announcement!

Owing to the fact that u aIotments of Treasury stock of the
Bulfrog Mayflower Annex Mining Company and the Goldbar Frac-
ton Mining Company of Goldfeld, have been vastly oversubscribed,
we n unable to fill orders for this stock at the price mentioned in
our last market letter.
Work is being rushed on both properties and we believe that both
will make mines of great merit. The stocks have been listed IN the
San Francisco Stock Exchange and are now being traded in.
We strictly advise our customers to buy this stock at the market
price at once, while the market is yet quiet. There is no doubt that
the market will be very strong right after Christmas and now is the
time to buy these stocks.
Forward your orders for these stocks 'at market to us, OF any
reliable broker, who trades on the San Francisco Stock Exchange.
Both stocks will also be listed o. the Goldfeld Stock Exchange within
the next thirty days.
We believe these two stocks to be the best investments in the
Godfeld and Bulfrog Mining districts at the present time.

WILL SHORTLY COMPLETE
THE WATER SYSTEM

a plentiful supply of pure water will
shortly be delivered to the people of
Goldfeld by the Montezuma Water
company. This company owns water
rights near Ida where the flow is esti-
mated at between half a million and six
hundred thousand gallons a day. Tun-
neis will largely increase this flow. The
water from the various springs is con-
veyed to a main pipe line which is .
little over % miles in length.
Half the length of main has already
been laid and pipe is scattered along
the right of way for nearly the entire
remaining distance. The balances of
the mains is in transit.
a merger with the present distri5ut-
ing system and the sewer system has
been arranged and the consolidation will
own the entire dual system. 1t will lie
about a month before the project is
completed. The system is gravity
throughout and the pressure as well &C
supply will be adequate for fire pui-
poses.

MANHATTAN LADY BROKER
IS VISITING GoLDFIELD

Nearly all occupations have been pre-
emptied by the fair sex, frequently by
invitation, more often by sufference. 1t
has remained until the present, how
ever, for the Medean law that men and
men only should conduct the affairs or
the stock market. to be infracted. A
pioneer ~stockbroker, who takes an ac-
tive part in the WORK on the floor or
change. is Miss B. NJ. Wilson of Man
haitian. Mrs. Hetty Green and a few
other inanciers of the feminine persua-
sion own exchange seats, but they are
not permitted to appear upon the floor.
When the Manhattan stock exchange
was organized Miss Wilson was invited
to become one of the charter members.
She is now on the directorate and is
most active in conducting the affairs of
this ~fourishing institution. Her coun-
sci is sought in all matters pertaining
to the welfare of the organization and
she is one of the heaviest BUYERS and
sellers in the camp.
Miss wilson Is also a registered at
torney at law. She spent several days
this week in Goldheld on legal matters
and, in esponse 10 an inquiry by a
News representative, stated;
Manhattan is on the eve of one OF
the greatest booms that have ever
struck Southern Nevada The exchange
is now more enthusiastic and transacts
a larger business than the one at Tono-
pad and is a formidable rival to Gold
fields stock exchange.
The camp is looking gilt edged at
present. The mines are making good.
There is especial activity in the new
conner fields of East Manhattan, where
the Toquima, Bonanza and Ralston
Valley are showing up enormous ore
bodies of high value. Gold Hill is an
other portion of the camp that is show
ing up well and central district is also
coming to the fore"

about 3h feet. Assay showed values
of from $40 to as high as $1,000 in
silver and 81 to $40 in gold. the average
in the two metals being about $50. The
company took out 800 sacks of ore from

BOOM on AT L

Ely is having its boom, and people
are going in at the rate of forty to
sixty a day. Buildings are being
erected as rapidly as the builders can
get the material.
1t is tolerably certain that the camp
will be turning out copper within four
months. The first section of the con-
contractor of the Giroux Consolidated
company will be operated in connection
with the 200-ton smelter, which has
been already completed.
The Guggenheims are rushing the
construction of their big smelter, but it
will necessarily be some time before it
can be put in operation.

told in a statement issued today by the
bureau of statistics of the department of
commerce and labor. 1t shows that the
commerce between this country and its
island possessions has grown from lit
tie less than 100000 in 1897, the year be-
fore annexation, to over SiO,000000 at the
close of the present year
For the ten months ending with octo-
Der the business between the two coun-
tries amounted to 35S3O,0S3 or this
amount the United States sent to Porto

the French government has not sent a
Geographic circular to its representatives
abroad in answer to the protest of the
Holy See concerning the searching of the

Mcnslgnor Montagnini, but has merely
communicated with the diplomats accred-
tied to Paris.
The vatican now does not conceal the
fact that the important documents in the
nunclature We're transferred long before
the search was made to the embassy of a
Catholic power While it is not known to
what embassy they We're taken, it is
known 1t was not that of Italy. 1t is
supposed they were conveyed to the Aus
trian embassy. 1t is also stated that the

lete.

CORONER'S JURY
PROBING MURDER
Mrs. Butts Will Be Inferred
This Morning
MUCH MYSTERY PREVALENT
VIII Shackeford Still Held-The
Evidence Against HIm-Mys-
terry AS to Motive of
Crime.

Further than the fact that the coroners
jury is investigating the murder of Mrs.
S. c. Butts, which occurred Saturday
night at Fifty-second street, Woodlawn,
been brought to light. The coroner will
hold an inquest today. Officers Gray and
Fowler are diligently investigating the
horrible affair." and expect to furnish
evidence for the conviction of William
Shackelford, the negro suspect held No
clues are in evidence as yet pointing to
any other person who was likely to be
implicated, and he is held ON the elrcum-
stantial evidence narrated in The Age
Herald yesterday morning.
Shackleford, it seems, lives in a house
which was owned by Mrs. Butts. He was
accustomed to call at the store of which
the lady was proprietor every Saturday
night and discharge his weeks indebted
ness Whether or not he followed his
custom last Saturday night, is not posi-
lively known. When arrested and ques-
toned, the negro was unable to tell a
straightforward story, and he is held
gro positively denies that he is guilty.
lie says that he did not visit the store
Saturday night and gives as a reason
for his failure to do so, that he had not
drawn his wages. Inquiry led to the dis
covery that this was untrue, and that
the negro had been paid his weeks wages
Saturday afternoon.
Unless robbery was the motive for the
crime, none other can be imagined, and
it cannot be stated that the house was
robbed, although the dsorderly state Of
affairs in the living room indicates some
thing of that nature. About IS in money
was found still remaining in the place,
but whether or not the murderer took
other moneys and valuabes is not known.
The general belief Is that Mrs. Butts was
a woman of considerable wealth.
The funeral of the deceased will take
place this morning from the residence of
her father, r. Cunningham, 203O Sixth
avenue, Birmingham, and interment will
be at Elmwood cemetery. The deceased
is survived by her father, a sister, Mrs.
NJ. C. Beall, and her son, Thomas, a boy
of IL years.
Mrs. Butts was found unconscious in
har store at Fifty-second street and
Avenue e, Woodlawn, Saturday night,
shortly after o'clock. Her skull had
been fractured by a severe blow dealt
from behind with a heavy, blunt instru-
ment. After the unconscious body was
discovered, death followed shortly
The funeral arrangements will be in
charge of Lige 10y, undertaken.

FRIENDS WITH HIM.

Mount Olive, Miss. December "a
posse of 200 armed men with rifles left
here by a special train today to surround
a house in which Wheeler King, who
yesterday killed Town Marshal Buchanan,

Before Kings reported detection at this
house, fully half dozen posses had been
out in the woods surrounding Mount
Olive, most of them composed of men de-
termined to lynch King, The community

DETERMINED WOMAN

ToPISTOL-OFFlCERINlx MAKES
INVESTIGATION-DR. FRENCH
RETAINS PISTOL.

| Miss Dorothy Strong, q young woman
living at 1907 Avenue e, committed sui
eide Yesterday afternoon at o'clock. She
shot herself through the right temple,
death following instantaneously. The
body Is at the undertaking establishment
Of Lige 10y.
Yesterday morning, when Willie Arm
strong, a negro woman employed at the
residence, reported for her days work,
Miss Strong was lying upon the hoor'
suffering agony from the effects OF an
oniate. DR.. d. F. Tally was summoned,
and after great effort, the woman's life
was saved. When Dr. Tally next heard
from his patient, the negro woman said
that Miss Strong had shot herself to
death.
DR. Tally notified the police department
At Il o'clock last night Policeman Joe
Nix and a representative of The Age
Herald made an investigation of the
tragedy.
when the house was entered, the body
had lust been removed to the undertake
ing parlors. In the house were Willie
Armstrong, the negro woman; her nus
band French Armstrong, and DR.. A H.
French, veterinary surgeon. the ped
on which the woman lay when she shot
herself was sprinked with blood. Or.
French informed Officer Nix that the
hodv had. Just previous to his entrance,
been turned over to the undertaken. lie
stated that he arrived on the scene I'M
mediately after the suicide, and that the
body was still warm when he stood at the
side of the bed. He stated that he had
remained in the house with the body for
six hours, that his efforts to notify the
coroner and the undertaken had proved
futile.
Dr. French had possession of the pistol
with which the woman had killed her
self. 1t was a double-b arrelled derringer.
officer Nix demanded the pistol, but
Dr. French declined to give it up. The
officer stated to the doctor that he
thought the weapon should be turned
over to him, but declared that he would
not insist further than formal de-
mand.
DR.. French stated, when asked, that
Miss Strong was a close friend of his.
She had been IN birmingham lol tiliNN
years The doctor said that she was 81
years of age, that she was born in Mead
vile, Pa, and that she had no relative.
Mental abberra ton was his theory as to
the cause of the suicide.
Miss Strong was the daughter of Clay
ton Strong once a wealthy man of Gin
cinnati She was the sister of Gladys
Strong, whose sensational elopment with
Alex Wilrick, son of Lieut.. Col. Abram
Wildrlck of the United States army, was
reported fully by the Associated Press in
1903.
An examination of the personal eff
fects of the deceased revealed nothing
that would throw a light on the cause of
mental alteration. A photograph showed
that the woman was beautiful. A num-
Der of volumes of Shakespeare and Dick
ems, and other standard authors, indi-
Gated that she was a woman of culture.
The coroner's jury will investigate the
case this morning.
Willie Armstrong, the negro woman,
stated that Miss Strong had threatened
suicide on other occasions. DR.. French
reiterated this statement.
