GOOD DAY FOR STOCKS.
a Number OF Properties Come In Fol
Notice and Recognition.

Stocks were quite active on the floor
of the mining exchange yesterday, and
the dealings were distributed over quite
a range of leading securities.
Ajax, during the morning call, chron-
icled continued advances, and closed
strong at 81 cents bid, while there was
a noticeable demand for Bullion-Beck
and Centennial Eureka. Four Aces re-
corded another fractional gain, and was
somewhat stronger in the asking than
during the previous call. Considerable
attention was paid to Geyser- Marion,
which was active and ready seller at
about the closing quotations of the day
before Mammoth fell off somewhat in
the bidding, while the same could be
said of Mercur. and yet both of these
securities were firm in the holdings.
Northern Light was one of the features
of the call, and made an excellent rec
ord, as web as gains over previous fig
uIes, holders being rather averse to
selling at the prices quoted. Overland
advanced to 35 cents in the bidding,
with no sellers in the pit Ontario
made its presence felt by the transfer
Of 100 shares at S405.
In the unlisted stocks considerable

| being that 200 shares were transferred
at 46 cents. Swansea noted 4 sale at q

and by their light 1 was enabled to see
a shoe, the evident cause of the disturb
ance, settling itself beside my bed. Rea-
soning logically, now, from effect to
cause, L promptly returned the shoe to
its proper owner, my cousin Harry,
who was making a very poor sham at
sleeping in bed across the room. At
ter this little exchange Of morning
courtesies we were ready for our morn
ing sport. Three of US. my cousin Har
ry, his father, Captain Maynard, and
myself, had come down the night be-
fore TO spend a week, with Lieutenant
Blake, friend and brother officer of
Harry's father, in his little shanty, as
he called it. We had heard much of the
prodigious size of the black bass and
pickerel he had at odd times captured
in the lake near which his house was
situated. We had not, on our arrival,
found our host at home. Tied on the
gate, however, and streWn along the
path to the house in various conSpicu
Gus places were an assorted variety of
notes explaining his absence They
We're to the effect that he had been sud
denly called away, but that the door
was ajar, the cupboard full and beds
ready, that he would be ON the opposite
side of the lake at the next morning,
and that, if we would row over for him,
he would show US where to catch the
early fish. After a somewhat hasty
breakfast we made our &ay to the
shore plentifully supplied with tackle
Of every description, expecting to bring
untold carnage on our scaly neighbors.
The boat was securely locked to a sta
pie, which, in turn, was imbedded in a.
bowlder weighing at least half ton.
Our host had forgotten to inform us
where the KEY was to be found, and
our attempts to pick the lock were
quite fruitless- Harry had just begun
to speculate as to whether or not the
lieutenant could swim when the man
himself appeared on the opposite side
of the lake. AS something more than
half a mile separated him from US, it
was out of the question to call, and
Harry and 1 wondered how we could
make him understand the situation.
But here the military training of the
captain and lieutenant came into play.

On narrow track that ran from the

chunky iron car, heavily laden with
rock from the mine, and being propelled
by three stout miners. They pushed 1t

the way the lieutenant had treated

captain assured US that they represent
