Big Mining Company and the
Tragedy it Recalls.
Board Of Pharmacy Commissioners
Examined Candidates Yesterday.
Farmers Institutes Now in Progress in
Washington County.

The certificate of the incorporation
OF the Cerro de Pasco Tunnel and Min
ing Co. has been approved by the at
torney-general and recorded at the
Office of the secretary of State. The
company was organized a few days
ago at the law Office of Williamson &
Burleigh in this city. 1t is incor-
porated at S12.0O0,O00 for the purpose
of mining in Peru or elsewhere. ]. 3.
Haggin and Fl. NICK. Twombly of New
finance and of mining, are backing the
enterprise.
The story goes that the Cerro de
Pasco mines in Peru, known for CEN
turies for their richness in silver, have
turned out to contain the biggest cop
per deposits in the world. A tragedy
is connected with the discovery. A
mining engineer named William Van
Slooten shot himself in Brooklyn, last
winter. because he was c-azed by the
great discovery he had made.
Men have perished in the effort to
get wealth from the mountain fastness
of Cerro de Pasco ever since the
Spaniards wrested it from the Incas,
but none with more bitterness than the
New York engineer who, according to
affidavits filed in court by his widow,
carried on the negotiations which will
result in the development of the dis
trict along the liberal Iines character
istic of New York capitali!ts.
Mr.. Van Slooten, according to the
widow. brought the Cerro de Pasco
mines to the attention of James B.
II Il I'll
April of last year they sert him to
Peru to investigate and rDort on the
property. He found that tie presence
of copper in large quantitis had been
known for years, but that he greenisn
ore had been cast aside as Ing as Peru
remained on a free Going basis.
There was no doubt about tie value of
the property if transportation to the
sea coast could be provided.
In the interests of New 1ork COM
pany, which was formed lat winter,
between two and three hunded claims
were purchased. Negotiatios We're
opened with Ernest Thorndke for q
railroad concession which he had Sc
cured from the Peruvian goernment

nous Aroya Railroad, which would tap

 NEW ORLEANS, June 20.-Lverpool ad- vices not encouraging. therefore our market opened @3 points lower. subsequently declined 6a9 on good rains in Louisiana and Mississippi and predictions for showers in Eastern and Western Texas tonight Satur- day. The visible supply issued in the after noon was construed bullishly and occasioned improvement of 4a5 points from the bot tom Realizing near the close however again caused easiness making the net loss on the day 9Gl2 points. The 30 leading interior towns received e.4oo during the week against 32 900 last year and 4.6o0 year before last. These towns hold in stock 80. ooo against 2ee 900 last year ani I2i.o 900 year before, last. The total stock of American ashore and afoat to Liverpool is 7ee, ooo against 63 900 last year and 4l2,ooo year before last The visible supply of American during the week decreased l07,000. against 9 900 last year and i22.ooo year before last. the aggregate to date being I,75l ooo against ,S65, 900 last year and 1890 900 year before last. The drought which existed in Louisiana has been broken, leaving Texas the only State in the cotton belt needing rain Judging from the official pred ction showers should occur there either tonight Saturday. Nevertheless it is anticipated that rains will take place fin Texas shortly. still If there is a continuance of high temperature and absence of moisture, there for several days. 1t will in all probability cause reaction.

s lby special Leased WTe.I
 NEW ORLEANS, June 2o-As usual. Liver pool went exactly contrary to expectations and closed half a point lower in the face of our advance of yesterday. Cables say rains and promises of rains checked the first tendency to follow our advance. Spot sales were ten thousand at firm prices. The rain area seems gradually working westward and Mississippi was favored with excellent showers today Scattered showers are reported also from Louisiana and Texas, but are by no means general or numerous. Still the Weather Bureau holds out the hope that more of them will be the rule tomorrow and there is a genreai belief that the end of the drought is not far of. The frequent fluctuations have encouraged liberal scaiping operations by the professional element and small profits have been quickly taken. This disposition is likely to continue until the rains shall have covered the whole belt. Trading in July meantime has dwindled to minute proportions and notice day is looked forward to with only half-hearted interest. because the public is very out of that month. The visible supply figures prove that spinners have been taking cotton more literally. the decrease for tho week be- ing l56, 900. against 97,oo0 last year. Sup plies of American show loss of Io7. 900, against 90, 900 and there is nothing to indicate that mills are resorting to short time to extent The recent decline insures fairly full consumption for the remainder of the season and small surplus to carry over into the new crop year,
