Jainra Demereau. who baa a good prospect n the Copper Queen, a short distance from Cuater City, laat week put a forre of mrn at work on the ground. The work will be In the nature of assessment, hut ahould the ore body on which he has aunk a shaft for bout fifty feet continue to Improve he may keep the men at work all of the wlnte The ore at the present time carries a fair per cent of copper. They hare recently been striking some very rich ore In the Ia Roy mine, which Is located four miles west of this city, a sam ple taken from the bottom of the shaft going almost $1,000 a ton; but thla is, of courae, an exception. They have some very good ore In the LeRoy. which will run about $25 to the ton free milling, and it is aaid that the vein whera they are now working ia about twelve feet In width. It la the In tention to continuo the shaft for another 100 feet and then establish a station and begin drifting on the vein. The mine Is looking good and there seems to be no rea son why It should not soon be a producer. A number of the officials of the North Btar Mining company have recently visited the mine and appeared to be very well pleased with the outlook of the property lor the future. The North Star ia prob aBly one of the best developed properties In thla district and haa upon It a new ten stamp mill, which has been running at In tervals on ore taken from the workings, a lack of water, preventing Ita constant opera tion. Thla difficulty will soon be over come, and with a sufficient water supply the mill will run regularly. The ore treated la the mill haa proven to carry good value and will pay handsomely to work. The company la now considering the 'advisa bility of erecting a cyanide addition to thl Mill, aa the tallinga carry high values, and hope to have It In operation early In th cOmlng year. Recent explorations from tho bottom of the 300-foot shaft with the dia mond drill have disclosed a twelve-fool Teln of ore, which will be drifted for from the shaft, and this, In addition to the eup ply already blocked out, should suffice tc keep a much larger plant than the one now on the mine-In constant operation. Assays from the drill cores show the ore to be of a good grade and of a free milling character. Tho tailings cyanide plant, which It Is pro posed to put In operation with the stamp mill, ahould save about all the values in the ore, and l this is done there can be no doubt concerning the future proflta of the nine.

(Special.) 'While driving a tunnel last spring on the ground of the Trent company Carbon dale district, a shoot of exceedingly rich chloride ore was struck, wh'ch gave assiy returns of as high as 300 oun-es of s'lver to the ton, some of It being very much richer. Thla shoot was atruck In the floor of the tunnel, whl-h was being driven In on an Incline to strike tbe porphry contact. As water was coming In very fast, the work at the time was abandoned, with the Intention of resuming aa soon an arrange ments could be made to put in a pump. Tbe date of resuming had been postponed until last week, when a force of men wa pat to work on the mine, but not In the tunnel where the rich ore was atruck. Pres ident Haskell of tbe compauy, who Is In charge of operations, concluded that the shoot of ore struck in that tunnel was but a stringer from the main ore body, so he baa started the miners working in another tunnel, rom which. In his opinion, it will not be so far to go to reach the main ahoot. The ore, which occurs In a small stringer, la Identical to the ore which was taken from the Iron Hill mine when that famous property was paying such large dividends on sliver ores, and the Indications are that there will be struck a large body of It In the Trent. Mr. Haskell will keep the present fores of Ben engaged all of the winter. Waap I aent down two brlcka for the semi-monthly cleanup of Its cyanide plant on Yellow creek the first ot the month, and both together weighed something bet ter than $10 000. Transfer of Shamrock. Negotiations are pending for the transfer t the 8hamrock mine, altuated on Big Strawberry, about Ave miles south of Dead wood. Tbls mine has been one ot the beat producers of silver-lead ore on a small seals of any In tbe Black Hills. It Is owned by Christ lansoB Cunningham, who for a Tear paat have been making shipments of three cara every two weeks to the smelters at Omaha and Denver, the lead In tbe ore paying for the treatment. Tbe ore occurs la the flat formations, and the aboot which haa been worked Is from a tew Inches to three feet In thickness, but tbe late shoot appears to be growing larger. The ownera bars mads a pretty good thing out ot their ore shipments, some of It carrying as high as lOu ouaces to the ton, while Its average Tslue haa been about eighty. In tho work leg tunnel, about 13S feet from Its portsl, a small vertical carrying gold waa atruck In lbs floor, on which a shaft about twenty feet In depth baa been aunk.

Should the present owners not aell the mine It la their In'cntlon to develop this vertical, and to that end will cut out a large chamber at the place where they have ttarted the shaft, and put In a small hoist, making thefr ship ments of ore from the fat formation pay for the development of the vertical and the cost of Instnlllng the hoisting plant. The Sham rock was one of the earliest mines to pro duce silver-lead ore and make It pay. The deep snow la already driving proa pectors Into the cities, the late storm hav ing filled tbe gulches in the higher parta of the Hills for a depth of several feet. In the district around Custer peak, where a great deal of prospecting haa been going on, the snow Is at least three feet deep on the level, and haa drifted badly In places, making It almost impossible to get around except on skis or web snowshoes. Miners In from the district, however, say that the work done by the prospectors haa shown up some very good prospects, and a number of fine ore bodies have been uncovered. SUPREME COURT SYLLABI. 122S7. Stewart against Rosengren. Error from Iancaster county. Affirmed. Pound, C, Division No. 2. 1. In an action within the purview of sec tion 60, Code Civil Trocedure, In one county, against a defendant who haa no real or bona fide Interest In the controversy between the plaintiff and a co-defendant resident In another county, a summons cannot be Issued and served upon the latter In auch other county, and he may avail himself of the want of Jurisdiction over his person by timely plea thereof. 2. In such case, it la Immaterial that there ia a several and distinct bona fide contro versy between the plaintiff and the de fendant resident in the county. If the other defenonnt haa no Interest or liability there in and the resident defendant has no inter est or llHolilty in the controversy between the plaintiff and the defendant resident In the other county, since, under those cir cumstances, the causes of action are not profieriy joined. 3. The mere fact that two distinct and several contracts with two different persons are tor the performance of the same serv ice, will not authorise causes of action against such persons upon their several couttacta to be joined In one action. 4. The court will take Judicial notice of Its own record in the cause then betore It, and the process and return by winch It has acquired Jurisdiction ned not be put In evidence. ft. It Is the duty of a plaintiff In error to bring to this court a sufficient tran script of the record to show error affirma tively; If there Is not enough upon the face of the transcript to cause the Judgment to appear necessarily erroneous, the pro ceedings In error must fail.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE WELL RECEIVED Gold Kaporta to Ararentlno Attrart Attention, Mot o Marh for Their Amnint aa that New York Snppllea It. NEW YORK) Dec. 7. (Special.) Henry Clews In his weekly letter says: No real Improvement In the stock market Is yet In sight. An unsettled tone prevails and the monetary situation continues un favoraole to operations for the rise. While this condition continues the buiia are likely to remain under cover and await more favorable opportunities. Call and thirty day money rates hiiAe been especially firm, and there ia a disposition to wait until preparations for January disbursement and settlements incidental to January are over betore a.sunili,g any new obligations. Loanable funds are relatively scarce and command good rates, lenders still showing sharp scrutiny and conxcrvaism both as to loans and collateral. As expected, cur rency is returning from the interior more slowly than last year because of great ac tivity in the west and becauHe of the large corn crop, compared with a failure last year. Even the contraction of loans en forced by the banks during the last two months has afforded no visible relief, though It may have averted more disagree able consequences. The supply of cur rency Increased 116.5H),WO during the month of November, but this, too, bad no appre ciable effect. The truth Is that trade ac tivity, crop demands and syndicate opera tions have practically exhausted the avail able supply of money, and until the demand from somo of these sources abates no per manent relief can be expected. Very Soon crop money will come back more freely, but any easing In rates Just now would ap parently facilitate gold exports, which have already begun on a small scale; so It is evident there are no large sums In eight for stock market purposes, and aa this is the key to the situation the prospect for an active buying movement Is somewhat re mote. Trusts Not Alarmed. The president's message was well re ceived. His utterances on trusts, tariff, currency and othtr questions were about wr.at were expected and had no effect upon tne stock market. The prospects of any of hiM recommendations being acted upon dur ing' this session of congress are very re mote. The trust question seems likely to br.ng on a prolonged struggle, the issues being too numerous and complex to admit of hasty or radical legislation. As to cur rency, the chances of early action, desir able aa that may be, are very remote. There is a keener appreciation of the neces cltv of currency retorm, the result of re cent experience, and a clearer idea of what legislation It most needed; but tha clash of opinion between the advocates bf dif ferent measures is almost sure to prevent action during this session of congress. In Jact no Important legislation Is anticipated this winter, so the stock, market ought to be comparatively free Of disturbances originating in Washington. Trade reports continue satisfactory. The crest of the boom seems to have paesed from the east across the Appalachians and is now undet full headway for the Pacific coast. Near the Atlantic seaboard the signs of recession during the last six months have been unmistakable. Only another sea son of good crops saved us from unpleasant consequences. Now that Irrational specu lation has been checked there Is a chance for a readjustment of values upon a more normal bants. W hen that is accomplished we shall have a better and safer market than the present. Hank clearings sre show ing smaller gains than last year. Katlroad earnings, of course, make good compari sons 'with 1901, for traffic la heavy and equipment Is overtaxed, but net earnings are often showing significant losses, not Including the coal roads, which suffered severely from the strike. As previously stated the high cost of labor and raw ma terials Is materially swelling the expense ratio of the railroads; and, when business falls back to normal proportions, less will be spent for Improvements and wages will have to come down and dividends be re duced, unless the railroads can squeeze more money out of shippers, which Is very Improbable. The outlook for tha indus trials is much less flattering than for the railroads, for these are handicapped by atock watering, as well as the excessive de mands of labor. v 1 ; - , Gold for Argentine. .

The message of President Roosevelt and the re ports of Secretaries Long aiwl Bhaw gen erally anawered expectations, and there fore did not exercise a wide influence, es pecially as Wall street owes less In Lon don today than for a long time past.

Business on the bourse last week was unusually stagnant, but values were fairly firm. On some days many standard securities failed to get a quotation owing to complete lack of any Tractions. Domestic 8s were somewhat more active, but were fractionally lower. Other denominations were slightly higher and foreign rentes were bIho generally higher. All classes nf industrials Improved moderately. Coal shares were on an aver age 2 points better upon the protracted cold weuther, and in spite of declining ex ports to France Iron shares showed frac tional gains. Electrical shares Improved notwithstanding the pessimistic views re garding the Industry expressed at the an nual meeting of the Allegemelne Electric staeta ( ttsellschaf t by the managing direc tor of the company.

More cornfed stteia arrived this week than at any time lor several months, and in fact packers had to depend almost en tirely upon the comfeds for their supplies, as there were very few western grussers that were good enough for killers. The market took a drop on Monday and Tues day owing to the big slump In Chicago, but since that time the tendency of prices has been upward, and the loss has all been re gained and about a d'.me besides. The top price ot the week was 16.60, but a finished load ot cattle of good quality ought to bring $6.50 or better. The cow market has been In good shape all the week and prices have moved stead ily upward on all kinds. Aa compared with the cloBe of last week the market may be quoted 15&25c higher, and the week closed with the market strong and active. Each day's offerings changed hands freely and nothing was carried from one day to the next. Bulls, veal calves and stags are also fully aa high as they were a week ago, with the better grades In good demand. The receipts of stockers snd feeders were light all the week, so that although the demand from the country waa rather lim ited, prices aovanced all the way from 10c to 25c. The greatest advance waa on the better grades, as the demand was con fined mostly to that claaa of cattle. Com mon stuff waa alow aale, but still the prices paid were fully as good as those in force a week ago. The receipts of western rangera showed a big falling ott this week, and very few of the steers that arrived were good enough for killers. The market could be quoted about steady with the close of last week. Range cows have udvanced 16&26o and so also have desirable grades of stock ers and feeders. Representative sales: BEEF tiTEERB.
