RICH ORES IN THE FLAT FORMATION nTwelTe-Font Vein Found at the Pert la ad Mine Which Creates a Sea- atlon Kim Mining- Deal Inder War, OALENA, 8. D.. Jan. 18. (8pr-clal.) Since the first of the year there hat been quite a boom la the Bare Butte mining district and several properties are being worked on which It had only been Intended to do the annual assessment. The Cooper ground on Ruby gulch, In the lower end of this camp. Is now taking out ore for shipment, a rich hoot of slllcioua ore having been struck In the flat formation. Th3 work hereto fore done on thl group of claims has been on the ore verticals, of which there are three In the group. All of there verticals have been prospected for depths rsnglng from 125 to seventy feet and In former days quite an amount of rich gold ore has been hipped from them. The ore In the flat formation, while known to exist, had not been worked, all the work having been put In on the verticals, but the prospecting which was done before the first of the year showed this ore to be as rich at that taken from the verticals, so after the assessment had been done development of the shoot was continued and the ore la being sacked for shipment. The property Is owned by Mrs. Ludlow of Galena and James Oalvln of Bturgls. Portland's Hleli Strike. The sensation of the hour In the camp Is the rich strike which baa been made In the Portland mine, a short distance above the Cooper ground In Ruby gulch, and owned by the Ruby Mining and Milling company. The trlke was made In a drift which had been started from what Is known as the south tunnel and which was following along the course of a vertical cut by the tun nel. The drift had been driven In about sixty feet on the vertical when the rich ore was struck. It fills the face of the work ing and appears to all carry free gold. The vein at this point has been crosscut and Is bout twelve feet wide. Besides this verti cal a number of other ore bodiea have been exposed and developed on the Portland, all of which are free-milling and carry gcod commercial values. The company has ar ranged for the erection of a mill In the spring for the treatment of Its ores. The company la a close corporation, the stock being held by a few people and none of It Is for sale. Shipments of ore are being made dMly from the Crown Point mine, on Strawberry, and arrangements are being made to In crease the output of the mine. The ore Is porphyry and the work Is being done In an open cut on the side of a steep hill. The deposit Is an Immense one, but the rich ore Is confined to a narrow streak about fifteen feet In width and this carries high values. The entire hill prospects and with a big plant operating on It almost all of the material would pay to treat. The ore Is an Ideal one to treat by cyanldatton sad It Is said that the owners of the ground are considering a proposition to erect a plant In the spring. At present the ore Is being shipped to the Rosslter cyanide plant In Deadwood tor treatment. Mar Start Its Plant. The Union Hill company Is running a tunnel on the Emma mine, situated In the heart of Galena, and la getting out some very good ore. This Is "one of the mines from which, when tho company was op erating several years ago on an extensive seals In the district, it produced Its rich-, est ore, and which would have paid hand somely. The company owns a statu,! mill and a smelter In Galena, and it Is rumored that, should developments on the Emma warrant, It will make some necessary changes In the plants and again start them P. Shipments of rich silver-lead ore are being regularly mado to the smelter In Deadwood from the Monarch mine, which la holding Its own in the matter of pro duction, although but a small force of miners Is employed getting out ore. The Golden Crest seventy-flve-ton cya nide plant la running regula.iy on ore from the property and will make Its first cleanup In a few daya. Work In the mines of the company has exposed several new ore shoots, all cf which carry fair commercial values, and the ore supply now on hand and In reserve Is sufficient to keep the present plant running for years. Other Prosperous Companies. The Redwater Mining company, on Two Bit, has bad a large force of men employed doing the necessary work on Its ground, preparing the different claims of the com pany for patent. The company will shortly begin active development work on some of Its mines. Work will be resumed on the Sandy and Rattlesnake mines next week. These mines last spring and summer shipped a great deal of high-grade ors to the Deadwood treatment plants, they being at that time worked under lease by Dart Harris, who hat again taken them and who will again get out ore for shipment. The Dakota Msid and the Gilt Edge, the two most famous mines In the district, which have been Idle since last fall, are again being prepared to start up. Both were closed down on account of legal diffi culties, which have new been settled. The Anaconda Mijilug company, on the divide between Bare Butte creek and Elk creek, haa received a hoist capable of lift ing mat-rial from a depth of 1,000 feet, and It Is being moved over to the property and will be In running order In about a week. The company Is going doa on a strong vertical of ore, which csrrles values rang ing from $18 to $25 a ton gold. The ore Is free milling and similar to that found In the Clover Leaf. Groshong Broa., In the same neighborhood, are doing assessment and development work on their property and the results are very encouraging. They are sinking on a twelve-foot vein of free milling ore. Blv Ueal'lnder War. DEADWOOD. 8. D.. Jan. 18. (Special.) T. W. Bradley, president of the Bunker Hill-8ulllvsn mine, the most extensive min ing corporation In the Coeur d'Alene coun try, has been In the Hills for the last week and It la rumored that his purpoae here Is to purchase the control of the Dakota Min ing and Milling company, together with the Interests of the Portland Mining company. The deal, should It go through, will be one of the biggest that has ever been con summated In the Black Hills, tor It will Sot only take in the extensive treatment plants of the Dakota company In Dead wood, but will Include aeveral hundred acres of the most valuable mining ground on the weat slope of Bald mountain. This ground has been producing for over a year, and within its Hues are same of the richest mines on the sillclous ere belt. The plant of the company in Deadwood has a dally rapacity of 200 tons, and it has psld ever -since Its starting up, almost two years sgo. The deal has been pending tor several months, and during that time the work of gathering the control of the stock has been going on, and It is now held by a tew people, who. It Is said, will realise hand' somely from their Investments. The Port land deal, while connected with the pres ence of Mr. Bradley In this section. Is etajats from the Dakota jlal, but as the ground of the Portland adjoins the holdings of the Dakota It has been thonght best to Include It In the purchase. The money con sideration which will figure in the trans action Is a heavy one and will approximate $1,000,000. Mr. Bradley la one of the best mining men In the weat and lbs manage ment of the Bunker Hlll-8ulllvan mine proves that. Timber for a Sawmill. The Lucky Strike Mining company, oper ating In the Germanla mining district on Elk creek, this week began the hauling of timbers for the erection of a sawmill on tta property, which will be utilised for the purpoae of getting out timbers and lumber for the treatment plant which it will erect this spring. The main working shafl of the compsny, which wss started some little time ago on the property at the Junction of two verticals of ore. Is now down sixty feet and going deeper every day. The ore through which the shaft Is bsing sunk Is free-milling and of a fair grade, but it is believed that the quality will grow better as greater depth Is attained. A tunnel which was started on Ihe Bird vein, one of the mines of the group, Is In 225 feet, and for 120 feet of this distance follows along the footwall of the vein. Crosscuts have been started In one or two places In the tunnel and aa the ore Is of a good grade, going from $12 to $16 free-milling per ton. It will be sorted and stored for treatment when the company completes Its plant. A little work Is being dono on the other claims of the group, and In many of the openings good showings of ore have been made. The vein on which the double com partment working shaft Is going down has been crosscut and shows a width of twenty-four feet, while that of the Bird mine Is from twelve to eighteen feet In width. Both are verticals, and It Is thought when the shaft reaches the ssme depth on the vein It Is going down on as has been gained on that on which the tunnel has been driven, that Its values will equal those of the latter. The company has built offices and houses at the mine for the accommo dation of Its workmen and' officers, and al though it has a good force of men employed at the . present time It will Increase the number within the next two weeks, and rush the opening of the two principal veins.

"You will please par don me for stopping in the middle of my sermon, but I am suffering from an old Injury to my hip today and find It im possible to continue. Kindly paas out at the conclusion of the benediction and pro ceed to your homes without the usual clos ing services." In this way Rev. Frank Ounsaulus dis missed the congregation of the People's church at the Studebaker theater. His auditors, who had listened to the first part of the sermon, were surprised at Its sud den termination and passed out of the building quietly, not knowing that the pastor had dismissed them suddenly to avoid a panic. The theater was rapidly filling with smoke when Dr. Gaunsaulus brought the services to a sudden close. The trouble was found later to be with a broken furr.ace, but It was said there was no danger from fire. ARMOUR T0JJUILD VILLAGE Kansas City Improvement Scheme I e elndes Xew Industrial nnd Rallrond Center. KANSAS CITV. Jan. 18. In an Interview here tonight. J. Ogden Armour, In apeaking of the Improvements the Armo'ir Interests have in contemplation here, said: The Hates Interests, Including the land on the river frc-nt and Ihe l.u acres In Clay county, will be developed at once. Our plans (or a union depot entering Kan e is City and the completion of the tlg bridge atrnsa to our holding at Harlem will be pushed to a conclusion as rapidly as consistent with Iborojghness and the Sest Interests of all concerned. We expect to settle our holdings In Clay county with factories and railway yards. There will be an Industrial diatrlct there that will be a source of pride and prollt to fl concerned. This Industrial vlllsre will be developed and a great railroad center built across the river and without any detriment or handicap to the growth of the territory iriuuiary to siaoaaa .city. STOCK MARKET UNCERTAIN T J 1 r n .., iuipruveu monetary uonaitionfj Lause a Better Undertone NEW ENTERPRISES DEMAND MUCH MONEY So Morn Is Needed for These Purpose There Is Little to Spore at Pres ent for Speculative Par poses. NEW TORK, Jan. 18. tSpeclnl.)-Henry I?W"' weekly market letter, says: kivmh murnt-i is pursuing a Snmewnat uncertain course. A dec.drdlv better under tone prevails, owing to Improved monetary conditions, but nil attempts to create anv general upward aggressive speculative movement meet with only llntlted success. The ral powers In the market seem averse to encouraging any violent bull speculation at present. They seem equnllv averse to permitting a decline of nnv consequence, but perfectly willing to permit a fluctuating market in which values will gradually Mud their natural level. This firm but con servative control of the market hy power ful Interests is the striking feature, and In some respects It appears to lie nHturnl outgrowth of the policy of concentration which haa been going on for the last few year. Whatever may bo said of the vast combinations recently created, so long na maintained they certainly possess immense steadying powers and are n positive check upon violent fluctuations, though incapable of preventing ordinary ups nnd downs. Loner Money nates. As to the monetary prospects, the indica tions arc for lower rates than prevailed during the last three months of 1Ti2. t'ntll the crop demands assert themselves there appear to be no shoals ahead save the April settlements and the July disburse ments. For the next nine munths there should be fairly clear s.illlng. if specula tion is kept within reasonable limits. Nevertheless, the supply of loanable funds Is not likely i prove over atiutni nit i lv demand for capital from new enterprises Is enormous, and the Inelasticity of our currency system tends to encourage firm rates. Two very significant events have recently occurred the floating of $2.,0n0.fl00 of one-year notes nt 6 per cent by Lake enore, inaorsea oy iew lorn central, and the large Issue of Pennsylvania equipment notes on a 44 per cent basis. Both of these corporations possess the highest credit and are considered towers of financial strength, yet they are poylng fully 1 per cent more for money than they would have dono twelve months ago. The fict Is there are Immense amounts of corporation paper held by strong Institutions; nnd. in view of the big deals contemplated or In progress, there Is little probability of any superabundance of funds for some time ahead. Hank re serves should show a steady rise during the next few weeks, nnd the tendency ought 10 oe lowaros easier rites; nut It is plain there will be little to spare for extravagant speculation. Stork Market Improves. In other respects the stock market situa tion Is Improving. Railroad earnings con tinue to show gratifying gains, traffic la still phenomenally heavy, and, In spite, of the great additions to rolling stock, the railroads remain unable to properlv handle the enormous amount of freight "pressing upon them. Nor Is any letup in sight. All this means that the industrial activities of the country are unchecked. Consumption Is going along at hlgh-woter mark, stimu lated, of rourse. by the active employment of labor at good wages. Production also, as a rule, is being carried on up to the fullest limit. In fact the whole country Is steaming nt high pressure with Industrial development, the only source of complaint neing tne aecnning pronts or Dusiness ulnl the late over-expansion In the financial markets. From the latter trouble we are now fortunately recovering. Foreign Market Better. Some Improvement can also be noted In the foreign markets. France has shown uneasiness owing to Internal political trou bles, but there has been a nartlat rrcoverv In Germany from the Industrial depression or lnui and ana in ureat Krttain a much more confident temper is displayed. Prostration following the Boer war Is grad ually disappearing, and British enterprise shows symptoms of revival. Thus far these changes have not expressed themselves In any return of demand for American stocks, distrust of American financing still being detp-rooted with the foreign Investor. A prolongation of activity on this side of the Atlantic may. however, change foreign opinion, especially as we have largely re duced our Indebtedness abroad and shown very recently striking ability and resource fulness in meeting a crisis. Anti-trust and tariff agitation are not favorable to the stock market. Recent events connected with the coal crisis are also calculated to create political disturb ances. These are Influences on which the investor, and especially the speculator, must Keep a close watch. It must be con fessed, also, that many stocks seem ex cessively high and not very attractive In vestments while money continues at Its present level. If money remains dear these nlgh-prlwd stocks will have to yield, un less better dividends are In sight. On the other hand, there are plenty of stocks which have not had an advance corre sponding to their improved condition, liy careful discrimination such stocks cun he picked up at a profit, for we are likely to have an irregular market offering good opportunities for quick turns. Foreign Financial. LONDON. Jan. 18. Business durlnar thl past week on the Stock exchange was without feature, witn the exception of Kaffirs, which were generally lirni on re ports of the settlement of the loans and the war contribution of Colonial Heeretarv Chamberlain's official announcement at a banquet last night at Johannesburg changes tne ngures oi tne government loan by 5,000,000 and brings the total up to a.05.000.000. but the d. finite announcement doubtless will have a beneficial effect on tomorrow's opening. Consols have weak ened sitgntiy in anticipation or this loan. Interest in the American department cen tered on Erles on rumors, denials of which apparently not deterring speculations. The remainder of the American list was Ir regular, a'though Saturday's closing showed strengtn, pointing, it is thought, to the arrival of sold from New York. Th for eign market was dull, but with tendency to improve. Money remains scarce and Is likely to continue so until the end of the financial year. UERDIN, Jan. IS. The bourse showed several strong features last week. While the market was disappointed over Minister of Finance Kheinbaben's pessimistic utter ances on the business situation and lower estimates In the Prussian budget for rail road rupplies than Were expected, values were generally maintained. The most striking feature of the week was the re covery In the shares of ocean navigation companies on the announcement that the dividend of the Hamburg-American Steam Packet compuny would reach 4 per cent, as against 6 per cent last yeir, whereas operators had expected a dividend of only 1 per cent. The atatement Issued by the Hamburg company that the outward freight market had greatly Improved through heavy shipments to the I'nlted States al.-'o aided the recovery. Th. foregoing an nouncement carried the shares of all ocean navigation companies up stronnly the Hamburg-American gaining 5.40 and North German Lloyd l.fii, hut yesterday a Bremen news agency announced that he earnings this year of the North German l.loyd com pany would be 15,'0.X4i or lil.flno.ooO marks, as against 19,000,000 mirks last year, and the company was probably passing a divi dend owing to heavy write-offs. The last dividend paid by the North German Lloyd was 6 per cent. The second featii'e of the market was the strength of the coal shares as result of the coal scarcity In the I'nlted States, the abolition of the coh! duly In that country and the large shipments of Eng Hah coal to the I'nlted States. Coal oper ators argue that there will be an Increased demand for German coal as a result of this diversion of the English surplus. Irons barely held llieir own this week, notwithstanding the fact that th? news from the producing centers was mostly somewhat better. Other Industrials, espe cially sines, textiles slid real estates, were firm. Hanks were ruoderat. lv high. Do mestic loans were weak. Domestic 3s de clined slluhtly nnd this market was prac tically without buyers, owing to the forth coming new Issues. Forelen rentes were mostly string, espe cially Russians, which touched their hiKh et figure ss a result of thu en. id Impres sion treated by Financ Minister Wlttec-'s budget report. Th- Turks. Portuguese, Roumanians and Hungarian crown rentea were also very strong. Money rose moderately the middle of the week, owing to demands for the repayment of loans to th Relchlank ond heavv offer ings of American drafts. Rates are now down, money being very abuiviant and the demand light. Foreign exchange Is ac cordingly rtrm. e ee'Hl y on lm.1nn. Paris and N-w York Kxchung on New York rose 2i fKS during the wok. Dry tiooc's Mr.rL.rt. MANt'll K8TK It. Jan. IV 1UV (;oo)rt The cloth market showed a strong tone in several C.lrecttona last week. Quotations l:i rr--i im'tK'i were mostly hUher. Im portant business has been executed 1 u t I y auu sellers sue tuwre ludopviiduuu The ad- vance In the price of cotton has provoked different opinions regarding the immediate result, some persons maintaining it has checked business, while others declare It has brought business out.

A good market pre vails, however, and considerable business has transpired In all descriptions of China staples. Th Calcutta turnover Improved the demand and the smaller outlets are healthy. Yarns Improved In inquiry and the turno-er was fairly satisfactory. PLAGUE DRIVES MAN MAD Over One Hundred Die at Masat'an and Mnnr Men Are Sick. MAZATLAN, Jan. 18. There have been 107 deaths from the plague since January 1. The deaths on the 15th numbered seven and many new rases were reported. The number of Wooden bouses burned Is 106.

MARACAIBO, Venezuela, Jan. 18. The German cruiser Tanther shelled Fort San Carlos at the entrance to Lake Maracatbo yesterday afternoon for one hour. The fort returned the fire with four guns. Panther then withdrew in the direction of Curacao. Fort San Carlos Is twenty-two miles from Maracalbo and commands the entrance to the lake, or inner bay. The following offi cial report has been Issued by General Bello, the commander of the fort: Yesterday afternoon it 12:30 o'clock San Carlos was attacked and shelled, without any provocation on our part, without pre v ous notification or the delivering of an ultimatum, by the German cruiser Pan ther, which tried to force the entrance. After a tight lasting an hour, during which the fort used only four guns, Panther was obliged to abandon the fight nnd retreated in the direction ot Curacoa. The fort has Buffered no damage and only three men wuuuueu. SEEK TO MINE MORE SILVER Mexican Proprietors Bay Marhlnery to Increase Store of White Metal. MEXICO CITY, Jan. 18.

A finding that the property is benefitted "to the full amount In each case of said proposed levies" is not so defective In not finding the property assessed to be bene fitted proportionally to Its frontage as to warrant an Injunction against collecting a tax levied on that basis. 9.

Mere testimony by a county clerk to the conclusion that prior to a certain time the general fund levy of that year was exhausted and the lust warrant driwn on it bore date about a month before the one sued on does not require a reversal of a finding that the latter Is valid. Such a conclusion does not overcome the presump tion that officers do thetr duty. 3.

For the week receipts have been a little In excess of laBt week, and also of the pame week of last year. The receipts for the year to date show a decrease as com pared with the same period of last year. Hut while supplies have liot been excessive ut this point the Chicago market has been flooded this week, about 75,000 head being reported on sale at that market. The de mand was hardly equal to the occasion and prices suffered a decline amounting to 20y 30c, which, of course, had some effect upon the river markets. Taking the week as a whole the beef steer market at this point haa been In very satis factory condition. The demand has been brisk practically ail the week, and each day's offerings were well cared for. On Wednesday prices suffered a little decline owing to the break In Chicago, but the week closed with prices on the more de sirable grades no moro than a dime lower. The half fat kinds In some cases may be 15c lower. The bulk of the fair to good cattle are selling from $4.10 to $4.75, and the better grades bring from $4.75 to $5.00, while a finished load ought to sell consid erably above those figures. The cow market has also held up In very satisfactory manner all the week. The big bulk of the receipts consisted of cow stuff, hut still the demand was sufficient to handle the supply without much break In prices. About the middle of the week there was a little break, but the week closed with a strong and active market, and prlcea very near back to the close of last week. The choice grades are selling largely from $3.75 to $4.25, with a few sales above that figure. The medium grades sell largely from $2.73 to $3.40, and the commoner grades from $2.00 to $2.75. The market on bulls suffered quite a break and Is safely 25f40c lower than early last week. Veal calveB, though, have been strong all the week. The market on strictly choice feeders Is not much lower, but the general run of stockers and feeders are 15(t25c lower for the week and are very slow sale at the decline, as country buyers all want cattle showing quality.

Trading was not particularly active, but still the early arrivals were noon disposed of, but ten cars were lale in arriving, so that the close was delayed un til a late hour. The bulk of the medium weight hogs sold from Jti.45 to $6.55 and choice heavy hogs sold from $6.55 to $ti.6i. The light weights sold largely from $0.45 down. For the week receipts show a slight In crease over last week, but there is a dc creumi as compared with the same week of last year. Prices have fluctuated up and down considerably, but there is a net gain of oiil'to. The market is now Just about where -it was January t. Representa tive sales: No. At. tin. Pr No. AT. Bo.

For the year to date there Is an Increase over last year amounting to over ix.ii nead. Tim market at this point has b4en In very satisfactory condition all the week. The ipiality showed considerable improve ment over last week, so that the market on paper looks higher, but considering the quality the market ia on Just about the same basis It was a week ago so far as the is-tler grades are concerned. The feel ing on tiie half-fat stuff, however, la weak and prices are perhaps a little lower. That Is owing t.. the fact that the half-fat muff Is not killing out at nil satisfactorily and If packers run get enough of the bet ter grader to fill their orders they never lose an opportunity to pound the common stuff. For that reason commission men have been advising their ristumrrs to hold back their unfinished grades. The feeder situation has not shown much change all the wek Supplies have been very ligiil and as there Is quite a demand for good feeders prices have held fully steady.
