FURTHER CON lKAGlIGN NOTED
In, Dealings In Stock Market, Wednes'
day-Some Of the Features
of the Session.

New York, July 31.-There wSs
further contraction of dealings in yes
terday's stock market and decidedly
liesitating and fiuctuating tone during
the day. Professional traders were
watchful for a turn in the tide OF the
market and kept prices huctuadng
lrregularly over small range during
the greater past Of the day. There
we're no developments Of great i'm
portanee. TIE additional engage
ments Of gold had lSn fully expect
ca, and, in fact, turned out to be
rather smaller than had been feared.
There was evidence Of continued. liqui'
cation on large 7cale during the fore
noon, which WAS attributed to the
western party whose operations have
come to prove powerful influence in
directing the course Of large specu:
lative following in Wall street. The
cessation of this liquidation was fol
lowed by scattering demonstrations
az strength. The St Louis and San
Francisco securities were. very buoy
ent, which caused a revival Of ru
mors that they are to be taken in -un'
cef, the, Rsck Island plan. The semi
cficial intimations Of the plan Of al
Il tment Of the new securities does
not provide for this absorption. The
movement served. however, to Offset
to some extent the depressing effect
upon the stock market which has
teen caused by the discussion Of the
REPORTS Of the Rock Island plan. The
lise In Chicago. and Eastern illinois
and In Chicago and Alton and the
frmness Of illinois Central seemed
to be related. The abrupt rise in
NSw York Airbrake is characteristic
Of that stock and was without much
sentimental effect elsewhere. The
feyerish tone of Colorado Fuel Is at
tributed to doubts over the present
control Of the company as it will be
revealed at today's meeting Of stock
holders. There were movements In
ether stocks and other influences. The
closing was irregular. The generally
faEoTable weather reports Of yester.
Gay were helpful factors in the mar
ket.

PETROLEUM IN MEXICO.

Consul Griftiths at Matamoras re- ports to the state department that in view of the scarcity of fuel in Mexico, the exploration and exploitation of oil lands is attracting considerable atten- tion in that country. The recent dis coveries at Beaumont, Tex, have given rise to the hope that oil in paying quantities will also be found in Mexico, Very favorable indications of it's pres ence have been discovered at several places. and liberal concessions for the development of petroleum deposits on national lands have recently been granted by the federal government to prospectors.
 Almost certain indications Of the ex istence of petroleum are to be seen in many states, and especially in Tamaul- ipas. where in places there is an abua- dance of asphalt sulphur, oil on the surface Besides these signs, some of the topograpnioal features, according to the opinion of an engineer and oil prospector, are due to the great pres sure of the confined natural gas be meath In most cases, the eXudation does not consist of any one substance in paying quantity, but passes through all the grades, from an inferior, dark colored oil 10 massive hard asphaltu,a rock. There are also other equally encouraging indications Of an abun- dance of gas and oil in the shale be low
 Several companies, formed princl- pally with American capital, have been organized in order 10 prospect and drill for oil in Mexico. The Mexican Petroleum Company has invested ex- tensively and is now operating in the district west of Tampico The Mexi- can National Oil and Development Com pany recently organized under the laws of New Jersey with capital of sI GOO .000. has had it's charter filed in Mexico. The company has secured val uable leases embracing over 1,000,OG0 acres of land, and will soon begin drill ing a series of wells throughout the central part of the state of Tamaulipas. Its office is at Montrey.

 '. w. Mitchell, assayer for the
 Queen Mining company here,
 itly come into the possession of
 ID of mines in New Mexico, located .hteen miles west of Silver City. ae mines were formerly owned by some eastern parties from whom it was obtained by Mr.Mitchell. There are five claims, known as the Corea Miller group. The present develop ment work consists of five shafts sunk on the ledge to depths of from 20 to 100 feet. One tunnel has been run in on the ledge a distance of 525 feet, the ledge for the entire distance being from one to six feet wide, giving assay values all the way from s4 to sS4, gold and silver. From one place about midway of this tunnel, over 500 tons of ore has been stoped. the most of which has been piled up on lne dump MT. Mitchell says the ore will rur s25 to the ton in value. One hun dred tons of ore from this property was shipped to Fl Paso, where it brought s100 per ton. A living stream of water runs within one hundred yards of the ore dump and wood can be had for s3.00 per cord in abundance but the water could be so handled to furnish water power. MT. Mitchell, after continued effort covering years time, secured this property in April last
 It is his intention 10 incorporate a company to work the mines. A Cya hide process has been demonstrated to be the most economic way to treat the ore
