SUGAR


Willett & Gray's Sugar Journal for
June 20 reports ON the raw sugar mar
Ket as follows:
VISIBLE SUFpLY.-Total stock OF
| Europe and America, 2,723,2iG tons,
against 3,07J,54l tons last year at the
same uneven dates. The decrease OF
stock is 352,295 tons, against a de-
crease of 280,720 tons last week. Total
stocks and ailoats together show a Wis
ible supply of 2,S43,246 tons, against
},1S5,541 tons last year, or a decrease
Of 1926 tons.
RAWS.-The retrograde movement
which we noted last week as having
begun in Europe and America con-
lIinued throughout the week under re-
view, the decline in the IT, S. reaching
02c. per h., the final quotations being
for centrifugals 90 test 3.71c per ID. for
spot and nearby and 2 7-16c. C. and f.
(equal to 3S0c. landed, value of July
shipment.
The amount OF business done was
not extensive, reaching only about CO.,
coo bags for the week.
Previous purchases for shipment
ahead, however, brought the receipts
into the U. S. four ports up to 42,550
tons, which is less than former weekly
receipts for some time.
Meetings. were Al 900 tons. Stocks
in the U. S. and Cuba together GS9, 24G
tons against 723,696 tons last week
and 625,5 tons last year
Cuba crop receipts were 1000 tons,
bringing the visible crop to 1883, 900
tons against 1,105,00O tons to same
time last year. Exports for the week
from the Cuban six ports alone were
1890 tons insuring continued full re-
ceipts at the U. S. ports.
European markets We're extremely
dull and declined 115d. from the high
est point of the week to 9s. sgd at
The close for beet sugar. Futures are
quoted 9s sgd. for October-Decembe
delivery.
The weather for the growing beef
crops is reported by cable as favorable.
The fact that Great Britain has vir-
tually decided to give notice of with
draWal from membership in the Brus-
sells Convention one year from LIST Of
September next is the most important
feature of the moment, as it again
opens the question of bounties to the
uncertainties of the future after Sep
TENDER /, 1868.
The downward reaction here seems
to have expended itself, there being a
better disposition shown to take sug-
ars at present quotation, and, with the
seasonable weather which has finally
set in, there should result soon q
marked Increase in demand for the re-
fined product.

YARNS FROM THE SEA
BUMPED BY WHALE

Seattle, Wash, June 81. The
whales have arrived in the Gulf of
Georgia on their migration to the
Alaskan waters, which they seem to
recognize as the best feeding grounds
il the world. The salmon are run
ming north and the whales and por-
poises follow them up, feasting as
they go.
The leviathans are more numerous
than ever this year and are doing
stunts never before heard of in Puget
sound waters. A short time ago the
fishing schooner Libby, Captain A. C.
Christensen, bumped into big whale

We were coming down from Val

SEEN FROM AMY TURNER

San Francisco, Cal, June ga
fierce fight between a thrasher and a
whale was witnessed at the entrance
OF the harbor at noon yesterday by
Captain Warland and crew of the
Lark Amy Turner, Inward bound
from Honolulu. Captain Warland is
an old and seasoned mariner and has
seen many strange sights in the deep.
The battle, he says was one of the
worst of it's kind while it lasted, only
lacking the presence of swordfsh
tc make it CORY. Thrashers and
swordfish usually combine against
their enemy, the whale, and invari-
ably finish the leviathan in short Or
der.
The Amy Turner had just passed
In through the Heads when a great
disturbance of the water was observ-
cd short distance astern. Suddenly
a huge thrasher shot clear of the
water and made 1.-THE turn that
brought its tail down with a re-
sounding thud upon the body of
whale that rose to the surface. Dis
appearing under the blow, the whale
left wide area Of seething water.
While the crew of the Amy Turner
watched, awe-stricken by the ferocity
and magnitude of the sea battle, the
whale and its relentless enemy again
appeared off to one side of the YES
sell both having covered an incred-
ible distance in the few moments in
tervening since the previous attack.
The combat continued to wage fierce
L. for half hour and could be plain
ly seen by all on deck. 1t was a
source of some surprise to the mari
rers to witness the ferocity with
which the huge fish fought. But it
was apparent that the thrasher was
fa st subduing its big antagonist, soon
to leave its dead body adrift off the
Heads

May 9.-We are having some cloudy
weather at the present threatening
rain, which is much wanted.
Our prominent mining man, L. q.
Maynn, has again gone to the city,
on business concerning the mine.
They are now starting more men to
work and are talking of having the
mill in running order In few days.

The Mines are Still Closed.

The strike situation In this town
remains unchanged, nothing new hav-
ing developed during the past week.
On Monday night Ii. q. Stevenson,
secretary of the Utica Gold Mining
Company, arrived here and IN con-
versation with The Record stated that
the Utica company fully endorsed the
stand taken by superintendent Martin.
He stated that the action was under
instructions from the company and
that had he not have acted as he did.
they would have discharged him and
employed superintendent who would
have carried out their orders.
tie further stated that all rum ors
about compromise was only idle
talk, as the company would in no way
listen to such proposition and that il
the mine at any time resumed work
it would be on the old basis of wages.
The superiEtendents of the Lightner
and Angels mines say that they will
not operate their properties, except
under the old order of wages.
As result, the outlook is far from
bright and at present it looks as
though this town, with its record as
one of the busiest on the Mother
Lode, would soon be thing of the
past. The cutting off of monthly
payroll of $4,000 is a serious pro.
position and means that the merchants
of Angels Camp will have to look
elsewhere for investment. In fact
one of the largest firms here, that oi
Lagomarsino Brothers, have now
commenced preparations for dis
continuing their business.
This means that the real sufferers,
in addition to the merchants, will be
those who by their thrift and industry
have tablished themselves in differ.

the workmen who have built theiI
homes, but will now have to seek elm
ployment elsewhere. Angels Record.

STARTS WITH DIME
ENDS WITH $1,000.

''t'rom shoestring to tannery"
was the remark that greeted Jack
Connor, soldier of fortune," as he
walked from the door of the Monte
Cristo gambling house with 5000 of
the houses gold in his pocket after a
stay of few hours. Connors had
entered the palace of chance without
a cent. lie saw 10 cents on the floor
and this he picked up. 1t was the
foundation OF his fortune.
He had been in Goldheld but few
short hours when he went into the
Monte Cristo. On the floor his eye
connected with 10-cent piece. He
picked up the coin from the floor and
walking over to a nearby roulette
wheel, placed it on "l7," the gam
bler's number. There was a heavy
play at the time, but little attention
was paid to Connor's bet. Seventeen
IN the black drawIed the dealer,
and calmly proceeded to take and pay
the numerous bets strung out on the
layout. '.Thirty-fve for one, and
your money back" dIawled the
dealer as he laid three dollars and a
four bit piece beside the dime.
Connors picked up the money and
elbowed his way to a faro game.
Luck was still with him, and as he
won he increased the size of his bets.
The Monte Cristo has the highest
limit of any house in town, 500 in
cases, and Connors was not long in
reaching 1t. The pikers soon quit,
and he had the layout to himself for
the greater part of the time, with a
dense crowd gathered around the
table watching the play. Time after
time did he call the turn, until, at
last, weary of the game, he cashed in
s65O0 winner off a dime which he
found on the floor.

in 1876, and N. Il. Young made the
first survey preliminary to organiza-
tion. furnished the first supplies,
and did the first work, and put on
the first men to run the tunnel.
Benjamin Ross did the surveying,
and carried the flag. We found the
tunnel had to be Zoo feet long, COM
ing out at south branch 43 feet q
inches lower than the old tunnel. All
the years the Volcano fiat has been
