Nevertheless, there is ohasm between

European Wheat Market,

New York, Aug. PA dispatch to
the Herald from London says:
The wheat market throughout the last
week has presented a general tone OF
dizziness.
The attendance of buyers has been
limited, and the demand has been with
out revival.
Operators in the face of favorable
crop reports are restricting require
ments as much as possible.
From most parts of England reports
state that the wheat crops are being
gathered in fine condition. 1t is con-
sidered the best crop for years past.
The following foreign reports are
given in the Mark Lane Express:
France-The Echo Agricole states
that several estimates of the crop have
already been given, varying from no.
0O0. COO to 100, 000, 900 hectols-SS. 10000 to
A, 200 coo quarters-but does not believe
any accurate computation can as yet
be arrived at, as the farmers them
selves are often uncertain OF the yield
of the crop before threshing. In any
event the crop, although not so large as
last years, will nevertheless exceed the
average.
Germany-Under more settled wealth.
er harvest work has made very consid-
cradle progress, and the crop is salts
factory on the whole.
Russia-As is usual, it is impossible
to arrive at even the approximate
truth regarding the harvest in this vast
country. Generally speaking, the yield
in several governments other than Bes-
sarabia and some other southern
districts is fairly satisfactory, but low
prices offer no inducement to forward
grain to the seaboard. Shippers con-
tinue to act with extreme caution and
will not buy from the producer until
western markets have settled down to
autumn business.

Ore Recently Encountered Assays
$50 in Gold.
THE STAR MAKING A RECORD
Doubled Expenses During July-In.
creased Capacity Figured on
Bunker Hill Proving Up.

Some very fine gold ore has been en-
countered in the Ophr claims at Bing-
ham. More than three feet of vein mat
ter is now presented, which assays as
much as $50 per ton. The ore extends
to the surface, and for some time two
shifts of men have been employed in
sinking down on the vein. The incline
shaft is now down about $50 feet, at
which depth a widening vein of high
grade sand carbonate gold ore has been
encountered. 1t contains no silver or
lead or anything that prevents it be-
ing splendid cyaniding proposition.
The difficulty in this respect is found
in the scarcity of water. This will
make it necessary for Mr.. Awkward,
who is working the claims on four
year lease, to ship it to the smelter.
Owing to the silica in the ore it is
thought the cost of smelling will not be
less than So a ton.

property, which consists of the Mighty
