HoyeHToN DEVELOPMENT

The Bisbee Review reports the prospects of striking ore at the Hough- ton Development property improving. The tunnel is now in about 1700feet. it says, and has depth of about GOO feet. For some time the work has been ia exceedingly hard ground Late ly the ground has softened some, and is continuing to grow better each day. Iron has been entered of very pronis- ing character. A trace of copper is present in the iron.
 The tunnel has been expected to find an ore body between 1700 and 1900 feet in. Lately there has been some doubt as to whether the tunnel was driving in the direction that it might go to best advantage to catch it's ore, and to determise this question some surface prospecting has recent Iy been started. This is expected to show the dip of the veins at the sur face and tell whether or not change in the course of the tunnel is advisa- ble. Some time ago a drill hole was started at the surface for this same purpose. The drill, however, was too light for the work, and was put aside. Another drill was ordered. but has not yet reached the ground. IL is expect cd daily. When it comes the inten- ton is to put it at work on the sur face to sink to the level of the tunnel . and below.
 There is increasing confidence at the Houghton that ore will be brought in by the tunnel. but it is not at hand further than that which was got when the tunnel was in about 1.4o9 feet, and which is not present fin paying quan tity Should the improvement in the ground that has been noted lately keep up. ore may be brought in within the next month in quantity that vii assure the success of the property and give pleasure to all who have kept track of the gritty way in whick the company has kept at it's work Marquette Mining Journal.

 Chicago. April 10.-The cash mar ket for wheat in Minneapolis is very unsatisfactory. The southwest cash markets are dull and lower, large re. |ceipts having taken the edge off of the demand Barring a little show ot strength at the opening, the market showed downward tendency through out the session, developing into fair sized selling movement just before the close, on which new record was made for the deferred futures. The continued fine weather and heaviness of May options undoubtedly were large ly responsible for this dragging tend ency as was also snow. Crop report for April, which makes the condition for winter wheat 90 against sol year ago, and s in this report last Decem- Der. The deferred futures have had a long continued decline. with scarce ly any rally. Iii view of this fact, We stiIl feel it is the part of wisdom to use caution in forcing the short side after such a severe drain.
 Corn-The dragging tendency of wheat undoubtedly held corn in check. The feeling prevails that with the opening of navigation local stock will decrease rapidly. Farmers are talk. ing advantage of splendid weather conditions, and do not seem inclined to become shippers ct this time. The smaller receipts we feel would stimu fate the cash demand and bring higher prices in the speculative market. Oats-The cash markets show no i'm provement, being just as discUuragine as ever. We continue to feel with continued fine weather and slow cash demand the bulls will find it difficult to maintain present or higher prices.
 Provisions-We see no tendency tc this market. It still looks to us as If the packers were content with the lpresent conditions.

There are few diseases that inflict more torture than rheumatism and there is probably no disease for which such a varied and useless lot of rene dies have been suggested. To say that it can be cured is. therefore, a bold statement to make, but Chamber aims Pain Balm, which enjoys an ex tensive sale, has met with great sue cess in the treatment>of this disease One application of Pain Balm will re llieye the pain. and hundreds cf ss..,f ferers have testified to permanent cures by it's use Why suffer when Pain Balm affords such quick reliel and costs but a trifle?

 New York, April 10.-The marke, is closing somewhat irregular and nery- Ious. Through most of the session stocks showed an unmistakable ten ldency to advance. but late ip the af- lternoon assumed a very irregular ap- pearance. with a sharp reaction at lthe close, showing. however, some inl- Iprovement from the low point. The steady advance in Union Pacific help ed sentiment and gave a substantial tone to the railroad group. The inde- ipendent steel stocks continued to show profit taking. with the U. s. Go. hold ling remarkably well. R. R. equip ment shares generally showed good form. The sharp break in U. F., which carried the price off two points. unsettled the entire market. Various rumors were distributed to account for the sudden decline. Undoubtedly lproht-taking contributed much. leav- ing the close nervous and irregular. Tota, sales, 1,323,S00.

.SANTO DOMINGO
EVOLVING PLAN
Propose to Install Foreigners in
Custom Houses
DISCUSSED BY CABINET
Proposal Is to Give as Per Cent to
Maintenance, of Government and
Remainder to Foreign
Creditors.

Washington, March 27-Mr. Dawson,
the American minister at San Domingo
has cabled the state department TO the
effect that the Dominican government
has had before 1t for consideration sew
eral plans for the satisfaction Of eialms
o. foreigners, and to tide over the hiatus
caused by the failure of the Senate to
act upon the Dominican treaty. the Do
minican government has about conclud-
ed to install foreign agents in the custom
houses to collect revenues As per cent u
which are to be applied to the mainten-
arce of the government and the remain
ing So per cent to be placed on de-
poslt subject to disbursement among the
foreign creditors in the future after inc
Senate has had an opportunity to again
consider the treaty.
This proposition was made the subject
OF a conference at the White House to-
day between the President Secretary
Taft, Senator Lodge, Senator spooner
and Acting Secretary Adee, but 1t was
stated no conclusion has yet been reach
cd 1t is not quite clear from Mr. Daw-
sons dispatch just what part he has
played in bringing about this agreement,
but It is gathered that 1t has not yet
been contaminated and 1t Is certain that
he has not signed any formal under
taking binding his government. 1t is
probable that further information VIII
be required as to tine details before 1t ~
approved here.
Mr. Dawson's cablegram seemed to IN
dicate to the mind of the officials here
that the proposed arrangement for the
collection of customs revenue by for
eign fiscal agent would apply only to the
ports of San Domingo not covered by the
arhitral award in the case of the San
Domingo Improvement company, namely,
Puerto Plata, Monti Cristi, Sanchez and
SANTANA. The report was to the effect
that the foreign creditor governments
have not yet formally signified their
willingness to enter into the agreement
though their agents and charges have
done so.
The Santo Domingo Improvement COM
pany's representatives have declined to
express any opinion as to the accepta-
billy of the agreement, though this may
be because they do not feel that the COM
pany's interests are involved. their ports
being excepted 1t was said at the close
of the day that the point now at issue
was whether or not the President may
legally designate a fiscal agent to collect
the islands revenues. and the decision
upon that point is expected within a day
or two.

ROCKEFELLER'S GIFT
WAS UNSOLICITED
DR.. BARTON SAYS THE FINAN-
clER'S SON SHOWED GREAT IN
TEREsT IN THE WORK OF THE
MISSION BOARD.

Boston. March 27-In an interview to-
night. DR.. James l.. Parton, secretary of
the American board of commissioners for
missions declared that the proposed gift
of 100000 by John d. Rockefeller to the
board which has caused wide discussion
was unsolicited and spontaneous, origin
ating in an impulse of Mr.. Rockefeller to
further the work of the board Mr.. Par
ton said;
The initial step toward this gift was
taken by John d. Rockefeller. Jr., some
two years or more ago, When he unsolcit-
ed, asked a secretary of the American
board to drop into his office at any time
when in New York for a conference over
matters of mutual interest. This confer
ence was held and the work done by the
American board was inquired into most
carefully.
Subsequently was asked to present a
list of objects which were in immediate
need of support, and which could not be
supported by the regular receipts of the
board. Such list was prepared. Still
later an interview was requested for con-
ference regarding this list, as we'll as the
general policy of the board. This confer
ence was followed In time by the promise
of 100000.
so far as l know, no person sought an
interview with Mr.. Rockefeller or any
member of his family, or any member Of
his staff of secretaries, and no letters
were written to bring influence to bear on
him in these matters. I believe that the
gift was a spontaneous one, given from
his own impulse for the purpose of the
work carried on under the American
board"

BOY REACHES HOME
AFTER LONG STAY
FRANK ELY ROGERS DlsAP-
FEARED FROM EVANSTON FOUR
YEARS AGO WITH HIS AUNT,
MRS. FLORENCE ELY.

Chicago, March 27.-The first apparently
adequate explanation of the mysterious
disappearance of the boy Frank Ely
Rogers and his aunt, Miss Florence Ely,
four years ago at Evanston. was made
tonight to the Associated Press by James
c. Rogers, father of the boy. The simple
and straightforward account of the mat
ter, according to Mr.. Rogers is stranger
than the many fanciful stories that have
been written about the case, which in
Chicago excited as much interest as the
celebrated Ross case in Philadelphia. Re
plyin to questions as to the boys return
Mr.. Rogers tonight said:
AT the time of the disappearance my
son Frank, like many boys of his age,
was fired with deS.re to run away
from home and see life for himself. His
aunt, a sufferer from melanchoIia, was
about to be placed by us in a sanitarium
a proceeding to which she strongly OBJ
Jected. As result of these circum-
stances the two left home together, and
went to Buffalo. There they separated
Miss Ely entered a large store apparently
to do some shopping and left Frank out
side. She had previously given him a
small sum of money. From that time
until now Frank has not seen Miss Ely.
And neither he nor we know her where
abouts. Frank following out his ideas
of seeing life made his best as he could
and reaches home after many vicissi-
tudes"

NEW BRIDGE ASSURED.
Stock VIII Be Taken Literally BY
Citizens of Decatur

Decatur, March 27.-(Special)-The en-
thusiasm in connection with the building
of the foot, electric railway and wagon
bridge across the Tennessee river at this
city is still growing and the building OF
the bridge is now an assured fact
The committees which have the solcita-
ton of stock In hand report that the stock
is being rapidly taken, and they believe
that within the next few days all of the
stock will have been subscribed; that is
IL amount of $4,000 worth of stock that
the bridge construction company require
the local people to take.
The people of the counties contiguous
to the Decaturs are also working like
trogans and they, like the people of the
Decaturs. have succeeded in placing sew
eral thousand dollars worth of stock to
their people.
Walter j. Nesbitt. secretary of the Bus
mess Mems League of Decatur, told your
correspondent this morning that almost
every mail was bringing him letters Of
inquiry concerning the construction of the
bridge from people interested In one way
or another. ls'rs
The report sent out from Huntsville to
the effect that the Louisville & Nashville
railroad was behind the project is without
foundation This bridge is TO be built by
a bridge construction company. The
bridge company requires of the local cit
izens to take $4,000 worth of the bonds
and the said bridge company will float
the remainder of the issue of something
like s175D00.
The Louisville & Nashville Railroad
company have never consulted the people
here concerning the bridge but, on the
other hand II Is believed here that the
Louisville & Nashville will build a bridge
of their own at this city independent Of
any one.

Co.'s Offices Broken Into.

e. L. Edwards Loan company's office at
2OOS1a Second avenue was broken into last
night about 1880 o'clock and burglaraized
of a double-barrel shotgun, and had 1t not
been that Mr.. Edwards returned just at
that time the burglar or burglars might
have secured much more booty.
Mr.. Edwards left the office at $3.50 and
returning at 1880 found the door open
and the room in disorder A double
barrel shotgun was the only article miss
ing. but Mr.. Edwards thinks the burglars
fled as he came up the stairway. He found
a Ratchet on the desk and he is of the
opinion that they were preparing to
break the safe when he interrupted them,
If there were more than one
They could have gone down the hall
and escaped through rear widow onto
an adjoining roof and thereby reached the
ground
The office of the King Lumber company
adjoining Mr.. Edwards office had also
been entered and the office door left open.
Nothing of value was taken from this
place.
The police are working on the case.

members of the mysterious order of the
Court of Colanthe, who were in search

the way is described as a colored female
branch of the Knights of Pythias. and this
delegation of more than a dozen mourning

The Chief was unable to render any i'm
mediate assistance or give any definite
information. but took the sisters name
and description and promised all the as
sistance possible in restoring the wander

AERIAL FERRY Is
A GREAT SUCCESS
FORTY PASSENGERS BOARD THE
UNIQUE DEVICE FOR CROSSING
THE 3e4-FooT CANAL AT DU-
LUTH.

Duluth, Mimi, March 2l-In the teeth
of binding northwest gale, blowing at
the rate Of forty miles an hour, forty pas
sengers boarded the famous Aerial ferry
and made the initial trip on that structure
at 6 o'clock this evening. Owing to the
breakage of heavy cables which supply
electricity to the ferry, the formal open
ing of the bridge, it was thought, could
not take place until tomorrow,
The trouble was remedied, however, and
in spite of the fierce storm raging and
breaking up the huge ice held in the
outer harbor. several scores of people
gathered at the government pier anxious
for the honor of being among the first
passengers to cross the great waterway.
The ferry, which was begun one year
ago, and has cost 100000. is said to be
the only one of it's kind In the western
hemisphere and it worked tonight to the
complete satisfaction of builders and the
city authorities. The cars. suspended by
cables. slide back and forth across the 1874
feet of canal. the motive power being
electricity.
