Both DR.. Wunder and DR. Leonard
expressed regret at the affair. but
stated as they believed for the time
that the patient was temporarily in

adopted to prevent him killing some

The affair created intense excitement
in the neighborhood, the frantic screams
OF Mrs. Bowers from the window over

KANSAS CITY, July 18th, 1907.- Cattle receipts this week are the heaviest of the year, 5000 head, including 22.000 cattle and two thousand calves in the Southern division. Supply in the native
 division has consisted of both fed and grass stock, cows and heifers, all classes we'll distributed and the market stronger on all kinds ex- cept that too many calves have arrived and they are 50 cents lower. Practically nothing from q distance has been here, outside of few calves from the Panhandle, which sold at $5.50 to $6.50.

SANTA CRUZ COUNTY.

Mir. Frank Powers of the Worlds Fair mine is making 8 shipment of 400 tons of high grade ore, and keeps three large teams on the road conveying the rock to Pata- gonia.
 At Patagonia. Sunday night, Lieutenant William Olds and Ser geant Jeff Kidder captured Colney Musgrave, man wanted in Texas for horse stealing. The man es- caped from the Texas authorities several years ago, and has been in Arizona and Sonora ever since. He is a brother of George Musgrave, one of the desperadoes in the Black Jack gang, which was broken up several years ago. At the time of the capture the officers thought they had George, but learned later the identity of their prisoner, who they knew was wanted in Texas.
 At the National Consolidated Camp work is progressing in the main working shaft on the Silver Glance mine, which shaft Is now at a depth of nearly 100 feet. The ledge out from which the good shipping ore was taken through the incline shaft, which pitches toward the main shaft, is close now to the working in the per pendicular shaft, and will be cut shortly. When that is done a drift will be run along the ledge to cut under the incline shaft and connect herewith with an upraise. That will drain the incline, where work has been stopped by a super abundance of water.
 At the Mansfield Camp the Mansfield Company are installing a pumping plant and an air com pressor at the main shaft, to pump out that working, where water had been gaining, and will sink the shaft to depth of 800 feet at once. Roy & Titcomb are installing for them at that place 100-h. D.. boiler. In the Black Cap property of the same company there has been developed a large body of high grade sulphide ores, from which shipments are being made. Upon the Sweet ledge, some dis tance away from the main working shaft another shaft has been started, and from that working there is being taken ore that shows high values in gold, silver and copper. It is reported that assays have shown values of 80 ounces per ton in silver, $30 gold, and l5% copper.

EASTERN MONEY

R. ]. Evans Gets a Good Line
on Mining Situation
in New York.
CURB TRADING is LIVELY
INDICATING SLUMP OF LAST
SPRING is OVER.
CURB TRADING is LIVELY

K. J. Evans, secretary of the Federal
Ely company, who went east on mining
business early in the month, reached
home again yesterday morning, having
accomplished all that he went away for
Mr.. Evans stated during the day that he
was not in a position to talk for publica-
ton concerning the business that he was
few days until the story could be told
From my observations while in New
\ DIRK, said Mr.. Evans, 81 should say that
the next few months will witness the
placing of a great deal of new money in
Dtah and other western mining enter
prlSeS. Brewers, operators and promoters
all agree that the mining business is 60
ing to receive great deal of attention
during the remainder of the year. and
this notwithstanding the fact that the
promotion of wildcat companies has
friendly toward the industry. 1t is freely
admitted that the opportunities to make
money are just as inviting in the mining
field as in any other other, however and
that, when the same precautions are ia
ken In the mining business that prudent
men use In any other, the chances for
success are just as numerous, while the
profits are usually many times better.
The New York curb is getting lively
again. Last spring, when the slump
came, the number of traders on the curb
1t is nothing to see from $50 TO zoo fighting
wildly to execute orders for mining
stocks. The New York curb is the life
of the market and now that IL is getting
into full swing again. it means that bust
ness is getting back to normal"

tirely across the dike's extent More than
100 feet in width of porphyritic quartz;

duces gold. The condition is one of the
most remarkable ever reported and is re-
garded one of the wonders of this state
by visiting mining men. The company Is
engaged in trenching the dixie, the under
surface ore of which is richer and the
shoots are widening. Late developments
are proving of great interest locally, Reno,
Carson. Virginia City and G0ldfield being
heavily interested.
The WaIkover mine, controlled by Salt
Lake, GOldfield and FairvieW people, is
proven a shipper from the grass roots
Within two weeks OF commencing active
development q three-foot vein of $3.50 ore
was uncovered. 1t was cut with q tunnel
twenty-five feet below surface The rich
vein was at first thought TO be on the
hanging wall of the dixie, but subsequent
tunneiing has demonstrated the ledge is
considerably wider. More than twenty
feet beyond the strike has been crosscut
with no wall showing. More rich veins Of
ore have been found. The ledge is be-
tween Is and 100 feet wide.
The extreme northeast part of the dis
trict is prominent because of the Ramsey
ings consist of six claims, known as the
Bennett group. Four parallel lodges and
numerous cross assures have been uncov-
cred and the most promising prospects ex-
list. The upper ledge is sixty feet between
walls and contains several large ore
shoots. These ore bodies have been un-
covered with incline and vertical shafts
drifts and crosscuts and represents a
large tonnage of ore. Porphyritic quartz
and a harder blue quartz carrying sui
phideS, is exposed. Adequate machinery
for deep mining will soon be installed
Oakland San Francisco and local capital
is behind the enterprise.

GETTING DOWN TO WORK
AT DERN'S NEVADA MINE

A. l.. Wisker who for the present is
superintendent of the property recently
purchased from the Choate brothers. in
Kings River district, came in from that
camp Tuesday He states that he has
lei two contracts for development work
and as soon as Mr.. Dern and number
of eastern men arrive, which VIII be
about Aug. J. a number of other con-
tracts will be let 1t is the intention of
the Dern people to DO aggressive work
on this property and as soon as possible
to determine its extent and value, says
the Humboldt Star.
There mas been considerable work
done on the property and the showings
there are equal to the best in the state
for the depth attained Some of the
workings have penetrated the sUtphide
zone and proved the fact that the ores
retain their high values below the water
line.
The commencement of operations on
the Dern property has stimulated pros
pectihg all over the camp and most of
the claim owners are working their
claims.
James Robins (''Bannock JIM. an old
and experienced prospector, who has
braved the battles of many mining
camps, has located some interesting prop
erty near the Dern mine and where he
has done work and exposed the ledge

The Kings River district Is noted for
its free gold ores, and arraStras were lun
in this camp for a number of years with
success. Lately large deposits of copper
and lead ores have been discovered, some
of which are exceedingly rich.
Kings River district is situated about
sixty miles north Of Winnemucca and
has an abundance of wood and water for
mining purposes. number OF ranches
are in the near vicinity OF the miEes,

MINING STOCK EXCHANGE.
Black Jack, Star Con. and Mountain
Lake Do Some Stunts.

The week on the mining stock exchange
opened with lively trading in a number
OF stocks and while the best prices of the
day prevailed at the start interest was
keen right through to the finish. During
the two regular and open board calls a
total of q, 925 shares of stock, with a SELL
ing value of $77,6S7, changed hands. Black
Jack and Star Consolidated. as result of
the combination of the two or rather the
sale of the Star to the Black Jack COM
pany, were both active and strong. Black
Jack started at Csc and advanced to Sic
closing at soc. Star Consolidated opened
at 65c, but the liberal offerings made it
apparent that the price could not hold and
it rapidly receded to DOC. 1t then turned
and went to Soc, closing at SEC. Mountain
Lake was another that opened too high
and from 99c it dropped back to soc, but
even at that price it is several cents high
er than it was at the close of last week.
Crown Point was strong at 81 to SIC, and
the belief is that it is marked up for
substantial advance over these figures
during the present month. The rest of the
list behaved well and the character of
trading made il look certain that the
week would be a banner one for the year.
Following is the list of final quotations
and record of sales made during the day:

BROWN PALACE READY

of the Brown Palace management has
been one of conservatism The property
is one that has not needed advertising. It
has been the idea of Messrs. Parkhurst
thoroughly prospect and develop the

ments once begun, they could be cOntin-
ued regularly and urinteTruptedly. That
point has now been reached.
