NEW YORK 8TOCK MARKET. FMturm of tho Day's Dealings In All The Leading Stocks. New York, April 27.—The action of the! •lock market today was confirmatory of; the’ large professional operations last! week based on the prospective success of the Pennsylvania bond subscriptions. The' subscription lists both hero and in Lon don were closed almost as soon as opened and the bankers will require several days to classify the mass of bids and give ac curate details of their amount. The suc cess cf the loan is emphatic and no pound for disappointment whs left with anyone who had been proceeding on the assumption of the success. The spocula ' |jVe tone in stocks, nevertheless. v;as tgort or less unsettled and irregular. The Closing of the subscription lists for the Pennsylvania bonds, in effect, throws that transaction into the category of events closed. Profit taking sales were in order on the part of those who had anticipated this event and were plainly in evidence. The efforts to- extend the rise in prices centered on Union Pacific. Inferences of the principal benefit to1 accrue from the Pennsylvania success were made to ap fily to Union Pacific’s forthcoming bond ssue. Various sales In small amounts of railroad mortgage bonds to hankers and additional offerings for public subscrip tion were in evidence. These served to counteract, to some extent, the fears thrt the choice security offered by the Pennsylvania mortgage would make the demand for it not a safe index cf a re vival of general investment demand. Con fidence was maintained that money mar ket conditions were to remain propitious for new security offerings. This confi dence apparently was not affected by some slight hardening of rates for time loans which has followed the new de mands upon the money market. The gold export movement also was renewed and heaw exports were Indicated for Wednesday in addition to today’s enlarge ments. There wgre some of the day’s influences which were adverse to the rise In prices. United States Steel was con spicuously heavy. It was hurt by reports of a break in the ranks of sellers of iron whohave b een striving to sustain prices by agreement. There is some anxiety as to how the figures of the March quar ter’s earnings, which are to be presented to the directors’ meeting tomorrow, will be received. The price of copper, also, was reduced both here and in London. Union Pacific, St. Paul. Atchison and Pennsylvania were carried to higher lev els for the year hut the movement in the general list was less effective. Ponds w'ere irregular. Total sales, par value, H,48C,000.

AWFUL TILES OfHaylien Executions Totd by French Officers, ExecuUoners Show Brutality to Their Victims. One Man Shot and Then Buried Alive by Soldiers. New York, April 27.—The French cruiser D’Estrees is in port from Hayti, where the ship was sent at the time of the recent attempted revolution to look after French interests. The offi cers of the ship have many stories to tell of the revolution. While at Port Au Prince, Hayti, the D’Estrees was the haven for 80 refugees and the officers told yesterday of the horrors of nocturnal execution on March 15 of a group of men accused of attempting to incite a revolution a few days after President Nord Alexis had quelled a rising against his ad ministration. There were not enough graves dug for all the persons who were shot and one prominent merchant had to sit and watch the soldiers dig his future burial place. As the firing squad was in a hurry his grave was dug only of sufficient size to allow him to be buried with his arms and knees together. The bullets failed to kill and he was Jumbled into a hole, which was yet too small. Then the grave diggers pushed him in with their shovels and while they were covering him he sought to protest by moving his hands. INTERLOCUTORY DECREE Granted Allowing Eastern Steamship Co. to Raise $115,300. Portland, Me., April 27.—An inter locutory decree giving the temporary receivers of the Eastern Steamship Co. permission to issue receivers’ cer tificates for $115,300 to defray certain expenses was granted after a brief hearing today by Judge Putnam of the circuit court. The principal item in the list and most important fact developed was the $60,000 included for the payment of in terest on bonds due May 1. This means that the company's affairs are in such shape that for the present at least it will not fall into the hands of the bondholders. The other charges were $22,950 to meet bills due for labor, coal and pro visions at St. John, N. B.; $21,650 for rental of Union wharf, Boston; and $10,440 for interest due the Portland Trust Co. on motagage on the steamer Bay State. When informed that it was the in tention of the receivers to have the Boston steamer touch at Boothbay. Judge Putnam cautioned them that there must -be no experimenting or speculating while the affairs of the company are in the hands of the court and stated that he will not give his consent for the steamers to touch at Boothbay until permission is obtained from the mortgagees.

FINANCIAL — FINANCIAL =*= BOSTON-IDAHO HHNMG H SAFE-SOUND-PROFITABLE I* " H | Boston-Idaho Mining Company's stock, as an investment, is safe and sound. As a dividend earner aflfl a speculation, it is bound to be exceptionally profitable. As a worthy proposition, it commands the consideration of every man who has money to invest in a safe-sound producing mining company modestly capitalized for the re sult of large returns on .every dollar invested in its. securities. The Boston-Idaho Mining Company owns and controls two well-known producing properties, consisting of twenty claims adjacent to each other, developed by JO tunnels in ore, equipped with a 30-ton daily Capacity Mill, which is now inadequate. Foreman's House, Miners' Houses, Mess and Bunk Houses furnished completely-. Store house well supplied. Stable, Blacksmith Shops, Ore Wagons, Horses, Ore Cars, Tracks, Miners’ Tools and Supplies. The present mill, as stated above, is inadequate. A new 100-ton daily capacity mill will pe installed by the end of the coming summer. This new mill will be of the most up-to-date type adapted to the'^tr«*iitmertt of 100 tons of zino-lfad-silver ore, or 100 tons of lead-silver ore per day. Tramways will be constructed far the tijansdj• i 1J portatlon of the ore from the workings direct to the mill, doing away with the ' present system of team hauling, and reducing to a minimum the cost of handling the ore. The Company will utilize Its water power for running the new 101-ton mill, doing away with the steam power system, and cutting off the cost of fuel expe’nse. Ah'^thlic tends to greater profits for the Company’s stockholders. Kxperts say that, lyd*11 t}ie completion of thes’e Improve ments, the Boston-Idaho Mining Company will have an earning capacity in excess of $300,000 per annum, GO per cent, on a capitalization of $300,000. The improvements will be installed and completed without incurring one dollar of indebtedness. It has been, and will continue to be, a set rule of the management not to permit any debts to accrue. All bills of the Company are promptly paid on the 10th of each month. *1 USD. ? * ft + ‘ rff The producing record of the properties owned and operated by The Boston-Idaho Mining Company Is no secret. The record of production is a well known and established truth, and is not surrounded by any atmosphere of doubt. 4 The record of The Boston-Idaho Mining Company has been well established. Its reputation and credit stand second to none. # The Boston-Idaho Mining Company operates its mines daily, and with the resumption of the smelters, the Company will resume its shipments of ores, when dividends at the rate of 20 per cent, per annum will be resumed and continued uninterruptedly. The acquiring of the Lucky Boy Group of Mines, consisting of eight claims adjacent to the Company’s other properties of twelve claims, is a valuable acquisition, and makes The Boston-Idaho the biggest and unquestionably the best mining proposition in that region of Idaho. The Lucky Boy is a well known producer, and has, by its large production, won the distinction of being the rich Zinc-Lead-Silver Mine of Idaho. This property was operated in the season of 1906 under a lease, and produced and shipped 2000 tons per month of high grade zinc ore, running 40 per cent, zinc, besides its lead-silver contents. From these shipments, the leasing Company paid a royalty' of 40 per cent, to the owner of the property. The net profits of the leasing Company should not have been less than $17,000.00 a month, or a total of $204,000 for twelve months. The low grade ore mined was placed upon the dump. There are at least 6000 tons of this ore ready for concentration, and test runs made by The Boston-Idaho Mining Company on the low grade ore, concentrating it three into one, give zinc values of 32 per cent. The Boston-Idaho, with its new mill, will be able to treat and take care of the low grade ore as well as ship its high grade, thereby increasing the profits greatly. THERE ARE FOUR REASONS HOW THE BOSTON-IDAHO MINING COMPANY HAS ATTAINED ITS SUCCESS. First—The Company secured well developed and proven mines that had a record of more than 1,000,000 pro duction. j Second—The modest capitalization eliminated every possibility of promotion stock, or graft, thereby the Company did not obligate itself to pay dividends on millions of watered stock. Third—Good management and honest administration, and allowing no debts to accrue. Fourth—Concentrated efforts and no diverted attention, and we may state right here that no divided atten tion will be indulged in until after Boston-Idaho has reached the pinnacle of successes. The capitalization of The Boston-Idaho Mining Company is about one-fifth of what the properties would stand were it a promoter's Company, and promoted in the manner usually adopted by promoters. The Boston Idaho is a stockholders’ Company, pure and simple. The interest of one Is the interest of all. The Boston-Idaho Mining Company can pay far greater dividends on its modest capitalization than others can pay on millions of watered stock. The Boston-Idaho Mining Company's stock must necessarily become a security of much greater value, with its modest capitalization, than others with millions of inflated capital stock. ' 1 The affairs of The Boston-Idaho Mining Company are conducted on thorough business principles, no leak ages or extravagances being indulged in. Thus it is that the assets of the Company greatly exceed its capital ization. With the completion of the improvements which the Company has determined to put upon its property, ap plication will be made to list the stock on the Stock Exchanges, and it is the opinion of those in a position to judge, that the stock will command a figure on the open market several times in excess of its present price, $1.00 a share. . / The Company unhesitatingly invites the closest investigation of its properties and management. We can confidently recommend the purchase of Boston-Idaho Mining Company's stock, feeling assured that purchases made at the present time will, in less than twelve months* show the investor extraordinary profits.
