about 45 barrels day.
the Echo Oil Co.'s well on the Love
farm, late addition to the producers,
in that field, is good for 40 barrels.
The Yoke & Nicholson on Richard
son is being pumped and they are get
ting little oil. A gentleman from out
there says the well is being mauipu-
lated in order to make poor showing.
The perforated pipe, he says, was con-
nected above instead of below the
sucker in the tubing, and if it mad
been properly come ted the well
would make much better showing.

Ell PASO, Tex, April 25.-A special
dispatch to the Times tonight from Chi
huahua, Mexico, says the most terrible
mining disaster that has ever occurred
in northern Mexico happened Thursday
afternoon at the Vieja mine, about
twelve miles from this city, in the
Santa Eulalia district.
The mine is very rich silver mine,
and has been worked for the last hun
bred years. The roof of the mine has
been supported by great pillars of ore
and few weeks ago P. r. Prieto, the
owner, began taking out these sup
ports. Prieto urged the miners, who
are Mexicans, to continue at work in
spite of protests, it is said. and the
terrible accident resulted. Eighty-five
men were at work when the cave-in
occurred; of these eighteen escaped,
sixty-seven were. buried and of these
thirty-seven have been taken out,
seven of whom are dead and thirty Sc
riously crushed and many will not live.
There is very little chance of recover
ing alive the thirty men yet under the
earth The governor left here today
for the scene.

A Bnrnin- Shaft.

BODIE, Cal, April 25.-Fire broke
out in the Standard mine this morn
ing before the day shift went on. The
fire started on the $50 foot level. the
flames are still beyond control and the
main shaft is a burning furnace. Min
ers are doing everything in their power
to bulkhead all Slopes and cross cuts
to prevent the fire from spreading to
the Bodie mine with which it is con-
nected. The electric machinery burned
is that put in one year ago. Miners
cannot ascertain the extent of the dam
age and may not for several days. The
loss is thought to be very great. No
one was in -he mine at the time the
fire started. The Standard is one of the
principal gold mines of the state and
the stock is mostly owned by New York
people.

DOESN'T KNOW.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Cardinal
Satolli has received no information as
to his successor as papal delegate and
the report that Mgr. Avalardi, present
nuncio to Mexico, would succeed him is
based on speculation, as no determina-
ton has been reached at Rome. There
some doubt is expressed as to whether
the delegate to Mexico would be trans
ferred to the United States just as his
services in Mexico were beginning. AS
yet there is no intima ton of the time
of Cardinal Satolli's departure.
The general impression prevails that
when the cardinal returns to Rome he
will become a member of the propagan-
da as a result of his intimate acquaint-
ance with the affairs of the church
throughout the world and particularly
in America.

THE NEW CABINET.

PARIS, April 25.-Public opinion
favors NJ. Meline as the man to whom
the task of forming a new cabinet
should be entrusted.
The radical organs declare that yes
terday evening NANTES tations are
only the prelude to an agitation which
will sweep away the senate and secure
the triumph of the democracy over
reaction.
The conservative journals think the
Tivoli meeting and subsequent mani
festations are a very bad augury and
may have serious results.
The Autorite confirms the report
that the revolutionary committee have
decided to organize a great political
demonstration in the streets on May

ator Brown today proposed and the
senate adopted an amendment to the
sundry civil appropriation bill, appro-
priating $4,000 for the purchase of a
site for the Salt Lake pubic building.
The separate bill, which passed the
senate on Thursday, fixed 100000 as
the limit of cost and appropriated $780,
600 to be Immediately available for the

Their the separate bill will pass the

to have $4,000 inserted in the sundry
civil bill. so that the site may be pur-
chased as soon as possible. When the
site is once secured, there will be no
further excuse for delay in providing
fer the construction of the building.

Mysterious Murder.

CHICAGO. April 25.-At a late hour
last night the body of woman was dis
covered in ditch at one side of Iowa
street, north of Chicago avenue, in the
northwestern part of the city. The
woman was well dressed, but there was
nothing to identify her or to indicate
the manner of her death. The body was
taken to the morgue.
The woman seemed to be about %
years old. The features indicated that
she had been handsome in life AT the
morgue the police carefully examined the
body to ascertain if possible the cause
of death, and to effect Identification.
They could find no external wounds. The
clothing was of fine quality. The woman
had light brown hair and blue eyes. The

VENEZUELA.

The under secretary of state for
foreign affairs, Mr.. George N. Curzon,
is to make a further statement in the
house of commons Monday regarding
the progress of the negotiations with
the United States on the subject of
Venezuela.
In the meanwhile the Times editor
tally reflects the government view.
Since plan for general arbitration
has been proposed in England it is
considered in Washington that the
proposals for arbitrating the Vene-
zuelan frontier dispute were merged
in It,
The Times says: cit is assumed
that the Marquis of Salisbury rejected
the Washington proposals in regard to
Venezuela. The Marquis of Salisbury
certainly did not accept the proposals
as they stood, but it was not imagined
that the action taken in regard to
them must positively be regarded as a
rejection. The difficulty was in regard
to the definition of settled districts and
the Marquis of Salisbury's efforts to
protect British subjects did not prom
Use to be successful, and accordingly
he attempted to solve the problem of
Venezuelan arbitration by solving the

Lake, which enabled them to secure much
trade in southern Utah which probably
belonged to Salt Lake.
The statement of the Ogden people that
not per cent. of the shipments come
from the west, the Union Pacific people
contend is not well made, as the new
Southern Pacific tariff makes rates on all
commodities shipped hitherto directly
from the east to Ogden and which are
now routed by the Sunset route.
With THE WESTERN.
General Freight Agent Hahn, of the
Western, said when seen yesterday, that
the case was fully stated in The Herald
justified by the fact that it received a
large portion of it's Utah business from
Salt Lake merchants whom it therefore
considered itself bound TO protect.
