Here took side trip to Deadwood
and TO the mining town of Lead, the
noted gold fields of the world, where
had planned to pan out enough of
the yellow metal to make me rich, or
at least enough to pay my expenses,
but ! found them taking it out of the
ground at a depth of two thousand
feet, and after ! was shown through
one of the plants of one thousand and
twenty stamp capacity, and how they
recover the precious metal on huge
copper plates with the use of quick

Chicago, Oct. 10.--unmerciful slash

owing to reports of more drastic gov

by weakness of securities In Wall

was accompanied throughout the day
by assertions that under pressure from
Washington corn was destinated for
$1.OO q bushel to match with hogs at
$40 q hundred pounds. In connection
also with the talk of government reEu-
lation it was said a list of commodities
to be subjected to a. scaling down OF
values would be made public within a
