a scandal on Mcdonald, and then
showed him an affidavit signed by
Kanter, or Renter. He askeu Mr..
Booth to see Mcdonald, and thus
save the foreman a lot of trouble.
In this story Kennedy told Mr.. Booth
that it was McDonald's little girl who
had asked for the five dollars, and
had received it from Sovich, or So
brich. it was so stated in the affi-
davit of Kanter, or Renter.
Mr.. Booth sent special Western
Union messenger to the house of Mr.
Mcdonald, and the latter came to
the Bonanza Office and was informed
of what had passed.
The foreman of the mine told him
that he would not be blackmailed,
as he was innocent of any such
charge. He grew excited at the ref
erence to his little girl, and declared
that she was not yet three years of
age. Mr.. Booth went back with this
answer to Kennedy, and Kennedy,
seeing that the job of blackmail had
failed, evidently went to the length
of going to the Sun.
The transaction mas the appear
ance of dirty piece of business, and
nothing further need be said of the
paper that. published the affidavit.
The men Kenter, or Kanters, and
Sovich, or Sobrich, are not known to
the miners union, and the payrolls
of the Tonopah Mining Company, as
far back as last June, will show that
no such men ever worked in the
mine. Everybody connected with the
job seems to be of shady character.
The affidavit has been changed since
Mr.. Booth saw it in the hands of
Kennedy. 1t then read that 1t was

ing the employment of Slav labor,
for which foremen of the mines were
receiving a drawdown. The affidavit
does not appear to have been signed
in the presence of any notary, the
article stating that the name of the
notary is withheld. The affidavit
says that Mrs. Mcdonald told Sovich,
after he had paid the child the five
dollars, to report to her husband for
work on the following morning,
Last night there was published in
the Sun another story from Edward
Kennedy, the man who was arrested
for robbing sluice boxes at Round
Mountain. In this story it was
charged that w. w. Booth, proprietor

a little girl of Mr.. Mcdonald that
asked for the money, and in the Sun
it reads that it was a child.
Kennedy says in the Sun last night
that Mr.. Booth went to McDonald's
house. This is a lie. The Sun, on
its own behalf, says last night that
the visit of Booth to the Mcdonald
home was mentioned by Mrs. McDon-
aid, when she used the words: II
wouldn't let Dan give Booth the hum
dred dollars for Kennedy"
Mrs. Mcdonald denies using such
language at the Office of the Sun, and
her husband, who was with her when
she went to the Sun to make denial
of the affidavit, also declares that
she said nothing of the kind. That
they are both speaking the truth, and
that the editor of the Sun concocted
the story for his own benefit is evil
dent from the fact that Mr.. Booth
has never been in the Mcdonald
home, and does not know where it is.
The Sun states that Mr.. Booth
made affidavit to what has been said
above on Thursday night when, as
matter of fact, the affidavit of Mr..
Booth was made on the 14th of the
month, four days before the Renter
affidavit was published in the Sun.
Kennedy. in his statement, says that
Mr.. Booth is trying to lay this thing
at the door of the miners union"
oh. no, Mr.. Kennedy, that is not the
idea at all Mr.. Booth is laying the
matter just where it should be laid
at your own door. Mr.. Booth states
that Kennedy represented himself as
committee from the miners union.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.


The Strength of southern Pacific IN
creases Bull Feeling.
New York, July 24-The action of
Southern Pacific today, which rose to
80 IL, was regarded as strongly con-
tirmatory Of the conviction that an in
crease in the dividend rate is imminent
1t was learned that the directors would
be in Session tomorrow and the execu-
tive committee later This information
was considered to indicate that a period
of speculative activity in Southern Pa
cific would, almost certainly intervene
before dividend action shall be an
nounced. The professional traders fol =
lowed the movement on this SUPPOSE
ton, industriously Some of the rumors
dividend action were not content with
asserting the intention to raise the rate
to 6 per cent, but insisted on a COM
ing per cent. rate.
The official estimates of the years
earnings showed balance of $23,757-
1S6 after the allowance for the divi-
dend on the present outstanding pre-
ferred stock. This is equivalent to
about - per cent. on the common
stock. The $50, 300, 600 of new preferred
stock, now in process OF payment, does
not vet draw dividends, the require
ment for which would be S2,500,000
each year. 1t will be seen that either
the 6 or Z per cent. dividend would
leave a large margin Of surplus In the
present rate of earnings The weight
of opinion in the trading element today
was in favor of the per cent. rate.
Union Pacific sympathized with the
junior security today. This served to
rectify the bad effect of Union Pa
cifics recent poor response to the move
ment in Southern Pacific, which threw
