 siOn

There is stir of curiosity in police circles as the result of a rather myster- ious meeting of tine commissioners last evening Unheralded the board assem- bled in the commissioners room togeth- CT with Mayor Studley, who was pres ent part of the time, and City Attorney Simpson. All the members were pres ent Commissioner Ullman, who had been away for some time, having re- turned. The meeting was held behind closed doors for over an f1our. At it's conclusion it was stated that there was nothing to give out and that nothing of nimportant bearing had been done.
 Commissioner Ullman stated that the meeting was simply held to look over the financial accounts. Chief Wrinn's version was that the meeting was held to listen to lecture on constitutional law by the city attorney. When later interrigated as to whether any changes In the department were contemplated he replied that there were not and clos ed further questioning, adding now you're asking questions. Mayor Studley turned off all questions with a joking answer
 Nevertheless 1t is felt that there is some significance in the closely guarded session. It Is also suggested that the meeting may have been called to dis cuss complaints over Sunday liquor selling in the outlying districts of the city.
 Whatever the purpose of the meeting was none of the commissioners would give out any information beyond that 1t was a. friendly meeting simply and as Commissioner Ullman stated to talk oyer financial matters

 St. Petersburg, March 21.-The work men in one of the mills in this city, to render the election ridiculous, to-day formally chose as their delegate a pet dog called Ross, declaring that the se- lection was made in a spirit of econo- my, for if she should be elected it would cost the government only seven teen cents Q day to maintain this dele gate, instead of the allowance of five dollars, and at the same time the dog Woul2 be quite as useful as a repre- sentative of the workmens interests as any of their candidates who have a chance of election. The workmen of another factory designated as thell delegate the factory chimney on the ground that it could not suffer from machine gun fire.

NO AGREEMENT REACHED
MEETING OF THE JOINT SCALE
 COMMITTEE.
President Mitchell Declares He Has Not Received Reply from Baer--Can- not Discuss Matter-When Answer Is Received It Must be Submitted to Miners Anthracite Committee.

Indianapolis, March 21.-The joint scale committees of the joint confer ence of coal operators and miners of the central competitive and of the southwest districts were in session all most all of to-day, but no agreement was reached.
 The committee of the central compet- ittve field, composed of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and western Pennsylvania, devot- ed its sessions to discussion of the Illinois shot-firers' law, which, the op- orators of that state asserted, unjustly discriminated against them, as 1t adds an expense of from two to ten cents on each ton of mined coal. The miners representatives on the committee re- fused to make any declaration on the subject and asked for recess until to- morrow morning that they might eau GUS. Their caucus was devoted to a discussion as to the best means of get ting the argument in the joint commits sion away from the shot-firers law and getting before the committee the gen. eral question of wages and other sub- jects contained in the demands made by the miners in the former joint con- ference which adjourned in February.
 President Mitchell, of the mine work ers said to-day that he had not receiv- ed a letter from President Baer in re- ply to his proposal for another anthra- cite meeting, and until he had received it and submitted it to the miners an- thracite committee, the members of which are here, he could not discuss the time and place for the meeting.

The trip will occupy, as scheduled,
about eight days and will include a
days stop at Tonopah and day and a
half in Manhattan.
Great interest has been added to the
Greater Manhattan and Manhattan
Gibraltar since the announcement that
the Hindoocraft mine, controlled by w.
j. Arkell, adjoins the property of the
Manhattan Gibraltar. Rich ore sam
pies from the Hindoocraft and Gibral-
tar are to be exhibited in the office of
the Southern Pacific, Third and Spring
streets, and it is a fact that the same
vein system from which these rich
ores have been found in the Hindoo-
craft also traVerses the Centennial
group Of the Manhattan Gibraltar and
the Monarch group of Greater Man
haitian Consolidated.
In this connection is it paradoXical
TO state that whereas the stock OF the
Hindoocraft company is on the market
at about 25 cents a share, the Manhat-
tan Gibraltar and Greater Manhattan
Consolidated is selling at cents and
10 cents respectively. In accounting
for the disparity in prices between the
two adjoining mines Secretary A. l..
Markwell of the Manhattan Gibraltar
states that his company could sell
stock at the lower price on account of
the fact that the corporation was or
ganzed on mo- promotion" stock sys-
tenn. The Greater Manhattan Con
sOlidated Is also organized under that
plan so that the statement Of Secretary
Markwel was coincided in by w. S.
Hanson of the latter company.

c17Nanhattan Gibraltar Stock
Is Being Eagerly Sought

The stockholders Of the Manhattan
Gibraltar Gold Mines company have
had fame and fortune thrust upon them
in a hurry. Twenty-Five thousand
shares of the stock We're bought Thurs
day on thirty-day contract at ten
cents share, the buyer being a well
known mining broker The stock and
contracts were deposited in the First
National bank Of this city.
The remarkable activity in Gibraltar
stock is attributable to the announce
ment in the Examiner" of July is that
w j. Arkell had made a fortune from

exhibit at the Southern Pacific office.

The oldest feature of this good news

| the fact that If those who have pro
NOTED mining companies in the past il
this way were aware of the fact tha
they were giving the public the worst
of it that they had made no move tc
correct the system.
1t has proved to be an incentive tc
hundreds of doubling people to come
in with their savings into the most
profitable, the most important, and the
most logical of all businesss-mining
the business by which all the wealth
of the world in the form of money,
jewelry and plate is originated.
1t has taken from the business, this
mo PROMOTION SYSTEM" all of
the odium which in the past has been
righteously heaped upon the shoulders
of the erstwhile stereotyped watered
stock mining promoter"
1t has made the prosperity of many
promoters look questionable, for it has
made people stop to ask questions,
which have had the same effect upon
the promoters mind and equanimity as
a tight shoe upon pinched foot.
AS a sequence of the announcement
of the mo PROMOTION STOCK SYS-
TEM' and as an evidence of the sue
cess of the plan, the PACIFIC COAST
MINES BUREAU, fiscal agents for the
Greater Manhattan Consolidated and
Manhattan Gibraltar now find them
selves so besieged with offers on the
part of the investing public that their
present quarters, consisting of four
offices in the Chamber of Commerce,
are totally inadequate for their enor-
nous business. Therefore with the
same initiativeness that has always
the moves of this firm of
mine operators, they, the Pacific Coast |
Mines Bureau. on Saturday consum-
ated a lease on the entire mezzanine |
floor of the building 818 South Broad
way.
The space leased is $50 feet long by
10 feet deep and contains 22,5OO square
feet This is more space than is con-
-ained in twenty-five offices in the
Chamber of Commerce building, and is
almost as much space as is occupied
oy any mining brokers in the world.
