Widmeyer Nine In Lead
In the District,
MANY WANT THE PROPERTY
Owner Cuts Hot Air Peddlers
Wants Business Men.

The Little Butte property, George
Widmeyer's, on Deadwood mountain, is
attracting considerable of attention
from promoters and spectators in
mines since the strike in a new ore
shoot in the property two weeks ago.
Mr.. Widmeyer has received many in
quiries from mining men in the north
west, and some of them in first letter
have wanted 10 open negotiations for
the purchase of the property, without
having seen it. Mr.. Widmeyer appears
not to want to sell. At least he wants
to know that he is dealing with business
men before he will open negotiations.
Beats First Reports.
The Little Butte is better than Min
ing News indicated in its report Of the
property after the strike two weeks
ago. Instead Of being a crosscut tun-
nel II Is on the lead, and IN ore the en-
tire length, 735 feet. This tunnel gives
POO feet depth on the ore body, and
from this tunnel is an aggregate of 200
feet in crosseuts. There is an upper
tunnel in 100 feet Mr. Widmeyer
stated Monday that he had just started
20 crosscut the lead, having driven
ahead several feet since getting into
The new shoot.

New York-La Rose Consolidated

idend Of per cent. 90 cents on S. par,
payable Jan. 90. Books close Dec. 81,

This is reduction, as recently an
troll. from former quarterly rate of :"
per cent and per cent. extra.
Boston-Some surprise has been eX-
pressed that directors Of the Westing-
house Electric. at the time the regular
dividend on the preferred was declared
last week, took no action toward pay
ing up any further portion of the per
cent of accrued dividends on the APP
proximately s4.000,0O0 preferred stock.
Last September the directors declared
a dividend Of 313 per cent. toward the
reduction of the then l21@ per cent. of
accrued dividends, and the understand
ing was that a further declaration
would be made with the January pay
ment.
New York-1ndustrial securities have
evidently been in great favor. Phenom-
email gains have been made by Ameri-
can Telephone and Westinghouse, the
combined increase for these two COM

PRAISE FOR BRUSH.
Warm Words of Commemorate Utter
ed by Barney Dreyfuss.

Pittsburg, Dec. 21.-Barney Dreyfuss,
president of the Pittsburg Baseball
Club, thinks that John T. Brush made
d wise selection when he proposed
Lynch as q compromise candidate.
Lynch VIII be strong advocate Of
the policies that made the late Harry
c. Pulliam and John a. Heydler so
popular with the public" said Drey-
fuss. He ana Heydler have been
friends for years and viii work togeth-
er in perfect harmony"
John r. Brush deserves credit for
something by the action he took al the
meeting Of the board Of directors at the
Hotel knickerbocker, New York, last
Saturday night. 1t was then he pro
posed 10 increase Hevdler's salary for
next year and TO give him $500 in rec
ognition Of his extra work this year.
He said that Heydler would earn the
increase by the assistance he would
give the new president. Heydler will
accompany Lynch in all meetings Of
the National Commission.
