| Engineer Haven Resigns-The Rocky
Fork and Northern Pacific.
W. A. Haven. one of the most thorough
engineers in the country and who has been
chief engineer of the Northern Pacific and
Montana railway since March, 1856, except
during the period when he was incapaci-
tated for duty by injuries received in the
great Buffalo fire OF 1887, has severed his
connection with that company. He ten
dered his resignation first in February, but
lt was not accepted. On June 18th he for
warded 70 Robert Harris, president of the
company, his Imperative resignation. 20
take effect July 3lst The company suffers
serious loss by the resignation OF Mr.
Haven, who, by the way, will remain in
Montana
News reached this city yesterday TO the
effect that the Rocky Fork mines formally
began shipping coal over the new Rocky
Fork road lt is believed the coal is for
the Anaconda company as Mr.. Dalv visited
the mines few days ago, the result Of his
visit being the letting of a contract for 500
tons daily, which amount will be increased
when the new iron smelter Is completed
The Rocky Fork road will bencefOrth be
one OF the busiest and best paying roads
IN Montana and Will supply grade OF coal
the equal Of any produced in America
The mines are said TO contain ineXhaustible
quantities of the bituminOus article, and il
has been so thoroughly tested that there is
no longer doubt as 20 its valuable quail
tiles.
Boulder Age. Several miles of track on
the Gallaiin and Butte branch Of the North
ern Pacific have been already laid and Il is
probable that the road will be completed 70
the mouth of the Boulder river within a
couple OF weeks.
IL is expected that work on the Boulder
* ElkhOrn branch of the Northern Pacific
Will be commenced in few days and that
the road will be completed within three
months. The company has bought fifteen
acres OF land from Mr.. David HoODes at
the point where the road turns up ElEhOrn
creek, and this would indicate that the
branch Is TO be extended down the Boulder
20 a connection with the GailatIn * Butte
branch There are also other reasons for
believing that this branch will be COM
pleted Immediately after, IL not before, the
road 20 Elkhorn Is finished.

The case OF the seizure and

more serious matter than the seizure and
detention Of the Black Diamond, for IL in

A mOy OOlOng Tea Dirty ana AdulteFateu
and Not Fit For Use-
WASHINGTON, July Sl.-Secretary Tracy
has received a letter from the secretary of
state enclosing copies of n dispatch re-
ceived from the United States consul
Annoy, calling attention to the inferior
quality of much Of the Annoy oolong tea
exported 10 the United States. The secre-
tary has issued a circular letter 10 customs
officers in Washington in which he says
the statements of the consnl and the docu-
ments enclosed indicate that it is well
recognized fact among dealers in China
that Annoy OoloDg is generally dirty and
sdultersted, esrelessly picked, poorly cured
and its bad reputation Is so wide that all
markets and sea ports should close 10 them.
The consul strongly recommends that no
invoices in OolOng be admitted 10 the
United States without first being rlRidly
inspected. He further states these strlc-
lures do not apply to Tamsuy or Formosa
Oolong teas, mostly-fhipped via Annoy.
The attention of officers is called 10 this
matter in order that strict scrutiny may be
made at the port of importation of this
grade of tea, with the view of preventing
the admission of any which may be found
to be In violation of the act prohibiting the
importation of adulterated and spurious

WASHINGTON, July 3l.-The committee
recently appointed by Secretary Noble to
investigate the alleged illegal rulings by
the pension bureau has completed the first
week of its lRbors, the examination cover
ing six months. The work will probably
be completed the coming week, when the
report will be made to Secretary Noble. 1t
was learned from parties believed to have
a knowledge of the facts that during De
cember last, under Commissioner Blacks
administration, there were found about
1,500 reissues of pensions and during the
month of May. under Commissioner Tan
ner's administration, 500 reissues. These
REISSUES cover all classes and include all
cases OF re-rating, which average from to
) per cent of the whole reissue. 1t is
stated the re-rating will probably not
average more than So to 81 per month, but
the arrears IN many csses were carried
back TO the original application, some of
them as far as 1855. IL is con6dentially
asserted the commission has discovered
nothing whatever of q sensational char
acter.

encouraging. At London and all the other
markets there is a firm feeling and the ten
dency OF prices is upward. The situation
OF supplies the world over is a strong one,
