ished at 1890 p. m, and at 2 o'clock
Mr.. Agee made the opening statement
for the defendants.
Joseph F. Davis, civil engineer for
the Union Pacific, exhibited a map,
which was placed in evidence, showing
the track as to grade, curves, etc,
where the accident occurred.
R. T. Hillyard, conductor on the pas
senger train, said that his train was
two minutes late at Peru, that the
speed of the train was u to % miles
an hour when the collision occurred,
which was 2:37 a. m. After the col
liSion he looked at his watch and
noticed the time in order to make a
report of the accident.
Engineer Murphy, who was pulling
the express, said that owing to the
curve, the head end of the boiler made
an obstruction, which prevented him
from seeing the caboose OF the freight
train more than So feet ahead, but he
thought that the fireman, who was on
the left and north side, could have
seen as far as Green River, however,
when the fireman, B. H. Baxter, was
placed on the stand, he testified that
he first saw the caboose from the side
window, at the distance of from one
to two car lengths ahead. There was
a red light on the caboose.
The last witness for the defense yes
terday afternoon was J. y. Johnson,
whose testimony was intended as an
impeachment of Robert n. Watson.
Witness said that in conversation with
him, Watson stated that he was sit
ting in the cupola of the caboose and
thought the headlight behind was that
of the helper, which would look out for
them.
Watson, in giving his testimony, de-
MED having made such a statement.
The trial was not concluded when
court adjourned until today.

The Johannesburg Mine.

For the past few months work has
been steadily pushed in the develop
ment of the Johannesburg on the west
shore of Utah lake, and G. F. Hicks,
the foreman Of the mine, who arrived
in the city yesterday, states that the
showing in this property is now more
encoura ging than at any time since
beginning work in its exploration.
The main shaft on the johannesburg
has been sunk to the 70-foot station
from which drift has been run on the
vein for a distance of 80 feet, in the
face of which there is a breast of ore
from u to IS inches in width in which
there are encouraging values, quite
heavy copper stains being visible, and
Mr. Hicks states that he is much en-
couraged over the indications of the
near presence of a large body of pay
ore.
The johannesburg company, of
which Captain Timothy Egan is presi-
dent and general manager. has a group
of Is claims on the west shore of Utah
lake and on the surface there are
magnificent bodies of ore, but of such
low grade as not to be of any account
as a milling proposition, but it is hoped
and believed that with depth the
metallic contents of the mineral will
increase.

A deal was consummated in this city
yesterday whereby the Columbia Min
ing company, operating on Lion hill, in
Ophir district. added valuable proper
ty to its already large holdings, being
nothing more than the sale of the Della
claim by Frank Hines to the Columbia
company. The Della adjoins the Co
lumbus patented claim, owned by the
Columbia company, on the north, and
the Northern Light group, on the
south, and its acquisition by the COM
pany not only gives added territory,
but squares up its holdings, which are
bounded on the east by the property
of the Chloride Point company.
Yesterday the Columbia company also
let d contract for the deepening of its
shaft on the Columbus claim to the
extent of 80 feet This shaft is already
down to a depth of $50 feet, and before
the completion of the present contract
it is expected that ii will break through

workings, and when this ore is I'M

Mention has already been made of
the very promising showing in the
drift from the bottom of the Rosa
shaft, embraced in the Columbia group,
recent work disclosing two feet of rich
chloride ore. which was a sight pleas

ton being that it will not be long now
before this property viii be able to
make a record as a regular shipper of

BACK FROM THE NORTHWEST
A. NJ. Grant Returns From Visit to
Montana and Oregon.

A. NJ. Grant, the resident agent of
the Colorado Ironworks company of
Denver. has returned from an extended
visit to the northwest, where he has
been in the interests of his company,
and he states that his trip was a sue
cessful and satisfactory. one in many
ways. his wanderingS taking him into
the mining camps of Montana, Oregon
and also over into British Columbia,
where he inquired into the progress
and development of the camps on the
Kootenai and along the SLOGAN.
Il want to say" said Mr.. Grant, in
telling a representative of The Herald
of his trip, that Spokane is a lively
place. with a large amount of mining
business transacted within its environ
ments, there being considerable excite
ment there at the present time over
the discoveries in the Colville Indian
reservation. near the British line, which
has just been thrown open to the miner
and prospector. 1t is here that the
noted Republic mines are located, and
shipments of ore from these new pro-
ducers. which have reached Spokane
recently, were sold on assays showing
the gold contents 20 run over $500 to the
ton. 1 do not mean to say that all of
the mineral from this new camp will
go this well, but most of the ore is high
in grade and the mines of that section
promise great things for the future.
THE KOotenai country is also look
ing WELL" continued Mr.. Grant, and
the mines of that region are all work.
ing and the shelters are running full
blast, and I cannot see what can keep
that country in the background in the
future; in fact, it has a bright and
rosy outlook.
Butte, Anaconda and Great Falls are
jogging along at the usual steady pace,

than most people are aware of.

Grant went on to say, lis up on the
Yakt river, in northwestern Montana,

great camps of the great northwest"

New York, May ia dispatch to the
World from London says: The Sun
day papers are curiously silent on Mr..
Chamberlain's remarkable pronounce
/ ment in favor of an Anglo-American
alliance. The Observer, the most IN
| fiuential, politically, of them, however,
applauds Mr.. Chamberlain's declara-
| ton on that point while referring the
accomplishment of his ideal TO some
remote contingency which has not yet
arisen. The Observer says:
1T is well understood in the United
| States that European Intervention is
not even discussed by the powers. just
now, because England will not tolerate
it. The real crux will come when the
terms of peace are drafted. Then, if
ever the anti-American league at
which Count Goluchowsh limited at
not long ago, will lift its head We
doubt the substance of any such ap-
partition, because the coercion of Amer
lea is too big a business for practical
politics, but the day that witnesses
any serious combination against either
the United States or Great Britain
ought also to witness their conso!ida-
ton into an anti-American alliance"
The World correspondent had a con-
yersatiOn with one of Mr.. Chamber
lains most trusted followers, to whom
Mr. Chamberlain had several weeks
since opened his mind on the subject
of an Anglo-American understanding,
as we'll as on the general foreign pol
icy of Great Britain. This politician
stated: chamberlain has been for the
past year convinced that Salisbury
foreign policy is steadily and inevitably
leading to the ruin of England's COM
mercial supremacy, and he is convinced
that it is vital to the continued com
mercial expansion both of England and
the United States, that they should
make common cause against European
combinations.
Besides that, he entertains strong
view that the French provocation in
West Africa should be accepted by Sal
isbury as a casus belli. England's su-
premacy on the sea would enable her,
in his view, to seriously cripple, if not
to destroy French naval expansion for
years, and he regards as England's
most imperative interest to weaken
France, so that Russia alone would
have to be dealt with in the far east.
''England's interests and those of
America are identical in that region,
and Chamberlain regards their combi-
nation as the first step towards a reali-
cation of the Angles Saxon alliance.
That is the underlying motive of his
speech, although it was made under
circumstances which give it the ap-
pearance of an attempt to Gust Lord
Salisbury from the foreign Office"

RUSSIAN OPINION

ST. Petersburg. May 1.-THE Novoe
Vremya, commenting upon the recent
speech at Birmingham of Joseph Cham
berlain, the British secretary OF the
colonies, says: I'VE doubt if the Unit
ed States desires an alliance, and ques-
ton whether it would be agreeable to
the other powers that the United
States, after wrestling the Philippines
from Spain, should afterwards sell
them to Great Britain"
The Novoe Vremya says that the
