THREE BUSY SESSIONS.
NATIONAL SUFFRAGISTS AT DIES
MONIES, IOWA.
Clash Between the Fasteners end
the Westerners, Which is Won by
the Latter.

Des Moines, Ia, Jan. 27.-Three busy
sessions were held by the National Amer
lean suffragists today. The forenoon was
married. by a sharp clash between the
eastern and western delegates, in which
the west came off victorious 1t rose
when the report of the committee on cam
Daign conditions was called for by Anna
l.. DiggS of Kansas, a Populist and CO.
worker of'MaTy Ellen Lease. Mrs Diggs
was not present, but had sent her report.
1t stated that Republicans and Demo-
Gratis were firmly set against woman suf-
frage. and there was no hope of friendly
action by them. The -PoDuliStS con-
tanned the greatest proportion of advo-
Gates of suffrage, but the party manage
ment had set its face firmly against
anything that would ieopardize the in
dustrial emancipation for which the party
is working. Mrs. Diggs recommended that
political work be placed in the hands of
women affiliated with the dominant par
ties in the several states. As TO Kansas.
she said since the defeat of the suffrage
constitutional amendment in 1894 the
cause was hopeless there. Her report
did not please the convention, and after
1t had been referred to committee for
consideration resolution was presented
providing for censorship of all reports be-
fore reading to the convention. The east
err, women favored it. and the western
opposed 1t as undemocratic, and the
westerners won the day.

states were represented in the conven-

mittee on plan for work recommended
that it be pushed in the western states
especially California, Oregon. Washing

others states be abandoned for the time
being. A proposal to remove national
headquarters to New York came from
one branch of the committee and other
like ones from other members. This will
be fought out later. In the afternoon the
session was devoted to memorial adj
dresses for departed members.
The evening session was of greatest
public interest, and was largely attended.
Addresses of welcome were made by

Selection of Railroad Lands.

In certain portions of the north and
west the railroad companies are pay
ing attention at the present time to
the making of selections of lands &C
-cording to the terms of government
grants, and it is said that in certain
instances they have been thwarted in
their attempts to obtain title to min
eral lands. Especially is this the case
in Montana, Idaho and Washington,
along the line of the Northern Pacific.
In California the miners association
is fighting the Central Pacific on this
point, and is sure to win, while in Ne
vada it would seem as if the railroad
company was about 10 gobble up some
of the best mineral lands in the state.
In Utah not much has been said rel
alive TO this business, and if the Union
Pacific and the Central Pacific are
making their selections along their re-
spective lines, it is not generally
known. 1t is stated, however, that the
character OF the land on Antelope
island, in Great Salt Lake, is now in
controversy between mineral claim
ants and the railroad company, and it
may be, if the facts were known, that
an effort is being made by the railroad
corporations to obtain title from the
government to valuable mineral lands
in the state of Utah While this may
not be so, it would be well for inter-
ested parties to look the matter up.

Chicago NAV Wheat Lower.

Chicago, Jan. 27.-Wheat was in a
completely demoralized and panicky
condition this morning. Opening at
the puts prices, it continued without
hindrance until 1854 for May was
reached, where little demand seemed
to spring up and moderate rally then
took place. Commission houses were
heavy sellers, their sales representing
pyramids built several months ago.
The bears were mercileSS in their sell
ing, many remembering the chastise-
ment they received in the bulge which
took place during the latter part OF
1896. May wheat opened from Il to
1917, declined to 1854, closing at 1873.
Oats.-What was true of corn was
likewise applicable to oats.
Proyisions.-The tone of the provision
market was little firmer. The hog
market afforded no strength, nor did
grain, but there was some demand for
packers and that served to sustain
prices early Later when a very weak
feeling was reported in the hog market

a SHELTER FOR TINTTC.
Big Producers May Build a Plan
Near Silver City.

Near Silver City.
The action of the smelters of late in
Masking advances on treatment
sbarges has had the effect of stirring
up the heavy producers of the state
and especially so in Tintic district and
The Herald is informed that the mine
owners of Eureka, Mammoth and Silve-
City are now considering the feasibil-
ity of putting in a smelter of their own
in the district. and that if is more
than Likely that if such a plant is built
that it viii be located in the Silver City
cOuntr.
There are probably some who viii
claim that this is all talk but The
Herald is creditably informed that the
mine owners are. in earnest and that
they are giving serious consideration
to the subject.
Among the properties which, will be
interested in the enterprise, if it is
carried to a successful fruition, may be
classed the Bullion-B Beck, the Eureka
Hill the Mammoth. the Swansea. the
South Swansea, and number of lesser
producers throughout the district. ana
it is believed that with the wide range
of the character of ores in the camp
and the abundance Of iron for flux.
that a smelter could be run by the
mine owners both successfully and
economically.
The only obstacle in the way of the
enterprise might be the railroads, and.
If these should see fit TO fight it, 1t
would he a struggle to the bitter end
between the two factions, as the mine
owners feel that they might as well
suffer losses in fighting the abroad
corporations as to be eaten up by the
smelters.
The projected smelter for Tintic is
common talk throughout the district
and the scheme is meeting with univer-
sal favor, as the camp is growing rap
idly, and as new producers are added
to the list. the. owners would like to
feel that they will not be obliged to

From all indications it would seem
as if the South Swansea mine, at Silver
City. Tintic. was destined to develop
into one of the greatest producers OF
the district, and the work that is
being done in the operation of this
property brings to light larger and bet
ter bodies of ore.
From Manager L. e. Ritter. who is
just in from the mine, it is learned
that the property is improving at every
point. and that there is no doubt as to
the future of this young but heavy
producer.
During the past few days a very en-
couraging showing has been made in
the south drift in this mine on the $50
level. In this drift. at distance of 80
feet from the shaft. a fault was en-
countered, but a cross-cut of ten feet
10 the west brought the workings into
ore again. and the pleasing feature o.
the occurrence is that the character oil
the ore deposit has changed, while the
vein is very strong and rich anG
larger than ever.
The ore in the drift before the fault
was encountered was sulphine in char
acter. but south of the break II is y
heavy galena and iron carbonates. At
the point where the vein was found to
the west OF the fault the ore chute IS
three feet in width. through which
there is a 20-inch body Of ore tina
carries average values of 10 per cent
lead. III ounces in silver and 81 cents
in gold to the ton, while the balance
OF the three-foot body assays 26 per
cent lead and 60 ounces in silver This
is a magnificent showing, and the COM
pany is feeling highly elated over it.
Work is still being pushed in the
sinking Of the shaft. which is now
down to q depth of AS feet, and it is
the intention on the 1st of the month
to cut a station at the $50 level and
then to drift both was.
On the 400 level the company is
working on ore both to the north and
the south The ore body OF this level
is all Of FIVE feet in width, all Of which
is solid shipping mineral, while on this
level and also on the $50 level there
is room in the slopes fer the employ
ment Of four more men or more. The
condition Of the market. however. viii
not justify the company in taking out
all of the mineral that il can, espec-
tally as its ore bins are now full to
overlooking.
Mt Ritter VIII leave for the mine
this morning for the purpose of loading
ore for shipment. and it is more than
likely that the consignment viii COM
prise at least 500 tons.

Advance in smelting Charges

The impression in mining circles that
the smelters were going to make an
advance in smelling charges is be-
ginning to grow into a stern reality,
Judging from the bids that the ore
buyers have been putting in for ores
lately. and it is understood that while
the shelters have not actually made
a combine that there is d thorough I'M
Outstanding between them, and that
they do not propose to have their bal
ances on the red side of the ledger this
year.
1t is on account of this gradual ad-
vance in treating charges that so few
contracts have been made with mine
owners, and it is more than likely that
the heavy producers will take their
chances on the open market rather
than to contract with the ore buyers
al the rates they offer, and in several
instances ii is better for them to let
the ore remain in the mine rather than
to gut the property just to pay rail
road and smelling charges. What the
outcome viii be remains to be seen,
but it is hoped that there will be a de-
cided advance in the metal quotations
within the next 80 days, and that the
competition for ores will become keener
in the near future

MINING STOCKS INACTIVE.

The mining share market was very
sluggish yesterday and the demand
for these securities was limited; SO
much so, in fact, that in the listed

them sustained losses in the bidding.
swansea was especially weak and was
not strong enough to elicit a bid of

victim of bear attack, and an eff
fort was made to break down Northern
Light. Buckeye was firmly held, but
was little off in the bidding.
Little Pittsburg made sales. but at
lower figure than the quotations of
a day or two ago. Richmond & Ana

buyer and seller were a cent apart.
Tetro made a sale for the first time

AFFAIRS AT THE VALEO.
Face of the Lower Tunnel Near the
Ore Body.

Park City, Jan. 27.-Robert Gorlin-
ski is expected to finish the survey of
the four unpatented Valeo claims to-
day or tomorrow. The officers are
waiting with great interest the COM
pletion of the survey, for it will indi-
cate the distance which the ledge lies
from the face of the tunnel. The latest
reports from the mine state that the
tunnel is in over 275 feet. The char
acter of some of the rock (spar) en-
countered in the tunnel gives evidence
of the near approach to the ledge.
Work is proceeding regularly in the
drifts on the upper workings, where
the ledge is uncovered more than 125
feet. Considerable ore is being taken
from the drifts, but it is being stored
in the mine and will not be shipped
until the facilities for hauling are i'm
proved. The treasury of the Valeo is
fortunate in not requiring to be replen-
ished by the sale Of ore.

Rich South Dakota Ores.

A dispatch from Deadwood, South
Dakota, says: Rich discoveries of high
grade ore, similar to the Ragged Top
district, have been discovered at the
head of Slaughter House gulch, within
the city limits of Deadwood. The ore
was found in an immense bowlder of
apparent limestone rock weighing
about so tons. Shots were put in it
and after breaking samples were taken
that assay $3.50 per ton.
In the immediate vicinity an i'm
mense limestone peak towers above the
surrounding hills. The section is alive
with prospectors. Float rock from the
surface outside of the original dis
covery assays from $50 to $50 in gold per
ton. These discoveries, following soon
after the Ragged Top and Bowlder
peak discoveries. have set the COM
munity wild.
On the Flora group at Ragged Top
several heavy shots opened one of the
finest assures that have been yet struck
in the camp. The vein is five feet wide.

McEvoy and Hubbard have purchased

a big roar is going up from some of
the claim owners in Rush valley. The
meeting for the organization of a new
district was held a few evenings ago
and Mrs. Howe elected recorder. Most
of the claim owners among whom are
DeLamar, Dieter, Dignowity and others,
say they had no notice OF any such in
tention and object to division Of the
district.
A meeting of the claim owners of
Camp Floyd district has been called for
Feb. 4 at which the question of extend
ing the district west to cover recent
locations, will be considered and will
probably be carried. This of course, will
conflict with the new district and may
result in litigation. The trouble arises
from the rather indefinite descrip-
ton of the western boundary of Camp
Floyd district. Claim owners say that
the new district was not legally organ
lied, no legal notice of a meeting hav-
ing been given; that it would be an in
justice to those who have in good
faith located and recorded claims: that
the recorder elected is not resident
of the district, and that it is opposed
to the interests of the original district,
as well as the proposed new one.
