WHAT sAGAsTA WANTS.

London, August 3. The Gibraltar cor
respondent of the Daily News, telegraph
ing Monday night, says
"The censorship is daily becoming more
severe, and little is known beyond the
fact that peace is assured. 1t is under
stood that the note from America asks
only part of the Philippines, and that
Senior Sagasta having replied that the
terms will be accepted, hostifties are con-
sequently suspended.
ga commission will be appointed to de-
termine the basis of peace. The chief
difficulty, it is asserted in official circles, is
as to the date and manner of the evacua-
ton of the Spanish possessions.
There is also the question of the dispo-
sal of the war material in Cuba. Senor
Sagasta, if he has a chance, will probably
represent restitution of the material as a
diplomatic victory. 1t has just been as
serted here that the Premier has succeed
ed in obtaining slightly improved terms
The treaty will not be signed before Sep
tember."
The Rome correspondent of the Daily
Chronicle says Spain it is asserted here
has accepted the American terms With
u1importation reservations and the peace
preliminaries will be signed before Sat
r"day.

New York, August "A special cable

Washington, Aug, 2.-Although this
was the third day since the President de-
livered to NJ. Cambon the terms offered
by the United States to Spain as basis of
peace, no answer came from Madrid, and
in fact was scarcely expected.
The press reports of the long cabinet
meetings held in the Spanish capital yes
terday indicated that the Spanish cabinet
was unprepared at least to accept the
terms offered at once and without appear
ing to attempt to secure isome modihca-
ton in the interest of Spain. 1t is felt
that such a course is absolutely imposed
upon the Sagasta ministry by the existing
conditions in Madrid. Nevertheless, it is
not to be seen that the President cherishes
the slightest intention Of consenting to
any essential modification of the condi-
tions, and the slight delay that hes occur
red in making answer is not believed to be
discouraging, nor to be taken as sign of
the purpose of the Spanish cabinet ulti-
mately to reject the proposition.
When the doors of the State Depart
,ment closed this afternoon it was realized
&hat owing to the difference Of time be-
tween Washington and Madrid, there WIS
little chance of receiving the expected an
swer before tomorrow; and, indeed, should
it come tonight, the French ambassador
would not be able to deliver it, because the
time required for its transmission would
make the hour too late and the announce
ment could not be made until tomorrow.
AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT.
The following is the official statement
given out by authority of the President at
the State Department as to the terms OF
peace offered by the United States:
''In order to remove any misapprehen-
sion in regard to the negotiations as to
peace between the United States and
Spain, it is deemed proper to say that the
terms offered by the Uniten States to
Spain in tine note handed 10, the French
ambassador on Satr day last are in sub
stance cs follows:
"The President does not now put for
ward any claim for pecuniary indemnity,
but requires the relinquishmenr of all
claim of sovereignty over or title to the
island of Cuba, as well as the immediate
evacuation by Spain Of the island; the ces-
rion to the United States and immediate
evacuation of Porto Rico and islands under
Spanish sovereignty in the West Indies;
and the like cession of an island in the
Ladrones. The United States will occupy
and hold the city, bay and harbor of Ma
Mia pending the conclusion of treaty Of
peace, Which shall determine and control,
disposition and government of the Philip
pines. If these terms are accepted by
Spain in their entirety, it is stated that
commissioners viii be named by the Unit
ed States to meet commissioners on the
part of Spain for the purpose Of conclud-
ing treaty of peace on the basis above
Indicated"

Companies Being Incorporated For
Their Development.

The Mercur Mercury says: E. S.
Catch of Boston. Mass, is in the city
completing the organization of the
companies in which Des Moines, Ia,
and Boston parties are interested. Their
properties are located in Skull Valley
and were discovered by Uncle" Sam
Jones, who retains a large interest in
the companies. 1t is the intention of
the parties interested TO commence de-
velopment work at once. The ores are
similar to the Mercur district ores and
some very good assays have been OBJ
tanned.
A big strike was made in the Cannon
mine Friday, and the whole camp is
rejoicing, not only because the opera
ton of another big mine and mill will
add to the prosperity of the district,
but because the company richly de-
serves the success by continued effort,
unwavering faith and the expenditure
of large sums of money.
The ore body in the mill tunnel at
the Geyser-Marion has constantly in
creased in size until it is now 81 feet
between walls. The ore averages from
1925 to $3.50 per ton. The tunnel is
furnishing 80 tons of ore daily to the
mill.
Mining men who recently inspected
the Lulu tunnel of the Mercur mine,
say there is more ore thrown in sight
thereby than has been extracted from
all the Mercur workings.

Source of Placer Gold.

Mining operations at Hopewell, N.
NJ, says the Denver Republican, are
being vigorously pushed in the effort
to find the source of the placer gold
which has for the past 10 or 10 years
yielded such rich returns. The gold in
this field is found in a granite schist,
which is capped by marine conglom-
crate of undetermined depth. a crater
in the vicinity has been cut away on
the east side by a glacial flow, to which
was due the placer deposits lower down.
and an effort is now making by the
Crater Mining, Milling & Reduction
company to pierce the crater wall at
a point which will reach the auriferOus
schists known to exist in the crater
below the super-imposed lake drift and
gravel. The tunnel is now in nearly
200 feet, and it is believed that the
crater wall will be reached within
short distance further and a strong
deposit of gold bearing schist reached.
On the side of the mountain from
which the tunnel approaches coarse
gold and nuggets ranging up to
96 penny-weights have been found,
which must have come from the crater.

It begins to look as if wonders would
never cease in the great gold camp Of
Mercur, and it is more than likely that
st will take years Of work and ceVel-
opnent before the extent of the min
eralization of the camp is fully known.
A few years ago it was believed that
the ore dispositions of the district We're
confined to one vein or zone. More
recently, however, ii has been demon
strated that there were several belts or
blanket veins of gold bearing rock, two,
and even three being disclosed within
the past IS months, both in the Mer-
cur, the Sacramento and the Geyser-
Marion properties.
During the past week. however. it
has become apparent that there are
four distinct veins, the recent discovery
having been made in the Sacramento
mine, according to Manager G. r. Both
well, who has just returned from the
property, and who states that about $50
feet above the mill tunnel, in what was
considered as being the hanging wall of
the vein, an upraise has disclosed a %
foot breast of oxidized ore which will
carry average gold values of SO in
gold to the ton, this deposit being sepa-
rated from the ore zone below by n thin
layer of pOrphyry, the new discovery
being without doubt, an Independent
vein, the finding of which adds i'm
measurably to the value of this mag
nificent property, in which. it is stated,
there is as much ore blocked out and
exposed as there is in the Mercur mine,
adjoining.
Other portions of the mine are look
ing equally as good and just before Mr.
BothwelPs return to this city the mill
tunnel broke into the lower vein, the
average of the ore showing gold values
of IS TO the ton, the indications being
that when the belt is more exposed the
mineral will run as high as SIS to the
ton, at the least.
When connection is made by this tun-
mel with the upper workings the ore
from the mine will be conducted by
gravity to the mill, which will make
quite a saving in operating expenses.
The mill is treating from so to 80 tons
of oxidized ore daily and satisfactory
extraction is being recorded.
Mr.. Boutwell, states that the Golden
Gate is now hosting ore and that the
crusherS are in operation.

tale is found in the workings, and it is
probable that a small rooster will be
put in when the mill is erected. All the
machinery from the old Buckhorn is
now on the ground, and there is nearly
everything needed for the mill, with the
exception of tanks. 1t is probable that
work on the erection Of mill will soon
commence.

THE CRESCENT FORECLOSURE.
Concentrator Was Redeemed, But
the Balance Changes Hands.

Park City, Utah. March To-day
ended the period of redemption of the
Crescent property. which was sold Sept.
4 under foreclosure of mortgage held
by the Wasatch Mining company and
bid in for $4,000 by II. G.. Mcmillan
and D. c. Mclaughlin, as trustees for
the mortgage. The concentration was
redeemed by l. NJ. Herkimer, success
sor in interest of the Crescent Mining
company. The tramway and Crescent
ground covered by the mortgage were
not redeemed and therefore become the
property of the Wasatch company.
This mortgage was given in 1856. for
$i2, 500, and the balance of the SIS, coo
accrued from interest and costs. The
Crescent company, which originally
owned the Rebellion, Climax and Pin
ion claims, bought the Jennings inter-
est IN the claims belonging to the Wa
satch company, giving the Wasatch a
mortgage on the entire property for the
purchase price. The question of owner
ship of the Jennings ground was in
litigation for many years, and the
courts finally decided in favor of the
Wasatch company. All the Crescent
ground not covered by the mortgage
was purchased last November by 1. NJ.
Herkimer, of Illinois.
When asked as to the future plans in
operating the property, Mr.. McLaugh-
lin stated that he was unable to give
any information. The Wasatch and
Herkimer interests are closely related,
and there will probably be unity in the
plan of work.
