Kenl Katata Mu, In Critical Condition. At noon today a Times reporter met J. E. Fritsch, the bright intelligent real estate man, looking for a doctor. "I have swallowed a null," he said, "and want to know what 1 ought to do." Tub Timks man was unable to say whether ... an emetic or fly blister was the proper thing. He, however, looked up Dr. Pinkerton. But looking for a doc-tor at the dinner hour with death look-ing you in the face is keeping very close to death and very shy of the doe-tor- Neither was Dr. Fowler in. After waiting some time for his re-turn, Dr. Fowler, on taking particular-pain- s to learn the exact shape of the nail, said with great wisdom: "Do nothing. - - By this time Mr. Fritseh, who had been dazed at finding that be did not drop down and die, oegan to gain his nerve, but it is deedless to say lie is ex. tremely solicitous as to the outcome of that nail.

St. Locis, Jan. 10. -- Special to Tub Times. The option of ninety days, given by the officers and leading stock-holders of the Granite Mountain mine to the American Investment Company of London, on the property, at a figure close toMO.OOO.OOOO, will expire Mon-day next. The English syndicate pro-posed to pay $55 per share for the first 55,000 shares of the capital stock, and following that figure to take tho re-maining stock necessary to give a con-trolling interest at prices based on a sliding scale, running from $55 to $81 a share. The price would average $75 per share. Advices are hourly expect-ed from England in regard to the closing of the deal. It is quite possible after all that the deal may fall through as the principal stockholders were tin-abl- e to carry out their agreement to in-duce the smaller stockholders to approve o'( the sale which could only be etlectcd by having signatures representing 1)0 per cent of the capital stock to the agreement. The gigantic deal if ef-fected will furnish a luting close to the strange story of the Granite Mountain mine, which, on the eve of being aban-doned by the little group of 81. Louis-au- s who had invested their all in it, eight years ago, suddonly developed that "strike" from the following of which over $!),000,000 in dividends nave been paid, and which has made a Gran-ite Mountain stockholder almost the equal of a Monte Cristo as the controller of untold wealth. At least five well-know- n Stt touisans have become mil-lionaires through the Granite Mountain strike and this sale to the American In-vestment company, if carried out, will quadruple their present lortunes.
