Mullan About the Middle OF Decen-
Der. ....
The w. x |. according to the last re-
ports is now only seven miles from the
Mission with their tracklaying force
says the Mullan Tribune, and they are
coming this way at the rate of one mile
per day. If they can keep up this aver
age it will bring them into Mullan be-
fore the 10th of December. Contractor
Smith has superseded the tracklayer
who had charge OF the work at Farming
ton, and is rushing it in good shape.
In conversation with Northern Pa
Gitic employo u few days ago, we learned
that it Is not the intention of that road
TO tunnel the st. Regis divide unless the
w. IL |. compels them to do so. The
Northern Pacific intends TO make big
fight to keep the w, & |. out of the
Cnur d. Alene country, and If they
happen to get in, they will battle tooth
and toe-nail to keep them from going
ceed in keeping the w. IL |. I.inside the
narrow boundaries they have mapped
out for them, and when they see their
opposition working their way toward
Montana's hills, then the Northern Pa
ciiic will bore two tunnels and discon-
tinue traffic on the switchback.

Lean a. Janse the contract for clearing
the timber from the right-of-way from

courier from Lincoln county that n mob
surrounded the Lincoln county Jail Fri
day night, forced an entrance, took out
Green Mccoy and Milton Haley and

WHERE is FRANKS.
A Colfax Merchant Who Came to Spo.
kaue Fall. and Disappeared.

kane Falls and Disappeared.
Numerous kilograms have been re-
ceived here from Colfax, inquiring about
h. Franks, who came here 70 attend the
races. II is learned from special dis.
patches TO the REVIEW that he has not
returned home since nor has anything
been learned of his whereabouts. The
sheriff has possession of his store at Col.
fax. His assets are far in excess of his
liabilities and he has $1,000 TO his credit
in the bank. His friends apprc-
hend that he has met with
foul play, The officers here
have been diligently making
inquiries around the city, but they could
only learn that he had stopped at a
lodging-ho just above the Atlantic
house, on Post street. The landlady OF
the house informed the officer that she
saw him load his baggage on an express
wagon u week ago last Saturday and ride
away with it. Further than that the
police could learn nothing, buttolegrams
have been sent abroad.
A REVIEW reporter called at the lodg-
ing g-house, but only learned that Franks
had occupied room No. z, and that he
was last seen leaving on an express
wagon with his. baggage. One Of the
girls rooming in the house suggested
that he might have gone to Seattle, and
when asked why she thought thut, she
said that lady friend of Franks had
gone there about the time of the races.
II hardly seems possible that FranKs
could have been foully dealt with here
without something being known about
it, and again it seems strange that he
would leave his business at Coliax and
disappear Of his own accord. From
certain facts learned, however,
there is some reason to be-
lievc that he left quietly and did
not care 10 have IL known where he was
going, and that he will return when he
learns OF the anxiety manifested con-
corning him; but in the meantime the
officers are making diligent search for
some clue that win throw light upon the
n,v stary.

WASHINGTON. ID. g., Oct. 27.-A letter
was made public to-day from Secretary
Noble to Colonel j. e, Smith, until few
days ago chiefof the certificate division
Of the pension office, from which ii
would seem not improbable that those
employees of the pension Office who were
rerated will lose their places. The letter
says in part:
IL deem it to the best interest of the
service that men who were rerated IN the
bureau should not continue there,
to exercise influence in that direc.
ton either by their presence or
counsel, and that the new commissioner
should have better opportunity to cor
rect evils which considered of the
grossest character"
Secretary Noble was seen by reporter
tonight, but said very curtly that the
letter explains itself and he has nothing
more to say about IL.

LEAD AND SILVER ORES.
Opinion of the President Of the Globe
Smelling and Refining Company.

anu SoHPunys
Dennis Sheedy, of the Globe Smelling
e. Refining Company, when recently in
terviewed in New York by Tribune re.
porter said:
'Thc admission of any lead ore into
the United States, even when it contains
silyerswhose value is In excess of the lead
value, is not only contrary to law, but
injurious to the silver and lead mining
interests of Colorado, and the entire
West is unit in asking that the duty
fixed by law shall be collected for our
protection.
"Thc democrats and republicans alike
believe IL to be no more than Just. II is
not II question of party politics with us,
but matter of policy that is life or
death to the state.
"The bulk of the precious metals now
produced in this country-fully 75 per
CENTS produced incidental to lead min
ing. If lead mining becomes unprofit-
able by reason of ruinous outside compe-
tition, the production of precious metals
will fall OIL to the serious detriment of
the whole country. If u stringent collec-
ton of the duty should be ordered made,
there are 500 mines in one county In
Colorado that could at once be put In
operation, giving employment to thou
sands and adding enormously TO tho
wealth of the country in gold and silver,
besides supplying the full demand for
lead.
"The present ruling makes MS com
pete in labor, for which we pay ~ to 81
per day, with the half.brced poems OF
Mexico, who get 30 cents day, wear
nothing but q breech-cloth, sleep in The
open air and live on bananas In cold
climate men must be warmly clothed,
we'll fed and securely sheltered. You
can see direct application of the PRO
lection principle to this matter"
POINTED.
The admission of lead ore from Mox-
leo, in which there is sprinkling of sill
yer of more value than the lead, free of
duty, when the law imposes tariff of
one and a half cents per pound on lead
imports, would be like dousing an oys-
peppersauce.- N. Y. Tribune.
