CAUSE OF THE RISE.

Rochester. N. Y. April 12.-Charles
E. Everest. vice-president and treasur-
er of the Vacuum Oil company, said
last night. when questioned as to the
great advance in oil during the last
few days:
ssThere is no doubt but that the
known fields are yielding less oil than
formerly and in fact the supply at
present does not keep pace with the
demand. One thing is certain. this in
crease in prices will undoubtedly slim
ulate the owners of oil fields to further
develop their claims. When this is
brought about the price will be re-
duced."

Working Half Force.

The concentration at the properties of
the Ophir-Hill Mining company is now
turning out about twenty-five tons of
concentrates daily, being operated only
to one-half its capacity. Colonel Wall
has decided that there is more money in
treating the copper ore from the mines
than the silver-lead. and in consequence
the plant is now operating almost exclu-
sively on the former grade, which gives
an average of II per cent. copper and
some silver and gold. Within the next
few days it is anticipated that the full
water power will be available.

RAISING ALL THE WATER.
Ore Bodies in the Pioneer Mine
Being ExpOSed.

Advices received yesterday morning by
Hon P. +. Farnsworth, were to the eff
feet that the pumps at his Pioneer mine
in Lincoln district, Beaver county, are
now taking care of all of the water in
the property. and it will not be many
days before the accumulation is raised to
the surface. Just a week ago the ore
bodies below the old workings were
cut by the incline and continued develop
ments have demonstrated the fact that
they are as rich below as was the case
above and that the property contains
vast quantities of high grade silver-lead
ores.
Just as soon as the water is all raised,
which should not be long now, the ex-
traction of ore is to commence and then
shipments to the smelters will speedily

MORGAN TO DE REopENEp.
Some Experiments as to Ore Treat
ment Coming.


After an idleness of something over a
week, the Park City properties of the
Morgan Mining company, formerly the
Meears Mining company, are to be re-
opened and developed. This morning
General Manager Morgan will go out to
the Park and place a force of men at
work in the mine. For some days he has
been in the city consulting with the
other members of the company and some
changes have been decided upon. Every
thing will depend, however, upon ex-
perments which are now to be made
The showing of ore is said to be first
class in the drifts and tests are to be
made with the view of determining the
best method of treatment for the high
grade. The company also has in con-
temptation the sinking of the 600 foot
shaft some 200 feet deeper in order that
the ore bodies may be reached and de-
veloped without the use of the present
system of drifts and inclines, which
makes the cost of extraction altogether
too high.

CAVE IN THE COMMERCIAL.
Great Stretch of Rock Came Down
Into the Tunnel.

Bingham canyon was shaken up yester-
day by a big cave-in in the Commercial
mine. A piece of ground sixty feet IN
length by thirty high, the width of the
tunnel, fell in, and the conclusion caused
by forcing the air from the inside blew
the carpenter and blacksmith shop at its
mouth off the surface. No one was in

Many of the inhabitants hocked to the
scene. thinking a great calamity had hap
pened. 1t will be two weeks before the
tunnel will be cleared again so that TAX

Hart said he had called up the

of every article. He had endeavored

stood on the matter. The chair had
then ruled that only the article as
whole needed a roll call and full
majority. This was generally agreed
to and the convention had proceeded
on that line. He objected 70 the chair

that l have helped some of the boys

he don't owe me much His store is over

BLOODSHED Is RIGHT.

An Alabama Man Says Force is Justifiz-
BILE Ia Case Of FrauduIent Elections.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Sept. 13.-Col. D.
S. Troy, one of the leading lawyers of
the states, who recently joined the Popu-
list party in the interest of honest cleo
tions and free silver as he said, and
whose plan for honest elections and
free silver convention, to meet in Bir-
mingham November 1 next was adopted
by the Populists, is out in a two column
article in the state organ of the Popu-
lists
Col. Troy endeavors to explain
under what circumstances the use
of force at voting places would be
legal and .justifable. He regards
the wilful refusal of the county officials
to have on the board Of elections inspec-
tors and intelligent representatives of a
class whenever practicable to do 80,
sufficient evidence of fraudulent pur-
pose to debauch the election franchise
aud an honest law abiding citizen, he as
serts, has the same right to prevent the
election being held by them as ne has to
prevent any other violation of the law in
his presence.
He thinks that under these circum-
stances whatever force is necessary to
stop the election should be used, even
though blood has to be shed.
