New York stook Marker.

New York, Sept. 2s.-Stocks opened
nervous and generally lower. Steel
common made a new low record. For
time at the start liquidation appeared
to be beyond Control. Stock came out
in floods and in instances sales were
made half point apart. After the first
fifteen minutes, however, covering of
shorts stayed the declineand some rallies
followed. These in some instances were
fairly we'll held, out in other cases after
temporary resistance stocks fell to lower
points than were scored in the initial
dealings. Toward the close of the first
hour Union Pacific, which has been
comparatively steady, broke over l per
cent and fresh weakness was developed
in st. Paul-Chicago & Northwestern,
Atchison, Baltimore & Ohio, Reading,
Metropolitan Securities, and Missouri
Pacific. The market remains active and
excited. New considerations formed no
factor in speculation, prices being gov
erned entirely by the necessities of liqui-
datiOn.
New York, Sept. 2S-noon.-Scenes
bordering on panic we're witnessed in
the stock exchange this morning. A
food of liquidation set in again at the
opening, and for a time seemed beyond
control. Short covering for time
stemmed the tide of selling, and rallies
followed but towards eleven o clock the
market took another downward turn.
Decentralization was especially noted in
the steel stocks and in the local fractions.
New low records were reported in the
steel common and preferred and in steel
fives. Some of the shares decline record
ed in the first hour were from l to per
cent. Industrials generally lost l and 2

Consolidated Lake superior Co.

New Haven, Conn, Sept. 28.-Judge
James Plat in the United States Cir
cult Court today appointed receiver for
the Consolidated Lake Superior Com
pany on a petition of a majority of the
stockholders of the company who were
represented in court by Judge Walter 9.
Moves, of New London Conn. With
Judge Noyes were Lawyers ROthermel
and Clement, OF Philadelphia, who rep
resent the stockholders who are taking
the action to try and save the plant from
sale at auction to cover the foreclosure
by Speyer q Co. on their loan. The re-
quest for the appointment of a receiver
points out that the company has in its
plant 500, 900, 600 and that the entire
property was pledged for loan of So
900, 600 to Speyer & Co., the brokers of
New York. The application says that
Speyer q Company have advertised the
plant for sale at auction on Thursday
next, and that the receivership is de-
sired to prevent this if possible. There
was no opposition to the application for
receiver and Judge Platt appointed
John G. Carruth, president of the Title
and Trust Company, OF Philadelphia.
1t is the expectation that the application
will be made for the appointment Of the
same receiver in New York, Pennsyl-
vania and other States where the COM
pany has property, following the form
of the action in the case Of the United
States Shipbuilding Company.

NIXON FOR MAYOR

Lewis Nixon last night announced
that he was candidate for the demo-
cratic nomination for mayor Of New
York. He made a statement in which
he said: 81 am a candidate for the
democratic nomination for mayor of the
city of New York. This statement is
made with a full knowledge of the un-
certainties of the democratic situation
| desire to make it clear that / am will
ing to stand with those democrats, how
ever small their numbers, who believe
that the democratic party of this city
should lead and not follow in the for
ward march of municipal reform.
Speaking of the municipal campaign,
Mr.. Nixon says: "The battle will be
won or lost on local issues that are old
enough to have gained "A permanent hold
ON the public mind These issues are
police 'blackmaip and that mercenary
spirit which breeds dishonesty in the
public service. To them may be charged
all the party's recent loss of local pres
tige. The democracy has not been
beaten on these issues by republican
votes alone by any means. 1t has been
beaten chiefly by democratic votes. The
democratic party of the city has all the
issues in its favor except these two. 1t
is easily within its power to throw off
their dead weight when it makes up its
mind to do so. Its right TO dominancy
will be restored as soon as it does. There
can be no doubt of the result of any
campaign in which the party explicitly
and without equivocation commits itself
to the reforms for which the city has
four times voted in ten years" Mr..
Nixon would say nothing more about his
candidacy.

Beaten to Death.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 2S.-A lynch
ing has occurred at the village of Kiastey
in the district of ChristopOski, which
the newspapers describe as resemb-
ling an American affair. 1t seems that
family of Tartars whom the Russians
dislike as whites in America do the
negroes, became obnoxious to the
villagers. The villagers tried to force
them to leave. The Tartars, whose
name was Machmond, set fire to a barn
in revenge. A crowd caught them in
the act. They beat Mrs. Machmond
until she was insensbIe and then formed
a gauntlet down the village street and
forced Machmond to run back and forth
amid blows from knouts, sticks, iron
bars, and even scythes and hatchets.
Machmond showed remarkable vitality
and hours after the affair began was still
able to crawl on his hand and knees.
Finally, however, he died from loss OF
blood. The police, who were finally
sent to stop the affair." found Machmond' 5
body mass of wounds. Both Of his
eyes had been gouged out, his ears were
gone and his tongue split. As all the

Lung Diseases of Mines.

The African Review, in discussing
miners phthisis in the Transvasl, says
that the commissioners appointed to
inquire into the subject found that the
disease is largely confined to miners
who have worked in metalliferous
mines for some time, and is more es-
pecially to be found among the rock
drill miners of the Rand mines. In
the Witwatersrand 1912 miners we're
medically examined at the instance of
the commissioners, and of these 187
were found to be affected by the dis
ease, and further SO we're looked up
on as suspected cases. The average
life-span of miners afflicted with this
terrible scourge is 30 years. The re-
port ascribes the disease to the inhal-
alton of dust, and states that it Is more
prevalent among rock drillers than
any other class of workers. 1t is es-
sential that respirators should be worn
by these men and that special stten-
ton be paid to the investigation of the
character and harmful properties of
the dust i'm the mines, mine ventila-
ton, gases given off during blasting
operations, mine sanitation, and the
conditions under which the miners
live. The disease is correctly known
as silicosis, and is a condition of chron-
ic fibrosis of the lung. The inhalation
of fine angular dust in the mine pro-
duces enormous development of the
delicate fibrous tissue in the lungs.
Thereupon bands and patches of solid
useless material gradually encroach
on the normal breathing apparatus
and interfere seriously, aud eventually
fatally, with the respiratory functions.

Business and orals.

The Western Electric company of
Chicago has given its employees some
thing to think about. Incidentally,
the company has opened a field for
discussion as to the extent to which
an employer may legitimately exercise
a censorship of the personal conduct
and habits of his employees, aside from
any question of the amount of char
acter of services performed or wages
paid. The company, which employs
about 1,50O young men, has posted the
following notice in its offices, factory
and shipping departments:
"Playing the races and all other
forms of gambling, immoral conduct,
and the excessive use of cigarettes
greatly impair ones usefulness. The
best business houses in the city do not
desire the services of those who prac
tice any of these things. Notice is
hereby given that any employe so
abusing himself is subject to dismis-
SAL
Officials of the company state that
they have been making a careful in
vestigation into the habits of their
young men and have found that the
employees who play the races have be
come careless, nervous, negligent of
their duties aud morally spotted. Ex-
cessive cigarette smoking, the manag
ers assert, clouds the intellects of the
victims and renders them unfit for the
intelligent, painstaking work demand
ed of them. The p 'sition taken by the
company is that its business demands
the services of bright-eyed, clear
Drained, honest young men, and that
this service cannot be secured from
clerks who spend their time from the
office in gambling, playing the races,
and other forms of dissipation.

American would render such restric-
ton of his personal liberties" and
promptly declare that his time is his

Low Grade Gold DEPOSITS.

1t was reported short time ago that
big deposit of low-grade gold ore
near the Colorado New Mexico line
has been sufficiently developed to show
that it was very valuable and also that
it could be treated with but little diff
ficulty.
Deposits of this kind have been
classed among the most valuable gold
mines. The great Homestske mine
in the Black Hills belongs to this class.
1t is an enormous body of ore that
runs only few dollars To the ton. The
ore is easily mined aud economically
treated. The large quantity and the
easy treatment com bine to make the
production of gold exceedingly profit.
able. A rumor is now in circulation
that an offer of 35,00O,0y0S has been
made for this property. Even if this
rumor is not true, it at least gives an
idea of the estimated value of the mine.
The great Treadwell mines in Alaska,
AlOu VI 0OlAoA ~ 6OAo
have been extracted, belong TO the
same class. While these mentioned
are among the most noted, similar de-
posits of less value have been worked
in different parts of the country. In
fact, practically all the mines in the
Rand district, South Africa, belong to
the low grade class.
The mining industry in Colorado
could ask nothing better than the
discovery of a few big deposits of low
grade gold ore susceptible of treatment
at a small cost. 1t would mean both a
large increase in the value of our gold
output and the employment of many
more men in mining, in milling aud in
transportation, to say nothing of those
who would find various occu pations in
connection with the life of a commun-
ity dependent upon the operation of
such a mine.
A few facts about the Trea6well mine
supply an interesting illustration.
This mine is situated on Douglas is
land across the channel from juneau,
and together with the Mexican and
Ready Bullion properties, operated in
connection with it, it gives employ
ment to some LOO miners. The out
put is about 5000 tons day and the
ore is crushed under $50 stamps. 1t is
estimated that the total product since
the mine was opened is at least $4,000,
COOS, which is more than the United
States paid for the whole of Alaska.
The ore ranges in value from 250S to
6S or 7S per ton and the cost of treat
ment is only 1858 per ton.-Denver
