DRY GOODS.

New York, May 23.-The opening Of
the weeks trading in dry goods is on
decided conservative lines There is no
expansion in store trading and mail
orders are poor. Print cloths are still
very firm. Extras are nominaliy quoted
at / 15-16c, but sellers refuse bids at
this price steadily. Odd goods are firm
and in fairly active demand.

Stocks-The level of prices of stocks
was lifted another notch as result OF
to-day's trading. The dealings were
not large and there was no general ac-
tivity in the market That IS to say
the speculative favorites was not very
large and number of important stocks
were inactive. At the same time 1t was
noticeable that number Of usually in
active shares were moved and this gave
the market the appearance OF a broad
ening tendency which closer analysis
did not altogether confirm. There was
large number of individual transac-
tons of the small dividend-paying
stocks, indicating a demand for invest
ment sources. Buying of this charac-
ter is usually designed for permanent
or long time holding and always ac-
companies plentiful supply OF money.
There was no evidence, however, of any
widespread general interest in stocks

the richest in this country. Some line
specimens have been brought to us to cut,
and others are constantly being brought
i'm by prospectors and mine owners to test.
Many stories have been circulated about
diamond fields and mines in California,
and adventures have gone there expecting
to pick them up as they did gold 40 years
ago. Their Disappointment spread coun-
ter reports. and most people concluded
that diamonds in California were hcti-
tious. The fact is that mining for dia-
monds must be conducted on scientific
principles and with plenty of capital we
do not expect TO find diamonds lying
around loose waiting TO be picked up.
Even in the richest diamond fields OF
South Africa they have to work hard for
the precious stones. More recently dia-
monds have been found in Wisconsin
Around Lake Superior also the finest
specimens of chlorastrolite, thomsonite
and agates have been picked up on the
beaches Evidently the action OF the wa
ter has worn them from the rocks.
Colorado is another well defined re-
gion for precious stone hunting. Many
thousands of dollars worth of cut berry
have been taken from the mines OF that
state This valuable gem appears to Dc
quite general in several parts of the coun
try. Philadelphia Times.

bait and the trigger. He also says: . may

though have never had an opportunity
of seeing 1t, that wolves watch the fisher
men who set lines in deep water for trout,
through holes in the icc in Lake Superior,
and very soon after tho man has left the
wolf goes up to the place, takes hold OF
the stick which is placed across the hole
and attached to the line, trots of with 1t
along the ice until the bait Is brought to
the surface, then returns and eats the bait
and the fish IL any happens to be on the
hook. The trout of Lake Superior are

INDIAN FIGHTING COURAGE.
Terrors In White Settlements Who Run
Away From Hostile Redskins.

1T takes special kind of courage TO
fight Indians, said Major Edward Rags
dale. They're pretty sure to surprise you,
and they're slippery as quicksilver and as
hard to catch Their yelling and whoop-
inp alone are enough to stampede men not
trained to their style of fighting. Some
times they fight under cover, and you catch
fire from an enemy you can't get slght
of, and, again, where there hash { been one
to be seen, they seem all to spring out or
the ground at once and charge you as
though nothing could stand their onset.
Then there's the knowledge that IL they
catch you alive you'll be skinned alive or
burned or your life tortured out of you by
slow degrees in thousand other ways they
can think up to make you suffer. There's
many a stout hearted desperate. terror
in white settlements and not afraid TO
have a pistol or shotgun scrap any hour OF
the day or night with man of his own
color, who doesn't count for row of pins
in an Indian fight.
Take Sam Brown of Nevada for a case
I'm point He wasn't afraid of any man
that wore boots, and he was the terror Oh
