PARK CITY MINES.

The Warm Weather Interferes with ope-
rations-Alliance-C Crescent Tunnel.
PARK CITY, April 1.-The warm weather
during the past week has had the effect of
putting the roads in a very poor condi-
ton, and ore hauling has been almost
abandoned. In consequence large num-
Der of men have been laid off at the DAILY,
and the Ontario will probably do likewise
the present week.
Work has been stopped on the Meears
group by order of the management, but it
Is supposed that operations will be re-
sumed in very short time, as the own
ers know that they have too valuable
property to have it remain long idle.
DEATH OF PRESIDENT WOOD.
Information was received here during
the past week that Mr.. John l.. Wood,
president of the Anchor Mining company,
had died at Augusta, Ga, on the 9th
ult. Mr.. Wood was capitalist of Cleve-
land, o., and during his life gave con-
siderable money to the charitable institu-
tions of that city. He was the heaviest
Individual stakeholder in the Anchor
company, and has been the president
since its incorporation. His death will
not interfere with the future develop
ment Of the property.
IhE NEW SAMPlEhs
1t is currently reported that Mr.. Mack
intosh has selected site for his new
sampler, but that the deed for the ground
has not yet been made out. The location
is a most excellent one, it being few
hundred feet below the Crescent concen-
traitor. The places for the new building
are almost completed, and it will I'M
doubtedly be one of the finest and most
complete sampling mills in the western
country.
THE SILVER KING SHAFT.
The work of charging the shaft at the
Silver King from a two compartment to a
three compartment, will be commenced
| this week, and during the continuation of
this work no ore will be shipped. Every
thing will be got in readiness to make the
Silver King one OF the heaviest ore pro-
ducers of the camp during the present
year.
The California tunnel is now in dis
lance of $50 feet, and they expect to cut
the ledge within the next 100 feet and that
pay ore will then be found.
The machinery at the DAILY West has
been almost all repaired, and they expect
to resume operations within few days.
THE ALLIANCE CRESCENT CONNECTION.
From a reliable source we have received
| Information that arrangements have been
made between the Alliance and Crescent
companies whereby the Alliance tunnell
will be driven to connect with the Cres-
! cent property. 1t only remains for the
papers to be signed by the proper officers,
when work will be at once commenced
The distance to be run will not be very
great, as the tunnel is already in por-
ton OF the Crescent ground. 1t will give
the Crescent depth of about ], 100 feet,
which will be sufficient for drainage pur-
poses and give them ample ground to de-
velop.
The Ontario mill shipped the past
week: Forty-six bars of bullion con-
tanning %, 7S7 fine ounces of silver.

CHRISTIANS MURDERED.
Armenians the Innocent Victims of Turk
ish Fanaticism.

London, August 3.-The question of
Turkish outrages upon American Chris
tians was again brought up in the
House of Commons yesterday. Several
members asked for information as to the
charges made that the Turkish officials
had tortured the persons who were some
time ago arrested for completely in the
seditious rioting at Cesarea and Marso-
van in their efforts to get the accused to
implicate themselves and others.
In response to the questions, Sir Ed
ward Grey said that what little inform
alton the foreign Office had on the sub
ject was very painful. Fifty-six persons
had been arrested, and of this number
II had been condemned to death, and
many of the others sentenced to long
terms of Imprisonment. Subsequently
the Sultan of Turkey commuted the
death sentences of all but five of the pri-
soners. These five men had been ex-
ecuted within the past two or three days.
From the evidence that had been given
at the trials, all of which had been care
fully investigated by the British repre-
sentative in Turkey, and report there
on forwarded to the foreign Office, it was
clear that two of the men executed, and
probably imore, were innocent of the
charges made against them. The Brit
ish representative in Constantinople had
used his influence to convince the Otto
man authorities that the trials were un-
fair, but his efforts to have the wrong
righted were in vain.

ON A BED ROCK BASIS.
Cutting Down Expenses in the White City
by Lake Michigan.

Worlds Fair Grounds, August 3.-The
pruning down of expenses continues to
be the active occupation of the World S
Fair management, Each day the num-
Der of employees is becoming smaller and
it is believed that by the last of the
week the White City will be working on
a bed rock basis financially. 1t has been
decided to reduce the secret service
force, the number of gatemen and ticket
sellers and the Columbian Guard, and to
materially lessen the number of passes.
1t is believed before the week is over the
committee on ceremonies will be abol-
ished and there is talk that the foreign
affairs department may also be done
away with, and the duties now per-
formed by that department be placed in
in the control of the director general. In
this way the management hopes to save
from half million to three-quarters of a
million dollars during the next three
months,

CRISP'S SCORE CARD.
1t Tells the Story Of the Race For
Committee Places.
THE SPEAKER SMOKES, TALKS
AND KEEPS TAB.

I Catchings of Mississippi Said To BE Slated
for the Banks and Banking Chairman
ship-The Democratic Platform Has
Made that Committee Suddenly Prom
inent-Gossip Places the Mississippian
on Both Sides of the Fence.
Washington, August 3.-Speaker Crisp
sat in his parlor at the Metropolitan to-
day putting clouds Of tobacco smoke,
telling stories, greeting Congressman
and occasionally holding whispered con-
ferences with some member who desired
to be remembered for special commit
tee place. 1t is said by veteran legisla-
tors that such a quiet assembling of
Congress has never before occurred with
in their recollection. The door to Mr..
Crisp's room is always open. 1t is not
headquarters" however, as the re-
election of Mr.. Crisp is so certain that
he has found no need of establishing a
speakership headquarters, nor of carry
ing on an active canvass.
Most of his time is given to good fell
lowship among his associates. He does
no work during the day. At night, how
ever, he goes to his private room and
takes out large sheet of paper which
looks like a magnifed score card for
race meeting. 1t covers the member
ship of the Fifty-third Congress, with
such re-arrangement of important com
mittees as Mr.. Crisp has been able thus
far to make. His evenings are given al
most entirely to this work. He said to-
day that he felt confident of having all
the committees arranged within 10 days
after the assembling of Congress. This
would be unusually early for committee
announcements, as it is customary to
give the Speaker of new Congress,
when it meets in regular session, the en-
tire month of December to juggle with
the committee assignments.
The only distinct development of today
was the movement to make Representa-
tive Catchings of Mississippi chairman
of the Committee on Banking. AS rule
this committee does not rank very high,
but during the coming session it will be
made especially important in view of
the many banking and financial ques-
tions to come before Congress. The
question of repeating the 10 per cent tax
on State bank issues, and the increase of
the circulation of national banks up to
the par value of their bonds deposited
with the Treasury, will come before the
Banking Committee.
tis urged that Mr.. Catchings is es-
pecially qualified for this craftsmanship.
He has generally been regarded as sill
yer man, but his friends say he is dis
tinctly gold man, in close touch with
Mr.. Cleveland. What is more important
is that Mr. Catchings is very close
friend of Mr.. Crisp, and was his first
lieutenant during the last Speakership
fight. 1t is believed, therefore, that Mr..
Crisp would be willing to give Mr..
Catchings this craftsmanship.

BALFoUR ON CURRENCY.
Over in London They Are Discussing the
Financial stringency.

London, August ga meeting was
held today at the Mansion House for the
purpose of considering the financial and
business situation. The gathering was
very largely attended. Among those
present were Hon. A. j. Balfour and
Rt. Hon. Henry Chaplin, formerly presi-
dent of the board of agriculture, Rt. Hon.
Sir John Lubbock of Roberts, Lubbock
& Co., bankers; Hon. Thomas F. Bayard,
American ambassador to Great Britain;
Dana Horton and most of the leading
bankers of London. Mr.. Balfour made
an address. The gold standard, he de-
clared, would never satisfy cor, commercial i !
wants. A double standard alone would
prevent dangerous oscillations in trade.
He recommended an international agree
ment fixing the ratio of value between
gold and silver. In the course OF his ad-
dress Mr. Balfour denied that the adj
vocates of bi-metallism aimed at imitation
OF the currency.

"Whereas, The widespread disaster
