lars per ton in gold, Pete has de-
cided to investigate that pyrites

ious trip ia that direction last
summer and likely will go again
this summer. The boys had bet
ter watch him if they want to be

interview him. He may indulge,
but he won't divulge. So much
for the Lost Sinker.
MYSTERY--DROWNED MAN.
In the boom days of Bonanza,
or about the latter part of the
seventies, man named Smim re-
corded a quartz claim described
as being Is miles southwest of
Bonanza. Assays showed 500
per ton, but it being already win
ter, Mr.. Swim went to Silver City
where he wintered. He came
back the following spring by way
of Ketchum with partner and a
wagon load of provisions. Swim,
in order to search out the road,
kept somewhat ahead of the
team, and arriving on the upper
Salmon at Sawtooth, he rode far
ahead to make a reconnoitrance
and, sad to relate, never return
ed. His saddle mule aud equip
ment was cast up by the swollen
Salmon river, but Swim wasseen
no more and the exact where
abouts of his mine is still mys-
terry.
THE LOST PLACERS.
There is said to be lost plac-
er near Robinson Bar, abandon
ed by discoveries, on account of
Indians, but said to be equally as
good as Robinson Bar, which
produced quarter of a million.
On Loon creek there are lost
placers from which bottles of
gold dust were displayed in Sal
mon City yearsAago by the dis
coverer on his way to Colorado
where he died without divulging
the secret. Salmon people have
searched for this placer several
seasons.
An old Chinaman of Custer
claims to know of lost rich
placer mine near Loon, found by
himself and another Celestial,
back in the earlG seventies, while
on their way from Idaho City to
Oregrande. One 1884 nugget
was secured, but between fear of
Indians and of white men, the
Acknowledged, opium eating sons
of the Orient abandoned their
find. In fact their fears were
not groundless for three of their
comrades were murdered by
white men, near Oregrande, for

Mexico. Jan. 2.-The Mexican none
tary commission has rendered a report
relative to the adoption of gold
standard. The commission recon-
mends that the government adopt a
monetary system based upon the gold
standard. tho stating that the imne-
date adoption of the gold standard
with. gold circulation is not advisable.
The commission adds:
ION the contrary, as the most ade-
quate means of bringing about re-
gime under which gold coins will con-
stitute the chief circulating medium
of the republic. 1t is advisable to adopt
for the time being system which will
keep the silver coins in circulation IN
considerable quantities. This is pos
sihle without impairing the practical
maintenance OF their parity with gold
at ratio to be adopted"
In order to bring about this state OF
affairs. the commission recommends
the closing of the minis and the pro-
hibition of the reimportation of the
Mexican dollars, thus gradually Great

=. a. Princes Grain Letter.

Chicago, Jan 2.--Wrheat--It has been
a long while since we experienced a
wheat market of similar strength o.
,hSt of today, an advance of u cents,
With most of it holding. An excftable
10 cover. tells the whole story. A de-
eided feature was the scarcity of Offer
inss whenever the market started up.
Thsre was selling on advances. when
the marke; settled. but the demand
continued good on all recessions, and
the buying KEEP; up TIL the Close. The
strength was due wholly to the war
scare There were no Liverpool cables.
but those from London came Id high
er. and foreign advices on the war
question were very serious.
Corn--The corn market was also
very strong and advanced over cent.
and was Influenced by the same condi-
tons that governed wheat. There
was d general demand. with very Ign.
offerings. Shorts covered freely. The
market was active and somewhat
nervous. The weather was unfavora-
BILE for movement.
Oats-The market started slow, but
was soon Influenced by the strength of
wheat and corn. and shows fair ad-
vance at the close. There was good
buying by some of the recent sellers.
The demand was filled by commission
houses There was no feature aside
from the lack OF offerings on the adj
vance. Receipts were small and the
shipping demand was good
