Queen Group of Mines Likely to Re-
main Idle.
Marquette, Mich, June 22.-The lease
of the South Buffalo mine has been
pany and Mrs. Mary Breitung Kauf-
man Of Marquette, the joint owners Of
the fee. The South Buffalo is one of
the Queen group of mines the leases of
which are held by Corrigan. Mckinney
& Co. of Cleveland. The leases of the
five mines in the group are uniform and
call for a 40 cent royalty on every ton
Of ore mined. AS the product is entire
ly non essemer, such a royalty Is
too high to be paid and allow any prof
1t for the operators. During 1897 the
royalty was reduced to 221a cents per
ton. by stipulation. for the season.
This year, owing to a quarrel between
the fee owners and the municipal au-
thorities at Negaunee. the owners of
the ground refused TO concede anything
from the terms of the leases. and de-
manded their full pound Of flesh. AS
1t was manifestly impossible to work
the mines and pay 40 cents royalty up
on every ton of product, the Queen
group is still idle and will probably re-
main so for the season, or until some
arrangement is made by which the
mines can be worked without entailing
an actual loss upon every ton of ore
taken from the ground.

To Mrs. Benjamin Guerra, wife o.

How much of burden this is may bt

The vice president of the Daughters
of Cuba is Mrs. Laura de Zayas Bazan,
one Of the most popular young matrons
in the Cuban colony of New York. Tc
her natural grace and beauty she adds q
charm of manner which wins more help
for the Cuban cause than many battles.
Though born in Cuba and retaining all
her loyalty to her native land, Mrs. Ba-
IAN is thoroughly French, having spent
most of her life in Paris. In fact, the
little lady is baroness, having been
left widow before she was out Of her
teens by the Baron de Chamboulon,
whose grandfather was private secretary
to Napoleon l.
That was the romance Of her girlhood,
but since coming to America she has
conferred all her interests and affections
in aid of the cause espoused by her Gu
ban husband DIR. u. de Bazan: There
is no more earnest worker in the colony
than she, as is evinced by the fact that
while holding the Office Of vice presi-
dent of the Daughters of Cuba she
also works with another group of dis
tinguished Cuban women as the presi-
dent of the Patria club.
Mrs Bazan was born in Matanzas,
which Americans will long remember
as the seat of the first battle of the war
of 1898. Her great-grandmothe was
known as the richest woman i'm Matan-
zas but that was before the war of
1868, when patriots lost everything

for so long, and Miss Frances Molina,
who was herself taken prisoner with

to Michigan People.
Grand Rapids, Mich, June 22.-The
outlook indicates harmonious fusion be-
tween the Democrats, Silver Republic
ans and Peoples party state conven-
tions in session today, though there may
be some strife over a proposition to
drop the name-Democratic- Unions Sill
ver-People's party-used two years ago,
and call the ticket simply Democratic.
A large number of delegates has arrived
and their preferences show that ex-
Representative Justin r. Whiting is
likely to be the nominee for governor.
and that Daniel ]. Campau, of De-
troit, will be made chairman of the
state central committee.
The Democrats will insist upon NAM
ing the head of the ticket and also upon
constructing the platform TO suit them
selves, with assistance or suggestions
from the allies. The platform is the SUBJ
ject most discussed among the dele
gates. Some believe that Endorsement
Of the Chicago platform and free silver
money Democrats shall be unable to
take offense at 1t, while others are of
the opinion that the resolutions should
contain an unequivocal Endorsement of
Bryan and the white metal. Still 9TH
ers, and among the number many prom
inent leaders of the Democratic party,
favor eliminating the financial issue en-
tirely and combining the platform to
state issues.
The middle of-the-road Populists, who
have determined to put up a vigorous
opposition to the Republicans and flu
sion forces, held their state convention
yesterday. The platform adopted con-
tains over 1000 words. 1t denounces
fusion as dishonest and deadly to polit-
ical parties and principles: demands the
abolition of national banks; declares
against the issue of government bonds
for any purpose whatever, and favors
the initiative and referendum. A full
state ticket was nominated, as follows:
Governor, Sullivan Cook, of Hartford;
lieutenant governor Austin S. Ran
dali, of Baldwin; secretary of state,
Jonah NJ. Burroughs, of Jackson; treas
urer, Robert Blenhuber, of Marquette;
auditor general, Archie Malone, of Sagi-
nav; attorney general, S. G. Houghton,
Of Bay City; land commissioner, j. H.
Baker, Of Bay county; superintendent Of
public instruction, Orlando Branch, Of
cambridge; member of state board Of
education, Myron o, Graves, of Petos-
key.
There were less than forty men in the
convention.

sympsthies of Americans and Care For
Needy Refugees.
Had it not been for the Cuban women
the Cuban revolution would have been
crushed out long before Uncle Sam de-
cided to take hand. They have worked
so quietly albeit so earnestly, that the
world at large has heard and seen little
of them, yet through their efforts the
rebellion has been kept alive and vigor-
GUS.
Had it not been for these women the
Cuban soldiers would have been with
out ammunition long before the Amer
lean government was ready to step in
and supply it. Uncle Sans help is a
great burden off their shoulders, for as
Mrs. Bazan, the charming little presi-
dent of the Patria club, remarked
1--WE do not have to furnish arms any
longer, because the United States gov
eminent is attending to that, but we
still have to help the poor, fugitive re-
concentrates who have come to this
country destitute of everything but lib
erty.'
The Cuban officials feel that their i'm
portance so keenly that they have sent
delegations requesting the clubs not to
disband during the summer, as their
help is needed.
When it is remembered that in other
cities throughout the country there are
similar organizations, all working for
the same end, the Liberation of their
countrymen, something Of the extent Of
the American Cuban woman S influence
may be understood.
The oldest and perhaps the most in
fuential of these clubs is that which
calls itself "Hijas de Cuba" or, in Eng
lish, Daughters of Cuba. Mrs. Que
sada, the president, is the wife of Con-
zales de Quesada, a Cuban lawyer,
whose name has become inseparable
from the Cuban revolutionary history.
Mrs Quesada is a perfect type of the
gracious and beautiful Cuban aristocrat
She has charming home in one Of the
finest sections of New York, and here
the club holds many of it's meetings
Her mother, Mrs. Ramon Miranda, was
also a very active member Of the club
until her recent death, for which Mrs
Quesada is now in mourning

secretary, is the only unmarried officer
