Period of Bidding Up of Prices With
Frequent Profit Taking.

New York, Aug. 2S.--There was
another up-bidding Of prices on the
stock exchange to-day, interspersed
with frequent periods Of proflt-taking.
The days business was fairly large,
but again the bulk Of the trading was
i'm half a dozen issues-Reading, the
Harrimans Smelling, the Steel shares
and Amalgamated Copper. Some new
theories and conjectures were advance
ed to account for the rise in Southern
Pacific, which made another new high
record, but they were given no encour-
agement in official circles
Obviously the large short interests
which existed early in the week have
been put to rout if not completely
eliminated, Some commission houses
reported slight revival Of public in
terest but It may safely be said that
only small part of to-day's opera
lions came from that element. Com
scrvativo interests were quoted as de-
prcciating this latest outburst of en-
thusiasm, while admitting that gen.
eral conditions, including the cheap
ness Of money, make such move
comparatively easy,
The increased demand for bonds. a
conspicuous feature of the last few
days, has done much to- restore conf
dence In the market Crop advices at
hand to-day were in line with the en-
Couraging ncws of the early week, but
latest adVices from the flooded dis
tricts In tho south fully confirm pre-
vious dispatches telling of very heavy
damages to growing cotton and seri-
Gus losses in various industrial and
mercantile lines
The stock market became dull in
the early afternoon, but not until a
demonstration in Reading had carried
the stock up | "a points The buy
ing came from interests previously
identified with bull movements in that
stock, and was attended by rumors of
favorable developments In the prop
erty shortly In the group Of special
ties the, feature was Consolidated Gas,
which advanced over points on mod
erately large purchases A final de-
cision in the S0-cent gas case is ex.
pected before many weeks, and to-

result Of the day was hardly satisfac-
tory, some Of the more substantial

. FRIGHTFUL
ACCIDENT TO
AN ENGINEER

Bert Cameron, an engineer en-
ployed at the California-Pioche mine,
met with a frightful accident on
Thursday last while in the act of ap-
plying lubricants to the machinery
under his charge. In some inexplic-
able manner, his clothing became
caught in the cogs of the drive wheel
and, in an instant was drawn into the
very jaws of death. BY making one
heroic struggle, Cameron managed
to extricate himself, but not until
after his right hand had been literal
ly ground to pieces, an ear nearly
torn off, besides sustaining a bad
fracture of the skull and being other
wise cut and bruised about the neck
and body.

with blood flowing from his own
veins in perfect torrents, the wound
ed man had the presence of mind tc

MORPHINE WAS
UNDER STAMPS
OF The Letters

Warden Maxwell of the state
prison few days ago discovered an
ingenious method by which morphine
has been smuggled into the peniten-
tiary.
Lately there had passed through
the warden's hands number of let
tiers, all from the same person and
bedecked with 1-cent stamps, the
writer never using a 2-center. This
fact, while queer, did not arouse un-
due suspicion and probably would
have been passed by with little
thought had not letter arrived one
day to which l and 2-cent stamp
were affixed. Maxwell scanned the
missive closely. The letter was not
heavy and any writer should have
known that one stamp was sufficient
to carry it, and that first class mail
postage calls for cents for each half
ounce or fraction thereof.
The warden made a close eXamina-
ton and could find nothing inside or
out, on which to withhold the letter,
and was about to turn it over to the
prisoner to whom it was addressed.
Partly by accident he ran his letter
opener under one of the stamps, and
there poured forth from the puncture
small quantity of fine, white pow
der. Investigation proved it to b
morphine. Under the other stamI
also was a quantity of the drug, ant
the gummed flap of the envelope wa
buiged with the stuff.
Other letters were opened am
more morphine was found conceale'
in the same manner. Needless u
say, none of the missive reached tn
parties for whom they were intended

The Broken Hills mine at Helena /,
was examined on Wednesday and
Thursday by the eminent geologist
and mineralogist, j. D. Caldon of
Denver, who has had wide expert
ence around the world, having been
associated with Cecil Rhodes in
South Africa and with the Ventura
company in America. Mr.. Caldon
had heard many good reports of the
Goldfield district, and when he learn
ed that one of his old friends, Mr.. j.
G. Mccormack, pioneer of Gold
field, was interested in the Broken
Hills mine, he went out to see the
property and on his return said to
reporter:
II examined the Broken Hills
mine and was surprised to find the
lodes absolutely cropping to grass
roots. The lodes are fully $50 feet
wide and the walls not yet encount-
cred. The gangue of the vein or vein
matter consists of conglomerate or
basalt. Numerous stringers through
the vein matter consist of Manganese
dioxide. These stringers show free
gold and silver; in other words, in
geology or minerology it would be
called petite ore, which is the same
as is found in the Little Johnny mine
in Leadville. The country rock is
porphyritic cyanite and birds eye
porphyry.
II found from grass roots an in
cline shaft at an angle of about A
degrees sunk to depth of abou
seventy-five feet to the northwest
thence a Wine sunk to a depth o
eight-five feet, all on vein matter
and at the bottom of the shaft o
winze was some of the handsomes
ore that | encountered. Walls no
vet reached. I must state that 1t
exactly the same as is found in tn
upper levels of the Comstock lode
Virginia City, and the character
the ore is absolutely the same. A
it requires is development, and
present the company should place
mill at once to handle the ore that
now thrown over the dump, an
every pound of rock handled woul
pay for treatment. A mill is r
quired at once, and an open CT
should be made on the property,
run to the southeast, and as thu
will then have an abundance OF O
to keep a sixty-stamp mill going +
the next twelve months. | wou
recommend also the sinking of
three-compartment shaft to hand
the ore below this cut. This is VIII
the Homestake mine did in South D
kota, and this property also paid t
itself from ore extracted from t
surface.

MAGNESIA BEDS
FOUND AT CUPRICE

Another discovery has been made
at Cuprite which may result In the
establishment of new enterprise
at that place, or at least in the pro-
duction of mineral heretofore not
found in this portion of the mining
country. In running a tunnel into
the hill for the purpose of penetrat-
ing one of the great bodies of native
sulphur which abound in the section,
"a vast deposit of almost apparently
pure magnesia has been exposed.
The tunnel has been driven dis
lance of something over fifty feet
and for a considerable distance the
bore is entirely in the snowy white
mineral which occurs in the forma-
ton in the form of stalactites. A
large sample of white mineral has
been brought to Goldfield by ELS
worth Oldt, and is now on exhibition
in the Main street window of c. F
Knapp.
The magnesia is of remarkable
degree of purity and there are ap
parently vast deposits of the min
eral at the point where it was open
ed, lying alongside and parallel will
the sulphur veins. Samples have
been sent to Cincinnati for analysis
and the result is awaited with tn,
keenest interest by mining men o
the district.

A Case Bounced Through"

Mr.. Sergeant Wilkins once defended
a breach of promise case for sim
gularly ugly little man, which case he
told the defendant, after reading his
brief. must be bounced" through.
And the sergeant did bounce it
through.
Gentlemen of the jury" he said, at
the close of a most eloquent speech,
you've heard the evidence for the
plaintiff; and, gentleman of the jury,
you have admired that most bewitch-
ing lady, the plaintiff herself. Gentle
men, do you believe that this enchant-
ing, this fascinating. this captivating,
this accomplished lady would for one
moment favor the advances or listen,
with anything save scorn and indig-
nation, to the amorous protestations
Of the wretched and repulsive homun-
culus. the deformed and degraded de-
fendant?"
His client looked up from the we'll of
the court, and piteously murmured:
Mr.. Sergeant wilkins! Oh, Mr.. Ser
geant Wilkins!"
"Silence. sir!" replied the sergeant
in a wrathful undertone. Gentle
men," he continued, bringing his fist
heavily down on the desk before him,
"do you think that this lovely lady,
this fair and smiling creature, would
ever have permitted an offer of mar
riage to be made to her by this misera-
BILE atom of humanity, this stunted
creature, who would have to stand on
sheet of nOtepaper to look over two
pence?"
