Bond On the Buckeye.

1t was learned yesterday that ]. w.
Green, who has a lease on the Buck
eye, near Diamond, in Tintic district,
had associated with him several men
of means in the enterprise, and that
he had not only secured an extension
of the lease, but also q bond on the
property, the option calling for the
payment of $4,000.
It is the intention, it is understood,
to clear the property of water, and to
do some extensive work in its contin-
ued development, and as there is a
very good showing in the mine, it is
believed that it will not be long be-
fore it will be able to make favorable
record as a producer of a good grade of
mineral.
A small shipment Of high grade ore
was made from the Buckeye last week,
and it is more than likely that from
this time on it will be on the market
with occasional, if not regular, ship
ments, as there are portions of the
mine which can now be worked to adj
vantage.

A. Murphy, the well known Mercur
mining operator and business man, is
in from Rocky district, where he has
been for the past two months engaged
in the development of a promising cop
per property in the immediate vicinity
of and adjoining the Montreal mine,
which is the making of one of the
greatest producers of this metal to be
found in this intermountain region. Mr.
Murphy, it is understood, has found a
good thing" in this copper property,
and is taking out high grade ore for
shipment, besides which he is employ
ing a good force in its extensive devel-
opment.
It is not generally known, but it is
the fact all the same, that II. A. Co
hen Captain De Lamar's right-hand
man, is the owner of a half interest in
this copper property, which is known
as the Maggie Williams.
Mr.. Cohen took this interest as a
flyer" several months ago, and now
he is highly elated over the prospect,
as Mr.. Murphy had hardly begun work
in the development OF the property be-
fore he uncovered a fine body of min
eral, and in going down on it for
depth of only Is or IS feet took out
over 100 sacks of first-class copper ore,
while the indications for permanency
and continuity are all that could be
desired.
Mr.. Cohen has been extremely sue
cessfUl in his "side issue" enterprises,
and as he made this venture apart
from his dealings with Captain De La
mar, and only paid a song for his in
terest, he has reason to feel good over
his good fortune, as the Maggie Will
liams is without doubt the making of
bonanza

PACIFIC ROAD SETTLEMENT
MAGUIRE OPPOSES THE MORGAN
PROPOSITION.
Asserts It Is a Scheme to Prevent the
Government From Dealing With
Men Who Want to Buy the Road.

Washington, July Sat the opening
of the house Chaplain Couden made
feeling reference to the events at San
tiago.
Mr.. Payne Rep.. N. " presided in
the absence of Speaker Reed, who was
detained in New York.
The senate amendments to the bill
for the pay of the army from enrolment
to the mustering-in were concurred in
and the bill now goes to the president.
The partial conference report on the
general deficiency bill, leaving only the
Pacific railroad funding amendment
open, was adopted. The minority
fought for an extended debate on the
excepted amendment. MIR. Mcguire
Dem, CALI asked for three days, but
agreement was reached for vote at
o'clock tomorrow afternoon
After passing a bill to print $4,000 adj
ditional copies of the bankruptcy law,
Mr.. Cannon, chairman of the approprl-
alton committee, opened the debate on
Pacific railroads. Mr.. Cannon spoke OF
the wisdom of the senate amendment,
and said it was the duty now of con-
gress TO secure the collection Of the
great amount of Indebtedness due the
treasury of the country. He denied that
these roads had not paid anything for
80 years. He was not ready to say
whether or not there should have been
better legislation to develop that great
country west of the Missouri river than
was had.
But" he added, I'VE find here today
this great indebtedness of S59,000,0OO to
the government, with $25,0O0,0 900 ahead
of it as a first lien on the property,
covering a railroad without terminals.
The agreement contemplated in the
amendment, he pointed out, would be
made under the white light of public
criticism, and there should, therefore,
be no apprehensionS as to the results.
Mr.. Mcguire followed in opposition.
He said he favored the existing law
against these companies, and believed
there was no reason for legislation to
complicate the relations existing be-
tween the government and these Pa
cific railroads. He asserted it was pro-
posed to prevent the government from
dealing with the men who want 10
operate it, to prevent the government
from opening the matter of purchase TO
all bidders and confine the government
through the proposed commission to
dickering and negotiations with men
who want to buy it to prevent compe-
tit;on.
Mr.. Mcguire concluded by reading
numerous kilograms from California,
protesting against any extension or de-
lay of the payments.
Mr.. Barham (Rep., CALI had read an
amendment he will offer tomorrow,
providing that unless the settlement
authorized is perfected within one year
after the passage of the act, the presi-
dent shall at once proceed to foreclose
all liens and securities now held by the
government against the companies, ana
to collect that indebtedness.
Mr.. Powers (Rep., VT, chairman OF
the house committee on Pacific rail
roads. spoke of the results of the con-
struction of the lines, and paid a tr1b-
ute to their promoters.
The house, at 4:57 p. M, adjourned
until tomorrow.

Interest here now centers more especi-

to the bait which is offered them by the

New York, July 5.-Wall street today
offered one of its most confusing markets
to the outside observer or inexperienced
speculator. Yet the opening burst OF
animation and strength the subsequent
reaction and the final conflicting tendency
OF Individual stocks all had their rational
motives. AT first view there was every
reason 10 expect strong and well ;SuS-
tanned market throughout the day, on
account Of the glorious achievement of
the United States navy and the immi-
hence of capituiation by the Spanish
forces in Santiago. There was rush to
buy at the opening and bears who had
the temeritY to remain short of stocks
over the triple holiday scrambled to
cover. London also bought quite eagerly
Stocks which had recently been under
bear pressure. notably Peoples Gas and
Sugar and the Internationals, showed the
sharpest advances. But the fact was
equally obvious that quite a number of
stocks which have been pushed up in
face OF the recent lethargy were suffer-
ing from profit-taking.
After the urgent demand from the
shorts had been satisfied the Drofit-tak-
ing sales dominated largely, reducing
all the earlier advances. and in many
Fridays close. The chief sufferers were
Brooklyn Transit. Rock Island and Bur-
lington. Sugar also developed marked
weakness before the close. 1t is a meas
ure of the great confidence which has
been felt in Admiral Sampson and his
feet that the actual demolition of the
Spanish squadron should have been met
with selling of stocks as an event that
had been thoroughly discounted. 1t is
quite possible that the later weakness
represented IN some degree a dampening
of enthusiasm caused by reports that the
projected commandment and of the reduc-
uion of Santiago were to be postponed.
There was a significance in the fact that
the opening of the new fiscal year and
the usual large release of funds were not
reflected in any marked degree for specu-
lation or investment in the stock market.
This indicative of the continued doubt
as to the exact effect on the money mar
ket which will result from the taking up
of the government loan on July 4.

Chicago. July 5.-Wheat started weak
and remained in that condition until the
end of the session. Improved crop reports
and fine weather where harvesting is in
progress brought out large line by pep
pie who bought in short last week and
were anxious to get out again. The-weak-
ness of continental European cables had
some effect. The pressure here came
mainly from local professionals and st.

bottom prices near the close on the
steady advance at Liverpool, which
showed an advance of 1%@4d over the
previous close. Statistics were bullish.
