RICHES M MEXICO.
Placer and Quartz Mines Recently
Discovered.

Kansas City, Sept. "a special to
the Journal from Sedalia says that ].
W. Corkins, q capitalist, and Leo
Cloud. an expert mining engineer Of
Cincinnati, o., representatives of a St.
Louis and Cincinnati syndicate, will
leave here tomorrow for the west
coast OF Mexico to practically verify
the value of gold placer and quartz
mines which have recently been Sc
cured by the syndicate through con-
cessions and mineral land grants from
the Republic Of Mexico.
Messrs. Corkins and Cloud will go
direct to Hermosillo and from there
to the gold fields in the new Ell
Dorado, located in the Yaqui Indian
country which has just been opened
to entry to white men. This part of
Mexico has been explored but little by
the whites, but If the reports of the
syndicate prospectors are true the
mountain ranges along the west coast
of Mexico are richer even than those
of the hlondihe.
The placer mines are said to be
marvelously rich in scale and nugget
gold, While the quartz rock in the
upper lodges contain veins of free
milling ore which assay from $50 to
5000 per ton, The syndicate succeeded
in keeping the discovery q secret while
securing its mining patents and con-
cessions and if the reports received
here are substantially correct the
syndicate viii be able to turn the tide
of fortune hunters from the gold fields
of Alaska TO the Ell Dorado of Mexico.

DEPAULTER GROCER.
Still at Large and Evidence Accumu-
lating Against Him.

Trenton, n. j.. Sept. 5.-Peter W.
Grocer. the defauIting treasurer of the
Mechanics Building & Loan association.
is stiH at large. Yesterday a shortage OF
$1,000 was discovered in class Il of the
Mercer Building & Loan association At
the time Crozer's books We're examined
thew showed no receipts for this class,
and Grocer volunteered the. information
that the projected class had never been
formed.
since then, however. a number OF per-
sons have turned up who have been pay
ing into class II for about three years,
and Expert Harding says the total
amount of these payments will amount
to about $1,000.
1t IS generally understood that there
will be no opposition before Vice Cham
cellor Gray in Camden on Tuesday to the
appointment of a receiver for the wrecked
concerns
the share holders of these classes, ac-
cording to CroZer's books who suffered the
greatest loss by the stealing will oppose
a distribution of the remaining assets on
the bass of Crozer's books, and Will in
sist that the share holders of all classes
sustain a loss in proportion to the amount
of money paid in. This matter may not
come up before the vice chancellor on
Tuesday, however 1t may be left to be
disposed of by the court after the re-
ceiyer is appointed.

Pittsburg. Sept. 5.-Expeetadons are
high in coal mining circles over the
probable resumption of work in the
mines throughout the country.
In anticipation of settlement an
other plan has been suggested by one
of the largest operators which will be
agitated after the men return to work
It will be formulated and submitted to
the joint convention Of operators and
miners which it is proposed to hold
next December. In order to come to
an understanding on all questions at
ISSUE separate wage scales are TO be
formulated for each mine The scale
is to provide for the rate to be paid
for the entire year and any special con-
cessions that are to be made are to be
agreed upon by the miners and the
operators and SO specified in the scale
The scale is to be an adjunct TO the
uniformity agreement which is e1-
pected to be In force. The proposition
viii be made by the operators in the
hope of putting all the safeguards pos
stble against a probable strike. 1t is
we'll known that there are not two
mines in the entire district where the
conditions are exactly alike The uni
forulityi agreement covers the general
points but even with it in existence. all
operators would be subjected to diff
culties, while others have special ad-
vantages. The scale is to cover all the
points, the primary object being to
avert differences and create q more
friendly feeling between the employees
and employers.
Phillip Stambaugh, a cousin of Pres
ident Mckinley, and partner in the
firm of Osborne, Saeger & Co.., was in
Pittgburg this afternoon. He said the
men formerly employed in the Eclipse
mine on thu Wheeling division OF the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad would be
asked to go to work tomorrow morn
ing at the SIS. cent rate. He was not
prepared to say how many men WouIo
so to work.
David Van Eman, manager of the
Pittsburg & Chicago Gas Coal com
panv's mines at Snowden and Gaston-
vile. announced more than week ago
that he would resume work in his
mines tomorrow morning. Notices were
served on all the men living in COM
pany houses to vacate and the ten
day limit expires in the morning. AT
the mines it was stated yesterday that
more men would go to work Manager
Van Eman could not be seen but it is
generally supposed that no effort VII
be made to resume until after the Co.
lumbua convention.

CHARLOTTE SMITHS SCHEME,
HER CRUSADE AGAINST BACHE-
LoR POLITICIANS.
Idea Taken Up By the Women's Res
cue League of Decentralization
Has Had Entirely Too Much Lee
Way Heretofore.

Boston, Sept. 5.-Tne recent mani
festo of Mrs. Charlotte Smith against
the bachelor politician was the sub
ject of much attention from the Wom-
ans Rescue League of this city yes
terday. AS a result a set of resolutions
was passed setting forth that the
American bachelor politician shirks his
duty to the human family when he
fails to provide a home for some good
woman before he engages in the pro-
fession of politics; therefore he is not
to be trusted after he has entered a
political arena in which temptations
surround him on all sides, and that IN
fortunately modern society has here
tofore given the political bachelor too
much latitude by ignoring his private
life.
Resolved that as far as practicable
a list of bachelor politicians who are
aspirants for public office be obtained
in the state of Massachusetts and for
NAL protests be sent out against their
election OF reelection by the Woa11n's
Rescue League on the ground that they
are ineligible to hold public office.
The league congratulates Edwin Up
ton Curtis. ex-mayor of Boston, on his
approaching marriage and recommends
for him a two years vacation from pol
tics in which TO enjoy his honeymoon.
