"Our company is operating a group

"The main Utopian vein crops on

$40 to $37. 1t concentrates, as near
as we can determine, 10 to /, so the
advisability of placing concentrator

"The greater portion of the ores
of our district are base, but there are
some notable exceptions. The Samp-
son group and the Alliance group
carry purely free milling rock. The
Sampson group comprises 10

A mining claim in Idaho, whether

600 feet wide, making 20 acres A
single claim of these dimensions of

furnish rich pay for men and ma
chinery for years. Thunder Noun
tain proper is made up of such ledge
claims or rather minerals ia place,
while the placer grounds below take
up the water sheds at its base. The
ledge claims are separated by mag
mary or legal lines, determined by
natural or artificial monuments. To-
gether they form but mass, pro-
nounced porphyry dixie, so that
one passing over the surface would
not know where one began and the
other ended, save only for the nat
ural or artificial monuments. The
length and breadth are merely the
superficial dimensions, to determine
the surface appropriation, the depth,
while legally following the ledge

earth, its mineralized values are
never accurately known, but certain
indications prove depth. For IN
stance, porphyry when diked up is
known to have come from great
depth like lava in mass. The whole
Of Thunder Mountain is porphyry

has been thrown up by volcanic ac-

find it, a great deal higher,

is certain that thousands Of feet have
been washed from its surface and

Raleigh Post
Possibly the largest mortgage
ever given in North North Caro-
lima was recorded with the register
of deeds of Wake county yester-
day.
It was the trust deed authorized
by the stockholders of the Raleigh
& CASTOR Railroad Wednesday
last in favor of the Continental
Trust Company of Baltimore, to
secure an issue of S., 900, 900 first
consolidated mortgage bonds.
It required So. 500 in war
stamps to legally put the mort
gage on record. Fifty $50 stamps
and two 10 cent stamps were used.
The amount paid to the coun-
ty for recording the mortgage was
only $27, a mere bagatelle when
compared with the tariff paid the
government. The railroad paid the
county $3.50 for registration OF
the document and $3.50 for pro.
baton and seal certificates.
The mortgage is printed neat
ly and bound in book form with
paper backs. It comprises sixty
two pages, printed only On one
side. The instrument is in the
nature of a deed of trust to Sc
cure an issue of S., 600. 900 first

PLAN NOW IN SHAPE.
Tobacco Growers Formally Ac-
cept JOrdan's Proposition
They are in For Bust
ness.

Raleigh Post.
Pursuant to adjournment the
Tobacco Growers Association of
North Carolina met again yes
terday morning at 9 o'clock.
President J.. Bryan Grimes
called the meeting to order, and
Mr.. T B. Parker, the secretary
was at his post.
About sixty delegates were in
their seats, the others leaving
for their homes on early trains.
The association took up first
the plan of Mr.. J. F. Jordan as
reported favorably upon by the
committee The report OF the
committee, which embodied MI.
Jordan's proposition, was unani-
mously accepted.
Mr., Jordan's plan, briefly stat
ed, is this:
ssThis perfects an organization of
the tobacco raisers of Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina,
East Tennessee, with president,
vice-president, secretary andrea
surer, and twenty-five directors
a majority Of whom shall be
farmers. The capital stock shall
be divided in shares of the value
of $40 each, eighty per cent to
be taken by capitalists and twen-
ty per cent by the farmers, also
that the latter who had not the
cash to take shares. could pay
for their interest with tobacco.
The stockholders must enter
an ironclad agreement not to
sell their tobacco to anyone but
this company, the latter agree
ing to pay not less than Is per
cent more than the average
prices paid for five years past.
The stockholders also agree that
in the event of a desire to sell
their stock, it must first be offer
ed to the association before
being placed on the market.
The plan further stipulates:
The tobacco of every grower
shall be averaged and graded On
the warehouse floors by two leaf
dealears selected by my people
and two growers selected by this
organization. These shall form
a committee to grade the tobacco
and price if, and the same price
shall be paid to each seller.
Do this for a year and then
store the tobacco, after curing
and the usual method. away.
We may have to keep it 3 year,
or two years, or three years.
The trust has enough tobacco to
last them a year, but the stock
will run out, and we will have all
the tobacco. They will be bound
to buy it Of US, at our price, Or
else go out of business,
By this method it is proposed
tha5 the farmers shall not ONLY
obtain reasonable prices for their
tobacco, but also share in the
profits of the association, which
proposes, it necessary, to equip
and run factories.

THE STOCK MARKET
 WAS QUITE STEADY In Spite of the Continued Dis-
 couragement Reported. EXPORTS HAVE INCREASED 
Crop Prospects Are Playing an Impos- ing Part in Speculative Consider ation and Firmness of Rail-
 roads Has Been Helped

New York, May 19.-The stock market maintained fairly good speculative tone today ill spite of the continued discourage ment reported by the mercantile agencies over the course of commodity prices. Rail- road stocks generally are higher on the day to the extent of a fraction and some of the specialtes show larger changes. Sugar was the leader of the market without any news to account for its strength beyond the sug- gestive parallel that might be drawn be- tween it's case and that of the New York gas companies whose cosly conflict seems to be ended.
 With the profitable period of the year ap- proacmhing in the sugar trade it is natural to suppose the incentive to settling a con test that takes away the profit of business Is augmented.
 Consolidated reflected the pressure of speculative realizing, and tobacco stocks showed renewed signs of weakness. The local traction stocks continued strong. The market is largely one of specialties. There was some demand for the Vanderbilt stocks apparently on the score of the reported re- turn from Europe of William K. Wander bit. which was denied after the close. Union Pacific gained a large fraction.
 The statement of the country foreign trade for April showing the largest exports and largest excess of exports for that month in our history emphasized the con Viction that enormous balances remain abroad to the credit of this country placed at interest.
 Crop prospects are playing imposing part in speculative considerations and the firmness of western railroad shares has been helped by this consideration. The un- dertone in Wall street. nevertheless, con- tinues depressed and uncertain, due to the obvious fact that buying of commodities is still withheld in waiting for indications that bottom prices have been reached.
 The fact that investment buying of bonds has been dull in spite of low rates for money has been a dscouraging factor in the stock market. United States refudng 2's, when issued, advanced 134 old As and 5s, 1h; new As, A, and the 2's and SIS, 1a in the bid price.
