THE CANAL CONCESSION
STATE DEPARTMENT WANTS TO
KEEP SAME.
Minister at Nicaragua Instructed to
Oppose Forfeiture-Secretary Sher-
man Is Awaiting Action.

NEW YORK, April 10.--The Herald S
Washington special says: Minister
Baker. the diplomatic representative
of the United States at Managua, Mic
aragua. has been instructed by the
States Department to take such steps
as may seem advisable to prevent the
forfeiture of the Nicaraguan canal
concession by the Government to
which he is accredited.
This action of the State Department
was taken upon representations made
to it by President Hitchcock of the
Maritime Canal Company. Mr.. Hitch
cock notified the department that he
had information indicating that Mic
aragua was contemplating steps look
ing to the revolting of the concession,
and requested that proper instruc-
lions be sent to the United States Min
lister at Managua to represent the in
advisability of such action. Hitch
cock pointed out that the concession
to his company would not expire for
some time yet on account of limita-
ton contained therein.
In addition to taking steps to pre-
vent the forfeiture of the concession, |
understand that Mr.. Baker has been
directed to carefully guage the senti-
ment among the officials in Nicaragua
interested in the canal, and he will
report on it to the Washington Gov
eminent. There is reason to belle e
that Secretary Sherman is awaiting
Congressional action in the Nicaragua
canal matter.

the miners in the vertical Red Jacket
shaft of the Calumet 81 Hecla copper
mine have recently stopped sinking at
a depth of 1900 feet, as this is the
depth necessary for the company to
reach the limit of its underground ter
ritOry. Bored wells have been carrie d
down to the greater depth, but the
Red Jacket sh taft is the largest and the
best constructed mining shaft in the
world. Its inside dim enslOnS are l4X33t
feet, divided into six compartments
and timb cred throughout with pine.
The hosting machinery consists OF
two pairs of triple expansion engines
of 5000 horse power per pair, and

buyer and smelter, that in short
time the price of lead will advance to
such an extent that Il large number OF
mines that were closed down when the
drop in silver first comms nced will b
opened up and do better than ever.
Let lead once reach 81 aud the effect
will b : seen at once. 1t Is very SIM
pie matter to figure it out on any given
basis. Take, for instance, ere that
runs six ounces silver aud 10 per cent
lead The loss in the silver has been
60 cents. The gain in lead between
$500 and 81 per LOO Is 81. 70, net gain
of 90 CENTS on the ore. For that reason

there will be as many low grace silver

Ripe apples, raw or cooked, eaten In
