GREAT BRITAIN REFUSES.
VIII Not Enter the Seal Conference
with Russia and Japan for Fear
of Being OutvOted.

London, Dot. 6.-Officials of the British
foreign house have communicated to
United States Ambassador Hay the final
decision that the government of Great
Britain must refuse to take part in any
sealing conference with representatives
from Russia and Japan. The British
government asserts willingness to con-
fer with the United States alons, but does
not suggest any date. 1t is thought the
probable result of Great Britain's with
drawal will be two meetings, one between
the United States, Russia and Japan, and
the other between the United States,
Great Britain and Canada.
Until the Canadian officials informed
the foreign office here of Canada's objec-
tions to meeting Russia and Japan, out
of fear of being out. voted, Great Britain
fully intended to enter the conference.

Authority or the Dictator Likely
to Terminate in Failure.

New York, Oct. GA dispatch to the
Herald from Guatemala says: Official
reports from all points today give ac-
counts of many victories of Dictator
Barrios' army, and it begins to look as if
the tide of war has turned strongly against
the rebels.

ALBUQUERQUE NOTES.

W. II. Matson, Jr., formerly joint sta
tion agent here, has gone to Fresno,
Calf, to assume the duties of CONNER
cal agent for the Santa Fe system.
By agreement of both parties, John A.
Lee, as administrator for the estate of
William Talbot, was given one month in
which to file his report with the probate
court
The Citizen reports that the board of
county commissioners finished all the
business before it yesterday and ad-
journed until the first Monday in No
vember. The board complied with the
provisions of the Bateman law, and as
there was only $4,000 with which to pay
the expenses of $4,000, each account was
reduced SO per cent. The matter of call
ing in bonds of the issue of 1884 and
1885 was laid over until the next meet
ing, when the commissioners will be
better posted on the legality of the pro-
posed action.
The United States and territorial grand
juries were organized yesterday and
Judge Collier gave both bodies full and
EXPLICIT instructions. Luke Walsh was
chosen as foreman of the United States
as foreman of the territorial grand jury.
Jesus Sedillo was selected as bailiff for
the United States grand jury and Mateo
Chavez bailiff to the territorial grand
jury. Modesto Ortiz and Pablo Anaya
we're respectively appointed as inter-
prefers for the United States and terri
torial grand juries. Nestor Montoya was
sworn in as interpreter for both courts.
1t is with extreme regret that the
Democrat announces the separation of
Guy De Mar Endsley and his child bride,
who were married in this city few days
ago. Rumor has it that the young girl
had been betrayed some months before
her marriage by an INSCRIPTIONS villain
by the name of Leicester Curtis, who
spent some time in this city. Curtis was
about 27 or 2S years of age and was here
with an invalid brother who has since
died in Connecticut He is said to be the
son of wealthy planter in Jamaica. he
! lived in the same house with Miss Post
! for some time and left her on the 9th of
last July, after making the 16.year old
girl all sorts of specious promises. More
of the case will probably be heard within
the next few days.
Prof. Chas. Z Hodgin of the univer-
sity has been appointed by Prof. D. M.
Richards, president of the territoTss
association of teachers, to the place upon
the executive committee left vacant ny
the removal of Miss Isabel Milligan. The
appointment will be popular one, says
the Democrat, as Prof. Hodgin has been
member of the association since Its
organization in Albuquerque twelve
years ago, and is thoroughly familiar
with its aims and works. The coming
session which is to be held in Albu-
querque will be, without doubt, one OF
the most important in the educational
history of the territory.

Mineral in the Olympics.

A prominent minerologist, w. A..
Hall, recently returned from a trip to
the Olympic mountains, going from
Seattle to Port Angeles, and thence on
horseback up the valley of Elwha
river seventeen miles to south side Of
Hurricane hill, which is the second
range south from the straits of Juan
de Fuca, at an elevation of from 5000
to 1000 feet. In an examination
made of various mines and some little
preliminary prospecting done, show
ing o. copper was seen, especially on
Hurricane hill, which would strongly
suggest that somewhere in the Olym-
pics there is an immense deposit OF
copper ore-native in its character.
This inference is enlarged on from the
fact that on one stream in particular
native ore is panned.
Geographically the Olympics, of the
ground gone over, shows indications
of having been formed under the sea,
and the sedimentary deposits Gaping
the range are of such extent and depth
that it will be necessary to drive tun-
nels at length and shafts to depths in
order to reach the igneous and meta
morphic formations which are the di-
rect source of mineral. The rivers
and tributaries of the Olympics carry
float that imply favorable rock con-
tact for gold, silver, iron and copper.
In panning the Elwha river, Ennis
and Morse creeks, no placer gold Of
any consequence was found. The
Olympics, in mineral characteristics,
afford valuable and extensive field
for the prospector. 1t is as yet prac-
tically an unexplored and unprospect-
ed country.-Mining Herald.

OLYMPIA, July 8.-A dispatch EN-.
anating from Olympia several days
ago, giving a comparative statement
of the expenses of the state govern
ment for the months of April and
May OF 1895 ana the present year, one
under Republican administration and
the latter under the fusion party
makes the wildly ridiculous statement
that, because of the discrepancy be
tween the two totals, the present ad-
mlnistration is saving to Che state. So, ;
400 day. The appended compare
tive report of the variants issued by
the state auditor f6r the month of
June in two years selected for the
Populist press, puts different face on
the showing, and while possibly less
money will be expended in 1897 and
1898 than for the same period under
more prosperous times, the people can
not be misled into believing any such
preposterous statements as have been
actually given space in the papers
mentioned.
1t is manifestly unfair toselect any
particular two months iu which to
make comparison of expenses.
1t will be observed that in June of
the present year there were issued ST.
1921 in certificates of Indebtedness.
There were issued to meet expenses
that the last legislature failed to make
any appropriation for, and the money
will have to be appropriated at the
next session of the legislature, as these
certificates are for salaries and other
bona tide expenses of the state.
The largest item in the 1895 list is
the warrants drawn 6t1ithe capitol
building fund, which should not be
included in the expenses of June, 1895,
as it is in no sense a charge against
the state, but, as is well-known; these
warrants will be paid out OF the sale
of lands granted by the United States
to this state, to be used for the erec-
ton of a capitol building, and no
other purpose. The holders of these
warrants do not expect the state to
pay them in any other way. Deduct
this $23,365.75 of the capitol building
fund warrants, leaves balance in
favor of the Republican administra-
tion for the month of June, 1895, of
about $4,000 over she like time under
the present much-vaunted regime.
At the close of the fiscal year it will
probably need microscope to see the
$3,405 day saved the state.

Large Logging Contract.

The Port Susan Logging Company
has undertaken one of the largest log
ging contracts ever known on Puget
Sound. 1t has arranged to furnish
15O,OOO,OOO feet OF logs from about TO-
600 acres of timber land on the Stilla-
guamish River. and will cut 100000
feet year until the above great con-
tract is finished
G. H. Cobb, president and manager
of Port Susan company, was formerly
log buyer for the Port Blakely Mill
company. He was aware of the fact
that the Port Blakeley company own
ed several sections of the finest tim
Der in Snohomish county, and that the
company has no immediate use for it,
because of the logging enterprises of
the company in the vicinity of Shell
ton and Kamilche. He therefore
went to work with the idea of getting
control of the Snohomish timber on
stumpage basis, 50 that he might Sc
cure the logs and furnish them to
mills about the Sound. After many
many months of diligent effort he or
ganized his company, and secured
contract for the purchase of the tim
ber. The price and terms are private,
but it is understood that the price is
low enough so that handsome profits
may be realized even at the present
low market for logs, 1t is even said
that the logging company has secured
a price sufficiently low to cover possi-
BILE declines in seven years to come.
But we'll informed lumbermen do not
anticipate decline. They seem to
think that lumber is bound to be in
great demand and to increase in value
very perceptibly within the term of
the contract of this company.
The Port Susan Company will have
its first logs in the salt water in Au-
gust. 1t has already secured the fine
railway and logging outfit of the Aims
lie Lumber Company, and is actively
engaged in putting it in. Tne plant
when completed will consist of three
miles of standard gauge railroad track,
one locomotive, twenty-six trucks,
and four logging engines. The land
is located near the Tulalip Indian
Reservation, and so near the tide wa
ter that the three miles of track will
be sufficient to avoid dependence upon
river freshets. Upwards of 125 men
will be given almost constant employ
ment in the various departments of
of getting the logs from the trees to
the mills.
The logs furnished by this company
will not be sold to any mill in partic-
ular, but will enter the market gener-
ally. The Port Blakeley Mill may Sc
cure some of them, but it will be a
matter of business between the two
companies. 1t is stated that the con-
tract for the purchase of the timber
does not affect future dealings upon
the filling of small orders for logs.
But one of the Seattle mills will take
perhaps half of the output of the Port
Susan Company.-Press Times.

was operated awhile some two years
ago, but did not prove success, has
been started up again, and from 80 to
40 horses per day are being slaughter
there. The company will make an
