FIERCE BATTLE WITH INDIANS.
Sad Results of Pouring Red-Eye In.
to Redskins.

Port Townsend, Wash, Aug. 30.-The
steamer City of Topeka, which arrived
from Juneau, gives details of the fierce
battle among the Chilcat Indians,
which resulted in six men being murd-
cred and large number wounded
The Indians were drunk, and being
armed with knives and small arms,
did great damage to themselves.
A few days previous to the fight
two Canadian sloops from British
Columbia arrived at Chilcat laden with
quantity of liquor. Large quanti-
ties were disposed of in exchange for
furs, etc. Then began scene of saw
age orgy
The Indians are savage and hostile
and when affected by liquor are wild
demons. Dances were started and the
Indians assembled to drink liquor and
dance. Towards the morning a dis
pute arose, whereupon the leader of
one faction was stabbed to death. The
Indians then divided into two parties
and battle commenced. The two
whisky smugglers, unobserved, slipped
away from the scene. No white peo-
pie knew the incidents of the battle.
Settlers living a few miles distant
heard firing and yelling and surmising
the origin of the trouble, dared not
venture into the neighborhood until
late in the afternoon next day. Then
they beheld sickening sight. Dead
and wounded Indians were lying all
around the village. Some were fright
fully mutilated and others suffering
agonies for want of treatment. a
small band Of survivors, elated with
success and thirsty for more blood,
had gone down the beach threatening
to return and embark a crew of saw
ages and annihilate the white settlers
in the vicinity. The whites became
alarmed and sent to Juneau for assist
ance.
Just before the Topeka sailed for the
sound. Deputy Collector of Customs
Slater and posse had arrived on the
steamer Wrestler and started for Chill
cat to arrest the smugglers, seize the
liquor and the sloops anI quiet the
Indians.

ALMo GROUP CHANGES HANDS.
Another Tintic Property to Be Sys.
tematicaIly Developed.

Another Tintic Property to Be Sys-
Dramatically Developed.
From Eureka. came the informa ton
yesterday that the Almo group of min
ing claims, lying just north and west
of the Bullion-Beck has changed hands
and is now owned by c. E. Luce, Of
Provo and Tintic. The necessary pay
ments to bind the deal have been made,
the clearances taking place on Wednes-
day through the Provo bank with
which Mr.. Luce does business.
The price named in connection with
the sale is 100000, although the actual
cash transaction may not have involved
more than $3.50
This group, which is said to be the
extension of the Bullion-Beck, was 10
Gated and owned until within the last
few days by Messrs. Thomas, Tucker
land Kellogg, of Eureka, and upon it a
200-foot Shaft has been put down with
out encountering the main ore body.
The property. was opera ted some years
ago by the Almo Mining company, I'M
der a lease and bond, but the failure of
the company to strike pay rock was
the reason given for the throwing UP of
the contract. Since that time the
mines have been idle, but such is not
to be the case much longer, for the new
owner proposes to make thorough de-
Nelopment of the properties and is said
to be confident of encountering the vein
as it energies from the lines of the Bull
lion-Beck. 1t is said that the vein of
the latter property ranges northwest
Ierly and southeasterly and Mr. Luce
made the purchase with the certainty
that the further sinking of the shaft of
the Almo will cut the pay streak. Min
ing men look upon the group as one of
the most valuable in the Tintic district

While the silver producers of this
territory are watching with the great
est interest the movements of the met
al on the New York and London map
kets. they are forgetting that the
great demand for the metal in the
Asiatic countries. and especially Chi
ma and Japan. has created another
market and that buyers at San Fran
cisco are taking in great quantities of
silver at advanced rates. New York
and London are not in it with the Pa
cific coast market. whose quotations
sire ranging all the way from one
eighth of a cent to one-half a cent
above those sent out from the east.
naEor some time past the Ontario and
Da1y companies have been sending
their silver to the. coast with the re-
suit that their earnings have been con-
siGerably increased. Superintendent
Chambers yesterday received a dis
patch announcing that the shipment
of bullion made from the Daily on Mon
day had been sold on Wednesday at
661a cents, an advance of one-half
cent over the quotations reported from
New York on the same day. The
amount realized by the company on,
the sale was $22.945. The Ontario also
went on record with a shipment of &c.
600 ounces of bullion, but the company
was not ready to sell and the silver
went into storage. Both of the COM
panies have made good records during
a August and the shipments have been
&tavier than usual
The latest quotation on silver receiv-
ed from New York and London shows
tina the metal has climbed another
ROUND of the ladder which leads to it's
old tim supremacy, and closed at 661s
cents in New York, or an advance of
one point over the latest quotation of
the dav previous. The producers are
now more confident than ever that the
advance will be permanent, although
the upward tendency may be checked
occasionally by natural reverses and
the efforts of the ring in the east.
Every cent that is piled up means a
great deal for this territory, as a large
number of properties. now idle, will
soon be enabled to resume operations
If the present favorable conditions con-
tinue.
Operators do not think that there will
any early change in the price of
d. on the theory that the metal
tched the basis fixed by the tariff
some time ago. The quotation yes
ferday was unchanged from that of the
day previous, being 1918.

COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE COMPLETE
Enterprise of the Presbyterian Ed
ucatOrs Bears Eruit.

For some time past negotiations have
been on looking to the immediate COM
pletion of the Salt Lake collegiate in
stitute, the foundations of which have
been going to decay for number of
years, and yesterday it was semi-offi-
cially announced that the college would
be completed without further delay
The necessary money is said to be on
hand and the contracts for the con-
strucuon are to be let within the next
few days, unless there should be un-
toreseen delays. This school will be To-
Gated just north of the present college
building, on Second East between First
and Second South. and the intention is
TO utilize the old foundation upon which
1t was supposed stately structure
would have been reared long ere this
1t is to be a three-story building of
brick and stone and the design will be
entirely out of the commonplace. The
project is entirely Presbyterian and the
idea is TO build up an institute of the
highest instruction, in which the stu
dents may be surrounded with the good
influences of religious training.

THE COPPERs WE'RE LUCKY.
Fifteen of Them Have a Narrow Es-
cape From SuffocatiOn.

Chicago, Aug. 3O.-Fifteen policemen
connected with the Englewood station
had a narrow escape from suffocation
by Illuminating gas last night. They
were asleep on the second floor of the
station at Sixty-fourth street and
Leavenworth avenue, when the chande-
lier suspended from the centre of the
ceiling became detached from the sup
ply pipe and allowed the gas to flow
into the room. At 1870 O'Clock Officer
John Barber happened to enter the
room and noticed that the atmosphere
was filled with gas. He saw the danger
and called for assistance. With several
officers he raised the windows of the
room, opened the doors and then set
about rousing the sleeping officers.
This was done with some difficulty, as
most of them were ON the point of being
overcome by the gas. Had Officer Bar

AMBUSHED BY YAOUIS.
Mexican Troops Suffer Damage al
the Redskins Hands,

San Diego, Cal, Aug. 30.-Details of
another ambuscade of Yaqui Indians
on Mexican troops have been received.
On July % forty-five men of the
Fourteenth battalion left a place call
ed The Pilares for Cruz de Piedra, and
from there started on the Goth for Rio
Yaoui. near the outpost of Los Gusia-
mias. They were ambuscaded in a
thickly wooded part of the road by a
party of about one hundred Indians,
who had divided themselves on each
side of the road. At the first fire, de-
livered at pistol range, nine federals
dropped. Captain Gomez, in command,
rallied his men on the defensive a lit
tie outside of the ambuscade, when
the Indians attacked the troops furi-
ously. but were repulsed more than
once. The fighting lasted more than
an hour and half, the federals- re-
naming in. possession of the field.

A TARIFF POINT SETTLED.
Persons Who Tried to BE Cute Have
Bumped Against N Wall.

Washington, Aug 30.-Secretary Car
Isle has issued a circular to all collec-
tors of customs. calling attention to
paragraph COS of the new tariff act
which admits salt free of duty, but
it is imported shall pay the same rate
of duty as if imported separately. and
further. THAT if salt is imported from
any country, whether Independent or
INDEPENDENCE which imposes a duty
upon salt exported from the United
States then there shall be levied, paid
and collected upon such salt the rate
of duty existing prior to the passage
of the new act"
The secretary furnishes a list of
such countries which impose a duty on
salt, and, therefore, salt imported into
the United States from these countries
will pay the duty of &c. per 100 pounds.
The principal countries imposing du-
ties are: Canada, Austria, Argentine,
Brazil, France, Germany, Mexico. Rus
STA. Australian provinces and Spain.
Secretary Carlisle today in answer to
kilograms from collectors of customs
and other ports, sent the following
telegram to all collectors:
The department has decided to be
governed by the supreme court deci-
sion in the case of Hartranft VS. Oliver,
125 United States Reports, page 525,
which entities to the benefit of the
new act all imported goods held in
customs custody on August "a, 1894,
whether unclaimed on board vessel or
in process of transportation.
This ruling of the secretary reverses
that sent to the collector at Boston,
which held that goods must be actual
ly in bond in order to receive the bene-
fits of the reduced rates of the new
act.
The decision of the supreme court,
to which the secretary refers in his
telegram, was brought to his atten-
ton. after the receipt of a 1000 word
telegram from the collector at Chica-
go, in which he took issue with the
secretary's ruling. The court in it's de-
cision in the case of Hartranft VS.. Oil
yer. says:
1.-THE intent of the legislation is to
be followed even if not strictly with
in the letter of the statutes, and it
follows that the construction placed
upon the section by the secretary of
the treasury in his circular of May 10,
1888. to collectors of customs, is correct
so far as it recognizes as subject to
duties under it goods imported before
the act took effect, whether actually
within the walls of a bonded ware
house on that day or on the dock, or
on shipboard in port, or undergoing
transportation in bond, either after APP
prevail or under the immediate trans
portation act"

1t will be seen from the above that
the minis are coming silver again and
that they are coming both the principal
and the seigniorage. Mr.. Pence under
stands that the coinage is to continue
uninterrupted and the whole stock of
silver on hand will probably be coined
as rapidly as possible and placed in
circulation. Surprising the minis to
run 10 their fullest capacity, it will
take several years to coin all of the
silver in the vaults. 1t is a satisfac-
ton. however. to the silver men to
know that the government is at last
forced to return to silver coinage, even
if it is rather secretly.

ANOTHER RECORD BREAKER.
An Extra Heavy Production of the
Mercur AnticiDafed

The Mercur Gold Mining and Milling
company is just cleaning up for the
second half of the month and it is
understood that the production of the
yellow metal made by the company
since the middle of the month will be
a record breaker and even overtop the
$4,000 output of the first half of
August. One reason for this splendid
showing is that the company has been
treating a better grade of ore than
formerly, the grade of the rock having
become materially better, and another
is the smoothness with which the plant
has been operated. 1t is thought that
the value of the shipment about to be
made will not be less than $4,000.

TURNED THE NIMBLE NICKLE.
How Mrs. Astor's Country Home Was
Transformed Into "A Cheap Lodg-
ing House.


Newport, r. l., Aug. 9O.-Mrs. William
Aston, who lives at her beautiful country
place, Beachwood, in Bellevue avenue. for
several months every summer, was aston
ished a few days ago to learn that her
trusted gardener, John Hammond, had
been using the place in her absence all
last winter as boarding house. She dis
charged him en- the spot.
The trust reposed in Hammond made it
particularly easy for him to carry lis plan
into execution. He and his wife lived in
the lodge in the summer. but when Mrs.
Astor left for town in the autumn they
transferred themselves and their belong
ings to the house itself, where Mrs. Ham
Inond entered upon the duties of house
keeper. Hammond conceived the idea of
making Beachwood a temporary boarding
house He thought Mrs. Astor would not
like to have the boarders sleep in her
best rooms, so he chose all those in the
rear of the house and fitted them with
cots. After everything had been arranged
John looked about him for his boarders.
There were carpenters and plasterers and
other Workmen, who were employed in
interior alterations in some of the big
houses along Bellevue avenue. To these
he went and told in glowing colors the
life he could offer them at q country villa
and he said that 1t would not be very
