Big Mining Decision.

The supreme court Of the United
States has handed down a decision in
the Colorado case known as the Rico
Aspin tunnel case. The decision ap-
parently settles the controversy, not
only of that particular case, but be-
tween the tunnel site owners and sub
sequent locators of veins along the
line of the tunnel site or in it's terri.
tory. The decision of the supreme
court settles the contention that tun-
mel site locator has the right to posses
sion to every blind vein which crosses
the line of the tunnel within 1850 feet
of its face, which was not disc overed
when the tunnel was located; provided
that the tunnel site On ners have pros
ecuted the work on the tunnel with
diligence And the discovery of lode
or vein from the surface after the To-
cation of the tunnel will not deprive
the owner of the tunnel of any part of
the vein; and, provided further, that
he has diligently prosecuted his work
on the tunnel. The decision also set
ties the right OF the owner of such tun-
mel to locate l,5O0 feet along the vein,
and this location may be made partial
ly upon one side of the point of discov-
cry of the tunnel, or entirely upon one
side

JINGO MORGAN, Mason, Mills & Co.,
consider only the superior strength of
this great country as compared to that
of feeble old Spain in their attempts to
provoke the latter into war. But
American statesmen and publicists
are considering what is likely to be the
attitude of the European nations, es-
pecially those having interests in the
West Indies, while the United States
is trying to acquire Cuba. All the
naval powers of Europe have an inter
est to the attitude of Cuba, and just
now European nations are not feeling
go well disposed toward this country,
and they might deem it to their ad-
vantage to combine to check the
avarice and bullying disposition OF the
young giant of the west.

Prospective Mothers

should know that DR.. Pierce's Favor
lite Prescription robs childbirth of its
torture and terrors for her as well as its
dangers to both mother and child, by
aiding nature in preparing the system
for parturition, thereby rendering it
easy and almost painless. Thereby
''labor" and also the period of ccnfne-
ment are greatly shortened. 1t also
promotes an abundant secretion OF
nourishment for the child. During
pregnancy, it prevents morning sick
ness" and those distressing, nervous
symptoms, from which so many suffer.
Its use should be begun early in the
period of gestation-in fact the earlier

AN action involving questions of ma
tional Importance and treaty rights has
been fled in the United States court
for the district of Montana. The con-
test is between the Chinese residents
of Butte, Mont, and the various labor
organizations of that city, aud is like
ly to prove stubborn and bitter. The
chances are that the case finally will
go before the supreme court, as the
questions are, of interest to the govern
ment. For number of years the labor
unions of Butte, by persistent and
merciless boycotting, have compelled
nearly every Chinese establishment in
the city, no matter of what nature, to
suspend business. Now the Chinese
have applied for and obtained an in
junction restraining the labor unions
from com bining or colspiring to in
jure or to destroy the business of the
Chinese.

Acres of Cailings,

The great beds of tailings stretching
for a mile through wide ravine give
you an idea of the extensive manner in
which the Vulture has been worked in
years past. It is estimated that there
are 100000 tons. This opens q new
field of operation for the present own
ers. The tailings alone contain q
wealth of gold. From forty to fifty
acres of a wash between the foothills
feet at the beginning of the dump and
running to thin layer a mile or 80
down the ravine. 1t was these tailipgs
that attracted the new owners to this
property. This alone will bring them
profits enough to repay them for their
outlay in opening the big mine and tho
purchase price of the property. A 100
ton cyanide plant is now being freight
ed from FOOLS Gulcb, and few months
will see it in active operation here.
The present supply Of water is made
quate for the operation of the stamp
mill and the cyanide plant at the same
time. This, however, is a difficulty
easily overcome if the evidences Of
water which are now apparent in the
west shaft develop in the further sink
ing of the shaft. From the 5OO-foot
level water has run in and filled to q
depth of 100 feet, reaching almost to
the 4OO-foot level. A pump has been
put in and this water is now being used
to operate the mill.
The cyanide plant will be properly
housed, and good location south of
the mill has been selected for it.
Time enhances the value Of tailinRs.
The great beds of this substance hero
have lain long enough to make them
very valuable Oxidation has been
going on for a quarter of century in
these beds.-Phoenix Republican.

run the blockade of the North Atlantic
squadron now stretched over a distance Of
six miles off the harbor but in a position
to guard the south channel The Vesuviu>
is not scheduled to arrive here until tomor-
row. In accordance with orders issued by
Admiral Bunce the Dolphin weighed anchor
yesterday morning at $3.50 o'clock and de-
parted southwark. Her instructions were
TO steer out to sea and when beyond the
reach of telescopes and search lights to
formulate her plans for running the block
ade and entering the harbor. All last night
the watchers on the vessels kept on the
alert for fear the Dolphin would slip by
and enter the south channel, 1t having bean
agreed that in view of the lack Of ships to
guard both channels the south channel
would be the only one open. All through the
night the guards paced the decks. the
search lights lit up the ocean. but no sign
of the Dolphin was to be seen.
