Mr. Fitzgerald states that as work
progresses the bodies of ore encoun-
tered in the mine are getting larger
and better. Ore that averages 500 per

A general shaking UP is said to be
board of directors of the Geyser- Marion
company.
It was stated authoratively yesterday
that Theodore Bruback, president of
the company. had been asked TO resign
the presidency. at the request of Colonel
Miner and other associates in the com
pany.
Mr.. Bruback. Joseph Smith and S. t.
Pierson, who have formed a part of the
directory for some. time past, formerly
held like positions in the Old Marion
with the Geyser in order to settle a
tedious legal dispute over the title to
certain ground.
1t is alleged that all has not been har-
monious since the change, and st is
likely that when the next meeting is
called there VIII be other changes to
note in the make up of the board. 1t
is said Mr.. Brubaek's holdings IN the
Geyser- Marion are only ten shares.
1t was reported last evening that Mr.
Brubach had complied With the request
to hand in his resignation as president
of the company. just before he left
for Idaho, however, he was waited upon
by Herald representative and fatty
denied that he had been asked to resign
or that he mad handed in his resignation
during the day but declared that he
intended to remain in the position he
is in at the present time.
1t is probable that a very prominent
official of the Mercur company will be-
come president after the next meeting
of the directors, and that another
official of the same company wiM be

tain De Lamars mines, was busy
yesterday morning fixing up the details
concurrent with the closing up of the
deal ON the Backyard property at Mer-
cur, which adjoins De Lanlar's Golden
Gate mine.
II is stated that the purchase price
was something like 81 per share, so the
amount of money that has changed
hands foots up TO something like a
quarter of a million dollars The inter
est purchased was owned principally
by John Deru, E. H. Airis, E. A. Wall
and Mathew Osborn.
Mr. Conen states that a drift is being
run from the 400 foot level of Tue
Golden Gate mine, so that the BrIok-
yard ore will be brought through that
tunnel TO the Golden Gate shaft and
thence 1.oisted to the surface, where
it will undergo treatment in the great
mill now under construction.
Mr. Cohen has just returned from
New York, where he has been in con-
sultation with the captain. and it is be-
lieved that the De Lamar holdings at
Mercur will be increased by the fddi-
ton of other surrounding properties at
an early date.

NOTES OF THE DAY.

Pennsylvania man owns a horse
which he says is worth 1000 to him.
He had offered $500 to anyone who
would cure him of the habit of balk-
ing, and all to no purpose. He then
procured a three-volt storage battery
with which he connected each side of
the bit and crupper by means of three
wires. The horse, when hitched to a
road cart. braced his fore feet and at
first refused to move, but at the first
push of the button he Jumped, snorteG
and moved off. Each day for a, week
he was given the same lesson, and is
now the. owners pride, as he never
balks, bites or kicks.
Ir London, a few days ago. a baker
named Charles Engleman, employed in
Harrow road, met his death in an ex-
traordinary manner. His master found
him dead downward in the kneadfng
trough, surrounded by the fermenting
dough he had evidently been working,
and which had risen uD all around his
head. How the deceased came to be
in the position in which he was found
is a mystery, but it is surmised that
the unfortunate fellow had a fit. and,
falling head foremost into the dough,
was thus suffocated while unconscious.
Thomas E. Dixon Of Henderson, KY.
is credited with the intention of a sex
tuplex system of biography, which
has been tested and found to work
successfully. This enables the send
ing of six messages over a single wire
at the same time. The duadruDlex
system is said to have resulted in q
saving OF S20.00O,000 to one of the great
telegraph companies alone that had
previously used the duplex system.
The sextuplex system is, therefore, an
important discovery.
The greatest and strongest chain
ever made has but recently left the
Upton Green iron works in England.
It is intended for crane work at Chath-
am wharf and consists of oval links
forged severaily of three and one-half-
inch rods, each link being 20 inches
long and 10 wide Since there was no
machinery available for testing a
chain of such dimensions, the test was
made by actual suspension of a weight
