STOCK TRANSFERS LIGHT.
Quotations Firm, But Little Activity
on the Floor of the Exchange.

The tone of the stock market was
fairly strong yesterday, and yet but lit
tie more was done in the pit other than
the establishment Of official quotations,
buying orders for the day being rather
light
In the listed stocks the board scored
a Whitewash, and the bear element EVIL
IDENTIFY had control of the pit, although
they were not at all vicious in their at
tacks on leading securities. In the bid
ding Geyser-M Marion was unchanged.
Galena suffered declines, while Mercur
was not as strong, although in the Of
feringS the stock was firm at $3.50.
Mammoth registered Slight gains, and
was very strong at the quotation given
below. Northern Light was practically
unchanged.
! Chloride Point was the most active
among the unlisted stocks, and record
ed sales at the usual figure, thus saving
this class of securities from the disas-
ter that befel the regularly listed
stocks. Swansea was a favorite in the
bidding, but the steady progress up
ward being made by this security fails
to draw out any shares, which were
steady at $1.95 in the offerings. South
Swansea was also popular, although it
did not quite touch the bidding quota
ton of the previous day. Sacramento
was firmly held at % cents in the offer
ings notwithstanding the fact that bid
ding has declined to 1872 cents.
The transactions of the day We're as
follows:
SALES OF STOCKS.
100 Chloride Point at 40 cents.
100 Chloride Point at 3924 cents.

Beaver Lake district that a fine ledge
of ore had been encountered in the bot

sides which samples Of ore were sent in
and ASsayer Anderson wrote that this
is the best ore he had seen from the
district, as 1T gave values by fire tests
of 1853 ounces silver, So in gold and 70

over the report.
Flagstaff and bonded by the Bradbury

Minneapolis, is now down vertically 40
feet and follows the ledge all the way.
The ore vein at the bottom is clear
across the shaft and gives a splendid
prospect in free gold. The parties hay-

continue development with a view of
purchasing the property within the

esting at the Black Diamond.

Matters are becoming exceedingly
interesting at the Black Diamond, at
Stockton, and from the present show
ing in the property the indications
are that it viii soon open out into one
of the big and rich mines for which
that camp has been so justly famous.
Mention has been made in these
columns from time to time relative to
progress being made in the develop
ment of the Black Diamond and now
the vein recently encountered in the
east and west drift was gradually in
creasing in size as work progressed,
while the values We're all that could
be desired
j. e. Morris, the superintendent Of
the mine, writes very encouragfngly
regarding the property and in a letter
received by the company he states:
THE workings are now in the best
looking ore I ever saw, the left side
Of the drift being all ore, While the
hanging wall is lime and identical with
the surface showings. l think the ore
we are now in is from the north and
south vein and that the mineral was
shot into the east and west vein from
the south. During the past few days
| have taken out two ore sacks full of
solid galena and silver that is very
rich. [ am of the opinion that there
is lots of bromide in the ore as it is
lighter in color than copper, and I am
just as sure as can be that we Will
reach the juncture of the two veins at
an early date. The east and west vein
shows lots of iron in the ore and the
silica has almost disappeared"
In the letter Mr. Morris gave a num-
Der of mine ASSAYS of the average ore
as follows:

Four Thousand Croatians Ready For
Western Immigration.

Denver, Nov. 17.-Charles Kuharich,
secretary of the Croatian Colonization
company, of New York City, is now in
Denver making his headquarters with
the Colorado immigration & Develop

1900 families that are now ready for
western immigration with may more

The Croatians are industrious and
frugal. They are of the SIav race of
southern Germany, Croatia being one
of the provinces of Austria, and the
language is similar to that of Russia
and several of the other provinces of
southern Austria. The people who Mr.
Kuharich represents prefer fruit
vegetable and grape lands, in the
cultivation Of which they are among
the most expert people in the world.
The largest colonies of these people

per-No Prospecting is Possible
Until Next June.

Several eastern and a few western
papers have recently published ridicu-
lousy exaggerated accounts of the
wild excitement over the gold finds
in the Grand Encampment district,
Wyoming. These stories, apparently
emanating from a townsite company
are calculated to do great injury to the
district and to create a stampede that
will result disastrously to hundreds of
people who may be misled by fairy
tales. The Grand Encampment district
is one of such promise that The Her

and u t0-100 per cent copper per ton
The Charter Oak copper mine, in the
Encampment district, and about five
miles northeast of the Rambler, gave
returns OF Is per cent copper two
ounces of silver. 81 gold and 10 per cent

feet deep, and it is now bonded by
English capitalists.
The BuckhOrn claim has a vein 10
feet wide, and some fine specimens of
gold has been obtained from the rock.
Assays from this ore run from $40 to
$500, depending on the richness of the
specimen.
In addition to these claims there are
at least rs or 100 more in these dis
tricts that are being developed slowly,
that give promise of richness. In
nearly every instance values increase
as shafts are sunk to a greater depth.
Some 400 claims have been located in
these districts, and there are many
good claims, as good if not better,
than those which have been located.

Scheme to Gobble the Mineral Lands

Wichita, Kan, Nov. 1.-THE latest
man in Wichita with a chunk OF
Wichita mountain mineral in his
pocket is Mr.. p. L. Hews, Of Navajo,
Greer county, Oklahoma.
Mr.. Hews says he is captain of
band of 10000 boomers who will break
into the Wichita country and take it
by storm. The army of boomers is yet
to be raised.
The Wichita mountains lie in the
Kiowa and COmanche Indian country
and i'll Greer county, Oklahoma Along
in the sixties these Indians were given
this land to hold until October, 1897.
When the country is really opened
there will be inaugurated a period of
excitement unprecedented in the south
west. The mineral is there and there
will be a rush. The Rock Island al
ready has a survey running through
the mountains and the Choctaw road
could easily divert a branch into the
heart of the hills.

THE PRATT CHARGES,
BURToN's WITHDRAWAL WILL
NOT AFFECT THE SITUATION.
Commissioner Dininny Says the Chief
Will be Tried Just the Same
Said He Understood a Position
Will be Provided For Him.

The withdrawal by Henry B. Burton
of the charges made by him against
Chief of Police Arthur Pratt, and upon
which the dethroned chief was suspend
cd several weeks ago, was mildly
sensational affair yesterday among the
political admirers and opponents of
Mr.. Pratt. The inquiry which followed
Mr.. Burtons action developed the opin-
ion on one side, at least, that there
was a political niger in the Woodpile
in connection with this affair.
1t is claimed that Mr.. Burton's with
drawal of the charges was prompted by
a pressure of influence brought to bear
on him.
Mr. Burton informed Commissioner
Dininny of the action he proposed to
take several days before he placed the
formal withdrawal in the hands of
Commissioner kenyon.
COMMISSIONER DININNY'S VIEWS.
81 have known for some time what
was coming" said Commissioner Din
inny yesterday. "a few days ago Mr..
Burton came to my office and said he
was going to withdraw the charges. a
few hours before this I had heard that
Burton had been promised a position
worth $125 a month in the new admin
istration if he WCald Withdraw the
charges. I asked him point blank if
this was not the case. He replied that
it was not quite right, as he had not
been promised anything absolutely. but
that he understood he was to have such
a DoSitiOn.'

WILL HAVE NO EFFECT.

What effect will the withdrawal of
the charges have on the future action
of the board?'
at will make no difference, as [ told
Mr.. Burton at the time. The board took
the charges under consideration, and
when the time comes they will proceed
to try the chief under them. I have not
spoken to the other members of the
board on the subject, as Commissioners
Noble and Grant are absent, but l feel
satisfied that this is what will be done.
According to my understanding, there
can be no withdrawal of the charges,
except through the consent of the
board. Commissioners Grant and No
BILE will be back in about two weeks,
when meeting will be held and this
subject be taken up.
