A Very Interesting Operation.

Very Interesting Operation.
 The new converters of the Copper Queen Co.,, at Bisbee, for expulsion of the sulphur from the copper matte, mention of which has been made in these columns, have been in success ful operation now about two weeks, and visit to the works of the com pany to see them and the method of their operation is very interesting.
 Of the conyerters there are three, each of capacity of five tons, i. e. 1t will hold and treat at q single charge five tons of molten matte, Each con- verter is large cylinder of heavy cast iron about five feet in diameter and seven feet in length, mounted on a carriage, with cog gearing and hy- draulic attachment by which it is laid down with the feeding aperture on the side, or turned up when the machine is charged, to blow out the sulphur and flame. Preparatory to charging a converter it is lined with a mixture of coke and quartz ground together. This furnishes the fuel and flux for consumption of the sulphur. The car riage containing the converter is run to it's place for connec tion with the furnace In which the matte has been melted, and the connection is made with along iron Hume. All in readiness thefurnace is tapped and the converter is soon filled with the molten metal. The Hume is then swung aside by a system of chains and pulleys, with a turn of the hydraulic gearing the con verter tank is turned one-quarter over, bringing to the top the aper- ture through which the metal en- tered, hood which connects it with a lofty smoke stack is carried over 1t by travelling crane, blast is applied and the consumption of the sulphur ensues. At the end of about three hours the sulphur is all consumed, the hood removed, the converter turned over and the contents run into bars. From each charge of molten matte five tons-there are usually fifteen barsof fine copper weighing $50 pounds each, or l750 pounds. The copper is very fine, more than 9s per cent pure.
 By theGe appliances vast saving is made in transportation over what would be expended were the matte shipped without conversion, and it makes possible the use of great quantity of ore that could not be treated except for matte.

TO STEAL MINERAL LAND.
Exposure of a Republican Attempt to
Rob the Public Domain in
Wyoming.

Denver, April 16.-A special to the
News from Cheyenne exposes what it
terms an attempt to secure possession of
valuable mineral lands through the dis
honest methods of former administrations
In the act to provide for the admission of
Wyoming to statehood, approved July 10,
1891, the state was awarded 10000 acres Of
land for deaf, dumb and blind asylum in
Laramie, none of which was to be sold
for less than $40 an acre. The act pro-
vided that all mineral lands should be ex-
empted from the grant; also that the land
should be selected under the direction of
the secretary of the interior from sur
veyed, unreserved, unappropriated public
land. In carrying out these provisions
the governor, secretary of state and
superintendent of public instruction, en-
gagged person to select land who fixed
upon over $500 acres in the very center
of the Silver Grown mining district, of
Laramie county. The dispatch claims
the existence of indisputable proof that
the selections were made in the interest
of the cattlemen, and says it is rumored
that the person making the selection ac-
knowledged that he was influenced by the
cattlemen. Fifty atiidavits have been
made that there is mineral on the land
The dispatch predicts the defeat of the
Republican party of Wyoming as the re-
suit of the discovery.

GREAT NORTHERN STRIKE.

is reported IN the situation along the
Great Northern. Not a wheel is turning
from Minot to Seattle.
Chicago.-Chief Arthur, of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, passed
through Chicago to-day en- route to st.
Paul. II am going to investigate the
Great Northern strike," said Arthur. $50
far as the engineers are engaged in it it
is violation of the agreement and laws
of the Brotherhood"
St. Paul.--President Howard, of the
American Railway Union, says the strike
on the Great N Northern will not be extended
to this end of the line for few days yet.
The last train yesterday afternoon went
only as far as Crookston, and the road
from the Grand Forks west to the coast is
tied up completely. The triangular nature
of the contest is exciting much comment
among both railroad officials and strikers.
1t is considered fight for existence on
the mart of the railroad brotherhoods, for,
if compelled to join the American Rail
road Union of Engineers, firemen, con-
ductors and trainmen, they would have to
submit to the greater voting power of
lower paid employees. President Hill and
General Manager Case are in conference

COMPLETELY COLLAPSED.
such il the End Of the Brazilian Re
beiiiOn-Dc MellO at sea.

Montevideo, April 16.-As exclusively
cabled to the Associated Press Saturday
afternoon the rebellion of Admiral De-
Mello against President Peixoto has com
pletely collapsed, and the capture of the
rebel vessels by the fleet of President
Peixoto is looked on here as only ques-
tion of few hours. DeMello after sus-
tanning severe defeat and losing from
400 to 500 men put to sea with the Repu-
blica and transports, and attempted to
make landing in the department of
Rocha, Uruguay, intending to surrender
his whole force to the Uruguay author
tiles. At last disagreement took place
between the administration and Gen. Sal
gadi and the latter, accompanied by 400
armed, sick, woundedand almost starving
men landed on Uruguay territory and
rendered their submission to the author
tiles.
Admiral De Mello sent an offer to sur
render to the QrBguayan authorities if the
latter would guarantee not to surrender
him to the government of Brazil. The
Uruguay officials were unable to give the
pledge and consequently Admiral De
Mello remained on board the Republca.
That warship went to the province of
Rio Grande duSul and attempted to make
landing, but the rebels were driven
back to their boats by the forces of
President Peix oto and the whereabouts
of the Republica are now unknown. The
fleet, after taking possession of tho
Aquidaban, formerly the rebel flag ship
at Destiro, is said to have captured the
city and state of San Catherine. The
latter is also reported to have returned to
its allegiance to Brazil.
