SUICIDE; RICHES VANISH.
Brokers' Death Brings Home Painful
" Truth to Partner.

ruth 10
New York, April 11.-Extraordinary
revelations are following close upon the
suicide few days ago of the man then
known as "a Darling"
Ii The real name of the suicide was
Arthur E. Duck. He was stock
broker here for the last fifteen years
and member Of one of the richest
families in England. His body was
rescued from the morgue and potters'
field by cablegram from London. 1t
was buried April 6 in Evergreen GEM
etery and may be removed to Europe
later.
In Brooklyn an old man of "a years,
Edwin c. Bailey, stands lettering and
aghast at the suddenness of the trag-
edy which robbed Broker Duck of his
life and Bailey himself of what he
fondly imagined was fortune of ST.
100000 accumulated by him and Duck
in Joint speculations in the London
market.
ut is hard for me to believe" said
Bailey yesterday, in piteous voice,

absolutely convinced ] was worth ST.
100000 until Ducks death revealed my
true condition I had given him be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 in cash to
operate with
Woman Got Money.
Somewhere in this city there is a
woman upon whom Duck is alleged to
have lavished $25O,0OO within the last
few years. She and her husband We're
dorniciled at a fashionable hotel on
upper Broadway until Ducks death.
and it is alleged that the couple made
demand on Duck shortly before he
shot himself for $4,000, threatening an
exposure of his liason.
1t is said there are several hundred
victims of Ducks alleged bogus stock
jobbing, operations. 1t is further all
legged that he spent s1,Oo0,000 on wo-
men in fifteen years.
II When his strange career came to an
end he was in almost AFFECT perjury.
Even his two massive gold watches and
his jeweled rings were gone. In shab-
by clothes, with AZ cents and dollar
watch in his pocket, he put bullet in
his brain.
Bailey, his chief victim, so far as
known, has been boarding and scrimp-
ing for years. with the hope of finally
rivaling Russell Sage in wealth His

little milk and two loaves. of bread

Eminent Medical Man Says TubercuIo

sis Will Externinate Negro.
Washington, April 10.-Dr. Scale
Harris. professor of medicine in the
University of Alabama, at Mobile, talk
s ed to the president yesterday about
the ravages of consumption among the
negroes of the south. He expressed
the fear-and he added that his opin-
ion was concurred in by the medical
fraternity generally in the south that
the negro race was likely to become
extinct in this country thru the raw
ages of disease, especially consump-
ton. Statistics showed he declared,
that the death rate among the mem
bers of the negro race in America was
greater than the birth rate.
Chicago, April 1O-"I can scarcely
believe what DR.. Harris is reported as
saying" said DR.. NJ O. Heckard, who
is the keeper of vital statistics in the
city health department. Il have no
knowledge of any statistics showing
that the death rate is greater than the
birth rate among the negroes of the
south on account of consumption. 1t
is q recognized fact, however, that on
account of the unsanitary environment
of the negroes of the south the rate of
mortality is nearly double that of the
white race, and that the negro is more
susceptible to climatic changes.

The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1906-02-03

Since 1899 the American Smelling
and Refining Company has practically
had the monopoly of the custom-smelt
ing business in gold and silver ores in
the United States. Its only serious
competitors have been the silver-lead
shelters of the Pacific Coast, and the
Balbach Company of Newark, N. j.,
whose radius of action has been very
small, especially in the case Of the Bal
bach Company, the latter's business
being chiefly the refining Of base
bullion; and one independent company
in Colorado. During 1905 the inde-
pendent smelters Of the Pacific Coast
were eliminated from the competition
through their acquisition by the Ameri-
can Shelters Securities Company, a
subsidiary organization of the Ameri'
can Smelling and Refining Company.
Enternins Copper Smelling Field.
Outside Of the concerns above men
toned. the only competitors OF the
Trust have been q few shelters OF gold
and silver ore, employing copper as the
collecting agent. These concerns have
been, however, insignificant competi-
tors, except at Salt Lake City, where
their inroads have been of a more
serious character, although not very
damaging, because of the abundant ore
supply tributary to that great smelling
center. Smelling with copper as the
collecting agent being considerably
cheaper than smelling with lead, the
concerns employing the former process
have naturally had the advantage on
certain classes of ore. In this connec-
ton it is interesting to remark that the
American Smelling aud Refining Com
pany is now going extensively into the
copper smelling business at Salt Lake
City, on its own account.
Real Competitor Enters Field.
Competition with the American Smell
ing and Refining Company III a general
way has been frequently threatened.
but plans toward that end have never
gone much further than proftless dis
cussion. 1t appears now, however, that
a real competitor, developed from what
is actually a going concern, is soon to
enter the field.
This is the United States Mining,

CLAIM JUMPERS AT GOLDFIELD
Attempt to Gust Owners by Apply

LIS
A Goldfeld dispatch of Jan. 30 says:
A storm of fury has broken out against
S. d. Coffin, w. II. Brook and a man
named Huyser, who are said to be en-
gagged in the nefarious business OF
c~landestinely jumping and trying to
patent valuable mining claims owned
by other parties. They are accused OF
having applied for patents upon 10 or ~
of the most valuable claims in the dis
trict, aud as they are said to have
plenty of money behind them the feel
ing of the camp is at a high pitch.
There are threats Of violence against
Coffin, who is said to be the head OF the
Jumpers, but he has, thus far. avoided
trouble although more than n out
ragged c~laim.owner has threatened him.
The scheme Of the Coffin crowd has
been worked most successfully. They
obtain a small fraction, sometimes only
20 or 80 feet wide and as many long up
on which they perform $500 worth Of
work. They then apply for a patent to
a full claim. overlapping valuable
surrounding lodges.
This has been done in many instances
and at this time l2 claim-owners find he
has applied for patents on properties
which they have been holding and
working for two years. Coffin says
that he will carry every case into the
Courts and il this is done the properties
may be held in litigation for years, and

With the New United States Company as a Competitor

and an interest in the De Lamar Copper
Refining Company Of New Jersey.
Is Wei Equipped.
The new company will therefore lie
gin business with a copper refinery neal
New York, a copper and lead smeltery
in Utah. aud a copper smeltery in Cali
fornia. 1t is planned, however, tc
erect plants at other points. TIT
success of the new enterprise will de-
pend largely upon the wise location OF
the new plants. In this connection II
may be mentioned that the De Lamar
Copper Refining Company is already
engaged in the construction of a lead
refinery Of "a 1000 tons capacity per year
at East Chicago. Indiana.
Tuo Elements of Success.
1t may be remarked that the new
company starts with at least two ele'
meuts of success, namely, strong tinan-
cial and the possession of i'm
portant ore supplies. The latter con-
dition is fundamental to the success OF
a custom smelling business under pres
ent conditions. IL has been thoroughly
recognized by the managers OF the
American Smelling and Refining Com
rany. who in spite of all their efforts to
keep control of the business by the con-
solidation Of plants and the consumma-
ton of community of interest i'll the
lead manufacturing branches, have
been obliged, or at least have seen fit,
to embark extensively in the mining
business. IL is now seen more and
more clearly that the possession of the
raw material in the form of profitable
mineral is the true basis of an indus.
trial metal enterprise. as was perceived
years ago by some clever intellects, and
for this reason the value Of such re
sources is steadily increasing.
WI Be Welcomed Gladly.
Looking..at the prospect more narrow
ly it is quite certain that a general com
petition in the ore-smelting business
will reduce the profits per ton OF or
treated, wherefore calcul ltions mus
make an allowance for discount from
the conditions of the last two or tire
years. Competition. however. will b
welcomed by the outside mining com
panies, which have to sell their or
without any community of interest
On their behalf it is to be hoped tina
competition will develop surely, swift
and soundly. We believe however
that it is not the intention Of the neN
company 70 court competition at tn
outset. but rather to pursue a conserve
tive policy.-Engineeiing and Mimi
