Especial Dispatch TO The Post)
Hotel Royal Palm. Miami. Fla, June IS
The reports which have been sent out
from here and Mobile regarding the alleged
participation OF tho Texas troops in the
disturbances which followed pay day does
them a gross injustice. Out of the 400
rioters gathered in by the provost guard
at Mobile only two were from the Second
Texas. The Post correspondent is also au-
thorized to deny the report sent out from
Mobile of the marriage of Lieutenant Nc
Rayser of Company y, First Texas. The

The Table Mountain Copper com pany's mine at Table Mountain prom ises to be one of the largest producers in the territory. From a gentleman close in touch with the management of the concern it has been learned that the company does not ini,e end 10 do things by halves, nor do they be- lieve in mining solely on paper. They have the machinery on the road from Willcox to their mines for two sixty ton smelters which will be put in place as soon as the wagon road to Table Mountain is finished, and they have but seven or eight miles yet to go. The machinery all comes from the Gates Iron works, Chicago, and weighs over 100000 pounds, which it will readily be seen is no small weight to haul fifty miles. There has been a good force of men at work taking out ore for several months past, and there is now lying on the dump ready for smelting some 5000 tons of good ore.
 The company store Is one of the most complete in southern Arizona, and a stock of goods aggreg gating about $20,000 is carried. The town of Table Mountain consists of the con- pany store, an assay office, boarding house and several residences. which have all been built during the pas: few months, or during the life of the above company, and the indications point to the building of a town of several hundred people during th.s year
 The Saginaw people and those who visit the mines do not hesitate to say that the Saginaw Mining comipany has some big mines in Pima county While the ore is all low grade it is taken out in such quantities that it affords an immense profit. Lately several cross cuts have been made which show the ore veins to be all, the way from eighteen to forty-two feet in width. It is stated that there is lying on the dump ore to the va'ue of sS00,O00. The balance of the ma chinery came in this week. IL in cludes a quartz mill of 100 tons ca pacity per day and a smelter with capacity of forty tons per day. Some little delay has been caused by the non-arriva1 of machinery but it is expected to have the plant in full op- eration by the last of the month Citizen

PRODUCT OF MONTANA MINES.

H. T. Franks of Butte, Mont, was a visitor at the miners bureau in Denver recently and stated that while the metallic production of the state was decided increase over that of 1896 it was principally in copper and silver, and that the gold production was only a trif1e above that of the previous year. 'The increase in cop per- said he, twas little over 3D. 00,000, the total output of last year being estimated at $27 ,000,00O The silver produced was a by-product and was valued at a little more than s20,- 900 900, which is just about the same as the product of 1896, though the amount in ounces was made larger, the falling off in the price of silver. making a very material difference in the gross value The gold product remained stationary, being about $4,- 500,O00 During the year the produc- ton of gold from dredging in the Bannock district and elsewhere has been very large, so that there has been decrease in lode mining. I do not think there is a state in the country which has a larger area of gold bearing quartz than Montana,

MASSIVE MINING MACHINERY

The largest contract for mining machinery ever made was signed in Denver by Captain Thomas Mein on behalf of the A1aska-Treadwe1l group of mines, and by W. J. Chalmers, president of Fraser & Chalmers of Chicago. In round numbers the amount was $400,000.
 The contract calls for 520 stamps compressors, winding engines, Cor liss compound engines, crushers. e.c The stamps will be divided into three mills, one of 300 stamps, one of 120 and the third of 100 stamps. The lar ger mill will be located on the Tread we'll property and the other two on the Alaska United Lumber for the erection of this mighty machinery is now being framed on Puget sound preparatory for shipment to Douglass island. Eight months will be requir- ed for the building. transportation and erection of the mills.
 When the 520 stamps are in opera ton the Alask2-Treadwell company will have SS0 stamps on it's vein, the largest number on single ledge in the world. Each stamp Is capable of crushing three and quarter tons of ore a day, or a total of 2,S60 tons, amounting to the enormous quantity of S5S, S,0O0 tons of ore in the course of the 300 working days in a year.
 An electric plant to cost s400.O00 for the Aiaska-Tre adweIl mines is also under consideration. The only ob- stacle in the way of its adoption is the uncertainty of obtaining a sufflc tent water supply during ihe winter months.

and the fact that the production has fallen off tells a story of neglected opportunities that is by no means creditable to the business sagacity of our operating miners. The product of the state in copper, silver, gold and lead is estimated at s52 100000 I am of the opinion that il will be lar gely increased during this year.

RELIEF SCHEME GIVEN UP.
The Government Expedition to the
Klondike is Abandoned.

Portland. Ore, Jan. 15.-GeneraI Mer-

the Columbia this morning, received a
telegram from the war department, in
structing him to postpone the depar-
ture of the relief expedition to Alaska.
Accordingly the contract to ship the ex-
petition from this port on the steam
ship Oregon. January %, has been with
drawn.
The pack train is still held at Fit.
Vancouver and the drilling of the
guard for it will go on The orders eff
feet a temporary abandonment of the
expedition and it is understood they
were based on the recent reports that
there WAS no starvation or suffering
in the Yukon country that the govern
ment relief expedition could relieve.
Agent Post of the Pacific Coast Steam
ship company stated that his company
is glad to be relieved of the contract to
transport the government pack train to
Alaska as it has already more business
offered than it is possible to handle.

BRYAN EXPECTED 1T.
He is Not Surprised at the New
York Journals Desertion.

The desertion of the New York Jour-
nal and the Tammany organization
from w J. Bryan does not surprise J.
Z. Dahlman, chairman of the Nebraska
Democratic state committee, and a
warm personal friend of Bryan.
Mr. Dahlman is a Nebraska railroad
commissioner, and he is here comforting
with the Kansas board
Speaking of the New York break
away, and evidently voicing Mr.. Bry-
ans view he said:
we have been expecting such act
ion for some time, and are not there
fore, surprised. The New York Demo-
Gratis are evidently getting ready to line
up for an eastern man. But Bryan will
be nominated by the Democratic ma
tionaI convention, if he lives, by a big
ma jOrity.
The New Workers can't prevent it.
We have never figured on carrying that
state at the convention or the cleo
ton. Our strength lies west of the Al
leghenies and south of the Ohio, and
we are sure to win.
An effort has been put forth by
some to get Bryan to run for congress
or governor. but he won't do it. If he
would become a candidate for either
place, the gold bug Republicans and
Democrats of the east would throw all
car load in to remove him from the
presidential race. He does not decline
to run for either of these places for this
reason, however. He simply don't want
to be governor or congressman But
watch him when the next national cam
paign rolls around. He'll sweep the
country"

The talks among the silver men con-

shape of a formal conference. Chair
man TOWne had returned from the con-
test at Columbus, where he assisted in
the opposition to Mr.. Hanna. He was
about the house OF representatives
talking with Representative Bland and
other silver opponents. The feeling de-

confer further during the next few
days, and the address will then be

Chicago Grain Market.

Chicago, Jan. 15.-The course of the
wheat market the past week has been fr-
regularly downward, quite pronounced
weakness developing at times, but sup
port was given the market at critical
points and the net decline was not heavy
The inactivity of the market is best shown
by the range of prices, which was but 2
cents, May huctuating between Sltsc and
S95sc- Yesterdays closing price, 91u90ltc,
shows decline Of 1a4M15sc for the week.
The market was weakened on Saturday
by a failure of a predicted cold wave TO
materialize, which caused considered bic
liquidation by those who had bought on
expectations of crop damage. Weakness
of the foreign markets, coupled with an
almost stagnant condition of trade, re-
suited Monday in a &c break This was
recovered Tuesday on buying by the Lei
ter crowd, which started a general cover
ing movement by shorts. but for the rest
of the week the trend of the market was
downward. Extreme weakness which de-
veloped at Liverpool was partly responsi-
BILE for the decline Indirectly also the
gradually increasing offerings of wheat
from the new Argentine crop cut quite
figure as they apparently played an i'm
portant part in the declines in the foreign
market The Letter interests gave the
market good support on Thursday when
the price got to 90c, but on Friday were
sellers at the low point.
