Professional swindlers in the MIN

American cities In which bald punery

PRIVATE SALES OF SHARES.
Transactions Closed Over Luncheon
Tables Far i'm Excess of stock
Exchange Trades.

The transactions in gold mine
shares in this country are far larger
than are represented by the tables
that record sales Of mining stocks
al the exchanges. The bulk of the
sales of mining stocks in proven
gold mines is made In circles of bust
ness men who come into close re-
lations with interests engaged in
the making of mining machinery and
railroad supplies. There are mo
better informed men In this country
ON good places for the investment OF
money in mining than the principal
officials of the railroads that tap the
mining districts. :,
Few of the stocks of the best gold
mines are listed on the exchanges.
The mine owners can sell all the
stock they care to dispose of any day
among their friends. The volume OF
business in sales of mining stocks
over club luncheon tables in this city
alone is much in excess of the amount
of bona fed business done on several
exchanges that make a feature OF
mining stocks.-Wall Street sum

The market was strong today and
lots of prompt takers. were in the
battle but all were promptly taken,
which shows that confidence Is re-
turning.
The local market seems to have
imbibed some of the confidence of
the eastern market since election and
a number of the local stocks are
much more In demand and being held
higher than for some time past, such
as Ely Bonanza strong at 50 cents.
Good reports of resumption of work
on large scale is the cause. Richard
Ely, liz TO 20, and Boston Ely is
also strong. Ely GirouX Extension

is quoted at 10 to II cents. Federal

start up soon after the 18th to sink

In three years, the Sea otter gang
had cleaned up net profits of So
900 700. Their dupes did not
average ten cents a day for their
labor in mining and in a few months
the well sailed deposits of alluvial
gold were worked out. None of the
adventures could get into the few
really good mines that had been
worked in Alaska and the Canadian
territory adjacent. Since then, the
Klondike schemers have worked parts
of Alaska as bats In Europe and
America but Alaska has become a
place where the only good mining
propositions are in the hands of
honest men who can sell all the stock

officials who. owing to the number

Lightning Plucks a Bird.

Lightning did some queer stunts
here during a storm, among them the
knocking of all but solitary feather
from the body of mouse hawk,
which, strange to relate, still lives to
bear mute evidence of the occurrence
says the Columbus Despatch.
The hawk was found under the tree
which had been struck the following
morning, when the hands on the |. d.
Stone farm were inspecting the work
of the storm. The bird was barely
alive and, stripped of all but the one
feather, presented a sorry appearance.
1t was taken to the house and fed and
bids fair to recover.
