Chicago Mans Mortgage Covers .
Quicksilver Mine.
Chicago, Sept. 8.-H. E. Perry. of
Chicago. is the luckiest man in the
United States, FOR he saw bad debt
grow into 100000. Several years
ago Mr.. Perry was forced to take
two sections of land near Terlingua.
Texas, on q mortgage. Situated 100
miles from the nearest railroad. In
q region mountainous and barren OF
vegetation, 1t was hardly fit for goat
grazing. One day. some time after
the first discovery of quicksilver In
the Terlingua district. a Mexican
soath erder accidentally came across
an outcropping Of the cinnabar ore
on one of Mr.. Perry's sections of
land. The ore. when tested. proved
to be rich in quicksilver. running ~
high as 40 per cent.
One day Mr. Perry was agreeably
surprised to receive letter at his
Office in Chicago offering him $4,000
cash for his 1880 acres. He had con-
sidered the land worth not to exceed
$1,000 and the letter was mystery
to him. The writer did not say what
had caused the enormous increase In
value, so Perry Investigated and
learned that he had one of the most
valuable quicksilver mines in the
world. He is now working it and 1t
is valued at upward of 100000.
During the time that 1t has been
operated quicksilver to the value of
about $4,000 month has been OK
tracted with tan-ton furnace.

FISHERMEN FIGHT NEW LAWS,
Neither Upper Nor Lower River Can
ners Satisfied With Legislation.

Ne1ther upper NOR Lower liver OaH.
ners Satisfied With Legislation.
Portland. Or. Sept. 8.-Endless
complications, resulting in expensive
litigation, are certain to follow the
announced intention of H. c. Ne
Allister, Oregon's Master Fish War
den, strictly to enforce the provisions
OF the two initiative bills enacted by
the voters of his state last June.
Fishermen along the river have de-
clared that they will not observe the
laws, Notwithstanding the fact that
scores of warning notices have been
posted at available points on the
river by the Master Fish Warden. II
arretsed, they threaten to carry the
laws into the courts for legal opin-
ion as to the constitutionality of
these statutes.
BY the terms of the bill proposed
by the Lower River fishermen, all
fishing in the Columbia River above
the mouth of the Sandy is prohibited
except by hook and line, after Sep
TENDER 10. This bill virtually puts
the wheelmen, operating on the Up
per Columbia, out of business. as 1t
was intended to do The measure
proposed by the Up-River. wheelmen
and enacted by the people of the state
places serious limitations on the op-
erations Of the gillnetters on the
Lower River. Formerly the closed
season prevailed from August Is to
September 10, and after the latter
date fishing was allowed as long as
any were caught up to March Is,
when there was closed spring sea-
son of 80 days. But under the new
law, fishing on the Lower River Is
allowed only from September 10 to
October l, when the closed season Is
to be enforced for the ensuing three
months, or until December 81. Sal
mon may then he taken until March
Is, when the spring closed season
begins and continues until April Is.
Wheelmen and gillnetters alike
will resist the enforcement of the two
laws enacted by the people last June.
Both classes of fishermen hold state
licenses. which do not expire until
March 81, next.

Albert Gallatin, secretary of the
treasury, under the democratic pat
ron saint, Thos. Jefferson, in 1871,
in his Essays" published in that
year says:
The annual tax of 1 per cent
imposed under the name of a safety
fund.- is unjust toward the banks
which are we'll administered and in
furious to the community at large.
To make one bank responsible for
the conduct Of another, sometimes
very distant and over which it has
no control, is premium given to
neglect of duty and to mismanage-
ment at the expense of the banks
which have performed their duty
and been cautiously administered"

DEATH STILL H MYSTERY.
Hrschberg Inquest VII Probably
Result an Open Verdict.
1nv Telegraph to The TrIbune.l

ST Louis Dec 9-The inquest into the killing
of Francis D. Hirschberg. insurance broker and
Worlds Fair director. adjourned this after
moon until 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. at which
hour his funeral is scheduled. The Rev. Father
T2ronsreest announced that Mr.. Hirschberg will be
hurled in Calvary Cemetery, adding: This may
he taken as indicating that the Church believes
there is no evidence that Hrschberg killed him
self" An open verdict by the corOner's jury after
the funeral is anticipated
According to reports Mr. Hirschberg carried
$50 600 life insurance. The estimated value of his
estate is $1,000 aside from his widows fortune.
Detective Wardensk, OF the city police depart
ment created somewhat OF a sensation to-day by
testifying that Barrett Frost Mr.. Hirschberg's
nephew. told him that the weapon found in the
Hirschberg house the property of his uncle.
wardensh said that Mary Keeyer. a servant, had
admitted seeing revolver with the hammer filed
down in Mr. Hirschberg's bedroom.
Ida Rehbaum. for Hrschberg's aged
mother, Mrs. Lucille Hirschberg. who roomed
with the latter in the Hirschberg home, testi-
fed that between and $50 Tuesday morning
thinking she heard Hrschberg call her, she walked
TO the door of his and him standing in
his nightcothes inside She asked him il he had
called her, and. receiving negative reply, returned
to her room and heard nothing more.
Police reports say that Hlrschberg was shot
about the time Ida Rehbaum testified she saw him
in his room, which the same time that Hirsch-
bergs wife testified she him with his face
covered with blood.
The police strongly inclined to believe that Ida
Rehbaum's story will throw further light his
death and may give the clew that will solve the
mystery. 1t is intimated that Hirschberg may have
been shot by man whom he caught in the house.
