His latest labors have carried him through
the earthquake district aroun 1 Bnvisps and
the headquarters of the Yaqtii river. He says
nobody can Imagine the unexplored and un'
developol mineral riches of th it section of
country.
Flipper has turned out to bo a flrst-c'awen
gineer and mining export, and has a more
promising future before him than if he had
remained In the army. His opinion on min
ing Investments are treated with greatest
consideration by cipltnlists nnd Investors.
Ho says that the discoveriot made by him
Inst year for the Honora Ijiad Company In
the neighborhood of (liiynnoc and Tavajn
have been fully verified, and that his em
ployers, the Sonora Land Compnny, will reap
millions of profit nut of them.

Confualnflt Crop Reports Btlmulatti
Active Specnlatlon.
R. O. Dun St Co. wekly review sayst
Crop reports hava became contradictory
and confusing. Dispatch-s by the score art
publisbel asserting that frosts have cut
down the yield of spring wht grea'.ly, esp
daily In Dakota and'Minnesota and at the same
time the Government fruit reports are great"
ly exageratrd. Such confusing accounts
from all quarters have bolped a very active
speculation with siles of 03, OO.ODi) bush
els here and and a bet dtcli e la
pries of only half a ent for tha week. Thos.
facta lead to the suspicion that gloomy reports
ore being used to unload specu ative bur
dens, and that the actual onto ime will not
fall much below previous estimates.
Corn is a fraction lower, with sales of
0,090,000 bushels, and oats 5 cents higher,
with some activity. In provisioas, also,
there hasbon active speculation, an ndvanos
and a reset ion. Hogs remain 1) outa higher.
Oil has risen 3 cents, and leatier and hid
sro a cent higher. Tin has weakened, but
copper is stronger, snl lout his txun hoisted
