CONDITIONS IN BOSTON.
Salt Lake Investors Buy 10000
Shares of Centennial-Eu Eureka

Dispatches from Boston yesterday
showed a weakness in Centennial-
Eureka and Salt Lake investors rush
ed more orders east for the stock
which was reported selling down "a
s21 share again. Very little stock
was gotten for that price. however.
A we'll known broker stated yester-
day that Salt Lake money had been
sent east to buy no less than 10000
shares, which was secured at prices
ranging from s19 up to $3.50.
Out of that amount one firm filled
orders for 5000 shares, their clients for
the most part being stockholders in
the old company who sold out their
holdings sometime ago. They know,
perhaps better than anyone else what
the stock is worth. They are perfectly
confident that the stock is so per cent
under it's actual value selling at $50
a share.
After the first of the year the out
put mine will be no less THAI
100 tons day that will average better
than $40 TO the ton. A gentleman in
position to know said yesterday that
the company would be able to pay its
promised quarterly dividend of 81 a
share twice over with the ore averag-
ing no better than s35 to the ton.
The first dividend to be paid by the
new company was promised for April
1, by the Clark, Coolidge regime.
With Mr.. Holden at the head of the
company it will certainly be paid by
that time if not before

Says Prospects For Democratic Sue
cess Are Bright.
ONLY ONE CANDIDATE
THERE WILL BE NO OPPOSITION
TO BRYAN.
Says the Convention Next Year
Will Reafirm the Chicago Plat
form and Will Declare Against
Imperialism and In Favor of Reg
ulating Trusts-Currency Bill.

Chicago, Dec 21.-Senator James K.
Jones. chairman OF the Democratic ma
tional committee, looked into party af-
fairs at headquarters in the Unity
building todax. He assured everybody
that the prospects for Democratic sue
cess next year are brighter than they
were in 1896. He said only W. J. Bryan
would be mentioned as candidate for
president in the convention.
The senator denied a story sent out
from Washington that he had repu-
dated the system of collecting money
for a campaign fund, and had dis
charged Richard S. Slater, one of the
collectors.
THE system Of collecting money" he
continued, "was inaugurated by me. It
has been success. and is worthy of
the support of all Democrats. There are
no differences between Ex-Governor
Stone and myself, and never have been
l approve all he did while I was in
Europe"
The senator also said that the selec-
tion of Sam B. Cook for manager of
the ways and means bureau was made
at his request. He approved j. G.
JohnSon's work as chairman of the ex-
ecutlNe committee WIN reference 10
next years contest the senator said:
Reafirm Chicago Platform.
NO doubt the convention will re-
affirm the Chicago platform. 1t viii
declare against imperialism and in
favor Of regulating trusts. / think, too,
that IL will condemn the efforts which
have become too common to control
elections by the use of money. In my
opinion. the passage OF the bill estab-
fishing the gold standard will aid US
greatly"
The senator said he never saw such
a diversity of opinion as to where the
nominee for vice president should come
from. Regarding the currency bill,
Senator Jones said:
Il think the adoption OF a gold stand
ard bill by the present congress would
have an enormous effect in shaping the
money issue. Il is a declaration on the
part OF the Republican party for which
it will have TO answer. A gold bill, if
adopted by the senate-and there is no
doubt in my mind that the present bill,
substantially, viii be accepted by <he
senate-will force the Republicans to
explain what is, on its face, a stroke
of treason against the announcement
OF the st. Louis platform"
The senator figures that the currency
bin could command fifty. and possibly
ffty-two votes in the senate.

UNITED STATES MINING
COMPANY is INVOLVED

Suits Filed Against the
Promoters of the Utah Copper
Properties-New Difficulties of the
Bank the Most Startling and Far
Reaching for Many Years
Thought That the Institution Had
Been Saved From Collapse.

Washington, Dec. 21.-Comptroller
Dawes this evening appointed Special Ex-
aminer Daniel G. Wing temporary re-
ceiver of the Globe National bank of Bos-
ton, Mass. In connection with his action,
the comptroller said:
Some time ago, Mr. Wing, who is one
of the experts employed in the system of
SPECIAL bank examinations recently inau-
gurated, discovered a serious condation of
affairs in the Globe National bank, which
he Immediately brought to the attention
OF the comptroller and under his direc-
ton, TO the directors of the bank. The
directors very lauoabiy agreed and un-
bad assets found, and have greatly i'm
proved the condition of the bank since
that time. They also delivered to the
comptroller written guarantee that
they would remove the doubtful assets
Recent failures in Boston have lessened
the guarantee and involved the solvency
of the bank.
Protect the Creditors.
In view of the fact that to allow the
bank to remain open longer will result in
injustice to unsecured creditors, now that
the condition of insolvency Il found to
exist. II becomes my duty under the law
to appoint a receiver. A considerable
cash dividend can be paid to creditors at
once.
The condition of the bank was discov-
cred by Special Examiner Wing in time
directors as will probably prevent the
failure from infiicting heavy losses upon
the depositors, but the directors and
stockholders will lose heavily.
Tne bank ii is understood was involved
in the Squire failure and in mining stocks
The following is a condensed statement
of the condition of the bank as reported
to the comptroller Dec. 2, 1899:

GOES TO SUPREME COURT.
Wyoming Water Case That Has
Aroused Much Interest.
(Special to The Herald. }

Cheyenne, Wyo., Dec. 21.-The water
case of Johnson against Gordon. in which
Judge Scott of the Laramie county court
decided about month ago that terri
torial water appropriations could be sold
as personal property, will be carried to
the supreme court. Mr.. Johnson, who
was defeated in the case. says. he is deter
mined to fight the matter to the end.
The case has attracted widespread at
tention throughout not only Wyoming,
but the adjoining states as the decision
was something unusual and entirely I'm
expected. A large number of water-userS
in the state have expressed opinions to
the effect that water appropriations can
not be dealt with as personal property,
and the decision of the supreme court
will be awaited with interest
