THE NEWS ABOUT NANsEN.

Letter From Prince KrOpOtkfn to
The London Times Tracing Its Origin.
From the New York Tribune. ..,.
The correct text of the telegram which
has bean received at st. Petersburg con-
corning Nansen was as follows:
'Irkutsk, January 81 february 12.-The
contractor for Nansen, Kusnnaref, through
the Kolymsk ispravnik (ch!ef of police,

and active member of the East Siberian
branch of the Russian Geographical So
ciety. The paper is always very well in
formed in geographical matters.
There being no direct telegraph commune
cation between Yakutsk and Irkutsk the
telegraph does not go beyond Vitimsk,
which is at the junction of the Lena with
the Nitim), the news was sent by mail to
kirensk, town on the way to, and GSo
miles from, Irkutsk, whence it was tele-
lance of 6S5 miles between Kirensk and
Irkutsk can be covered in winter, under
favorable circumstances, in no less than
five to six days; so that the Yakutsk mail,
with which the news was sent to kirensk,
could Lot reach 1rkutsk before February

sent from Yakutsk with same mail, no fur
Their news could reach Irkutsk before that
date. From Irkutsk it can be telegraphed
in few hours to London.
AS to Kandakof, a mistake as to his
personality must have been made in the
first telegram at Irkutsk. see that the
chief Of the police of the Verkhoyansk dis

sack officer, Stepan Lavrentievich kanda-

The latest mail from Cuba brings three
letters from different sources confirming re-

given below directed to Senator Morgan by
Rafael Portundo, Cuban secretary of state,
from Tampa, Fla:
I'm Guatao, seven miles from the suburbs

2:3O O'clock the insurgents retired from the
town. Three hundred Spanish soldiers i'm

whom were some Spaniards, sick men, boys
of fifteen years and an old man of seventy
two. The violation Of young girls was
prevented by the protest of the Spanish
ants have been taken to Marlando for trial.
This news has been confirmed by living
witnesses who have just arrived from the
scene of the butchery."
The details of the battle at Palo Preto,
between Santa Clara and Placeta, about
February 70, have arrived. The result is
considered more important than the battles

Sanchez commanded the Cubans and Gen.
Palanco the Spanish. The outcome was the
greatest triumph the Cubans ever had, the
Spanish loss being 700.
Gen. Palanco was severely wounded. and
his horse is now in the possession of Quin-
tin Bandera. In the flight many Spaniards
threw themselves into the river.
Insurgents Close to Havana.
The insurgents have destroyed the rail-
read bridge at Bacuranao, not far from
Havana. It is reported that the insurgent
leader Gill has burned the village of Ca

noyed by acts of destruction committed in
the neighborhood Of Havana, and it is an
nounced that the government will take
measures to severely punish as criminals
and bandits those caught in the act of de-
stroying property.
A small band Of insurgents surprised the
storekeepers In the streets Of Anglona de

ton & Lark continued quiet The July
dividend of half a, cent per share was
paid on the 18th. Buyers were not nu-
merous. Daily was slightly lower in the
offering, without any Improvement in
the bidding. The properties are max
ing a good record, but the absence of
dividends continue to depress the stock.
Daily West was in good demand at the
previous weeks quotations. The i'm
provements at the main shaft are being
pushed with vigor.
Neither Four Aces nor Eagle did any
business worthy of note. The quota
tons remained practically unchanged.
Ease Golden Gate displayed no activity,
although work with a drill is reported
to have commenced. This drill is being
used Tor the purpose of prospecting
from the foot of the shaft. Galena is
making regular shipments and the
properties continue to look well. The
stock did some business at quotations
OF the previous week. Horn Silver con-
tinued active, although sellers were not
willing to make any further conces-
sions. At the delinquent sale of Lucky
Bill stock it developed that practically
all of the stockholders had paid the
last assessment. Work is being pushed
at the properties. Development work
on the Little Pittsburg continued, with
the showing made encouraging
Mammoth will declare its monthly
dividend of cents per share on the
18th, and on the same day the Mercur
company will pay its July dividend of
121a cents per share. Both of these
stocks were in fairly good demand dur
ing the week and did most of the bust
ness, although the quotations on each
remained as during the previous week.
Ihe Mammoth is reported to be looking
extremely we'll. The Mercur mill closed
down for nearly two days on account
OF flood waters washing into the en-
CINE ROOM but full operations have now
been resumed. The damage done by
the flood was merely nominal. The
properties, especially the Matte, never
locked as well as at present. Ontario
continued quiet with quotations practi-
cally unchanged. Overland is looking
wela Buyers and sellers of Silver
King did not get together to any mark
ed degree, the sellers being unwilling
to make concessions. The work of in
creasing the mill plant of the Sunshine
company is to be vigorously pushed,
and it is expected that the new tanks
will be in within forty-flve days and
the mill operating to its increased ca
pacity, which will be between $50 and
200 tons daily. The stock was offered
only in limited amount. Swansea show
ed no Improvement in price over the
previous week, but on the contrary sold
off slightly although the close was
somewhat stronger.
An encouraging change has just oc-
CURED in the formation of the Tetro.
It now looks like pay ore was not far
away. Utah continues making very
gratifying record of production.

A VERY SHORT SEES ON HELD LAST
NIGHT.
Estimates on Needed Repairs at
School Buildings designations
Sent in-FinanciaI Report.

The session of the board of educa-
ton lasted about twenty minutes last
night, the chief matter under consid-
Grafton being the estimate of needed
repairs in the several school buildings
The bid of F. E. Shoppe & Co. for the
sum of $125 to repair the stoves in the
various school buildings and keep the
same in repair was, upon recommen-
dation of the committee on buildings
and grounds, accepted and the con-
tract awarded to him.
The scavenger work for the schools
from September l. 1896, to June 80, 1891,
was, upon recommended ton of the
same committee, awarded to the Salt
Lake Scavenger company for the sum
of $50 per month, to be done in ac-
cordance to the direction of the su-
perintendent of buildings
The following teachers rendered their
designations, which were accepted:
Alice and Eugenia Bruneau, Bessie
Grose, Ida 3. Woodwork and Emma
B. Dashley.
Member j. j. Thomas rendered his
resignation as chairman OF the COM
mittee on buildings and grounds. The
communication was placed on file.
The committee on buildings and
grounds reported having considered
the repairs needed in the various school
buildings and estimated that the
amount necessary would aggregate
$55, GEO. The committee was authorized
to proceed at once to solicit bids and
have the work done
The finance committee reported hav-
ing audited vouchers amounting to
$50, 1888, of which SPOIL was for in

MALLEABLEI IRON.
Norway Company in HardscrnbbIe
Have ii, Good Showing of Mineral.

Norway Company in HardscrnbbIe
Have st Good Showing of Mineral.
The Norway Iron Mining and Manu-
featuring company, whose mines are
located in Hardscrabble canyon, only
twenty-five miles from this city, has
flattering showing. The discovery
showed a vein over ten feet in width
of solid oxide of iron, which carries
| from $40 to $12 in silver and over 81 in
gold, with 65 per cent of malleable iron,
which is the best material for the
manufacture of Bessemer steel which
can be found in the world
The development work which has
been done SO far consists in running a.
tunnel under the surface to a point
where the same will connect with the
vein at a considerable distance and
where the management believes
splendid ore body will be encountered
which will be free from several sub
stances which now hold values down
to below what they might be hoped to
show 1t is presumed, and with good
basis for such presumption too, that
body Of ore at least fifty feet in
thickness will be encountered at the
depth the tunnel will penetrate the vein
The ore which underlies the iron will
undoubtedly be richer than that now
taken out.
AS stated, this iron is the best for
the manufacture of Bessemer steel
which can be obtained. It contains no
sulphur of phosphates, deleterious in ma
ture. The company is so sanguine of
success that it has expended not less
IMAM $4,000 on the workings. John T.
Lynch is president of the company. and
3. A. NJ Froiseth secretary of the cor
poraflon- 1t owns four Of the largest
claims in the district, besides mill sites
/ and ample water power, and being so
close TO TINS city it is in a position
where a good showing ought to be
made.
