New Aspect of Stock Dealing

And dealing in mining stocks is to-
day more of q gamble than ever. Thir-
ty-five years ago 1T bore some SEM
blance to business, for the speculz-
tions in Washoe stocks were local, be-
ing confined to this coast only. When
stock sold high and then broke. the
entire market would sympathize with
it. 1t is very different today. This is
because six-tenths of the dealings in
Southern Nevada stocks come from east
of San Francisco. all the way to New
York, including Pittsburg, Boston. Chi
cago, ST. Louis. Salt Lake, and from all
the country between these cities. This
state of affairs often prevents a stock
going up like a rocket, as it would
have done in early days, and then conf
ing down like stick In the present
market it may soar after pyrotech-
nical fashion, but it is apt to caracole
on it's downward fight The reason
for this is that orders come from all
over the United States, and those Civ
ing the orders to buy the stocks. not
knowing of any. weakness. multiply
their orders to buy Brokers, there
fore. are unable to tell If the market
will break or not as these outside or
ders often send it upward again, MAX
ing it buoyant and strong. Old brok-
ers are as much at sea as the youngest
on the floor Their experiences of
years avail them nothing IN combating
this unique situation.

shouldered, towering in height far
above the average sized man, Is the
caller Of the San Francisco Mining Ex-
change, who presides daily over this
miniature human maelstron. The
scene is no novelty to him. Son of the
famous James King OF William, the
brave editor of the Bulletin in the
stirring days OF '56. who had the cour-
age of his convictions and who paid
for them with his life. Mr.. King from
boyhood has been familiar with the
lights and shadows OF dramatic San
Francisco. Son~of a father whose mar
tyred death was the. cause of the Soc
ond vigilante movement in what was
then principally mining town. It was
but natural that he should become In
oculated with the stock fever. But

Fortunes Made Overnight

"A picturesque character in those
early days was a man by the name OF
Sandy Bowers A poor miner who
couldn't write his name. he happened
to buy a few feet in Gold Hill that
developed into an enormous mine, out
of which he took a fortune. He built
a house worth s250.000 near Washes
Lake. in Washoe County, New. and
fitted IL up like a palace. remember
going there one day and his showing
me the house and its furnishings. He
took me through room after room, our
feet sinking deep in the heavy car
pets. and his miners rough boots left
traces of mud and dirt at every step.
1t was he who originated the saying.
Money to throw at the BIRDS And
poor Sandy threw Ii until IL was all
gone. dying as poor as he'd been be-
fore he bought Gold Hill, and his wild
ow was left to exc out living in San
Francisco by telling fortunes.
why were they called the Comstock
mines? Because man by the name
OF Comstock discovered them. but what
became of him no one ever knew Ru-
NOR said that he died a pauper after
giving his name to one of the richest
lodes known in mining history.
But the miners and spectators of
today are on the road to making fabu-
Ious fortunes. Most of the million
of age. One OF the partners in the
great Mohawk mine went to Cold
field as a cowboy Pawning his watch
for $125. he put his fortune TO the test,
with the result that today. at ths
age OF 2S. he Is worth s15.000.oo0. 1t

are all wealthy men today There are
many similar stories to these OF poor
men who have lately made fortunes
out of the mines OF Southern Nevada
And these instances may be said to
be only the beginning repetition Of
the old Comstock glories. New strikes

then, what typical San Franciscan Is
quite immune from It? Can any other
excitement furnish quite the same
thrill? The popular chairman of the
board expressed the feeling of many
others when he said: I'D rather buy
and sell stocks than eat my dinner
And according to the stories that
come down to us from GoIdf1eld. miners
and spectators there are not wasting
much time even upon dinner The
sessions of the San Francisco board
are considered long, extending as they
do from ten in the morning until two
in the afternoon. but the people of
Goldfeld have night sessions well.
They stop for nothing in that town
that has sprung up in night in the
crater of an extinct volcano. Their
sick they ship hurriedly to Carson and
as hastily bury those whose worldly
needs are over. They have time for
nothing but
Gold, gold, gold, gold.
Hard and yellow, bright and cold"
These Southern Nevada stocks are
the fayorites now because no assess
ments can be levied upon them and be-
cause gold is coming out of the mines.
The buyer can simply hold his stock
and take the chances il it breaks of its
going back to the figures at which he
bought it.
Mr.. King. when asked now the pres
cnt boom compared with the excite
ment of the Comstock days, said:
The Old Exciting Days
The San Francisco Stock Board never
amounted to much, that is, the opera
ton in Comstock shares never assumed
great magnitude until the Crown Point
and Belcher deals first began from 1869
to 1875. The excitement was tremen-
dous People went mad. Stocks went
up. up, up until they reached $4,000 a
share. It was at this time that Will
liam Sharon, representing the Bank of
California. with William c. Ralston and
D. o. Mills as partners, began to lay the
foundation OF their immense fortunes.
They organized firm called the Union
Mill and Mining Company, and it
wasn't long before they owned the
great bulk of mills that crushed the
ore that came from these mines. grad
ually gaining control of the mines
themselves. Sharon, who was the great
speculative financial genius of this
partnership, and his friends. controlled
Belcher, while A1vinza Hayward. and
his set gained possession of Crown
Point. The entire capitalization of
those stocks was originally only $io.-
900.
ssrhen came the firm OF Flood &;
O'Brien. James c. Flood. William
O'Brien, John Mackay and James Fair
were, the partners. and their first for
tune was made in Hale and Norcross.

trated the truth of the prospector's
time-worn aphorism that gold is
where you find it, The lodges OF the
sagebrush State are honeycombed with
the prospector's pick. The desert has
lost it's terrors for the miner, the re-
suit of whose find is far reaching. The
golden streams flow down the hills and
swell the channels of commerce, where
men. like craft. are either borne in
safety TO harbor. or are wrecked; but
all ride on it at their peril. for no pilot
can be absolutely sure Of his bearings.

Murder and Suicide.

David Burhaus, cOachman OF Corne-
lius n. Bliss, of New York, took Mrs.
Bliss for a drive yesterday afternoon,
brought her back, and returned with the
brougham to the stable at l42 east
Thirty. ninth street.
Thomas Hegarty, the groom, and
Burhaus's son Harry, who is nineteen
wears old, had been working around the
stable all the afternoon. 1t was about
3 O'Clock when Burhaus drove in. The
horses we're unbitched and he went up
stsirs TO take eff his livery. His wife
and two younger children, boy and a
girl, we're at home.
He greeted them somewhat gloom'ly'
and, after putting on his working clotnes'
went downstairs again. Hegarty was
cleaning the carriage. Harry Burhaus
was in The harness room whisiling ana
now and then Joking with HegSrty.
The coachman went into the stable
and Iookeu over the horses. After lew
minutes he went into the washroQm.
Hepsrty was on his knees cleaning The
back wheels of the brougbam. bis
back was to Burhaus
Harry Burhaus happened to turn sud-
denly and saw his fathers face, which,
be says, vas like a mad mans. sud
denly the coachman pulled revolver
from his pocket and shot at Hegaity.
The bullet went through the door of the
brougham. Hegarty had faced ABOUT
and got part way to his feet, when
3urhsus shot him in the head. He fell
over aud Burhaus shot him again IN
the head
As Hegarty fell, Burhaus put the re-
yolyer to his own head and shot him
self dead. Hegarty died in Bellevue
Hospital.
1t was from Harry that the police an |
Coroner Shrady got the story OF the
shooting. From what they could lind
out there was no reason why Burhaus
should have killed Hegarty. There had
never been any quarrel between them
not even harsh words.
Hegarty was of cheerful disposition,
but of late Burhaus had been very GUM.
His family said that he had been ner-
yous. A year ago the Bliss family sent
him away for week. He stayed only a
day. 1t was said that he came back be-
cause he was afraid that the horses were
not being attended to properly.
II is thought that Burhaus was afraid
that Heearty might get his JOB, although
there WIS no reason for thinking so. Cor
nelius n. Bliss, jr., said that be knew of
no reason why Burhaus sbouldhave Kill

her as A prisoner on Wigh!syille and
Tennille traia near Dublin, Ga, and

with the sheriff in an attempt to get away.
During the struggle she managed to gel
hold of the sherid's pistol. AS the o'-
fcer was trying TO recover the weapon,
it was discharged, the bullet striking
Mrs. Crabb in the forehead. She died
in the sheriff's arms. When the husband
was told, he said; "She need not have
