Unseasonable weather interrupted retail dealings and thoro' was a smaller Chicago. demand upon the jobbers for staple poods, but the buying of holiday specialties maintains an exceptional aggregate. No diminution a pilars in the volume of production in iron and steel and other prominent industries, and a steady flow of new demands added further to the pressure ujm nunufaeturing capacity and maintained firm markets for raw materials. More congestion is noted in railroad transportation and various business interests suffer severe drawbacks from lack of ears. Advices from interior points continue cheerful as to the exdient outlook for winter trade, stocks of merchandise undergoing timely .redaction, and mercantile collections at western iints make a good showing. Distribution of commodities is swelled beyond all previous magnitude, much of tbc gain being due to unprecedented quantities of heavy materials for instruction and power. Earnings of the Chicago railroads increase largely in gross over those of a year ago, nul with the liberal additions now being made to equipment some relief soou may be. apparent where congestion is acutest, v, Failures reported in the Chicago district numbered 2C, ag"i'nst 27 last week and 21 a year ago.

Holiday demand is oiening up earlier than usual, industry in nearly all lines is still pushed to the limit of production, and little relief from the prevailing car congestion is yet apparent, despite the fact that the movement of certain crops to market is smaller than usual at this season. Despite the approach of the close of the season of outdoor activities, there Is still general complaint of the scarcity of labor, and railways, mills, and factories are conceding advances in wages to hold their help, without, however, entirely satisfying demands presented. A season of plenteous production, of immense Industrial activity, and of great financial operation: , U apparently closing, with a record holiday trade beginning earlier than usual. - Jobbers have been working to fill reorders for fall and winter goods, while wholesalers have been busy on spring account Taken as a whole, trade in first and second hands Is at present more active than usual at this season, while retail trade is heavy, demand covering a wide range, and the quality of purchases exceptionally high.

Thirty years ago, wben the Comstock lode was pouring forth Its millions and Virginia City was la the height of Its prosperity, Nevada' future . seemed full of promise. Now that promise, after long delay, Is about to be fullfllled. 'onopah, Goldfleld and Bullfrog are flourishing "cities, growing as raridly more rapidly. In fact than a boom town iu a real estate dealer's prospectus. Searchlight, away down toward the apex of the State, is beginning to feel the Impetus of the boomer. Manhattan, fconie distance toward tht center of the State from Tonopah, It one of the newest camps, and then have recently been uncovered vast de posits of copper in the eastern part ol the State. The end of the rainbow rests on the Nevada desert and thousands are rushing there to find the poi of gold. Extending from up in north -centra; California, southeast along the tx-rdei line between Nevada and CalifornJt down to the Colorado River and on IntL Arizona, is a well-defined mineral belt Here and there in this zone are out croppings of exceedingly valuable ore The Comstock lode was one of tbe and others approaching the Corns toe In richness, if not equaling It hare bees uncovered in the last year or two. Long ago rich mines were iereloped elsewhere In the West, but the desert guarded the wealth of southwestern Nevada. Yet four years ago a strike wai made at Tonopab, away off to tbc southeast of Virginia, city. StilL tin world beard little about It. although today Tonopah has a .tirLs mica thai men say Is worth 50,CCO,000. At tiret years of age Tonopah had been throuyl a boom, a collapse, a recovery and bad, 5,000 Inhabitants. New . is the new El Dorado. It formed a base of iup plies from which prospectors could work with safety farther Into the desert and two yeart after the Tonjpak discovery came the big strike at Gold field and the world began to sit uf. and take' notice. To-day Goldfleld is t city of 10,000 inhabitants. OARNUM'S WILL NOT BROKEN. Showman's Example a Hint to Persons It art as; Property to Letvc. "When Thlneas T. Barnum, tb great saowman, made his will," said-e member of the bar. "It was at a tlro when the courts had been called upor to hear a number of Important wfli contests based on the al legations oi tbc unsoundness of mind of the makers. Mr. Barnum decided to take nc chances. He knew where be wanted lls fortune to go and arranged to hart It go there, v "When the lawyers had put togetbei a document to his satisfaction Mr. Bar num made an appointment with a hall dozen , of the best doctors of Bridgeport, which was his home. He had them examine him mentally and physically, and when they decided that h was sound and sane In every regard bt asked them to reduce their verdict tc writing and swear to it They did sa He paid them for their services and filed the document away with his will "I am reminded of this Incident, the lawyer continued, "by reading ol late of so many cases where men wbc had passed away were claimed as bus bands by women of whom their friends had never heard. Men who were supposed to be bachelors or widowers. Women have come forward swearlnj to marriage at some time or other lr the past. Of course there fcrs tcft property left behind In every case. N woman could be expected to claim s dead man for the mere purpose of aiding In paying for his tombstone. "I would suggest to every bachelot or widower to follow the example ot Mr. Barnum and by some means establish the fact that in departing from tht shores of time he would not leave behind him some disconsolate wife tc step -forward and claim the" remains and the estate. There would, of course, be less litigation, but the lawyers art always willing to forego a benefit for the good of the public at large. Cleveland Plain Dealer. Gold la Craws of Dacka. J. II.
