as a great letter from not only New town, in which we are most interested. but many other Connecticut towns, and with the way Uncle Sam hustles the mail across the continent, and knowing that we are in touch with NewtOwn by wire for about a dollar, perhaps little over, we have not been so far from home, as we would have been if among the 'forty-niners." l mail you copy of Building Edition of Redlands Daily Facts, and whatever information it contains about building etc., think is correct, as we have seen in the past six months that the place is hustling, and the good rains we are having, with lively Board of Trade, keep it on the boom. It is a no-license town through and through, and home for the tourist, though tourist needs ''the dough" here as anywhere. We are not tourists ex- actly. More like an editor, you know. They feed us. May be to keep us quiet? You ought to know.

THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS,

While business on the Stock Exchange yester-
day a fairly liberal scale, there was no
particular tendency in the course OF prices. Gen
orally speaking. there firmness in the early
trading and weakness in the late trading. The
closing was irregular. Some stocks were up
while others were down with no changes of par
ticular Importance or significance 1t was
drifting market. The disposition OF spectators.
as a rule, seemed TO be to await developments
before committing themselves 10 prCtracted
ventures in the market. There is more or less
uncertainty about some of the chief factors in
the situation including the state Of money, the
movement of gold and the prospect for the new
crops There are other elements, not the least
Of which is the condition of the London stock
market which is in very close touch with the
New-York market. The London market is I'M
settled, and has assumed a rather serious phase
in consequence Of interference with the extern
sive operations in the Kaff1r stocks by the Brit
fish military reverse in South Africa.
Money has hardened materially. Not only
have rates risen, but offerings are lighter Not
few loans have been called and II is expected
that more will have to be called during the
week 10 enable the banks 10 keep their reserves
up to legal requirements. The Tightening of
money has stopped the outgo of gold TO Europe.
but there has been one transfer of gold TO San
Francisco. and it may be followed by others. II
had been SAID that the combination Of the street
railways in San Francisco. which is TO be
financed in New York, would be effected by
shifting Of credits merely, but it turns out
otherwise. In transferring gold from New-York
10 San Francisco, actual shipment Of the
metal is made. The gold is deposited in the
sub-Treasury in NewYork and an order is is
sued 10 the Sub-Treasury in San Francisco 10

Sub-Treasury in New-York, however takes
money out Of the money market here just the
same if the gold had been sent across the

drawn on credits abroad.

Terminal Transfer stocks were bought, it
said, for a pool. The publication OF the Mis-

which the of about eighty cotton oil
mills ginneries and fertilizer companies and also
the owner of the Wesson process of deodorlZing
and clarifying cotton oil. The cotton oil business
has been highly profitable. There has also beer a
large profit from by-products in connection with
the oil business. Although the Virginia-Caro-
lima Chemical Company has received the benefit of
the Southern Cotton Oil Company for only three
months. the earnings have shown a heavy increase,
that by the end Of this fiscal year June 10 1902.
it is expected that at least 50 600 900 net will have
been earned-equal TO about per cent on the
common stock. The demand for fertilizers has also
been greatly stimulated by the advance in the price
of cotton, thereby nsuring larger output of fer
tilzers and correspondingly larger profit for the
Virginia Carolina company.
AMALGAMATED COPPER.-Of1cers OF the
Amalgamated Copper Company say its new smelter
at Butte. Mont, which is the largest in the world
is rapidly attaining its full capacity, and that by
at the rate of about 100000 pounds month
pany is now being actively worked. The Amalga-
mated interests are reported not being in sym
pathy with the action of the New-York Metal Ex-
change in adopting the London of contract
for trading in C. NJ b coppers and all varieties
of American copper. They say this action will tend
to increase speculation in copper. which they do
not regard beneficial the general trade.
PACIFIC MAIL.-It is expected that the terms Of
the traffic contract between the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company and the Panama Railroad
Company will have been agreed upon and that
an official announcement will be made within few
days. 1t is said that the contract may ena-
Bile the Pacific Mail Steamship Company TO earn
dividends.

A LITTLE RAILROAD TALK.
A. B. HOTCHKISS, FOR MANY YEARS AN ATTORNEY FOR THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC, TALKS LITTLE IN HIS PUBLIC ECON
 OMY MONTHLY

cilities just as quick as the connection can be made
 A railroad to connect Imperial with the Southern Pacific at some point about Flowing Wells will be built and in operation before the year closes, and the connection through to San Diego via the San Diego and Eastern will be made within two years. It will be the outlet for Harrimans "Short Line" Oregon-Salt Lake extension, which, he says, is to be built through to a harbor on the Pacific Coast in Southern California, with harbor fa- cilities; that means San Diego. It is morally certain that Hartman in- tends to make this a north and south Pacific Coast line extending up through Idaho via the Thunder Noun tain mining country to British Col umbia, tapping Jim Hills territory on the way. The navigation of the Colo rado below Yuma to tidewater at the head of the Gulf of California, will be made available for commerce.; the levees on the east bank of the river will be made solid so as to protect the Algodones lands from the floods, and Yuma will be made great point of both commerce and production. The school authorities and supervis- ors of San Diego County acted wisely in wiping out those hundred mile shoe-string" school districts which have been used to draw blood from the Southern Pacific railroad for so many years, and putting the railroad mileage into four districts contiguous to the districts. Good schoolhouses and facilities are sure to follow this sensible and just action, and the rapid settlement of the section will be thus promoted.
Imperial press and farmer., 1902-05-24

is the movement on the~part of sev- eral roads toward the southwestern coast, and that of the people of San Diego, in making the survey for Lneir road, the San Diego and Eastern. Naturally, if any other road passed south of the sand hills it will have the first choice of the ground, and the Southern Pacific does not propose to let another road have that desirable first notice. If the Rock Island or any other road intends to build into San Diego from Yuma it will find that the Southern Pacific's new line is about seventy-five miles nearer that city than Yuma. This is also, therefore, a strategic move against coming rivals, and possibly against the Santa Fe, whose exclusive territory it will invade by entering that city.
 Still another point is the fact that the half-million acres being placed un- der irrigation in the Imperial country will become a rich region for any road to traverse, while the Southern Pacific by making the change, can get rid of fifty miles of irreclaimable desert and substitute for it at least an equal distance through rich pros pective farming country.
 This move would place Imperial on the main line of the Southern Pacific between Los Angeles and Yuma, and would make a trip east or west bound on the Sunset line much more endur- able than at present during the sum- mer season.

Whale Found in Colorado Desert.

A dispatch from Tucson to the Yuma Sentinel dated April 29, gives the following account of the finding of the remains of whale in a sec tion of country where whales have not fourished for many years past. Fol lowing is the story:
 Tn the museum at the University of Arizona there has just been placed the skeleton of a very large whale found on the desert south of Yuma. The find has excited much attention from scientists and aroused conten- tion over the manner in which the big fish came so far inland. It has been claimed, and is doubtless fact, that virtually all of southwestern Arizona and southeastern California was once covered by the ocean, and some scien- lists declare that the whale was left high and dry when the waters receded from that region. It is more likely, however, that the big fish ventured into the Gulf of California and was washed by a flood upon the higher land.
 Other finds of value, from a scienti- fc standpoint, have been made in the same region. In the university museum are the tusks and lower jaw of an elephant which were found on the Colorado Desert. The size of the tusks and jaw proves that the animal was of larger proportions than the elephant of today.

More Desert Schools Wanted.

The Cotton News thus states the situation:
 The people living on the Colorado River in the desert section of River side county are demanding school facilities. Superintendent Hyatt few days ago received letter from w. H. Post of Hedges Ranch who said a new school district is wanted in that section; but no districts can be organi- zed except from December 1 to April 1, so the request could not be granted now Three districts were organized the past year on the Colorado Desert, and the school census indicates that the population in each is rapidly growing.
