Natchez. Richard Green, negro

yard Saturday, the drop falling at

crime was that of wife murder,
which was committed on the con-
vict farm of Adams county early
last year. He was a convict and
good hand, SO the lessee employed
his wife to cook for the prisoners,
in order to reconcile him. Green
became desperately jealous of her,
laid in wait for her with an Ak and
nearly chopped her head from her
body. He was tried in the lower
court and convicted on his own evil
dence, and the supreme court after
ward affirmed the decision Of tho
lower court and fixed the date for
his execution. Strenuous efforts
were made for Communication OF his
sentence, but without avail. Only
a few persons witnessed the hang
ing. This is the first judicial execu-
tion..in Adams county since 1886.
There were immense crowds of ne
groes about the Jail, while the trees
and housetops in the vicinity were
thronged with people eager to get a
glimpse of the execution.

Mississippps Poet to be Remembered.

Jackson. In endorsing the propo-
sition made by Prof. Weber to erect
a monument in memory OF Irwin
Russell, the Clarion-Ledger says;
comparatively few of our people
are acquainted with his name or
have read the inimitable and i'm
mortal Christmas Night in the
Quarters Born in Port Gibson
in 1853, Irwin Russell died after a
brief illness in New Orleans, in
1879, his remains being afterward
moved to st. Louis, where they lie
by his fathers side. Mississippi
has, therefore, left of her poet moth
ing save the remembrance on the
part of an increasingly small num-
ber of an attractive personality, and
the large reputation throughout the
United States which has come to
his poems. His sole bid to posteiity
for fame is slim volume OF verses
posthumously published by the Cen
tury company of New York.

CHANGES AT SAMPLER
NEW MACHINERY FOR PARK
CITY PLANT.
Ontario VIII Ship to the Salt Lake
Samplers While the Changes Are
Being Made-Local Demand For
Centennial-Eurek Stock-Large
Orders Gould Not Be Filled.

The trouble existing between the On
tario company and Manager T. r.
Jones of the American Smelling & Re-
timing company, which has been in
progress for the past month, is practi-
caliy at an end, and an understanding
has been reached whereby all differ
ences viii be finally and amicably adj
justed today. Several different lots of
ore during the time mentioned have
been sampled at the Macintosh mill,
Park City, and reSampled by the diff
ferent mills here, with the result, it is
claimed, that Manager Jones conten-
ton that the Park City mills work was
not absolutely reliable has been veri-
fed. New sampling machinery is now
being installed at the Park City mill by
AIR. Macintosh. and during the few
days which will be necessary to get it
ready to run Ontario shipments will be
made direct to the samplers here.
1t IS understood that Mr.. Jones is
just as anxious to have the ores which
he buys in the Park sampled there as
are the shippers, for the very good rea-
son that while he is overloaded with
silicious ores at the smelters here, the
Omaha and other plants belonging to
the combine are right noT in great
need of Just such ores as the Ontario
furnishes. Therefore. if the new meth
DDS to he employed ct the Macintosh
xnlil prove 10 De SATISFACTORY, hdEdSeT
Jones can send the consignments direct
from Park City TO any point at which
they may be needed, and avoid the ex-
ira. expense of bringing them here and
Tcshipping.
That the trouble has been finally set
tied win be good news to everybody, as
IL means a return of the same big
average shipments by the Ontario COM
pany-about 100 tons daily-which were
being maintained when Manager Jones
first filed his protest.
In justice to the Macintosh sampler
management, it should be stated that
no suspicion of irregularity has ever
been held or suggested during the
checking up sampling against the Park
City mill, Mr.. Jones only contention be-
ing, it is understood, that the mill was
not in shape and the right methods to
get the best results, were not in vogue
at the plant.

CALL FOR cENTENNIAL-EUREKA
Large Orders For the Stock Sent to
Boston Yesterday.

The condition of stocks in Boston
yesterday was better and the danger Of
a further collapse seems to be over.
Local brokers were assured by their
Boston correspondents early in the day
that conditions were improved. It was
stated that orders had been sent on for
several large blocks of Centennial
Eureka stock at $23. but the response
came that it would be impossible to fill
the orders at that price.
AT the c51ening of business in the
morning sales were reported at $21.50
share, but prices did not hold to that
figure long enough TO get any of the
Salt Lake orders covered. In the after
noon James A. Pollock was advised
that a few small blocks had been sold
at $z3, but any large quantity OF the
stock could not be secured ar any such
figures; that bids of $25 a share were
being made for ii.
No orders from this city were sent
east for Utah Consolidated, as far as
could be learned. But there were sew
eral local investors anxious to take a
chance on Bingham Copper & Gold
stock
There was no call for United States
securities he had and no one seems to
want them until ii is definitely known
who is going TO have the control of the
mine.

few weeks ago. Among them were
Sheets & Thompson When the first
news of the disturbances in Boston
financial circles came in the firm filed
at $50. Trey We're short on 100
shares at $50. They made a cleanup
of $1,000. Several others are reported
TO have done the same thing.
Mining men look upon the Boston
fdisaster with long faces. They express
the opinion that the effects of the fur
ny will be keenly felt here, for the
reason that there are numerous deals
pending which may fail because of the
shaking up IN the east. Anyway, it
has had tendency to scare probable
eastern investors, who viii wait to see
the big companies operating in Bing
ham to show up the merits of their
propositions. II is believed the big
Bingham companies will be able to do
IL, luckily for the general mining inter
ests of the state. Nevertheless, il will
take q little time to restore order, and
until that time comes, promoters viii
not attempt to present anything new
for fear of getting g cold reception at
the other end Of the line.

MAMMoTH's OUTPUT.
Eleven Months of 1899 Compared
With 1898.
Especial Correspondence

Robinson, Dec. 2O-The Mammoth
people would, beyond a doubt have
posted the regular dividend had it not
been for certain conditions in Salt
Lake City, and the approaching holt
days. AS it is, it is more than prob
able 1t will be posted so as TO be paiS
Jan. 1. The Mammoth's remarkable
record for the first eleven months of
1899 decidedly surpasses the record of
1898 for the same period. The amount
of milling ore hauled from the mine to-
the mill by the New East Tintic rail-
way amounts to 1878 tons The smelt-
ing ore, as forwarded to the local smell
tiers, 1850 tons, or $50 cars The mill
product is as follows: Concentrates.
4,23O tons, or 141 cars, and 112 bars of
bullion BY way of comparison the
record for 1898 is herewith given: Cars
OF ore, $50; cars of concentrates. 179:
bars of bullion, 80.
For 1S99-Cars of ore, $50: cars of con-
centrates, IA; bullion, 1l2.
1t will be seen that while the concen,
trate record is in favor of 1898. the oro
output was 80 per cent increase. to-
gether with thirteen bars Of bullion adj
dltlonal, which is quite a big item
when it is known that 55 per cent on
the bullion value is gold
