Will be made at Roslyn or Elum. The loca-
ton of the new shaft is still matter of speeu-
lation to outsiders but in face of the prospec-
tive ore mining and manufacturing develop
ments at Clc-Elum it is more than probable that
it will be sunk south of this place and adjacent
TO Gle Elum. That the projectors OF this new
mine foresee a market for their output is evi-
dent, as the establishment of plant represented
by their preliminary arrangements will call for
production equal to the output OF the Roslyn
mines when worked to their full capacity.

A French Warship at st. Georges Bay,
Newfoundland, Forbids II

WASHINGTON CITY, May 27.-Respecting the
action of the French government in stationfng
warship at 81. Georges bay, Newfoundland, to
prevent the United States fishermen from OBJ
tanning bait. IL Is said at the state department
that action cannot be taken nor can an opinion
as to the merits OF the case bs
given until further adyfces are received.
1t has not yet been made clear to the
department whether the warship has prevented
our fishermen from buying bail whether it
has prevented the French inhabitants from sell
ing il. These are two very distinct and different
propositions. In the first case IL might be taken
as an assertion of authority over American
citizens, while in the second case the French
authorities might be exerting undeniable
authority over French subjects.
HALIFAX, May IA telegram from st. Johns,
n r., says a French warship at 81. Georges bay
refuses to allow Americans to take or buy bait
there under the treaty OF 1878. Americans have
the same rights as the British on the French
shore, and they never before have been inter-
fered with by the French. The consul has tele-
graphed Blaine for instructions.
