Reed and the Administration is almost in
evitable soon after the reassembling of

as fact that unless the Autocrat from

Senator Foraker, of Ohio, and Senator
Morgan, of Alabama, were both in town
yesterday and each one expressed the
opinion that an extra session of the Fifty
sixth Congress in the Spring was inevi-
table. Neither one believes that it will
be possible for Congress at the coming
short session to dispose of the important
matters that would come up this Winter
They are both expansionists, and will
support the Administration on those lines
The assurance that there will be no ma
terial revision of the war revenue bill this
Winter renders it certain that the Gov
ernment will have an unusually large
| amount of cash to expend during the next

attempt will be made to pass during the

A. Clark Of Montana took the property and after sinking to 300 fest he had ninety-five feet of solid ere, and at 800 feet it is reported the ore body is 400 feet wide. Clark has refused $35, 5,000,- 900 for his mine.
 A mining deal has been eonsummat- ed whereby E. B. Gage and others be- come the owners of the McNary prop erty in Copper basin, says the Journal Miner. The claims are pretty well opened up and show a fine body of ore. A larger force will be placed at work immediately and development work will be pushed on the property. There is large percentage of the ere which goes S100 and mora per ton, which is shipped to Fl Paso for. treatment. The second class ore is saved on the dump to be worked later by a mill which will be eventually placed on the prop erty J. w Brown will have charge of the mine and expects to have a big camp there within the next few months.

NUGGETS FROM THE HILLS.

Prof. R. A. F. PenroSe is now mak- ing a visit to Cripple Creek. He has recently been making some mining in vestigations near Hailey, Idaho.
 The Fortuna mine at 150 feet was bought by Charles Lane for $40, 900; now at a depth of 600 feet you could not buy it for s3,000000.
 The Pearce mine was sold for $275,- GOO when a depth of 100 feet had been reached; it is now producing s75,00C monthly and is not for sale, S2,000,000 having been refused.
 The new proprietors of the Little Jessie mine are putting the property in first class condition and increasing their force as rapidly as men can be handled advantageously.
 The famous Copper Queen mine at Bisbee at one time was about to be sold for debt. Now, at 800 fest it has sufficient ore iii sight to run fifty years and money cannot buy it.
 The Crowned King mine was s23, ,0OC in debt when down 165 feet. Now at a depth of 800 feet, debts all paid and regular dividends declared, it cannot be purchased for less than s1, ,000, 900. J. W. Smith, who was in Prescott from Stanton and the Rich Hill coun- try recently, says that mining there is quite active. There are about one hundred men engaged in placer mining at Weaver and $50 gold nugget was discovered there recently by a Mexi- can.

A RUNAWAY PIECE OF ICE.
A Race Between an Iceman and His
 Ice Down the Ninth Street Hill.

An iceman was carrying a chunk ci ice into the Ninth street entrance of the Keith 6 Perry building on the cor Ter of Walnut street. He was ten feet from the top Cf the hill when a corner broke from the chunk, the ice slipped from the tongs-and then the fun began. The piece Of ice was in- tended for fifty pounds, but probably weighed forty. At all events it was the liveliast piece of ice in town at thaI moment
 As soon as the chunk struck the smooth stone sidewalk it followed the venerable and exact principle of gravi- tation--it started towards the Junction The sidewalk was smooth-every one knows how smooth a piece of ice is The hill is pitchsd at an angle of 45 degrees.
 When the piece of ice struck the side walk and began to move i5 seemed ta know that it had at last met it's des: tiny. which was to reach the bottom of the hill in the shortest possible time AS ft-fed down the hill, pursued by the iceman, vainly endeavoring to catch 1t or beat it back with his. tongs,- ii had many advertures. Several peoEle were plodding slowly toward Walnut street.

as sulphate passes into solution. Some Of the silver goes over with the lead, but most of 1t stays in the slag. The lead compounds are put back into the furnace and the resulting mixture O. slag and lead compounds is run off, af- terwards to be treated as an ordinary lead ore. The zinc solution may be treated in any desired way. but Eller- hausen prefers to treat it with sulphide Of soda, thus forming white sulphide of zinc, which can be treated for the metal in the usual way. This treat ment with sulphide of soda and it's sub sequent recovery is described i'll Lunge's book on ''Alkali Manufacture. :" The whole point of the process is the separation Of the zinc and lead fumes by solution. The lead compounds of a previous charge are added to the slag, as the compounds have to be dried. The furnaces on working scale are near completion, and when practical results are obtained with them large public company is to be foated.

SPEAKING TUBES IN MINES.
Interesting Experiments Made in Ger
 many By Scientists.

Experiments have been conducted lately in several German colllerles With pipes for determining the conditions necessary to secure efficient speaking tubes and also for fixing the limits of distance through which verbal com- munication can be made, not only be- tween two points, but also between, sev- eral points simultaneously, says the Mining Register. The greatest dis tance through which a strong voice will carry distinctly through a straight tube without any branches, and in the absence of disturbing noises, is a lit tie more than 450 meters. There is a certain relation between the length of the tube and it's inside diameter, one of thirty millimeters being suitable for a simple tube up to 200 meters in length, but above this the diameter must be increased to ifty-two millime- ters. Tubes of much more than this in diameter CT less than twenty milli- meters are not to be recommended, and the larger the diameter the stronger must be the voice and the clearer the articulation, words rich in vowels be- ing transmitted more readily and long vowels being distinguished more cas- fly than short ones. Zinc is the best metal for the speaking tube, owing to it's slight elasticity, but for signals transmitted by knocks iron covered with zinc is preferable 4 socket joint is best, because the tow used in collar joints must necessarily project into the tubes, thus causing revGrbera,ion. The inside of the tubes should be as smooth as possible. Changes of diameter should be gradual, aid sharp curves should be avoided. Tubes for speak ing should bear upon masonry for di- minishing vibration, while if they have to serve for transmitting knocks they should be hung freely, and the latter method is best for signalling to a long distance, a whistle not carrying far.

 The iceman was an active young fel- i low, but the ice had the advantage Of being slippery. The iceman may have been slippery also, but not on the side walk He couldn't catch the chunk of ice.
 The ice jumped the alley, but lost time. The iceman almost caught it as the top of the next stretch of sidewalk. But the ice got away again. A brave person tried to head it off and got knocked off his feet for his pains. His course of the descending piece of ice, because, when it approached the bot tom of the hill it was directed toward the north.
 The iceman had not abated his eff forts, however, and followed the ice persistently, trying to grasp it with his tongs and with his hands; he even tried to kick it through a bank win dew to save. it
 Every one stopped to watch the race between the iceman and the ice. The feeling was divided between them. The iceman had kereditarily many enemies, and there were many expressions of hope that the chunk of ice would get to the bottom first
 The ace was almost run. The ice man was badly winded. The chunk Of ice was headed for the hydrant on the corner Its nomentum was terrible to see People who had laughingly watched it's progress got hastily out or the way

A New Method of Treating Zinc-Lead
 Ores is Described.

The Ellerhausen process for treating zinc-lead ores is described as follows: The sulphides Of zinc and lead are roasted at a white heat in reverbera
 tory furnace, with oxide of iron and lime and small coal The lead and zinc come off as fumes and the sulphurous acid comes off as well. These mixed gases and fumes are induced through water by fan. The lead is condensed as oxide and sulphate, while the zinc
