The situation in regard to the met
al market August 27 to September 2,
inclusive, as reported by the Engineer
ing e. Mining Journal and Mining 4

changed.
The London correspondent of the

India and Australia, indicating .
slight improvement in the troll, Sit

Zinc.-Foreign demand for spelter
seems to have eliminated on August
26, at which time 6.10c per IL. was

regarded as only temporary. ~ fur
ther demand from abroad Is expected.
Shipments Of spelter from Austria
liza through the Suez canal arc tied
up, and some Australian companies
are negotiating with American zinc
companies to handle their ore via the
Panama canal.
Silver.-The arrival In London Of
an unusually large amount Of silver
from the United States has caused
a break in silver. but the market II

CURED early in the week, and had its
starting point in the belief that the
medicine man is all powerful and
when he fails to affect a cure, the
family of the patient who succumbs
to illness, has right to claim his
life in return. The wife of Tomasito
Panza died recently and her husband
blamed Lucas Garfield, who treated
her, bitterly for not saving her life. |
Tuesday he indulged too freely in
"firewater" and while under its in
fluence was determined to have the
penalty for his wife's death. He met
his intended victim out in Canon de
lie Burra, in company with Henry
Montoys and man by the name of
Martinez. He not only shot and kill |
ed Garfield, but tried to kill Mar
tinez. Then he went to Garfield's
tent and shot his wife. Henry Mon
toya's wife was in the camp when
the shooting occurred and she, with
her four children attempted to run
to a place of safety. In their efforts
to escape the children became sepa-
rated and one child, girl, is miss
ing. The Indian police were skirm-.
ishing the country, according to last
report, for the guilty man, and the
missing girl, whom 1t is feared was
also murdered.
