CANDY JOBBERS IN Sc SSION.
Middlemen Insist Upon Full Weights

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 4-Fifty dele
gates to the annual convention of the
National Jobbing Confecdoners met in
the city council chamber today. John
Gray of Detroit, ex-preSident of the
Candy Manufacturers association. in
a short speech, commended the course
of the middlemen, insisting upon full
weights and pure articles. Trouble en-
sued when President Stern of Cincin-
natl announced the appointment of a
committee on credentials. The president
had ignored the Chicago delegation in
making up the committee.
Albert. CuretOn arose to protest but
the president declared he was out Of
order, and not a member of the asso-
citation. The credentials committee was
soon ready to report, but a recess was
first taken until D. m.

WALKER ADMITS IT ALL.
HE STARTED THE AGITATION
AGAINST ANDREWS.
Nothing, However, Has Been Done
That. Was Not Clearly Within the
Line of Duty on the Part of
Each Member of the Board.n

New Hampton, N. H., Aug. 4.-Con-
gresham Joseph w. Walker of Wor-
ces-er. who is a member of the board
OF trustees Of Brown university, and
to whose opposition to the public ut
terances of President Andrews ON the
subject of free silver the recent resfg-
nation of DR.. Andrews is attributed.
admits that he started tho agitation.
and says that in his opinion there is no
chance that DR.. Andrews will be per
mltted to remain, or to reconsider his
resignation.
In answer to queries by an Associated
ireSS correspondent, Mr. Walker. who
IS spending the summer at his stock
farm here, stated today that he person.
ally started the trouble at Brown at a
meeting Of the corporation of the uni
versity last June. This was done be-
cause the utteranceS of President An
drewS were at variance with the views
OF the corporation on the question of
a national financial policy.
Mr.. Walker said: Nothing was said
or done at the meeting of trustees that
was not clearly within the line of duty
on the part of every member of the
board, and everything was said and
done with a feeling OF warmest friend
snip for DR.. Andrews. There was not
in the mind Of a solitary member of the
board the least idea of abridging Presi-
dent Andrews in thought or private ut
terances on silver or any other Ques-
ton. The corporation did rot demand
Mr. Andrews resignation. It sought a
friendly conference with its chief ex-
ecutiye officer. That is all. In turning
from the corporation, everyone of
whom was his friend. to the public and
taking the position he has, by himself
and by the position of the faculty, I
cannot see how by any possibility the
relations which must necessarily exist
between the president of the university
and the corporation can be re-estab-
ished."
Congressman Walker declared in clos
ng the interview that DR.. Andrews has
aught other things than silver which
we're thought TO be detrimental to the
progress of the university. His posi-
ion on the wage question, Mr.. Walker
aid is bad.

THE LOWER MAMMOTH STRIKE.
An Instance of What Grit and Ener-
gy Will Accomplish.

After years of Industrious labor, says
the Mammoth Record, a rich strike has
been made in the Lower Mammoth.
The strike was made at the depth of
124 feet in the winze which had been
sunk from a point $50 feet from the
mouth of the tunnel. The ore is a lead
carbonate, The first assay showing y
per cent lead, 70 ounces silver, a trace
Of gold and l 1-3 per cent copper. Wren
more depth was attained ASSAYS aver
aged II per cent lead, SO ounces silver,
S. in gold and 5 per cent copper.
Since the first discovery of metal,
which was made in the mine on July
10, the vein has widened out to two feet
and another strike Of copper carbonate
has also been made, which is low IS
inches wide. 1t is the intention CT the
company to go down as deep as the
present method of hosting can be con
veniently carried on, when drift will
be started. About 80 sacks of ore have
already been taken out and ton of
ore is being raised at each shift none
being taken out excepting from The
shaft. A shipment will be made in two
weeks. 1t is the intention of the COM
pany to take out sufficient ore 10 7ay
for a hoist. which will be put in on the
surface above the. Wine. The strike

claims. At present tne hold
ings of the company consist of the

most of the Hungarian, making III all

Lower Mammoth commenced work in
1895. and the company was
with a capital stock of
$50, 600 shares in July of last year. 1t
is a close corporation, most of the
stock being owned by Harry Josephs
and Joshua Barnett. When the con-
pany was incorporated Harry Josephs |

stock to his relatives and friends at 30 !
cents q share and it was said TO be (

the front as a mine. This strike
means much to Mammoth and Tintic,
IS it opens up what was generally
considered worthless ground. Last
February some of the best mining men
n the camp were asked TO give an
opinion of the property, but the reports
we're all discouraging, one even stat
ng that it was SO worthless that he
would not give candle for it.

Mining In the carihoo

Paul Rodenhouse. the well known
Utah miner, believes that ne has found
promising gold fields in the Cariboo
country, in Idaho. and it is his inten-
ton to return to that section within
the next few days.
Mr.. Rcdenhouse and associates. F.
Meyer and w. H. Dodge, are now de-
veloping some new quartz finds in the
region above mentioned. and it is be-
lieved they will soon find a place on the
list as shippers, as the lodges are wide
and carry good gold values
A great deal of placer mining has
been done in this district during the
past, and but little attention. if any,
has been paid TO the ledge deposits. so
that the country is practically virgin
in the way of developments.
The placer deposits are still being
worked, one company operating four
hydraulic giants. and it's last seasons
cleanup amounting 70 $4,000 in placer
gold, while one cleanup of $4,000 has
already been made this year.
The streams of that region flow into
the Snake river. Timber and grass is
and the facilities for mining
are good.

A KLoNDYKE COMPANY.
Will Send Two Men to the Gold
Fields In the Spring.

E. N. Jenkins, the well known piano
dealer and mining operator, is making
arrangements for the organization of a
stock company for the purpose of send
ing two prospectors into the Klondyke
country in the spring.
Mr. Jenkins idea is to form a syndi-
cate of 20 men. each member of which
is to pay into the treasury the sum Of
500 before sending anyone to Alaska.
Ten gentlemen to whom Mr.. Jenkins
has mentioned the project, have con-
scented TO join, and it is believed that
there will be no difficulty in finding ten
more who would be glad to embark in
the enterprise.
The idea is to perfect arrangements
this winter and send out two men on
the first boat that leaves in the spring.
The reason for sending two men is that
one OF them might take sick, when the
other could go on and accomplish the
desired object, and then, too, the cost
for two men would be relatively less
and the chances of success better.
Mr.. Jenkins would be pleased to con-
suit with those who believe that the
above plan is practicable and feasible.
