Increasing th fee of court reporter for furnishing transcript from I to 10 cent per 100 worda ROMANCE 0FTHE GOLD MINE Mlhty Magnet f Precious Metal Prove Irresistible Within It Sphere. Mor romance, mor wealth and more political power came out of the Comtock than any other mln on thl continent. When over $0,000,000 In silver, the making of a large number of noted millionaire, half a dozen senator and a couple of trunk lln railroad had been extracted from that wonderful lode It was flooded. For year It ha been Impossible to work at th great depth to which the shafts had bean sunk, owing to tha Inrush of water. And during all this time there hav been Innumerable but fruitless scheme to drain th mln so that th Immensely rich vein of metal might resume Its former business of producing millionaires. Now It Is as serted rather positively In dispatches from Virginia City that th tunnels are nearly flnlhd, that the labyrinth of excavations will be tapped, that the water Is drawn oft and that mining can soon be recommenced. Since th Comstock, like a mighty mag net, drew horde of fortune hunter to Nevada, tht tat had little to recom mend It until a couple of year ago. Then that grisxled projector, Jim Butler, struck his pick Into a marveloualy rich rock at Tonopah, and It waa the signal for a new atampede to tha desert state. The present generation only has a vivid remembrance of two former mining fevers. One wa whin th great trlke were made at Crlppl Creek and the other when the first Strang tales came down from the Klondike. Both the Colorado fields and tha Alaskan mine hav more than made good all th exuberant promises made for them. Some of th newer mine In Nevada now seem quite as likely to Justify th faith which capitalist and small Investors are putting In them. The state's population has nearly doubled In six years, millions of outsld money hav been sent there to develop mines, from some of which streams of gold and silver are now pouring forth. Th precious metal fever I a disease totally different from tha stock market malady. It attacks Its victims more stub bornly and it lasts until some great crash come to cur It, aa a panto In securities sobers those who dream of, mAklng fortunes on a little margin. Philadelphia Press.

The cattle ar getting better as th season advances but titer ha been a very notable scarcity all week, of atrictly good to cholc finished beeves. On the whole the market for fat catt'.e ha been a very satlafaptory one for sellers. Prices were a little IJ,wec on Monday and Tuesday, but lnce thei th trend of values has been steadily upward and the closing Quotations are anywhere from strong to 10c higher than a' week ago. The advance ha been mostly confined to the fat, light and handy weight beeves,, for which th de mand ha been bast from both packers and shipping buyers. While on the other hand the heavy cattle have been more or las draaay throughout and ra aellinr varv little if any better th.n they wera toward i uie cioso or last ween. The demand for oowe and heifers has been strong all week and In addition to the usual Inquiry from local packers there has been vlgoroua buying by both eastern ship pers and feeder buyers. Prices ar gener ally fully 10c higher for the week and In the case of the fat light and helfery grade values are fully lolSc higher, Veal calves have been In good request and Arm from start to finish, while the market ba suf fered a decline of 1582Eo on rough and heavy bulla Light weight and feeding bulla are selling fully as wall aa a week ago. Business In stockers and feeders waa fairly lively tha for part of th week but for the past two or th,re days th demand for the lighter grade has fallen off very materially and closing prlcea for stock of this kind are 16626c lower than Monday. Farmera are buay In their fields at present and as grass Is somewhat backward they are not anxious to take on tha light cattle until pastures ara In condition to receive them. HOGS Tha week closes with a moderate run of hogs and a rood, strong, active market all around. The week's np.ii. foot up about 46.500 head, or nearly 20.000 mora than laat week and 10,000 more than for tha correspondl.ig week a year ago ; The market has been fairly brisk through out, with comparatively little change In iJiive. nuiu uj id Buy. me weakness of the middle of the week being fully re gained and oloeing quotation being sub stantially the same ss a week ago. The general situation has developed no new featurea. Packers want the hogs, but feel that country supplies are liberal, and they are strongly avers to allowing prices to get materially higher until they are satisfied that the winter's run of hogs Is over. The top today was $6 50, aa ssalnst $6.45 yesterday, and the bulk of the trade was at $4. 42186. 47V4, a against $6.406 45 yesterday. Representative sales: Ne, At. Sr. Ft. Kb. at. Sb.
