BLACK NUGGETS ARE VALUABLE.
Now Almost Worth Their Weight In
Gold In West Indies.

New York. April 23.-Advices from
Porto Rico are meagre, but alarming,
and indicate that food outbreak may
be looked for any day. says the ST
Thomas correspondent of the World.
The laborers in the interior have no
work and consequently no money to
pay the high prices demanded for pro-
visions.
State department Commissioner
Shand has arrived on the steamer
Fontabelle with special instructions to
United States consuls in the West
Indies to purchase coal and to for
ward reports of the movements OF the
enemy.
Spaniards at Porto Rico are making
active efforts to purchase the existing
coal supply on the other islands. Sew
eral thousand tons are on the way
here consigned to Bronsted & Moron,
who have received different cables
from the Porto Rican agents of the
Spanish government making offers for
the supplies.
Other local firms have received
similar messages. The same request
has been made to merchants in the
Windward islands. whose supply is in
adequate to cover contracts. The

THE GEYsER MILL.
The Additions to the New Plant Are
Nearly Completed.

Mercur, April 2S.-The work of in
creasing the capacity of the Geyser
mill is almost completed. Two of the
six new tanks are now full of ore, one
more is completed, and the other three
are in an advanced stage of construc-
ton. The mill is now treating over 100
tons per day. y great deal of develop
ment work is being done, and cOnnec-
lions from the mill tunnel are being
pushed as rapidly as circumstances Will
permit.
The thunderstorm on Wednesday
night damaged the power line TO such
an extent that nothing could be done
at the mill until last night. Every
thing is now working again all right.
Work on the Mollie Gibson is pro-
crossing favorably, and it is thought
the vein has been reached, although
values have not yet been found as high
as anticipated.
The Camp Floyd Gold Mining COM
pany expects to put a force of men at
work on their property before many

YOUNG AMERICA EAST.
Development Work Resumed With
Three Shifts.

Commenting on the Young America
East mine, which is largely owned by
Salt Lake people, the Times Review, of
Tuscarora, New, says:
Sinking was resumed in the Young
America East shaft last Tuesday
morning and three S-hOur shifts are
employed. The company has been
pumping steadily for the past three
weeks and while the water in the shaft
was soon pumped out, it was thought
best to get the surrounding country
thoroughly drained before resuming
the work of sinking. The water is now
Stacking off perceDtibiy and with the

Yesterday was hot number in the
pit of the mining exchange, the total
transfers of stock amounting to more
than has been recorded for any one
call since the organization of the pres
ent board, stocks being largely on the
upgrade, while the market was active
and firm, several marked advances be-
ing noted.
In the listed stocks nothing was done
Until Geyser- Marion was reached, when
LOCO shares of this security changed
hands at S10i. Mammoth was a trifie
1rmer in the holdings, and Mercur-
well, this gilt-edged diVidend-payer was
stronger in the bidding, and registered
the transfer of over 500 shares at IS.
Northern Light also created a sensa-
ton on the floor, and but for fierce
bear attack. precipitated Immediately
upon the opening call Of this stock, 1t
IS more than likely that il would have
sold at so cents, without any trouble.
As it was, it touched 40 cents, and was
i'll good form at the close. Sacramento
was inactive in the way of sales, but
chrOnicled still further gains in the bid
ding, being in excellent demand at the
close at 555a cents, with offerings at
59c.
In the unlisted stocks a raid was
made on Chloride Point, and this stock
Y. as forced down to 80 cents. at which
figure quite a block changed hands.
For future delivery, however, at the
option of the buyer, the shares sold at
higher prices, and before the close the
stock had recovered TO a certain eX-
tent, ina ginary losses. The big deal of
the day in the unlisted securities was
the sale of 10000 shares of Richmond &
Anaconda, all of which passed into the
hands of one broker, who had an order
TO NIL. Homestake also figured in the
dealings of the day, being transferred
at cents.
The call was an exciting one through
out, the members being well represent
ed on the floor, while the lobby was
filed almost TO suffocation by dealers
and lookers-on.
The transactions of the day were as
follows:

The general land Office, in it's vari-
Gus branches, has been moved to the

He condemned severely the policy
pursued by the queen regent, saying:
''She has sacrificed the national

the annexation Of Mexican territory by

were gradually superseded by priests
of other nationality, ckiefly by French
