Heavy Buying of Pig Iron.

The buying movement in pig iron
showed considerable vitality this week.
Transactions exceeded 175 0oo tons. Since
January merchant furnaces have booked
orders for 1.5o5Ooo tons. Prices, although
slowly, are advancing. Among the largest
contracts placed this week were 400
tons of northern foundry grades for the
Pennsylvania railroad 10000 tons for the
Westinghouse Electric Manufacturing
Company. 10000 tons for the Interna-
tional Pump Company and $500 tons for
pipe works on the Delaware. Some south
ern foundry was sold. aggregating
1850 tons. for shipment to the north
west Manufacturers of steel pipe, plates
and structural shapes and railroad sup
plies in eastern Pennsylvania bought an
aggregate of 10000 tons of basic and
low phosphorus iron. and steel works
in the central west took 10000 tons of
Bessemer and basic.
Among finished products the most nota-
bic contracts closed were 5000 tons of
steel plates for the ottawa riveted pipe
line and 5000 tons structural steel
bought by the American Car and Four
dry Company. Steel building orders called
for about 24o5t tons fabricated steel, and
many new inquiries are out.
Oil companies placed orders for four
boats, calling for 1909 tons of steel. Rail-
road contracts continued to drag. Equip
ment orders included $4,000 tons of rails,
2.455 cars and hfty-tive locomotives.

Domestic Influences Felt.

Domestic affairs offered special grounds
for the irregularity of the stock market
this week. in addition to the more gen.
in money rates. The Importance attached
to the eastern freight rates case was
made plain in the weakness caused by the
to suspend until September the ) per cent
advance and in the recovery upon assur-
ances that the decision might be has
tened Railroads continue to refrain
from buying steel material pending this
decision. Stocks of companies with large
obligations maturing are sensitive in the
absence of definite arrangements to meet
them Reliance is placed on higher
freight rates as supplement to improved
money conditions in restoring railroad
credit
Sentiment was encouraged by reports
from Washington showing solicitude over
possible harm to business recovery from
acts of the administration. This was
shown in the treatment Of the freight
advance postponement, in the criticism
of the proposed investigation of unem-
ployment by the industrial commission,
and in the discussion of the new trust
bills.
Affairs in Mexico, which have exerted
slight influence during recent months.
were brought into the foreground once
more by the weeks developments. The
possibility of new complications tempo
rarily unsettled the securities market.
Paris continued to draw gold from New
York, in spite of the fall of exchange
rates The dependence OF foreign mar
kets upon New York for this relief was
proved when a tentative engagement of
gold in London for New York led to a
prompt rise in the private discount rate
in London.

RESCUE TEAMS TO
DEMONSTRATE The
EFFICIENCY OF MEN
PREPARATIONS FOR THE SAFE.
TY FIRST CONVENTION CO.
ING ON RAPIDLY.

Tonopah is preparing to send to
the Safety First convention at Reno
four rescue crews with the idea of
competing for the state champion
ship. The contest will be shared by
teams from Ely, Wonder and Fair
view, Blair, Goldheld and Tonopah,
and the miners are taking great
interest in the work. This camp has
several we'll trained crews and more
are in the making under direction of
the government corps from the bu-
reau of mines and by the time of the
Reno meeting Tonopah will be ready
to enter four teams to contest for
supremacy. The honors will be in
the shape of medals and for the pur
pose of stimulating interest in the
work rather than to excite interest
by offering large purses. The miners
of the state are the ones to profit
by perfection of methods and the ex
celence of the work means that al
any time the drih will be instrumen
tai in saving lives that are dear tC
wives and families.
For the purpose of interesting citi
zens IL is proposed TO hold an exhi
bition on a large scale in the bust
ness center for the ediflcation o
those who have not the opportunity o
seeing the men at work in the mines
The date set for this exhibition i
August 9th, which Is change Sun
day when all miners will be at lib
erty and therefore not compelled t
lose days pay by taking part, Th
site chosen for the demonstratiol
will probably be on Main street a
the intersection of Brougher. wher
the high sidewalks will permit spet
tators TO gain a full view of tn
work. The high buildings at tha
corner will also furnish vantag
ground for viewing the work. Th
contest will be for trophies who's
value will he trifling, as the rescu
teams are more desirous of stirrin
: up interest among the townspeopl
: than they are in securing any val
able consideration for their service

The first state board OF charities

planned that the gun went of by
accident, but Harrell was not to be
deceived and he told his slayer to 60
ahead and complete his dirty work.
There were no witnesses OF the
crime and the details Of the shooting
were furnished by Kermeen, whose
motive in confessing was to escape
the gallows. He showed not the
slightest remorse for his crime until
after 1t was learned that he had
killed another man in northern Cali
fornia under somewhat similar cir
cumstances.
Then only did he show the slightest
trepidation and he was constantly i'm.
portuning the jailers to tell him what
chances he stood for a life sentence
instead of the death penalty
Sheriff Malley says Kermeen was
always under suspicion when he was
in Tonopah and was believed to have
been instrumental In robbing the
Montana saloon two years ago. He
was arrested then. but allowed to go
after finger prints had been taken, as
the evidence would not have served
to convict. He also was supposed to
know something about the fire in the
State Bank building, which was COM
monty ascribed to crossed wires. He
was watched closely, but nothing in
eliminating was found and finally
Kermeen was ordered out of town
His mother lived in Goldfield during
the boom period of that camp.
kermeen was brought into notorl-
ETY. by the murder of woman OF the
underworld at Kennel, Cal. which
was followed in the course OF two
weeks by the killing of Harrell at
Bissee. Harrell was a bookkeeper
on the Copper Queen and was most
lovable character. A friendship
sprang up between the two and they
went on several short jaunts into
the mountains On one Of these trips
Kermeen and Harrell were standing
together with Kermeen holding a
small target rifle over his arm. Ac-
cording to the story of the slayer he
noticed the gun was pointing directly
at the heart of Harrell and he pulled
the trigger and shot him through the
side. Harrell fell and Kermeen stood
over him watching the agony when
Harrell cried out Finish me at once
you dirty dog" Kermeen said he was
so moved by the suffering of Harrell
that he placed the rifle at the head
of the suffering man and finished the
job, ito put him out of his misery
as he expressed it. Then he took a
$500 diamond, gold watch and $3.50
overlooking $40 in currency. The
diamond was pawned in his own name
at Bisbee pawnshop and Kermeer
took the first train for Ell Paso. H,
made no attempt to conceal his lden
tity and registered at the leading
hotel by his right name and was ap
pretended in two days after the bod,
