NOT UNQUALIFIED SUCCESS
Judgment of Spectators IL that
Gates Syndicate Made Little
Money ON Corn.

CHICAGO, July 1e.-The July corn corner
was not much more than an echo today,
nothing being done In the deal so far as
the Harris Gates people were concerned.
1t developed today that the shorts are not
all in. few small ones began covering
at the opening Of the exchange and made
the opening quotations somewhat erratic
between 63h cents and So cents. Later the
price settled back to 65k cents and closed
at 65 1-8 cents.
The wisdom of the bull leaders In aban-
doning the corner two weeks in advance OF
its natural termination was shown when
the inspection sheet was posted showing
fresh receipts OF 453 cars on Chicago side
tracks. OF this total 14b cars were con-
tract grade, which the leaders would have
been obliged to take as a means Of sup
porting the July price. Otherwise It would
have been bought In the open cash market
by shorts and turned into the Harris
Gates combination in settlement OF ac-
counts. There was also III cars Of the con-
tract grade made" in the different clean
ing and drying houses. making about 60o.-
600 bushels of the contract grade from all
sources. Being out of the deal the bull
leaders were relieved Of the unpleasant
necessity OF taking caro- Of this vast guam
tity OF corn. The cash market was frmer
than the day before. though not partic-
ularly brisk. Almost everybody about the
board had a different theory to exploit as
to the winning or losses of the Gates syn
dicate. A consensus Of the best opinion.
however. was that the syndicate was nom
inally a little ahead on its deal as to the
July delivery. but stood to sustain sub
stantial loss in the marketing Of It's $780,
900 bushels OF SO OF cash corn which It had
been forced to accumulate. In view Of this
fact and the strong probabilities that this
corn cannot be prontably disposed OF the
corner as a whole Is not looked on as an

The disaster was the result of an ex-
plosion occasioned by John Burgy. a miner,
going into one of the magazines of the
Daly-west with a lighted candle. HIS act
cost him his life and the lives OF many
other miners beside. His body was blown
to atoms. All the other victims are recog-
nizable, their faces being easily identified
by relatives and friends.
Face to Face with Death.
The explosion occurred at 1920 last
night and in a twinkling deadly gas was
being generated throughout the mines. 1t
crept through every tunnel shaft and in
cline and In a very short space OF timo
scores of miners found themselves face to
face with death.
II is not known how much powder was
exploded but whatever amount there was
1t went of in a terrible concussion. The
shock was something terrific and was
heard for long distance. although II was
nearly 2 o'clock before IL was known in
Park City, a distance Of three miles.
When 1t is stated that horse was killed
at the mouth Of the Ontario tunnel two
miles away. some idea Of the force OF the
explosion may be had. The animal was In
use at the entrance to this part of the
mine and was hurled against the wall and
machinery with such violence rs to be
killed outright Two other horses were
also killed, the, latter In the Ontario. nj,
most as great a distance away That the
loss Of life is not far greater than It !s
seems marvellous. The work OF rescuing
the imperilled and dead was quickly and
heroically undertaken. Men were brought
to the surface just as fast as the disabled
machinery would permit. The victims had
to be brought up the shaft in one-com-
partment cage, one of the compartments
having been wrecked by the explosion.
In the Ontario. which is connected with
the DAILY West, six men are dead. Two of
the dead are rescuers, John Mclaughlin
and John Eckstrom. The body Of the lat
ter is still in the mine.

be remembered that IL is not the United

Good Progress Made During Last
Week Gathering Staple.
Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, Sept. 22.-GoOd progress
has been made with the picking of
the cotton crop in Mississippi during
the past week, and the staple is
being rushed to market almost as fast
as it can be ginned.
In contrast to former years, there
is no disposition among the plan
ters TO hold back the crop in
anticipation of higher prices. Some
of the large planters, especially in
the delta, will of course market their
crop slowly, but the average farmer
is getting rid of the product imme-
diately after it is placed IN marketa-
BILE shape, and they are apparently
satisfied with the prices being secur-
ed.
The labor famine continues in
many sections of the state, and fancy
wages are being offered for good
pickers. In one delta county Ital-
| ians are being imported to pick the
crop, but their services are not very
satisfactory on account of unfa-
| miliarity with the work.
The bulk of the crop will be out of
the fields before Christmas, ana IN
many counties the entire crop will be
picked by the latter part of Novem-
Der.

Jackson, Sept. 22.-Each week the
country press brings in reports of
murders and assassinations in out
of-the way places which have escap-
ed notice in the press dispatches.
The story has just reached here of
an assination in Pike county near
the Antioch church. John M. Rogan,
farmer, was going home from the
church, accompanied by his brother
Sam Rogan and Bill Dean, when a
gun was discharged from ambush
and John ROgan fell to the roadside
mortally wounded. A man named
Hugh Forbes was suspected of the
crime, having had previous diff
Guilty with ROgan, and he was placed
under arrest, but denied all knowl-
edge of the affair. Afterwards he
made his escape and has not since
been captured. Craps and blind
tigers are thought to be the chief
factors in the killing.
In crap game a short distance

Vaulden Jesse was killed by Tom
Jenkins, and the latter has been
lodged in Jail to await trial at the
