money have given rise t o an agitation
N favor OF the issuance by the govern

of five, ten, twenty-five, and fifty cents,

following design has been suggusted:
Each piece to contain on its face alarge

for insertion of the name OF the con
signee and signature OF the recipient.
At the lower right.hand corner there
Is a space for a revenue stamp TO be
attached when the check Is transferred
through the mails. 1t is intended by
the o~riginators of the plan that the
checks shall circulate as money so long
a. the spaces for assignment are not
Sled out and no stamp attached. When
il is necessary 20 use them ia making
remi:tanees the blanks are filled out.
they are made payable to the person Or
arm for whom they are intended and
thus they Ear be sent safely through
the mails as they are then worthless TO

THE WHITE PINE NEWS.
Thursday, November 10, 1898.

In spite OF the fact that wool and
woolens are protected by the highest
tariff ever imposed, w~oolgrowers are
faced with the fact that prices OF dom
estic wool have decreased 10 per cent
since last February. Domestic prices
are below the foreign level, as is proved
bv the recent export of 1900 bales OF
Australian wool held at Boston. At the
same time the estimated wool clip this
year is %, 900, 900 less than last year.
Commenting on this situation, the
American Wool and Cotton Reporter OF
New York says: zone trouble with the
situation lies in the fact that, owing to
the hard times and the downward ten
dency of wages during the past few
years, the people have become accus-
toned to the idea Of purchasing their
clothing al a figure which, eight or ten
years ago, would have seemed ridicu-
lousy small. It is for 80 suits that there
Ia a popular demand. AS wool has de-
cidedly advanced In the past two years,
manufacturers are obliged to use sub
stitutes for wool. Hence the large a
mounts of cotton which are now being
used In the manufacture of clothing, es-
pecially of worsteds. This, OF course,
partly accounts for the lessened demand
for wool"
1t Is indeed a pitiful thought that the
American laborer in this land of plenty
cannot afford wooden clothing. 1t is
certainly a candid admission from q Gold
bug paper. Yet with their next breath
they will tell us that the laborer's wages
will buy more OF the necessaries of life
than ever before.

MINING e

Consumers say that the use Of cyan
ide in Utah during the year has IN
creased 80 per cent.
Three years ago the Temple Bar,
Arizona. Co. put in considerable ma
chinery which upon trial proved of IN
adequate power. They kept on work
ing and experimenting, and last week
began work washing gravel by direct
pressure successfully.
A Washington, D. C., dispatch states
that the Mineral Land Office records
show that there was an increase OF near
ly 4. 900 mineral entries during the is-
cal year 1898, as compared with lse'-
an indication OF the revival In the min
ing industry. In 1895 but 757 entries
we're made.

part owner in an unpatented mining
claim may institute proceeding for pat

terest in a claim, nor can a co-owner be

WHAT ELY NEEDS.

Zone of the most prominent present
characteristics of the mining world is
the ~reopening and profitable working
of mining properties once abandoned
but now in many cases dividend paying
producers; this being possible because
of cheaper forms of treatment, better
transportation facilities, decreased cost
of supplies, and a general advance in
modes and methods Of scientific mining.
In many isolated places, where dove
lopmeut has not as yet justified the
building of a plant OF its own, many a
little mine would find the custom mill
an important factor, a necessary ad-
junct, but il Is not an uncommon case
that the custom mill remains nothing
learned. nothing forgotten, I" just as a
generation ago. 1t Is not an usual ex-
p~erience for a miner to send his little
''mill run" hoping to get a few dollars
from the cleanup, with the outcome
that his dirt just paid expenses;
sometimes the result putting him in
debt. OF course, no mill, custom or
other kind, can put values in ore, hut it
Is often manifest that use of the many
proffered improvements would be of
profit to the owner Of the custom mill
and of encouragement to the miner de-
pendent on It. AS matters stand to-
day, with right management, the oper-
alton OF a custom mill offers as profit
able a field OF industry as mining itself.
As a business proposition, the up-to-
date running OF a custom mill should
be a paying investment. Mention is
made OF the custom mill because it is
an important factor in general mine de-
yelopment, and can be made of great
value by push and progressive manage
ment in saving values and handling low
grade ores at a mutual profit. Min

diers Who Have Served Three
Years to Remain.

Havana, Nov. s.-The Spanish gov
ernment has decided on the terms un-
der which the soldiers desirous of stay
ing in Cuba will be allowed to remain.
If they have served three years in full
they will be given their discharge and
paid small part of their salary, dis
tributed pro rata, receiving notes for
the balance. Those soldiers who have
served less than three years will be
taken to Spain.
This rule concerning discharge ap-
plies to the orden publicos also, and
it is believed that the majority of them
will take the opportunity to secure
free transportation to Spain.

Honrd of Money Found.

Cleveland, O., Nov. "a special from
Akron, o., says: A large sum of money
of Oscar Osborne, who was murdered
at Richfeld few weeks ago. 1t is
said the murdered man had confided
to neighbor the hiding place of the
money, and recently search was made,
with the result that sums aggregating
$1o,oco were found. The theory is now
advanced that the strap found about
Osborne's neck was used to choke and
strangle him, to induce him to tell
where the money was hidden. 1t is
known that Osborne had secreted large
sums somewhere about his place.

TO BE FREE FROM CAPTURE.
Memorial Prepared Asking President
to Call international Convention
to Consider Important Question.

Washington, Nov. 3. - A memorial
prepared by Charles Henry Butler and
others has been presented to the pres
ident asking that this government call
an international convention to consid-
er the question Of making private prop
erty free from capture on the high seas
in time Of war. The memorial pays d
highly respectful tribute to the admin
istration on the humane and speedily
successful prosecution Of the recent
war and points out that this govern
ment is in the best position Of any pow
er at present to take the initiative In
such humane movement without lay-
ing itself open to the imputation Of
selfishness. The memorial gives an In
teresting resume Of this country's ad-
vocacy of free ships and free goods and
quotes the famous Paris convention,
which it will be remembered il as fol-
lows: $500. --,

enemys nag.
Fourth-Blockades, to be binding. must
be etfective-that Is to say-maintained by

| to the enemy's coast fsi.
The memorial urges that internation-E
al law should be amended to not only
include all the above, but to exceptall
private property from capture except
contraband Of war. It is pointed out
that the present threatening aspect Of
European politics would make this
move by the United States particular
ly acceptable to the remainder Of the
world at this time, and besides saving
untold loss and suffering by innocent
non-combatants in case of a general
war would stand forever as another of
the many strong claims that this coun-
try holds upon the gratitude Of the
civilized world.

Washington, Nov. 3.-The reported
loss of the Panama caused great ex-
citement at the war and navy depart
ment and both were deluged with
cablegrams from relatives and friends
of persons believed to be on the trans
port begging for information. Neither
department had any information on the
subject and each discredited the re-
port. To all inquiries replies were sent
that the department had heard moth
Ing on the subject and did not believe
the story. The principal foundation
for the departments disbelief was that
telegram was received from Gen.
Wood at Santiago about midnight
treating of purely business affairs and
saying nothing whatever of the ru-
mored loss Of the ship. twas assumed
that he would have telegraphed If the
rulnor appeared to be well based.
