This was the interesting gambling
episode before the grand jury yester-
day in which Assistant Attorney
Francis ]. Heney and Councilman
George Fitzgerald of Oakland were
the star performers.
Heney lost his bet and amid the
laughter of the Oliver grand jury
men, gave his twenty dollar gold
piece to the Oakland man.
An appeal to the records of the
Oakland council was made in order
to settle the bet. The records show
ed that Councilman Fitzgerald had
voted to give the Home Telephone
people a second hearing in the mat
ter of their petition for a franchise,
but on the final vote had opposed
granting it franchise.

as was also S. H. Burns, one of the
councilmen who voted in favor of the
franchise.

COPPER STEADILY
IS ACCUMULAT|NG

BOSTON, Aug. Chopper is ac-
cumulating at various points through
out the country, and at one place in
particular-the Raritan works of the
United Metals Selling company in
New Jersey-the copper is plainly
visible from the trains of either the
Pennsylvania or Jersey Central rail
roads. The capacity of this refinery
is. 2O,000,000 pounds per month.
At the Lake copper is storing up,
as sales of this brand called for de-
livery which for the most part should
have been completed by the middle
of July, and the stocks here are va
riously estimated at from 10, 00O,0 900
to 100000 pounds.
The American Metal company OF
New York is understood to be Offer
ing copper at under 10 cents a pound
The Vogelstein interests have sur
plus of the metal on hand.
Last week prominent wire manu-
facturers held a meeting in New York
and the concensus of opinion follow
ing the conference was that business
in the last three months had fallen
off so per cent.
The brass people state that Their
business has fallen from so to 40
per cent, while the sheet copper bus
mess is practically at standstill.
For special purposes the Roeblings
were obliged a few days ago to buy
about 100000 pounds of electro
lytic copper at % cents.
Neither the Quincy nor the Stan
ton companies have sold copper in
quantity for several months.
The copper production of the coun,
try is from 100000 to 100000
pounds a day. Delivery of copper
contracted for some months ago was
finished for the most part in June
and July. With no recent sales the
accumulation is apparent.
There have been several attempts
at re-sales of the metal by manufac
turing interests, and this fact taker
in connection Win sales of small lots
by independent producers and selling
interests, has thus far been sufficient
to carry the consumers along.

WARNING, BUY ONLY
KNOWN SECURITIES
MINiNG-CURB LETTER ADVISES
PUBLIC DEVOTE ATTENTION
TO LISTED STOCKS.

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-This let
ter is telegraphed to the Baltimore
American, Pittsburg Dispatch, Phila-
delphia Press, st. Louis Republic,
New York Commercial, Boston Post,
Detroit Free Press.
There was very little change in the
curb stocks today, Notwithstanding
the big break in the New York Stock
Exchange issues.
The presidents speech again shows
the administration attitude as be-
ing against the people in control of
the railroads and great industries
who are thought to have transgressed
in any way. In the latter part he
somewhat treasures tockholders by
saying that they would not be in
iured in any way if it could be help
ed. His speech in its entirety does
not hold out much hope for an imme-
date advance in the stock market.
We believe that all good stocks
should be bought and held at present
prices.
This again brings to mind that the
only class of securities that are free
from attacks of this kind are mining
shares, and there is no doubt what
ever but that thousands of investors
are beginning to realize this fact.
This. accounts for the strength
with which all the better class mining
stocks have been holding during the
recent terrific decline, and as the
floating supply of these stocks is linn
tied and about exhausted, the next
general movement of the market will
be upward.
For years past, the investor in min
ing shares, except in few notable
cases, has had little or no run for
his money But New York, during
the latter part of the present year,
will be the center of the greatest
mining market that this or any other
country has ever witnessed. and all
the big money will be made in secu-
rites we have from time to time
mentioned in this letter Securities
which have a known value behind
them and which are in the hands of
conservative mining men of known
reputation.
If you will devote all your atten-
ton to the quoted listed stocks of
the inside properties of such camps
as Tonopah, Goldfield, Bullfrog, Tin
tic, Butte, Bingham, Yerrington. AL
ia, Cobalt and Ely, you cannot lose
money.
But remember, buy only known
securities; that is, stocks that have
been quoted and the properties of
which can be located on the map.
Do not buy propositions, as the
stocks of many proven properties are
now selling at or below promotion
prices.
AS the "Goldfields" will undoubt-
eddy be the leaders in the general ad-
vance, it is fair to presume that larg-
err profits will be made in Goldfields
than in any others during the next
80 days. We therefore recommend
their immediate purchase.
The market was steady all day and
was active and strong at the close.
There is big short interest in such
stocks as Nevada Utah, Goldfield
Consolidated and Nipissing and any
general attempt to cover WI. send
these stocks soaringt
Eagles Nest was the strongest fea-
ture among the low-priced shares,
senlng at SIC. 1t looks like o0c in
the next day or two.

RICH GOLD STRIKE
AT BARBER CANYON

Parties in from the Dun Glen range
bring the news that Mr.. Walther, a
prospector from Tonopah, has discov-
cred an immensely rich deposit of
gold-bearing ore at the mouth of Bar
Der canyon, says the Humboldt Star.
The find was made in a porphyry
dyke that extends through the coun-
trv for a long distance. The ore is
not found in a ledge, but seems to be
a replacement in the porphyry, the
conditions being similar to those that
exist in some of the big mines OF
Goldfield. A number of prospectors
from adjacent camps are going In
and a number of locations have been
made in the vicinity of the strike.
Barber canyon is a section of Hum,
boldt county that has been prospected
for gold and with success for. many
wears. 1t has been in the eye of min
ing men for a long time and at no
time in the past ten years mas Bar.
her canyon been free from of more
or less prospectors raking its rugged
sides.

WARNED OF HIS DEATH;
ORDERS COFFIN; DIES
Three OF The Missouri Doctors Near
Relatives Also Had Fatal
Spirit Messages.

DR.. Joseph A. Krieger, who died in
st. Louis last week, went to the I'M
dertaking' establishment of Meek &
Dickman, six days before his death,
and ordered a copper-ined coffin
which cost 81 900. When he pur-
chased the coffin he said he had re-
ceived spirit warnings of his APP

tives died after receiving similar
warnings.
John Philip Krieger, his father;
Miss Wilhelmina Krieger, sister
and Mrs. Francesca Krieger, the doc
tors. mother, all died in the same
house within the fifty-nine days upon
which DR.. Krieger based his count

the doctor, says she is not nor We're
any of her dead relatives spiritualists
but a noise like that of bedslat be-
ing ratified across a picket fence pre-
cedes each warning.
Then the rapping would begin in a
closet DR.. Krieger kept record of
these rappings on the wall of his
bedroom.

SAYS GOLDF|ELD
MINES UNSAFE
UNDERGROUND FOR YEARS
SAYS CAGES NEEDED
CROSsHEAD RIDING VERY DANGEROUS
Many Men May BE Killed Any Day
Climbing Perpendicular
Ladders.

James Heating, who has worked in
the mines throughout the west for
the past thirty-five years, and who
has been in camp for three months
looking over the situation, came into
the Tribune Office last night to criti-
CHE the system of hosting.
Il have had a look at some of your
mines, and they are all right" he
said Some of the best gold propo-
sitions that | have ever seen are right
here in Goldfield Good miners are
in charge of them, and it would be
hard to find any better miners in any
place in the world than those who
are working underground here. While
in Goldfield have climbed into many
a shaft, and have gone down on ropes
buckets and cages. | found the
shafts, as a rule, well timbered, but
those manways | do not like. The
ladders are straight up to any old
depth, and | predict that one of these
days some fellow climbing will drop
off and skin the entire bunch of the
miners following him up, and all will
go to their death.
The Cage For Him.
Il know well that a climb of so
or 100 feet after fellow gets off
shift is too much without rest and
that it should be done on an incline.
Again, | do not like this idea of rid
ing on a crosshead, and | will say
the same about that man-killer. With
four or five men riding on it one of
them will get caught on the guides
and then there will be an interesting
and desperate struggle. OF course,
you can let the cable slip through
your hands while reaching for the
bell cord, but in that effort the cross
head is liable to get loose and one of
the number, if he is wise to the game,
may have his leg twisted around that
cable and save his life, but for the
others, it is the big fall, as all can
not clutch that cable at the same
time The looped rope, the bucket,
or, hest of all, the cage for me, but
no crossheads. Tribune.
