.Blackfoot" Mining District.

'.BlackfOOt' Mining District.
r. Miller came up from Spokane on
business Wednesday, returning to the
city the same evening. Mr.. Miller
aecently made trip to Baker City,
and visited some Of the mines in that
locality. He saw the uPhilipps'' mine
five miles from Baker City, and the
"Virtue," IL miles from the city, and
was quite favorably impressed with
both properties. On returning from
Oregon he stopped at Palonse City,
and thence drove to what is known as
the ssBlackfoot'' mining district in
Latah county, where placer mining
has heretofore been the chief attrac-
tion. OF this district Mr.. Miller
spoke in glowing terms, some import
ant discoveries having recently been
made which will help the camp won
derfully within short time. Several
Iedges have been struck with from
three TO i've feet or free milling pay
ore, assaying as high as $50 and $50
per ton. Mr.. Miller thinks that a
conservative average would be about
$40 per ton. He seemed highly pleas
ed with what he saw in that locality,
and will probably revisit it in the
near future.
Mr.. Miller says the crop outlook in
the PalOuse country is just splendid
| and an abundant harvest is assured.
He is a close observer, and says that

make tour of British Columbia in
the near future, and upon his return

Through the courtesy OF w. H. Gle

magnificent and words heggar descrip-

IRON TRADE REVIEW.

CLEVELAND, O., April 4.-The Iron Trade Review says today: 'Some large sales of Lake Superior Bessemer ores have 1bsen closed the, Ipast week ,itie total run- ming up to 3, 1000, ,O0o tons, of which about 1 ,00O 1000 tons have been sold in the past day or two. The advances established srange from 10 to % cents above the prices of last year. leading western steel interest IS the principal buyer thus far. The coke ad- vance of S1 .35, together with that on ore, n1eaus close to 75 cents added cost on every ton of Bessemer pig iron. Makers of Bes- semer are much frmer in their position In ,view of this situation, and while the quota . 'tion of S10 at valley furnaces was about 10 cents above market transactions last week, offers of FLO at the furnace for May and June deliveries are now refused. Some Pittsburg sales are reported at Sl0.75. Furnaces that had y9.50 in the valley as their minimum under the old prices would have to main tain Sl0. 15 or $10.25 figure under the new coke or ore basis. Owing to the fact that few low priced coke contracts are still run ming and that some of the furnaces have ore to carry them two or three months ahead, there will be some unevenness. in the market for the next few weeks. Southern furnaces will now have an advantage ln comretition with northern foundry irons, which may give the former large share or northern business.'

NEEDED-A HOSPITAL.
To the Age-Herald:

To the Age-Herald:
 The crying shame of the hour is that city of Birmingham's population, esti- mated at 35 ,000, has o provision for it's sick poor. l do not think there is a city of Bir- mingham's population in the United States that is absolutely without any permanent provision for its sick poor. It Is true that the good ladies of the United Charities are doing all they can to relieve the distress and suffering. But should the people of Birmingham be satisfied with that? Is it right for them to lie supnely on their backs and shut their eyes to the existing evil and to turn a deaf ear to the cries of the sick and the maimed? The poor mans wealth is his health, and when he is stricken down by disease, no longer able to work and unable to provide for the wants of his family there, should be some place provided by the authorities where he could receive the proper attention and treatment, so that speedy restoration to health would be brought about.
 hospital for the sick who are without means is a necessity for any city of the size of Birmingham. If every good man and every good woman in Birmingham will go to work today we can have another hospital before the expiration of the year.
 Put yourself in the. place of the sick poor and See if it does not touch your heart. You have been blessed with means which places you above want. Can't you give something 10 help hose back to health who are needy and sick?
 The clergy should, and l do not doubt will, aid in this charitable work-I mean by using their influence in its behalf. When the city authorities are approached they plead poverty and inability to give any help.
 The hospital can be run at an expense much less than in the past. All the doctors will give their services free, even the resi- dent. We can, think, also get nurses without pay by giving them course of training. Not more than one salaried Il urse will be necessary.
 This is 6 question which hope ths good people of Birmingha will take up at once and carry to a successful termination.

WORSE AND MORE OF IT. Lee Harris, Whose Confessions Cause Men to Shudder, Tells of His Murderous Deeds in North and South
 Carolina.

Lee Harris, alias John Linder, made an : other confession yesterday, that of therob- bery of a Blount county farmer named Tidmore, whom he met in the road near East Lake last November and robbed. He gave the officers pawn ticket on a broker in Bessemer, here he said they could find the watch he took from Tidmore.
 Mir. s. A. Vaughan, who recently came to Birmingham from Greenvlle, 8. C., called at the county jail yesterday to see Harris, alias Linder. Both recognized each other at sight, and to MT. Vaughan, an AGE HERALD reporter and others Hair.s recounted his crimes in North and South Carolina. He told of beating to insensiy. bility aud robbng Ali Edwards near Greenville Mir. Edwards was almost 70 old and had with him S120, which amount he received for three bales of cotton. liar ris and Lewis Owens were arrested for the robbery, Harris escaping from prison two a term in the South Carolina penitentiary for the offenHe.
 At small town in North Carolina Harris says he shot three men who were driving along the road in wagon. He slipped up behind them and shot each of them once before they saw him.
 Near Spartan burg, s. C., he claims to have shot negro man whom he called Charley. He says Charley whipped his sweetheart, and going to the latter's house that night he called him up and shot him.
 Shortly after that Harris came to Ala bama, and since September, 1894, claims to have been working at North Birmingham.
 He told Captain Donelson that hardly a crime of any consequence had been com mitted in or near Birmingham within the past six months that he and Abe Mitchell did not participate in.
 GRAND JuRY INVEgTIGATING
 The grand jury has been investigating the case for the past two days, and it is very likely they will return indictments against Lee Harris, alias John Linder, Abe Mitchell, Stonewall Thomas and probably Jim Lewis today.
 A speedy trial will be had, it is thought, and the cases against the parties implicated may De called the first thing at the next capital docket call.
 HE PRAYS.
 Harris says he is satisfied and is willin 2 to die for his crimes. Yesterday he knelt in his cell and prayed several times. He called upon his Maker to pardon his sins and prepare him to die.
 One peculiarity about this hardened crim- inal is that when telling about robbing or killing white person he smiles and treats it as a joke, but whenever the Merriweather murder is mentioned he breaks down and cries,
