had the good fortune TO book the
Georgia Minstrels for an entertain
ment at Honstead's Hall on Monday
night, the 18th instant, the proceeds of
the show to be donated to Mr.. Jukes.
We suspect that the Georgia Min

of our own camp, and 1t will be all the
funnier should this prove to be the
case. Reserved seats and tickets will
be for sale in due time at Tremewan g

by the sweat of their brows, and who
claim the right to organize for mutual
benefit TO themselves. to their families,
and to those associated with them.
The organization, known as the West

which is attracting the guns of the

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago. Feb. 9.-Fear of damage to the
wheat crop of the United States was the
chief cause today Of a strong local wheat
market. At the close wheat for May
delivery was up - Oats showed a gain
of u cent, corn was unchanged and pro-
visions were 2i5 cents lower
The wheat market was active and
strong throughout the entire session. At
the opening May was 4 to g cents higher
at S5qS51s, and after q decline to S47s,
which took place soon after the opening
the price moved to advance. The firm
ness was due to active covering by trad
ers who sold short yesterday on the pre-
diction Of a severe snowStorm in Kansas.
On the failure of the forecast they
bought with energy. An advance In the
price of wheat at Liverpool encoura ged

to winter wheat were received, but they
were indefinite. An excellent demand for

Revival Of the Recent Aggressive
Movement and the Range Of

GAN GROUP.
PACIFIC LEADS

New York, Feb. 9.-There was a re-
Vival of aggressive strength today in
some stock which had Deen conspicuous
Tor some time past Some sympathetic
effect was produced by these movements
III the general market, SO that the range
of prices upon the days business was
mostly above last night. But, compared
with the general response during the re-
cent period of speculative activity to
such movements as those of today the
market was sluggish and inert. Its ac-
ZION was accepted as an additional dem
onstratiOn for the present lethargy of
movements, the most conspicuous was
that in Northern Pacific. This stock has
responded regularly to the constant ad-
vance in Great Northern preferred, al
attributed to the plan for profitable dis
position of its iron ore lands, in which
the Northern Pacific has no apparent
share. Northern Pacific today took the
leadership and caused suppositiOn that
developments special to itself were be-
hind the movement. News Of the de
velOpments was not forthcoming beyond
the stage of unauthorized gossip. This
pointed either to a stock issue with sub
scriptiOn rights, a distribution of sur
plus, or a combination with other rail-
roads. Rumors of Union Pacific's acqui-
sition of Illinois Central have caused
some revived talk Of projects for south
western outlet by other Pacific rail
roads.
1t was nOUced that the ST Louis
Southwestern stocks also were aggres-
sively strong. without special explana-
ton. Reading resumed its conspicuous
place In the trading and once more dem
Onstrated the effective market control
which is held over it.
It's rebound was without explanation be-
yond the supposition Of the requirement
from a short interest built up during the
decline in the stock. Canadian Pacific
responded to the announcement of sub
scription privileges to the proposed new
issue of stock. Some Of the southern
iron stocks were affected by the circu-
lation of a statement that a strike OF
soft coal miners would not affect their
interests and would leave them free to
operate to advantage even If competf-
tors were embarrassed.
Estimates of the currency movement
for the week gave promise for a weak
bank statement but the appearance of
the forecast had no effect on stocks. The
shipment of gold engaged for South
America was postponed until next week
instead of going this week as at first
Intended. The buoYant movement OF the
HjII-Morgan group helped the general list
to advance, but it did not communicate
itself with great force to the rest of the
market The closing, however, was firm
ard near the top.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value. 81. $4,000.
United States bonds were all unchanged
on call.

Chalcopyrite Is Streaking the Galena

UNCLE SANS DIVIDEND
MERGER OF BULLFROG MINES
REPORTED BREWING.

Copper is now appearing in such guam
tity on the drain tunnel level Of the
Honerine bonanza at Stockton as to en-
courage the belief that the red metal
is destined TO play an important part
in the earning capacity Of the mine. Man
ager E. J. Raddatz came in from the
property yesterday mUrning With sam
pies Of galena ore through which was
running fine streaks of chalcOpyrite.
Selected pieces of the ore carry easily
10 to 10 per cent copper. while Manager
Raddatz estimates that the mass Of ore
through which the tunnel is now being
driven will carry an average OF possibly
to per cent
Since the strike was made. less than
two weeks ago, the tunnel has been
extended sixty feet, all the way IN ore
of a high grade but the copper did not
begin to appear until the last twenty
feet. There is nothing yet to show when
this first shoot Of ore will have been
passed through, and the appearance of
the copper is taken to emphasize not
only the great strength and permanency
of the ore bodies, but 1t also suggests
the idea that at greater depth the mine
IS likely to develop into sensational
copper bonanza.
Roadway in the new ore body had been
rather slow since the shoot was struck,
Mr. Raddatz explained owing to the
fact that the ore began to make close

cutting to get under the lncllne thaI IS

This has caused the report to gain
currency that the Shoshone properties
are to be made the foundation Of a large
holding company that will eventually ex-
ercise control over most Of the present
producers, and probably a number of
the more prominently located prospects
as well. Should the plan, as under
stood here, be carried through, the COM

Not a Time for Disturbances.

In justification Of this position. it is
r,Ofnted out in high financial circles that
the time is not oppOrtune for the project
ing Of any great enterprise that might
cause disturbance There is nothing IN
the monetary situation today that gives
reason for apprehension. But whether
that situation might maintain its stabll-
ity in the event of some gigantic devel-
opment is a question which il is believed
these great interests do not care to face
at This time.
Thus it happens perhaps that details
are withheld, that no explanation was
forthcoming yesterday for the seemingly
well authenticated statement that there
passed yesterday afternoon, between in
terested parties, a sum of money reach
ing into several figures, in compliance
with the primal condition Of peace nego-
tiations.
Among the names which are TO figure
prominently in future Developments there
Is every. reason to believe that Of Thomas
+. Cole Of Duluth will stand we'll to the
front. Mr. Cole has been associated with
the successful operation Of the Calumet &
Arizona and the Bonanza Circle group Of
mines at Bisbay, Ariz., and the North
Butte Mining company at Butte. He has
for several years been president Of the
Oliver Mining company, known as the
mining branch Of the United States Steel
corporation. and is a director in the Kee-
Wenaw Copper company. Mr.. Cole has
been in the city for some time, and is
understood to have been in close touch
with the pending developments.

The big steam shovel which is to be en-

go into commission yesterday. Before it
gets down to handling ORE however, a
great deal Of surface wash and debris
will have to be stripped off the oUtcrop Of

Manager George H Dern Of the Con-

In speaking Of operations at the Utah

mentioned as being superintendent, when
credit for placing the mine in its pres
ent splendid physical condition should
have been credited to Richard s. Sutton
who succeeded Charles Crismon as super
intendent last July. Mr. Crismon had
been so many years in charge of the prop
crty that, while ii was known that he re-
signed and went to California for his
health during the summer. it came ma
turaI to still connect him with the prop-
erty. Mr.. Sutton has worked like a tiger
to make a new mine of the Utah, and
