BIG REPUBLIC STRIKE.
Unprecedented in Mining History OF
Country-Excitement mt Fever Heat.

Country-Excitement mt Fever Heat.
Spokane, Nov. "A telephone mes
sage from Republic, on the north half
Of the Colville reservation. says the
miners in the Republic mine have now
crosscnt "a feet OF ore in the big ledge
on the 430-foot level. and the drills
are still in ore. The news of the strike
has spread to the surrounding mining
districts, and the excitement is intense.
Conservative mining men say that such
an ore chute with such values $500 per
tom is unprecedented in the mining
history Of the continent. The great
chute has now been proved for a depth
of 430 feet, and length of 400 feet.
1t is nowhere less than five feet wide,
and the width runs as high 25 feet.
Contrary to the general rule in gold
mining, the ledge is richest at its
widest points.
The mine is 80 miles from a rail.
road. and the ore is freighted that dis
lance over a mountain road and ship
ped to Puget sound smelter. In addi.
ton to these limited shipments. the
company is treating ore at its mill on
the ground with the electro-cyanide
process. Its RECEIPTS from ore ship
ments and mill runs are averaging
$4,000 per day. and these will be
greatly increased when the machinery
is installed for the enlarged mill.
Enough ore is now blocked out to keep
the mill running for several years.
Other big mines in the camp are the
Mountain Lion, owned chiefly in Port
land; the San Poll and the Jim Blaine,
owned in Spokane.
Buying orders for Republic stocks
were telegfaphed today from many OF
the surrounding towns. 1t is hard to
quote prices on the Republic stock.
Before the recent big strike it was
selling freely at 20 per share, but now
there is not share in sight, and hold.
ers are talking $s per share.
In running the tunnel which has
just tapped the ledge in the lower
workings the miners have broken all
records. They cut 400 feet in 80 days.
The country rock is porphyry.

That Lo Is Progressing Backward.
Washington, Nov. "A majority OF
the annual reports OF Indian agents to
the commissioners of Indian affairs are
of an encouraging nature, and indicate
progress generally along civilized lines.
Some OF the reports, however, are not
so gratifying, and make some suTpris.
ing statements. Unusual in an annual
report is the following arraignment in
the report of E. M. Yerian. in charge
OF the Lemhi Indians in Idaho. He
says:
They are addicted to gam bling,
hOrse-racing and dancing, and the in
fluence of the so-called medicine man
operates to the disadvantage of the
tribe. Their real advancement has not

70 Be OURS
A Settled Fact That the Is
lands Will Be Taken.
NOT ONE BUT ALL OF THEM
Debt May De Assumed-rf Spain Re-
fuses, HostiiIties VIII be Resumed
and We win Seize tho Archipelago.

Paris, Nov. 1.-While the Spanish
and American peace commissioners
now stand on the threshold of the
Philippine question, it seems probable,
In the light Of this hour. that the
United States will take over the en-.
tire archipelago.
During the foui days just passed,
those in touch with, though possibly
not in the confidence OF the commits
sioners have felt the concentration Of
tendencies toward the standpoint in.
Dictated as likely to be occupied by tho
United States commissioners at Tues
days session Of the two commissions.
In 1897 Spain issued, by royal decree,
bonds in the sum of $40, 900, 900, to
which were pledged the revenues of the,
Philippines, and to which the Spanish
national guarantee was added. From
these $40, 900, 600 of obligations, Spain
realized $50, 100000 in cash. These
$40. 100000 represent the Philippine
debt, which is entirely outside OF the
$500, 900, 900 Of the so-called Philippine
and Spanish debt.
The conditions also differ, the Philip
pine debt having been created by royal
decree because the archipelago was NOS
parliamentary colony, while the So
called Cuban debt was created by law.
The difference raises the question Of
the non-responsibility OF the Philip
pines when removed from the sovereign
ty under which its resources we're
pledged.
Should the United States absorb the
Philippines, none but officials yet know
whether they will assume part or all
of this debt, or more than the Philip
pine debt. The Americans have de-
clined to assume the Cuban debt be-
cause Cuba is not theirs; but in depos-
ing Spain in the Philippines, the Amer
loans acquire the territory, and it is
believed there will be some financial
assumption by the United States.
At this point arises the question Of
how much financial relief might COM
pensate Spain for her loss of the Phil
ippines. Some well-informed persons
believe that Premier Sagasta has deter.
mined to be rid of the PHILIPPINES, and
would direct his commi ssion to sign
treaty by which the United States
should take the islands and assume
$40, 900, 900 of debt. This proposition
finds support In the Partisan press,
which today declares that resistance is
impossible, and that Spain should
abandon the archipelago.
