A BLIZZARD IN THE WEST.
Heavy Fall of Snow Reported in Missouri
and Kansas.

A Mondays special from Kansas
City, Mo-, says. A genuine blizzard
prevails in the Southwest and West to-
day. A heavy snow has fallen since 8
o'clock, and driven by strong win d
has prostrated wires in all directions
and caused delay to railway traffic.
The snow followed twenty -four hours
of steady rain.
There has been q decided fall in thu
temperature, and the suddenness OF
the storm, coming as it has upon the
track of Indian summer weather will
undoubtedly cause great suffering,
especially on the ranges covered with
cattle. Kansas City is practically cut
off from the West, as far as telegraph
communication is concerned.

TO SAVE HIS WATCH
Edward Thomas Rushed Into Fire and
Burned to Death.

His love for a plain silver watch
which was an heirloom caused the
1eath of Edward Thomas, watchman
at the furnaces of the Pioneer Manu-.
featuring company, at Thomas, Ala,
Monday. Thomas was employed as
top filler. His duties were in the
top house, $50 feet from the ground.
Gas from the furnace blown over by a
driving southeast wind set the TOP
house on fire. At this time Thomas
was on the safety platform, but rushed
across and entered the house to save
his watch, and was literally roasted to
death.

Senator Martin had a striking
example presented to him last
night of the change that may come
over mems minds in the course of
years.
At the last session of the Gen
eral Assembly Mr.. Martin sue
ceeded in passing through both
houses and getting into the hands
of the Governor a bill to provide
for an industrial school on the
lines of the institution at Ruston
in the senatorial district which
Mr.. Martin has the honor to re-
present. The bill had gone
through with little opposition, but
because funds were not available
to carry the project to completion
the bill did not receive the appro-
val of the Governor. The identi-
cal bill Mr.. Martin introduced at
this session and got q favorable
report on; but he likewise got al
most a unanimous vote against
when it came up for final passage
last night. The Senators generally
took the ground that, while they
we're favorable to the broadening
of the educational facilities of the
State and we're especially interes-
ted in the establishment of indus
trial schools, they did not feel
that the State was now providing
as adequately as it should for the
Ruston school and that as money
in the treasury was not abundant,
it would be unwise to locate q new
industrial school and attempt to
maintain it. The bill is now as
deed as q door-nail.-States.
The above was the fate of Sena.
tor Martin bill, but upon a recon.
sideration of the vote, the bill wai
passed by a two third vote of the
Senate.

New York. Sept. 2.-R. G. Dun & Cos.
weekly review of trade will say to-
morrow:
The smallest failures ever recorded
in any month for i've years We're those
of August No other month since the
monthly reports We're commenced by
Dun's review exclusively has shown de-
faulted liabilities as small within ST.
0eO, 900, and the ratio of such defaults
to solvent business. represented by ex-
changes through all clearing houses,
only S10S.70 in 100000, is smaller by
26.5 per cent than in any previous
month. The clearings having been the
largest ever known in August, and 23.O
per cent larger than in 1892.
The enormous volume of business in
a month usually one of the most mac
tive of the year demands attention.
Postponement during the months OF
war OF some contracts and purchases
which have not come forward explains
part of the increase, and the strong
absorption of securities explains part
but there has also been great decline
in the average of prices of all commod-
tiles. so that it takes much larger
volume OF business in tons or bush
els to make up transactions amounting
1t is, therefore, strictly true that busi-
ness is larger than in the very best of
all past years, and yet there is every
prospect of much further increase.
There is no room to doubt that the
wheat CROP, even though it may fall a
shade below some estimates, will prove
the largest ever harvested, and al
though Beerbohm estimates Europe S
crop at 232. 100000 bushels more than

average yield, while other evidence is
less favorable. Foreign buying has
been strong, Atlantic exports for the
week having been 3,326,S7S bushels,
against 1854, 757 bushels last year, and
Pacific exports 458,8S1 bushels, against
25S. 651 bushels last year. But receipts
at the west are increasing, and the
price has dropped cents for spot,
though the September option is sc
lower for the week.
The Improvement in the iron indus
try has no only continued, but be-
comes II re impressive, because enor-
nous business sales have satisfied the
needs of great consumers for months
to come. The demand for products is
so great that both materials and pro-
ducts gradually advance in price.
Bessemer pig has risen to s1O55 al
Pittsburg, local coke at Chicago and
anthracite foundry at the east are

vance a share, with most structural
and plate mills filed with orders for

rails sold at Chicago for delivery next
year. The advance in tin plates, in
spite of production far greater than
was thought possible not long ago, is
evidence that the consumption of steel
in that branch will be heavy. The wire

Johnson's Regulator.

J. S. Johnson of Alta mining fame
is down with a shipment of good ore
from his Regulator mine, one Of the
old-time producers of this once noted
camp.
Mr.. Johnson informs The Herald
scribe that in the lower workings OF
this property he has made a new strike
and opened up a three-foot body of SOL
id lead carbonate ore which promises
well for the future.
In fact. Mr.. Johnson is so well
pleased with the showing made that he
proposes to make arrangements to
work the mine al Of the coming fall
and winter with the expectation of
marketing from 70 to 100 tons of ore
monthly, and he is confident that the
mine is in line so that it will make a
splendid record for itself in the near
future.
Mr.. Johnson corroborates the state
ments brought down from Alta to the
effect that this old Little Cottonwood
camp is showing signs of returning life
and prosperity, and he states that it
has shown more activity this season
than for years past, all the mines and
prospects of the district responding
nobly for every stroke of work done
and for every dollar spent in their de-
velopment and operation.

Sam Pollock, the chief mogul of the
Hercules mine on Lion hill, and to
whom much credit is due for the splen-
did condition of this property, is in the
city awaiting the arrival Of car OF
ore which is now en- route to the sam
pier from the mine.
This lot of ore, Mr.. Pollock states,
will carry metallic values of about 14O
ounces in silver and from TO Sc in
gold 20 the ton, and he is authority
for the statement that ii is the eX-
pectation that the company viii follow
up this initial consignment with ship
ment of at least carload of high
grade ore a month.
OF course, Mir. Pollock is we'll pleased
over the fact that the property has
reached a shipping basis, but he is
more SO over the excellent condition
of the mine and the fiattering showing
of ore in its workings, especially in the
lower portions of the mine, where
cross-cuts have disclosed a body of
mineral all of IA feet thick between
Well-defined walls, all of which is an
excellent milling proposition by the
cyanide process the values ranging
from 10 to Is ounces in silver and So to
81 in gold, besides which, in this i'm
mense body of mineral, there is a
ore.
At the present time Mr.. Pollock has
six men at work in the development
of the Hercules, who are sinking a re-
verse incline from the 40-foot drift
from the bottom of the first incline, the
incline following the fOotwall on its
dip, which is about 40 degrees to the
northeast, the full bottom of the work
ings being in z, large body of mineral
that is free from all base and deleter-
ious substances, the vein being ex-
ceptionally strong, the indications be-
ing that it will go to the deep, Mr..
Pollock being of the opinion that this

The drift in the Hercules can hardly
be more than 90 feet from the work.
ings in the Chloride Point, and every
shot in the latter can be heard in the
former, showing the continuity of the
mineral belt, but the Hercules is now
working away from the c. P. and is
acquiring depth on the vein, which is
frozen to the great porphyry dyke that
cuts through the region in a northerly
and southerly direction, and this, it is
believed. insures permanency to the de-
post; and if this theory is correct the
Hercules is likely = } prove one of the
biggest mines or Lion hill
Mr.. Pollock states that the Chloride
Doint mine is in magnificent condition,
with large areas of ore blocked out in
its workings, and the mill is running
in most satisfactory manner and at
an excellent saving, While good ore is
being hoisted from the Columbia right
along and excellent progress is being
made in the development of this prom
Using property.
As 10 the Northern Light, the new
workings Of which are almost within
stones throw of the Hercules dump, it
is the impression on the hill among
mining men that something good has
been opened up there by Superin-
tendent Legg.

In speaking of the Klondike, MI
White stated that with the exception
Of the country around Dawson City
that region is poor proposition, and
that while wonderfully rich diggin gs
have been found on the KlOndike and
its tributaries that even in this lc-
cality no new discoveries of importance
have been made for a year, in conse-
Quence of which there is no openings
for new men, while labor has depre-
ciated 80 per cent during the past year
and 100 men are now looking for work
where there is only an opening for one:
and as for living, Mr.. White states
that a good meal can now be had in
Dawson City for IS cents as against a
charge of SO during the past winter,
this condition of affairs being caused
by the fact that thousands are leaving
the country disguised and are selling
out their outfits and supplies at song,
in consequence of which the market is
glutted.
AS to the output of Klondike for the
past year, Mr.. White places it at &c.
Coz. 900 for the Northwest country and
Alaska, and this, in his estimation, is
a high figure.
Mr.. White left last night for the east
and will land eventually in Cuba,
where he will see for himself what
there is in that country.

group on Silverado hill, was in Mercur
this week for supplies. Mr.. Smith states
that he has enough funds on hand to

which lies west of the Columbia, and
four men are at work sinking on the
ledge The Old Tiger ledge has been
traced through the claims and the
work so far shows up the property in
a most satisfactory manner. Assays
taken from the workings have been
very encouraging. Work will be con-
tinued for several months, by which
time it is hoped a vein of shipping ore
will be developed.
