Olympia. WASH. Aug. i0.-Only mea-
gre details have been received from the
burning district west and south Of here.
The wires went down yesterday and
the only method OF communicating n
by messenger. The city Is covered with
dense smoke and shower OF fine ashes
Is falling continually. Thus far two
deaths have been reported. Lars Pet
erson and Thomas White were riding
on a logging train near Shelton. when
the train went through a burning tres
tie. The engineer and fireman escaped
but Peterson and White were burned in
the wreck.
Simpsons logging camp was burned
out completely. and the heavy draught
horses were saved only by the heroic
efforts OF the men who rode them
through the flames. The men saved
their clothing and personal property by
digging trenches. All logging railroads
are blockade by falling tlmbers.
Heavy winds have famed the fre
through the dry timber till the roaring
OF the flames Is heard miles away and
the quick successive falling of the giant
trees resembles the noise Of battle.

Helena, Aug. l0.-The county commits
stoners concluded to-day their session as
a board Of equalization. They have been
engaged for the most part In examining
individuals or representatives Of firms or
corporations suspected of having personal
property IN the form of cash or unse-
cured credits that escaped the assessor.
Last year the assessment In Lewis and
Clarke counties on this class was only
100000. an absurdly small amount. The
new codes gives the commissioners pow
er to conduct examinations and enforce
the attendance OF those summoned be-
fore them.
listed property were examined. Many OF
them disregarded the summons Of the
board and subpoenas were served on
them by the sheriff. One bench warran,
was issued. A few OF the citizens brought
before the board were indignant at be-
ing summoned and denied the right OF
the commissioners to conduct the exam
inaItlon. a glance al the law convinced
them Of their error. A majority OF those
summoned, however, acknowledged the
right and justice of the commissioners
action and replied willingly 90 all ques-
tions.
The board increased the assessment OF
the county nearly 10000 by their thor
ough work. There is doubtless a great
deal Of money and credits that will es-
cape being taxed but the half million dol
lars caught will increase the revenues OF
the county very materially.

San Francisco. Aug. lo.-Afonday will
be the beginning Of the fourth week OF
the trial OF Durrant for the murder OF
Blanche Lamont. AMI the only progress
made has been the selection Of nine ju-
rymeu. A great deal OF interest ccnters
In the action OF Judge Murphy with re-
gard 10 Juror Brown. It Is generally be-
neved that he will allow the challenge
of the district attorney and relieve Brown
of Jury duty on the ground that the Dis
trict attorney did not know of Browns
experience IN the United States district
court in the Howell counterfe.ring case
1t Is believed the jury box will be filled
next week, evel should the rtirement Of
Brown make the selection Of four more
talesmen necestary. With/only four to
select from the 30 venlremen summoned
for Monday the prospect Is good for COM
mencing the actual trial on the fifth
week.
Il Is said that Durrant's hope lies In
convincing the jury OF his Innocence and
not in an appeal on a technical
point, should 1t be necessary. The
prospects are that the case Will
be complicated. but Judge Mur-
phys rulings IN criminal cases usually
bear the scrrt!Ly OF an appetite court

Year Of Exceptionally Low Prlces.-The

WASHINGTON, July 30.-In discuss
ing the lead mining industry tor 1894
the geological survey says that the
year was one Of exceptionally low
prices. Mining declined and it is
necessary to draw on foreign sources
to supply the deficiency, The produc-
ton of refined lead in the United
States has grown from 1900 short
tons in 1925, to $4,000 in 1894.
The product of 1898 was the largest
on record, amounting to 229, 900 short
tons.
The following tables show by states
the domestic products melted Colo
RADIO, $4,000 tons; Idaho, 33, 800 tons;
Utah, 23,20O tons; Montana, $500
tons. The total domestic production
is put at 1872, ZOO tons. The consump-
ton of lead is placed at OF, 81 tons.
Prices during the year ranged from
1907 to $3124 per 100 pounds.

There is really nothing new from
the seat of the Indian war in Jack
sons Hole. The news of this week
is pretty much the same as last week.
Parties from the Tetons who were
in Blackfoot the first of the week re-
ported that there was no uneasiness
or fear at their homes, and that they
had only learned of the great excite
ment on the outside after they had
left home and journeyed many miles
toward Blackfoot
The Shoshone and Bannock Indians
of the Fort Hall reservation, who visit
Blackfoot every day, insist that near
ly all of the Indians are at home on
the reservation, and if there be any
threatened trouble at Jackson's Hole,
it must be with other Indians and not
with the Bannocks.
