With regard TO the above report
from the Tribune. il is well known
here that within the last few months
there have been couple of examina-
tions made of Ely Witch property by
experts representing large eastern
interests. The first of these reports,
ii has been rumored. was unfavorable
to the property Following its going
east, however. high grade ore was
struck In the bottom of the Witch
shaft Shortly thereafter another ex-
animation was made of the mine. by
experts other than those who con-
Quoted the first examination men
toned. The report resulting from
the second examination is understood
to have been favorable, although
there is no authentic information In
this respect. The demand coming
from the east for the stock, however,
would indicate that findings were sat
isfaetory. The second report would
have had just about time TO reach
the east and be read there. Undoubt-
eddy important things for Ely Witch
depended upon the tone of this re-
port and the manner of reception
given il. At the mine there has not
been time as yet 10 allow of follow
ing up 10 important extent develop,
ment of the ore found in the shaft,
but it Is said that the outlook there
is very favorable.
OF course it is possible that the
presumption that approach of an as
sessment would operate TO bear the
stock rather than advance il, may
be wrong One local company con
trolled by Boston interests made such
a move early in the year with re-
suit OF jumping lis stock up, but
there We're unusual conditions at
tendant. of which there Is no evil

Witch. However. when the top Is

SITUATION IL DOUBTFUL.
Traders Hesitate to Buy. and Sell
Heavily Under Present Con-
dtion-.

NEW YORK. Sept a-The tone
of speculation in stocks today showed
degree of distrust and hesitation.
The feeling was based on the heights
10 which prices have been carried
already and found expression in re
framing from further buying and bid
ding up of stocks. more than in any
active attempts 10 get them lower.
The lesson on punishment admins
tered TO the bears last month is too
fresh in mind yet 10 have lost its In
timidating effect
The doubts about the warrant for
the present level of prices are due 10
some skepticism over the alleged rate
of recuperation in business, owing 10
the lack of confirmation In figures Of
railroad earnings. currency move
ments. bank elearings and other us
nal indexes OF any but moderate
growth of business activity. The re-
dundant state of the money market.
while constituting the mainstay of
the speculative position on the long
sside of stocks. is itself a matter for
suspicion of tagging commodities and
merchandise markets.
Money on call Is almost a drug in
the market and scanty supplies of
commercial paper are eagerly sought
for investment. The railroad mort
gage market is affected In the same
way. London and Berlin We're re-
ported large buyers of stocks here
TODAY, and this was an important fac
Tor i'm the early strength OF the mar

down at the New York metal eN-

American Smelling a. Refining Co.
made the copper shares vulnerable 10

The absence of the usual season
able demand from the interior for
funds is the subject of growing re-
marks. New York exchange at Chi
cago fell last week to 80 cents dis

tend the coming movement of funds
from New York to interior markets
for the crop movement and the fall
retail distribution. Now the ex-
change at Chicago has risen TO par
or small discount again.

HARDLY MAKE HITCH
BUYING MOVEMENT BROUGHT
ABOUT FOR ELY WITCH DOES
NOT CONFORM WITH ASSESS
MENT REPORTS.

Rumor current here Tuesday and
Wednesday to the effect that Ely.
Witch might soon effect reorganiZa-
tion for The purpose of levying an
assessment, begins to take on the
look of bear move. This impress
sion gets backing from the fact that
while the repotr referred 10 was in
circulation here, Salt Lake brokers
were receiving orders to buy Ely
Witch and quite a little furore was
on over the stock in that market
the following account is given by the
Salt Lake Tribune:
Several borkers were in receipt
of telegraphic orders yesterday from
New York TO buy Ely Witch stock
One of the fraternity who had not
been "wised mp. dropped 900
shares at % cents and found. a few
moments later, that he might as well
have had 80 cents, the price that was
bid for it during the afternoon in
formal call on change.
while Manager Ernest Bamberger
was disinclined 10 talk about it, il
is known that some sensationally
high grade copper ore was encoun-
tered in a Wine from the tunnel level
of the property a few weeks ago, and
the supposition is that this news has
finally reached the eastern share
holders of the company, who are now
out for more of the stock while the
price holds low. Mr.. Bamberger add
mi;ted that drifting in the ore en-
countered as stated had been COM
menced, but further than that he de-
clined to talk on the subject.
II is believed locally that the Ely
Witch property will eventually be
added 10 the possessions of the Ne
vada Consolidated and the opinion
was expressed during the afternoon
that. if negotiations are not already
pending. they will be in the near flu
ture II is pointed out that the
ground was considered about the
richest spot in the Ely camp when
developments were being carried on
by Dick" Claiming and his asso-
ciates. and the claim is made that
if II was rich then il is no less so
now. while recent disclosures have
served TO emphasize all that was
claimed for the ground in the be-
ginning of its development.
At any rate. orders are coming in
from the east for the stock, and such
things do not happen without there
being something tangible 10 start
such move.

as outgrowth of the Moroccan stu

uneasy japanese situation may have
early effect on the metals as well as
the stocks. However, only the un-
usual may be expected to bring about
any marked advance in the course of

The outside buyers are few and the
outlook is very skeptical. The fall

war with Japan is an absolute Ger

be declared inside of 60 days. Con-
servative bankers ridicule all idea Of

say corn will jump 10 dollar a

Mr.. Littleton's friends claim to be
entirely satisfied with the outlook.
They say that New York has leading

They say that Mr. Littleton's record
as to party regularity is without blem-

recommendations. 1t is not antici-

Scores Of Bodies Recovered at Uzovo,
European Russia, Are Terribly
MangIed--Many Miners
Go Mad


UzOVO, European Russia, July g.
Fire broke out today in the Rikovsky
mine, which yesterday was the scene
a heavy loss of life. The work of res
cue and fighting the fire is being con-
Quoted under the greatest difficulties.
over 200 men remain down in the
mine, shut in by falling earth, and
their fate is unknown. One hundred
and sixty dead bodies already have
been brought out. Many OF the men
were burned to death, while others had
their heads and limbs torn off by the
force of the explosion.
Seventy-hVe wounded were removed
to hospitals, and of these ten have al
ready expired and many more are dy-
ing. 1t is believed that the present
number of dead will be increased by 20
The explosion occurred just after the
shift entered the mine. The last TWEEN
ty men of the shift were still in the
cage at the bottom of the shaft, and
they were drawn to the surface unin-
jured. Rescue parties at once COM
menced to go down. Six of the rescu-
ers were suffocated, but the others
bravely continued at work.
In the meanwhile the 800 miners who
had gathered at the head of the shaft
became so excited that troops had tc
be summoned. They cleared the
ground and today allow only the mem
bers of the families of victims to come
within their Gordon. Heartrendins
scenes are witnessed as the mangleo
bodies of the dead men are brought tc
the surface and given over to the be
reaved women Many of the wounded
are mad from the shock The cause Of
the explosion Is not known.

cruisers proceeded to the anchorage of
Coronado.
The cruisers lowed the destroyers
the entire trip down the coast. AL

smooth all the time considerable trou-
BILE was experienced with the tow lines.
The Preble's line broke four times, two
of the breaks occurring in rapid sue

CURED the next day To remedy the
trouble a four-inch wire cable was
fastened at each end of the tow line
taking the place of the big hawser
chain that had previously broken.
The Farragut and Perry also parted
their tow lines each three times.
Although the destroyers were towed
the entire distance they had steam UP

DENVER, July 3.-Congressman
Francis Burton Harrison, when asked
II he was a candidate for the vice pres
idency, said:
Should the delegates to this conven-
ton select me for the second place on
the ticket would accept the honor.
Personally l should like to see the
nomination of Judge Gray for the vice
presidency. / believe that his selec-
ton would promote harmony within the
party ranks and add great strength to
the national ticket
When Mr.. Harrison was asked his
opinion relative to the anti-injunction
plank to be Inserted IN the Democratic
platform he said:
THE arbitrary use of the writ of in
junction in labor disputes by the fed
eral judges is a novel construction of
the law, and our party should provide
some restraint of that great power.
Such power, unrestrained is too great
to be vested In any one individual"

Flag, but Mob Takes Advantage
of Circumstance to Start
Riot

TABRIz. July 3.-The trouble in
this city broke out again today, when
the reactionaries and the revolution
lists. after a brief truce yesterday even
ing, again started shooting at each
other. The revolutionists last evening
hoisted a white flag and intimated their
readiness to surrender, but instead OF
bringing peace the circumstance was
embraced by q reactionary mob to loot
and destroy the quarter of the city
where the bazaars are located.
The revolutionists at once recalled
all their men to arms, erected another
barricade, and another bloody conflict
in the bazaar district began. All the
foreign residents of Tabriz have hung
out over their house their respective
hags. They are not believed to be in
danger.
There is a serious shortage of bread
in Tabriz.
