MINES CONSOLIDATE.
Poorman and Tiger Placed Under
One Management.
THE DEEDS SIGNED AT BUTTE
Saving of Six Thousand Dollars a Month
VIII BE Effected in the
Workings.

Butte, Mont, Oct. 12.--The deeds were
made today conveying the Poorman
mine and the Tiger mine at Burke,
Idaho. to the Consolidated Tiger and
Poorman Mining Company. Five hum
dred thousand shares of stock In the
new company were given the Poorman
owners and an equal amount to 8. s.
Glidden, the Tiger owner. +. r. Gull
bertson is to be general manager Of
the consolidated company and 1t Is
thought that under single manage
ment of the consolidation more proper
ly, saving will be made of many
thousands of dollars per month. Pat
rick Clark, b. G. Kingsbury, F. R. Gull
bertson, all trustees of the consolidated
Tiger and Poorman company, are here
from Spokane. With them Is Attorney
w. n. Stoll attending the stockholders
meeting Of the old Poorman Company,
at which the transfers of title were
made. They leave for home tomorrow.
There are about 200 stockholders in
the Poorman mine. many of them liv-
ing in Montana. b. c. Kingsbury, who
is the largest single owner, is the pres
ident of the company, and Patrick
Clark has been manager of the mine.
The two mines long ago became fam
Gus as producers in a mineral country
that abounded in great properties Dur
ing the nine years they have been oper-
ated they have added in round num-
bers $10,000,000 to the wealth of the
world. large part of which has been
expended for supplies, labor, improve
ments and freight rates. They were
both discovered on the same day, in
September, 1884. lying upon opposite
sides of Canyon creek, the Tiger by
John Carton and Almedos Seymour,
and the Poorman by Scott Mcdonald.
Soon thereafter a contest was filed on
the Poorman by Edward Benjamin,
Alec GAIA and Vincent Lalande, for
whom the district was named. This
brought on long and expensive litiga-
ton between the rival claimants, which
was finally settled by Patsy Clark step
ping in and buying out both sets Of
claimants to the Poorman ground.
Both properties have extensive inn
provements, including concentrators
hoists, air compressors, electric plants,
boarding houses, buildings. etc., cost
ing in the neighborhood OF s35, 900. Both
have valuable water rights which will
now be consolidated and merged into
one system. 1t is expected that this
will reduce the fuel bill of both mines
to practically nothing for the greater
part Of the year, and that this alone
Will effect a saving of 100000 per annum.
one mine will now pump out the water
for both, one hosting plant will also
serve both mines, and there will be
but one management and 1t Is calcu-
lated that in all a saving will be ef-
fected of not less than $4,000 per month.

IDAHO GOLD MINE CHANGES HANDS

Eastern Men Buy the Cnmas No. Min
ing Suit Compromised.
Boise, oct ia special to the States
man from HALEY reports the sale of
Camas No gold mine to II. *. Thurber
and other New York capitalists The
consideration is in the neighborhood of
S25O.OO0. The mine has been paying a
profit of $4,000 a month with an old mill
1t is regarded as one of the leading gold
mines of the state. II was shut down
years ago on account of litigation, but
has recently been worked. HALEY people
are jubilant over the deal, as they see
prosperity for their town in the inaugura-
tion of extensive improvements that are
announced by the new management
What promised to be an interesting
mining suit was terminated here today
by compromise. j. ID. Gray, owner of Vi
ola, an extension of the Black Hornet,
applied for a patent, and was adversed
by parties who had located the same
ground as the Poorman. The latter ac-
cepted cash consideration, and the Viola
goes to patent.
Arrangements had been made to sell
the property to a Boston concern, and
the sale will now probably go through.
The fact that the Black Hornet, which
is only 10 miles out of town, has devel-
oped into a very rich mine, made the
controversy especially interesting. If the
sale is made the Viola will be extern
sively developed and the parties in inter-
est believe they will get the extension of
the Hornet ore chute. They already have
ore in the claim that makes it more than
a prospect.

ARMENIANS QUIET IN THE CAPITAL
The Sultan. However Still Claims They
Were the Aggressors.

Constantinople, Oct. 12.-Advices from
Trebizond say 200 persons were killed
or wounded during the rioting there
between Turks and Armenians. A
communication made public by the
Turkish government states the Ar
menians at Trebizond attacked the
Musselmen before the authorities could
interfere and so persons were killed or
wounded on both sides. The Armenians
at Rodesto. Armenia, also tried to at
tack the Musselmen, but they were pre-
vented by the police. During the dis
turbance an Armenian was killed by a
policeman.
The Russian government has cam
celed the order for the dispatch of
warship to Trebizond owing to the rep
resentations of the Russian counsel
there that 1t might lead to further ex-
element and disorder.
The last of the Armenians left the
churches of Samboul, in which they
sought refuge, yesterday in the pres
ence of the dragomans of the different
embassies. the government having
promised that the refugees would not
be molested. No Armenians were ar
rested. The dragomans received an
ovation from the Armenian population.
Ihe sultan sent message to Sir Philip
Currie, British ambassador, expressing
satisfaction at the success of the meas-
ures taken by the ambassadors to
clear the Armenian churches of refu-
gees. Later. Sir Philip had an audi
ence with the sultan and at the latter's
request 1sman Bey was sent to Bessika
bay, near the entrance to the Dardan-
elles, to survey sites for forts. Three
vessels with ammunition have been
sent to the forts at the Dardanelles
and 1t Is now known beyond doubt that
the work of laying submarine mines in
the straits has commenced.
DEATHS AT TREBIZOND.
Athens, Oct. 12.-The Greek counsel

The Admission of Confederate Veterans
to Nationa, Soldiers Homes.
Tacoma, Oct. 13.-At the regular
meeting of Custer Post No. 6, G. A. r.,
of this city, notice was given of res
olution to be introduced at the next
regular meeting which will attract
widespread attention.
At the national encampment held at
Pittsburg in 1894 and at the last en-
campment held i'm Louisville, the ques-
ton was mentioned, but Custer post OF
this city is the first organization in
the United States ever asked to take
formal notice of the matter.
George Hasbeard, well known poll
tician and a member of Custer post
gave notice that he would next Satur-
day evening offer a resolution provid-
ing that Custer post appoint a commit
tee of five to memorialize congress for
the passage of a law doing away with
the distinction between federal and
confederate veterans so far as relates
to their admission to national soldiers
homes; in short, that disabled eN-con-
federate soldiers be aGnoitted to nation
al soldiers homes On the same basis
as ex-union soldiers.
Mr.. Hasbeard, while not an active
Grand Army man, has been member
of Custer post since July, 1888. In The
late war he served in Company c,
Thirty-sixth Indiana volunteers
His proposed resolution has stirred
up much feeling in Custer post, many
members being outspoken against its
passage. Under the rules it will lie on
the table two weeks after being intro
duced.

"A thoughtful consideration Of the

have heretofore been used in common
by the people of that and the sub-ad-

where the local systems of irrigation
are now well developed have found 1t
necessary to intervene, by state legisla-

that his argument is likely to prevail

that If neither political party can carry

DEBATE ON VENEZUELAN MATTER
Report Expected From Congressiona
Committee Before Holiday Recess.

DSiOIS nOiludy
Washington, Oct 13.-The manner in
which the Venezuelan matter is to be
brought before congress has been out
lined in a general way by those who
have been most interested in the sub
ject. This will be by means of a resolu-
tion to be introduced, it is probable on
the first day of the session. 1t will
provide for the appointment of a COM
mittee of six, three from the senate
and three from the house, to consider
the entire question and to report as
to the rights and obligations of the
United States, and the course desirable
for this government to take.
This resolution, it is said, will not
delay the speedy determination of the
attitude of the United States. The pur-
pose is to have all necessary material
in the way of historical data ready
for the committee as soon as it is ap-
pointed, and it is expected a report
will be made to both branches of con-
gress before the holiday recess.
