PECK MINE PROVES
 ITSELF STILL RICH
Ore Running Over 1000 Ounces Silver Is Shipped From It
 to Prescott.

. PRESCOTT, May 2G.-Conclusive evidence that the Peck mine in the Bradshaw mountains, the richness of which startled the civilized world a. ter it's discovery in the early 70's. is not entirely worked out. is seen in shipment oT four tons of ore, wnIcm =r- rived at the Prescott Sampiing Works yesterday, mined from the old workings, abandoned many years ago as entirely worked out. The ore, which samples over 1000 ounces in silver to the ton, was discovered a few weeks ago by miner in the em- ploy of the Great Peck Mining com pany. O. l. Tawney, general man ager, had a drift run on the new find and to his surprise, found some ore that aSsayed as aigl as 60 per cent in the white metal.
 In addition to the four tons, now at the sampling works, he has a good sized bar of silver bullion, which he melted from the GO per cent ore he found in the deposit. He is developing the small paystreah and has good ore still in sight in the face of the open ing.
 The history Of the Peck mine is one Ol TOllduC6 anu IS5dhA thNG GIe5itAltAho' It was discovered at time when the
 nearest railroad station was three hundred miles distant, and no wagon
 road within twenty miles of it. A wagon road was soon built, and a 1 plant installed and even under the adverse conditions then existing 1t
 continued to produce S60.0o0 a month in silver bullion for years. Over s. GOO, ,000 was mined from its immense ore shoot, which measured 300 feet in length and which has been exploited to depth cf 500 feet. Although there is rich ore in the bottom of it's low est level, it lay idle number O.
 years until it fell into the possession
 of the Clifford interests, some i've years ago, when a shaft was started
 on a level with the lowest tunnel
 This shaft was sunk to depth or 25O | feet and connection made with the old workings through a drift and raise from the lowest level An i'm
 nense volume of water was e1l'
 countered in the new working which | compelled cessation of development until the installation of pumping ma
 chinery of greater capacity. The in l stallation ot the machinery has been ! delayed by the eastern money panicS | last fall, but the management of the | Great Peck Mining company, now
 owning the property, expect to Il
 nance it again for large operations ] in the near future.

Especial wire to L. J. OVerlocK-J
 NEW. YORK, May 20.-The market at tae opening was steady and there was some bidding up by traders. The volume of business was not as large as vas expected and latter there was a pressure. In the afternoon there was quite a severe break and great ny stop orders were reached.
 Shelter was the point of attack and broke sharply. In the late af- ternoon. there was a partial recovery and traders covered stocks sold early. The close was nervous and the general feeling was that the re action was healthy.

LOWER MARKET ]. MARKED DCLOSE;
 COPPER STOCK
Shattuck Has Been in Excellent Demand and Greene Cana nea Is Footed As a Good Investment.
(By Frank Graf-)

The opening of today's markets were somewhat lower than the closing o5 yesterday and during u., earlier part of the session a sligh reaction took place and stocks soon took on strength, this, however, did not last long and at the close there was considerable selling of. stocks selling at about the low mark for the day. The condition of the Boston market soon acted in sympathy with the New York Ind/strials and cop per stocks soon declined the majority of which touched the low mark for the day at the close. Copper Range suffered the greatest loss of the cop per stocks today, opening at 73 and closing at II 3-4. North Butte open ing and closing prices were the same. The unlisted market did not suffer as much although some stocks were very weak. Superior 6 Pitts burg showed very little activ1uy ana looks as though it will be selling around the present figures for some time.
 It has been reported that the Super for & Pittsburg are thinking very se- riously of issuing 150,000 shares of the remaining 500,000 shares at S10 per share, this however has not been confirmed Greene Cananea also showed some feeling today and at the close was offered at 91-2. There has been great deal said lately to the effect that the Greene Cananea are about to resume operations and that they are in position to make copper at 10 to Il cents per pound, laid down in New York. Should rnIs be the case Greene-Cananea ought to advance. Shattuck has been in ex- cellent demand the entire day at 12, It looks as though there was a stroag interest in Shattuck. and they are taking stocks as it is being offerea. The entire market showed decline. but am of the opinon that it is only temporary and would buy small re-

SENATOR SMITH
WANTS WINNER
In Favor of Maryland Going To
Denver With Uninsfrucfed
Delegation.

Senator John Walter Smith when
asked Monday what this State would do
about instructing its delegates to the
National Convention in Denver in July,
said
Maryland will send an uninstructed
delegation. The delegates will go to
Denver and endeavor to select the man
they think most likely TO win.
I'm my opinion. that is the wise
policy for the Southern States. We
have a first-class opportunity to win
this year. if we get together on q candi-
date on whom we can unite. think it
best to select the man after we get to
Denver.
I'VE should not only consider the ma
jority, but the minority as well. A vic
tory is what we must seek.
The Maryland delegates will not 20
TO the convention for or against anyone.
but go with an honest desire TO help
pick a winner

week he has been making a grim fight
against death, and has been carefully
watched over, nursed and assisted by
his bride, who is trained nurse, and
who was Miss Ella May Thompson, Of

Thursday night, when he decided to
enter the University Hopital, and was

BISHOPS MODIFY
AMUSEMENT BAN
Mefhodisfs Would Strike Out
"Parfial List" But Adhere TO
General Objection.

The Thursday morning session of the
Methodist General Conference was taken
up largely with the reading of the adj
dress of the bishops to the church at
large, which, in addition to reviewing
the spiritual life and the material growth
of the church. touched. on matters Of
conduct and discipline. especially in the
matter Of amusements, showing dis
position to take triile broader point of
view as to those diversions that are to
be considered hurtful to the spiritual
life. In this connection the address
says:
owe are moved by profound convic-
ton of duty in again calling your atten-
ton to the subject of popular amuse-
ments in relation to the spirit and con
duct of spiritual life We regret that
the general prevalence OF harmful
amusements does not diminish, We
still firmly hold that they are antagonis-
tic to vital piety. promotive of world
ness. especially pernicious to youth. "
1--WE recommend. not that paragraph
2lS be stricken out, but that it be
amended by striking out the confessed
ly partial list of worldly amusements
found therein. beginning with the last
word in the eighth line and ending with
the word other in the eleventh line,
which were inserted in 1872, dancing.
playing games of chance. attending
theatres. horse races. circuses, dancing
parties of patranizing dancing schools,
OF taking such other, leaving as the
ground for church trial, in case such
trial becomes necessary. that portion of
of the paragraph reading: Taking such
amusements as are obviously of mislead-
ing or questionable moral tendency. or
disobedence TO the order and discipline
of the church, and especially our orig
inal rule. to taking such diversions as
cannot be used in the name of the Lord
Jesus.
Grave injustice will be done if this
recommendation is interpreted as an
abandonment of our early opposition to
worldly amusements. Indeed. il is a
return to the principles and to the ex-
act words furnished by John Wesley ."
