MINING SUMMARY.
For ii. Week E.Al.s April 20, 1917.

Stocks generally along tue ComseocS
range have ranged higher collectively
during tho week than ever before, even
wildcat showing decided signs Of re-
newed life and activity. The prices Of
the leading mines have been very firm,
with a still higher tendency at the
close, although yesterday there was a
general decline In stocks perceptible-
merely temporary, however, as may
BE- Q by Jul quotations to-day. The
expected crlsis and crash has evil
IDENTIFY not arrived yet, perhaps even
the highest rates are not attained.
Money Is plenty, and everybody Is pos
se.sed Of all irresistible desire to invest
In our mining stocks Below we give
the mining situation
Crswn PsIat.
Daily yield 425 tons, from the HOO
and 12OO.foot levels, the assays Of
which average about 800 to the ton.
The bullion yield for the present
month will foot up to about $500, 900.
II more and better milling facilities
were available the yield could easily
be brought up to q million dollars.
There Is nothing particularly new to
report In the appearance, condition or
development Of tho mine. The ore
breasts arc all looking m~agnihcently
as usual, and there Is ore enough In
sight to last five years, at the present
rate of working. to say nothing OF what
10 not in sight-undeycloped In the un.
explored depths below the lowest
level. The last dividend, disbursed
on the 18th instant, $25 per share,
amounted to $500 per share, being the
largest monthly dividend ever paid BY
any one company on the Pacific coast.
The drife south at the 1300-foot level Is
mn In the west wall Of tho vein, and
cross-cuts east from It show the ore
body to be even richer than In the
level above.
Halo & Nsrcross.
Daily yield l25 tons, principally
from the upper levels. The ore body
developed during the last few days BY
prosecuting at the l4Oo-foot level, Is
both immense and immensely rich
richer than any n anticipated.

cross-cut Is made through 1t, showing
it to be 65 feet wide. Assays avernge

as high as Is, 900 to the ton. Another
cross.cut, started 100 feet further south,
has cut into the same rich body Of ore
within the last twelve hours. AT the
l5OO-foot level the DRIFT from the In
cline IL In % feet, and In about or 10
feet farther will be through the west
vein and into the orc vein. Drifting
both north aud south at this level will

last Tuesday, tho number Of shares OF
the stock were doubled = increased
from 5000 to $4,000, or 40 shares to the

The AlaAana Claims.

: New York, April 20.-A Washing
ton special says General Banks called
on Secretary Fish yesterday, accord
ing to instructions from the Committee
on Foreign Affairs and consulted re-
garding the proposed action Of the
House on Peters resolution, advising
the withdrawal Of the claim for indi-
rect damages. Fish said that he was
not In favor of modifying the case,
and knew no other member Of the Cab
met who was. He did not think 1t
possible to make any modification for
some time. The Secretary Is said to
have admitted that be did not expect =
favorable award for indirect damages.
At a Cabinet meeting, which followed,
Fish communicated the substance Of
the conference, which he unqualidedly
approved. A strong lobby, represent
ing owners Of the Alabama claims,
have been In Washington the last few
weeks, endeavoring to infiuencethe
Administration and Congress to with
draw tho Objectionable portion OF our
case.
Reverdy johnson has written = let
ter to Peters, declaring his approval
Of his resolution, and asking permls-
sion to address him q more elaborate
letter for publication.

NEW YoRx, April 2.-John Ora
ham, ss counsel for General Sickles,
has written a letter to the World de-
manding a ~retraction OF an apology
for certain offensive criticisms on the
libel suit.
The Times has the following semi
official statement from Washington In
regard to the Alabama claims: ut Is
now very generally understood here
that the Government insists on main
tanning its original position for the
sole purpose Of securing an arbitration
Of the principle involved. The mag
nitude Of the question, and the great
gain to be obtained by Its decision, has
seemingly been overlooked In the dis
cussion of the case. A decision dis
allowing tho claims would really DO
Of more advantage to this Government
than any award Of damages. For tile
purpose Of having this principle aroi-
trated and settled for all time to come,
so that 1t might be a precedent In all
future complications, there Is no doubt
but that this Government would con-
sent to waive any payment Of money
damages that might DO awarded In
case Of a possible decision adverse to
England"

various songs and ballads, sentimental,
comic and delineative-and they offer
a very good bill for this their closing
night as will be cen by distributed

Secretary Boutwell, has baasted OF
having reduced the public debt nearly
S3rH 100000. In his official report pre-
sented to Congress OF the opening Of the
present session he claimed that in the
last two fiscal years reduction of
$195, ,929,6S had been made; bat ac-
ccrding to his official reports. published
monthly, the amount of the reduction
was $206, 1850. The variation of
$10,000,O00 between these two state
ments has not been accounted for. A
correspondent OF the New York World
calls attention to these facts, and shows
from the monthly debt statements them
selves and from the annual reports of
Secretary Boutwell, that the reduction of
the public debt has been only $50, ,00O.-
600 since 1868, and according to his
own figures there is deficit OF $685.
100000.

IHE SALE OF ARMS TO ERANOH-HOW
THE COMMITTEE WAS PACKED.-The Sa-
vannah Rers' Washington correspond
ent, gives the following account of the
scheming by the GRANTEES in the Senate,
to cut off full and fair investigation of
the question of the sale of arms to
France. 1t is very apparent that this
question has given Grant and his hench-
men more trouble than any that has been
sprung during the present session OF
Congress. They fought for every inch
of ground during the discussion of the
resolution; and when the resolution was
passed, in spite of them, they resort to
the low trick of packed committee to
defeat its purposes. Here is what the
writer III the Ne,cs says:
Tho Administration Senators, with an
autlacity and lack Of decency heretofore
unparalleled, have, in the face of all
their boasts that they wanted the fullest
Investigation into the sales of arms to
France. packed the Investigating Com
mittee with the most unscrupulous and
brazen adherents of Grant. The list
was determined upon this morning, at a
consultation held before the meeting of
the Senate. It was known that Sum.
ner's feeble health would not admit of
his going on the committee, and there
fore the oorruptionists, to make show
of fairness, named him as the chairman.
Sumner declined. however, as was anti
cipated. The committee, as presented
to the Senate, is composed Of Hamlin,
Carpenter, Sherman, Sawyer, Logan,
Stevenson and Harlan. Logan and Ste
venson are the only mon on the commit.
tee who will make any effort to ferret
out the wrong, and they will be impotent
with the five against them, whose sole
effort will be to cover up the villainy.
Trumbull insisted that Schurz be put on
the committee in place of Sherman, who
asked to be relieved on account Of his
pressing duties as Chairman of the FL
nance Committee. Cameron, who was
engineering the resolution which named
the committee, refused to let Schurz 90
on, and Trumbnll then made direct
motion to that effect The Senate did
not vote on the resolution to-day, and it
will probably come up tomorrow. It is
reported that Conkiing is one OF Re-
mington's partners, and to conceal this
was one reason why Remington's books
were altered. One effort of tho packed
committee will of course be to prevent
this coming to light.

COURT IN LExINGToN.-Judg Melton
held court in Lexington last week, and
disposed Of the business with his usual
promptness and efficiency. The Dispatch
tells us that the Judge, in charging the
grand jury, alluded to the absence of
official corruption among the County
officials. to the absence of crime as E
general thing in the County, &c., and
congratulated Lexington upon being q
rare exception in these respects to the
condition of things prevailing in most
Counties of the State.
Lexington has white majority, who
are not 30 easily imposed upon by design
ing demagogues as are our colored citi-
zens of Richland and most of the other
Counties in ths State. They have elect
ed good and efficient men to direct their
County affairs; hence the high enco-
miums from Judge Melton. The colored
people Of Richlnnd, who have a control
ling majority, would do we'll to recollect
this testimony OF Judge Melton, who is
o Republican, and, what is more sur
prising, On efficient officer. If they will
exercise more discretion, and putting
aoide ignorant and unprincipled time
servers, whose only recommendation,
even to the negroes, is their profession
of Republicanism, and looking solely to
the welfare of the County, place proper
men in Office, we may hope to hear from
Judge Melton similar words of praise
John T. Sloan, Jr., acted as Solicitor
for the State at the court in Lexington.
The Dispatch speaks of him in the fol-
lowing high terms:
"Active and energetic in preparing
the indictments and the evidence, he is
peculiarly gifted as speaker. Mr..
Sloan made most favorable and plea
santimpression upon our people. Young,
talented, high-toned and industrious, we
predict for MIR. Sloan long career OF

Politics never msdis stranger bsssd1-iel-
lows than in the case Of fat old Count de
Chambord and the French Reds. This
embodiment of legitimacy. who even
repudiates the tri-oplor and plants him
self beneath the faded old Bourbon tlsur
de lys. has suddenly endeared himself to
the roaring Republicans, by announcing
his intention, when King. OF repudiating
payment Of the German indemnity and
driving the Prnssians from French terri
tory. The scheme is fully in accord
with his usual absurdity, but it has just
about en- ough patriotism to be the cause
of great trouble to the ruling powers.
An itinerant King like Chambord. utter
ly without warlike means and appliances,
stands about ns much chance of innugu-
rating successful conflict with PRUSSIA,
as the dead soldiers of Sedan have of

SENATOR WILsoN NOT OVER CONFIDENT
OF SUCCESS. Senator Wilson having
completed his engagements for stump
ing New Hampshire in the interests of
the Radicals, resumed his seat in the
Senate to-day. He states that both par
ties are working vigorously for success,
and although his preferences are with
the Radicals, be is not over confident OF
their success. The fact of four tickets
being in the field does not, in his esti-
nation. iniure either party very serious
ly. While he does not think the Tenn
perance ticket will draw very largely
from either Democrats or Radicals, he
admits that the Labor Reformers are
solidly in favor OF the Democracy.
