It is learned that an important strike
has been made in the Tidal Stream
mir in Erickson district, Tooele coun-
ty, the property of the Tioal Stream
Mining company.
This property was formerly owned
by the New Guinea Mining company,
hut a few months ago was sold at
sheriff'S sale, members of the
buying it in and Incorporating under
the title Of the Tidal Stream, since
which time nothing has been done IN
the operation of the mine until late
this fall, when men were sent out TO
do the assessment work as required py
law. .,
In the development of this ground
in the past an incline shaft was sunk
to a depth Of l35 feet without meeting
with much encouragement, but when
operations were. resumed last fail the
men began work at a point about sixty
feet back from the face of the work
ings, and an excavation of a few feet
disclosed q vein almost parallelng the
incline. This ore body is about three
feet in width, and is a solid mass OF
shipping ore, some of the mineral GO
ing as high as 200 ounces in silver, from
6 to s per cent copper and a few dol
lars in gold TO the ton; and The Her
aid informant states lnaL d ufIll mas
been run on this ledge for a distance
Of tmrty-fiye or forty feet, and that
as it is followed into the hill there is 4
gradual increase in the size of this fine
body OF pay mineral.
Already a carload of this character
of ore has been placed on the dump,
which viii ind it's way TO the Salt Lake
market early in 1899, and it is the in
tention of the company, Owe which
DR.. Beattie presides as president, to
send the men back after the first OF
the year with instructions to push de-
velopment as rapidly as possible, the
expectation being thai in the spring
the Tidal Stream can be placed on the
list as a regular and heavy shipper of
the precious metals.

DESPERATE M~ISS0URIAN.
Killed Two Men, Fatally Wounded
Two and Cut His Own Throat.

st. Louis, Dec. 3O.-A special to the
Post-Dispatch from West Plains, Mo,
saws:
1t was definitely learned today that
two men were killed and two others
probably fatally wounded at Ambrose,
in Ozark county yesterday in the fight
with William Barton.
H. C. Cobb and his son Andrew went
to Barton's house to arrest him, and
get the reward offered for his appre-
hension on the charge of killing a man
in North Missouri. Barton began hos
tilities at once, killing young Cobb and
fatally wounding his father.
The news reached Gainesville, where
a posse was organized under Sheriff
Luna and started for the scene of the
killing. Barton's house was surrounded
by the posse. Henry Winger. who APP
preached a window, was shot and
killed by Barton, who then cut his
own throat and surrendered.
1t is supposed Barton was taken to
Gainesville, but this is not known. He
may have died from his wound. or he
may have been lynched by this time,
as reports from Ozark county say in
tense excitement prevails there over
the affair.

THE CLOSE OF THE YEAR.
Stocks Advanced Materially, While
Silver and Lead Make Gains.

ON the last day of the year, as far
as the mining share market is con-
cerned, it is pleasing to look back and
note the fact hat there has not been
a single mining security on the board
of the stock exchange but which has
been able to chronicle decided and in
many instances marked advances and
gains during The past twelve months.
AS a matter of fact, there is not a
stock on the board but what has ad-
Vanced from 10 to 50 per cent during
this period, and there is not a dealer or
an investor Il has made money and
is better off today than on the first
day of 1898. as far as his mining share
speculations are concerned.
Take Four Aces, for instance. A year
ago it was a drug on the market at ,
and ) cents a share, while today it is
n favorite at 81 or SO. Grand Central
was then a ready seller at so cents, and
now ii is in demand at IS. Swansea
has advanced to $3.50 and $3.50. Mer-
eur is stronger; Northern Light has
ADVANCED; Ajax has chronicled gains,
and Observation-Disclosures has been a IA
vorite at near the $40 mark. Alliance,
also, has made phenomenal gains; On
taTio has moved steadily upward.
Chloride Point has surprised even it's
waTmest friends, while Dexter has
SCARED way above the So quotation.
A few securities which have chron-
lcled gains during the year have also
suffered declines. but with these. dur
ing the last twelve months, there have
been times when holders could have
sold at a handsome profit, and their de-
preston nov is only temporary.
Another important feature of the
mining share market for the year has
been h appearance OF a number of
~eilt-edged securities. the handling and
manipulation of which has resulted in
good money to investors and specu-
lators, and during the coming year he
list Of safe and paying shares offered
the stoek-buying public promises to be
more than doubled.
Gains have also been recorded in sill
Yer and lead quotations. lead being 20
cents and silver > cents higher than on
the first day of the present year.

Stocks ON the Curb.

While business On the curb so far this
week has not been as good as formerly,
owing to the fact IF this being Christ
mas week." still an improvement in the
tone of the market is noticeable, and
soon after the first of the year it is ex-
pected stock transactions will drift
back into the old channel, and that
there will be an active demand for in
vestment and speculative securities.
On the street yesterday afternoon
Homestake vas a seller at Z and IA
cents, Northern Light touched so cents
again in the bidding, Golden Eagle be
ing a favorite at 9h cents. Sunbeam
was firm at 10 cents in the bidding,
while Joe Bowers Extension did quite
a heavy business at 1913 cents. Joe
Bowers was a seller at 81, Success
touched Az cents in the bidding and
was a. dealer at this figure, while Dali
ton posted transfers at "a cents.

BLOOD WAS RELEASED.
Aurora Man Suspected of Arson AL
lowed to Go.
Especial CORRESPONDENCE. J

Richfeld. Dec. 9O.-The preliminary
hearing in the case of the state VS.. Willis
Blood was held before w E. Mason, JUS
tice of the peace of Aurora precinct, yes
terday. and. on motion of County Attor-
ney Mcdaniel, the defendant was dis
charged.
Blood was held on a charge of arson,
but the evidence against him was too
frail to go into court with. The affair
grew out of an assault and battery by
Blood upon the person of BENJAMIN Aims
worth on Sent. %, for which Blood was
convicted and fined. That night a house
and hay n straw-stacks belonging to
Ainsworth's mother On Loss creek were
destroyed by fire, undoubtedly of incen-
diary origin; circumstances were believed
to point to Blood as the guilty me.
Since then the county authorities have
been trying to secure evidence to prop
erly place the guilt, but, failing in this,
Blood was released. There was a great
deal of feeling at Aurora at the time, as
Ainsworth,- who is a cripple. was terribly
beaten and could guilt have positively
fastened upon Blood as having fired Mrs.
Ainsworth's property. it is quite probable
there would have been summary Justice
dealt out.

IS BROMO-SELTzER POISON?
POSSIBLE SOLUTION OF NEW
YORK MYSTERY.
Poison That Killed Mrs. Adams May
Have Developed From Bromo-selt-
yer In Process of Decomposition.

New York, Dec. SO.-There is hope
that borders on expectation that the
silver-plated trinket received by Harry
Cornish through the mails may prove
a conclusive clue to the person respon-
Sible for the death of Mrs. Kate /.
Adams and the prostrating of Cornish.
1t was not a bottle-holder, as has been
represented to be, but a toothpick hold
er or ash receiver. A private mark is
stamped in the silver of this little
article. 1t is No. S14 toothpick holder
or match stand" 1t was made in
Newark, N. J., by Frank A. Leb-
kueckner 81 Co, manufacturing silver
smiths.
There are not fifty match safes of
that design in the country" Mr.. Leb-
kueckner said. But few have been put
forth up to the present time. OF these
fifty, the one involved went to New
York or to our eastern agents at Hart
ford. Conn.,, and if you follow it to the
retail store and that store is conducted
as it ought to be, you can find the name
of h person who bought it.
There is no size of bromo settler
bottle made that fits that article we
made" said Mr.. Lebkueckner. L tried
it myself today. All are either too large
or too small. A bottle in a bottle
OAA01 IL y 4CCAlE~ ~ OhOANAC
settler bottle must have ratified around
in No. 814, and showed plainly that it
did not belong there"
Captain McCluskey, of the detective
| bureau said TODAY that he had aScer-
tanned the store at which the toothpick
holder was bought, u he refused to
say what establishment it is, further
than it is in New York. Captain Nc
CIuskey regards the clue as the most
] inn mort nt ono that has hpPn dPVPl0nR6
thus far.
Mr.. Mcintyre mas received a letter to
which he attaches a certain amount OF
Importance. 1t suggests thai the
poison that killed Mrs. Adams must
have developed from bromo-seltzer in
the process of decomposition.
This letter may shed light on this
mysterious affair."" said he. 1T may
prove that Mrs. Adams death was an
unfortunate accident and that there is
no crime back of it,"
The letter in question was sent to
Mr.. Mcintyre by S. j. Russell. a drug
gist of Jersey City. While reading the
account of the Adams poisoning case
in the newspapers, Mr.. RusselPs at
tention was arrested by the statement
that the bottle containing the sup
posed bromo-seltzer bore a label OF a
drug company in Baltimore, Md. This
recalled to his mind an invoice of
~bromo-seItzer which he had received
from that company, but which he had
sent back IS unfit for sale. He then
received the company a letter,
saying the company had tried granu-
lating bromo-seltzer, but found that it
did not keep well in that form and de-
cided to abandon it.
abandon it.
The question raised by this letter is
whether the decomposition of the
graduated bromo-seltzer that was
manufactured by the Baltimore COM
pany is likely to produce a poisonous
| substance and, if so, whether that sub
stance is the same poison which killed
Mrs. Adams.
