Murder at North Yakima.

North Yakima, Wash, March 16.-
Mrs L. V. Mccoy, a comely mulatto
woman, was shot and killed at 1880
o'clock Sunday afternoon by Mortimer
Moore, a negro who claimed to have
been converted under her teaching at
a gospel mission several years ago.
Moore was jealous because the woman
was to marry e. T. Clifford, who had
started her in business at the Fremont
lodging house, where the murder took
place Moore then ended his own
wretched life by taking carbolic acid.

The treasury department Saturday
purchased 100000 ounces of silver for
delivery at Denver at 56.127 cents per
fine ounce.
About four feet of carbonate ore OF
good grade has been encountered in
the Conqueror mining property on
Moon creek in the Occur d'Alenes.
An assessment of mills per share
has been levied on the stock of the
Cedar Creek Mining & Development
company.
President H. G. Duffy of the Butte
Miners union states that circulars
posted in other mining camps and in
leading cities of the northwest to the
effect that 10000 men are wanted in
Butte are misleading. The supply of
labor now in Butte far exceeds the de-
mand. Moreover, unskilled labor is
not employed in the mines of Butte
at any time. Duffy says that misled
by false employment agency circulars,
5000 penniless men are now in the
city.
George Macleod and A. ID. McPhee
of Grand Forks, B. c., are making the
final payment on the bond on the
Grant mine at Chesaw. Another
body of ore, supposedly the main
ledge, for which the company has
driven nearly so feet into Copper
mountain, has been entered. More
copper was recently encountered in
the Ben Harrison shaft at a depth OF
140 feet.
A meeting of Spokane citizens inter
ested in mining was held Tuesday
March II, for the purpose of creating
an interest in the convention of north

Advices from the Southern Cross
mine, west of Anaconda, tell of a
thrilling escape of 10 miners from
death in a mammoth cave-in at the
property recently. The cage does not
run at night, and while they were al
work the men heard the ground above
them cracking and giving signs of q
cave-in The warning was shouted al
along the level and the men sought
safety in flight One of the men who
had worked there for some time
thought of an old drift, and they made
their way to the surface in the nicl
of time The ground settled from the
surface to a depth of 10 feet, com
pletely filling the 100 and 300 foo
levels. The cavern is about 20 fee
square.

FACTORIES kISUMIkG AND
MONEY is EASIER.
Iron and Steel Trade Greatly Improved
Price of Copper Goes UP Since
Butte Mines Reopen-stocks Again
Advancing-No More Calls for Short
Loans-Foregn Money Invested.

New York, March 1.-THE prevail
ing opinion reflected in the financial
district last week was of increased
confidence that the condition OF affairs
YVES nening. Evidences We're not uni
versal that contraction had run its
course, but from fields that were con
siGered NEST significant the signs of
betterment were accepted as testi-
mony that the situation was shaping
toward improvement. Figures compil-
ed by the American Railway associa-
ton of the number of idle freight cars
showed a progressive reduction of the
last two fortnightly returns. These
figures were highly influential in shap-
ing opinion on the general situation.
Scattering reports of resumption of
work by factories which had suspend
ed or largely reduced operations dur
ing the depth of the depression, al
though mixed with evidence of fur
Their curtailment in other directions,
were a cheering factor. Especially in
the iron and steel trade the reports OF
reopenings were notable. The ad-
vance in the price of copper, which
had been falling since the decision to
reopen the Butte copper producing
mines gave some reinsurance to the
confidence in improvement in that
trade, which was expressed in the re
opening in Montana. The declining
money rates here and abroad were an
element in the situation, and the dis
crepancy in money rates here and in
Europe induced some investment OF
foreign funds in New York This was
mostly confined to high-grade mort
gage securities and to some tal1ings OF
mercantile paper.
The easing of the money market and
the stirring of activity in stock:
brought into consideration the subject
of financial needs of the great corpor
ations which remain unsupplied anC
which insure attempts to float new
issues of securities in the near future
The market for existing bonds wal
studied to discern a reflection of thi'
improvement in the general bond mar
! ket, but with results somewhat ulSdp
pointing The bond market Lacked
breadth and the prices at which sea
soned bonds are still selling do no
make a propitious condition for thu
Offering of new securities. The ad
vance in stocks was made feasible b,
the evident completion of liquidation
and consequent scarcity of stock
offering which removed obstacles t
the operations for an advance. Al
obstinate short interest also was lef
at disadvantage by the cessation O
liquidation, and the necessities of thi
element offered a basis for raisin
prices. with assurance that some dc
mand would be met on which to rese

SHOT DOWN.

Word was sent down by mail
to Sheriff Morrison from Ivers
last Saturday night that Lee
Warner had shot down and mur.
dered in cold blood Frank Breen.
and that Warner had skipped
out. Sheriff Morrison at once
got busy on the telephone and
warned the officers in different
towns to be on the lookout for
Warner, of whom he gave them
a description. The details as
told us are as follows: On Fri
day night, Aug. 18th, at about s
O'Clock, Frank Breen opened the
front door of Brockman & Nc
Kinzie's saloon at Ivers and
walked in. He had gone but a
few steps when he saw Warner
robbing the saloon till. Breen
saw Warner robbing the saloon
till and had some half a dozen
men in the building held up at
the point of a six shooter. Breen
said to Warner. put up that gun
or I'll take it away from you"
and Breen walked toward War
ner, at that Warner shot breen
through the breast, and the bull
let lodged in the spine, and
Breen died the next day.
Warner and others had been
gambling and Warner had lost.
and he said he would get even.
and at that held up the saloon
and tapped the till for a 500 or
more, and after shooting Breen
made his escape, and has not
been heard of since.
Frank Breen, who was shot. is I
a man about 45 years of age, IN |
married, is a miner, and also the
owner of the barber shop at the
town of Ivers. He is highly re-
spected by those who know him.
Warner is a gambler and sport.
