Bradstreet's report for the past week
says:
Midsummer dizziness In distributIVe
trade and industry and further reduc-
tion OF prices OF manufactured goods.
particularly iron and steel and raw
textiles, but a marked upward move
ment In nearly all agricultural pro
ducts, are the leading features OF the
business situation last week. Wheat
has advanced Ia cents per bushel since
June and 20 cents from the low point
reached in November. a gain over the
latter period OF ~ cents In price.
Corn crop advices are still in a high
degree encouraging. but that cereal has
sympathized with wheat, As has also
oats and hog products in turn felt the
quickening influence of higher prices
for corn. Improved demand for dairy
products Is reelected In slight advances
this week. Crop damage has been a
moving cause for the advance In the
price Of cotton. Some weakness has
been noted In cotton goods, without.
however. faVorably affecting distrtbu
ton. Trade In dry goods has been
helped by warmer weather. Wool il
lower and the woollen goods market Ia
rather quiet, awaiting the next Lon
don wool sale and the opening Of the
spring weight season.
Weakness Of prices Is still the lead.
Ing feature OF the iron trade and lower
quotations are noted for pig iron.
Structural material also has verified
predictions In a decline from 81 to 80
per ton. Domestic orders for iron are
perhaps slightly more numerous, but
are for small quantities. Talk of a
systematic shutdown OF iron furnaces
producing for the open market comes
chiefly from the south, but while this
subject Is under consideration the dis
ease Is finding partial cure In the go |
Ing out Of blast Of a number Of less
economical furnaces, and the summer
shutdown Of many mills. Export de-
mand Is good. but, as for some time
past, wait upon the question of freight

The other metals are steady and
unchanged in price, with
he exception OF tin, which Is slightly
lower.

Paris-The sudden death of Count
MurAvieff, the strong bulwarE OF the
Franco Russian alliance, has caused deep
concern among the members OF the French
official and political world Count Mura-
vietf was bitter antagonist OF England,
and in him France ielt she had an in
tiuential friend. The cordial reht of
the foreign offices OF Russia and France,
moreover, have not rested upon a purely
political basis. A great element OF strength
was found In the personal friendship ex
isting between VI. Deleasse, French min
lister OF foreign affairs, and Count Mura-
vieff, and to the former the loss Of his
friend came as a severe blow. The re-
moyal OF Count Muravief from the eoun-
chs OF the ear is gravely commented up
on by the French press, and in hopes ex-
pressed that the policy OF Russia viii not
be affected thereby one discerns apprehen-
sions lest the fOunda ton Of the Franco
Russian alliance should be rudely shaken
by the looping off OF one OF its strongest
roots.
The veil drawn over events in Picking
by the interruption Of communication
serves to increase the anxiety felt here
NJ. lDeleasse, minister OF foreign affairs,
speaking today on the situation, gave it
as his opinion that the powers first duty
was TO overcome the rebellion and to in
sure the safety of the properties and lives
of all foreigners.

BRITISH COLUMBIA.

A report was received In Spokane
last week Of a remarkable strike on the
Buckhorn, in Deadwood camp.
The British American Corporation
being now satisfied as TO the intrinsic
merits Of the Mist group. owned by
them, have decided to install q com
pressor plant and other machinery
necessary for systematic mining.
The Big Four group Of claims, which
has been taken over by the British
Lion Mining & Development Company,
limited, is being actively developed, un-
der the direction of A. Vernon. This
group, which lies on the divide between
Porcupine and Hidden creeks, Is one Of
the most promising properties in this
district.
The recent development on the vii.
cox mine, owned by the Broken Hill
Mining and Development Company, has
disclosed more high grade ore. The
tunnel on the Fourth OF July has been
driven to a distance Of 1876 feet, and
has now reached a spot 40 feet below
the bottom of the shaft.
A good strike has now been made on
the Snowslide claim, which lies about
two miles up Wild Horse creek. Mr..
Dodd, the owner Of the property, has
uncovered fine shoot of solid galena
ore about eight to ten inches wide and
averaging $35 per ton. This shoot was
discovered at the depth of 20 feet.
While William Hatton, a carman at
the lie Roi mine, was riding a car load.
ed with rock down the track to the
edge Of the dump about 8: 80 one even
ing last week, the car struck some
obstruction and jumped over the end
of the track and down the dump. Hat.
ton was flung over the dump ahead OF
the car. The ton OF rock 1t contained
must have been rolled upon him and
knocked him insensible. The car itself
rolled down over him and when picked
up he was terribly mutilated. He has
suffered internal injuries which are
expected to prove fatal.
1t is announced that the Boundary
district is to have a smelter of 500 tons
daily capacity before the close Of the
year. The site has not yet been chosen,
but several are under consideration and
1t is expected that a choice will be
made shortly.
Eight hundred tons Of ore shipped to
the smelter Is an encouraging showing
for one week, when it is considered
that smelters are not yet ready to re-
eeiVe ore and that shipments from
some Of the big properties are being
delayed until advantage can be taken
OF cheaper transportation rates for a
short haul. The Knob Hill and Old
Ironsides will probably ship to the
CRANKY smelter this week. and this
ought to double the total. 1t Is only a
question Of a few months until Boun.

big shipping centers Of British Colum-
bia.

At the Black Bear the work Of open.
Ing up new slopes goes steadily for
ward. The quality Of the ore being
mined shows that values are gradually
increasing. and there Is no diminution
in quantity. By the time the extra
stamps now at the mill are installed
the mine will be fully able to supply
the mill with all the ore It can crush.
The opening up Of the War Eagle will
give an ample reserve at all times.
This will enable them TO develop each
property without any hurry and in an
economical way.

Wis, transacted the most important
business connected with the congress,
that of the adoption Of the report of
the committee on plan of permanent
organization. The report provides that
the name shall be the international
Mining Congress" Its object shall be
the fostering Of fraternal relations
among those engaged in mining AMI
kindred pursuits in various countries
and portions Of the United States, the
improvement Of the mining laws of the
United States and the submission of a
national department of mining. The
congress will meet annually. The next
convention goes to Boise City, Idaho.
The report Of the committee on reso-
lut:Sns, which calls upon congress to
establish department Of mining, was
carried. Officers were nominated as
follows: President, L. Bradford Prince

Berlin, June 25.-The Chinese troubles
have almost completely swept the South
African war from public attention. Even
the latest Pretoria news went uncom.
mented upon except by the military.
About Chinese events the foreign office
uses great reticence, and above all studi.
ously avoids admitting that the present
events mean an actual and probably bit
ter and protracted war with China. This
may be partly owing to the attacks Of
the radical and socialist press, which
maintains that the present rising Of Chi.
nese against the foreign devils" is di.
rectly or indirectly due to the German
seizure Of Kiau Chau. In this the papers
are strengthened by the public utterances
Of the German missionary bishop Of Shan
Tung, Won Anzeer, who recently described
the disastrous effect upon missionary work
Of the Kiau Chau seizure.

REPUnLlC.

There is considerable free gold in
the ore being taken out Of the north
drift ON the intermediate level Of the
San Pom.
The Chico shaft is 290; feet deep, and
is going down about three feet each
"a hours. The shaft was thoroughly in
spected. 1t is well timbered and lined,
and straight as an arrow.
Ore phenomenally rich in silver has
been discovered in the Quilp. Assays
OF the face Of the raise being made
from the tunnel level yesterday gave
so ounces of silver and SIS in all values.
The work on the station at the 2S5-
foot level Of the Tom Thumb Is going
forward rapidly, and is nearly eomplet
ed 1t is conceded by the superintend-
emit that the drills viii not be started
much before July /.
Some rich ore is being taken out of
raise in the Black Tail 1t is said
to be equal to any found in the mine.
The dificulty in the way Of crowding
work on the Black Tail mine Ia found
in the disposition Of the ore. The ore
bin is full and so are the Slopes and
levels Of the mine. There can be no
change until the custom mill starts up.
Good progress was made on the MouL
ton tunnel, which is one Of the proper
ties Of the Eastern Star company. It
has been driven so feet. An extension
Of the tunnel rs feet will bring it. to
the ledge. This 1t will tap at an esti-
mated depth OF 100 feet. The forma-
ton that is now being passed through
in the tunnel is very heavily mineral
lied, and is apparently close to a ledge
OF some description.
Joseph Dederichs OF Salt Lake, the
contractor for the erection Of the new
Republic mill, says that the buildings
for the mill are completed, the crush
ers are up. the rolls set and the machin
cry practically in. with the exception
Of the roasters. The 16 cyanide solu
ton tanks, 22x22 feet square and 1877

Mr.. Dederichs calculates that the mill
