THE LED MULE LODE.
The Donkey, Of Course, Closely Guards
the Secret of its Location. ...,


New York Sun: At the back Of Sar
BerEardino in southern California
| (Barnardino is the local pronunciation
lies the desert 1t is a land of aridity
and inveracity. Those who dangle the
| bait Of wealth say that over the hot
and painful waste lies the trail to the
lost lode, the Pegleg the Gunsight, the
Lost Cabin, the Spanish mine. May be
not all of these are exactly in this one
desert but they are all equally lost and
qually calling to the adventurous pros
pector. A fine prospect when the sea-
son is right for folk to pluck up their
courage to go on pilgrimages.
Into San Bernardino have just come
two prospectors, Col. Clyde Durham
and Lieut. Col James Desmond, foot
sore and empty handed. Five months
they have been pursuing a course in
practical mineralogy, a liberal educa-
ton in pure science, for it has brought
them no practical result. With them
has returned the faithful but ever mel
ancholy companion of their wander
ings, to wit: their pack mule; unfor-
tunately the record in our news omits
his name, and the omission is regret
table because the mule showed himself
superior, better man, better prospec-
tor. Footsore and empty handed the
wandering men, even more deservedly
footsore our fellow citizen this mule,
but not empty hoofed. In SAFE tr%ugh
inconvenient, lodgment between coro-
net and pastern he has brought back
from the gold trail the proof of wealth
He developed a limp, the chroniclers
of San Bernardino tell us, and thus lit
was discovered that in his hoof he
had concealed nugget, ESTIMATED to
be worth $780," Let us estimate also:
with gold at $40 the ounce troy, that
one ounce Of value, without allowing d
pennyweight to the quartz gangue
which must hold 1t. Considerable of
a dornick that; no wonder the mule
limped If only he had done as well
with the other hoofs! Fancy the pride
of ownership in a mule that essays
$4,000.
How like a mule this is. If it had
been pebble of barren country rock
no bigger than a pea, that mule, any
mule, would have trumpeted his woe
and have taken no step until the in
truaive geology had been extracted.
But when he stepped on float and
kicked up gold at the grass roots he
says never a word until he reaches
such civilization as San Bernardino af-
fords. Then he reveals his auriferous
deposit and sets the bipeds mad in the
sacred famish of gold. Somewhere
there is gold like pebbles, but it may
be any part of five months back track
on the trail of this mule who con-
cealed his limp.

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Grain Letter.

r Chicago Aug. 12.--Wheat-The mar
ket opened steady to 1-2 higher, eased
sfractionally and then advanced over 1c
per bushel. The early advance was
caused by the strength in the cables
and reports of export business to the
continent. There was some No. 2 Hard
wheat worked from here to Germany.
Baltimore reports cargo of No. 2 Red
sold to France. Philadelphia also re-
ports business done to the continent.
There seems to be no doubt therefore,
but that Europe is prepared to buy
some American wheat around the pres
ent range OF values. The failure of the
market to hold and marked advance
was due, we think, to skepticIsm re.
garding the foreign demand, besides
which there was considerable profit
taking which, to a large extent Offset
tie new buying. Unless speculation adj
Vances prices too rapidly we are in
clined to look for a steady demand
from abroad. Should this prove to be
a fact it will stimulate values and give
us a higher market.

Grain Opinions.

Bartlett, Frazier Co.: European de-
mand for wheat can very easily be an
important factor in price making if
they buy in large enough volume. The
falling off in the movement would also
be beneficial to prices. The near flu
ture may continue something Of a
weight on the market, but we believe
the deferred months should be bought
on the weak spots. We feel that IT
Is safer to keep away from the short
side Of corn at the present time.
Stocks are light and If reports con-
tinue to come of the same tenor as
those Of yesterday prices will UNI
doubtedly be made.
Finley Darrell & Co.: In view Of our
recent upturn in wheat and the fact
that short interest has been well elm
Iinated, we believe 1t advisable not to
ignore profits on any further hard
spots with a view of replacing on re-
actions which will undoubtedly by ex-
perience, unless receipts show ma
terial decrease or actual airport de-
mand develope
Logan & Bryan: If the cables fat
ten out we see little to prevent the
heavy situation here with movement
to market heavy and little demand for
the wheat.
Shearson-Hammill: The country is
selling old corn very sparingly, we are
inclined to think the tendency of prices
for the time being is upward
S. B. Chaplin & Co.: Chicago wheat
stocks while increasing rapidly will
all be needed and will not be an OPP
pressive factor. We believe conditions
warrant ultimately much higher
prices. H. w. Co.

The Gun Toter Cuts Loose AGAIN

st. Paul Pioneer Press: The gun
toter has gotten in his work again.
This time he was In Sioux Falls. and
succeeded in wounding a couple of
men before he was shot down. The
story is much the same in results,
from whatever quarter it comes. 1t is
one of dispute over probably some tri-
vial matter, as in the case with the
South Dakota negro, a row and as the
excitement increased there was resort
to a revolver that should not have been
in his pocket. The result is that today
one man is dead and two are seriously
injured who would be unframed but
for the all too prevalent custom of
carrying concealed weapons. a..
There are laws on the subject i'm
Sioux Falls just as there are in ST.
Paul, Yet there probably are scores of
men who are walking about in each
city prepared to deal out death on q
moments notice, and no one has any
idea when one of them will cut loose.
There should be a stop to gun toting.
There is no excuse for it. Neither st.
Paul nor Sioux Falls is unsafe for the
peaceable citizen and there is no oc-
casion for going armed The man who
carries a revolver should be considered
as looking for trouble, and should be
treated accordingly by the police. He
is menace to the safety of every one,
including the police, and should be
suppressed.
Tragedies such as that enacted at
Sioux Falls last Sunday may be ex-
pected so long as men are permitted to
make of themselves walking arsenals.
The public and police should realize
their own responsibility.
The first reform should be In the d.
rection of establishing means, so far as
possible, of identifying the gun carriers,
Of securing through dealers a list of
the men who purchase deadly weapons.
BY the exercise of that precaution, the
risk of being unprepared to deal with
gun toters will be greatly decreased.
Unless such precautions are taken vol
UNFAIRLY by the poplice or forced by
public sentiment, the police and the
public cannot escape a share in the
blame for the murders and murderous
of the man who carries a re-
volver 1t is their indifference thai |
makes his crimes possible.

There still seems to be considerable
