Proved to Be an Enormous Nugget.

Proved to Be an Enormous Nugget.
 Martin, weak though he was, set to work to dig his fallen comrades grave at the foot of a tree, and had dug down barely two feet when his spade struck hard, unyielding substance, which, to his amazement and delight. proved to be an enormous nugget, the largest ever found on the American continent. The Oliver Martin chunk" as 1t came to be known the world over, weighed 151 pounds six ounces, realized $3C,000 and was the nucleus of fortune of million dollars which Martin accumulated in later years.
 It is impossible to read far in the story of mining without being amazed at the large part luck has played in It. There is scarcely a gold field in the world some of the chief treasures of which have not been revealed by trivial accident. The famous Pil- barra field in West Australia might still hold its riches in concealment if 1t had not been for such an accident. A boy one day picked up a stone to hurl at crow and was so struck by its weight that, instead of throwing 1t. he examined 1t and found 1t covered with yellow specks, which. even to his inexperienced eye, suggested gold. He took the stone home, his father submitted it to miner and thus was

Cost of Living in Mexico.

Everywhere, as populations grow, there is the cry of the higher cost of living. Because ours is comparatively virgin soil as yet, the cost Is higher and the cry louder in nearly all other countries that have come far past barbarism, reclaimed their untitled lands and cleared forests. In Mexico. where rents have doubled, all prices are higher than in the United States. with wages nowhere near the level which has been attained here.

FOREIGN MARKETS.

LONDON, March 19.-The feature of the
week on the stock exchange was the sat
isfactory arrangement of the largest set
Element in years, the large expansion in
speculative and investment buying and
the higher bank rate. Operations were
checked slightly by the advanced bank
rate and dearer money Thursday. but
the week closed cheerfully and with
pretty general advance in quotations
with rubber and mining shares showing
the largest gains. Consols and few
other gilt-edged securities naturally suf-
fered fraction on the large Issue of
exchenuer bonds and good yielding Amer
lean bonds, but foreign securities and
home rails attracted steady support, while
rubber and oil shares continued conspic-
uous among speculative issues.
American securities were depressed by
labor troubles and unsatisfactory state
of the bond market, while fears of gold
shipments from New York to London to
kept prices down until today, when re-
newed support on the prospects of
better New York bank statement and ia
-vorable labor news caused a good rally
and brought the closing values within u;
point of last Saturdays level. Norfolk
and Western shares were exceptionally
strong and closed four points higher.
The sudden change in the money mar
ket, the foreign gold demands and the
rise in the bank rate disorganized the.
discount market at the time. but bills
have been taken more freely at the week
end and the three-month rate settled
down to 3a4 per cent. Money, however.
is not plentiful and moderate squeeze
is anticipated with the Easter holiday and
month-end requirements.
Money was temporarily easier today,
owing to the payment of maturing treas
ury bills. Discount rates we've firm.
The stock market finished a busy week
comparatively quiet. The exchequer bond
issue depressed gilt-edge securities and
home rails, but Central American bonds
improved, and Kafflrs and rubber shares
showed hardening tendency with good
business.
American securities opened steady in
sympathy with the strength In Wall
street yesterday. Later better labor news
and prospects of good New York bank
statement caused covering, and the mar

Effect of Labor Troubles.

Labor troubles during the week were
perhaps more in evidence than formerly
but the Philadelphia strike almost en-
tirely disappeared this week as stock
market factor, and, although reports
seemed to come from almost every state
in the Union of demands by railway en-
ployes for larger pay and reduced hours
Of labor, indications were strong that all
these disputes will be amicably adjusted aS
mittedly not good, inasmuch as substan-
tial basis was afforded for reports hith-
erto heard of damage to the winter wheat
crop. There appears to be no doubt that
after a certain amount Of winter freez-
ing and thawing over the winter wheat
belt the crop in that section is now be-
ing called upon to withstand something
of a March drought. But the extent of
the damage is as yet by no means fixed,
and it will probably prove to be the
! case as it was last year. that current
ideas as to the injury done are exag-

NEW YORK, March 1s.-Prices Of
stocks declined today, as was, perhaps,
only natural at the end of the week and
after rather sharp uplift in the two
days Immediately preceding. but the gen.
eral attitude of the market was one SEEM
ingly Of hesitation and of an instructive
desire to move cautiously until the many
conflicting factors in the present situation
become moro clearly defined. Quotations
at the opening were rather above those of
yesterdays close, but Hqufdating tend
ency at once asserted itself and prices
ended at or near the lowest of the day
with declines running to point or more
in the prominent issues.
The ultimate effect from a financial
point of view of current developments In
the House Of Representatives was per-
haps more carefully considered today in
Wall street than it was yesterday, as
were also all gathering Indications of a
higher money market. A sharp. break in
the price of Lehigh Valley stock in Phila-
delphia was not without it's influence and
there appeared to be especial pressure to
sell the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
common shares. No reason for this was
manifested other than the existence of a
general feeling that the labor troubles on
the st. Paul lines are somewhat more
acute than elsewhere.
