John w. Gates Defeats
Amalgamated's Attempt
to Buy DAILY Stock.
Secret Of Rich Anaconda
Strike, Kept from Mrs.
Daily, Revealed.
Nsw York Herald Special Service.

~yEW YORK., Jan. 13.-ln explain.
NJ alton of the recent sensational
~ rise Of the Anaconda Mining
company stock from 100 to 29S in the
space Of tea days, and how John w.
Gates walloped the Standard Oil crowd,
an interesting story is told in Wall
street, which, if true, would form an
other interesting chapter in g F'renzled
Finance,' and further illustrate the
methods of the ''System.' b.
Several weeks ago, the Amalgamated
Copper company received secret. infor-
nation of a big strike Of rich ore at the
1,6OO-foot level of the Colusa mine and
a still richer vein running as high as
80 per cent copper in spots in the Ana
conda mine.
With their secret safely concealed,
the Standard Oil interests approached
Mrs. Marcus Daily recently and offered
to buy her stock, which represents the
greater share of the minority stock, and
offered to take her entire holdings.
Mrs. Daily was not anxious to sell. she
said she had always received good
income from her holdings and that she
had always had great faith in her Ana
conda mine. Mr. Daily to his dying day
had believed that the riches had never
vet been unfolded. ~..... .-. .- -.
Offer to Mrs DAILY.
HMrs. DAILY, your stock is selling at
1897 the representative of H. II. .Rog-
ers is reported to have said. - MT.
Rogers will give you 300 for your
stock
The offer was tempting. Mrs. Daily
said she would consider it. She was
all the time ignorant of the big strike.
The Standard Oil representative was
silent on the subject. While Mrs. Daily
was considering the offer, the news OF
it came to John w. Gates. Mr.. Gates
i suspected that something unusual had
slSAappenad to MAX the stock SO va s.lt
q able 80 suddenly. He therefore dis
patched, a confidential man to Butte,
Mont, to investigate. The agent dis
covered the truth and wired Mr.. Gates,
/ who is said to have forthwith offered
Mrs. Daily $50 for her stock, and at
once began to buy all the available
stock in the market. At the same time
he made several $4,000 bets that Ana
conda would cross 300 before the enc
of the year. .

simultaneously, Other Passes
Would Be Forbidden by
Act of Congress.
Scheme Would Obviate All
State Legislation Against
Pass Evil.
By w. W. Jermane.

ww = ASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-lt is
W. very unlikely that any effort
will be made in congress to
retaliate on the railroads because of
the cutting off of passes. Representa-
tive Grosvenor and certain other gar
rulous members are talking more or
less about reprisals, but their talk will
hardly take any serious form. Gros-
venor thinks the government pays
about ten millions too much for the
mail subsidies and that, as ten mil
lions is about the value Of the free
transportation given annually by the
railroads, it will be in order to trim
the subsidies accordingly.
The weakness of the Grosvenor po-
sition is the fact that this important
discovery was not made until after
the passes had been shut off.
There is a proposition, however, that
will receive serious consideration in
a short time, and which has been dis
cussed favorably by number of mem
RS in the cloak rooms and hote
,bies. A bill covering it will soon be
reduced. x IT,. .

MOTHERS RASH DEED


Los ANGELES, CAL. April 11.-Mrs.
Kate B. Raymond. wife of clerk in the
Interior Department at Washington. who
yesterday caused the death of her son by
gas asphyxfation and all but took her own
life in the same manner. was improved to-
day. No doubt is now entertained of her
recovery. If she continues to gain strength
it is likely that she will be removed to the
county Jail today
Mrs. Raymond early yesterday morning
turned on the gas in room at her home at
Col Selma street, Hollywood, suburb of
this city. after carefully locking ali doors
and windows. and asphyxiated her four
teen ear-old son. who was sleeping In
the room. and very nearly ended her own
life. Neig'hbors detected the odor of escap-
Ing gas. the police were notified and the
room was broken into.
The body of the boy lay on small cot
where he had retired The mother was III
hah-kneeling posture beside the cot, with
her fingers interclasped as il in prayer. She
was unconscious and her breathing scarce
ly noticeable. 1t was at first thought she
could not survive
+ The deed had been carefully planned and
carried out. The woman left two letters,
one addressed to her mother. Mrs. Martha
Cooper of San Diego. Cal, and the other to
neighbor. In her letter to her mother she
limited at her unhappy life, and said she
and her son would be better off dead.
