Greater excitement has not prevailed since Ralph Guthrie bid for all the Four Aces shares on the floor, and the break in the corner on Wisdom was tremendous. It was not thought that the uncollected shares could do any particular particu-lar damage, but such was the havoc that the shorts filled at any old price, and those iong who got out at 40 cents on the dollar did extremely well. & & Mr. Peery is now president of the exchange for Hip third 'time, and in that position has always pi oven to be a most popular, and impartial official. of-ficial. &w t tV The accident at the Quincy was most deplorably deplor-ably and particularly distressing coming so soon after the other accident from the shock of which, the Park nas scarcely recovered. It should serve as a warning to other mining companies in all camps to use all possible means to prevent such accidents. The snowfall this seadon is particularly particular-ly heavy, and many buildings near the different mines are directly in the paths of impending avalanches. ava-lanches. ifr t& Martin Bohne has discovered a new vein of coal near Mt.

The daily output ot the company averaged 300 tons, and the values for the week amounted to ?G5,000.
