OF the rescued seventeen were the
crew and twenty-four passengers.
Officers of the revenue cutter Nc

survivors and fifteen dead, by the
beams of searchlight, say they saw
the wooden timbers of the vessel

was thrown in the water. Some
clung to wreckage, some floundered
ashore. some were towed by life lines

rescued by the McCulloch.

The meteoric career of Jumbo Ex
tension mining stock of Goldfield cul-
minated this morning when the two
dollar mark was reached. For weeks
,be sales OF this stock have averaged
S5.OOO to $4,000 a day. and the ad-
vance has been steady with only one
recession, when the stock receded
tfom SO to 35 cents. Recovery was
speedy ON the report that the show
ing Of the company wassof a striking
order and that the potentlalities OF
the property we're akin to those
which marked the grand flight OF Mo
hawk from 40 cents to $1S in the fall
Of 1906. AT first the upward move
ment was credited to manipulation
and ii is a singular fact that the first
heavy buying commitments came
from a coterie of Tonopah boosters
who picked up stock at prices rang
ing from 70 10 40 cehts. ~ II salu
that on this first bulge the buying on
Tonopah account absorbed 10000
shares, but ii is supposed that great
many Of those original investors took
profits around so cents and sl.OO Il
is matter OF conjecture whether
these men went back into the market
and loaded up with any more, but the
belief is held that a big block of the
stock is carried by Tonopah traders
The bulge this morning from

night was anticipated as natural
result OF the suicide Of broker IL

possession of Richardson's effects
and then notified Sheriff ingalls,, who
came to the place and changed the
combination OF the safe and attach
ing everything in sight. 1t was cur
rently reported that Richardson was
short of Jumbo Ex. from as low as
so cents up and as the market closed
yesterday In Goldfield with $3.50 bid
there was some anxiety expressed by
persons TO whom he owed stock. For
several days the apprehension was
felt that Richardson could not weath-
er the storm and the opportunities
of creditors became SO great that Il
is supposed the unfortunate man was
driven to the last recourse. He was
supposed to be $4,000 shares short.
Richardson was in Tonopah eleven
years ago and went TO Goldfelf
about one year after the discovery
Of that camp. He engaged in pros
pecting occupying himself in max
ing locations and selling claims
which gave him handsome return.
During the boom he embarked in the
brokerage business and was a mem
Der of the original exchange. He
\ was successful and after subsistence
of the boom he retained his office
on Ramsey street opposite the NJ &
I NJ. block. Later he entered into part
nership with James NJ. Fenwick, who
had retired from the position of sec
retary of the Goldfield Consolidated
Mines company. This partnership
continued for about a year, when
the firm dissolved and each member
continued in business on his indi
vdual account.
Richardson came originally from
Cripple Creek, where he had beer
engaged in the same business ano
also leasing with varying results

Death Pill Envelops People

During the early stage of the bonn.
bardment the screeching shells caused
an indescrlbable pandemOnium, later
the people became still as death under
the thunder of the guns which rose to
tumultuous cresendo when the full
broadsides were used.
When the ships drew off the sad
search for killed and wounded began.
AT the hospital, when the wounded be-
gan to arrive, the large entry hall wit
messed many pitiable scenes as anxious
relatives awaited the result of the sur
geon's examination. Among the
wounded were many women and chill
dren, an infant of four months having
its skull fractured by shrapnel while
in its mothers arms, who escaped un-
scathed. A surgeon at the hospital
also had marvellous escape when the
casing of an eight-inch shell burrowed
into the ground at his feet.
The military authorities. assisted bv
the police, directed the exodus of the
townspeople from the city. Women
were favored with seats on the trains
with the result that but few men de-
parted from the town.
Helplessness of Refugees
The pathetic helplessness of the refu.
gees brought home the reality of war
to this part Of England. Many poor
people whose homes were DESTROYED
sought refuge in nearby towns. Crowds
of these waited about the station.
thinking that the scenes of the morn.
ing were about to be re-enacted.
One of the first notices posted in.
structed citizens to bring to the DO.
lice station all unexploded shells. In
accordance with these instructions a
policeman brought in a proiectile which
he had picked up on the street. Elk.
animation showed it had not exploded.
so it was hastily plunged into buck
ct Of water.
By nightfall the town bore an out
ward appearance of calm but anxious
groups fingered about the streets.
Many of the persons in these groups
were unsparing in their expressions Of
resentment because the town was help,
less to retaliate on the raiders.

Wind and the Sun

Wind does not always go down with
the sun, but may blow from high to
low after sunset If wind starts to
NIL up low pressure area before sun
set it is liable to keep pouring in un.
til 1t is filed and equilibrium restored
If wind stops exactly at instant of sun,
set one may rest assured that the area
of barometrical depression is filed. If
wind blows from sea to land by day it
may stop at sunset and reverse direc-
tion. If it does the cause is that at
sunrise the sun S radiant energy heats
the land more than it does the water.
The land warns the air, increases its
rarity and it rises, producing a lower
pressure area, and cooler air from over
the ocean rushes in to fill it. After
sunsetland cools in less time than the
water, and the direction Of flow is re.
versed. But this may not always oc-
cur. Local causes, as fog, saturation
of air, electrical conditions and others
may prevent.-New York journal.

WAR OPENS TRADE IN CHINA
TO AMERICAN MANUFACTURES

Philadelphia, Dec. 17.-American
capital probably will obtain. increased
opportunities in China as result of
the war, in the opinion of William Bar
clay Parsons, consulting engineer, of
New York, who spoke last night at the
FRANKLIN Institute.
Foreign capital, almost altogether
from Europe, hitherto has been applied
to the modern Developments of China,
said Mr.. Parsons, who, in 1898 made
survey for the railroad from Hankow
to Canton, but the war will cut off the
sources of such investments. Accord
ingly, the field for the American who
will find himself free from competi-
tion with the investor of other wealthy
countries.
The lecture, under the title "An
American Engineer in China" was H.
lustrated with lantern slides from pho
tographs taken by Mr.. Parsons.
