Some New Discoveries That VIII Be
Heard From Later.

In an interview with Mining Ensin-

tion in relation to that part of the Pho

Mineral hill and Box canyon.

In this district there is one vein

from northwest to southeast and trace

miles. This lode carries copper in sui

concentrated twenty to thirty into one.

centrates, but if it holds its values it
can be readily seen that the property
can be made to pay from the start.
We also have group of five claims
carrying carbonates of lead and galena.
These veins are from six to twenty feet
wide and gave by fire assay from 10
per cent to 60 per cent lead with a

once on this claim and the AIinta Nor
gan will undoubtedly prove a pay mine
from the start.
Throughout this section there is
also considerable gold bearing quartz
which. however, is not free milling, but
amena5le TO cyanide treatment.
There was a great rush to this dis
trict and considerable development was
done during the halcyon days of the
Silver King. fifteen or twenty years
ago. On the decline of silver work was
discontinued, and indeed many of the
properties We're abandoned.
In these days little attention was
paid to gold quartz in Pioneer district,
unless it was property free milling. I'm
fortunately the gold bearing rock Will
not plate 20 per cent of its value. You
see fifteen years ago very little was
known about the cyanide treatment;
in fact, it has only been in the last four
or five years that it has been Success
fully operated. Now ores of the char
acter that I've found in abundance Will
readily yield from 80 per cent to 80 per
cent Of their values by this treatment
and the extraction should not cost to
exceed % per ton.

destined in the near future to be

RULLS SCRAPED AND PAINTED.
Captains of Shamrock Take
a Look at the
Columbia.

New York, Sept 29.-This has been
very busy day for the crews of both
the American cup defender and the
Irish challenger Shamrock From
early morning the larger portion of the
men on the Columbia were busy scrap
ing and polishing her metal under
body with sandpaper, emery and oil.
Electric burnishers were discarded af-
ter several trials, for the men found
they could do the work faster and bet
ter by hand than by running the edge
of a small emery wheel over the plates.
The Shamrock's under body is prac-
tically finished so far as polishing is
concerned. The work of polishing up
the Columbias hull will take at least
another day, as at 5 o'clock this after
noon, when the men quit work, there
was still considerable surface about the
bilges that had not been touched
The new bobstay of the Columbia ar
rived from the Herreshoffs' works last
night. and today Rigger Billman and
his men went to work putting it in
place. The new piece of wire rope is
about one and one-quarter inches in
diameter, slightly larger than the one
which broke last week, and as it had
been given a 200-ton test before it was
sent here from Bristol it should carry
the boat through the races.
The port side of the Columbia was
given coat of fresh white paint, and
the starboard side will be repainted to-
morrow. The topsides of the Shamrock
were painted a delicate shade of green,
also, today so that both craft will go
into the races as they were originally
painted, notwithstanding the theory
that there was a loss of speed by so
doing!
Among the spectators to see Column
bia today were Capts. Hogarth and
Wringe and Sailmaker Ratsey of the
Shamrock They were piloted to the
navy yard by Painter Mitchell who
had been experimenting the painting
of the Shamrock, and Mate Allen of the
American boat met them outside the
| yard. At the drydock the party found

men did not care to express any opin-

| There was some talk about the Erie

noon, and as the craft is about ready to

FURRY IN COTTON.
False Figures Cause New
Orleans Exchange
to Close.

New Orleans, Sept. 29.-Intense ex-
CT ement revealed on the cotton ex-
change here, and the directors of the
exchange met and suspended business.
The New York market was closed to-
day, and the only quotations this morn
ing to guide the local investors were
from Liverpool The market had
scarcely opened when the operators be-
came paralyzed by the advices that
clicked over the wires.
They showed futures advancing in
leaps and bounds In half an hour the
reports showed that the Liverpool mar
ket had jumped nearly a cent The
whole exchange went wild the excite
ment spreading to the crowd about the
doors of the building. At 10 O'Clock a
meeting of the directors was called, and
prompt action was taken, suspending
all business.
Operators are unable to explain the
tremendous jump, and the common be-
lief on the floor is that the wires have
been tapped and that a gigantic swim
ding game is afoot somewhere. Pri-
vate cables are going to Liverpool by
dozens seeking information.
This statement was given out at the
cotton exchange late this afternoon;
I'm consequence of false cablegrams
from Liverpool, giving enormous adj
vances in that market, large transac-
tons were made in the New Orleans
futures today with points above the
country at heavy improvement in price
Discovery of the falsity Of the cable
grams created inextricable confusion,
necessitating a suspension of business
temporarily in order to enable brokers
and commission merchants to straight
en- things around with the corresponds
ents.
"All the Liverpool dispatches quoted
came through the regular channel, the
Commercial News bureau, which has
been the news conductor for the vari-
GUS southern exchanges for more than
a quarter of century past. The ex-
PLANTATION of the company is that the
changes reported were to be construed
as against the closing price OF yester-
day, but as the invariable custom here |
tofore has been to give all changes in
the Liverpool market compared with |
the dispatch Immediately preceding the |
Is not only unsatisfactory. |
but is also improbable.
"In view Of the uncertainties caused
thereby, it was deemed by the board Of |
directors as proper and just to declare |
a suspension of the future business In |
order to permit brokers to remain in |
their offices and attend without delay |
to adjusting matters with their corre- |
spondents. This is the sole reason for |
the temporary suspension, which does
not ir the least involve the ability or
capability OF the members of this ex-
change to care with ease and prompt-
ness for any and all business intrusted
to them.

fortunately, this happy state of salts
faction was not maintained to the end,
and the reasons for the change are not
far to seek. The soloists were not all
well suited to their parts, and the per-
formance as whole lacked color.
To Mr.. Williams Faust, Miss voigt
sang Marguerite and Mr.. Ffrangcon-
Davies Mephistopheles, while Mr..
Miles sang Brander's song, but with
out special distinction. The one part
on which the color and character of
the presentation depend is Mephistoph-
eles, and if that be lacking in suggest
iveness the entire work is pretty cer-
tain to go stale. 1t cannot be said that
Mr.. Ffrangcon- Davies is well fitted for
this part, either in the quality and vol
ume Of voice or his temperament and
style. Sometimes he made the sarcasm
and cynicism of the lines evident, and
now and then there was burst of tone,
limiting, that during the week he had
been saving himself for this final eff
fort, but his robustness was not well
maintained, and in other ways he fell
far short of the diabolism re-
quired of Mephistopheles. Facial
expression and bodily action
seemed his best reliance to Sug-
gest such effects. His Song of the
Aea' lacked derision and abandon, and
one had TO wait for the serenade before
getting a fairly Characteristic sample
of his vocalism.
Miss Voigt's part lay generally with
in the, most agreeable register of her
voice, and there was little need to COM
plain of her tones. She sang with in
telligence, but tremendously and
without much force. The king OF
Thule" proved dry and Ineffective, de-
spite the applause and flowers that fol-
lowed Miss Voigt sang the romance
quite prettily, and in the duet with Mr..

effective vocal features, she had mo-

COUNTS ONLY ON MIGHT.
German Press Fiercely Denounces
England's Attitude in TransvaaI.

Berlin, Sept. 29.-The AngIophobe ten
dency Of the German press is in no way
abated by the knowledge that the Ger
man government not only does not
share, but seeks, though in vain, to
repress it.
The Neuste Nachrichten says: 1T
would be more correct to speak out
frankly regarding the South African
crisis; for the question at issue ceased
long ago to be confined to the Trans
vaal. The responsibility of the British
government will, therefore, be all the
greater if it should stir up war by in
sisting that the TransvaaI accept its
note, because it cuts off every possible
road to a peaceful issue, lnasmuch as
the return of the Transvaal to the con-
vention Of 1881 would be the signal for
an international revolution"
