New York Stock Market.

New York, Jan. 2s.-The market was
without much spirit and after a brief steadi-
ness a period Of reaction became we'll de-
fined. Speculation was professional and TO
some extent the decline was assisted by pres
sure from the bear faction. Sentiment was
largely influenced by return of weakness in
steel preferred which sold off over a point be-
cause Of rather unsatisfactory accounts of the
iron trade. There was weakness in Pennsyl-
vania and Missouri Pacific. Baltimore &
Ohio and st. Paul lost l per cent. The rail-
road list generally lost a point. The indus
trials also showed weakness. The market at
the lower level suffered some loss in activity
and while speculation now shows more steadi-
ness, the trading sentiment is somewhat un-
settled and confused. Government bonds
unchanged.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT surprised
Washington Yesterday by ordering a
troop of cavalry to meet Governor Taft,
the incoming Secretary of War, at the
railroad station and escort him to his
hotel. Military honors of this kind
have never been paid to a full-fedged
Secretary Of War, or to a President, to
say nothing of an appointee who is not
vet sworn in. Governor Taft was as
touished a the display, and so was
nearly everybody else-but this country
is rapidly drifting towards militarism.

FROM TINE to time announcement is
made OF a reduction in the wages OF
miners in the coal fields, but the price
of coal still keeps up, and there is no
apparent likelihood of a reduction. The
big strike of 1902 was given as the ex-
cuse for the tremendous increase in the
price of coal at that time. Since then
affairs at the mines have been restored
to their normal condition, but the peO-
pie are still compelled to pay strike
prices for their coal.

4 strike of TO small importance was made on Wednesday night on a nun Der of claims belonging to Messrs. Richard Mccarthy. Jack" Cowan and Charles Thayer, whose residence is a; the Lowell location. The claims are located less than 3 mile and one half from the Calumet < CCchise nroperty. and almost directly across the mountain that is being worked on the east side by the Hong hton Devel- opment company. What will develop IS a result of further exploratory work and extensive sinking will. therefore. probably be Of considerable significance to the latter company. It may also go long way towards proving that ore bodies extend in the direction of the several smaller devel- opment properties situated several niles east of the "big oues.''
 The seven claims being worked by Ness-s. Mccarthy. Cowan and Thayer embrace Grcund through which runs the contact Of lime and conglomerate. r is directly in this contact where he development on the property has been done. Ore was found on the very surface where sinking was com mence1, but in 10 great quantity, thcugh the ledge gave every appear 9nce or being permanent and leading Q rich derosit. No great distance has been reached at the sinking point, Nut nevertheless the las. blasts that were made disclose a good quantity of valuable minerslized formation carry ing iron and copper. as well as silver and gold.
 The strike may mean much or little. as the case may chance to be, hut the indications, in the opinion of The Re view representative, who yesterday morning visited and examined the ground. are favorable enough to war ant spending further time and more money in finding out definitely what lies beneath.
 The Mccarthy, Cowan and Thaver claims adjoin each other. and are seven in number. located at the head of Gold Gulch, and one and one-half miles rom the Junction property. and ahout the same distance northeast of me Calumet & Cochise. The claims were taken up more than a year ago and the work done on them was not as in most instances. simply intended 70 cover the assessment and patent
 souirenents, but to prove their value me owners are experienced mining "en. MT. Mccarthy being superintend- rent at the Junction mine, and they
 insider themselves fortunate in hay 'ng been able to acquire the property.

 The market is somewhat quiet, but coppers remain very firm. Calumet and Pittsburg declined to 8, but it can not be held back from advancing, as every share that was offered was readily taken
 Let me impress you again. Do not, under any circumstances, sell your stock in this company. You have bought it at prices which are very small in comparison with the dividends which you will eventually receive, and, if you had your money out of this stock, where in all this broad land can you find an investment which promises as much even at the present price.

An Awful Find
 By Surveyors
THIRTY DEAD BODIES OF MEN
 PERIShEO ON DESERT.
Found-Bodies Eaten by Coyotes. Less Than Third Who Try the Jcur- ney Succeed.

Las Vegas, Nev. Feb. 4-Thirt! Cead bodies of men who have perishet on the Nevada desert from thirst anC hunger have been found by Q party oi surveyors who are in advance of the new San Pedro. Los Angeles and Salt Lake railroad.
 The victims met death within thc last few weeks. according to all evi denoe ob;ainable, and the condition Of the remains when discovered.
 The men perished in attempting to cross the waste area that stretches 3 distance of eighty miles from Las Vegas to the California line.
 Many have died in trying 10 make this journey without adequate prcvis- ion of food and water, but apparently the desert has claimed more lives during the past month than ever be fore.
 Word has just been brought in from an advance party of the surveyors which tells of many gruesome finds, including the remains of four, five or half dozen men lying in proximity
 Eaten by Coyotes.
 h most instances the bodies have been party eaten by coyotes and huz- yards to such an extent as to be be yond recognition. The majority of the victims were tramps and railroad laborers, who have attempted to cross frcm the railroad camps in Nevada to the more agreeable climate of Califor- nia
 The number of those who have tried the foolhardy journey has greatly in- creascc- Less than one-third who stat across the deser ever succeed in reaching the California side alive.
 It is stated that few of the bodies found in the past few days have been brought here for interment, the condi- ton Of the rest making it imperative that they be buried on the desert where they have perished.
 The thirty bodies just reported were all found within a radius of quarter of a mile around Dead Mans We'll" the only water in the entire desert, and that delusion which lures men to death.
 Several of the bodies were abso- iutely nude, showing that the crazed men hac cast off their clothing before dropping down to die on the sage brush plains. One hundred feet from this well the surveying party came across six bodies lying a few yards a part. They had been frightfully torn and half eaten by desert beasts and birds of prey.

Ostrich Plumcs and Feathers.


 By what has gone before, the impor- tint place which ostrich feathers oc- cupy at the present writing will bs realized. It is understood that the trade is prepared to satisfy very large demand for amazons and also tor feathers of medium length and tips. High class milliners will do great deal in shaded and variegated feathers. The arrangement referred to aboye-namely. the twisting around Of the tip of the feather into q pouf- gives massive and rich effect to ap amazon, but only the very largest can be so treated. Fumes of cocks feath- CTS in natural colors, as well as dyed in different bright tints, are likely to be very much favored, possibly. how ever. white more than any. says the Millinery Trade Review. Wings con- tinue ill much request, particularly large. stump shaped wings and quits small ones, such as those Of black birds and parrakeets. and there is re- newed demand for couteaux. which are mostly asked for in pairs. They are not very long, but wide and often dyed in variegated tints, including checks and plaids. Some are colored to imi- tate leaves and broad grasses.
