SENSATIONAL STRIKE.
Goldfield Produces Another Wonder
fully Rich Mine.

One more sensation occurred this
week in GCldfieid's cataory OF strikes
When Rube Ryder, a hard working
miner scooped up the loose dirt and
dust of the road where it crosses the
velvet lode few days ago, but little
dreamed that within three days he
would be counted rich man, possess
a bank account of several thousa I'D
dollars and reasonable chance 10
make 100000 more within. a years
time He horned. the dust as stated
and found that 1t would run $50 per
ton. He exam med the float and crop
pings and found the same to carry
values in free gold SO great that the
Breyfogle story itself became COM
mOnplace and the sensational pam
nings of the great Jumbo are eclipsed.
Then RUDE kept his secret hidden deep
down in his breast and straight way
hied himself to the office of Claude M
Smith, to apply for lease on a
block of the Velvet claim The lease
was Immediately granted. The next
move M Ryder made was to tell his
friends, or two of them at least, to ap

heads with practically all the sub.

not specifically pledging the gov
ernment to carry out the various
reforms in their entirety as de-
manded by the memorial, promises
that each shall be referred to the
Council Of Ministers, with orders
to report promptly on the fullest
measures of relief which can be
accorded on the various subjects.
One question not touched by the
ukase is that of the constitutional
assembly. Neither is the Jewish
religion specifically mentioned,
though freedom for all creeds or
sects whether Christian or other
wise is among the subjects which
will be dealt with.
The various subjects will be re-
ferred to committees for early

BOY KILLS BROTHER.
A Deplorable Accident in Gibson
County.

Martin, Tenn, Dec. 26.--Late
Saturday evening Lee Crittendon,
wife and three children, living a few
miles east of Martin, started to
walk to a nearby neighbours. The
three boys brought up the rear,
playing with a double -barreled
shotgun, tearing out the contents
of torpedoes and popping them on
the gun. Floyd, the 14-year-old
boy, had the gun, and was given a
torpedo cap and told to shoot
John. He playfully pointed the
gun at John and pulled the trigger,
expecting the gun to fire the cap
only, when it was discharged, the
contents hitting the boy in the
body, many of the shot going en-
tirely through him, he being so
close to the muzzle OF the gun. He
breathed about FIVE times and ex-
pired. He was only 10 years OF
age. AL the last report Floyd is
reported to be in critical condi-
ton, and fears are entertained that
he will lose his mind.

THE cZAR's UKAsE.

THE GEARS UKASE.
The Cars reform ukase, con-
cerning which there has been long
expectancy attended with much
uncertainty as to its possible con
tents, has at last been made pub
lie. 1t manifests genuine reform
spirit, although it still leaves inde-
finite the extent of the reforms to
be accomplished. The ukase does
not touch the question of a repre-
sentative national assembly and
makes no specific promise of toll
erance for the Jews. These are
the two most essential features of
needed Russian reform, most
needed to place the empire abreast
of modern civilization, and the
silence of the ukase on such i'm
portant subjects arouses a suspi-
cion that the reform is not to be
so thorough rs the necessities of
the Russian situation require.
Still, the ukase demonstrates an
unusual liberal tendency. There
is distinct promise that each of
the reforms asked in the memorial
of the congress of the Zemstvos
Presidents shall be referred to the
council of ministers with orders to
report promptly, and although no
specific mention is made of the
Jews, freedom for all creeds or
sects, whether Christian or other
wise, is among the subjects to be
considered.
1t marks a great advance in the
affairs of Russia that such a ukase
should have been issued. Coming
so soon after the Zemstvos memo
rial and the popular outbreaks in
favor of more liberal government,
it is significant and affords sub
stantial reason to believe that the
end of Russian despotism is near
at hand. Ten years ago the meet
ing of the Zemstvos Presidents
would not have been permitted,
and the signing Of the memorial
that has received the Cars re.
spectful attention would have
placed each signer in jeopardy of
a Siberian prison. The leayen of
popular liberty is manifestly work
ing in Russia, and with the pro-
gress which the events of the past
few months have indicated the
autocracy is likely to give place at
no distant time to some form of
constitutional government.
The Russian people are not pre-
pared for that degree of self.gov-
that exists in the United
States, France or Great Britain.
A democracy would be little less
than a calamity if thrust suddenly
On a people so backward in civili-
zation and with no experience in
'elf-rule. But reforms may 90
far in Russia without reaching this
extreme. This is evidenced by the
TACT that religious freedom, the
liberty of the press and a full legal
rial for all accused persons are
among the reforms considered in
he Czar's ukase. Russia is sever
Il centuries behind the Anglo
saxon people in the matter of free
government and popular rights,
md much can be done there in the
way of reform without reaching
he danger point of too much lib ;
,rty for people unprepared for
is exercise.

feeling sure that the country will emerge

Business in Bonds.

Banks and bond houses agree that
very large aggregate business is being
done in bonds, and that securities Of that
kind are rapidly going into the strong
boxes of investors. The supply Of the So
called "glt edged variety has become
very small and investors are obliged to
accept the newer issues, many of which
are quite as good as those of more es-
tablished rating and sell at lower prices
merely because they are not so we'll
known to the public. There arc many
issues of safe bonds obtainable at from
s. to S5 In a majority of Instances these
are certain to work up towards par with
in the next year or two and they are
really more attractive for investors than
anything else in sight. They pay from
c to SIC per cent at current quotations
and are really better than almost any
thing to be had in the shape of standard
stocks.
A majority of the so-called collateral
trust bonds are In this class and they are
meeting with increased favor as their real
value Is looked into and passed upon by
competent Judges. Banking houses of the
highest rating are fathering these issues
and give them the benefit OF their I'M
qualified, endorsement. A notable fact In
this connection is that the banking in
situations making speciality of the better
grade of collateral trust bonds are those
which kept aloof entirely from the fn-
rore of promotion and Indicating which
involved concerns Of greater prominence
In the financial world. AS a result, their
endorsement and friendship now goes
much farther than The promotion houses.
They stand better Mt home and abroad
and are reaping the benefit of their con-
servatism.
