This body at once took umbrage established new headquarters and rem.tted ito Sec retary Boles the amount due for rent the first week in September. MT. Boles would not allow the furniture ito be moved until the rent for the entire month was paid.
 Joseph Beitman, a repres anjtative of the organization, was present and stated their side. Secretary Boles said that Whelan had informed him that the pool tables were in bad condition and that he found some of fhe members of the Young hTen'a Hebrew association sitting in chairs on the tables and shooting the ballss with the wrorg end of the cues on Sunday.

Kind as Sister Of Charity or nurse may be, they cannot replace the lov- ing ministrations of a mother. This ever recurring tragedy could be avoided if wo- men would but learn the vital importance of caring for the health and vigor of the del1- cate organs that bear the burdens of matern- ity. The woman who negiects weakness and disease of these organs is unfitted for fnoth- erhood and it only holds out to her the cer- tainty of agonizing pain and possible death.
 A sure, safe, and speedy cure for all weak ness and disease of the organs distinctly feminine is found i'll Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It prepares for motherhood by making these organs strong, healthy aud elastic. If taken during the period preced- ing motherhood it banishes the usual dis comforts.

in 1893. and $126.077, ,0OO in 1892, so that
 the gain over the same months in the
 best of past years. Is r per cent. These evidences of revivlng prosperity are the
 manufactured products have advanced
 but moderately and are much below the
 level of 1892, while speculative markets
 are all declining with curious unani-
 mity, as if the large crops which make
 grain and cotton weak would not insure
 increased business to railways and
 warrant better prices for stocks. The
 wheat estimates of 59O, ,0o0, 900 bushels, about 2OO,0O0,0O0 bushels more than would
 be required for food and seed, leaving the smallest stocks for six years with out replenishment, was followed by de- .creases in foreign buying and caused
 weakness. Yet western receipts for four weeks were but 27,S25,554 bushels, against 24,O94,O44 for the same weeks last year, and Atlantic exports flour in- cluded, are 16,925.11s bushels, against s'17e,S64 last year, while Pacific ship-' ments were also heavy and corn exports continue over 70 per cent more than last year. The price of wheat has declined 5 cents, and of corn nearly 2 cents for the week.
 Turning from speculative markets to productive industry, the ehaalge in tone is striking All industries are n1lshed to increase working force, with occasional 1dse in rate of wages by dhe growng de- manG. This is largely for replenishment of stocks, but dispatches show that re- tail trade at nearly all northern points continues ito expand, and dealers well know that increase of working force and wages ensures a larrer distribution Of goods. Anxious appeals for speedy deliveries disclose more rapid distnbu-
 tbon already than had been expected. In txtile manufactures the works have been hinderod from taking as liberal orders as they might by doubts as to future prices, though h2ving enough ito do for some time. The advance for cot ton goods has been checked by the de- cl.ne n the material. but in woo'en goods advance in prices have been small com- pared with tn rise in wool which show especially stronger prices a. the Lon don prices The dealings, mainly spec ulative, have amounted to 66 ,5O1 100 pounds in four weeks, AS. .572, 200 being do- mestic but recent sales of very large lots suggest that profit tal0ng may flave begun.
 Slower to gain, because less affected by replenishment eff dealers stocks than other industries, the iron manufactures have been pushed to further expan-lon uoIts, which have caused a little further advance in prices, while pig iron is also higher, 9 cents for Bessemer at Pitts burg, with purchases of 30000 tons by one concern, and as much higher for anthracite No. 1, with No. advanced by the association to $105O, and south ern No. no longer offered bslow $S at Birmingham. The average advance to all iron and steel prices, 9.9 per cent. from the lowest point, is still restricted by the addition of many furnaces and other works to those in operat on.
 Failures for the week have been 194 in tine United States, against 299 last year, and S4 in the Dominion of Canada, against 46 last year.

TIE BUSY WHIRL IF TRADE As Compiled by BradStreetS and
 Dun. BUSINESS IN THE SOUTH At a Stand-StiIl Owing to the Prevailing Epi- demc-lron on the Advance
 Weeks Failures.

New York, Oct. 1-Bradstreet's tonlor- row will say: General trade is marked by increased activity in wool, hides, iron and steel and their manufactured pro- ducts, but business in the quarantined districts remains at a standstill and at all except a few nortifwesterns xlistribut- ing centerS in spring wheat states, where business is relatively most ac- tive, there is a check to the demand for dry goods, hats and clothing. Fa- vorable reports come from a section ex- tending from Knoxville to St. Paul and from Omaha to Milwaukee. The ten- dency is to increase estimates for the wheat crop and increase the probable yield of cotton.
 The price movement shows a long list of unchanged quotations this week. in- cluding iron and steel staples, wool, hides, print cloths, lumber, nails, cop per, pork, beef, coffee and sugar. In creases are confined to a nominal ad- vance for anthracite coal, 25c for Besse- mer pig iron, fractional gains for leaf tobacco, naval storss, butter, lard and another advance for wooden goods Po- tatoes have reacted from the extremely high prices at the west and cotton is off further. Lead is lower as are corn, oats and flour, in sympathy with wheat, which dropped Pc on Bradstrset's re- ported increase of nearly 10000, 900 bush els in the worlds visible stocks.
 Wheat (four included as wheaD ex- ports from both coasts of the United States and Montreal this week slightly exceed those of last week. the total az giregates 5,924,246 bushels against 5,S0S,- S25 bushels last week. 4,215,294 in the week a year ago, 2,613,S66 bushels in 1895, 3,243,1 100 bushels in 1894, and 3,1S9,- 900 buShels in 1893.
 Corn exports show a considerable fall ing off, the total being 31OS,601 bushsls against 4,O22, 900 bushels last week. 3,165,- 900 bushels a year ago. 1,3S3,754 bushels in 1885, 9S,OOO bushels in 1894 and 642, ,O0O bushels in 1893.
 The total number of business failures in the United States for nine months re- ported by Brldstreets is 9,S33, decrease of 13 per cent. from the corresponding total last year. but per cent. more than in 1894 and Il per cent. fewer than in the corresponding period of 1893. This years failing corporations, firms and in- dividual report SIS, ,6S4 900 liabilities, a total of 30 per cent. smaller than one year ago, about per cent. larger than dn nine ngontihs eff 1895, and of 1894 and 64 per cent. less than in the correspond ig pericd of 1893. The rate of failures in proportion to the number in business is decreasing. With reference to liabilities the falling off is notilaeably rapid.
 Business failures throughout the De- minion of Canada amounted to 1,501 for the past nine months, a falling off as compared with last year of 150 or less than 10 per cent. Total liabilities are $1O65SOOO this year against $12,219O 900 last I1ear

A Big Mining Ente rprise.

Two gangs of workmen have just
begun digging, in Colorado, the
longest tunnel that man ever attempt
ed to construct. The main bore will
be twenty miles long and connecting
with this, subsi liary tunnels with
total length of thirty miles. So, in
reality. says the San Francisco Ex-
aminer. the task that has been put
under way is that of digging fifty
miles of tunnel, and every foot of
this vast system will be under Pixies
Peak and the mountains that tower
on each side.
The starting point of the main
tunnel is at the foot of the noun
tain leading up to Pixies Peak, near
the old town of Colorado City. This
point is but short distance from the
railroad which spans the conntry be-
tween Colorado Springs and Man
itou. From here it runs almost due
southwest. The further end of the
tunne is at the edge of the noun
tains at Four-mile creek, over in
Fremont county, Col, six miles
south of Cripple Creek and near the
little town of Sunol. Two gangs of
men, as stated, are working on the
tunnel, one at each end. Just at
the present they are making progress
at rate Of thirty feet day. tits be-
lieved that the mammoth task they
have undertaken will be completed
in seven years from the first of the
present month.
The main tunnel will pass directly
under the cone of Pixies Peak at a
depth of nearly 1000 feet, and 2.
700 feet beneath the town of Victor
Its average depth from the surface
will be $500 feet, and it is designed
to test the mineral deposits of the
territory atthese great depths. Thirty
miles of laterals are contemplated
and these will pass underneath al
the Cripple Creek district at an aver
age depth of $500 feet. Cripple
Creek, Victor, Gillett, the various
small towns and thousand mines
are to be made tributary to thi
system.
Under present circumstances the
distance-the shortest way-fron
Colorado Springs to Cripple Greek
is ffty-four miles. BY way of thu
tunnel the two cities will only b,
sixteen miles apart. 1t is estimated
by the contractors that the averag
per foot Of excavation will be $50
This makes the total probable ex
pense of digging the tunnel and it
subsidiary branches 500, $40, 900. Al
of this sum the tunnel people expec
to crush out of the ore their work
men will break while exoavating, o

A Prescott, Arizona, Courier repor
er asked miner few days ago for
news about his mine. The miner
replied that he did no newspaper
mining, but worked in the ground,
which is good MS far as it goes, but
100 men might work in the ground
for ten generations and. were it not
for the newspapers, no one outside
of their immediate neighborhood
would ever hear of it. They might
have the best prospect on earth, but
no purchasers would come and no
outside investment would be at hand
because the outsiders would never
hear of it, without the use of print
er's ink to advertise the fact. Col
orado owes its prominence in the
mining field as much to newspaper
advertising as to any other cause.
Not to let the word know that you
have good prospect is to "hide
your light under the bushel." The
newspaper man expects no direct
pay for publishing good news about
the prospects; he expects to put
money into circulation by attracting
outside capital to buy that prospec
and work it, and if he can do this
everybody will prosper. If he il
not allowed to doit, few prospects O
mines will be sold, nobody viii
prosper. This is the whole thing
in nutshell.

as the Argonaut, is to commence pub
licatlon at Elko on September 1st.

These are hard times for the silver
miner, yet number of them keep
pegging away. Henry Wellahd does
not lose faith in the West Point
claims and several men are kept at
work. There is big showing there
of what. under old prices would be
more than average grade silver-lead
ore. As it is, the outlook justifies
further work in the hope of striking
it richer.
Prospecting for silver hereabouts
is out of the question with silver at its
present prices and several old pros
pectors are turning their attention
to copper properties. Bristol and
Jack Rabbit District have always
produced well in copper and parties
there are going after copper veins
with increased ardor.
There will be no changes made in
the Mint until July the l 1898. The
Carson Weekly ventures to predict
that Geo. W. Linkens will be install
led as superintendent. 1t is the
general impression in this section of
the State that G. H. Sproule of the
Elko Free Press was docketed for
that position. Review.
The boy who smokes cigarettes,
drinks ardent spirits, loafs on the
streets in the day time and hangs
over the gambling table at night is
the one that is styled the "young
sport" in this day and age, but in
later years when his hair begins to
get frosty with age he will real
ize what fool he was and wonder
with astonishment why he was al
lured to such evil habits.
