he received accidentally at the hands ot
a companion on January goth, near She'll

Old so and Mrs Frank r. Paradee
of TO- Aaood street, died yesterday

Tho boN and "a companion were playing
with % 22-cahbrc air rifle on tho date
mentioned. Neither Thought the weapon
was loaded. The ball entered the boy 5
eve and ploughed itself through the fore
head. The lad was sent 10 the Homn-
opathic Hospital where he fingered for
awhile until he grew better and he was
then taken to his home.
The boy continued TO improve, APP
parently, until the last few days, when
he gradually grew worse until death came

Believing that the shooting was purely
accidental, it is not likely that any action

GREAT BEND CONDITIONS.
Decline in Stock Is Attributed to
Plans of Development Decided On.
Especial to The Herald

Goldfield. May H.-Msnv INQUIRIES are
coming in about Great Bend. The stock
has sagged 70 20 cents on the exchange
while II was 50 cents before the San Fran
cisco fire It was expected generally that
Great Bend stock would stand I'D with
the strong ones. and there is much dis
appointment over the matter. The only
ground Of the slump seems to be that
MessTs. LOTUS and Davis, the men in
charge who have scored more successes
in the way Of developing mines than al
most any other operators have deter
mined to make haste slowly and develop
the mine in a manner calculated to make
it last.
It viii be remembered that the stock
commenced to climb from IA cents to S.
when a strike was made on what is
known as the south vein This was vein
uncovered at the surface on the south
slope of the hill about 800 feet from the
main workings where a permanent shaft
was being sunk An immense quantity
Of ore was hOisted from this south vein
and it was mined TO depth of 30 feet
when the vein dipped from the shaft and
prosecuting was commenced in hope of
locating 1t again It was located and
drffted upon for some distance but il was
then decided that il would be more profit
able to sink the main shaft at the top of
the hill to a depth Of 200 feet and to run
drift from that point out to the south
to take the south vein at that angle. This
Work IS progressing. the shaft is down
and the drift has been started. In a few
weeks the south vein, which carried $500
telluriUm values will again be ecoun-
tered Meanwhile new hosting plant is
being installed and the entire property
put IN perfect order to insure a large pro-
duCtiOn- The lower grade values in the
main workings. which were encountered
long ago, are also receiving attention and
the biggest tonnage viii undoubtedly be
taken from there
The above is in substance the statement
Of Jim Davis. He further stated that he
believed a large number of San Francisco
holders of the stock had been forced to
let 90 and their shares had flooded the
market The same shareholders held
many other stocks, but they let 20 Great
Bend because every one Of them had big
profits on their original purchase price
and naturally preferred to realize on
these. Ore is still being shipped and 10

mine. Mr.. Davis says that he believes
that IN q few months he will he able to
demonstrate that Great Bend is one Of

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago May 22-IndiCations Of q break
in drought conditions in the southwest
had a weakening effect today on the 10
cal wheat market. Final quotations of
the July option were down sc. Corn was
off 1zdsgc Oats showed loss of asQ1zc.
Provisions were sc to TIC lower.
The wheat market today was a 'Westh-
CT market almost exclusively. From the
opening to the close sentiment was bear
lsh because of more favorable weather
for the growing crop A fairly steady tone
prevailed at the opening because of an
active demand by shorts, but this was
soon satisfied and the market weakened
The prediction of the weather bureau that
rains would fall generally throughout the
wheat belt tonight and tomorrow brought
on increased weakness. A decline of more
than 2 cents IN the price of wheat for
May delivery was another factor that IA
vOred lower prices. The break IN the May
option was caused by liberal profit-taking
which was induced by the quite general
belief that the leading shorts in that Op-
ton had made settlements over night
During the day a number Of damage re-
ports were received from the southwest,
but they failed to offset the improved
weather conditions The market closed
easy. July opened a shade lower to
shade higher at S3Ssc to s324c sold up to
S37kc and then declined to S25sC. The close
only July was &c down at S25sdS3c-
The prospect of wet weather throughout
the middle west weakened the corn mar
ket. Several leading longs were free sell
ers, and offerings were taken chiefly by
commission houses, although there was
some covering by shorts The market
closed easy July opened q shade lower
to a shade higher at 4S1sd4S1tc, sold off
to 47Ssc and closed 1zd5sc off at 415sC.
Trading in oats was active, and the
market was inclined to be weak because
Of favorable weather conditions for the
growing crop Reports from Texas were
than harvesting has begun in the south
western part Of that state, and that the
WELD is meeting expectations Local longs
and commission houses sold literally. JULY

went east on business understood to have
had to do with the properties Of the San
Pedro Gold Mining company. which he
and others organized on recently acquired
property in the Black Horse district near
OSceOla, New. It leaked out yesterday
that the San Pedro company business was
only incidental, as word from the east
briefly told that Mr. WooIley and his as
sOciates had closed deal for the pur-
chase of the famous OSceoIa Placer com

These plaCeTs have produced millions

DEVELOP MENTS
Stock Market Profoundly Apa-
thetiC, With a Downward
Tendency.

New York, May $50 profoundly apa-
thetic was the trading in the stock mar
ket today that there was little room left
for any but negative deductions. That the
formation Of speculative sentiment awaits
an initiative from new events is the one
SAFE conclusion to infer The hesitation
IN forming conviction on the future of the
market must Of course be based on some
uncertainties in the outcome Of events
Inc problem Of the fall money markets
cOnunueS to be most considered and the
day to day events in Wall street at pres
ent offer little assistance in forming an
opinion The reopening Of the San Fran
cisco banks for business is expected to-
morrow and with banking resumed there
1t IS expected that early light will be
thrown on the extent to which the large
cash relnfOrCements sent there for use in
the first strain of the banks viii have to
be retained. There were further remit
tances to San Francisco through the sub
treasury today in continuation Of vester-
days considerable movement It is as
sumed that these later COnsignments are
due in part to remittanCes for account of
insurance companies in preparation for
the payment of claims upon them for fire
losses rather than for purely banking ne
CeSsities
The strength Of the san Francisco banks
and confidence in the position is inferred
from the fact that they have not avaiIed
themselves OF the offer of the United
States treasury department to place on de-
pOsit with them $4,000 600 of government
funds TO strengthen their position With
their ability to meet claims Of deDOSitOrs
promptly demonstrated a return to New
York Of some Of the cash forwarded 10
San Francisco is expected.
The money outlook abroad seems not en-
tirely clear, either. London and Paris
markets both were Iethargic today on
prospects Of tight money. although the
Berlin market was cheerful in the hope
that the German imperial bank would re-
duce its official discount rate tomorrow
Money brokers reported some diminution
In the supply Of funds offering on time
in this market and rates for the longer
period were firm. The weekly bulletin Of
crop conditions issued by the weather bu-
reau with its showing of insufficient
moisture in the winter wheat region of the
southwest was not helpful to stocks, al
though the wheat market was inclined to
react from its recent strong advance on
immediate reports Of showers today
The price Of copper IN London made a
recovery from yesterdays sharp break
but without helping the copper group in
this market The one incident Of interest
