Los Angeles, April 1S.--The steadily
increasing volume of business that is
being transacted on the local mining
exchanges is indicative of the fact that
Los Angeles is destined to become the
mining center of the great southwest.
A prophesy to this effect was made by
Charles Schwab, upon his recent visi,
to this city, and there is no question
but what the encouraging words of the
former steel magnate had much to do
with the decision of the Los Angeles
stock exchange in establishing a mining
department. Considerable opposition
greeted the first efforts of those brokers
on the exchange who advocated the
move. but a spirit of satisfaction and
unity now prevails, as the growing
sales of stock indicate the popularity Of
the innovation.
Manhattans continue to hold the at
tention of investors, and the sales OF
the better class of stocks in the new
district have been surprisingly heavy.
Manhattan Red Top, Seyler-Humphrey,
Manhattan Mining and Greater Manhat-
tan Consolidated, are among the heaV-
lest traded stocks, and the shares OF all
new promotions in the Manhattan MN
ing district find ready takers, for the
tendency of investors seems to be TO
spread their investments among a num-
her of companies. rather than to carry
all their eggs in one basket.

SKoOKUM.-That the extent of the
Bullfrog district has not yet been de-
termined is evidenced by the fact that
new discoveries are of almost daily oc-
%currence.
The very latest strike, n what
promises to be one of the biggest and
richest mines in the state of Nevada,
judging from the extent of the deposit
and the sensational values of the dis
covery. is the Skookum-Bullfrog, about
IA miles from Rhyolite in a southeast
erly direction. The find was made by
Edgar Boiling, a prospector grub-staked
by C. w. McDorman. Mr.. Boiling picked
up some rich float and some pieces of
rock on the surface, which. when as
sayed, gave the phenomenal returns of
1851 per ton. He showed the assay GER
tihcates to several parties. among
Others Zeb Kendall and Judge l.. o. Ray.
These gentlemen took an option on the
property for a considerable sum of
money. They made an examination of
the same, and while on the ground
Shorty Kendall placed a shot in a
cropping exposed about 20 feet from
where the first rock was secured, n
when the cropping was blasted off, over
two feet of the richest ore ever discov-
cred in the state of Nevada was opened
UP.
Very much excited, the parties load
ed up with samples and returned to
Rhyolite, where the news of the mar
velous discovery soon became known.
Assays of the rock CAV returns of
from 200 to 1000 ounces in silver with
some values in gold, and from 5 to is
per cent in copper.
PITTSBURG.-Both shafts on the
Sappier are going down steadily and
show a permanent improvement with
every weeks work. High values are
expected when the shafts are $50 feet
and through the cap rock. The building
for the hoist is completed, the engine
set, n the gallows frame is nearly
fnished. The parts broken in transit
have been shipped. Hume & Son have
shipped the diamond drill from Salt
Lake., and have contracted to begin
work within 80 days of shipment. A
member of the firm and a crew of picked
men will arrive with the machinery.

THE BULLFROG DISTRICT


Bullfrog. May s.-All eyes in Bullfrog
are on the Rush group Of claims on
Bonanza In the main tun-
mel on the Rush vein. which is now in
over 200 feet, a station for a winze was
cut last week. and the work of sinking
has been commenced. At this point rs
feet of ore is revealed going ss5 to the
ton clear across. The Wine will be sunk
on the vein to an indefinite depth. the
present intention being not to discon-
tinue until the 500 is reached and an i'm
mense body of ore is opened up.
A shaft is now being sunk on the In
dex claim on the Denver vein, within
$50 feet of the Peerless No. 3 claim.
and this shaft will be sunk to a depth
of 800 feet before any change in the
present plan will be decided upon.
Thirty feet of $40 ore is opened up on
the Denver Mines company's ground at
this depth, and the Rush management is
confident 1t will disclose the same at
depth. Meantime the tunnel and cross
cut work. of IL tunnels and 3 crosscuts,
will be continued. Up to the present,
no attempt has been made to block out
ores. and all the work is of an exploring
character.
Prof. Bailey reports that the Rush
vein has a minimum width of 154 feet.
and at one point is 300 feet wide, and
that a million dollars worth of $40 ore
is already disclosed. He contends 1t is
the widest vein in the entire Bullfrog
district. The Rush vein has been
opened up clear across the Rush claim
for a distance of 1900 feet, and the Dem
yer vein has been opened up on the In
dex No. / claim for a distance of 500
feet; it has been traced from Denver
Mines company ground into the Peerless
group and thence into the Rush group
and out of the Rush into the White Rock
claim, which adjoins. Forty men are at
work. 1t is costing the mpa in the
neighborhood of 100000 a month to
develop the property. The property is
unquestionably a bonanza. There are
three full claims in the Rush group and
they adjoin the ground of the Bullfrog
Denver Mines company.

DEEvER-The Denver continues 10
develop in a most satisfactory manner.
The ledge. where encountered by the
fourth level. has been crosscut and
proven to be Is feet in width, with mill
ing values throughout. 1t will be re-
membered that two weeks ago the
Herald mentioned the fact that the
crosscut from the winze. which had
reached a point directly horizontal with
the fourth level. had exposed is feet Of
high grade milling ore. These points
are more than 200 feet apart on the
same level, with the better values in
the crosscut from the winze, which has
a greater vertical depth. The develop
ment in the two crosscuts indicates n
the ledge is holding to a width of at
least Is feet for this distance. The
lower level is being continued, n is
expected to come into shipping values
when the work Is extended a short dis
lance northerly from the Wine. when
the face will encounter the rich shoot
In which the Denver made it's phenom-
email strike a few month ago. The face
of the fourth level, so feet beyond the
crosscut, is exposing high grade milling
values. The second winze from the
third level is down % feet in excellent
ore. 1t is being sunk 200 feet north of
the first winze. The crosscut east from
the third level, which is expected to de-
velop parallel veins, has been driven rs
feet. The third level is also being ex-
tended on milling values. No. 5 tunnel
has cached 125 feet, but has not en-
countered the main Denver ledge.
BONANZA MOUNTAIN GOLD
Forty feet of drifting north from the
Peters shaft continues to expose the
good values reported last week. the as
says running from SIS to SITS. No. 3
shaft is down 35 feet and No. 4 about 20
feet. Seven men are employed on No.
4, which is equipped with a within, and
every effort is being made to put this
shaft down to $50 feet. from which level
prospecting will be DONE.
NORTH sTAR-No. 1 lease on the
North Star is making good Roadway
and the crosscut is in over 80 feet with
some good looking rock and a well de-
fined wall. The company's upper tun-
mel is in 32 feet and is some 80 feet from
the lower ledge. The company is now
working in three places and will shortly
start prospecting on The south end of
the North Star claim.
TRAMP ExTEMsI0N-In addition to
the work inaugurated on the Expecta-
ton of Bonanza mountain, the Tramp
Extension company is working vigor-
ously on it's claims in the Lee district.
Both properties have fine surface indica-
tions. The promotion of the company is
being received with much local favor.

Conductor Has Trouble
With Unruly Colored
Passengers.

A riot on a crowded street car, result
ing from a quarrel between the cOnduc-
tor and an unruly cOlored passenger,
created much excitement late last night
at Seventh and 1 streets southwest.
Conductor Edwards was brutally as
saulted. it is alleged. and in the gen
eral fracas, a cOlored woman. Louise
Galloway had her skull fractured by a
blow FROM beer bottle.
The ear was filed with passengers
returning from Motley Hall Under the
inspiration OF booze" the colored men
and woman are said 10 have acted in
sultingly toward the conductor. and
threatened 10 put him of the car and
run IT to suit themselves. After being
reprimanded repeatedly, several men
jumped to their feet. pulled the bell
cord. and incidentally rang up num-
ber Of cash fares
Pandemonlum started when Howard
Roots, colorod, and two other men whose
names have not been learned, made a
lunge over the seats toward the con-
ductor and are said TO have attacked
him vlciously Roots IS alleged 10 have
thrown at Edwards the beer bottle
which struck the woman.
Anticipating some trouble, most Of the
disturbing factors piled of the car and

scene and pursued Roots, who, the pO-

STOCKHOLDERS WANT

NEW YORK, Aug 1T is evident
from their restlessness that the stock
holders in the big express companies of
the United States are OF the opinion that
they are not getting all that is properly
due them. They should be getting In
creased dividends. they think, aud in
one case. at least. they have been sue
cessful After long fight the Wells
Fargo directors gave in to the stock
holders and raised the dividend rate
from to 10 per cent.
Now come the stockholders Of the
American Express Company. who say
they want more dividends. They now
are receiving S per cent on their stock.
btu they say il is not enough. The OUT
standing capital Of the company is SIS
000. 600. upon which the yearly dividend
disbursements is $1.440O00 The dissat-
isied stockholders say they ought to
have al least u per cent annually on
their share holdings which would moan
an annual disbursement OF S2,160,oC0,
In a circular issued by L. Levy & Co.
members Of the New York stock ex-
change, Il IS requested that stockhold-
ers of the express company sign a pei
tion for = per cent dividends so lorg as
the net earnings of the company shall
continue as large as they have been IN
the past TWO years. 1t is pointed out in
the circular that the substantial assets
have increased TO over $50 600 600. while
the amount fixed in the articles of as
ISOLATION is s.. 10000. The directors are
mildly criticised in the circular. but
nothing more than that.
Levy & Co. are holders OF l, 900 shares

tested desire to agitate for an increa sc
