Special Correspondence.
Kansas City, Mo, Monday, Nov. a. 1895.
Total cattle receipts last week were 3d.
900 head, a decrease Of 5000 from the pre-
ylous week. and Indications today are that
this weeks run will show even larger
decrease. The market was strong all week,
closing with It net gain Of 10 to Is cents
on all kinds Supply from the range coun-
try was liberal and found ready buyers
at all times supply today is ll.O00 head.
a drop Of 1000 from last Monday, and the
shortage Is mainly range cattle. Market
on fed steers IS steady to day, top 5.2i,
cows are 10 cents higher, stockers and
feeders have seen the low time this year.
Fat cattle piices are strong. which, OF
course has Its Influence on country grades
especially at this season. Range steers sell
at Bis TO 3,lj mainly with bulk Of sales
at S.S to $50. cows at 200 to 2.S mainly,
heavy Colorados up to 3.2j bulk OF the
panhandes at 2Sj 10 $50. few bulls at
zoo to 20, Yeals around $50. heavy calves
$50 to AS. Cattle receipts have been UNI
precedented for the last four months, but
only a normal number have been taken to
the country, practically the entire surplus
going into the bands Of the packers. This
would indicate phenomenal demand for
dressed meats, and protends an encouras-
ing future for cattle raisers
MuttOns receipts have DR. pped off sharp
~ only 1900 last week and prices are
strong accordingly. quite a number OF
feeding lambs were included last week,
which sold strong ut 5.2j TO $40. Packers
bought the fat stun willingly at an adj
vance Of 10 to % cents for the week, and
the small supply OF 1903 head today Is be
ing taken at "A still further advance of 10
TO Is cents. Market Is not fully tested to-
day, but fed yearlings sold at 5.6j to 5.Sj,
quite little higher than any recent sale

P|OCHE-NEVADA
DEVELOPMENTS.
Trial Shipment Reaches Sampler
And Averages on Controls,
Below $40 per Ton.
A MOUNTAIN OF FLUXiNG ORE.
VIII Develop Mine Fully and Prepare
For Heavy Shipments During
The Coming Year,

The long expected trial shipment
from the Pioche-Neyada Consolidated
of Phoebe. Nevada, has reached the
city II came In two lots, ilrst and
second class, the car containing about
tons The first grade assayed on con-
trolls ,0l OUNCES gold, 27.5O ounces silver
and SOL per cent lead with .OS per cent
copper. about a $50 ore. The second
grade which was the tailings left over
from the mass when the first grade
was sorted from IT, ran go ounces
silver and 1873 per cent lead.
When seen last evening Manager
Cornish said that while the ore shipped
was nn average Of the mine he did
not think 1t would pay the company
TO continue shipments mt the present
time. The shipment would leave fair
profit after all expenses were paid yet
the profit was not large enough to war
rant the continuous ana shipping OF
ore at the present time seeing that =
railroad to Phoebe is sure IN the very
near future. His plan now is to de-
velop the ore bodies at the property
ANA prepare for shipments when the
ter Of the big Utah-Neyada company
was placed in commission.
The shipment demonstrated one
thing beyond the shadow Of q doubt,
and that is that the average ore bodies
at the mine will run near to $50 In
metals. The ore Is OF nuxng char
acter and Is much needed at the smell
tiers.
I'VE have a mountain Of this kind
OF ore said Mr.. Cornish. and we
can mine 1t for so cents per ton. ] do
not see the use Of denudng the mine OF
its high grades and paying out high
rates for teamlng to the railroad when
by waiting a little time It can be
handled at handsome profit"
Work Is now progressing IN OPEN
ing up the ore shute on the i75 foot
level, y force Of men will be kept at
work during the winter and no farther
shipments made until next spring.

ment 10 American Colonists in
Isle OF Pines.

Washington, Nov. Baldwin V. Nor
gan, relieved from his post as Ameri-
can minister Of Seoul, Korea, by rea-
son Of the establishment OF Japanese
protectorate there, has been appointed
American minister to Havana, to sue
coed Herbert G. squiers, whose resig-
nation has been received and accepted.
Messrs. Morgan and Squiers were both
appointed to the diplomatic service
from New York, but Mr. squiers was
born IN Canada.
For long time past the relations
between Mr.. Squiers and the Cuban
government have not been thoroughly
satisfactory to the state department,
which regards II as essential to the
conduct of business between the two
governments that their respective min
listers shall be thoroughly acceptable
at their posts. II is said that In inter-
Views IN the Havana Telegraph and a
leading New York newspaper the min
lster afforded much encouragement to
the American colonists ON the Isle of
Pines and Americans at home who had
property on the isle.
The administration all along had
been advising these people to submit
themselves 10 the Cuban government,
as shown in Secy. Roots letter TO Mr..
Maynard. published this morning.
Mr.. Squers was appointed second
secretary of the American embassy at
Berlin In 1894; remained there three
years and became first secretary of le-
cation at Pekin in 1898, He was in
ka 81 ha
famous Boxer siege of 1900, and was
one OF the most prominent figures in
that remarkable historical event Hav-
ing q military training he was prac-
tlcally put In command OF one OF the
most difficult features of the defense,
and It was owing In no small part to his
energy and tactical ability that the le-
gationers successfully listed the
siege. Mr.. squiers was appointed min
lister to Cuba May 20, 1902.
Edwin " Morgan, the new minister
TO Havana, was appointed secretary
to the United States commission to the
Samoan Islands In 1893, and participated
In the formulation Of important agree
ments, under which was effected the
dissolution OF the tripartite government
OF Samoa and the division of the is
lands on the present basis He was
appointed secretary OF legation at Seoul,
Korea, and also vice and deputy con-
sul-general there IN 1900. In the fol-
lowing year he went to ST. Petersburg
as second secretary to the American
embassy at st. Petersburg, and when
the first secretary, Mr. Pierce, came TO
Washington as third assistant secre-
tary of state Mr.. Morgan accompanied
him as his confidential clerk.
He was appointed consul at Dalny in
January, 1904. but was prevented by
the war from proceeding to his post
and IN March. 1905 was made minister
TO Korea, a position when he vacates
owing TO the assumption of Japan OF
complete charge of the external rela-
tions Of Korea.
