Chicago General Market.

Chicago, Jan. 21.-Not a vestige of
yesterdays strength existed in the
wheat market his morning. The bulge
of the day was the direct result of re-
ported heavy sales of cash wheat at
st. Louis, and when the claims were
emphatically denied today prices fiat
tened out and dropped to yesterdays
lowest figures. The Liverpool cables
were a disappointment, only an inSig-
nificant response to our gain of yeSter-
day being quoted at the opening, and
even that was lost later. The Gin
cinnati Price Current summary gave d
very encouraging crop outlook, and re-
ported the flour trade slack. Receipt

Island Mountain Diggings.

A gentleman who is just in from
Gold Creek, Elko county, New, which
is located rs miles north of Elko, in
activity there at the present time and
that the Island Mountain company is
making great preparations for ex-
tensive work during the coming sea-
son in the working of its placer
grounds. The undertaking of the COM
pany is gigantic in its proportions,
and its first contract for the building
of a big reservoir and the construction
of a long fiume calls for the expend-
iture of $780,
In the early days Island Gulch, as the
diggings were then known, were
worked below the mouth of the canyon
where there was fall enough to get
rid of the tailings, and a the space
of three years, it is stattt, the miners
took out over SS30.000. ~
The new company will work the
ground above the old workings and
with its long fiume and reservoir it
will be able to handle an immense
amout of rich and virgin ground that
could not be worked before
Gold City already has it's newspaper
and it is believed that early in the
spring the new camp will experience
genuine boom.
Forty miles south of Elko the same
company has purchased 1000 acres of
rich placer ground, and it is expected
that 1t Will put in extensive works at
that place also.
A number of the prominent citizens
OF ogden are interested in this enter
prise and it is believed that it will
make them a mint of money

1t was learned yesterday that strike
of rich ore had been made within the
! PAST few days in Skull Valley, and al
though efforts have been made to keep
the matter a secret, it has leaked out
that the new find promises to develop
into a bonanza. A number of mining
men in this city are making arrange
ments to get in on the ground floor in
the new golconda; and it is expected
that they will leave for the scene of
the new discoveries today or tomor-
low.
AS intimated above, the details of the
strike in the valley were largely with
held from the public, but it was
learned that the property on which the
discovery was made was in Box can
yon, near the Kanaka ranch and not
far from what is known as the Iron
mine.
George Kellogg, who is interested in
the ground on which the discovery was
made, WAS in the city yesterday with
d ton OF the ore which was consigned
to one of our valley smelters, and The
Herald was informed that the mill-run
test showed values of 43 per cent cop
per and $3.50 in gold to the ton.
1t is stated that the find was made
at the grass roots and consisted of
three or four stringers of ore from
three to four inches in width, from
which the rich ore was taken. These
stringers, it is said, were found in a
ledge of mineral from 300 to 400 feet
wide, and it is claimed that this body
OF ore carries average values of So in
gold to the ton.
From all accounts this mass of ore is
very similar in appearance to the prod
uct of the Mercur mines, with the eX-
ception that it is more strongly tinged
with red, but there is no doubt but
that it can be treated by the cyanide
process, and it is believed that with
depth the gold values will increase.
AS for the rich streaks, they are be-
ing developed as rapidly as possible
with two shifts, and if the bodies hold
out, or should join when greater depth
is attained, the find will surely prove
to be bonanza.
1t was but a short time ago that
the news of the discovery began to
circulate, yet already claimholders in
that locality are beginning to arrive
on the ground, and it will not be long
before the camp will blossom out into
great activity.

M'KENNA'S MODESTY.
It Is Just Probable He May Not En-
ter the Cabinet.

San Francisco, Jan. 21.-HOn. Joseph
McKenna, judge of the United States
circuit court, arrived in this city last
evening, direct from Canton, o., where
he has been in conference with PreSi-
dent-elect Mckinley.
Il have been to Canton" said Judge
McKenna to d representative of the
United Associated Presses, that is
well known. 1 have talked with the
rresident-elect concerning the cabinet
and concerning my taking a position
therein: but 1 wish to say that some
statements have been made in the
newspapers concerning me that are
not just So"
rs it true that you have been invited
TO accept position in the cabinet of
President Mckinley and that you have
decided to do SOP
Nothing has been decided" was the
response.
But were YOU not invited to visit
of the position alluded to-"
THAT is putting the matter too
broadly
But what is there as to the report
about the cabinet in connection with
yourself?"
Il am afraid the newspapers have
stated it too strongly. My visit to
canton mas Deen given TOO ElucH SlS
nificance. l do not deny that l may
enter President McKinley's cabinet, but
there are some obstacles. 1t is difficult
to express and be correctly understood,
the freedom which has been left with
Major Mckinley and myself.
Concerning the obstacles, judge, it
has been more than limited that one
obstacle to your accepting a cabinet
position might be the possibility of
your appointment to a seat on the
bench of the supreme court to succeed
Justice Stephen j. Field upon his re-
tirement'
Now" said Judge McKenna, decid
eddy, there is nothing at all to that
story When 1 mention impediments,
it is not to be understood that my go
ing into the supreme court is a condi
ton. The impediments are entirely
PERSONAL, which may prevent my going
into the cabinet-if the position should
be finally rendered to me-"
Further than this Judge McKenna
did not care to talk about any connec-
ton between himself and the cabinet
of the president-elect.
Il was not candidate for a cabi-
net position when 1 went to Canton"
he said, nor am l a candidate for
such a position now.

There was an excellent tone to the
mining share market yesterday and
some of the features in the dealings
in the pit of the Stock Exchange We're
very interesting.
Swansea, which was given a new
lease on its tenure as a favorite stock
with the brokers, experienced another
bear attack yesterday and slumoed
quite heavily, and for no apparent
reason. On the previous day this Sc
curity advanced to s2.45 in the bid
ding, and sales were made at this fig
ure. Yesterday, however. the stock
weakened rapidly and sales were
chronicled at S2.25. and the closing
quotations were at this figure. Out
side of the Swansea, general advances
were noted and some of the leading
stocks were in good demand at de-
cided gains.
The listed stocks were sluggish and
failed TO make any transfers. Ajax
was stationary but firm at the ruling
figures. Bullion-B enjoyed an up
ward tendency and made gains both in
the bidding and the offerings. Daily and
DAILY West were strong, while Galen=
and Geyser recorded slight advances
in the bids.
In the unlisted stocks which We're
the only ones to make any sales. Swan
sea sustained losses and was weak at
thee close. Rover sprang rapidly into
prominence and made transfers at an
advance. Valeo was weak and was
offered way down. Dexter, however,
was much stronger than it has been
for the past week and changed hands
at an advance. Richmond & Anaconda
also noted gains and there was con-
sidera BILE inquiry for these stocks. Dali
ton was stronger with an upward tend
ency noticeab bic. Sunbeam and Buck
eye were stationary but firm. The
feature of the call was the advance in
Northern Light and the fact that the
stock sold at 81 a share, which is the
first time that this security has
touched this mark. One of the brokers
was in excellent spirits over the sale,
as he had a wager that this stock
would go UP to dollar before the end
of the week.
The transactions of the day were as
follows:
SALE OF STOCK.
800 Swansea at S2.25.

THE MINES OF MARYsvALE.
Encouraging Showing in the Alma
Mine.

Willis and NJ. K. Ames, who have
just returned from the Marysvale dis
trict, where they have been engaged in
directing the work being done in the
development of the Alma mine near
the mouth of Cottonwood creek, state
that they are more than pleased with
the showing made in this promising
property, and that they are convinced
that with proper work it Will open out
into one of the greatest producers of
the camp, and this opinion is concurred
in by the old miners OF the district,
who say that nowhere else in that re-
gion are there such strong and we'll

While prospecting the lodges on the

off pieces OF quartz at the grass roots
that are specked and spotted with gold

consequence of which a tunnel is being
run to catch the ore body, and when
this is encountered the Alma can be
listed among the rich producers of the
district.
These gentlemen are also interested
in the Gold Belt of claims, southwest
of the Dalton mine. A patent has Just

is the intention to resume the devel
opment of this property in the spring.
On the Crystal mine. a short distance
UP the canyon from the Alma, the
company is working a large force of
men, and it is expected that this prop
erty will begin ore shipments at an
early dav.
On the Deer Trail, one of the noted
old mines of the camp, and which is
only a short distance from the Alma, it
is stated that o. j. Salisbury will con-
tract for 1000 feet of tunnel work
early in the spring. and if this is done
considerable life and visor will be in
fused into that end of the camp.
The Platter mine, mention of which
appeared in The Herald of the 20th
inst, adjoins the Alma, and Mr.. Ames
corroborates the report of the recent
strike in this property. and also states
that it is believed that q fine body of
pay ore has been encountered in this
ground.

grading between Belknap and Marys-
