lively that there viii be no exports OF

Although the opinion has been ex-
pressed before it was reiterated today in
well-informed banking circles that the
Rock Island Frisco deal would be re
vived and carried through within con-
paTatively short time It was not stated
definitely when this might be expected.
but it is assumed conditions in he
stock market would have to shape them
selves before it would be put through. II
may be said important conferences
have been held between Rock Island in
terests and the banking interests con-
cerned in the deal during the past few
days. The purport of these conferences
can only be guessed at, but the intima-
ton has been conveyed that they related
to the Frisco deal. The plans of the
interests dominating Rock Island will
he carried to a successful conclusion.
That is way they have.
Not since the summer of 1886 has the
street taken such lively interest in
silver as it does today but there is quite
a difference in the point of view and in
the sentiments expressed. a few months
ago, when the question Of placing the
money standard of Mexico on a stable
basis was first agitated. there we're few
beyond those directly concerned who
paid much attention TO it. Dut the re-
suits OF the campaign Of education then
begun are apparent now. and there is a
clearer appreciation of the situation
its possibilities and its effect. not only on
Mexican railroads. but in the face of
a weak market, and no artificial stEmu-
lation has been used. That has been OBJ
vious enough. because, If a pool had been
operating in the stock. with conditions so
favorable, an advance of 10 points could
have been scored In short order The
interest behind the stock are some of
the most powerful In the street. but they
are quite content to let the stock make
it's own market
Gossip has it that a certain Chi
.cagoan, who had meteoric career as a
manipulation OF wheat in the Windy City
and who has since made his headquar-
ters here, has formed pool in Balti-
more and Ohio. and intends to reap some
profits, If possible The extent Of the
pool is not definitely known, and 1t is

ABOUT MINES
AND MINERS
First and Second Hand News of
An Important Nevada
Industry

Three miners were put to work at
shaft No. 1 on the Brunswick lode yes
terday for the purpose of inspecting
the underground workings preparatory
to resuming operations.
The drill on the Brunswick is ex-
pected to reach the 9OO-foot mark to-
day. The bottom is again in a body
of solid quartz highly mineralized
and carrying streaks of sulphuret ore.
H. M. Hasbrouck, A. Mcintyre and
G. Kernick, operating northwest of
Gold mountain and six miles from
Butler, report having opened up a
ledge of quartz on the surface, in por-
phyry, carrying $50 gold, with silver
and copper.
Manager l.. l.. Patrick has begun
work on the Pinto group of fifteen
claims adjoining the Newhouse prop
erty near Butler. Four veins have
been located on the Pinto group, and
surface groupings show values in gold
end silver.
Repairs are being made to some Of
the machinery at the mines at Copper
Tot by the New York and Nevada
Copper company and as some por-
lions of the machinery have to be Sc
cuI ed from New York, a delay of per-
haps two months will be made be-
fore the machinery can be started up.
Work at the keystone plant is to be
pushed ahead as rapidly as possible,
and it is hoped to have it in position
to treat ores early in the spring.
The G. & H. tunnel property, con-
sisting of the Silver State and Occi-
dental claims is being operated by the
Tonor h-Belmont Development Com
pany and, a second payment of Soc
Coo was made on January oath. The
Drouar.y is situated on the south 81 lie
of Mt Oddie. The company also op-
crates the Del Monte, Belmont, Shoe
string and other mines, a consoiida'
tion Iyying been effected in OCTOBER
last. :. L. Oddie is interested in this
conn., any.
Work has been suspended on the
Shannon mine near Steamboat on &C
count of the freezing weather. The
mining methods pursued there under
one Mcguire, an ex-Salt Lake barber,
are peculiar. A recent arrival IRON
there says that under Maguire's direc-
lions about fifty holes have been sunk
at various places on the ground where
there are no indications whatever of
the presence of ore. 1t is well known
that ore was developed on the prop
erty twenty years g through a tun-
mel at the time when young Shannon
was killed there by his partner. Ma
guire. however, objected to reopening
the tunnel on the ground that it would
be too expensive. but has bowed In
several times the cost of that work
in sinking potato hill holes. The run
ming of a double-barreled tunnel may
be Maguire's next experiment.-Re-
port.

Unknown 10 Women.

Every woman should read, without
fail, the following paragraph. She
will learn something about herself she
never knew before.
Thompson's Barosma is not only a
wonderful kidney, liver and bladder
cure, but has a particular advantage
as remedy for Chronic Female Weak,
ness, Palpitation of the Heart, bearing
down sensations, Nervous Debility,
Leucorrhoea or Whites, and Dropsical
Swellings. It's peculiar advantage lies
in the fact that it is both female reg,
ulator and kidney, liver and bladder
cure. The womb is situated back of
and very close to the bladder. A wo'
man having any pain or distress in the
back or side at once attributes it to fe.
male weakness when many times her
trouble is entirely from the kidneys or
bladder Hence q woman making this
grave mistake will find q sure remedy
in Thompson's Barosma, for whether
she is suffering from womb disorder or
any disease of the kidneys. liver and
bladder Barosma will effect a perma-
nent cure. For this two-fold reason
Thompson's Barosma is the best wO-
mans remedy on the market. Thomp-
sons Dandelion and Mandrake Pills
should be used with the Barosma. for
the liver and constipation. They are
purely vegetable and do not grippe.

instructions. The troopers quickly dis
mounted and scaled the rail piles and
with drawn sabers overpoWered the
VirginianS.
The fight around the haystacks was
one of the exciting incidents OF the
day at Aide gap. In one of the earlier
charges the Fourth New York cavalry
faltered. It's leader, Colonel di Ces-
nol9. was under arrest at the time, Dut
seeing his men hesitate he rode TO the
front and without weapon to defend
himself led on against the barricade.
Til: charge was also in vain, but hll-
patrick saw the gallant act of ID Ces-
no!d and on his return said to MIN,
You are a brave man, and 1 release
YOU from arrest" Handing him his
own sword, he added, Wear this in
honor of the day" Later in the day ID
Cesnola led his regiment in a dash
against a stone wall barrier, which was
the Confederate stronghold in the pass
to the gap. This charge was met by
the Second Virginia cavalry, which at
tackled the New Workers in the flank
while they were batf1ed at the stone
wall. Di Cesnola was desperately
wounded and taken prisoner.
Meanwhile Pleasonton had sent Colo
mel Duffie, with the First Rhode Island
cavalry, to reach the gaps on another
road, which took him to the town OF
Middleburg. Stuart heard Of Duties
march and tried to destroy him, but
the Rhode Islanders were stubborn and
looked for help from Aldie, not know
ing that the fight was on at that point.
Stuart sent no help to his troopers at
Aide, and Fitzpatrick was also left TO
his own devices. Late in the day q
heavy column under Colonel Rosser
charged en- masse upon fitzpatrick
right flank. The regiment in advance
recoiled from RosserS blow, and the
men in gray threatened to ride down
Randors Federal battery. Fitzpatrick
ordered the guns double shOtted with
canister. and, placing himself at the
head of the First Maine cavalry, wait
ed for ROsser to ride close to the guns.
At the cry "Forward.' the Maine men
burst forth like an avalanche. ana
Rossers line recoiled. Kilpatricks
horse was killed under him, and Colo
mel Douty, the Maine leader, fell NOR,
tally wounded.
RallyinS the regiment which had
fallen back before Rosser'S Charge, Kill
patrick led it in again with the First
Maine and drove the enemy from the
hill, capturing four guns. With this
