BRADsTREET's ON THE wEER.
fhe Aggregate Business Reported OF
Unprecedented Volume

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-Bradstreet's To
morrow will say:
Despite some irregularity due to the
recurrence of corn damage reports Dbm
the Eastern surplus producing States and
the formal launching of the much herald
ed general steel workers strike, the ag-
gregate business the country over seems
To De OF good, and, in most sections
unprecedented volume for this season of
the year. Changes, where noted for the
week. have been rather of tone than Of
actual demand, and in this matter of tone
or sentiment, the favorable Developments
have arisen.
All available measures of supply, de-
mand, and movement point to the bust
ness done in July having exceeded any
thing transacted in any similar ~pidsum~
mer month. This, too, oespite the excep-
tionally not weather. drought, strike talk
and similar conditions untavorable to
business iextenGion.
Bank clearings last week showed the
expansion, and clearings for the first
week of August show continued expansion
over last year and preceding periods
Prices in the month just closed made a
further advance from the low level of
June j. and finally gross railway earn
ings for July point to increases alike in
volume and In percentage far exceeding
any previous July, and heavier in fact
than for any previous month for more
than a year past.
Touching the crop damage question, it
may be said that reports confirm Brad
streets statement that early corn small
proportion of the present years crop, by
the way, comes in for most of the dam
age, and late corn certainly looks and
seems to be better. The transference OF
interest regarding the corn crop this week
from the west to the east of the Missis-
sippi is interesting, but the further cut
does not seem to be justified.
Taking trade and crop reports to-
gether, the chief centre of bearish feel
ing this week seems to be in Chicago.
The Industrial situation, in view of the
general strike declara ton, can hardly be
said to have improved. yet there is an
undertone of feeling that the strike of
the Amalgamated Association will lack
popular support: that the strikers have
been outgeneraled, and that the ending
of the trouble, when it comes, will find
the employers successful.
Cereal PIECES have been rather irregu-
lar, but the main tendency has been up
ward, partly because of renewed crop
damage reports as to corn 'frosts having
already begun to be sighted by nervous
crop estimators.
Business failures number 1885, as
against 100 last week. III in this week a
year ago, 1856 in 1899 157 in 1898, and IA in

FORTUNA GOLD EXHIBITS.

Anything pertaining to the La Fortuna mines is always of interest to people hereabouts for the La Fortuna is one of Yuma county's greatest gold producers and ranks among the big mines of the territory. From a Los Angeles paper we glean the fol lowing in regard to this valuable property:
 GA few small samples of ore from the famous Fortuna mine near Yuma were received at the headquarters of the Southwest ern Miners Association yester- day. The rock was taken from the bottom of the deepest shaft in the mine, now down distance of 1900 feet. It carries free mill ing gold, and these are said to be fair samples of a large body of the same grade of ore to be found there.
 "The Fortuna is the property of the we'll known California mining man, c. D. Lane, and is said to have produced at the rate of S75, ,000 per month for the rast five years"

City of 10. 900 in a Night.

A city of 10000 people has grown up near Fort Sill, o. T., following the close of the land lottery at El Reno. The town is named Lawton and it's popula- tion is composed of the thou sands of disappointed settlers who drew blanks in the Fl Reno lottery.
 Lawton grew in a night, veri- tably, and already has 400 busi- ness firms, a newspaper and will soon have a National bank-tc say nothing of the gambling houses and saloons. Every kind of gambling known on the iron tier is being run wide open.
 The two most valuable claims in the new country adjoin Law ton, and one of these was drawn by Miss Hattie Beals, of Wich- ita, Kansas, and a value is put upon it of $40, ,0r0.

A ditch immediately upon it.

A ditch immediately upon its completion has less cOefhcient of water delivery than after it has been in use for one or more years. The loss by seepage is much greater at first. In time two results are obtained-silt works into the crevices and joint planes and stops the leakage of water through them, and the material, rock or earth, of the wet perimeter becomes saturated with water and receives less from capillary flow. A new ditch should not have it's full head turned into it at the start The turn-in should be small and grad ually increased through several weeks, or even months, to the maximum Mining and Scien- tifc Press.

Rush of HomeSeekerS.

A scene is presented i'll Okla
 homa that could be matched in no other country than the United States. A distribution of quar- ter sections of government land at almost nominal cost began yesterday and will be continued during the week until completed. Nearly one hundred and seventy thousand applicants have come forward to comply with the re- quired conditions. Only 13,O0O can be successful, but the others are familiar with the terms, and will submit with true American cheerfuIness. There is some particularly valuable land con- nected with projected townsltes, good deal of arabic land and some in the mountains whose value, unless in minerals, is slight. But every foot of it will be allotted to somebody, and he will be one of fourteen willing to take it. As a gauge of the pressure for homes in a new country this event is exceedingly interesting.

The Secretary of the Interior has ruled that in obtaining a patent for a mining claim a mill which is situated on another claim cannot be credited to the first claim as improvement to establish the $500 expenditure required by law as a condition precedent to patent, The ruling was based on the argument that @ mill, while an indirect benefit to a mining claim, yet it is of no direct benefit or aid to the actual development of the claim.

SUCCESS IS CERTAIN.
That is What Receiver Pauly Of Hedges Thinks of Desert
 ErrigatiOn.


 the Golden Cross Mining Com .pany at Hedges talked as follows to a San Diego Union reporter last week:
 Charles W. Pauly, the receiver of the Golden Cross Mining Com pany at Hedges, has great faith in the development of the desert as now going on at Imperial and in that vicinity.
 "As far as the land and water are concerned, there is no ques- ton about the proposition being a success" he said, "for the land is rich and the water supply IS inexhaustible. This last year the water in the river went as high as it ever does, with possi- bly, one or two exceptions, and the headings of the company, which are only a few hundred yards from the pumping works of the Hedges mine, stood the strain all right. This is not the permanent heading of the com pany, as I understand it, but the water will some time be taken out of the river some distance above the point at which the present gates are put in.
 'I understand that the com pany proposes soon to make the big ditch just double it's present size, and that the work on the enlargement will begin about the 1st of next September. This comes to me because when the size of the ditch is increased, the widening will to some extent in terfere with the wells, of our company, and 1 was therefore interested to find out about when the work would be commenced.
 "When the permanent heading is ill and the water leaves the Colorado river in the way pro- posed for it, the main stream will run past our pumping plant and we will probably use water from their ditch. In fact, we are pumping now from the canal wa ter which has backed up to some extent past our place. l don't know much about the water after | it leaves the river, but the head gates are all right, and the canal is running full across toward the Salton river. Of the improve ments about Imperial, 1 know only what | have heard, and that is that they are being made.
 "I know what the soil is, and understand that it will be a great place for root crops. Fruit ] think will do particularly vel about Yuma. Dates will do all right, but as far as dates go, do not believe that their cultiva ton will amount to much for some time. Alfalfa will be q great crop with water on that land, and I am inclined to the opinion that this beet sugar proposition will amount to 8 great deal in time.
 "I recently met two people from Phoenix, Ariz., who had been over toward Imperial. One of the men had made his second trip to the Imperial country, and he declared that it was by al odds a better country than the famous Salt river valley around Phoenix. In the Salt river country there is a shortage ot water each year, and the people are fearful of putting in more land, as the cultivated land al ready demands more water thar the system can furnish. Botl of the Phoenix men expect to re turn to Imperial"
 MT. Pauly will return to his duties at Hedges same time thi; week.
