The placing of these in succession
this week has an effect upon sentiment
in quarters where the belief is held
that the strength in the present mar
ket is fostered to a large degree by
the great financial powers who have
an interest in placing these new issues.
Railroad stocks were not greatly af-
fected by the selling and, in fact,
moved rather sluggishly all day in
either direction. But a large number
of low grade industrial stocks and spe-
cialties and some of the obscure rail-
roads suffered materially. The great
strength of Atchison was unexplained
by any news announcement, but 1t
proved an effective stay for the whole
market. United States Steel preferred

The Bremner Mining District.
sy JOHN n. VAN TpvRsTINE.


 Gold was discovered on the Bremner river bars and assnumber of its tributary gulches, by Peter Monahan, G. s. Banta and H. w. Anderson, in 1901. The bed of the Bremner pans we'll in fine gold for a number of miles. Those looking for dredg- ing places would do we'll to investigate this river. Many of the bars along the stream pan equal to five dollars per day by sluice box method, and immense deposits of gold bearing gravel on the higher benches would make profitable hydraulic ground.
 The side streams in which pay prospects were found are Little Bremner,s sMcGreal, Amy, Golconda, Summit and Standard The work done on Summit creek yielded ten dollars per day to the man, shoveling into boxes. Two men on No. took out two thousand dollars for one seasons work On Golconda the average yield is three dollars per yard for bedrock work The depth of gravel is from four to eight feet, with an average bedrock grade of forr to five per cent. A never failing supply of water, and a wide, extensive pay streak. This ground ought to pay handsomely under hydraulic mining methods.
 Wood and saw log timber can be got on the hillsides and bars of the Bremner, three miles distant.
 The distance from Tonsina via the Chit tyna and Chakina rivers is one hundred miles.

 One of the oldest industries of Alaska is that of salmon fisheries, which were estab- lished in this locality late in the eighties, and which have increased their production annually. The demand for the Alaska red salmon has increased steadily from the in fancy of the industry until now that com modity- is rated among the highest grades on the market. The Pacific Packing < Navigation Co. operates cannery at Orca, and the Alaska Packers Association at Eyak, with gross annual output of 86,OOO cases in the season of 1903, representing a market value of S395, 500 and employing about 15O white men, beside native and Asiatic labor. The resources of the fishing grounds in Prince William Sound and .ad- joining waters, is best illustrated by the fact that approximately 1,l32,OOO salmon

WILL BE DIFFICULT
 TO AVOID RUPTURE
French Officials Are Awaiting Dis closure of Contents of Note
 From the Vatican.

Paris. July 2S.-Although no definite statement is possible before the com munication before the vaticans reply to the council of ministers tomorrow, the impression prevails in official quarters that the avoidance of d rupture between I. French government and the holy see will be a matter of extreme difficulty.
 Foreign Minister Delcasse is undoubt- edly anxious to bring about friendly settlement but the Bishop of Dijons de- parture for Rome without seeking the au- thorization of the civil power places the government in a different position and seems likely to cause a deadlock and es- pecially should the Bishop of Laval follow similar course which is not considered Improbable.
 However. hopes are still entertained that the vatican's dispatch which is be- lieved to be a lengthy and complicated document may provide some loophole of escape of a rupture.
