Emperor Nicholas VIII Not Go To st, Petersburg To Receive The Del-
 egates But Will Send His .GsreefinKs

St. Petersburg Nov. 11--Preparations have been completed for the opening of the third Russian Parliament No- vember 14, which will occur like the second Parliament, in the Tauride Pal ace, with very little ceremony.
 The current reports that Emporor Nicholas would come to St. Petersburg and receive the delegates personally at the winter palace, as on the convoca- ton of the first Parliament, are devoid of foundation.
 The step has been regarded as ob- Jectionab.e. Premier Stolypfn and the cabinet ministers will be present. After religious services M. GoIubeff, vice president of the council of the empire, will read the imperial ukase convening Parliament and brief greeting from the Emperor. which 1t is anticipated will be couched in warmer tone than his address to the radical second Par liament. M. Gobnleff will then invite the members to proceed to the election of president of the. house who. it is expected will be either Nickolai Ako- hoymyhoff, Octoberist. of Smoiensk, or M, Rodzianko, also an octoberist, of Ekaerinoslav.
 The extensive alterations of the Tau ride palace have been completed The ceilings which fell April f5 have been replaced g the halls redecorated.
 The prospects of the cooperation of the Octoberists and Constitutional Dem ocrats in a moderate liberal program are steadily improving. Both parties. however, rejected the ideas of fusion. At the Constitution Democratic con- gress at Helsin gfors. which was domi- mated by the Moderates, 1t was decided to shelve all demands for extreme re- forms which would produce the break down of the party. The Moderates will support the measures proposed by the Octoberists or the ministry. having the same general tendency as their pro- gram.
 The octobefist leaders, M. Plevoko of Moscow. and Alexander I. Guchkoff, also of Moscow. at the Octoberist con ference sounded the keynote of mod crate constitntionaiism.
 M. GuipkofI threw down the gauntlet to the reactionists In a toast to the Emperor, Who has broken with the dark past"

LOCAL SITUATION IS
 CRIPPL|NG THE CURES
Market Flooded with Selling Orders, Lack of Buyers
 Causing Fall.
(BY Frank j. Graf.l

Today's local market continues to be of selling nature, although there is no demand for stock, in fact its hard to get a bid on anything in the local market Calumet & Arizona opened strong but at the close was weak at S160. Superior & Pittsburg was offered freely the entire day with no demand and at the close was of fered at S1S.z1. North Butte and Butte Coalition also closeu weak Denn-AFiZona as we'll as Shattuck were without bids. American is of fered at S10.25 while Warren is being offered freely at S9.25 with no buy CTS. Greene Cananea showed weak ness and closed at S16.3S. The local market is neglected entirely and do not see much chance for improve ment till local matters are adjusted. The New York and Boston markets opened in good form but during the day there was considerable selling and caused the entire market to close at about the opening of the day. Cop per holds well at $24 1-2 to p cents, and money is easy at 1-2 per cent.

the Wheatley hotel, to fsmiliarize her self with the mode oi locating claims. rather than for any other purpose, re- located the property, and thought no more of it until the discovery made today.
 The strip of ground relocated by Mrs. Wheatley is but 300 feet wide at its greatest width, being weugs shaped, and often contemptuously re- ferred to as Mrs. wheatley's slice of cheese
 All these years, since relocating it, the property has lain neglected. at the very kitchen door of the Wheatley hotel.
 Great importance attaches to the find. inasmuch as it demonstrates that the territory lying between the ttDuplex'' and "Ne@ York Search light" property, which was thought to be barren, carries gold lodges that traverse the townsite for a great dis. tance.
 As the rock in the new discovery SC closely resembles the wonderful "Quartette" ore, preparations are be- ing made to develop the find on a large scale.
 Just how rich the new find is, is made apparent by the fact that the "Qusrtette" ledge is sixty feet wide three feet of which will assay Sl ,5OO to the ton in gold, the remainder averaging $50 a ton. It is thought Mrs. Wheatley's slice of cheese" will be fully as rich.

 AT KITCHEN DOOR

SEARCHIIGHT, New. April 1O.- At the very kitchen door of Mrs. Jack Wheatley, wife of one of Searchlight's $ pioneer settlers. and now one of the prominent business men of this city, g gold mine was discovered today un- der most extraordinary circum- stances.
 In the heart of the city, while ex- csyating for the foundation for a printing press, in an addition 10 the Searchlight News building, workmen uncovered rich ledge of quartz. that will assay thousands of dollars to the ton from it's grassroots.
 The outcrop is at least three feet in width, the ore being of the same gen. eral character as the rich copper yeined rock found in the famous "Quartette" mine.
 The discovery was made on the ''Litte Butte" fraction of the "Afi- zona" claim. The ledge passes under Buckler's store, situated in the heart of the business district of the camp. The store property attaches to the newly discovered ledge

 The New York and Boston markets today are fairly strong and prices are better in all stocks with the exception Of the Warren district line These are all suffering from the present lab or agitation and will suffer more yet, depending on the continuance of these troubles. Denn is $s.50 bid with but s10 asked. Warren $500 bid and $9 asked. Superior & Pittsburg is down to SIS bid, and s18.50 asked. The bears are having their own way with Warren district stocks, SO that it has caused thousands upon thousands of dollars of loss to the holders of these securities already, and many of these are hard working miners.

These should be bouaht evdry time the market shows indications of a re- newal of panicky symptoms. There are great speculative possibilities in Old Dominion, Boston Consolidated and Greene Cananea. Among the very low priced speculative coppers, those that look most attractive to me are Michigan, East Butte. Boston Corbin, Utah Apex. Boston Ely and Helvetia. I think all the latter stocks should be bought at the present level of prices.

 Aside from c. 7s A. the listed stocks in the Boston market were ali strong CT at the opening but at noon broke back and went to two points below the opening figures. The local issues are all suffering heavily on account of the unsettled labor conditions. Calu- met & Arizona fell five points. Sup erior & Pittsburg is coming out around S1S25. Shattuck and Denn are weak. Warren and American are also suffering. The east is very pes simistic over the situation and it is hard to get bid out of the east at anything like quotation prices oa To- cal stocks. Greene issues are quiet and fractionally lower. From present indications think most of the Bisbee stocks a sell as you will probably be able to buy again cheaper before long
