A BIG TREASURY
Insiders Take First 100000
Shares of Treasury Stock
at so Cents a Share.

At meeting of the directors of the King
David Mining company. held Thursday af-
ternoon. David Evans. Jesse Knight and
the other organizers of the corporation
authorized the issuance of 100000 shares
of treasury stock at SOC a share and
bought it all themselves. This gives the
which to inaugurate the campaign of de-
velopment and equip the mines.
I'VE did not even wait for the compile
ton of the organization" said Manager
David Evans yesterday. Ito get work
started Grading and clearing off the
ground for the shaft and hosting works
near the west side lines OF the Horn Sill
yer mine was commenced several days
ago. and sinking will soon be under way
1T was decided at the meeting yester-
day that a pipe line should be put in from
the Moorehouse springs without delay, and
the work will be started at once. We shall
probably start with five-inch main and
gradually draw down to two inches at the
mine end of the five-mile stretch. As
these springs are located at point Loo
to 500 feet higher than the collar of our
shaft we shall be. able to get good
pressure through the pipe line. AS We
shall likely put up steam hosting works.
we shall need this water as soon as we
can get the ditch dug and the pipe laid
Manager Evans stated that firSt-class
equipment. including compressor plant
and other facilities for heavy and rapid
development would be provided and before
long the company would be opening its
ground al several points.
With the "sinews of war; provided In
such generous amount and with an assur-
ance that ore will be encountered In the
new shaft, or close to Ii within month or
two. the King David company enters upon
its career under auspices many times more
favorable than most big corporations.

located he said that great deal or nay
was being cut.
Mr. Craig saws that. outside of the
work being done by the big companies, the
camp is not moving as rapidly as II might
do. though ii is evident to any observer
that Ely is going to become a bigger
camp than the most optimistic OF I'M
initiated can comprehend at the present
time Many properties In that dlstricI
other than those now controlled py the
few big companies, will be brought TO
the front by and by, and even now ne
is able to see where the Federal COM

YER|NGTON HAS
ANOTHER Mine
Yerington Copper Company
Has Big Body of SulphldeS
400 Feet Deep.

Joseph +. Game. manager of the Yer
ington Copper companys properties in the
East Yerington district. was down from
Brighton. where he is rusticating with his
family. yesterday. He was held up long
enough 10 secure an admission that big
strike had been made in the property,
though he pleaded that II was several days
since he had heard from the mine
Il know that the shaft is down 400 Feet,
and that a fine body OF chalcopyrite ore
has been encountered in the cross-cut
from the bottom" said Mr. Game. but
Il Is several DAYS since | heard from the
superintendent and l therefore do NOT
know what has been happening since. He
had cross-cut toward the contacts four
teen feet when he wrote to me. but ne
must have gone considerable distance
since. As the shaft went out OF the VEN
about half way down. the bottom was IN
the lime foot wall country and the expee-
tation was that some distance would have
10 he covered to tap the ledge again. IL
is evident however, that the vein is either
a great deal thicker below or that the ore
makes out into the lime. | am inclined 10
think the latter Is the case.
Arrivals from camp state that the cross
cut had been sent out thirty-four feet IN
the ore last Sunday, with nothing to lndl-
cate when its limits would be determined.
Yerngton mining men and engineers VINO
have seen the property make the state
rpent that II is going to make as dig a
mine as there is in that section.

on doing down in Beaver county, IT can
he stated that they yesterday followed
up their purchase of 100000 shares of
King David treasury stock at SOC by TAX
ing over $500 shares of Indian Queen
stock at the quoted market price of 12lsc
a share OF the 100000 shares at first
put out. 1900 shares were sold in the
market The purchase of yesterday by the
chief owners of the property, cleans up
that issue and gives the treasury a fine
balance for the further prosecution OF
work in the long tunnel now being driven
with power drills.
This property Is located a couple OF
miles east of Newhouse. and the character
of the country being developed Is such
that the owners are banking on making
another big mine there. While the oo-
1ecttve point Of the tunnel is a long way
ahead. some fine mineral-bearing assures
have already been cut in the tunnel.

nounced Saqginq Tendency.

The local mining share market continues
to sag and it looks now as though stocks

the situation Is not at all assuring. Save

Apples at S1OO Each,

In some of the very expensive Lon
don restaurants you can order a spe-
cial dessert that will cost you any
where from $25 to $3.50.
These deserts will consist of dain.
ties in the way Of fruit, which the
greater part Of the world has been
ransacked to provide.
OF all fruits, Zanzibar apples are
perhaps the raTest. Dozens of trees
together will only bear a few OF these
apples. and the time for picking them
has to be carefully selected; they
must be gathered just a month ber re
they would ripen. otherwise they will
very quickly go bad.
These apples have been sold in Eng
land at S100 apiece, and, OF course,
have to be specially ordered, for no
fruiterer would ever dream of keep
ing them in stock.
Custard apples are another expen-
sive luxury. They can be purchased
at prices ranging from rs cents to $25
each, according to quality, and, accord
ing to those whose judgment in such
matters is considered to be absolute
ly correct, must be eaten with pepper
and salt.
A gentleman not long since went
into well-known fruiterers in Re-
gent street and offered $3.50 to the
manager if ne could provide enough
Strawberries for five people that eve
ming.
Seventeen gardens provided the re-
Quired amount of strawberries, and by
$3.50 that evening the fruit was deliv-
cred at a cost of nearly $3.50 for each
strawberry.
! The manager of well-lnown fruit
erer's establishment in the West End
informed the writer that lots of people
who see high-priced fruit in the win
dow will buy it just to see what it
tastes like" and in this way these
samplers" as they are called by the
trade, are considerable source OF
profit to many of the high-class fruit
erers.-Stray Stories.

We heard man say the other morn

that man looked frozen in his ulster. 1t
was apparent that he needed the kind
of warmth that stays, the warmth that

Relic of a Sea Fight.

Capt. G.. A. Dean of 40 Howard
avenue, Dorchester, has an interest.
ing relic of a civil war sea fight which
revives in memory the sudden and
disastrous assault of the old-time
federal frigate Merrimac on the U.
s. ships Congress and Cumberland at
Newport News. 1t is a Bible, very,
old, and, by the dog ears on it's mar.
gins, much read.
The Merrimac was a 40-gun screw
frigate, built for the government in
1855. On April 10, 1861. when the
Norfolk navy yard was abandoned by
the federals, the Merrimac and other
vessels lying there were sunk. She
was raised by the confderates, who
cut her down to the berth deck, and
on the midship section built q case
ment Of timber ITO long. protected by
a double iron plating four inches
thick. The PROV was of cast iron.
She was named the Virginia and
was commanded by Commodore
Franklin Buchanan, who on March s,
1862, sent her against the Congress,
a sailing ship of so guns, and the
Cumberland, sailing ship of 30 guns,
both of which she quickly destrc"ed.
Some time after the fight a sea-
mans chest from the fo'cs'le of the
Cumberland floated ashore at New
port News, and inside was the Dible
now owned by Capt. Dean. Origin
ally it was the property of sailor
named Thomas Graham Of Albany, n.
Y.
Graham got possession Of the Bible
and kept it until Oct 10, 1887, when
he presented it to shIpmate named
William B. Daley, who gave it to his
friend, the late Capt. II. c. Hemmen-
way Of police station 2, this city, in
1892. Capt Hemmenway gave it to
its present owner.

THE MASTER KEY.
Ingenious Device by Which All Locks
Are Rendered Helpless.

An ingenious device typifying the
locksmith's skill is known as the mas
ter key. This key resembles, as near
ly as the eye can determine, an or.
dinary key, and docs not by any out
ward appearance seem to possess
any especial attribute.
Nevertheless ii will lock and I'M
lock all the locks in any building for
which it is especially designed. In
such buildings the locks are, OF
course, all OF uniform and prede-
termined type, yet any one of the 435
ordinary keys of the building in ques-
tion will not lock or uslock any lock
but the individual one for which IL is
made
Occasionally n tenant forgets his
key or may have some other reason
for being without his own when he
makes formal demand on the Super
intendent of the building for the mas
ter key. There is only one rule re-
lating to IL, and it is that It shall be
returned in five minutes time. Fail
ure to comply means simply that a
messenger will be sent posthaste after
1t, or, IL the tenant inadvertently slips
the key into his pocket and carries 1t
away still hunt is at once instituted
and kept up until the precious key is
found. It is evident that an unscru-
pulous person might easily have a du-
plicate key made and SO be able to
enter any one of the hundred offices
at will.
Recently one of these master keys
disappeared, and the management OF
the building rather than take any
chances had every lock removed and
an entire new series made to take
their places. 1t requires n highly
skilled locksmith to make a satsfac-
tory master key When a key is in
serted in a lock the tapering tip sim
ply serves to guide the toothed por-
tion into the slot. When in and the
key is turned one or more of the pro-
jections comes in contact with CORES
ponding movable portions of the In
terror of the lock and a combination
is effected which turns the bar
An exceedingly large number of
combinations may be thus wrought,
yet single key may be made by OBJ
tanning wax impressions of a number
of different keys.
