have discovered the highest mountain III
North America.
The peak, which towers far above

more than 10000 feet The mountain
was named Bullshea, a name spoken in
exclamation by the Indian guide of the
party on first beholding the wonderful
peak.
The members of the party are reported
to have expressed the opinion that an
ascent of Bullshea would be almost impos-
sible, so steep are its sides.

The Spanish Proposals.

/
New York, Oct. ll.-Adyices from
Washington say:
Proposals for the cession of Puerto Rico
and Guam island to the United States
and providing for the independence OF
Cuba will be discussed by the peace COM
mission in Paris at its next session.
The protocols which were drawn up at
the last meeting OF the commission have
been the subject of consideration OF the
American commissioners for three days.
Secretary Day sent a cableg1am to the
state department Monday regarding the
work of the American commissioners, but
it was merely in character and SIMPLY
shows that Mr.. Day and his colleagues
have completed the features of the agree
ments which they are anxious the Span
ish commissioners shall adopt.
There is no truth in the reports from
Madrid that there has been hitch III ne
gotiations and that proceedings OF the
commission are not proceeding as salts
factorily as desired. As matter of fact,
in response to American demands, the
Spanish commissioners have submitted
counter demands, and one OF these sug-
gests the assumption by the United
States of the Cuban debt in return, it Is
said, for the annexation of Cuba by the
United States The Spaniards are anN-
ious that the Cuban debt shall be borne
by the Cubans with Il guarantee OF some
kind by this country.
From information which the authorl-
ties have received they say they have no
doubt that Spain will attempt to fasten
the Philippine debt upon the United
States and this would seem TO indicate
that Spain has in mind a proposition,
which may eventually be submitted to
this government, for the United States to
take all the Philippines, shoulder the
Philippine debt and give Spain important
advantages, commercial and otherwise,
in the eastern islands, If Spain has such
a proposition in view she may as well
know that it will be Il waste OF time for
her to present it.
This government will accept no debts,
nor will it guarantee the payment Of the
Cuban debt directly or indirectly. The
of the American commission
ers are positive on this point. 1t is eX-
pected that the matter of the Cuban debt
will come up for discussion at Tuesday
session, and the American commissioners
will notify the Spanish commission of the
opinion of the United States
on this point.

Big Idaho Strike.

Big Idaho Strike.
What is confidently claimed to be the
most important strike ever made i'll the
gold belt of the Occur d'Alenes was that
on the Crown Point recently. This claim
is situated at the head of one prong of
Trail gulch, on which some of the richest
pacers of the early days were found, "
ing partly on the Trail and partly on the
Pltchard creek side of the ridge, diyid
ing them. Rich ore has been found on
it for years, sometimes apparently in
place, but usually as float, and when
exploration has always proved them to
be merely fragments of the ledge broken
off.
Francis Jenkins, one of the owners, put
up his lO-stamp mill to work the Grown
Point and adjoining properties, but al
though he got some good ore out of a
small ledge, it was evident that it was
not the same ore for which he was look
ing,
In doing the assessment work this fall
the parties engaged to do the work were
given the privilege of doing the work
" herever they deemed it advisable, and
they started in to find the lead Their eff
forts were crowned with great success,
as they have shown it unquestionably in
place, at intervals of 400 feet. The ledge |
varies from 10 to IL feet in width show
ing free gold in generous quantities from
wall to wall wherever uncovered. A Mr. /
Linden of Portland owns the controlling /
and nothing can be learned re-
galding further work on the property.
