BIG MINING DEAL CLOSED.
Pittsburg Parties Lease Important
Tract on Mesaba Range.

DULUTH, Mimi, Aug. 4.-The most
important lease yet made on the Mesa
ba range has just been closed, and it is
more of menace to the older iron
ranges than any yet made. The
Mesaba Mountain Iron Company has
leased to Oliver Bros. & Phillips and
others, Of Pittsburg, the northeast quar-
ter of section s, So, II, where it has dis
covered a very fine mine of high-grade
blue black Bessemer ore, for a term of
twenty years, at the exceptionally high
royalty of IS cents a ton. This is be-
ieved to be the highest royalty
ever paid by iron miners. The
lessees agree to mine and ship an
nually minimum of 400, 900 tons Of ore.
This, too, is exceptional, and is ap-
preached by no minimum output in ex-
istence, unless it be the BiWabic, on the
same phenomenal range, where the
Hamilton Ore Company agrees to mine
100000 tons a year from 120 acres of
ground. The Mesaba Mountain Company
has been at work about six months de-
veloping and improving its property,
and has one Of the greatest prospective
mines on the new range. Its stock, in
consequence of rumors of a good lease,
has risen in the past week from
$3.50 snare to $50, which
was offered on the Stock Exchange
to-day. No details Of the lease have
yet been given out, however, and this
announcement will be news to many
stockholders and nearly the entire in
vesting public at Duluth. The company
is capitalized for So, 100000 par value
of shares 800, and it owns large
tracts of land in addition to
that on which its mine has
been found. The lease nets to
stockholders 40 cents ton, so that the
minimum output will give them 100000
year, or about rs per cent. on the
present selling price of the stock. The
land on which the mine is located be-
longs to the state, which will derive
royalty of 20 cents a ton on all ore
mined. 1t is no wonder that such mines
as the Champion and Hamilton
and Ludington, on the Michigan ore
ranges, are obliged to close down alto
gether when they have such competi-
tor as the Mesaba, where old and ex-
perienced operators are willing to agree
to pay royalty OF IS cents per ton OF
ore mined, and where they are able to
mine with a steam shovel as the only
machinery. Contracts have now been
made by Mesaba mines which means
minimum output, beginning next spring,
of l 10000 gross tons, and other large
deals are in prospect that will largely
increase this output.

RIOTING AT DHQUESNE.
Striking Mill Hands Attack the Non
Union Workmen.

Striking Mill Hands Attack the Nom
Union Workmen.
DUQUEsNE, Pa, Aug. 4.-This morning
a mob of 800 attacked a party of sixty
non-union men as they were en-
tering the steel works to make repairs.
The mob was armed with clubs and
stones, and in the fight the foreman of
the mill, named Slagle, and a workman
were seriously injured, and dozen 9TH
ers were more or less hurt. The Six
teenth Regiment is now on the road,
and no more trouble is apprehended.
Two companies will remain to guard the
works. 1t is stated that all but about
fifty of the old men will return to work.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, Aug. 4.-TrOuble is
expected at Duquesne to-day. Shortly
before noon, Gen. Wiley returned to
headquarters after consultation with
Treasurer Carey and other officials at the
Carnegie office, and at once issued orders
to Col. Willis j. Hulings, commander of
the Sixteenth Regiment, to move his en-
tire regiment at once to Duquesne to
quell the disturbance. The regiment
marched over the hill to Munhall
station, where a special train Of five
coaches was in waiting. When
asked the cause of the difficulty
at Duquesne an official of the
company said: eve had a large
number of applications for work from
our old men ct Duquesne, and many of
them were to return to their old places
in the mill this morning. AS they were
about to enter the works they we're
kept back by the strikers, and we had
to call the militia to our aid l do not
anticipate any trouble after the militia
get there"
Edward Burke, a locked-out work
man, accused of participating in the
demonstration at MunhalI, was captured
charge of unlawful assemblage and in
centing to riot. He was taken to Pitts
burg, where he will be bailed.
The reason for the ordering of the
militia to Duquesne to-day was because
several persons who tried to 60 to work
were held back by mob. No violence
was offered, but threats were made and
the superintendent feared bloodshed.
Il does not appear that unfavorable
remarks of the court had had any de-
pressing effect on the men
rs would cause any weakening. To-day
not a single application for positions was
sent in by any old employees. The lead
ers claim that there are others to take
the places of these men and maintain
an unbroken front. At the same time
the Anarchists have not frightened the
non-union men in the works at ell; at
least none came out. The town is en-
tirely quiet.

PALos, Aug. 3.-This is the 400th an
niversarv Of the day on which Column
bus set sail from Palos westward on his
voyage of discovery, and the festivities
arranged for the celebration to-day
were carried out with great eclat. The
view from the town, however, was OBJ
scured by thick mist which hung over
the river and rendered it impossible to
see more than dim outline Of the YES
sells lying at anchor.
The representation from foreign
countries was even larger than had
been expected. The day was opened
with salute at sunrise from the twenty
four warships lying IN the harbor. rep
resenting the navies of the United
States, England, France, Spain, Italy

AT 6 O'Clock, the hour on which Co.
lumbus began his voyage, the caravel
Santa Maria, constructed in imitation Of
the vessel of that name belonging to
the Columbus expedition, which had
been lying off shore all night, set her
sails for her passage through the lines
of warships anchored outside the bar,
but owing to the prevalence of dead
calm, q line was run from her to gun
boat, and she was towed down stream,
followed by the Spanish f1otilla in
single file. Minister of Marine Mon
tigo was on board the warship Lagasio.

monastery of Larabrada. on which build

come to take part N the celebration.
These vessels were formed in lines, be-
tween which the caravel passed amid
laundering salutes and deafening
cheers. The smoke from the guns
made it impossible to watch the man
euvers Of the caravel, which followed
for some distance the route taken by
Columbus 400Years ago.
At o'clock the little vessel returned
and re-entered the harbor. The town
of Huelvia was full of visitors. and all
the buildings are gayly decorated, and
the naval evolutions were greatly ad-
mired. They were Of an unusually bril-
liant order, and occupied tie enlire

great historical procession, illustrating
four events of the time of Column bus
The first was the conquest of Granada,
in which Boabdil, the last kingof Gran-
ada, was represented. Another tab.

A still more imposing celebration will
take place in Madrid on the 18th Of Sep

PROSPECT GOOD,
Roseate View of the Coming Wheat
Yield.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. 3.-How much
wheat will Minnesota and the DakOtas
raise this year? That is the question of
paramount interest just now. The
three states were credited last year
with producing at least l60, 900, 600 bush
els, which was almost double yield
over anything that has been pre-
viously experienced. That the
yield this year will approach any
such figures is secuted by nearly
everybody, yet q good many careful OBJ
servers will place their figures of yield
we'll up to last years. The range of es-
Inmates this year is from 100000, 900 to
$4,000, 900 bushels, and there are more
who will choose the top figure than the
lower one. Col. Rogers, of the Market
Record, who enjoys an enviable reputa-
ton as crop guesser, and who was the
first Minneapolis man last year to VEN
ture out on 100000 estimate, saws
the three states will raise this year 1885,
100000 bushels, and if the weather holds
till harvest as good as it is now, he will
add 10,000,00 Col. Rogers is strictly an
impartial observer, and he makes his
estimates after considerable study of

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 6.-The differ
ences between the Union Pacific and
and its telegraphers came to sudden
issue last night when Assistant General
Manager Dickinson refused to grant
The increase of wages demanded by the
grievance committee, and asked thatit be
referred to President Clark. Mr.. Clark
took the sane position as Mr.. Dickin-
son, explaining that the road wss not
earning enocsn to warrant any
increase in operating expenses.
LIST evening Grand Chief Ram
sew, of the Order of Railroad
Telegraphers, notified Mr.. Dickinson
that the operators had decided on an
ultimatum. They gave him notice that
If the demands of the telegraphers
were not granted by noon to-day Q gen.
ersl strike all over the system would be
ordered, to take effect at once. Mr..
Dickinson had no authority to give the
increased demands, and after con-
sultation with Mr.. Clark by wire the
matter was referred to the board OF
directors, whose headquarters are in
Boston. Mr.. Ramsey issued the follow
ing ultimatum:
To ALL CONCERNED: Mr.. Dickinson has
requested an extension of time and it has
been decided to grant him until P. NJ. to-
day to communicate with the president
and directors. If his answer is UnfaVOra-
bic final instructions will be wired you.
If this ultimatum is ignored, it is be-
ieved there will be a strike involving
not only the Order of Railway Tele-
graphers but also the entire order OF
railway employees, as it is claimed by
the operators that the latter organiza.
ton will support them, if necessary to
enforce their demands. Should the
telegraphers be ordered out the
road will experience great difficulty in
moving the great number of special
trains during the knights Tempiar Con-

New YORK, Aug. 3.-The American
bark Alice, which arrived yesterday
from Auckland, New Zealand, has had a
wonderful trip, and escaped being
crushed by icebergs by what seems a
miracle. The Alice LETT Auckland on
May s, bound for New York with car
go of gum and fax. The skipper
of the Alice is Capt. Joseph Swain, and
she carried crew of twelve men. On
July 9 the lookout saw ice on the star
board bow. The captain came on deck,
and the first object that met his eyes
was an immense iceberg, towering into
the sky. The ship was put in direc-
ton that would allow her to es-
cape the iceberg, but when she
had travelled for several days she
was found to be still in the center of a
large pack. There were easily 400
around her, and it was only owing to
the good seamanship of her captain
that at the end Of i've DAYS she escaped
destruction. Capt. Gossel, of the North
German Lloyd steamer Elbe, which ar
rived yesterday, reports that he sighted
an iceberg on July %. It was an i'm
mense one, fully 400 feet in height, and
presented a magnificent spectacle.
