Silver City. Nov. 26.-H. G. Cole, SUI
perintendent of the Four Aces, is ex-
pecting the word to come from Salt
Lake to resume operations on that
property. The station has been cut at
the 200 for the sinking pump, which has
arrived from the Jeanesviile Iron
works. Jeanesville. Pa, and everything
is awaiting the action of the manage
ment.
And that" said Mr.. Cole, lis every
thing there is TO tell you excepting that
we are guarding the balance of our
underground workings to prevent the
South Swansea from taking additional
ground that does not belong to them.

thorough disgust, sit makes me wild
when I think of our men walking out
and quitting the premises because en-
ployees of the South Swansea told them
to do so. don't put myself up as any

In spite of the efforts of the police the
murderer had remained undiscovered, al

was sleeping on a bench in the shop. and
a dog was lying at his feet. The boy statef /
that he heard the shot, and shortly after
as he lay quaking with fear. man opened
the back door and entered the shop. At
that moment the dog sprang up barking.
and the man. who no doubt expected to

it, fled out at the door, followed by the
barking dog. Since then the dog had not

New York, May 11.-Today's stock mar
ket was little more than an overflow of
speculation from yesterday. 1t opened
with display Of great strength, or, TO
speak more correctly, at material advances
from yesterdays final figures. In a num-
Der of instances the days highest prices
were recorded in the early dealings. After
the first hours trading the market lapsed
into duliness and prices sagsed. Specu-
lative sentiment appeared to be somewhat
jaded after the turmoil in the market
earlier in the week. Some of the intlu-
ences which contributed to the sharp open
ing advances were a corresponding Iise in
the London market fer American stocks:
the temperance of foreign houses as
buyers here; the Government crop report,
which was accounted less unfayorsbie than
had been expected, and the general antici-
patton that Saturdays bank statement Will
show very large addition TO the bank s
surplus reserves on account of the release
by the Treasury Of IS per cent of the
Spanish indemnity and the reduction in
brokers' loans in the weeks liquidation in
the stock market. Rejecting the latter

easiest in some time, but all these favor
able circumstances seemed to spend their
force in the opening of business.
What was altogether missing from TIE
days market was the support from lin
side quarters, which turned the stocks in
yesterdays market. While foreign houses
were buyers Of stocks again today, their
purchases were in greatly diminished vol
ume as compared with yesterdays. In the
place of the noted inside support it was
evident that the stocks purchased for
protective" purposes in the break OF the
early part of the week had been to some
extent, at least, returned to the public in
yesterdays wild scramble. In short the
days market was again wholly the result
of simple technical circumstances. So far
as could be ascertained the days material
circumstances engaged little attention
after the opening, when it became evident
that belated speculators for rise could no
longer count upon inside buyers TO extri-
cate them from their position. The market
possesses few features of interest. Brook

New York, May 11.-Many critics rather
incline to the belief that the course of the
cotton market in the near future will be
shaped largely by Liverpool. The buoy
ancy in that market of late is not to be
ignored. Despite several apparently de-
pressing influences the trade there is sup
porting the market in a manner hardly ex-
pected. Cotton trade conditions in Liver
pool are the finest ever known. Heavy
rains in Texas and at Palestine were re-
ported. They will serve to supply the de-
iciency in moisture heretofore complained
of in that section. Rains also fell in the
Atlantic States. The Government report
indicated a ranging from 62 at Abilene to
16 at Galveston and Augusta. There was

There are hundreds of girls employed in

fresh relay OF workers. and after the first
stock of all-ready-to- sell seed packets has
been depleted the girls and all hands have
to work to the utmost to get ready new
supply People who have planted their
seeds and had them fail to come up send
for duplicate assortments. and those who
had perhaps no idea of planting at all are
moved to experiment with flowers and veg
etabIes when the first warm days come, and
there is a feeling for outdoor occupation.
For this reason. although the regulation
seed orders are all filed and provided for
during the winter season, the demand is
never to be calculated definitely and every
large firm has to turn in and put up a new
supply when the planting season is actual
ly on.

jority of the professional element did this
very thing and reaped the fruits OF their
good judgment. There was some good
buying OF stocks. but the realizing of
profits after the rapid advance was too
large an item for the market to withstand.
