BIG LEDGE OF RICH ORE.
Greatest Strike Probably Ever Made
in the United States.

SPOKANE, Wash. Oct. 31.-A telephone
message from Republic camp, on the north
half of the CoIville reservation, says that
the miners have crosscut tWenty-four feet
of ore in the big ledge on the 430-foot level,
and the drills were still in ore. The news
of the big strike has spread to the sur
rounding mining districts, and the excite
ment is intense Conservative mining men
say that such an ore chute with such
values-$3OO per ton--is unprecedented in
the mining history of the continent. The
great chute has now been proved for a
depth of 430 feet, and length of 400 feet
1t is nowhere less than five feet wide, and
the width runs as high as twenty-five feet
Contrary TO the general rule in gold mining,
the ledge is the richest at the widest points.
The mine is eighty miles from railroad
and the ore is freighted that distance over
a mountain road and shipped to a Puget
sound smeter In addition to these limited
shipments the company Is treating ore at
it's mill on the ground with the electro
cyanide. It's receipts from ore shipments
and mill runs are averaging $4,000 per day,
and these will be greatly increased when
the machinery is installed for the enlarged
mill running for several years. Other big
mines In the camp are the Mountain Lion,
owned chiefly in Portland; the San Poll
ana the Jim Blaine, owned in Spokane.

ARMOUR IN TIGHT PLACE
ALLEGED TO HAVE BEEN SQUEEZED
BY SHORT RIBS CORNER.
Work of n Syndicate of Chicago Firms
known as the English Packers
Price Forced to $6.75.

CHICAGO, Oct. SIP. D. Armour gave up
snug little sum to-day as the result of a
little squeeze in October shortribs if the
gossips on Change know whereof they
speak. 1t was the last day of the October
delivery and ribs which could have been
bought with comparative ease on Saturday
at $3.50 for 100 pounds, and on Friday as
low as $5.1215, were apparently scarce, with
the price soaring up toward 81. The price
was only stopped at 1918 by private settle
ment of about 100000 pounds. There is
no telling where the deal would have gone
had the people running it pushed it to ex-
tremity. They demonstrated their absolute
control of the situation. 1t was the Gull
mination of deal by a syndicate of what
are known as the English" packers, with
number of concerns associated with them,
said to have been against John Cudahy and
p d. Armour Though his representatives
deny it) and has been under way for
something like two months. Just who con-
stitute the syndicate is not yet public
property, but it includes Swift & Co., the
Chicago Packing Company, the Continental
Packing Company the International Pack
ing Company, and probably the several
commission concerns which are made UP of
the people largely interested in the packing
companies named,
The acting head of the combination was
Samuel MacLean, the manager of the
AAnglo,,American Packing Company. Up to
Saturday night all of the members of the
syndicate had ribs to sell for October
delivery at $3.50. This morning there
were practically no offerings, and on
the buying of not to exceed 225, 000 pounds by
Logan, Lamson and other commission con-
Germs. the price was put up from nominal
opening at $5S71a to about $6.621a. A. H..
Farnum, toward the latter part of the SeS-
sion, was credited with buying 900
pounds at $6.75 and few minutes later
it was practically confirmed that a private
settlement had been made on 100000 pounds
at $6.7 MacLean, who acted for the people
running the deal, confirmed a private set
Element in this quantity, but refused to say
with whom the settlement had been made.
1t was generally understood that Mr.. Far
mum had something to do with this par
ticular deal, and nine out of ten of the peO-
pie in the provision pit believed that Mr..
Armour had finally come in, after stubborn
ly standing out on a big short line. The
quantity of ribs on which settlement has
been made was raised by common gossip
to 30jO,000 pounds after the close. No one
but the people in direct interest know just
what settlements were made privately to-
night on the basis of closing prices.

WABASH, Ind, Oct. 31.--Albert J. Bev-
eridge this afternoon addressed the largest
audience assembled during the present cam
paign at the opera house in this city. The
speaker did not arrive in Wabash until 2:35
o'clock and then proceeded directly to the
stage, where a large crowd was patiently
waiting for him. Mr.. Beveridge was in
troduced by Hon. Cary E. Cowgirl, and
at once took up the discussion of the war
issues, and throughout his address of near
ly two hours held the audience. His appeal
to the voters to sustain the administration
was one Of the most powerful arguments
ever made in Wabash. Mr. Beverage held
the undivided attention of his immense
audience, which filled the chairs, the aisles
and the foyer of the opera house, and re-
peatedly responded with cheers. The
speaker read extracts from the Indianapolis
Sentinel, which he humorously referred to
as the organ of the opposition, and asserted
that on the lines of political policy laid
down by the Sentinel the man who voted
for Democratic congressman and legisla-
tive candidates voted for the interests of
Spain. The speech produced a profound
impression among both Republicans and
Democrats, many of the latter being pres
emit.

FORT WAYNE, Ind, Oct. S1.-The City
Hall was crowded tonight to hear the
speech of DR.. c. b. Stenen, Republican
candidate for Congress. His competitor,
Congressman James M. Robinson, has not
made speech in this city during the cam
paign and probably will not, he does
not want to declare where he stands on the
money question. Prominent Democrats are
opposing his election, notably Hon. Charles
McCulloch, president of the Hamilton Ma
tional Bank and one of the most active
Democrats in the Twelfth district. He is
fighting him openly, declaring he is not a
fit man to represent the district because of
lack of intelligence. There is no doubt
whatever that Stemen's chances are grow
ing brighter every day. and it is conceded
now by many Democrats that Robinson s
election is in doubt.

WHY LEAVES TURN AND FALL.
The Causes of BriIIiant-COIOred Foil
age in the Autumn.
Baltimore Sun.

DR.. Boiling w. Barton. lecturer on botany
at the Johns Hopkins University, said yes
terday in regard to the falling of the leaves
in autumn and the brilliant colors char
acteristic of so many of them:
The leaves of most of our trees fall in
the autumn because it would be poor
economy ", on the part Of the plant to retain
the cold, the SHOWS, the sleet and the gales
of the harsher period of the year. The
weight of the snow and sleet would break
the limbs, and the winter gales would tear
them to shredS or dry them into brittle
and useless appendages. Note the trees
evergreens-and it will be seen that such
leaves are tough and leathery else reduced
to mere needles, as in the pines.
Most trees, therefore, shed their leaves,
cast them off by an act of amputation or
soughing, and cover the scar with layer
of cork which stops bleeding and ex-
fore they fall they assume the splendid
cOlors for which we are just now watching
from day to day-such wondrous color dis
plays as atone in part for the loss of sum-
mer and the dreaded sight of blue-nosed
winter standing just beyond.
THE strangest part of these yearly
fers is that it all seems to be without
meaning, or, as the naturalist would put it,
it has no special biological significance 1t
is mere incident in the later life and the
of them organs of allurements to insects,
birds etc, which visit them for their
money, anu, III RETURN, Tenucf the service Oh
pollinatton. Color in fruit likewise makes
It, conspicuous and secures free transporta-
ton by sundry animals, which thus scatter
the seed. But the hues of autumn foliage
mean little more in the lives of the plants
than do the color of precipitates in the
test tubes of the chemist
ITO understand these color changes in the
dying leaf we must know something of
the purpose and function of healthy, active
leaves This function is not, as is so often
said to give shade, whether TO the plant
itself or to man and beast. If they shade
the roots and so economic water. this is
only by the way and not the important
role they play in the life of the plant.
The plant gets its food from the earth
and the air. These are the raw materials,
salts of the soil dissolved in water and
oxygen and carbonic-acid gas free in the
atmosphere. These simple substances are
received in the leaves and spread out with
the green substances of the leaf cells to
the action Of the suns rays, and are thus
converted into the complex organic pro-
ducts upon which the plant depends for it's
growth and upon which animals can live
The leaf green or chlorophyll is the sub
stance upon which all this complicated
chemistry depends. and has, therefore
been spoken of the most important of
all known compounds, for life as we know
ii could not exist without II. Without
light however and a certain high tenn
perature the chlorophyll would avail moth
