lMlNING MINaTES.

The water drift connecting the
Rust and Hull mines is now pra-
tically completed, the purpose
OF which is to handle the water
from both mines with one plant.
The Ohio has closed shipments
for the season, and the shovel
employed at that NINE during
the summer was or Monday
taken to Hibbing.
The new schedule of wages
adopted by the Minnesota Iron
company, taking effect October
1st, will doubtless have ten
dency to increase the wages of
men at other mines throughout
the Lake Superior district.
F. x. Pellier, formerly. chem
ist at the Biwabik, is now super
intendent of a line of silver pro
perties at Mercur, Idaho, re
signing the superintendency Of
the Shores property, on the Go
gebic, to accept of this new
position.
Supt. Trezona, of the Frank
lin, will resign his position with
that company about November
1st, to go to Ely, where he 'en
ters the employ of the Pioneer
company in the capacity of min
ing captain. It is not yet known
who may succeed him at the
Franklin group.
Estimates for the seasons pro.
duction of ore from the Mesaba
and. Vermilion ranges give the
probable shipments at half a
million tons more this season
than last, or about 100000
tons. This estimate allows for
about 100000 tons to be tor.
warded during the balance of
the season.
The well known Miller Brown
mining property described as
''Section s6" will hereafter be
known as the Savoy mine.
That name has been given the
property by the Diver Mining
company. The extension of: the
Iron Range road to the mine is
progressed to the extent that it
is ready for the steel.
The shipments Of iron ore from
Duluth and Two Harbors for THE
month Of September amounted to
III, 1859 gross tons, according toI
the custom house figures. OF
this amount, 386, $50 tons were
shipped from Duluth. ThatI
something of a lull in ore ship
ments is anticipated for the bal
ance of the season is indicated
by the reports of ore carriers
going in the grain trade to some |
extent. .. .y

S. L. Almond Swindled Various Firms
 in Georgia.

Atlanta, December 29.-A special to the Constitution from Covington, Ga, says:
 It develops that the shortage of s. l.. Almand, who left here a few days ago, will reach a sum variously estimated at be- tween s15 900 and $4O,OOO.
 It is said that his heaviest creditors are the Marietta Guano company, Atlanta; Baldwin Fertilizer company, Port Royal, s. G.; the Southern Pacific Guano company, Atlanta and the Gate City Oil company, Atlanta.
 He was manager here of the Gate City Oil company. He dealt heavily in cotton and cotton seed. He is said to owe farmers all over this and adjoining counties for cotton seed.
 His plan was to give each man a due bill on the Gate City Oil company's blanks, tell ing them that the company would deposit the money in the bank here in short while and redeem the due bills.

ARGUMENT IN THE
 BOTKIN TRIAL
Attorney McGowan Speaks in
 Defense of the Prisoner.
ATTACKED THE CITY POLICE
For Their Work Against Mrs. Botkin, and Arraigned the Prosecution for the Manner in Which the
 Case Was Conducted.

San Francisco, December 29.-The an- nouncement that today would probably be the last day for argument in the Botkin case attracted an immense crowd to Judge Cooks court room. Attorney Frank Me Gowan, for the defense, opened the proceed ings with scathing arragnment of the police and the methods of the prosecution He went over the case from beginning to end and said that the defense had not made a technical fight; that it had not bickered over the admission of evidence and had kept nothing back. '"'-5
 He attributed directly opposite methods to the prosecution. He said that were his client guilty, she would have attempted to hide everything hurtful to her case. He ad- monished the jury regarding crcumstantial evidence and hinted upon the dishonesty of prosecutors in many cases to secure con- viction on such evidence. McGowan at tackled Attorney General Whites argument. He accused the Delaware attorney of ap- pealing to the sympathy of the jury He said that MT. White had misrepresented, especially with regard to the arrival of the box of candy at the Delaware postoffice
 He said that its arrival had not been proven, and that an employe of the Dover postoffice might have placed the package in the bag as easily as not Referring to the anonymous letters, McGowan said they had not been traced to Mrs. Botkin, and that she had no reason for writing them. MT. McGowan said that no motive had been proven; that the contention of the prosecution that Mrs Botlxin was enam- pred of Cunning had not been proyen hy the facts in the case; in fact, the opposite held good.
 McGowan then entered into a bitter at- tack upon Dunning. In conclusion, MT. Me- Gowan declared that every point through out the case was shrouded in doubt, and he urged the jury not to bring in a verdict opposed to the facts adduced in the de- fense

semble there will be no mobs to lead.
 General John R. Brooke, the governor general of Cuba has directed that no out rages on the retiring spaniards will be al- lowed to occur and no Spanish stores will be sacked if the Americans can prevent 1t.
 This purpose, General Brooke has com municated to the prominent Cubansa in Havana. Last night a meeting of the pa- triotic committees was held and this mofn- ing deputation consisting of Dr. Juan Oaffaro, Frederico Mona, Angelo Cowley, Emilio Nupez and Alfredo Zayas, waited upon General Ludlow tot ask whether no portion of the programme might be carried out. General Nunez, act ing as the spokesman of the deputation, handed General Ludlow a written copy of a programme of six days festivities.
 General Ludlow. who was very polite to the deputation asked them to leave the programme with him, and promised to give the matter careful consideration. After the deputation had withdrawn he conferred with General Brooke, and it was decided that it would be wise to not allow any pub lie manifestations on the part of the Gu bans.
 Senor Perezeto La Coste. who presided al a meeting this evening, Is said to have ex- pressed his views in this wise:
 q am satisfied that the Americans do not understand us and their moral position is essentially weak. Instead of saying to us: Go ahead and have all the pleasure you want in an innocent way, and if you fight and destroy property expect to be punish ed,' they suppress the natural enthusiasm of our people, forbidding free assemblage, free speech in public and all other methods of expressing our delight at the advent of new conditions For years we have suffer ed only to see at this hour our emotions changed from pleasure at the departure of the Spaniards to apprehension at the ar- rival of the Americans"

FREE FIGHT AT
 ROSTER & BIAL'S Alabama Colonel Engages Gay Harvard Students. SLlGHTlNG REMARKS MADE Concerning Some Young Ladies in Ala bamian's Party and Was Quickly
 Resented by Chivalrous
 Southerner.
SLlGHTlNG REMARKS MADE

New York, December 29.-At Roster & Bials, free for all fight in which scores of persons were mixed up, occurred im- mediately after the curtain fell on An Affair of Honor."
 One box was occupied by Colonel weller, from Mobile, Ala, two young men and two young ladies, all in full dress. After the per- formance the young ladies in Colonel Well lers box came down stairs first. At the foot of the stairs were several men talking loudly and endeavoring to attract the atten- tion of the ladies.
 A cane was thrown beneath their feet and rude remarks were made. None in the Weller party cared to resent this until a remark, stinging in it's significance, brought the blood to the cheeks of the girls and drove it from Colonel Weler's florid face. In a moment there was fight in which it seemed 100 persons were engaged.
 The young ladies drove away while Colo nel Weller and his friends were the center of a yelling crowd. Walters engaged in the
  nally Colonel Weller was showed head fore- most through a large frame containing the picture of a famous French dancer Then came the police, who gathered up what was left of the combattants and took them to the police station in West Thirtieth street. The one man most responsible for the insults to the women semed to have escaped, and the only two captured were William Anderson, living at the Waldorff- Astoria, and H. J. Ripley, of Stamford Conn.
 John Roster Jr., who had insisted that they be arrested was asked what charge he wished to make. "The only thing I care for is that they must pay for the damage they did" he said. Shall discharge these two men?" asked the sergeant. "Yes, if they pay for what they did,"
 Colonel Weller, who stood by made no objection, and the young swels paid MT. Roster what he demanded and were dis charged while the big Southern Colonel, somewhat ruff1ed, started out to fin9 his scattered friends. Colonel Weller is said to be a Wall street broker, and the two young men who were arrested, are Har- ward students.
