A BIG ORE STRIKE
 IN TOTAL WRECK
Property in Which Is interest ed Epes Randolph Is
 Promising Mine.

Word has been received in Tucson of another strike at the Total Wreck mine in Pima County. It is much lar ger than the strike made there sev- eral weeks ago. The latest strike was made at the 150-foot level, while the first strike was made at the 170-foot level.
 The Total Wreck people are much elated at the latest strike It is not known how wide the ore body is, but the shaft is all in ore. It had been expected for several days that the vein would be struck within a short time.
 Prof. J. W. Prout, who visited the property several days ago, stated that the strike confirmed his belief and added that he believed the Total Wreck would prove the biggest lead silver property in the southwest, either in Arizona or Mexico.
 The old company which worked this property sank a shaft to a great proved that the old company in sink ing shafts had gone away from the ore bodies.
 Work was abandoned on this prop erty twenty-four years ago after sev- eral thousand dollars had been ex- pended.
 When the new company, in which Colonel Epes Randolph, L. J. F. lac ger, E. P. Drew, c. T. Roberts and others, gre interested, began work, they sank their shaft 560 feet away from the old shaft, on the suggestion of Prof. Prout. That they acted wise ly is shown by the two strikes made is the belief that the strike made recently is near the junction of the main vein and a smaller vein. With this strike the indications are that the company can stope in ore from 800 to TOO feet.

ORE THIEVES SHOT.

For some time miners employed in
 the Esperanza gold mines in Fl Gro district have been stealing ore, some of which is worth s15 to s25 per pound. Recently the authorities decided to make an example of the thieves. Ten men of the night shift were found with ore in their possession when leaving the mine in the morning, and were placed under arrest. The men were liIed up near the mine entrance, de tachment of soldiers was called out and the men were shot within fifteen minutes after being taken into custody
 The bodies were then allowed to re main where they feil during the entire day, as a warning to other ore thieves

NEW YORK GOSSIP.

NEW YORK, Aug. 21-The market opened irregular following London's somewhat lower prices, but gradually improved during the first hour Heavy profit-taking was in evidence in S. P. and U. P, but heavy buying orders ap- peared on every recession. Trading continued in very heavy volume to the noon hour, when prices were more or less irregular because of rather sharp advance in call money. Near the close selling became quite general, which left prices generally the lowest of the day at closing.
 Sales, ?, 23S,90O. Money, 5 to 8.

 August 21, 1906.-Further activity and rise in Cananea
 Central was the feature of to- days trading. The stock is
 soaring upward without any thing evidently in the shape of a retarding element and we feel confident that the price soon will beaboye S20. The demand daily is stronger and buying orders are filled with difficulty even though the bidders have been boosting their figures. Increasing activity and fur ther display of strength is mo- ticeable also in Keweenaw and American. The former is advancing with good substan- , tial strides and there is an ex- cellent tone to the trading in the shares. That the property , on which the company is op- erating will eventually become a big dividend payer there is 5 no doubt and as the good news from the development work is forthcoming the price goes up- ward.
 American is being sought after and is gradually gaining strength. This stock we con- sider at present figures one of the best buys on the list. Shattuck is one that will soon make a big advance and is one , of the sure and safe invest ments on the boards.
 Other of the stocks in which there is marked activity are Globe Cons, E. Butte and Black Mountain. All of these 5 are worthy of the traders in- vestments and will make handsome profits for those who acquire holdings in them now. Closing quotations:

DUEY a OVERLOOK, Brokers
 Listed and Unlisted Securities
Tuesday, August 21, 1906.

At today's opening all interest seem- en centered in the New Yorks, but later in the day same was switched to coppers. s. & P. opened weak. but at the close s17.00 bids could not bring out any stock. Globe took on quite a rise with no stock available under s7.O0. Denn vas very weak at close with plenty of offers at $19.50, this is probably due to rumors that a call will be made September 1, however, we do not put much credence in the report as we have been unable to con- firm same.
 Warren and American were both on the bargain counter with few buyers ir sight. Shattuck was in excellent demand and all offers around $31.50 and s32.00 were quickly taken. Inter- es. in Cananea & Duluth was revived and sales made at s4.0O though there is nothing definite as to what basis this stock will be reissued on.
 Greene Consolidated is being bought heavily by people who believe it will be influenced by the general activity at Cananea on account of the Cole crowd entering that camp.

Mail Car Fight.

A determined effort is being made
by the boards of trade at Vicksburg,
Meridian and Jackson to induce the
Q. & c. road to put a regular mail car
service On trains Nos and 4 of the
Alabama & Vicksburg line, 10 sup
plant the present locked pouch ser
vice.
The post master general has ap-
proved of the service, but President
Harvey, of the @. g. c. route, object
ed to the purchase of new mail cars,
which will be necessary for the estab-
lishment of the service, and contends
that two mail trains per day each
way over the road is sufficient.
The business organizations of Jack
son, Meridian and Vicksburg do not
agree with President Harvey, and are
very much surprised that the railroad
should seek to avoid the establish
ment of the service on this ground,
especially as it has been only a short
time since the Illinois Central put
mail service ON trains Nos. % and %
Of its line, both being local passen-
ger trains, and thus giving four mail
trains each direction per day. The
Illinois Central promptly complied
with the request Of the postmaster
general and the business organiza-
tions of the towns along the A. & V.
road can see no good and sufficient
reason why that system should not
do likewise. President Harvey states
that the two mail cars would cost
$4,000.

BAIL WATER 80 DAYS.
Sailors Escape Death After Long
Strain.

Seattle, Wash, Feb. 1S.-A tale of
drifting 500 miles at the mercy Of the
sea, covering a period of more than
30 days, is told by one Nee Quoi,
Chinese boatswain, rescued from the
wrecked steamship Mariechan in
False Bay, on the Alaskan coast.
The Mariechan encountered her first
difficulty about four hundred miles
off Cape Flattery, when she suddenly
sprang a leak. Work on the pumps
was Interrupted by clogging, and the
crew work night and day with hand
buckets to keep the ship afoat. From
Dec. 25 to Jan. 26 this work was kept
up. The Meriechan finally struck in
Chatham Straits IN a northwest gale.
Thirty-nine members Of the crew sue
ceeded in making the shore, where
they lay for four days almost perish
ing IN the cold, finally being rescued
by the Georgia and taken to Juneau.

Awaiting Decision.

The Mississippi Industrial Expo
sition Company is patiently awaiting
legislative action on the proposition
to sell the old capitol building before
taking any action on plans for the
exposition for the current year.
Manager j. F. Mckay who is at the
capitol today, states that he is in re-
ceipt of many letters from over the
state written by parties who want to
make exhibits this year but all
plans and prospects must be deferred
until the legislature reaches a deci-
sion regarding the disposal of the
property.
The house committee on public
buildings and grounds has recommen-
ded the sale Of the old capitol prop
erty excepting that part used as a
Confederate memorial park, and the
senate on. yesterday made a $500 ap-
preparation for the repair of the park
grounds. 1t is likely that the meas
ure for the sale Of the grounds will
pass the house but there is grave
doubt as to its passage through the
senate, much opposition being mani
tested in that body.
