That Big Rail Purchase.

New York, Feb. 2.-Stuyvesant Fish,
president of the Illinois Central rail-
road, said yesterday of the placing of
contracts of $4,000 tons of steel rails:
THE directors not only authorized
the purchase of 25,400 tons of steel
rails, recommended by the chief
engineer for this years renewals, but
also awaited themselves of the low
price TO buy 24,600 tons additional. The
steel rail combination has done in
calculable harm to the iron trade in
maintaining an arbitrary price, out of
all proportion 10 the cost of the ma
terials and labor used in the manufac-
ture. Formerly and for some years to-
gether, the railroads could sell a ton
and a third of old rails for the cost of
a ton of new steel rails. Last year the
prices in Chicago were $40 for old rails
and S29 for new ones, which made the
ratio 29-10 tolls of old for one ton of
new rails. If the railroads place orders
for enough rails to relay one-tenth of
their entire mileage this year. we shall
see increased activity in every branch
of trade at an early day"

High Grade Gold.

The mining fever has taken hold of
some of those interested in mining
since it has leaked out that a secret
test of some ore had been made on ore
taken from the Golden Gate mine, and
that cents in gold had been taken
from an ounce of ore with a pan. This
would indicate, says the Mirror of
Moscow, Ida, that at the same rate a
ton of ore would yield $3.50. provided
that all the gold was saved by the
crude process; but if fine gold can be
saved with the panning process with
the greatest care, the yield would run
upwards of $4,000 to the ton. An assay
was made by Professor Goodwin, as
saver at the University of Idaho, from
some samples taken from the same
mine. 1t showed $45S 10 the ton. The
result of the tests made with the pan
was kept quiet for several days, but it
finally leaked out and there was a
commotion among those interested in
mining. The samples from which the
tests were made was taken out of an
old shaft less than so feet below the
surface, almost among the roots of
pine ten inches thick.

TRANSPORTATION OF METALS.
If This Is True the Mining Industry
Is Ruined.

St Louis, Feb. 12.-Benjamin Brazille,
of this CITY, scientist and inventor,
claims to have solved not only the
problem of the transmutation of
metals, but of the transmutation of
clay into gold, silver. iron and other
metals.
More than this. he claims to have
discovered the true source of electricity
and says that by it he is enabled to
work the marvels he has in store for
the future All the known laws of
chemistry are to be revolutionized and
the dreams of alchemists are to be-
come practical realities. By actual
test, Mr.. Brazille asserts, he has
changed silver into gold and gold into
silver. The transmutation of metals
he considers the most insignificant
part Of the discoveries he has made
a mere nothing in comparison with the
feat of changing clay into gold. silver.
iron, calcium, aluminium, glaucinium
and fifteen other metals not known to
science, whose qualities have not yet
been determined by the discoverer
Mr. BraZille advances the theory that
metals are endowed with life and
growth the same as any plant when
placed under the proper conditions. a
company backed by strong capital has
begun the erection of a plant at Fair
lawn. St. Louis, to test Mr.. Brazille's

One of Lincoln County's Resources.

Lode, De Lamar. New: How little
the people of Nevada know about the
resources of this state was illustrated
recently at Carson. ]. A. Yerington
received several sheets of mica from
the celebrated Czarina mine. situated
in the St. Thomas mining district, in
Lincoln county, Nevada, from which
shipments have been made TO Man
chester, England. and pronounced of
the finest quality. Mr.. YeringtOn has
several sheets cut from a block of
solid mica that clearly demonstrates
the value of the property.
Mr.. Yerington has had an option on
the property for several months. and
has been working to attract the atten-
ton of capital. which he has at last
succeeded in doing, and will be brought
more prominently before large consum-
ers of the product at any early day.
The United States government geclog-
ical surveyors pronounce the find of
the best quality and very valuable.
They are now cutting sheets of pure
mica from blocks taken only three feet
below the surface.

The call of the exchange was a hoI
number yesterday, and a decidedly
upward tendency was noticeable in al
most all of the stocks, and there was
hardly an instance when the bears
got in their work.
Anchor was little stronger
in the bidding, with no sell
ers in the pit. Ajax was somewhat
wavering at first and it looked as if
the stock might possibly fall off again
but after the first sale gains were
noted and at the close the quotations
were higher than on the previous day.
Bullion Beck was very active in the
bidding. At the opening the stock was
wanted at 81. but the bulls gained the
mastery of the pit and tossed the stock
up 10 $500. Daily scored an advance of
% cents in the bidding, while Daily
West was also quite popular and
moved up point or two in the bid
ding. Geyser and Galena were both
active and chronicled sales at figures
higher than the closing quotations of
the day before. Mercur recorded trans
fers at $40 Mammoth was unchanged
and inactive. still it was strong at the
figures given below
The unlisted stocks suffered no SER
ious losses. and some of them remained
practically unchanged in the bids and
offerings, although fairly active.
South Swansea was in good demand
at S1.65, while the stock was firmly
held at Sis. Little Pittsburg recorded
transfers at cents, while Richmond
and Anaconda failed to make a sale
Buckeye made the most decided ad-
vances, and the stock was a general
favorite and experienced a strong up
ward tendency. Starting at u cents
in the bidding, gains were made until
blocks of this security changed hands
at 10. Northern Light was quiet and
closed with a bid of 80 cents; offered
at 81. Geyser- Marion was called for
the first time and was in demand at
S140, with offerings at $3.50. Swansea
hardly maintained its street bids of the
day before, and made a quotation on
the board of S2.071a bid and s225
asked.
The transactions of the day were as
follows:
SALES OF STOCKS.
200 Ajax at II cents.

RICH WILLOW CREEK STRIKE.
Found Ore That is Lousy With Gold
at the Grass Roots.

Owing to the fact that several Salt
Lakers are interested in the Willow
Creek district, in Idaho, their friends
here have manifested considera BILE in
terest in the promising gold camp, and
this will not be lesSened in any degree
when it is learned that a magnificent
strike has been made there of late
concerning which a correspondent TO
the Boise Statesman SAYS:
The citizens of this place today are
greatly excited over the richest free
gold discovery ever made in the dis
trict. ]. Coster, Charles Lockerman,
William Corners and Jeff Shelton are
the lucky owners of the big find, which
is on the Pearl quartz claim, one of
the oldest locations in the camp, sit
uated above the Richmond Brothers
mill, right in the lower end of the
town of Pearl, which was named after
this claim.
J. S. Kelsay and George Wills have
lease upon the claim and are sinking
a shaft in the ledge in fair ore. j.
Cister, one of the owners, better known
claim unless Kelsay & Wills would
permit him and his son to take out a
grub stake somewhere on the claim.
This they agreed to.
Today Happy Jack and his son got
ready to work out the grub stake and
started to work about $50 feet west of
where Kelsay & Wills are sinking and
in from two TO six inches under the
surface struck ore in which the gold
could be seen in large quantities pasted
all over it.
Some of the ore was PANIED in the
presence of a number of people and
the lowest test made was placed at
$3.50 per pan, some paintings going as
high as from S. to 81.
The strike is considered by all to be
ahead of the Checkmates big strike.
The owners began stripping the ledge
and as many men as could work on
the cut were throwing dirt
When the writer was there about 80
feet in length and from three to five
feet in depth had been uncovered and
a crowd of people was gathered around
the works selecting specimens.
The gold is very coarse, the greater
portion looking like half of a wheat
berry. The intention of Happy Jack
is to mill the ore at tnce. The size of
the pay streak is from two to twelve
inches at the depth so far uncovered.

The Duty on Lead.

Tie statement made in these columns
yesterday that the Republican men,
bers of the ways and means commit
tee had inserted a provision in the new
bill imposing a duty of a cent and q
half on imported lead ores, created
favorable comment in mining circles in
this city and it is believed that this
will have a tendency to strengthen the
metal market in the west, as the i'm
position of this duty on foreign import
ations means an advance in the selling
price of this commodity of at least SIS
ton. With this law in effect there is
hardly a lead mine in the west but
that could resume operations.
