ACTIVITY IN THE RAILWAY LIST
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK. May 25.-Today's stock
market continued exceedingly strong and
active with very little that was new to be
edduced in connection with its tendencies.
There was to be sure, little more DIS
cussion heard with regard to the beneficial
effect of the opening of the French fran
cal markets to american securities. and d
more general disposition 10 lay more stress
upon the other favorable features uf the
situa ton.
The anthracite coal stocks retained me
conspicuous position in the market which
they have occupied of late, and, in tact,
the dealings in Reading alone furnished
about one-third of the total transactions
IN to midday.
Notwithstanding the comparative con-
vergence of interest upon a Iew stocks,
there was nevertheless, a better dtstrlbu-
tiOn of interest evident than has been the
case for some time past. The shares OF
the railway companies in the southern
states We're largely dealt In at advancing
prices. notably in the instance of Atlantic
Coast Line and louisville and Nashville.
The regular semi-annual dividend Of per
cent was declared upon Atlantic Coast Line.
and the pronounced strength of Louisville
and Nashville was accompanied by sugges-
tion that the forthcoming dividend on that
stock might be declared at advanced
rate Other strong and extensive features
OF the railway list were the Erie issues. all
the Wabash securities, Northern Pa2.f ic and
Great Northern preferred. Union Pacific
and the Missouri. Kansas and Texas stocks.
No very definite explanation of the recent
great rise in the anthracite coal stocks
came to hand.

Recovery in Reading Comment.

The consensus of opinion was still strong
ly to the effect that the movement in that
quarter was in anticipation of the separa-
ton of the coal properties from the railway
companies, as has been suggested of late,
but there was no confirmation of this idea,
and in fact, 1t was unofficially contra
dicted. 1t is probably the case that the par
ticularly extensive and welI-sustained re-
covery in Reading represented. In part at
least. the retreat of a large short interest
in that stock.
Dealings in the industrial and miseella-
neous shares were characterized by the
same strong tone which was exhibited by
the railway list The United States Steel
shares were particularly firm and active
with revival of discussion as to the prob
ability of a comparatively early dividend
declaration on the common stock There
were round advances scored in Consolidated
Gas, Colorado Fuel and Iron. Amalgamated
Copper. American Smelling and American
Locomotive.
Dtstillers Securities was rather sharply
depressed in the early part of the day on
proht-realizing sales following upon the
passage Of the free alcohol bill. but that
stock also moved upward subsequently.

AMERICAN
CANYON MINES
ENGINE TO BE INSTALLED ON
GRAVEL PLANT.
Ground is Thoroughly Prospected
Xxx. ...=s and Plenty Of Pay Dirt
is Discovered.

Last Friday J. w. Wenzel, superir-
tendent of the Monte Christie Minir
Company, came in from American Can
yon to purchase the 32-horse power en-
gine which he will install at the gravel
washing plant which is just being
started by his company In American
Canyon the Monte Christie Company.
composed chiefly of Los Angeles people,
have extensive holdings of placer ground,
says the Lovelock Tribune. They have
thoroughly prospected this ground with
shafts to depth of over 100 feet ard
have found stratas of pay gravel at var
ious depths. These stratas will be mined
out and lifted to the large washing plant
capable of handling 300 tons day. Here
it will be washed for the placer gold
values and when the stratas convenient
to this point have been washed out, the
mill will be moved to another point and
a shaft sunk to get values from other
ground.
But as they have many levels to work
from and can drift in all directions from
the shaft into these old channels, it will
probably be many years and after great
values have been taken out before the
mill will be moved from its present lo-
cation. A large reservoir has been built
in one of the side canyons above the mill
and from this the water supply is taken.
The company's locations extend all. up
the canyon and so they have an ample
flow Of water.
For months past Mr.. Wenzel h; cen
quietly yet persistently working on this
proposition. Originally he went into
the canyon to work on quartz le lges,
but was soon impressed with the advan-
tages offered for Washing the placer de-
posits in the canyon, and quietly Sc
cured all the ground possible, interested
Los Angeles parties with him and the big
mill now being put in operation will
soon demonstrate the correctness of his
theories in this matter. May his labors
be crowned with success. He has lab
ored faithfully and undemonstratively.
A great amount of money has been ex-
pended in this proposition and its sue
cess means the expenditure of great
deal more-besides the reputation of
this vicinity for returning something
upon legitimate investment is at stake.
May the Monte Christie Company realize
millions.
