WRANGL|NG OVER CUBAN DEBT
PEACE COMMISSIONERS COME To
NEW AGREEMENT.
Spaniards Seeking to Ignore the
Terms of the Observation-Disclosures
Question Under Discussion.

Paris, Oct. 12.-The sittings yesterday
of the joint peace commissions of the
United States and Spain were devoted
according to the Gaulois to an examina-
ton of the solution which it is possible
to give to two questions in the protocol.
The Philippine question, the Gaulois
adds, was discussed incidentally, the
United States commissioners seeking to
impose a system of compensation for
claims connected with the entire group
by assuming the debt, provided Spain
guarantees the Cuban debt.
The Spaniards, it further appears, wish
the United States to assume the Cuban
debt and to hand over TO Spain all the
war material in Cuba and Puerto Rico.
The discussion, according to the
Gaulois, was very animated. Judge Day,
the president of the American commits
sion, and Senior Montero Rios, the presi-
dent of the Spanish commission, having
received precise instructions from their
respective governments, the Americans
consider that they cannot discuss the
principles forming the base of the proto-
col TO which the SpaniardS reply that
the protocol was signed at a critical mo-
ment and under so pressing a necessity
that it cannot be considered as express
ing the sovereign will of a free nation.
The American peace commission at 3
o'clock today engaged in its first function
outside of purely diplomatic lines. The
Figaro entertained the members of both
commissions with stage performance in
which Cocuelin, LOie Fuller and others
took part. The occasion was informal and
pleasing.

The Midas Gold Mine.

Returns have been made on a wagon
load of ore from the Midas mine,
brought in from Deep Creek. The Mi
das is owned by Hon. John Dern, Hon.
James Chapman and w. II. Grant, the
experimental tests being made at Mer-
cur by the cyanide process, the result
showing that the ore responded in a
most pleasing manner to this system
of reduction, as saving ranging from
Sc to "a per cent of the assay value of
the mineral was recorded, and as the
ore showed values of from $26.40 to
SIS in gold by fire tests, and there are
large bodies of it blocked out in the
mine. it is plainly to be seen that with
further development this property is
likely in time TO be classed with Utah.
dividend payers.
Not being fully satisfied with the cy
anide tests, however, further expert
ments will be made on the ore, and
yesterday lot of it was delivered to
Colonel Lewis, who will see what he
can do with it by amalgamation and
concentration at his works on Eighth
South, between Main and State.
1t is more than likely that a mill for
the reduction of Midas ore will grace
the mine sometime next season.
The owners of this valuable prop
erty are sending out provisions and
supplies with the intention of pushing
work in it's extensive exploration all
winter.

Will Kelly of Ophir, who has been in
the city for the past few days, has not
visited Zion for the mere purpose OF
rest and recreation, his time while
here having been spent in the further
ance OF an enterprise calculated to have
a beneficial effect on the future OF the
growing camp of Mercur, which now
boasts a population Of nearly 3,OO0
souls.
In brief, Mr.. Kelly is engaged in the
formation of a company whose object
will be to add to the water supply OF
the great gold camp mentioned above
the source of the new supply being the
Kelly springs at the head of Ophlr
canyon, but which, it is asserted, have
no connection whatever with Ophlr
creek, from which the Gold Belt COM
pany of Mercur draws the life-giving
fluid. the springs not flowing into this
stream, and Mr.. Kelly claims that a
pipe line OF six miles in length will
connect the springs with Mercur, and
that the water can be brought into the
camp by gravity, and at compare
lively small expense, aside from the
original cost of the system, which
would doubtless be in the neighborhood
of SIS, 900 or 10000, while the supply is
ample to fill four-inch pipe, being
sufficient TO furnish Mercur and ada
cent territory with water for long
time to come.
At the present time, while there has
been no great scarcity of water at
Mercur, it is stated that the supply, as
furnished by the Gold Belt company,
co;Iid hardly be further drawn upon
without straining its limit, and as the
place is growing rapidly, with the
promise of double the present popula-
ton within the next year or two, it is
argued that another pipe line would
not come amiss, especially as street
sprinkling will soon become a neces-
sity, along with the other metropoli-
tan phases of metropolitan life which
now embellish the town, besides which
the residents of the camp will soon
have lawns 10 sprinkle and trees and
foliage to water, the desire to beautify
surroundings being even now apparent,
all of which will be a drain upon the
water supply
The project may not crystalline until
some time next spring, but there is no
doubt but that it will be pushed to
successful contamination in time, when
ii is predicted that water rates at Mer-
cur viii be cut through the middle.
Aside from the local men who are in
terested in the enterprise, it is init
mated that Boston people will be back
OF it when the time comes for the eX-
penditure of cash in the building of the
line.

NEGRO SOLDIERS AT SALT LAKE.

Seattle Republican: What a remark
able change of heart has taken place
with the citizens of Salt Lake City,
Utah, in regard to the negro soldier.
But few months ago, comparatively
speaking, and the entire Mormon city
was up in arms and publicly denounc-
ing the war department for stationing
negro troops at Fort Douglas, near
that city. Senator Cannon appealed to
General Alger, with tears in his eyes,
to rescind the order but the request
was denied and the negro soldiers went
to Salt Lake City. Months passed and
not a single citizen was molested by
the vicious CD negroes, and the ami
mostly toward the black boys began to
cool off and their black, bland smiles
were courted by the fair citizens Then
the Spanish war broke out and the war
department gave it out that the negro
troops were desired for the Cuban cam
paign, and the Twenty-fourth was re-
moved from Salt Lake for active duty.
Instead of holding jubilee meeting at
getting rid of the negroes, hundreds of
citizens followed them to the depot and
cheered and shouted themselves hoarse
for success to attend the brave black
boys (and it did, and the boys and
girls threw flowers and kisses of sue
cess at them in perfect profusion. The
100-days' war was begun and ended,
and where the thickeSt of the fight was
the citizens of Salt Lake City always
noted that the Twenty-fourth boys
were there, and where the rough riders
had all but failed at Ell Caney, the
'Twenty-fourth' saved the day and
planted 'old glory" at the cost of
rivers of human gore. where only brave
men could plant it. Victory came to
the nation and the boys came home.
The Twenty-fourth was again ordered
to Salt Lake City. No protest, how
ever, came this time. No asking of the
war department by Senator Cannon to
rescind the order, but, instead thereof,
the following associate press dispatch
will give the reader some idea of the
great change of heart on the part of
the Mormon capital toward the negro
soldiers. Hear it:

MINES OF LEADvILLE.
Long-neglected Producers Will Be
Worked Again.

Worked Again.
The Leadville Herald Democrat, in
speaking of the work just begun in the
unwatering of the lower tier of mines
in the old carbonate camp, says:
After being shut down for 25 months
the downtown mines are to be at once
reopened. The work of preparing the
pumps for the long task ahead of them
is to be commenced today, and it is
to be sincerely hoped nothing will now
intervene to stop the work. The ore
bodies lying beneath the water line
of this lower tier of LeadVille mines
are among the richest in the state.
They are of a character needed by the
smelters anG the camp needs the in
creased business that will come from
the opening and continued operation of
these heavy producers.
Closed down and allowed to fill with
water as the result of the labor troubles
then distressing Leadville, the loss the
camp has suffered from their continued
inactivity cannot be estimated, but it
belongs as an item of expense to the
other enormous sums which the ill-ad-
vised strike cost the mine-oWners, the
state of Colorado, the county and city,
the cause of labor and the working
men themselves. Their unWatering

vile. 1t must be accepted as heralding
a new day that bids the past good
bye and starts with new vigor to re-
cover lost time. The men in charge
are confident of reaching the ore bodies
in three months, and hopeful of start
ing the new year with an underground
force of something near the number
employed before mining was suspended.
1t is too much to expect of human
nature that the ugly past has been
either forgotten or forgiven. The ex-
periences were too bitter for that, but
there is a disposition on the part of all
to meet fairly and squarely the ad-
justed conditions, and all are agreed
that there shall be no recurrence of the
acts that caused these mines to close.
1t is no secret that the nine-owners
have waited until they felt they would
be secure in their right to operate their
properties without being inundated or
forced to make surenders at the alter
native or again shutting down and so
undoing all they had accomplished at
a large outlay of money. That they
know what they are doing must be ac-
cepted as true, and they have delayed
long to make sure of their position. The
labor of the Home Mining company has
at last borne fruit, and it is to be hoped
by all il will be found palatable and in
a abundance.
