NO MORE LETTERS TO GREECE


Powers VIII blockade the Ports of Crete

result of the pour parlers of the pow
ers Yesterday Saturday IL Il definite
agreement not to reply to the Greek
note, but TO issue orders 10 the foreign
admirals to establish an immediate
blockade of Cretan ports. which will
probably 90 in full operation to-mor-
row.
This agreement is somewhat in the
nature of a concession 10 Russia and
France. Russia, during the middle of
last week. proposed. with France sec
onding the proposition. another Joint
note to Greece, insisting on the with
drawal of the troops. instead of an i'm
mediate resort by the powers to force
Russia's action was inspired, it is off
cially stated, by certain sympathy
for Greece. but so many objections
were raised by each power in turn TO
the suggestion that the course has final
ly been agreed upon.
1t is thought the simplest way to
carry out the threat made in the identi-
cal note will be the blockading of the
Cretan ports and the landing of forces
sufficient to insure the maintenance of
order, leaving further action us to the
fate of Crete to later negotiations.
Ihis was the view of Russia ut the out
set.

Interview the insurgent chiefs. 1t ap-
pears that the admirals and consuls
have already discussed the proclama-
ton of autonomy since the porte has
agreed to it, but the powers are not

1t is now proposed to extend the

The commanders of the Greek cruis-
ers Alphios and Pinios are still in Gre

sitiOn. Their express orders are only
to retire from Canea bay under pro-
test, but on no account to leave Cretan
waters. They are ordered to resist to
the death any attack upon them. for
the honor of the Greek flag and nation.

This latter allusion refers to the fact
that the Greek commanders are de-
scendants of the Greek chiefs Kondou-
RIOTS and Miaulis.
The cruisers are hourly expected to
be fired upon. They are not allowed
to revictual their crews. The men are
living on biscuits and beans and the
officers have not slept for three nights.
Every man has written n letter of
farewell to his relatives. 1t is proba-
bic the Alphios will take the risk of n
visit to another port for the purpose of
revictualing.
A correspondent of the Times at Ath-
ems says the reports of famine in Crete
are probably much exaggerated. Bread
is scarce. no doubt. but oranges, figs
and olives are abundant and the cereal
harvest has been gathered in the east
ern portions of the island. In spite of
the blockade n steamer landed 800 vol

The Philadelphia Press says: "a
Failure in Philadelphia is the caption
of an editorial in the Cleveland Leader
on the municipal ownership of gas
works. The Brooklyn Eagle in SINH
lar spirit supports the argument
against municipal ownership by this
observation: We are informed that in
Philadelphia there Is n deficiency in
the gas account every year which has
to be made by tax upon the peo-
ple.' This unfavorable Judgment of
the profitableness of municipal gas
works has some vogue, and is the re-
suit of erroneous influences based on
the fact that the gas bureau has re-
Gently been an applicant for a share
of the proceeds from both temporary
and permanent loans. The inference
Is a very much mistaken one. The
Philadelphia gas works are a source Of
profit to the city. They always have
been profitable, except for brief
period Immediately after the reduction
of the price from $1.50 to 81 per thou
sand feet. This reduction caused a
slight deficienty at first, which was
more than made good by the increased
consumption which dollar gas brought
about. For the year 1895 the receipts OF
the Philadelphia gas bureau were So
1886. The current expenses were 81
9S5,513. This leaves a net profit of
$17O,443 of which $54,5s9 were ex-
pended in permanent improvements in
connection with the gas plant, and
$115,854 were added to the revenue of
the city available for other depart
ments. In addition to this the city got
its gas free to an araount which, If sold
at the usual ratea. would have added
to the city treasury $63S, 49S.

MICA MINES.
Situated about IL miles north
east Of Indian valley postofice, at
the headwater of the middle fork
of the Weiser river is q district
that is attracting some attention
on account of the mica that has
been uncovered. The range of
mountains in which the mica is
found is composed largely of coarse
feldspathic granite. On the west
slope of this range there is belt
along which the granite is greatly
decomposed and on the western
edge of the decomposed mass is a
vein of 3 to 10 feet of quartz and
mica. For several miles their
vein has been located, and $4,000
to $4,000 worth Of work has been
done burrowing and cutting into
the vein. Small and imperfectly
crystalized sheets and masses Of
mica are to be found everywhere
and there would be no difficulty in
extracting thousands Of pounds of
this class of mineral if there was a
suitable market for it Some fine
specimens of mica were exhibited.
WEST SIDE OF SNAKE RIVER.
The west side of Snake river did
not show as we'll as the Idaho side,
although it was not entirely de-
void of mineral resources. The
districts generally were gold pro-
ducers.
About 8 miles from Huntington,
down the Snake river, is the Bay
Horse mine from which the dis
trict derived its name. The ore
is found occurring in seams and
joining planes in the porphyry.
About 8 miles further down the
river, and 3 miles from the Snake
is the Conner creek gold mine, a
very good property, and the only
one in the vicinity. The mine has
been worked for about 25 years,
and over 1875 900 tons of rock have
been extracted and milled, yield
ing probably close upon 81 ,OOO, 900.
An old 35-stamp mill is employed
in treating the quartz, some OF
which is very rich in free gold.
