Being Surveyed by the Seaboard Air
 Line

Atlanta, Ga., August 15-The Seaboard Air Line has started a surveying party from Augusta to run a line to its road at Athens, shortening the distance between this city and Augusta.
 Next week the application for charter will be advertised in each county through which tine road will run. The name of the line will be the Chattanooga, Augusta and Charleston Air Line.
 When this line was being run various rumors were circulated about it Some thought the Louisville and Nashville was behind 1t, but it turned out to be a move by the new owners of the Seaboard. There is reason to believe that the road will be built from Athens to Augusta and on to Charleston.

GATE CITY MILL COLD.
Employment of Green Hand Causes
 Men to Go on Strike.

The Alabama rolling mills at Gate City were closed down yesterday.
 There was a strike on among the em- ployes, the exact cause of which could not definitely be ascertained. It Is understood that the employment of a green hand by a puddler named Bealls precpitated the trouble. This is said to be against the regulations of the Amalgamated Associa- ton, and mass meeting was held Monday afternoon, the result of which was the re- fusal of the night shift to go to work

WEST MORNING GLORY.
A 1O-inch Vein of Good Ore Dis
closed On the 100 Level.

IF anyone thinks the West Morning
Glory is not going to make a mine, they
viii miss their guess" said a well
known mining man from Tintic yester-
day. There was a time when 1t was
looked upon as a sort OF a Wllucat
proposition. but those connected WITH
the mine have gone right along about
their business, and while some nave
been crying it down, development work
has been pushed along vigorously, and
only a few days ago nice showing of
ore was disclosed in the drift started on
the 100-foot level, and no more than
three feet from the shaft. When the
ore was first encountered it was only
about two inches wide, but when L
came away from the mine it had wild
ened out to ten inches, all within a
distance of about fifteen feet"
Samples were seen at the company's
offices in the ID. F. Walker building
yesterday. They are a fine-looking lot,
and Vice President w. F Smith says
they Will carry values of S25 TO the ton
in copper and silver. The ore carries,
he says, no base or deleterious sub
stances and containing the large per-
centage of iron it does, it is a most
excellent smelling proposition.
Mr.. Smith made an examination of
the mine a few days ago, and asserts
that the drift so far has proven that it
is cutting close to the top of a large
ore chute,
The West Morning Glory has a double
compartment shaft down to a depth of
100 feet, and the company has a new
bunk house under construction, aside
from various other improvements. The
mine'is located only short distance
from the Tesora, and adjoining the
Homestake

Productive Forces OF the Country
Largely Covered BY Contract.
EMPLOYMENT IS ENSURED
PROFIT ALSO GUARANTEED FAR
INTO COMING YEAR.
Increase In Foreign Trade-Wool
Has Advanced Further, With
Much Speculative Buying-High-
er Prices Demanded In the In
terior-0n the Stock Exchange.


New York, Dec S.-R G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade which is
sues tomorrow will say: The APP
proach of a new year usually brings so
much of hesitancy in business that
small shrinkage this year is surprising.
Probably never before have the pro-
ductive forces of the country been so
largely covered by contracts at this
date ensurihg employment and profit
far into the coming year. This re-
suits, not; from any mere speculative
excitement, but from actual demands
for consumption running far beyond
the producing capacity hereafter and
pushing it to remarkable expansion.
The fiicrease in foreign trade has been
Insignificant compared with the in
crease of $4,000, 100000 in payments
through clearing houses. For the week
the payments have been 203 per cent
larger than last year and 1871 per cent
larger than in 1892.
Prices of pig iron are strongly main
tanned. though extraordinary efforts
promise increase of over quarter in
producing capacity within a year be-
cause the. entire output of most of the
furnaces for the first and in part of the
last half of next year has been. sold
already. Sheet bars are shade lower
works. Demand for cars and other
railway equipment is enormous and
also for shipping both lake and ocean.
Tin is weak at 2712 cents, and copper
declined to 1874, but lead and spelter
are stronger.
Hides are again stronger at Chicago.
although receipts of cattle at the four
chief western markets in eleven months
have been 8 per cent larger than in
the previous year, as the demand for
consumption in manufacture has evil
IDENTIFY increased much more. The
western production of boots and shoes
has gained more than eastern, yet ship
ments from Boston have been 1913, 900
boxes of 9.3 per cent more than last
year and $4,000 cases, or 37.S more than
in 1892. when cattle receipts were rs
per cent larger than this year.
Wool has advanced further with
much speculative buying, though most
manufacturers supplied wants for the
present and are disposed to purchase
at prices now averaging higher than
at any time since June Is, 1891. High
er prices demanded in the interior and
rising prices abroad. give confidence in
spite of the fact that goods have adj
vanced from the lowest point this year
only 1872 per cent.
Wheat has risen cents and corn a
fraction, with decline in western re-
ceipts of both. Atlantic exports of
wheat this week. flour included, were
only 3,359,667 bushels against 1886, 767
last year and Pacific exports SS6.172

ON THE STOCK EXCHANGE.
Spectators Waiting For Money Mar
ket to Resume Normal Conditions

New YORK, Dec. S.-BradStreetS flnan-
'cial review tomorrow will say: Specu-
lation has narrowed perceptibly this
week, and the fluctuations in the stock
list We're again, to a very large extent,
due to professional trading. The dis
position of the public as the end of the
year approaches, seems to be to reduce
its outstanding speculative contracts
and to wait until the January disburse-
ments are completed and the money
market, as it is hoped, is returned to a
normal condition.
The fact that supplies of funds in the
call loan market were apparently
smaller this week and that the bulk of
the borrowing was at per cent, or
better, tended to support this view and
to render the street at large cautious.
If not bearish. The fact that no i'm
portant return flow of money from the
interior can be detected but that on the
contrary the south and other sections
continue to draw funds from New
York and that the sales of government
bonds to the treasury under the extern
sion of Secretary Cages offer are prac-
tically suspended. are not without their
effect on sentiment.
Moreover it is appreciated in banking
circles and by large speculative inter-
ests that the critical point in the
foreign financial situation is approach
ing. The Bank OF England, IL Is true,
did not advance it's rate this week.,
while the bank of France marked its
figure up to 31s per cent to meet the
probable movement of gold from Paris
to London foreshadowed by rise in
sterling exchange at the former city.
Bankers here are' disposed to believe
that the bank of France will not OPP
pose the transfer of a limited amount
of gold to London and in commenting
L H..
New York proclaimed the BELIEF that
no gold will be shipped from the for
eign monetary position, complicated as
it is by the war in South Africa and
the slow and doubtful progress of the
British forces, undoubtedly acts as a
check on the markets here and in
creases the disposition to restrict trans
actions and discourage decided specula-
tive activity while such elements of
uncertainty are apparent

Ell AMIGOS RICH IRE.
Samples Just Sent Down Show

Day before yesterday President w. H.

want of a better name. was designated
as sulphur" by Superintendent Dix,
showed the presence of $3.50 gold and
Il per cent sulphur. Superintendent
Dix did not say how far from its in
tersection with the tunnel the drift had
been extended, but it is thought to be
somewhere in the neighborhood of fifty
feet, and as vertical depth makes very
fast in the direction which the drift is
taking, Mr. Dodge expects to see the
values increase with every foot which
is run from now on, and is patiently
waiting for an improvement which will
warrant the shipment of carload or
more. The main tunnel is being push
ed steadily forward in the meantime.

above Just as soon as possible The ore
cut the other day is thought to be moth
ing more than a sfringer or feeder from

MIR. LAMSoN RETURNS.
Expects to Do Some Vigorous Work
at Bingham Tunnel

Allan G. Lamson returned yesterday
from a brief business trip to Denver.
where he went to order some special
electrical machinery TO be used in the
development of the Bingham Tunnel
project.
1t is the intention of Mr. Lamson to
prosecute some extensive exploratory
work next year. He has decided to put
up a new electric hoist in keystone
gulch. capable of a 1000 foot lift. The
machinery has been ordered and when
it arrives, II will be put in place as
quickly as possible, preparatory to
sinking a shaft to the tunnel level a
distance of 3S5 feet. The work will be
done with the application of huge air
compressors which have been ordered
especially for this work.
On reaching the tunnel level with the
shaft Mr.. I.arnson says he viii be en-
abled to drive the tunnel through at
three headings. At the same time he
expects to open up some rich bodies
of ore, which will go d long way to-
wards paying for the vast amount of
development work planned to be done
next year.
