Thinks Well of
Glendale and
Georges Canyon

Frank Bugbee, a mining man and
prospector who has been over near
ly every foot of Nevada, arrived in
Tonopah last evening from Ellen
dale and Georges canyon in both of
which places he is interested. In
the former camp he is operating a
lease, while in the latter he owns
some ground which he thinks high
ly Of
Concerning Glendale, Mr.. Bugbee
states that the past few days have
witnessed discoveries that warrant
the expression that the camp has
come to stay. On the Coleman lease
on the Gold Wedge claim ore run
ming $40 per ton has been uncover
ed. The values are in ledge forma-
ton and augur well for the success
of that estate.
On the Mustang claim two strikes
were made this week which show up
exceedingly well. Richard Callag-
han has found ore that shows a
value of $50 to the ton and as
depth is made the values are in
creasing. This lease lies alongside
the Sandstone. The other strike
on the Mustang was made on the
lease of Jim Noonan. Here the
values run nearly up to the hundred
dollar mark
Mr.. Bugbee states that Glendale
certainly looks fine at this time
Everybody there has the greatest
confidence in the camp. He looks
to see the district develop into one
of the largest and most productive
in this state of wonders.
Speaking of Georges canyon, Mr.
Bugbee is profuse in his praise. HI

1879 that a United States government
bond, with a fixed maturity, changed
hands for less than its face value.
Authority to Controller.
Under the national banking law the
controller of the currency is authorized
when the par value Of government bonds
deposited to secure circulation falls below
par to demand additional security from
the banks. The decline in Panama p
brings this clause of the law into active
operation. but the exercise of the author
ity Is optional with the controller. Yes
terday afternoon Controller Murray had
nothing to give out on the subject and IL
is not known what action he may take
I'm the matter later this week.
1t is not understood at what point be-
to exercise his authority to call upon the
banks for the additional security. The
feeling In banking circles Is that the con-
troller. so far as the passage of the law
is concerned, would take no notice Of any
slight fall below par.
The amount OF Panama 2s outstanding
Is s.. 631 $50. and Of these SIC. 100. $50 are
deposited to secure circulation and 81
319. 900 to secure public deposits. OF the
. per cent bonds Of 1890 there are $780,
$50 600 outstanding, of which $J73, 451, $50
are deposited to secure circulation and
over $24. 10000 to secure public deposits.
The banks also hold government de-
poeits Of over $4,000, 900 secured by the
deposit Of state. city and railway bonds
at 30 per cent OF their par value.

ROOMS OF KRAMER The FLORIST
FORMAL OPENING OF NEW ES-
TABLISHMENT TOMORROW.
Ten Thousand Square Feet of Floor
Space Stocked With Flowers
and Plants.

The public was notified through news
paper advertisements eight years ago
that Kramer, the Florist" had opened
an. establishment in the basement OF 9l6
r street northwest and was looking Tor
his share Of patronage.
This announcement was the beginning
of making this establishment one OF the
largest, IL not the largest. floral store
in the District. until now the business
has grown to such an extent that steps
had to be taken for larger accommoda-
tons. Accordingly about one month ago
Fred H. Kramer secured the main moor
of the building above his store, ana now
has an up-to-date establishment
Formal Opening Tomorrow.
The formal opening OF the new place is
IN he held tomorrow. When the first
esta b,isbment was opened eight years
ago there were about 100 feet OF floor
space and Mr.. Kramer had one empioye
20 assist him. The new store has about
IN o,U square feet of space and nearly
sixty employees on the pay roll In tne
rear of the store additional ground was
secured and a conservatory, eignty py
tventy-six feet. had been erecteu;

opening Of the second week nioom,ns
i'm the conservatory. AS the seasons
change other varieties of plants are to
be stocked there for sale. This form
of display. it is contended, will give the
customers better chance to see the
stock.
In the main and show sales room the
walls are attractively painted. while the
sheet metal overhead harmonizes with
the floral paradise below. A balcony has
been erected in the front of the store
and continues along the east side. The
cashiers are to be located up there, and
a cash carrier system is to be installed
in the place. SO that the customers will
have little delay in making purchases
Workroom in Basement.
The workroom is located in the base
ment. under the conservatory 1t is
well lighted, dry and healthy. Mr..
Kramer states that the arrangements for
making funeral designs are SO complete
that within ten minutes after an order
has been received for an ordinary design
1t can be delivered to the purchaser.
The proprietor contends that In the
florist business prompt delivery is want
ed by the, public, and he is to have
three automobile delivery wagons to do
this work. One of the wagons has al
ready been purchased. and two more arc
now being built by a Washington COM
pany. As an attraction at the place, an
orchestra has been engaged to give con-
certs each afternoon from to o'clock
throughout the season.
In addition to the + street store, Mr..
Kramer conducts large greenhouses be-
yOnd the Anacostia river. and branch
store at the corner of 9th street and
Grant place. In the branch store there
are more than 1900 square feet Of floor
space >.evoted to flowers. 1t Is the
purpose OF Mr.. Kramer to have every
thing in his line at the new establish
ment, and he is determined to accommo-
date the public.

for day or so as to whether
there is a possibility for action on the

Special Dispatch to The Star.
AUSTIN, Tex. November 6.-The stories
of abuses at the hands Of guards and
higher officials of the state penitentiary
system. which were told by convicts in
their sworn testimony before the state in
vestigatins committee, have brought to
light such horrible practices that Gov.
Campbell will be urged by the committee
to Immediately call special session of
the legislature for the purpose of abolish
Ing the convict contract system and to
reform the penitentiary management in
many other respects. The committee
session at Rusk. where one Of the peni-
tentiaries is situated brought out a num-
Der of new horrors i'm the treatment of
convicts. Much Of the testimony given at
Rusk yesterday was corroborated at to-
days session of the committee.
According to the testimony before tie
committee. guards and sergeants COM
mitted offenses ranging in degree all the
way from hogging men so severely that
they died from their injuries to shooting
man dead i'm his tracks because the
state had plenty of ammunition"
Testimony All Alike.
These tales of brutality were told by
almost every convict who was placed on
the witness stand. An examination of
their bodies showed the deep scars and
raw wounds made by the instruments
OF torture. A strap which far exceeds
the legal size is in common use for whip
ping the convicts. Not infrequently the
victim was given 100 lashes. Notched
bats designed to cut the flesh at every
stroke are In common use.
This testimony did not confine itself to
the subOrdinates Of the penitentiary sys-
tenn. but duplicates one man who Is now
holding a prominent station with the
penitentiary administration, who is said
by the convicts to have dubbed himself
THE King of the Leather" and is the
most feared man generally among pris-
oners that the system has yet produced
