LEPERS IN THE CANAL ZONE.

Site Selected for the Colony Is
Worthy IL Fashionable Sanitarium.
Near the beautiful little suburb of
Palo SecO, six miles from the city Of
Panama, is a group Of eight new build
ings erected by American officials for
the segregation of lepers in the canal
zOne-there are seventeen of them
and they are under the care Of an Amer
lean physician aided by several attend
ants, says the New York Times.
Nothing illustrates the change that
has been wrought in the zone by the
introduction Of American methods bet
ter than the American way Of treating
these outcasts of society. When the
zone first came under American control
there were a number of makeshift pest
houses in out-Of-the-way stations along
the line Of the Panama railroad Some
were in the city of Colon, while on the
outskirts of Panama eleven patients.
nOminally in the care Of the govern
ment of Panama, were huddled togeth-
er in a small building.
The site selected for the colony is
worthy a fashionable sanitarium On
rising ground the broad verandas which
surround three sides of every building
look across the bay, with its ever-in-
creasing shipping, to the city of Pan
ANA in the middle distance Farther
on the winding coast line stretches till
it is lost in the tropic haze. To the
rear, beyond the little suburb, the low
country stretches indefinitely toward
the hills, its slow winding rivers and
scattered clearings showing like lines
on a map.
The colony is utterly isolated-the
chief reason for the selection Of the
spot. The whole width Of the bay pro-
tects Panama from infection, while to
the rear the Rio Grande and the little
Farfan river separate it from Palo
Seco. On the side toward the bay a
short stretch of beach offers a landing
place to small boats. A part of the
island has been cleared and each leper
will receive a small lot to take care
of and till. SO far as vegetables and
poultry are concerned, the colony is
expected soon to be self-supporting

MINING
TONS LAGUNA ORE
RETURNS AVERAGE OF SOL

GOLDFIELD, July 23-TLe Mushett
lease, on the Laguna, gives promise Of
proving the best discovery yet made
in this section of the camp. It is
worked under the same conditions as
the Rogers-Syndicate in the similarity
that Rogers and his associates owned
half of the lease when the Syndicate
corporation came along and for $4,000
bought a one-half interest in the lease.
The money advanced at this time made
the property a producer.
The first ore was entered at depth
of APO feet in an upraise which has
been extended upwards for about 100
feet on the dip of the vein and ore
shoot, which is toward the east. An
other upraise is now being made on
the shoot from the same level on the
ore body, and a station has been COM
.pleted at the 40O-foot level. Ii the up
raise the showing is immense, and
some very rich rock is being mined,
with picked samples that go better
than 50 a pound.
The lessees are not paying any at
t. ltion to the high grade for separate
shipment, as it is all good enough to
market without sorting. In the upraise
the ore shoot varies in width from
one to six feet, and is as cratic as
all the other shoots on the wide dyke.
A settlement was made for twenty tons
that averaged 5000 a ton, and grab
samples from the ore being sacked yes

NEW YORK STOCK
AND BOND MARKET

NEW YORK, July 23-There was manifest
growth of general participation in the trans
actions in stocks today, commission houses
reporting increased outside orders. The mar
ket broadened perceptibly and embraced an
increasing numbers OF seeurl.les not nt
traded in The long period OF dormancy OF
some of these while an upward movement nad
been going on In the general market makes
them susceptible to spasmodic read1ustnent
10 the new order of values which oners start
ling contrasts in the prices made with those
prevailing when dealings last occurred in
them.
many Instances. At the same time active profit
taking was going on in the favorite stocks and
the price movement had very irregular APP
pearance in consequence. This was one symp-
tom of the lessened arthciality Of the mar
ket. Movements lacked the machine like pre-
clson characteristic Of the early grades of a
speculative campaign when operations were
almost wholly in the hands of a few leaders
getting in concert and depending on devices OF
manipulation to achieve their efforts. Such
growth OF outside demand as is now being
seen in the stock market is the object sought
b. the earlier professional operations and when
it is secured there is usually no time lost In
taking advantage of 1t to transfer speculative
holdings and secure the profits accrued. This
profit taking, while perfectly evident from the
action of the market today, as conducted with
caution and the control OF the movement was
not abandoned at any time.
There was a supposition that large accu-
mutation Of holdings had been effected in an
ticipation Of decision reversing the $4,000 900
fine imposed upon the Standard OIL company.
and 1t was assumed that the handing down of
that decision yesterday would prompt some
selling out of these Accommodations. That de-
cieion continues the subject Of active discus
sion in the financial district with general
agreement its probable effect in reviving
demands for corporation securities.
There was some difference Of opinion over
the possible political effect of the upsetting of
the governments case against the Standard Oil
company and the reflected consequences to be
apprehended in financial affairs. No assistance
was received from abroad In sustaining prices
Of stocks. The price of copper again ad-
vanced both In New York and in London,
and news of this countrys crops continued
favorable, such strength as shown in the
grain markets being attributed to foreign
demand. There was some increase in the SELL
ing pressure late in the day, which reduced
previous advances considerably and made the
closing tone irregular Bonds were strong.
Total sales, par value, s6,090O O0 Government
bonds were unchanged on call.
