advised
the coroner to make a post mOrtem ex-
animation

line, and of which Mr.. Alfred Popkees
IS president and treasurer, was organ
lied in Salt Lake City in September
1895, says the Iron County Record, with
the following members and stockhold-
ers: Alfred Popkees, Hon. Frank Har-
ris, receiver of the United States land
Office; Hon. Frank D. Hobbs, land at
torney and agent, and Attorneys Jay
S. Harris and John W. Burton, all with
the exception of Mr.. Popkees, of Salt
Lake. The company secured some
very valuable property in the Stateline
district, which was duly transferred at
that time
Mr.. Popkees. president and treasurer
Of the company, has been busy for a
year and half fuI-thering the inter-
ests of the company, and has succeed
ed IN interesting number of his
friends who have invested their means
in the company, so that enough funds
have now been raised to purchase and
put into operation q steam stamp mill
Mr. Rich of Bullionville has been en-
ployed as millWright and pronounces
the mill just What is needed to proper
~ treat Statelinef ore. TheteXcavation
for the mill is completed, the masonry
is begun and the lumber and machinery
are on the road.
Mr.. PoDkees has procured the one
third interest in the Creole held by
Mcdonald and Nfillett, and has a con-
tract for the milling of its ores; also
one-half interest in the Offer, having
bonded and leased the Clark portion
of that property. He has also secured
a bond and lease on the Gold Belt and
April Fool properties of Drake and
Lambert. All these interests have been
secured for the Stateline Gold Mining
company, which, with the properties
they already held, gives them scontrol
Of the principal mines of the district,
upon which sufficient work has been
expended to uncover any considerable
amount of ore.
Mr. Popkees the president of the
company, has for some time been a
resident of Iron county, and bears a
reputation for honesty and thrift which
might well be envied, and the good
fortune of the district may be largely
attributed to his energy, good judg-
ment and tenacity of purpose. We do
not see how it is possible for any mis-
take to be made in putting in this mill,
as the ores have been subjected to the
most thorough tests and have proved
entirely satisfactory. We wish the
venture success.

CHICAGO REVIEW.
fluctuations in Wheat Due to Wea-
ther Reports-May Closes at 9O14.

ther Reports-May Closes at 9o14.
Chicago, Nov 15.-For the first two
hours trading in the wheat market was
an unstable one, with range for May
from SOS to S9%4. Opening strong at
90as @901a as against Saturdays closing
price of so, May sold for an instant at
SOS, the highest price of the day, then
declined under the only really heavy
selling which took place during the
session to 1894. 1t rose again to 901a.
but by 11:30 had declined to 1894. The
chief reason for the strength at the
start was that Liverpool was I'D. high
er, following the drop in price at the
end of the week here. There were some
other reasons, however, that had more
or less to do with it. Since Saturday it
had been moist and mild and generally
as about hopeful to q weak plant as
could be wished at this season of the
year, but the thermometer in the eX-
IRENE north marked 10 below zero this
morning and a considerable decrease
from recently comparatively tempera-
lures in the winter country was the
prediction for tonight.
The London Times estimated the
damage by frost to the Argentine crop
at 10 per cent. The receipts in the
northwest gave some indications of
feeling the effect of smaller deliveries
from farmers. Minneapolis, compared
with Monday previous had 353 carloads
less. The days receipts at MinneapO-
lie and Duluth were 1886 against 1888
the Monday preceding and 1853 the
corresponding day of 1896. Chicago re-
ceipts were 113, against 81 cars last
year, but in addition to rail receipts
was a cargo of 1901 600 bushels by lake
Total receipts at western ports were
hi, 900 bushels, against 1929, 600 bushels
d year ago. Atlantic port clearances
were 322, GOO bushels in wheat and -four
The quantity of wheat on ocean pas
sage was increased $50 900 bushels and
the shipments from all sources to Eu-
rope last week were 9,261, 900 bushels
against 9,247, 900 bushels the previous
week. This latter item had a good deal
to do in causing the selling which re-
suited in the decline after the opening.
The visible supply statement was an
additional source of weakness. It
showed an increase of 1927, 900 bushels
During the latter part of the session
trading was very dull, though prices
showed more steadiness. Liverpool
closed SD. higher. The Corn Trade
News predicted an immediate falling
off In Russian shipments as the result
of ice. The strength with which De-
cember was maintained gave the mar
ket much needed support at times. May
was bringing 9OA at the close
Corn was dull with very little doing
beyond changing December to Nav and
even that at limited quantities. Ele-
vator people were the most conspicu-
Gus sellers
The market for oats was very SINH
lar to corn in the character of its trad
ing, very little being done beyond OK
changing, selling December and buy
ing May at about 12c premium for the
latter.
Provisions were slow with weak
prices. Lower prices at the wards were
responsible for an opening decline in
provisions and moderate selling by
packers kept prices on the down grade.
The leading futures ranged as follows.

Director Heath Returns With So
Pounds of Gold and Silver.

Director Frederick Heath, of the
Salt Lake Mining & Improvement as
ISOLATION. returned yesterday from the
company's mine in Box Elder county
with So pounds of gold and silver bull
lion in his possession, the result Of a
few days run with the little mill that
is on the property.
In speaking of the mine Mr.. Heath
stated that it was in splendid condf-
ton and that the mill was running in
a most satisfactory manner, while at
the same time the strike of high
holding cut well, the body of rich ore
changing its course, is pitching into
the nil. thus indicating continuity and
permanency.
A carload of this rich rock is now
about loaded at Kelton and will soon
arrive in this city, and Mr.. Heath
states that it is believed that a carload
consignment of this grade of mineral
can be made at least once q week for
an indefinite period
At the mine everything has been
comfortably fixed up for the winters
work and the outlook is indeed en-
couraging. The men employed by the
company are first-class miners; har-
mony prevails, and everyone is doing
ms hest to make a complete success of
the enterprise, which is now on such
a substantial and promising basis.
The bullion brought down by Mr.
Heath was deposited at the Bank of
commerce, and it is expected within a
week or ten days another similar con-
Signment will be made.

NEW BANKING LAWS.
Legislation Which Will Insure Gen.

efa1 temporary prosperity.
Hon. Thomas G. Merrill, who is
heavily interested in mining enter
prises in Utah and Montana, returned
to Salt Lake yesterday morning after
an extended visit east, where he has
been on business matters and also Wis
iting old stomping grounds.
When seen by q representative of
The Herald yesterday and asked as to
the general conditions in the east, Mr.
Merrill said:
There is a general feeling in the east
that this coming winter congress will
pass such measures as will insure
plenty of money for all kinds of invest
ments, which viii result in bringing
prosperity TO the country at large, tenn
porarily, at least which will result in
the appreciation of all kinds of prop
erty and the stimulation of thousands
of enterprises.
Still, among a number of leading BIZ
metallists there is a feeling that such
financial legislation cannot pass the
senate, although it will have behind it
the entire influence of the administra-
ton and that of the banks, the money
power and the country generally
In answer to the inquiry as to the
nature of the proposed legislation mr.
Merrill replied;
PROPOSED PROSPERITY MEAS
URE
''The act, if passed, will provide for
the issuance of bank bills by the ma
tional banks, which, on their face shall
be redeemable in gold coin, the provi-
sion being made that 35 per cent of the
face value of these bills shall be de-
posted in the United States treasury in
the shape of government bonds, coin or
legal tender money, the remaining 65
per cent being the promise OF the banks
to pay upon demand. The act will also
provide that all banks of issue shall be
united and known as associated
banks which shall be held liable for
the redemption of the bills of any one
of the banks in the association.
IF such legislation is enacted during
the coming session Of congress-" con-
tinued Mr. Merrill for the time be-
ing the Country viii experience pros
perity and money will be plentiful for
all kinds of investments, and the gold
men will be able to make good their
claims that bimetallism was not neces-
sary for temporary prosperity
THE feeling among bimetallists gen
orally is that the fall elections have
been decidedly favorable to the bimet-
allie cause and there is still bright
outlook for the future of the white
metal
Mr.. Merrill also stated that he found
that a great deal of interest was be-
ing taken in the east in western min
ing enterprises and especially so as to
Mercur and Tintic camps, and that in
dications point to the fact that in the
near future q Large amount OF eastern
money win be seeking investment in
the mines of Utah.

ADVANCES NOTED IN MERcUR.
Highest Figure at Which This secur-
ity Has Ever Changed Hands.

A month ago Mercur was weak at
near the 81 mark, but yesterday it made
transfers on the floor of the exchange
at $500, and the stock was very firm at
this figure at the close. the impression
being that it will go still higher, which
is a plausible theory, considering that
the company has just banked $237 800
from the sale of less than seven acres
of its extensive holdings. The balance
of the listed stocks were quiet and
somewhat tame, no activity being no
ticeable il them, although prices and
quotations were virtually unchanged.
The unlisted securities were but little
noticed, and recorded only nominal quo
tations. Dalton was quite active at
give-away figures, and 5000 shares
changed hands in the neighborhood of
half a cent. Chloride Point was in eX-
cellent form, and recorded transfers at
the old figure-40 cents.
The committee appointed to fix up
the exchange room has been successful
in putting in electric lights, and in con-
sequence the pit presented quite a
cheerful appearance during the morn
ing hour.
The transactions of the day We're as
follows:
SALES OF STOCK.
SO Mercur at $500
1000 Dalton at 7-16 cents.
5000 Dalton at u cent
200 Chloride Point at 40 cents.

lows:

Their Prophets.

Their Prophets.
New York, Nov 15.-WiMiam A. Eddy.
the kite experimenter of Bayonne, N.
J., had an interesting experience Sat
urday night, in making his regular
weekly ascension. He is satisfied that
by means of observations taken at va
rious attitudes, indications of approach
ing thunder storms and other meteoro-
logical data can be secured. About 200
feet below his kites a thermometer was
hung and near it a collector of cleo
trio sparks. The results obtained Sat
urday night lead Mr.. Eddy to believe
that the electric condition of the air, as
shown by the varying height of the col
lectOT when the first spark is drawn,
may reveal the approach of storms in
even a clOudless sky. In particular, he
thinks it will prove advantageous in
determining the approach of local
storms.
