Where This modify is Produced
Inexhausjble Supply.
The price OF commercial borax has
greatly decreased during the past three
years. It can be bought now for half
what it cost in 1882 Then the market
ri .sIits a pound 8
the present time it is five and a1.saslf
cents a pound. This falling off in
prices has continued notwithstanding
the imposition of tariff which virtually
prohibits the importa ton of borax and
boraeic acid. It has been due, there
fore, to the consumption not keeping
up with the supply. The production OF
borax on the Pacific coast, which is the
only part of this country where it is
found, has been steadily very large.
Last year four thousand five hundred
tons were extracted by the various
mining companies in this State and
Nevada. Its use has not grown more
limited. but it has not kept pace with
the production. 1t is employed in
welding. glazing, pottery and cleans
ing. The iron trade consumes the
largest quantity Of borax, and with the
increase OF that industry the business
of borax-mining viii be benefited.
New uses are being found for this min
eraL At first it was thought fit only
Ior lron-workers ana pIacksmiths. Its
defensive qualities were revealed after
ward. The manufacture of glazed
iron and earthenware was begun
after other virtues were discovered il
borax, and now it is employed in
packing meats in Chicago. Notwith
standing the supply from Italy, large
quantities OF borax are exported to Eu-
rope from the Pacific coast. Last
week seven hundred aud seyenty-tiYe
thousand pounds were shipped from
this port TO Liverpool Some OF the
London illustrated papers contained
flaming advertisements, in true Ameri-
can style, lauding the virtues of soaps |
made from California borax. Boracic

The Northwestern Miller of this week has
the following to say of the milling situation:
1.-THE much discussed question as to whether
the mills would shut down has finally been an
swered in the affirmative, and in a most en-
phatic manner. The advance in Eastern
freights went into effect Monday, and was tho
last straw that the mills could stand. Several
mills did not start up at all Monday. and by
Wednesday half the milling capacity OF the
city was idle, while the remainder was prepar-
ing to close down before Thursday morning.
Thus Thanksgiving passed without q single
mill in operation To-day and tomorrow Girl
day and Saturday, there will be in operation
four mills with q combined capacity OF 2, 1!s:ss5
barrels but 1000 barrels or more of this will
probably be cut next week. This Will come
the nearest to complete idleness for the mills
that has ever occurred since Minneapolis as
sumed any importance rs milling center
This state of affairs has not been brought
about by concerted action, as some designing
parties would make it appear, but by force OF
circumstances Mondays advance in freights
leaving the miller no alternative than to stop
grinding The duration of the embargo on OPP
erations here is matter upon which few mill
ers are willing to hazard q definite opinion.
they feel that it depends altogether upon how
soon the situation changes SO "a to permit mill
ing without loss.

false reports published in the notifica-

asking an extension from its English
creditors on Liabilities of $4,000, this

costs. Bradstreet will appeal and fight
the case to the very end OF litigation, as
the judgment against the agency makes

The American tariff on these goods is
fifty per cent, and the English proscrip-

LAWLESS PROCEEDINGS.
A Fierce Battle Above the Forks of the
Kennebec River.

AUGUSTA, Me-, July 13.-Particulars have
just reached here of a fierce battle, in which
about seventy-five men were engaged and
which took place on the afternoon and even
ing of the 4th, some miles above the forks
of the Kennebec River. A cavalcade of teams
belonging to large party of Frenchmen
was moving northward along the river road.
The wagons were loaded with produce,
liquor tobacco, etc, and the men, fifty or
sixty in number, were on an expedition.
which had both trade and temporary en-
plOyment in harvesting the hay crop as its
objects. At about O'Clock in the afternoon
the train was suddenly attacked by gang of
thirteen river drivers, who were celebrating
the holiday. The assailants made sudden
rush, with clubs for weapons, drove
off the Frenchmen. upset the wagons
and seized such of the contents
as they considered of value. The French
men were not well armed, but they soon
rallied and made savage charge. One of
them had a revolver, and he handled it so
well that three OF its five shots took effect,
MORALLY w0unding one man and Gripping
another The river men then produced one
or two pieces of firearms. A shotgun in
their hands did some execution, but the
wounds il inflicted were slight. The next
man to fall was Robert Bean, a lumherman,
whose head was split open by an AK welded
by an infuriated Frenchman. He will prob
ably die. Another river driver, pursued at
the point of pistol, leaped down a bank
twenty feet high toward the river, receiving
fatal injuries. The fight continued with
various advantages and occasional lulls until
10 o'clock at night. The overturned wagons
were used as barricades, and the fort was sew
| eral times captured and recaptured. The
river men fought most desperately, but the
| Frenchmen were not so courageous. As the
| force of the enemy was reduced, however,
| their courage was increased. Before the last
| attack was made ten of the lumbermen were
| stretched on the fields with wounds either
| fatal or completely disabled. The remain
| ing three fought as desperate as at the out
| set, and the struggle did not end until only
/ one remained on his feet. He and his
/ wounded comrades were made prisoners, and
now are in custody at the Forks. Besides
| those whose injuries are described above
/ another still lies insensible and in critical
| condition from the effects of blow on the
| head with a club.

An Indian Fight.

TOMBSTONE, Ari., July 10.-From Samuel
Brannon, Jr., who arrived yesterday morn
ing from Sonora, are learned the following
facts: On the afternoon of July the scouts
under command of Captain Chaffee came
upon band of Apaches near Guasahus, on
the Squirt River, in Sonora, and a spirited
fight ensued, in which forty Indians were
killed and three bucks and eleven squaws
captured, the loss to Chaffee being one soldier
and one or two scouts wounded. The pris-
oners have been sent to San Carlos in charge
of sixteen Indian scouts, and should arrive
there to-day if nothing happens.
The remaining Indians entered the Sonora
mountains, where Captain Chaffee will pur-
sue them.

MINNEToNKA LAKE DISASTER
Ten Persons Drowned i'm the Capsizing of
the Steam Yacht Minnie Cook.

MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, July 13.-The first
evidence of disaster from the storm yesterday
at Lake Minnetonka was found in pieces of
trimming from the yacht Minnie Cook, which
fioated in on the waves at the east shore of
Waywatta Bay Large, sturdy boats went in
search of the Inflated little craft, but no
further trace o: her could be had. 1t was at
last determined that she had sunk and that
the ten passengers-ex-Mayor Rand and
party-who embarked on their perilous Jour
ney in such happy spirits had persisted.
Later boatman named Carroll, who had
tremendously succeeded in weathering the
tornado in yawl. appeared on the Way
watta Bay beach, dragging his miniature
craft after him. When ne had recovered suf-
ficiently from his fright and exhaustion to
speak coherently lac told of having
passed the Minnie Cook just before the
squall struck the bay. He thought the par
~ had observed the danger, and was quite
certain that Engineer Mcdonald had turned
the yacht from her course into the bay. The
next moment his boat was raised heaven
ward. as if raised out of the water by some
Superhuman agency, and then he was en-
veloped in spray. Soon afterward he heard
a shrek like that of a woman III acute dis
trcss. and looking OFF through the almost
blind mist to the spot where the yacht was a
moment before floating, nothing was to be
seen but the white caps and the waves roll
ing mountain high. He is sure the shrek
he heard was that of Mrs. Rand, and that the
Minnie Cook at that instant capsized. For
tunately he fell i'm the bottom of his yawl
and there chung until the squall had passed.
The following is a list of the passengers on
the yacht: Emma Rand, aged
So; Mrs. Rand, aged 80; Mary
Rand, aged sixteen, daughter of the above
Harvey Rand, aged thirteen. son; Frank
Rand, aged eighteen, a nephew; j. II. Coy
kendall, aged thirty-five; Mrs. Coykendall,
aged twenty-seven; Katie Coykendall, aged
four daughter of the above; Engineer Geo.
McDonald Robert Hussey, aged ten, en-
ployed the yacht. The bodies of
Mrs. Rand and Engineer Mcdonald
were recovered. and brought to Mime
apolis by special train. Altogether
the storm of brief duration. 1t is i'm
possible yet to tell whether the actual extent
of loss OF life and property has been fully
ascertained.
WAYzATTA, Mimi, July 13.-Diyers are at
work from the steamer city of St. Louis to
recover the bodies lost in last nights storm,
and another party is here waiting transporta-
ton to the scene of the wreck.
The bodies of Mary Rand, Frank Rand and
Katie Coykendall were recovered in about
leo feet of water.

An Innocent Man Released From Prison.

SPRINGFIELD, H., July 11.-Goyernor Oglesby to-
day granted a pardon to Henry G. Crews. CON
fined in the Penitentiary at Chester ON fourteen
years sentence from Jackson County, where in
1879 he was, together with his brother Jonathan,
convicted of the murder OF one John Armstrong
in the summer of 1879. The pardon was granted
on the personal application OF Judge Harker, who
presided on the trial of the case and who now be
iieves the man TO be innocent. The Judge relates
that two men, Jonathan and Henry G. Crews,
were tried for the murder of Armstrong, who
had his head crushed in with an AK: The
jury found them guilty and sentenced them
to thirty-three years imprisonment at
hard labor in the penitentiary. pc
ttion for new trial was granted, and second
trial resulted in conviction and sentence OF four
years. The Judge still not satisfied OF the
guilt of both the brothers, and would have given
them another trial but that he was afraid they
would receive a severer penalty. In April, 1881,
Jonathan Crews died. but, il has come to light re-
Gently, made a confession before his death, in
which he acknowledged committing the crime
but stated that his brother Henry was not guilty,
and was not with him during the night on which
the crime was committed. The application for his
pardon has been file for long time, but these
facts were brought TO the attention OF the cover
nor for the first time to-day, and he immediately
ordered his release.
