III. Sullivan and W. S. Abrams located
a mining claim short distance east
of McConnico, from which they took
samples that gave result of IS. O6 and
sl4.6 60 to the ton. Thursday they went
back and located five hundred feet
more ON the same vein and took an
average sample of the vein, which they
are having tested. The vein is more
than eight feet wide and one of the
best looking properties in the new
field. They will put men to work on
the mine at once. This find has
created almost as much excitement as

tions in the main hall. The north
west corner of the hall, where the host
and hostess received the guests and
presented them to their guests of
honor, was tastefully furnished with
-divans and chairs, which with the
beautiful rugs on the floor gave it the
appearance of a drawing room. Miss
Helen Meaney, sister of Mrs. Murphy,

of the latter, who have been visiting
for some time at the Murphy resi-
dence, also appeared as guests of hon

and pleasant functions which have
been given in Prescott for many
months.

Among the steady producing mines
in this section is the Henrietta prop
erty, which is owned and operated by
the BraganZa Gold Mining company.
While very little newspaper talk is in
dulged in or allowed by this company
the fact cannot be denied that the
property is making fine record and
stands very high in the regard of min
ing men in this section. The talk
that this company believes in is pro-
ducing gold bars, and in this kind of
talk they indulge in to quite an eX-
tent. These bars varying in value
from $4,000 to 5000 are brought in
from the mill every few days, the last
one to come in having been brought
in Saturday afternoon by Superin-
tendent P. A. Johns, and is worth in
the neighborhood of 5000. Mr.. Johns
informs the Journal Miner that the
20-stamp mill continues to pound
away day and night and that force
of about 80 men is employed steadily
at the property. A 30-horse power
boiler has just been installed at the
pumping plant on Big Bug creek, a
few hundred feet from the mill. There
has been an abundance of water in
the creek all season and nothing has
in the least interfered with the opera
ton of the property, and they have
made splendid showing in the devel-
opment of the mine and the produc-
tion of precious metal, having been
able to pay a two per cent dividend
each month while at the same time
continuing the work of opening up
the property. The labor troubles that
have been causing some difficulty in
this section, have not effected this
company in the Least. as they have
gone right along since the new law
went into force just the same as be

Run mine on Groom creek, which has
recently been purchased by Douglas,
Lacey Co. The grading has been
finished and everything is now ready
to begin the work as soon as the draw
ings are ready. The pumps have been
started in the Iron King Extension
mine, also being operated by the same
company and the drift has been driven
several more feet into the Iron King
ledge which was struck several weeks
ago, but on which work had to be
abandoned till the pumps could be
placed in position, on account of the
heavy flow of water which came into
the drift when the ledge was struck.
The ore still holds out and the COM
pany is naturally quite elated over the
future outlook for the property.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings il All
the Leading StocLA

New York, Oct. 19.-Clouds of appre-
hension gathered over the stock mar
ket again. today, and the prices of prac-
tlcally all of the prominent active
stocks were impaired from two to four
points before the selling was checked.
The appointment of receivers for two
Baltimore trust companies was the i'm
polling cause of the selling. Weakness
was in evidence from the opening How
far the Baltimore troubles We're direct
ly responsible for the forcing of stocks
was not very clear. but the special
weakness of some of the Southern rail-
road stocks indicated selling from that
quarter. The sentimental effect of the
failure was also strong and put q STOP
entirely to the hopes of better prices
aroused by last weeks sharp rally in
the stock market.
The leading railroad stocks suffered
fully as severely as the industrials, ,ta
is shown by the declines of to 31a

Electric and Westinghouse Electric, the

surfing statements We're published as
to the limited field of the Baltimore
troubles, but these did not much avail
to cheer the sentiment in the stock
market. There was a midday pause in
the decline after the completion of the
London selling But the announcement
of the second Baltimore failure caused
renewal of the decline with increased
violence and the closing was heavy and
only slightly above the lowest.
The bond market yielded in sympathy
with stocks of some early resistance.
