THE MINING CONGRESS.



Salt Lake City, Utah, July 1.-The
international Mining Congress, which
drew to close Saturday, was q most
successful meeting. The attendance
reached several hundred delegates
coming from thirty-four states, Aus.
trnlia, Canada, Mexico, Venezuela and
Peru.
The sessions continued three days
and the papers embraced many topics
of interest to mining men in all
branches of the industry. The most
Important resolution adopted was one
introduced by ex-Congressman c. e.
Allen of Utah, asking congress to pass
law doing away with extra lateral
rights This was compromise mea-
sure, the committee on laws having
recommended the abrogation of extra
lateral rights, the apex vein and the
enlargement Of claim from twenty to
forty acres as a compensatory measure.
The report had the support of such
representative men as Prof. Reyes OF
California, ]. A. Murray Of Montana
and r. c. Chambers of Utah, but OPP
position was so strong that compro-
mise measure was introduced to secure
greater harmony.
A resolution was adopted asking
congress to create a department OF
commerce and industry.
A secretary Of mining was also
wanted, but there was a difference of
opinion as to whether to ask for q cab
met officer or merely department
chief under the secretary of the inter
Tor, as being the most promising of re-
suits.
Colonel Montgomery of Colorado,
was elected president and Milwaukee
selected as the next meeting place.

BROWN EYES THE BEST.
Theory That Blue Eye Shoots the
Best is Exploded.

Philadelphia, July 26.-The theory that a
blue eye shoots best has been exploded.
The champion marksman of the United
States army has brown eyes. With these
two brown eyes-he shoots with both eyes
open-he has beaten all shooting records
at all distances, in all positions, and IN
der all circumstances. The champion
marksman is now at Tampa, Fla, with
the Sixteenth infantry. His one bronze
medal and his six gold ones bear the name
of Richard N. Davidson. These medals
testify that he is the best shot in the
ENhc-S United States army. His com
rades are proud of him and are willing to
pit him against the world. Davidson en-
listed n 1856. In 1890 he won third class
department bronze medal for marks
manship. His comrades guyed him, say
ing all his time would be occupied in bur
nishing his medal whereupon Davidson
replied that he would win a medal that
would not need Furnishing. And he did.
In 1891 he won the first gold medal in
the team belonging to the department of
the Platte. In 1892 he again carried off
the first medal in the same department.
with a score that has never been beaten
or even eQualled since. The famous score
was $50 points out of a possible 800. Later,
at Fort Sheridan. Chicago, he captured
the first class gold medal for moving tar
get practice, the object being at a dis
lance of 500 yards and moving as fast
as a man moves in ordinary walking,
three miles an hour. In 1898 he was
awarded the first distinguished marks
man" gold trophy. the Buffalo medal
This is the greatest honor possible to
marksmen in the army. His score was
62 points out of a possible 800. These
prizes were all won with a Springfield
rifle There has been no contest since
the new Krag-JOrgensen rifle was intro
duced IN 1894 However, Davidson is
willing to try the new rifle in a contest
with any marksman in the United States
This crack sharpshooter is also famous as
the most rapid marksman in the army
In what is known as a haIf-saw back po-
sition in a skirmish he has fired an aver
age Of twelve shots in thirty seconds,
while others could discharge only seven in
the same time. While making these rapid
shots he holds his gun in a peculiar posi-
ton, which has caused him to be known
throughout the army as Gun Sling Dick
A remarkable fact in connection with this
wizard of the rifle by the way, is that
he has weak eyes.

BOOM IN FURNITURE.
Grand Rapids Manufacturers in Need
of More Workmen.

Grand Rapids, Mich, July 26-For the
first time in five years the furniture
manufacturers are finding it necessary
to advertise for more men. TINS is due
to the favorable opening of the new
furniture season and the encouraging
prospect for fall business.
Up to date the number of buyers who
have visited the market for the open
ing exceed 500, and this far surpasses
ali previous records. 1t is sixty-seVen
more than came during the entire
month of July a year ago, and the buy
ers are still coming. The season Will
begin tapering off next week, but Will
not entirely close until the middle OF
August, and late corners looking for
holiday novelties will be dropping in all
through September.
The buyers have been placing orders
with more freedom than since 1892, and
they are taking the better grades OF
goods During the business depression
chean and medium priced furniture was
almost all that was asked for, but the
cheaper grades are neglected this sea
son. The western markets especially
are buying freely.

PULLMAN ESTATE GROWS.
Shows an Increase of 100000 in
Nine Months.

Chicago, July 26.-The appreciation in
the value of Pullman Palace car stock,
so marked in recent months as the re-
suit of good business, and perhaps in
some measure because of the prospect
of Wagner consolidation, has a peculiar
interest as bearing on the Pullman
estate and it's settlement.
In the nine months that have elapsed
since the death of Mr.. Pullman shares
have advanced in value from 100 to 210.
It will be recalled that Mr.. Pullman
in his will left to his heirs 40, 900 shares
of this stock. At $50 this stock would
be worth, of course, $6,400,000, and at
21O it would have advanced to $S,400, 600.
This it has done, and the amount of
appreciation in value is $4,000, 900. Mrs.
Pullman, having chosen to accept her
dover rights, receives One-third of this
as we'll as of the other property in the
estate.
1t is seen that the increase in her
share of this one item is $685.. 1861

BREAD FOR SOLDIERS.
Largest Bakery in the World Operated
at Camp Thomas

Camp Thomas, July 26.-One of the
points of interest at Camp Thomas IS
the big government bakery which fur
nisheS fresh bread for General Brooke'S
army. This enormous institution has
been in operation for the last few days,
and no longer does the trooper protest
against eating "nardtack."
1t is no doubt the largest bakery IN
the world devoted exclusively to bread
making. An enormous amount of flour
is consumed in a day, and, of course,
the output is great. At present the out
put is over $4,000 IoaVeS of bread every
twenty-four hours. A force of $50 men
is employed, working night and day.
One force of men goes on duty at noon
are relieved by the second shift.
An amount of the work is accom-
plished by machinery, but the major
portion is done by hand. The dough is
is thrown into a large box machine ana
well worked" Each of these machines
will hold six barrels of flour at a time.
After the dough is worked into the
proper shape it is sent along to a force
of men, who cut and work 1t into
1OaVeS nineteen ounces in weight. Each
loaf must be weighed on the scale be-
fore going to the ovens. After baked
it must weigh at least eighteen ounces
It is interesting to watch the bakers
make up the lOaVes. This is accom-
plished with the use of a knife, which
the men handle with nghtning-Hke
rapidity. After the dough is made into
a roll-representing a lOaf-one dozen
are placed in a bake pan" and carried
by a strong boy to the ovens. If the
oven is in proper working order pan
of bread can be baked in thirty min
utes This operation continues from
morning until night, and from night IN
til morning. After the bread is baked
it is carried from the oven and laid
upon a long warehouse floor, where it
cooIs Later the bread is stacked up
in huge piles and issued to the various
regimental commissary officers.
Since the bakery has been in opera
ton every man at Camp Thomas has
received a loaf of fresh bread every
day. The bread is of fine quality and
wholesome. The flour is furnished by a
local mill, which has a contract to fur
nish 200 barrels a day.

PASSENGER MEN MEET.
Santa Fe Will Adopt Uniform Ticket
For All Lines.

An important meeting of the heads
of the passenger departments of the
Santa Fe system roads is being held
at the Montezuma hotel at Las Vegas,
New Mexico, today. The men in at
tendance are: George T. Nicholson,
passenger traffic manager of the Santa
Fe system; w. J. Black, general pas
senger agent of the Santa Fe; J. J.
Byrne, general passenger agent of the
Santa Fe-Pacific and Southern Cali
fornia roads, and w. S. keenan,, gener-
al passenger agent of the Gulf, Colo
RADIO & Santa Fe
The purpose of the meeting is to
adopt in as far as possible a uniform
series of tickets to be used on all the
lines of the Santa Fe system. At pres
ent different forms of tickets are being
used by each of the different lines, and
this has been the custom since the for
nation of the system. A uniform sys-
tenn would make the handling of tick
cts over the entire system much easier.
and would be an economical move,
saving time, labor and expense in
printing.
Uniform tickets will be decided on at
the meeting, and will probably go into
use within the next 90 days.
This is a move along the line of Pres
ident Ripley's idea of uniformity in all
branches of railroad work over the syS-
tenn.

the husband of one of the women. well
known railroad man, became suspicious
because of the regularity with which his
better half absented herself from home of
afternoons. He made an investigat ton,
and finally charged his wife with gam
bling. She confessed, but declined to give
up the races. Another husband made
similar discovery and complained to the
police. He did not want his wife arrest
ed, he said, but did want her to keep away
from the pool room.
The names of the women are in the
hands of the police, and it is probable
that, should they persist in playing the
races, they will be arrested on some charge
and taught a severe lesson. AS yet all

spouses. One of the women said last
night that if her husband knew she fire.

WAR ON FEMALE GAMBLERS
Kansas City Married Women Barred
From Playing Races.

Kansas City, July PA number of well

habit of playing the races at the pool
room on Central avenue were considerabl
surprised when they were notified by
policeman that they must keep away from
the place on the penalty of being arrested
if they disobeyed. The officers action
was the result of complaints by the hus-

TOPEKA,S NEW TRACK.
Years of Persistent Effort by Wheel
men Crowned With Success.

For nearly four years the wheelmen of
this city have been putting forth their best
efforts to build a cycle track. Success
has at last crowned their untiring energy
and soon there will be opened for their
use track that promises to be one of
the fastest in the west. Situated in the
only summer resort Topeka has, with
good car service, the future of the new
track is assured
Topeka riders, possessing as they do the
necessary abilities to become good, fast
riders, have been sorely handicapped by
not having the proper place to train. The
consequence is that our colors have been
many times lost behind the flag.
The new track has the following d.
mansions: Length, 6O9 feet; width of
stretch and turns, 40 feet; width of
back stretch, % feet; banks on each
turn, feet The track is nearly COM
pleted and will be opened for the riders in
few days. The first meet will be held
some time in August and will be at
night.
The following riders will represent To-
peka: c. c. Claudy, Web Stevenson,
