THE LINE TO GETTYSBURG.
Plan to Have Ii Connect With the
RrightwOod Railway.

The Washington, Sandy Springs and
Gettysburg Railway has been incorporated
at Rockville. Md, by George II. Harries,
T. L. Parker, S W. Woodward, John B.
Larner, Enos Ray, and Robsrt G.e son. 1t
is stated in the articles of Incorporation
that the company desires to build troll
ley line from Sligo Village, at the termi
nus OF the BTishtwood Railway, by way of
the Colesyille Turnpike, to Four Corners,
Burnt Mills, Sandy Springs, and thence
to Gettysburg.
The incorporatoTS are the same parties
that formed the plan to build the line to
Gettysburg some months ago by way OF
the City and Suburban line TO Burnt Mills.
The story OF their new incorporation has
been kept somewhat of secret for vari-
Gus reasons. 1t is the interesting story OF
a rivalry between these gentlemen ami an
other party that also wishes TO build TO
Gettysburg of a suit at law and of long
delay in the appearance Of any line what
ever 10 Gettysburg. The end of the fight
Is not yet determined.
1t will be remembered that the Wash
ington and Gettysburg Railway was in
corporated at Rockville early in the spring
and that George II. Harries, who was
president OF lne company, plOuiiSSu 'Aoe
construction should begin at once, and
that the line should be in operation by this
autumn.
The route of this line was the same as
that incorporated last week from Burnt
Mills to Gettysburg. The entrance into the
District was over the City and Suburban
line, however and not by way of Bright
wood and Seventh Street extended. II was
proposed TO do considerable freight busi-
ness on the line, transferring 1t 10 the
Baltimore and Ohio Railway TO be brought
into the city, as the City and Suburban
has not the right to haul freight.
This plan promised to be easy and plain
sailing at first, but I. William Harris SET
up a claim TO all the rights that the Wash
ington and Gettysburg Company believed
II possessed. He said that he had the prior
right TO build the railway and connect II
with District line. He built a short Sec
lion OF a line, about three miles in length
10 substantiate his claim, calling ii the
Washington and Baltimore Transit Com
pany, and asserted that his company would
continue the construction 10 Gettysburg
When Mr.. Harries and Mr.. Woodward and
their party appeared he entered suit fol
injunction against them, which is now
pending.
This suit explains the new corporation
the Washington and Gettyburg Railway
changing its name simply to the Wash
ington, Sandy Springs, and Gettysburg

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-Advances were
common in the stock market at the opening
of business this morning. But the trading
continued to reflect great deal Of fever
ishness and uncertainty. The local traction
stocks advanced with particular rapdity on
the report published this morning that the
tax commissioners under the Ford fran
chise act intended to establish basis of
valuation based upon the net earnings of
the companies concerned. Brooklyn Rapid
Transit was the feature in respect of activ-
ity and of advances, although even in that
instance the fluctuations were extremely
wide. The strength of these stocks was
effective in causing purchases elsewhere in
the market Advances which, in some in
stances, extended to l per cent, were re-
corded aside from this quarter; subsequent
ly, however, the advances made in the gen.
eral market were materially shaded. COM
paratively active features were the Grang-
ers, American Tobacco, Tennessee Coal and
Iron, and the Pacific stocks. The London
market was reported at a standstill pend
ing the settlement Of the critical situation
in South Africa. Little was done here for
foreign account.

BEEFsTEAK WILL BE HIGHER.
Another Rise i'm the Price of Cattle
the HOof.

CHICAGO. Sept. 21.-The price of cattle
on the hoof took another jump skyward
yesterday and it is now $500 per one hun
dred pounds, which is the highest price
reached during September since 1884. This
was the record that made the catt'e sales
men at the stock yards smile today. This
last jump will send up the price OF steaks
from 20 to % or % cents per pound. AS
an explanation for the continuance of in
crease in prices the packers say the de-
mand lis even greater than it ever was
before. Then, just at present there is an
enormous demand for beef for abroad, the
number of live cattle being exported with
an increase from LOCO to 1000 per week.
Just how long this demand will con-
tinue no one can state definitely. Al
though the supply of live stock is up to
the average of last year, many of the cat
tiemen believe that the best cattle may in
crease in price until the highwater mark
of 1882, which was $3.50 per one hundred
pounds, will be reached.

The stock market this morning opened
in a springy, buoyant way, with good ad-
vances over the closing prices of last
night, and a tendency to go higher in
the majority of stocks. The buying was
better than the selling. Whether or not
the rally was only a temporary one, TO
be followed by a further slump this after
noon. il was impossible to say, but the
street was more hopeful than at any time
heretofore this week. 1t is now believed
that the bank statement will be a good
one, and that the reserve held by the
banks will show an increase. Money was
still at per cent this morning, but niany
believe that it will be easier before the
end of the week. There were no particu-
lar features in the market, nearly all
groups showing the effects of the buying
for short and long accounts.

good investment buying of Brooklyn also.

The evening times., 1899-09-21

One of the most important news items
of the morning was the August statement
of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company
that has been waited for by the Street
for some weeks with much interest. 1t
will be remembered that the July state
ment caused some bear talk with a very
small surplus that made very insignifi-
cant showing compared with promises
that some of the friends of the company
had made. When the July statement ap-
peared the stock went off several points,
but not as much as might have been ex-
pected. The insiders explained the small
surplus by stating that the company had
worked during the month on the old sched-
ule OF prices, far below the present level.
1t remains to be seen what the insiders
will say this time. The showing of earn
ings is much better than it was month
ago, but still far from the tremendous
profits that many have promised. The net
earnings for the month were $16S, ,240, an
increase of S115.994 over the same month
of last year. The surplus for the month
was $121, SIT, an increase over the surplus
of August, 1898, of $116,910. This surplus
is at the rate of about 81 800, 600 for year,
which amount would pay the back divi-
dend on the preferred stock and leave S

GRAND ENCAMPMENT MINING
Three Hundred-Foot Shaft to be SUM
on the Rudefeha.

Last Saturday 1t as announced in
these columns, says the Rawlins Re-
publican that the Ferris Haggarty
Copper mining company had been or
ganized with a capital stock Of one
million dollars.
The property which this mining
company owns consists OF three claims:
The Rudefeha, the Rudefeha West Ex-
tension, the Rudefeha East extension.
the Dyle and the Jorden, aggregating
about 100 acres Of the choicest copper
mineral land ever yet discovered in the
Rocky mountain region. 1t is located
some sixty miles south OF Rawlins
near Battle Lake, in the Sierra Madre
mountains, and a few miles south Of the
town of Grand Encampment.
The officers of this new corporation
are George Ferris, president; Robert
Deal, vice president; L. c. Miller treas
urer and Willis George Emerson secre-
tary. Their daily income at present,
above all treatment charges at the Ar
go Smelter in Denver, amounts to
about $500 a day. When DIT is taken
into consideration that this prenom-
onal body Of copper ranging between
seven and eight feet across the vein,
and already opened UP to a depth Of
eighty-fiv feet, equipped with only a
horse within, is producing about a $500
daily income it is not hard to believe
that Wyoming is destined very soon,
when this property is equipped with
new mining machinery. to rank as
one OF the greatest copper producers In
the world.
The ores very in value from 20 to 70
per cent Pure copper, which is regard
ed by all mining men as phenomenal.
Arrangements are being made to equip
the property with the latest improved
mining machinery, air compressors,
drills, pumps, etc, and to at once sink
down a double compartment shaft ESQ
or 800 feet and cross cut into this great
ore body, which during the last two
months has attracted the attention and
serious consideration Of all mining men
throughout the country.

seemingly, is unhesitatingly verified by
all mining men who visit this bonanza
copper discovery.
1t is estimated that it will require
four months to sink the shaft lown 300
feet and cross-cut on the ore body.
This work will be commenced at once
and 1t is not improbable to believe that
the Ferris aggarty Copper Mining
company's stock. a limited amount of
which is now being offered for sale at
35 cents a share, will double and posi-
bly, quadruple in value before the close
OF the present rear.
One hundred acres of mineral land of
this character, including and surround
ing this rich mineral discovery, which,
in the very nature Of things, ought to
| give the company a very substantial
backing, and we predict htat the Hag-
garty mine is the forerunner OF an ac-
tivity in copper and gold mining that
will place the big state OF Wyoming
on a sure and certain standing as one
of the greatest mineral producers in
the Union.
