Finance and Trade, San Francisco: "One of the lending features in tho pres ent financial situation In this state Is the series of adjustments now under way among the banks, In consequence of the recent law permitting the deposit of pub lic funds only aKalnst the pledge of Cali fornia state, county, school district or municipal bonds. As a matter of fact, this law appears to be more advantageous to the public thnn to the bankers, Inas much as It provides, on the one hand, for Interest on public deposits, a fair pro portion of which has always been held by the banks without compensation, and makes, on the other hand, a very good market for municipal bonds. The demand for municipal bonds, In consequence of this new law, has recently created what Is generally admitted to be a somewhat artificial mnrket for this particular class of securities. This Indirectly, by concen trating the bond buying power of the banks, has tended to still further weaken railroad and public service corporations."

' DON T.GET A GROUCH GET SOME MONEY ijflfafflh Ba^^a^l bbbbbbb^ ulakßtaaafe y^B BBS|\ w^^ 1 //^Br It is not considered modest for a man to gloat over his success, but I am just egotistical enough to call the public's attention to my statement in my market letter that Red Top Extension was a good thing to leave alone and that Mohawk Junior would be one of the strongest stocks on the board. Red Top Extension has fallen from 56 to 47, a decline of 9 points, while Mohawk Junior has advanced from 7 bid to 8 asked to 8 bid and 9 asked, where it has held strong throughout the steady decline since the reopening of the mines in Goldfield was reported. We also want to call your attention to ISLAM. Some of our clients bought this stock last week at 25 cents per share, and while other stocks have declined it has advanced to 30 cents, a gain of 5 points. REMEMBER THAT McDONALD TOLD YOU TO BUY ISLAM because it .would sell at $2.00 per share on the San Francisco mining exchange before July 1, and on July 1 please call- at our office and tell us how sorry you arc that you did not take our TIP. The reason MOHAWK JUNIOR has advanced is because it adjoins ISLAM and because ISLAM has found the 'real stuff and MOHAWK JUNIOR is fast get- ting into ore at the 200-foot level. And just a word about DAISY EXTENSION ANNEX. We have sold our entire first allotment at 3 cents and only a few shares left at 4 cents, and in a day or so this stock will ad- vance to 5 cents per share. .. If you buy this stock Monday or Tuesday you will save $10 on every $40 invested, and 25 per cent is a pretty good rate for money, especially when you make it in six days. .

DICK CROKER TO RACE IN ENGLAND MAY HAVE DERBY WINNER IF MAHcR RIDES Orby Is Considered One of the Best Colts Brought Out in Some Time — Vanderbl It's Horses in Form Special to The Herald. LONDON, April 27.— Having demon strated his ability to lead the Irish turf as a winning -ncr, Richard Croker, the one-timo Tammany chieftain, has concluded to try I.is racing luck in England again. He believes firmly that in his colt Orby he has a Derby winner, especially if, as he hopes, he is able to gut Danny Mahur to ride for him. He had the great little Jockey at his place In Iru land to try out Orby, and Danny 1b en thusiastic over the prospects of the colt. If Lord Derby can be Induced to per mit it, and as he is said to have no likely Derby candidate, he may do so, Maher Is likely to rldo the Croker colt. In the Judgment of experts a combina tion of Maher and Orby will be about as dangerous as anything in Has year's Derby. It Is the purposu of Mr. Croker to send over several of Ins beal yoUßfateni to England for the mason's racing. He also will huvu a good ftitag either lata this season or t^ext year on t.te Ameri can ii'iii'kM. W . K. Vanderbllt'ti Malntenon, tho premier horse of the French turf last season, has wintered well and bids fair to be as much In the lead as a 4-year old as he was as a 3-yoar-oU. In bli first race at Longchamps he spread-eagled his n<tl(l in hollow style, an. i ran second In the Biennial stakes later, giving the winning horse, a heavy handicap. Maintenon Is entered for several big races of the year, including the Qold Cup at Ascot and the Grand I 'rlx at Baden-Baden. ' Mr. Vundt-rbiU hus a good horse in 7 Given Free Fonr 9100 aharea Intrinsically worth I9SOO each, given with each »600 first mortgage bond of the Colorado Tula Marble company. Absolutely safe. Charles G Polk 425-I) MrrcUnn«« Trout Bldg. Fraudiul, which won the Prix Vantaux at Longchamps :.'rom a good field. Hla leading Jockey, Bellhouse, is riding in fine form, and if Mr. Vanderbilt does not again lead the world as a winning owner, as he did last sc;.son, he will be very close up to the front. »♦ "THE CONFEDERATE SPY" MAY BE GIVEN AGAIN "The Confederate Spy," presented under the auspices of company F, Seventh infantry, at the Auditorium last week, was a decided success In every way. It was given under the direction of W. W. Heathcote, M. A., his pupils taking tho leading parts. Being a, military play, the men and officers of company F, who participated in tho different scenes, added much to the production. Miss Mabel Wiles gave a very artistic rendering of Maud Brad ley, the southern girl. She read her lines well and did not, as is ao often the case, overact the part. Maurieo Flelchenfeld as George Waterman, the northern lover, was exceptionally good. He has a good stage presence and has a fino voice. Ray T>. Smith made v hit as the Dutchman. All the other parta were In capable hands and combined to make the play a pleasing entertain ment. There Is a possibility that it will be repeated. Exploaion Kills Three By Associated Press.
