The details of tha matter have Un known to all members of the executive committee and to many directors, but hitherto they have not become the common knowledge of the general membership of the club. The unpieaaantneee regarding J-cent fare haa been the means of spreading the knowledge, by aaake&Jng tn tbe club a lively imprest in tha doings of iU execu tive committee. It will be remembered that every man a ho went to Chicago from the CommerclaJ club in October of 1906, instead of attend ing the convention which was to endorse President Roosevelt's views of railway rate regulation, a bis constituency - ITtea him to do, helped organise rump convention, which had tbe opposite end in view. These men. as shown bjr the minutes of the Federal Kate Regulation association. In other words, the rump con ventlon. were: Euclid Martin, F. Colpet er. W. M Glass. Q. Lt Hammer and C IL I'lckena. Haw Tfcelr Their Was Made. How these delegates wr foisted on the club is Just now belnr made universally public. E. P. Bacon or Milwaukee, who waa re sponsible for the calling of the Interstate Commerce Law convention to uphold the president's policy, invited the Commercial ciuo to send delegates. Tbe executive committee had always been la the habit of refusing Mr. Bacon's Invitations and It did not make thla time the exception. It de cided not to send delegates. But soon came another invitation, which. however, waa not written, but spoken. The railroads, fearing that the Chicago meet ing would result in danger to them, as signed their literary bureau to the task of organising hostile delegations, the purpose being evidently to break up the meeting or in some way turn the tide of public sent! tnent against the president's policy. Nelson McLaod of St. Louis, who was made chairman of the rump convention, is president of the National Lumber Dealers association. He succeeded In interesting some Omaha members of this organization, of which Prank Colpetaer i a member, in the opposition idea. Tiiese men took up the matter with the transportation com mittee of the Commercial dub. About this time it la said a minion of the railroads came to Omaha with his pockets bulging with money, literally speaking. Ha offered to pay the expenses of aa big a delegation aa the Commercial club would send, provided It was hostile to the purposes of the Bacon convention. Passes Tinea la Vesrae. It is not on record that the delegates allowed him to pay their expenses, but at that time passes had not gone out of exist ence. - The transportation committee of the club appointed a delegation of five, consisting principally of Its own members. .After the delegation had gone to Chicago tha appointments were presented to the ex ecutive committee for ratification. They were ratified. It la not now believed the executive com mittee will resign on account of the re pudiation Saturday of Its action, though It Is said one or two members may do so. Chairman Will U Tetter said be did not anticipate tbe resignation of his Committee. "The result of the controversy Saturday will be that the club membership will be called on oftener for Its expression of opinion." said Mr. Tetter. " hope the af fair will prove to be lor the best interests of the club, by arousing some of the mem bers from their apathy on Important sub jects. It has always been very difficult to get an attendance of members at any meet ing, and the executive committee fro qu.T.tly has to take action If anything Is done at all."

The body of the man found late Satur day afternoon under a sidewalk opposite tbe Windsor stables on Davenrort, b-tseen Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets, has been identified as that of ' Dick Taylor, who forn-.erly resided at Ztl V Mreet.

The oveetlnn of the Jurisdiction of the Douglas wunty court la the Harnett divorce wilt will be decided by Judge Red k at l:5 Tuesday morning. Thla announcement triAde by the court at the noon reorss Mod C.iy amused rmewed Interest In the cape The point to be decided is vital to the case. If Judge Red irk decides be has no Jurisdiction Mrs. Bassett's suit here will step and the "Washington decree obtained by her husband will stand unchallenged. If the court decides It has Jurisdiction the taking of evidence for the defense will begin at once. This testimony. If taken. is expected to be of a sensational naturu. The arguments Monday morning were of a technical nature and were mainly a dis cussion cf authorities cited by the laeyers. Only one brush between the attorneys en livened the proceedings. In hta argument Mr. Van Dusen alleged that Mr. Baseett had charged the mother of hts children with being a bad women and had given her picture out for publication in eastern newspapers. "1 brand that statement as absolutely untrue," declared Attorney Onlllday. Jump ing to his feet. 'The pictures were ob tained, as we can show, from Washington photographers and I refused to give any to the newspapers." Here Rev. E. Lawrence Hunt shook his finger at Mr. Colllday and said sotto vooe, "There were pictures in the pspers that were locked up In a safety deposit vault." The court remarked that this question was not material to the one tinder con sideration and the Incident passed. ESTATE CF HERMAN KOUNTZE Pile la Coeaty .Co art (thews 11 1 tie Ileal Estate a a Hat Total. An inventory ot the property belonging to the Herman Kouniae eptate was filed Monday morning in county court, but as It I did not contain valuations, it gave little I Indication of what the final appraisement i of the estate would be. It shows, however, j that a very small amount of real esiate is ' Included. The inventory designated only seven pieces of real property. Three cf these are In Douglas county, one of which Is -a section In Forest Lawn cemetery and the other two In Highland Place and Mil lard Caldwell's addition. Three parcels are in Cook county, Illinois, one consisting of two lots and the other of four and one half, and the third of fractional parts of lots. The last consists of an undivided in terest In certain coal lands In the county of Carbon, Montana. Among the stocks and bonds listed were 87V tn the First National bank of Omaha, 670 In the Colorado National bank of Den ver, HH In tbe Union Block Tards Na tional bank, 6 in the National bar of El Campo. El In the United States Real Estate and Trust company and about tOOO shares In various land and cattle companies. Un der the head of notes and dues is included an Item. "Due from A. F. Kountse and others. tM5,WT." This is the largest Item on which a valuation la placed. The small amount of real estate listed Is said to be due to the fact Mr. Kountse dis posed of practically all of his holdings be fore his death.

"I'aisr. Ialwr, laisy!" yelled the tall, narrow man.

The San Francisco Mining Stock ex ;hange was in session. Crowding c'ose to the rail that hemmed In this excitement a multitude of people watched the antics of these seeming madmen A motley congregation. There were the frequenters of the exchange the staid fcus!s? man who Just dropped in and thnupht he'd take a little flier; clerks from the offices in the( vicinity who wanted to experience the 'sensation of "easy money;" the capitalist whose profits would only go to swell a surplus bank ac count, and tbe unfortunate speculator wnos? losses meant the want of necessities to his family. Kven the "mudhen," reminiscent of the good old bonanxa days, when he exchange was on California street, was in evidence to see if she couldn't get a "tip" on a "good thing," and apparently l.ttle realising the danger of being a "good thing" herself. They all. in that spirit of democracy that sprinting after the al mighty dollar engenders, leaned over the rail or stood near it, and viewed w'ltn varied feelings the performances of the mining stock brokers. ew Era of Activity. " For history la repeating itself in the San Francisco mining exchange. A new era of mining activities has begun that threaten to equal the dramatic Comstock days, when men whose names mean the history of San Francisco weie seen upon the floor of the exchange. Tbe halycon days of the mining stock speculator have returned and the broker rejoiceth thereat. And sa far he has had good caue, for his commissions are much larger than those made tn the oldComstock days. A wtll-kno-Fn broker for weeks hus been clearing a day In his San Francisco office and the seme comfortable amount in his out side office. In brief. It's nothing Just now lor a good broker with good credit at his back to make j00 a day commissions. And. of course, these commissions mean that some of the brokers' clients are get ting rich. And a seat In the exchange? Well, if you had offered CW a ytjar i8o it probably would hsve been accepted; last- March C.000 might have been considered ; today IKOi and up 1 offered, and no aellera. The gold-bearing ledges of southern Ne vada are responsible for all this. They have shattered the book-learned theories of the mining expert and Illustrated the truth of the prospector's time-worn ap horism that "gold Is where you find It." The ledges of the sagebrush stste are , honeycombed with the proppector's pick. The desert has lost its errors for the miner, tbe result of whose find is far reaching. The golden streams flow down the hills and swell the channels of com merce, where men, like craft, are either borne In safety to a harbor or are wrecked; but all ride on 1t at their peril, for no pilot can be absolutely sure of his bear ings. Jew Aspect of Stack Dealt as. And dealing in mining stocks is today more of a gamble than ever. Thirty-nve ye&is ago it bore Svme semblance to a busi ness, for the speculations in Waaoe sucks were local, being confined to this co&st only.

Old brokers are as much at milinr wit the lishia and tki4nn of dramatic Ban Franclaco. Bon of a father whoae martyred death was the cause of tha second vigilante movement in what was then principally a mining town. It was but natural that he should become Inoculated with the stock fever. But then, what typi cal San Francisciiris quitt Immune from it. Can any other excitement furnish quite the same thrill? Tha popular chairman of the board expressed the feeling of many ethers when he said: "I'd rather buy and sej stocks than eat my dinner." And according to the stories that come dew-n to as from Goldfleld, miners and speculators there are not wasting ir.u"b time even upon dinner.

These Southern Nevada stocks are the favorites now because no asesaments can be levied upon them ,and because gold Is eonUiuj out of ths miti. The buyer can simply hold Ms stcrk and take the chance If It breaks of Its glng beck tn the fliu-es at which be bouEbt It. Mr. King, when asked how the present boom compare with the excitement of the Comstock days. said. The Old ICteltlnaT Days. "The Sen rranctsco Ftork board never amounted to much, that i. the opera tion in Comstock shares never assumed greit magnitude until the Crown Point and Belcher deals first began. In 1S to 175. The excitement was tremendous. Peo ple went mad. Stocks went up, up, up Until they reached K.M00 a shsre. It was at this time that William Sharon, repre senting the Bank of California, with Wil liam C. Ralston and T. O. Wills at part ners, began to lay the foundation of tvielr Immense fortunes. They organised a firm called the Union Mill and Mining company, and It wasn't long before they owned the great bulk of mills that crushed the ore that came from these mines, gradually gaining control of the mines themselves. Sharon, who was the great speculative financial genius of this pslnership. and his friends, controlled Belcher, while Al vlnia Hayward and his set " gained pos session cf Crvw.n Point. The entire cap italization of these stocks was originally only tlO.TXiO. "Then came the firm of Flood A O'Brien. James C. Flood. William O Brlen. John Mackay and James Fair were the partners, snd their first fortune waa made in Hale and NorrrosB. Then they were so for tunate as to get hold of what Is now called Consolidated Virginia, the grandest then, snd nnw, of all the mine or the Comstock. These two mines and a mine divided out of It, namrt California, reached tfeK a share. Tou think these days are exciting on the board T' asked Mr. King. Why, you can get your feet on the floor at the present time, and there's room to Jump up and down If you feel Inclined, and you. generally do, on the floor of the exchange." he smiled. "But In those days- why, I remember that In going to the board one day and receiving an order to buy E.000 shares of California stock the entrance to the old board room and the room Itself was so crowded that In the time it took me to get from the entrance on the street to the board room proper the stock rose from $47 to S5&. The board room then was two or three times as crowded as the board room of today, and the number of brokers was so great that In executing orders It has been known for a stock to sell f)'X) higher on one end of the exchange than at the other.

"At present the crowds attending board and giving orders in changes of prices are not so great as'tbey were thirty years ago. but the volume of shares today traded In and the long continued sessions of from thee to three and a half hours long are very promising, and with en Increasing number of stocks r iming upon the b rd every day it Is easy to see that the ex citement and business may fully equal snyth:ng thtt has been done in the past. When I lived In Virginia City. In I'M, it was considered suicidal for any of us to seek outside mines in the state of Ne vada, because of the deserts, the want of water for diink'ng purposes, and many other things. Today, however, it wo'jld seem thnt the entire portion of southern Nevadn. with Its sagebrush and Its deserts, is rich In mineral lodes, snd with the new districts continually presented to our stock board it looks as though there were no end to future discoveries. The principal mine in Goldfleld, Tonopah, Bullfrog and Manhattan, Improving as they do fn min ing et lower levels, makes one wonder If these can be a limit to these develop ments. The largest number of stocks on the list in the great Comstock deals thirty years ago was 2:6. Today there are 450, and of these 400 are in southern Nevada, outside of the Camstock lode. The number is in creasing every day. Two hours was all the time riven then to the sessions of the board; that is all the time that was supposed to be given, but I remember how. on many occasions, we tran.ct1 business until gaslight. Of all the eighty members of the board at that time, there are but two remaining who were members before me. The others are either dead or too old to attend to business. Of all the orijrinal forty members of the first San Francisco Stock .board. John Perry, Jr., is tbe last survivor. He is 96 years old. Fortaaes Made Over Xlarat. "A p:cttiresqne character In those early da;-s was a man by the name of Snndy Bowers. A poor miner who couldn't write his name, he happened to buy a few feet In Gold Hill that developed into an enor mous mine, out of which he took a for tune. He built a house-Vorth ISOmd ner Wnshoe Ltike, In Washoe county. Nevada, and .fitted it up like a palace. I remem ber going there one day and his showing me the house and its furnishlnxa He took me through room after room, our feet sinking deep in the heavy cRrpets. and hla miner's rourh boots left traces of mud and dirt at every step. It was he who ortglnuted the saying. 'Money to throw at the birds. And poor Sandy threw it until It wns all gone, dying as poor us he'd been before he bought Gold Hill, and his widow was left to eke out a living in San Fran cisco by telling fortunes. "Ent the miners and speculators of to day are on the road to me-king fabulous fortunes. Most of the millionaires of Gold field are under JO years of age. One of the partners in the groat Mohawk mine went to Goldfleld as a cowboy. Pawning them, and this wasn't all in money, either. One of them ais the happy owner of a sack of beans. Thev are all wealthy men today. There arc many similar stories to these of p or mtn who have lately made fortunes out of the mines cf southern Nevada." And these Instances may be said to be only the beginning a repetition of the old Comstock glories.
