to Minnesota to verify what to them

OLIVER GETS ZENITH.
According Ito Reports tho Deal has Been
ClOaed

Closed.
Fridays Duluth dailies brought the
report of the sale of the Zenith mine
to the Oliver Mining company.
While the report has not as yet been
officially verified in this city is never
theless taken for truth. especially so
since no one connected with the Zen
ith management has seen tit to deny
it.
A short time ago the Oliver people
made the Zenith Mining company an
offer for transferring its lease and
time was fixed within which the
same might be accepted SAYS The
Tribune. About 80 days remain of
the time specified, but the stockhold-
ers decide by unanimouSyote yester-
day to accept theo offer and the deal is
considered closed. The transfer will
be made as quickly as the details can
be attended to. The consideration is
said to have been in the neighbor-
hood of 500, 900. Z The Zenith Mining
company will close up its affairs and
60 out existence. This is the second
mining property that the Oliyer-Car-
negis people have obtained this year
on the Vermilion range. Franklin
Rockefeller, James Corrigan of Cleye-
land, the Bradleys Of Duluth and a
number of nonresident stockholders
attended the meeting at West Super
ior yesterday Maj. M. W. Burt, super
intendent OF the Zenith mine was
there, as was also T. II. Bushnell of
Cleveland, attorney for the stockhold-
ers. The lease of the Zenith Mining
company has 10 years to run before its
expiration. The royalty paid is 80
cents and the minimum output is 3d.
900 tons.
The company was reorganiZed in
1895 and it was then that James Cor
rigan and Franklin Rockefeller came
in. 1t is said that the mine never
made any money for the original or for
the reorganized company. Since the
prices Of ore have gone down and the
rates for rail::transportaUion have con-
tinued firm. it is said that the last
promise Of working the property pro-
fitably by an independent concern has
disappeared.
1--WE sold out for enough to pay our
debts, said one of the stockholders.
Low prices for ore and the exorbitant
transportation charges;by the range
roads have matte it possible to oper-
ate the mine. The Oliver people are
in position to do something with
the property as they are consumers as
well as producers and will take out
large quantities of ore"
The present shaft of the Zenith
mine is worked out and will be sunk
distance Of IA feet the coming season.
This will make total depth of 729
feet. It will be necessary TO drift
some distance from the new levels
to the ore body and it is not expected
that any ore will be ready for ship
ment before June. The Zenith mine
was first opened In 1891 and the fee il
owned by Harvey Mining, 65-I0O;
Franklin Rockefeller, Io-Ioo; and Rob-
ert Whitesides, 25-Ioo. The largest
output of any season was last year
when nearly 4I,ooO tons were pro-
duced.

In the ex-parte case OF William
Kalmbach, contest against an
Indian allotment, the secretary has
rendered a decision sustaining the de-
cision of the commissioner OF the gen.
eral land Office and the local officers.
In this decision he brings out two
important points, KalmDach made
application to enter and contest the
allotment subsequent to the initia-
tion Of proceedings by the govern
ment to cancel the allotment. His
application is denied on the ground
that the government had already be-
gun proceedings and that'ho stranger
to the record could then come in and
intervene. Kalmbach alleged prior
settlement and it is held that he
must rest on his rights as a settler
and not On his application to enter,
as application could not be made. the
land having been segregated by rea-
son Of the Indian allotment. The
decision also makes point that con-
test can be begun in an allotment
case after the approval of the allot-
ment aud before the issuance of the
trust deed, but not before ap-
proval, and then must be before the
issuance Of the patent. and no one
can begin proceedings when the gov
eminent has already doEe so. A
peculiar feature of Kalmhach's ease
was that he alleged that the land was
wholly unfit for cultivation and
chiefly valuable for timber and at the
same time was making an appiica-
tiou to enter it as homestead.

SPAIN TALKS BACK.

She Does Not Intend to Give Up Her
Colony. 4
MADRID, April 13.-The Cuban question Is
regarded on all sides, even apparently by
United States Minister Stewart Woodford, as
being most serious. -
AS the result Of long cabinet council last
night, the Spanish war office is actively en-
gagged in fortifying and manning the Medi-
terranean islands of Spain, and in placing
other portions Of the kingdom in q state Of
defense.
The cabinet meeting lasted FIVE hours, and.
1t. Is said, was mainly devoted to the consid-
Grafton Of President McKinley's message to
congress on the Cuban situation. When the
ministers adjourned an official note was is
sued, setting forth the views Of the govern
ment. 1t Is varously commented upon and
interpreted In newspaper circles.
In brief the note sets forth that the cabinet
mas granted an. extraordinary credit for war
purposes, and has incidentally increased the
grant for the account Of the artillery of Porto
Rico. 5~s4 ss -7ssTG's : ~ : '- W
Senior Gullon read a report of the text of
President McKinleys message, addi1ig: '"The
doctrines: contained in the messaSe are In
compatible with the sovereignty and rights
OF the nation, and are an interference in the
International affairs Of this country"
The official note also says: "a firm CON-
luton to maintain them, will inspire the ma
ton as they inspired the government with the
serenity necessary in these difficult moments
to direct successfully and defend enereetica 'iy
the sacred interests which are the patrimony

people will not weaken the hands
which hold the reins at the present
critical moment. Only two courses are
open: Either to close Spain's history
in the new world, fleeing ignominiously
before the boots Of Washington poll
ticians, or to leave to arms the decision
of the quarrel. Last nights official
note leads to the belief that the gov
ernment favors the latter alternative,
which Is in harmony with the national
sentiment"
The Impartial Qndependent) rakes
the presidents message fore and aft,
suggests that 1t suppresses the truth
and turns disdainfully away, appeal
ing to the government to unite all
Spaniards by bold action
Continuing, the impartial says: ''The
ministers must see that each act OF
weakness will beget fresh American
insult. President Mckinley scarcely
notices the armistice, except to tell the
insurgents, should peace not result

other words, Don't yield; I'm here.
Let Spain send her fleet to Cuba. Let
the truce end SO soon as it Is known

Honor and common sense alike demand
this course
The Liberal (Moderate Republican,
says: THE government in spite of the
optimism Of the ministerial organs re-
specting the message, rejects interven-
ton. Passages of the official note are
almost in the words of the Liberals
leader of yesterday, namely: Theory

practice will be energetically opposed
whenever it Is attempted It is runor-
ed that certain councillors argued that
President McKinley's affirmation of the
principle Of Intervention would stor
the jingoes, limiting that therefore
Spain should overlook the matter. We
protest against such concession as be-
ing contrary to independence. Silence
before President McKinley's theory Is
equivalent to the remuneration of all
sovereign right. The government has
done well in securing henceforth the
safety Of Its most. sacred and most
precious deposit. Much, however. re-
mains to be told. Terrible will be the
consequence Of debility and .indecdsion,
should the government seek, to avoid
or dodge the dangers. Theme Is only
one road, for Spain. We agree with
Senior Silyela as to the necessity for
proceeding without delay, and fearless
ly, toward definite decision. The
Liberal has always supported peace.
but we think affairs have arrived at
a point when true patriotism demands
an immediate solution
