Proposition to Raggin.

With sufficient stock thus secured to
give them control of the mine if the
balance of the Ivanhoe conapany's hold
ings Gould be secured, it is understood
that Mr., Bamberger went direct to
President j. B. Haggin and made him
a proposition to take all the stock his
company held at 1888 per share. This
feature of the deal, it is understood,
was closed up in New York only a few
days ago and report was received in
this city yesterday that the stock held
by the Ivanhoe company, amounting in
all, it is said. to 1880 shares-had been
transferred to MIR. Bamberger and his
associates in the deal. to be by them in
turn transferred to the Guggenheim Ex-
ploration company, the S5,600,000 syndi-
cate organized a few months ago for
the express purpose of dealing in mines
and mining stocks in this country.
From all indications there is little
doubt that the Daily West will be the
big concerns first purchase and that
it's Utah representative, j. E. Bamber-
ger, will be,Sentitled to the credit of
landing the property into tine hands of
the company which he represents.
Good judges believe that over $4,000 and
probably 100000 shares out of the 10000
for which the company is capitalized,
will change hands i'm the deal.

The appearance of Judge King and
Mrs Wood upon the platform was the
signal for the first outburst of enthu~

forward To address the convention his
popularity with the delegates was at

that the German nation as & whole is

homage to- the patriotism ard love of

responding more actively to the procla-
