The work on the Globe-lsabella group has been done on a contact between schist and green stone, and some eight thousand tons of rich smelting ore have been shipped. On the balance of the company's prop crty very little work has been done. Tn addition to the shaft and lateral work, on the Globe Isabella, drilling will be done on the other groups so as to indi- cate what portions of the ground are sufficiently well mineralized to warrant thorough exploration by means of shafts drifts and crosscuts.

WHEAT MAKES NEW HIGH MARK FOR FOURTH TIME IN AS
 MANY DAYS.

NEW YORK, April 5.-Speculation in stocks did not fully maintain its strong tone throughout the day, al though still showing evidence of vital ity and an undertone of confidence.
 Speculative opinion seems to have ar rived at the conviction that the worst is over in the business depression and improvement is to be the rule from now on.

Rheumatism

More than nine out of every ten cases of rheumatism are simply rheuma- tism of the muscles, due to cold or damp or chronic rheumatism. In such eases no internal treatment is required. The free application of Chamberlain E Lin iment is all that is needed, and is cer- tain to give quick relief. Give it trial and see for yourself how quickly it relieves the pain and soreness. The medicines usually given internally for rheumatism are poisonous or very strong medicines. They are worse than use less in eases of chronic and muscular rheumatism. For sale by all druggists.

responsible for such periods of hesita- tion as were percebtiblc during much of today's session.
 Time loans were reported easier and considerable amounts were said to have been placed on the market. The vigor- ous advance in the last half hour of Union Pacific and United States Steel was decisive in turning the whole mar ket upward again.
 Bonds were firm. Total sales $i,9iT,- 900. United States bonds unchanged.
