DEVELOPMENT IS BEING
PUSHED ALONG.
Cumming BIRD ano Black
stone ootnQ TO tbe
Front.

| r. R. Spence was over from the
Humming Bird mine Thursday
In conversation with the EXAMINER
scribe, he stated that work was
being pushed rapidly on his mine
and by the time another month
rolls by some twenty men will be
employed by his company. It il
the intention, within a few days
to begin on 700-foot tunnel, which
is to tap the vein 300 feet below
the present workings. This will
give an immense amount of stop,
ing ground, and, as the vein is per.
haps fifty feet wide, open up enough
ore to keep the smelter at work
for long time.
The company has surveyed q
mill site and in the spring
twenty-ton smelling plant will bl
put in. Plenty of timber is closE
at hand for all mining and milling
purposes.
The ore thus far encountered Il
of sufficient richness to pay d
handsome profit, but the company
expect to develop their property
thoroughly this winter and ascer-
tain if possible just how much p8y
rock they can count on withoht
sinking a shaft.
A big boarding house will shorl.
ly be built and other buildings tol
winter will be erected. To thii
will be added a winters provisions
and plenty of powder, caps, fuse
etc.
At present the showing in tn,
mine is magnificent, and if the 700
foot tunnel proves the vein below
as above the owners have fortune
in their proposition.
The copper belt on which this
mine is situated extends through
the mountains for many miles and
if the Humming Bird proves to BIZ
the mine that indications noV
point to, we look for a great mum.
Der of claims to be opened up
The EXAMINER reporter will make
a visit to the scene of operations
shortly, and then a more accurate
account of the proposition will b
given.
THE BLACKSTONE MINE.
Last week we mentioned that
mill and other supplies had beer
shipped to this claim. We under
stand now that the Blackstone PEG
pie will have no less than thirtl
men working on their property al
winter. With the present price o
lead there are thousands of tons o
pay ore in this mine already il
sight.
A great amount of development
work has been done on this CLAIM
in the past, and it is in a position
to begin shipping as soon as tn,
mill is in operation.

THE RESULT.

All of these movements can have
but one result, and that will be to
place Bear Lake in the front rank
of the counties of thu state as a
mineral producer. 1t will be the
means of putting a great amount
of money into circulation and
furnish the valley with several
mining towns to supply. The min
eral is not confined to the places
named, but all through its noun
tains there are ouscrops of copper,
lead, iron, etc. The EXAMINER
welcomes the day that has brought
forth these bright prospects and it
trusts that every man who has had
a hand in bringing about this state
of affairs will realize all the wealth
out Of it that he can possibly hope
for.

TURFMEN AT THE SHORT END.
The American Trotting Association Grieves
Over SpaIdmg's hfatuaHon for
HIS typewriter

CHICAGO, I'LL, NJ ~ 1.-The American
Trotting Association is among the public
institutions of the West which have cause
to mourn over the infatGation OF Spald-
ing, the defau!ting banker, for his type
writer, Sarah Erwin. Spaldlng was treas
urer of the Western League of Track Man
ayers, and is reported 10 have had the
custody of $25, 900 or $50, 600 belonging to
the association at the time Of the collapse
OF the Globe Savings Bank. Action has
been begun against the bondsmen of
Spalding to recover $3l, 600, but it is feared
little if anything will be recovered
Spalding is not a horseman and is not
identified with the American Trottiug As
ISOLATION except as custodian of its funds.
1t is said that his election as treasurer was
due to the fact that he was president of
the bank at which the association had
been in the habit OF doing business.
Edward Hayes, who owned a half in
terest n Alix (2:03s4l, queen Of the trot-
ting turf, was formerly vice president OF
the Globe bank, while his partner, Morris
]. Jones, was director OF the American
Trotting Association. Hayes thus be-
came treasurer Of the trotting association,
but left the bank and resigned the treas
urership two or three years ago. When
he did so Spalding, president of the bank,
was chosen to succeed him. A large part
of the lost funds is said 10 be accum ulated
profits. 1t is not believed that the asso-
citation will be EN- barrassed on account of
this financial com plication.

Senate Subcommittee
Ready to Submit
Its Work.
The Democrats to Be Given
Time to Consider the
Measure.
Jones Of Nevada Holds the Key to
the Situation and Is With
the Republicans.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 2.-Sena-
tor Jones OF Nevada, the Populist men,
Der of the Com mittee on.Finance. has been
in consultation all day with old-time Re-
publican associates who are members OF
the subcom mittee engaged in revising
the Dingley tariff bill. The sub-com mittee
was in session at late hour tonight, and
apparently nothing now stands in The
way of their intention to report the bill
to the full committee next Tuesday.
The revised bill has been printed and
conld be reported tomorrow, but as Platt
OF Connecticut, a member OF the SUBJ
committee, will not return from his we'd
ding trip until tomorrow night, action
will be postpone until MS arrival.
Senator Jones is Republican still, so
far as his tariff views are concerned, and
owing to the peculiar personnel of the
Finance Committee he holds the key TO
the situation.
The subcommittee now feels assured
that the Democrats will not insist upon
delaying the bill in committee, even if
able to do So and its programme provides
for reporting the bill to The Senate next
Thursday. The Republicans will accede
to the request OF the Democrats for time
to consider the bill, and it will not be
called up for consideration in the Senate
for about a fortnight after it is placed on
the calendar.
The present intention of the Republi-
cans is to move to take up the bill in the
Senate on Monday, May H. and they are
hopeful that the Democrats will find the
intervening time sufficient for considering
the measure.
There have been some important
changes in the various schedules during
the past few days. including slight in
crease in some grades of woods and fruits,
and also some changes in the sugar sched-
ule. AS whole the bill, when finally re-
ported. will provide for decided reduc.
ton in rates as fixed in the measure
passed by the House.

AMERICA HAS A GORILLA.
The FIRST One Ever Brought to This
Country 10 Be Placed IN the
Eos.on Zoo

BOSTON, MASS, May 2-There arrived
here to-day from England, aboard the
Cunarder Pavonia, the first gorilla ever
brought alive to the New World. Skeptics
may smile at this, SO to prove the accuracy
of the statement few words by W. T.
Hornaday of New York, the highest
geological auth GRITTY in America, may be
quoted. Writing to Mr. Edwards, the
brother of the man who brought the ami
NAL over, Mr.. Hornaday says: Thus far,
during all it's sixty-seven years of exist
ence. the London Zoo has had just two
gorrillas, one in 1887 and one in 1896.
There has never been one landed alive on
this side"
The animal was placed in the Boston
Zoo. The gorilla is a youngling. He is
not very tall, perhap, two feet when he
stands up. bu. he is almost as broad as he
is high, that is his forte-breadth. His
hands are small and well made; his legs
are short and all muscles. Unlike the
baboon, he has no TALL he is enyeloped in
a well-fitting coat of soft black fur.
1t is remarkable head, the m ost human
easily. judged by the shape, ever shown
by wild animal. Its contour is strikingly
childlike. The brow is low and broad and
deeply wrinkled. The mouth and chin
are we'll formed. The eyes are large, soft,
brilliant and black. He is stunted, pudgy,
back-skinned, shaggy - the double OF
veritable Georgian backwoods pickaninny.

TREASURER BAR7LEYS 7HEFTS.
Nebraska win Sue the Omaha National
Bank to Recover tie Sum of
S2Of664 O5.

OMAHA, NEBR., May 1.-The State will
sue the Omaha National Bank for SOL
S84 %, this being the amount of money
paid defaulting State Treasurer J. S. Bart
ley on the now celebrated sinking fund
warrant. The papers in the case are
being prepared by Attorney General
Smyth and will be filed as soon as they
can be completed. The filing of this suit
will mark the elimination of one of the
most sensational features in the exposure
of the defalcations in the State Treasurer's
office while it was administered by J. S.
BARLEY.
Up to March 20 of the present year it
was popularity supposed that Bartley's
trouble was due entirely to the weakened
condition of the Nebraska banks with
which he had deposited public funds.
BARLEY evaded prompt settlement with
his successor on the plea that if he drew
his funds from the banks in which they
were deposited the banks would be forced
TO suspend, ana thus hundreds of private
business men in all parts of Nebraska
would be forced to the wall and a wide
spread panic precipi ated upon the State.
Then the truth became public. He was
short $780, 600. Nearly one-half of this
was in warrant sold to the Chemical Ma
tional Bank of New York through the
Omaha National Bank. Acknowledgement
Smyth contends, on the part of the State,
that the warrant was illegally drawn, that
it bore an illegal rate o. interest and that
the Omaha National Bank had no right
to pay ii out of the funds belonging to the
State although a check for the amount
bearing Bartley's signature was duly pre-
scented. Hence suit is to be brought to
recover the amount.

warded by her admission which has just
bsen attained by special vote of the fac
ulty, and was a big surprise. She is still
debarred from homiletics. however.
In response to the question whether she
is finally admitted TO all the instruction
desired, Miss Leggett answered in the
negative. She takes her half loaf CRATE

Il DIFFEKENT STORY.
What the HorId Correspondent Says of
the Situation.

the Situation.
NEW YORK, n. Y, May 3.-The World
prints a Washington dispatch differing
radically from all other reports. The cor
respondent says that the sub-com mittee,
after an all-Sunday session. has concluded
that the thrift schedules it had in mind,
which were lower than those of the Ding
ley or Mckinley bills, will not produce
sufficient revenue during the first year or
eighteen months to pay the expenses of
the Government.
The correspondent continues: GAS SEN
ators Aldrich, Allison and Plat are
strongly opposed to productive rates they
have been forced to consider new sources
Of revenue. 1t will, therefore, amaze the
whole country tom orrow when it learns
that these distinguished Republican pro-
tectionists are considering tax on those
articles of universal consumption which
all free traders consider the surest sources
of revenue-tea and coffee-together with
an increased tax on tobacco and BEER
The correspondent then, without giving
any authority for his statements, declares
that the committee in tends to raise $780,
600. 900 additional revenue on beer, while
the tax on tea and coffee is expected to
raise $50, 600 900 more. THE sub commit
tee," the article continues, has also con.
sidered an increase OF tobacco taxes
equivalent to SD, 600, 900, making $74. 0O0,-

NEW YORK, n. Y, May 2.-Postmas-

rican republic is here to attend the inter-
n..tional postal congress. He said to-day
the Beers would go to every extreme to
avoid war with England, but If attacked
would fight hard. He said the Uitlanders
had nothing 10 complain Of
On the contrary, the extravagances and
vices they had introduced in the country
had justly offended the Beers, whose
youths are being corrupted by foreigners
of dissipated habits. The Uitlanders' out
CRY about a lack OF suffrage he denied as
hypocritical, because they repeatedly re-
fused to secure it by forswearing allie
glance to other countries. They wanted
the Transvaal mines only. He said the
whole TransvaaPs population of $4,000
would rise to defend the country if neces.
sary.
