The Rich Ore Looks Cheap.

The reason assigned by mine owners
for not exhibiting a representative lot of
specimens of the ores of Republic camp
at the Spokane fruit fair is that the rich
est ore in the camp so closely resembles
white porphyry that it would cut sorry
figure beside the ores of other districts
which show their real value to the naked
eye. The Bryan & Sewall and Copper
Mountain are the exceptions to this rule.
The construction of dam at the
mouth of Copper Mountain lake is nearly
completed. This will make the lake
nearly three fourths of mile long and
about a quarter of mile wide. There
will now be no shortage of water to OPP
crate the plant of the Republic Mining
company, no matter how extensive it
may be in future.

William NJ. Shaw last week filed with
the county auditor a notice of the loca-
uon OF a placer claim on the second ad-
dition to Railroad addition to the city
of Spokane The claim is for 20 acres,
which is said to bear a valuable deposit
of fire clay. The name of the claim is
Lincoln. The land covered by the loca-
ton is otherwise described as the south
half of southeast quarter of the north
east quarter Of section 10, township %,
range 43.
Mr. Shaw said the location was made
to protect his property interests in the
tract of land covered by it. He has no
intention of interfering in any way with
the rights of other property owners there.
In view of the fact that other locations
have been made recently and that liti-
cation is in progress to establish title to
land within the city limits supposed to
contain valuable clay, he was advised by
his attorney that a safe plan would be
TO locate this land, which is why the Lin
coin is added to the list of Spokane coun-
ty mining properties.

A Pump for HeIena-FriscO.

The Helena-Frisco, at Gem, Idaho, is
to have a new pump, which will handle
all the water draining into the mine,
raising it 1000 feet at one lift At pres
ent the mine is worked through a tunnel
at the level of the mill ore bins, which
runs into the mountain to where it is
600 feet below the upper workings of the
mine. There a station was built and a
shaft sunk. 1t is now down 1000 feet
from the tunnel level, making the 900
foot level of the mine. A station is now
being cut at the bottom of the shaft,
where, as soon as it is completed, the
new pump will be located. Any one but
a miner or an engineer of wide experience
would stand appalled, at the contempll-
ton of such a thing as putting this piece
of machinery 1000 feet down into the
bowels of the earth and then supplying
it with power sufficient to operate it.
Even the pipe to carry the water will
have to be very heavy to stand the strain
of column of water 1000 feet high.

Spanish position as to the surrender OF
Cuba
"Once and for all let it be understood
that the erroneous impressions as to
Spains relinquishment of the island OF
Cuba are false and are calculated to in
spire false hopes and embarrass inteli-
gent action. The government of Spain
has never entertained the thought, and
never will entertain it, of evacuating
Cuba. At no time has there been con-
sideration of any step withdrawing the
sovereignty of Spain over her
West Indian colonies. The hon
or and dignity of Spain revolt
at the suggestion of the independence
of Cuba, which would alike reduce that
island to the misery of irresponsible rule,
and at the same time terminate a Spanish
authority irreparably bound up with the
prosperity of the island. For t Is and
other reasons the reports that Spain is
slowly yielding to a retirement from Gu
ba are both mischievous and groundless-
No rulers, no statesmen, no Cortes OF
Spain would ever consider such humilia-
ton. But in the face of it Spain, always
desirous of peace and ready by every
honorable means to secure peace, will
stand resolutely in defence of her inalien-
able right, her sovereignty and her hon
or. And she feels confident she has with
her the moral support of the entire civil
lied world"

CABINET MEETS.


WASHINGTON, April Is, 1898 S-The Cab
met meeting today was devoted to a gem
eral discussion of the Cuban situation,
but without anything of importance re-
sulting therefrom. The Government has
received no intimation of the preparation
of any note on the part of the powers,
and embers of the Cabinet do not think
the effort obviously making by Spain to
concentrate the powers in her favor will
result in their agreeing on any particular
line of action. The present position of the
Administration is that of awaiting Con-
gressional action without attempting to
influence it or postpone its decision. The
President, it can be stated is not at all
likely to veto any resolution that Con-
gress may adopt on the Cuban question.
The Administration does not believe Con-
gress will pass a resolution for the recog-
milton of independence of the insurgents,
but if it should a veto of it would be very
improbable 1t Is said, however, that the
President Nigh regard it as an encroach-
ment on his prerogative, the Constitution
clearly making it the duty of the Execu-
tive to recognize the independence of the
nation At the same time the Cabinet has
not discussed the course to be pursued in
the event of Congressional declaration
for independence.

GIVES It Up

TBy Cable to The Associated Press.]
LONDON, April 10, 1sss.-The Austrian
Ambassador admits he has given up hope
of Europe preventing war.
The officials of the British Foreign
Office today, when questioned on the sub
ject, refused to make statement on the
hypothetical case, as to whether Great
Britain would join in a naval demonstra-
ton in behalf OF Spain. But they added
that they did not believe such demon
stration will be attempted.
A representative Of The Associated
Press, however. learns from the Am
,bassador here of continental power, that
no such demonstration is contemplated,
though it might be mooted by some de-
spairing friend of Spain" Tse added
'Such movement could not succeed,
if attempted. in view of Great Britain s
fiat refusal to join in any demonstration
or step with the view of putting pressure
upon the United States. If the Continen-
tai Powers attempted it, Great Britain
would probably openly endorse the United
States certain snub to Europe. The Aus
trian Ambassador openly says he has
given up any hope of Europe preventing
war"

SAGASTA HOVLS.
Says the Imputation That Spain
Blew Up the Maine Is an
Infamous Calumny.
IBy Gable to The Associated Pr

IBy Cable to The Associated Press.]
LONDON. April Is. 1SsS.-Senor Sagasta,
the Spanish Premier. is quoted in spe-
ciaf despatch from Madrid as saying, with
reference to the destruction of the Maine
having been caused through Spanish
agency
This infamous calumny merits the rep
rotation of the whole world. All the ma
tions know the true cause of the disas-
ter and many American officials know it,
too. For the American Government to
base plea of Intervention upon heart
less calumny of this character Is to rebel
against reason and justice. For this rea-
son it is impossible for US to refrain from
protesting formally to the Powers against
the imputation."
A special despatch from Rome, refer
ring to the rumors of a proposition to
make an international naval demonstra-
tion off the Island of Cuba, says Austria
is taking the lead in the matter; but it
is understood that Great Britain and
Germany are not favorable to the sug-
gestion.
The Spanish Ambassador made long
visit to the British Foreign Office today,
and later, the Austrian Ambassador call
ed.
Hiram Maxim, the American inventor
of rapid-fire guns, says he thinks the war
will be terribly one-sided and that the re-
suit is foregone conclusion. He adds
Amy superiority which the Spaniards
have in the number of ships is over
whelmingly counterbalanced by the
greater strength. equipment and speed
of the American warships. Spain has no
resources in the way of production OF
steel or the building of ships, while Am
erica's resources are thoroughly ade-
quate. z
A special despatch from Madrid, pub
lished this afternoon, says:-.'The note
to the Powers will review the whole Gu
ban question, pointing out that all the
trouble with the United States arises
through the clamor of the sugar manu-
faeturers, who; it is claimed, fonaented
and organized the entire revolt. Atten-
ton viii be recalled to the alleged un-
molested American filibusterings, and it
will be asserted that the chief inslr-
gent leaders are not Cubans, but adven-
turers of all nationalities, whose sole pur-
pose is plumber and robbery.
..The concessions made by Spain will be
enumerated and the note will point out
that while Spain has done everything
possible to pacify the island, the Con-
suls of the United States, it will be al
legged, have constituted themselves insur-
gent agents, and the statement will be
made that when autonomy promised the
desired result an American squadron was
sent to Cuba to encourage the insurgents
to hold out.
s"These contentious, it is added, will be
supported by documentary evidence,
which, it is alleged, will prove the bad
faith displayed throughout by the United
States towards Spain
The note to the Powers will conclude
with declaring that Spain, having ex-
hausted every means of peace, is ''reluc-
family compelled to prepare for war and
to fight for the maintenance of it's
rights and honor"

Former Police Commfssio o ner Davis
Replies to Its Malicious Attack.

The Evening Journal yesterday made
a blackguardly attack upon Justice of
the Peace James N. Davis, on the
gratuitous assumption that Mayor Hoes
would probably decide upon him as a
compromise candidate for Police Commits
sioner. Mr.. Davis was asked by re-
porter for 'The News" this morning,
what he had to say about the malicious
attack. He said he pleaded guilty, as one
of five Democratic Police Commission
ers, who in the heat of a political cam
paign, feared that the Police Depart
ment might be used by the Republican
party, to stripping Chief of Police Murphy
of some of his powers.
81 was President of the Police Board
in 1SS7-S,'' he said 1.-THE Board then was
composed of five Democratic members
and one Republican. We were elected
by the people. The Democratic members
were Edward O'Donnell, Elias P. Roberts,
Thomas Nugent, now a police captain;
James E. Kelly and myself. The Repub-
lican was a Mr.. Finner. The Board feared
that the department would be used by
Chief Murphy to further the interests of
the Republican party in an election. The
FIVE Democratic members voted to place
the power of instructing the Chief. cap
tains and other officers in the hands of
the President of the Board.
Il was simply carrying out the wishes
of the Board. As to the alleged war
rants which the Journal claims Chief
Murphy had secured against persons sus-
pected of false registry, never heard of
them before the article in yesterdays
journal was shown me.
"Chief Murphy got out an injunction re-
straining me from exercising the power
conferred upon me by my colleagues The
case was heard by Supreme Court JUS
tices Dixon and Knapp, who decided that
the Board had a perfect right to confer
such power upon me.
'Ex-Judges Douglass and Potts and the
late Counsellor Charles H. VOORHEES, ap-
peared for the Chief at the time, and
William D. Edwards and the late ex-
Governor Leon Albeit appeared for the
Board.
AS to standing for ex-Policeman Hunt,
the Board, and at that time enjoyed
fair moral reputation.
