Republic.

Superintendent James S. Wyatt, of
the Mountain Lion states that he has
commenced sinking the main shaft.
When work was resumed the shaft was
425 feet below the surface II will be
continued until a depth of 200 addit-
ional feet has been reached. which will
make it far the deepest shaft in the
camp.
d. A. Mills exhibited some fine spec
linens of copper ore recently that he
had taken from the Oversight. 1t is
entirely different from any ore here
tofore found in the camp Its extent
has not been ascertained.
The California continues to improve
and is fully meeting the expectations
of those who long ago predicted that it
had a great future.
The Quilp raise from the 200 foot lev
ell is still in II feet of high grade ore.
Shipping ore is being taken out of
the northeast drift on the Flag Hill.
There is four feet of ore, all of which
will pay to treat.
Work is progressing quite rapidly on
the Admiral Dewey claim. The prop
erty lies nearer the granite contact
than any other mine under develop
menS.
Considerable surface work is being
done on the Chespa-Blue Jay. An effort
is being made to uncover the ledge
near the Morning Glory tunnel. The
wash gravel is quite deep, and hence
the work of reaching the ledge is con
siderable. The work is being done to
catch the north and south ledge that
, passes through the Morning Glory.
1t is understood that the Golden
Chariot is soon to resume. The prop
erty has had considerable work done
on it, and it is claimed that some good
ore was struck. About that time the
treasury became depleted and work
was suspended.
The pay-shoot in the Chico ledge has
widened out to six feet The ore body
has increased it's width two and one
half feet within the past few days. Il
gives promise of growing still larger
1t is not unreasonable to believe that il
time it will become as large as the
shoot in the Republic.
Two men are driving tunnel in The
Racket. 1t is in about 100 feet. Some
fine stringers of quartz is now in thu
/
predicted that the ledge will be encoun
tered in a short time.
The drifts on the Princess Maud
= have commenced. They will be driver
100 feet north and 100 feet south. Thi
will be the third, or 800 foot level be
low the tunnel level.
The new crushing machinery for tn
Republic mill will be installed in
short time, as every preparation ha
t been made for its reception. 1t is no
considered probable that the mill will
be able to take much if any custom or
until these auxiliary crushers ar
working, and the mill has been brough
: up to its full capacity of 200 tons.

Wheat Buoyant; Other Markets Rallied in Sympathy.

For two and one-half hours, the US

the board Of trade, wheat displayed an
effervescert spirit, which was hailed
with delight by those who prosper pro-
portionately as the market Is active.
During the first hour there was more
speculative business than during the
whole session of any other day this
week. The first symptoms OF buoyan-
cy and strength brought back from the
allurlng stock market many deserters

frmness of foreign markets and. TO Il
greater degree, In the falling off in
northwestern receipts. The week s re-
ceipts at Minneapolis, Duluth and Chi
cago aggregated LIST cars, LOIS cars
less than the previous week, and 1907
cars under the receipts at these points
the corresponding week year ago.
To-day's receipts were GIG cars. against
$40 cars last week, and AL cars a yenr
ago. OF these Chicago reported IFS
cars. eleven OF which were contract
grade. These figures served rs q ba-
sis for the assertion that Northwestern
| receipts had ut last entered upon a pro-
| longed reduction which would finally
! substantiate the government report
that less than $4,000. 900 bushels had been
raised in the three great spring wheat
states of the northwest. Primary re-
ceints were 445 900 bushels, compared
with 10000 bushels 2. year ago. Expor-
tiers reported TWEEN ty-tlve loads taken.
Senboard clenrnnces in wheat and -four
were equal to 10000 bushels.

prices had illuminated by frequently
putting out short lines. But the aston

has taken up offerings from all sources
with unsatisated voraclty, seeking out
constantly new stocks for favor and
shifting profits from one. quarter Of the

9 Last night New York showed more
symptoms Of alarm over the rumora OF
financial difficulties in London z than
London Itself had done. This morning
the New York market gave about fif-
teen minutes Of active buying to over
come the rather sharp declines In the
International stocks which had resulted
from the unsettled condition OF affairs
IN London growing out Of the announce
ment of actual failures resulting from
the gamble In west Australians and
their subsequent slump. The lower
prices here seemed an attraction In
themselves and the oggresslvely sus-
talned advance In St Paul on renewed
reports of the entry of a. ], Hill into an
active share in the management OF the
company and Of alliances with other
northwestern railroads was a stimllla-
ting Influence throughout the whole list.
The buying OF st. Paul itself was on a
very large scale and the price rose to
lTs leaving the previous record price
far behind. 2 The; market sold off little
before the bank statement. but renewed
strength appeared on the showing made
BY tho banks the expansion In loans
being more than provided for bys the
increase In reserves OF nearly SO, o00, 900,
which was considerably more than was
expected. The principal strength of the
market was In high grade railroad
stocks. The high priced members Of
the anthracite group were! conspi cuous.
