His falling into this field assures that he will have a great following from Colorado, his money is a guarantee of success. for although he is a very bold operator, he is at the same time a cautious buyer. There is reason to think he has interested large New York capital in this enterprise, but he is not doing much talking himself. Winchester is a strong man. As he has secured one of the sure bonanza groups of the camp, he will make a quick record"
 New discoveries are reported from all parts of the district every few hours. The feeling of rush to excite ment and hopefulness stimulates ev- erybOdy. The excitement is not con fined to the camp but is as great in Salome as at the mines and town lots are changing hands at a dizzy rate. The road from SalOme out to the Bonanza has been lined with people going out all day, in carriages, on horseback, afoot, and everyway. Sa- lome is the center of the excitement and is the only place where livery rigs and hotel accommodations can be had.

A FURTHER SEARCH
 FOR STOLEN DOCUMENTS
Heney's Men Refuse to Recognize a Restraining Order.

San Francisco. March 2s.-Following the startling developments of yester- 1 day in the bribery-graft case, when five men, including the private secre-
 tary of William Burns, and four off cials of the United Railroads were ar 1 rested in connection with the alleged purloining and copying of documents from the office of Burns and the dis trict attorney. and the legal offices of the United Railroads were forcibly opened. the private safes of Patrick Calhoun and Thornwell Mullally, his assistant. were drilled open today and the contents examined.
 An examination of the papers of the safes were barren of results, accord ing to the searchers. As the search was almost finished, Stanley Moore, counsel for Calhoun, appeared with q restraining order signed by Superior Judge Murasky. enjoining the agents of Burns and the district attorney from proceeding with the work. Acting on instructions from Assistant District Attorney Heney. the men refused to recognize the order of the court and continued their search.
 Another development of the day was the arrest of Frank J. Murphy, who was taken into custody on a warrant charging him with receiving stolen property. He was immediately re- leased on s2500 bail. It is alleged that Murphy received some of the reports, and data said to have been stolen from Burns office. Murphy was associate counsel for Abraham Ruef during the latter's second trial Calhoun issued a statement tonight denouncing> the ac- tions of Burns and the district attOr- ney's office.
 Following the search of Calhoun's office. Detective Burns said: Cop ies of the reports and data gathered by his efforts for use in the graft cases were found in the offices of Patrick Calhoun and his attorneys, and that the confessions of the men arrested yesterday fully justify the action taken up. and furnish con vincing proof that my men were bribed and sold the secrets of the prosecution to the United Railroads" Burns stated that several hundred reports of investigations of venire- men made by his men were found in the search.

BUSINESS FELL OFF
 IN ALL COUNTRIES
The Low Record of the Years 1907 and 1908.

Washington, March 2S.-Interna- tional commerce made a lower rec ord in 1908 than in 1907 in practi- cally all the commercial countries of the world
 The bureau of statistics of the department of commerce and labor publishes in each issue of it's Monthly Summary of Commerce and Finance a table showing the imports and ex- ports of the principal commercial countries of the world down to the latest available month of the cur rent year This table shows the trade of more than dozen of the leading countries during the full calendar year 1908 and compares the same with the immediately preceding year. while. in those cases in which statis- ties for the full year are not yet available, the figures cover that part of the year for which official re- ports have been received.
 These figures of the imports and exports of the principal countries of the world in 1908, compared with 1907, show, as above indicated, in nearly every case a falling off in both inn ports and exports. In the commerce of the United Kingdom. for example. imports show a fall of $256.000,000 and exports a fall of $23S,00O.000, in the full calendar year 1908 compared with the full calendar year 1907. Tn the case of Germany. the imports show a fall of $102, 100000 and the exports a fall of s23.000,000; these figures being for the full calendar year of 1908 compared with the cal endar year 1907. In the case of France, the imports show fall of s25, 300. 900 and the exports a fall of $62, 500, 900. In the case of Belgium the imports show a fall of s32,000.0O0 and the exports a fall of S23.0OO,00O. Canada's imports show a fall of ss3,- OOO,OO and her exports an increase of s9,50O.OO0, while most of the other countries in the list show similar falling off, the chief exception being Argentina, which shows but slight
