Freak Corn a,d Otner,Dise.

Mr.. r. u. Welsh, one of the
higAly successful farmers of this
vicinity, has left at this office
a curiosity in tho way of four
ears of corn in one shuck. The
grains on each ear are we'll de
veloped. The corn is of Woods
white improved variety. With
this exception, in a field of q
acres, which yielded $50 bushels
of measured corn, the ears are
of the regulation kind.
Mr.. Welsh has made this wear
an unusually fine crop of corn.
He has already gathered 1000
bushels off a three-horse farm and
is not yet through hauling up

Joins HUSBAND
IN NEVADA Mines

PALO ALTO. Oct. 9.-Palo Alto
and university society was surprised
to hear of the marriage OF Miss Anna
Spencer of this place and James
Kirkup OF Tonopah today. The mar
riage took place at the San Jose
court house February 4th, and has
never been revealed even to the clos
est friends of the former Miss Spen-
Ger. At family dinner last night,
at which the additional guests were
the Misses Jessie and Helen McGil-
vray, Bertha Berner, Frances Malon-
ey, Della Carsons, Mr.. and Mrs. John
Mitchell, A. Berner and Mrs r. T.
Evans, the marriage was announced.
In the center of the table was an
elaborate oral piece, from which nu-
merous ribbons spread. The guests
were told to pull these ribbons, and,
to the surprise of all assembled, they
found at the ends cards reading:
Mrs. James Kirkup. nee Miss Anna
Spencer, February 4. 1907" Mrs.
Kirkup is the eldest daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. John Spencer of this place
and has resided here for five years,
during which time she has become
popular, both here and at the univer-
sity, where she was a student for
three years. The marriage of her
brother, Albert Spencer, to one of
the McGilvray girls short time ago
was one of the largest social events
of the season.
Mr.. Kirkup is member of fine,
old Colusa county family and is 4
successful mining man of Nevada.

Kirkup's brother at Round Mountain.

stated to reporter over year ago
that he considered the people of this

COPPER Mines
SHUTTING down
GREENE CANANEA COMPANY
HAS LAID OFF ONE THOU
SAND EMPLOYEES.

SALT LAKE, Oct. IA message
received over the Pollock wires to-
day contained the information that
the Greene-Cananea Copper company
had laid OFF 1000 men at Cananea,
Mexico. properties.
1t cost the Greene-Cananea COM
pany IA cents pound to produce
copper last year Because of i'm
provements being made at the smell
ter and labor saving devices installed
in the mine, it is said the company
has managed to lower the cost con-
siderably-to somewhere around ~
cents pound.
With copper selling at present
market quotations, the margin of
profit Is so narrow that the manage
ment has concluded to practically
cease production altogether
From Butte the information has
come that the situation there is de-
cidedly blue. Only a few mines are
working and 5000 men who have
been employed in them have been
thrown out of employment. Three of
the Heinze properties were closed
several days ago.
The working force at the Copper
Queen mine at Bisbee, Arizona. has
also been reduced to the number of
$50 men, while the Shattuck COM
pany, also operating in Arizona, has
reduced its shipments rs per cent.
The Utah copper mines appear TO
be the only ones which have not been
seriously affected by the recent drop
in copper. Outside of the closing of
few low grade propositions in Bing-
ham and Beaver county, but which
has been made up for by the increas-
ed production of the Utah Copper
company-there have been few
changes in the old order of things.

AZURE IN LINIELIGHT.
Copper District West of Nina Affords
Opportunity for Mine Makers,

A correspondent of the Goldfield
Chronicle writes as follows concern
ing the new camp of Azurite:
Azurite is situated on the line of
the Tonopah & Goldfeld railroad,
about forty-two miles west of Tono-
pah and twenty-one miles west of
Nina, seven miles east of old Can
delaria mines that have made such a
remarkable piece of history in the
glorious old times of Nevada. We
have a number of mines in the camp
that are in operation and some of
them are remarkably rich strikes of
the kind. Notable among these are
the Azurite group of claims owned
by Messrs. Miller, Williams, Drew
and Mcleod. These parties have a
copper deposit extending over four
claims that is easy traceable for
1000 feet and have personally look
ed the ground over. There are
twenty-four openings on the ledge,

From the surface the formation Is
exceptionally good, being granite and

attic The assays SO far taken by
these people range from SIG to sos,
the values being largely copper.
The Copper Queen group, just one
and one-half miles north of this, has
a strong lode and values ranging
from few cents to SIS. Messrs.
Mcneil and company have silver
property that has a fine showing and
force of men is at work here de-
veloping the property. The Silver
Summit mines have force at work.
A shaft is down 125 feet on this
property and they are crosscutting
the ledge. They have had silver val

BLAST UNCOVERS'
VERY RICH ORE

GRASS VALLEY. Oct. S.-One OF
the richest strikes in this vicinity for
years has been made at the Kenosha
mine on Deadman's Flat, about three
miles south Of here. The strike was
made while blasting for tank at the
SOO-foot level. Where the rich pay
chute will end is problematic.
AT the bottom of the shaft, GOV.
cred with 100. feet of water, lies one
of the richest lodges ever struck in
the district. Samples, it is said, have
assayed 100000 to the ton. The
company will have a big pump at
work in a few days and the mine will
be drained. Extensive operations
will then commence.

THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK.

John w. Gates, the Chicago plum
ger who recently drew out of Wall
street heavy loser, is quoted cpl
dramatically on the stock market.
He is said to have remarked that the
present situation makes him think
of a poker game in which all the big
winners have pulled out and left a
lot OF pikers trying to get even on
each other. The description is so
perfect that 1t leaves little more to be
said.
The great spectators have either
won or lost SO heavily during the
months since March that they have
lost interest in the game. 1t is es-
timated that the decline in securities
for the current year exceeds a billion
and three quarters, so it is easy to
believe most of the heaviest holders
have very little speculative fever left
in them; and the general public,
which is almost Invariably attracted
by rising market, has been wiped
out by the continuous decline and
painful calls for margins.
| In spite of the treemndous shock
to speculation, the commercial and
manufacturing business of the coun-
try holds 1t owns remarkably we'll.
Railroad freight deliveries are still
slow enough to arose. profanity
among shippers; the equipment OF
the great railroad systems is entirely
inadequate to meet the demands on
1t; banks which shy at loans on ordi-
nary stocks and bonds find employ
ment for their funds in the legitimate
field of commerce and industry Only
the steel and iron and copper mar
kets show marked depression and in
these the conditions are, if anything.
slightly better than they were thirty
days ago.
Part of the approximations on the
part of financiers which was due to
fear of the president S speeches this
week, has been allayed by assurances
that the presidents worst spasm Of
frustrating and corporation-hunt-
4 ing had passed, and his speeches are
to be models of conservative com
monplace. The copper situation,
which is of such vital concern to the
west, promises to improve with the
curtailment of prices which ought
naturally to follow the sale of SUR
plus stocks,
Altogether the financial outlook is
rather more cheerful than it has been
for some months, though no sudden
rise in stock values is expected nor is
1t likely there will be any such car
nival OF speculation as characterized
the closing months of 1906. The bic
| winners have drawn out as Mr.. Gates
! says, and it will be quite a while be-
fore they will feel like taking a
chance on the mammoth scale which
marked their dealings of last year.

PENNILESS Lad
LOOKS FOR FATHER

Penniless and without a friend o.
relative I'm the entire city to whom hN
could turn, Eugene McKelligan, 10
year-old boy from Los Angeles, step
ped of the train in Reno this MORN
ing. thinking that he was within }
few miles of Schurz, New. and to
meet his father, NJ. ]. McKelligan, a
mining man of that place. When
the little fellow was told that he was
many miles from Schurz. he was
heartbroken and went to the Office of
Chief Leeper, who has telegraphed
the postmaster at Schurz for inform
alton regarding the child's father.
Until he hears from Schurz, Chief
Leeper will care for the child.
The boy stated that he was sent
from Los Angeles by his mother, who
gave him just enough money to take
him to Reno, telling him that Schurz
was only a few miles from Reno and
that he could meet his father there.
The little fellow remained in this be-
lief until he reached Reno, and got
of the train. He then made in
quiries regarding the place and found
that he was far from his destination.
The boy claims that his father is
well-to-do mining man of Schurz, and
that he has been there for the past
two years. The boy is on visit to
his father, whom he has not seen for
some time-Reno Gazette.
