A Famous Lost Mine round.

CHIHUAHUA, Mexico, May 11.-News
reached here today that the famous and
marvelously rich lost mine in the Chi
huahua mountains has been discovered
by Martin Lanier and Frank Fonda,
two Americans who have been searching
for the property for several months.
About twenty years ago Lanier and his
father and brother were travelling
through the Chihuahua mountains and
camped on the reservation of the Chi
huahua Apache Indians. A member
of the tribe showed the Laniers a num-
Der of gold nuggets and directed them to
the spot from which the wealth was OBJ
tanned and worked it for few weeks,
taking out several hundred dollars
worth of gold with pick and shovel.
The Indians one day made raid on
their camp and killed one of the broth
ers, and took the other brother and
father prisoners. The two survivors
were released upon promise to leave the
reservation Immediately. The father
of the boys drew diagram of the loca-
tion of the mine, which he kept in his
possession until few months ago, when
he died. His son Immediately fitted
out an expedition in Texas to search for
the lost mine, and found it without any
difficulty.

English Arguments.

PARIS, May 11.-Hon. James B. Eustis,
the American ambassador, was present
today at the session of the Behring sea
tribunal of arbitration. Sir Charles
Russell resumed his argument, which
was largely devoted to the technical fea-
lures of the controversy. Sir Charles
argued it was impossible that there
could be property rights in the seals in
Behring sea, and he supported his con-
tention with quotations from American
jurists, and in particular from Professor
Wolseley' g writings on international law.
Sir Charles dwelt on the far-reaching eff
fects upon international rights that
would ensue from conferring the power
claimed by American counsel in behalf
of the United States to seize foreign ves-
sells in time of peace. Sir Charles
claimed that Great Britain represented,
in this controversy, the rights of nations.

Bank Failures.

CHICAGO, May IL. The Columbia
Navigation bank of this city failed this
morning. 1t had capital of 81 600, 900,
and deposits of 81 ,40O, 900. Rumors that
it was in trouble have been current
nearly week. 1t did business with
small country banks mostly, and was
not in esteem among the other city
banks. 1t is said the cause of the fail
ure was poor collections on loans. This
collapse and that in indianapolis caused
q break of 21s cents in the price of
wheat here.

RAINY DAY ATCHICAGO.
II Kept Many People From the Worlds
Fair Yesterday.
QUARREL AMONG THE MUSICIANS
Exhibitors Are Rushing Things to Fin
ish Work and Decided Progress
Is Being Made.


CHICAGO, May 11.-Lowering skies
and downpouring rain this morning had
the effect of keeping many persons away
from the worlds fair grounds; but as
the day wore on the clouds thinned, and
the prospects seemed better for good
attendance. The committee investigat-
ing the charges of favoritism by the de-
partment of music, under the chairman
ship of p. Lammon, of Salt Lake City,
resumed its work this morning. 1t is
not known what the result will be.
Lammon said this morning that the
committee would make report to the
national commission this afternoon.
The question as to whether the council
of administration or the national COM
mission has jurisdiction is unsettled.
The former claims the commission has
no power in the premises, while many
members of the commission say that
body not only had jurisdiction, but will
exercise it. Under sharp orders from
the chiefs of the various departments,
exhibitors are furiously at work putting
their exhibits into shape, and decided
progress is being made.

is in charge. The failure was caused by
that of the Chemical National bank of
Chicago, which owed the Capital Ma
tional 100000. The Capital also car
ried large amount of the Premier steel
works paper. The latter went into
receivers hands Friday. The officials
of the bank have made statement in
which they say the capital stock is $780,
600. The bank has done a profitable
business. 1t was run on q conservative
basis, and there was nothing in the
banks condition to cause uneasiness till
Tuesday, when the failure of the Chem
ical National of Chicago occurred.

NEWPORT, KY, May .11.-The Ken
lucky court of appeals has handed down
decision of great moment to insurance
companies. The court decides that a
policy taken out by wife on the life of
her husband, without his knowledge,
cannot be collected in case of death, as
an insurance contract is a personal con-
tract. The court further holds that
where wife has used her husbands
money in paying for such policy he may
recover by civil process.

Old Landmark Destroyed by Explosion OF
Gigantic Blast.


One of the biggest blasts of dynamite
that has ever taken place in a quarry,
if not the biggest, occurred the other
day at the Palisade quarries about two
miles from Fort Lee. The palisades at
this point, which is just opposite Fort
Washington, were shorn of about one
thousand feet of surface and the dis
placement extended about three hum
dred feet on an average into the rock.
"Washington's Head has been land
mark for many years to boatmen and
tourists going up and down the river,
the grim profile looking startlingly dis
tinct just when it came into view
through its resemblance to that of the
Father of His Country. Washington's
head is no more. It tottered and went
down in the general havoc caused by
the blast, and lies broken in a hundred
pieces at the foot of the palisades. The
blast was hardly felt at Fort Lee, where
it simply made the earth quiver little,
like an infant earthquake. Two miles
or more of fissured rock makes a good
buffer, and the shock was pretty well
exhausted when it reached the village.
About four thousand pounds of dyna-
mite was used and the weight of the
rock displaced was estimated at one
hundred thousand tons at the lowest
calculation
