TREATING ORES.

IREAI1NG ORES.
Los Angeles Mining Review: The
old Osborn mine, thirty-five miles
southwesterly from Wickenburg and
fourteen miles from the Vulture mine
is going to be heard from in the near
future. 1t has been lately bought by
a Denver company and under the SUI
perintendency of Mr.. Deity is sure to
come to the front as a producer. It
consists of eight copper claims. There
is a shaft down 125 feet all the way in
fine ore.
A gentleman, formerly a resident of
Minneapolis but now of San Francisco.
is in Kingman talking of a new method
for the reduction of ores, says the
Miner" He claims that by his meth
cd ores can be treated for not to ex,
ceed 81 per ton and over % per cent.
of the assay value of gold and silver
extracted. The process is simple and
inexpensive Mr.. Teller will take TWEEN
ty tons of ore from the Cerbat mine to
San Francisco, where a thorough test
of it will be made by this process, and
if it proves a success the county will
be given a thorough examination and
in the near future plant of 100 tons
capacity will be installed in Kingman.
Weaver gold district in Arizona is
wild with joy and excitement over the
development OF a strong stream of
water in one of its prospect holes. The
shaft was down lilo feet, and the water
rose forty feet so rapidly that the. man
at the bottom narrowly escaped drown

gauge yet, with no signs of its giving

RECIPROCITY WITH FRANCE.
Long Pending Negotiations Are FL
nalIy Completed md Treaty
Is Signed.

Washington, July 25. - The long
pending reciprocity treaty negotiations
between the United States and France
were brought to a successful close at
the state department last Monday aft
ernoon, when Ambassador Cambon, in
behalf of France, and Commissioner
Kasson, in behalf of the United States,
affixed their signatures to the reciproc-
ity treaty. 1t is by far the most inn
portant treaty concluded under the
reciprocity provisions of the Dingley
law, and the only one affecting the
trade with large commercial nation.
The negotiations were marked by
rather sharp and long continued dis
cussions, which continued up to the
time the signatures were placed on the
document. In the end a spirit of COM
promise prevailed, and each side yield
ed something. AS a whole, both sides
express satisfaction with the general
results secured, for while the compro-
mise necessitated some minor sacri-
fees, the general effect of the treaty
will encourage commerce between the
two countries.
The treaty will result in placing the
products of the United States on the
same basis in France as products of
Great Britain and Germany. At pres
ent these countries have the minimum
French rate, while the American goods,
with few exceptions, have had TO pay
the maximum rate.

Penwell, of the Penwell Coal company,
received instructions from his father,
George V. Penwell, of Chicago, presi-
dent of the Penwell company, to have
all fires drawn from under the boilers
at the shaft and close down the mine
Immediately. Secretary Penwell obeyed
orders by restricting Engineer Hawk
er to extinguish all fires and close the
mine. 1t is Operator Penwell's inten-
ton to indefinitely abandon his mines
and mining interests in Pana, claiming
that under present conditions with
granting of locked-out miners demands
would prove a greater loss to him than
the abandonment of his mines

TALKS ABOUT WAR.
Way to settle Alaskan Bo1nd-
AIRY Question.

Ottawa, Ont, July PA violent crit
icism of the American position con-
corning the Alaskan boundary ques-
ton by Sir Charles Upper at Saturday
mornings sitting of the house brought
forth statement from Sir Wilfrid
Laurier. lie said:
1T is clear that there are only two ways
by which the difficulty now may be settled.
artitratio or war | have no hope at this
moment that we can settle the question
by compromise. No one wants war. We
the difficulty by peaceful methods | have
not given up lope that ii is possible to
agree to arbitration. Negotiations are
still going on. We must find some means
of bringing about peaceful settlement"
Sir Charles Topper said the United
States had pursued unjustifiabie course
in this matter, and spoke of the attitude
of the Ameri an press in telling their read
ers that Great Britain and the United
States would of themselves have been able
to reach a satisfactory conclusion, but that
Canada stood in the way. The United
States in refusing TO submit the subject
TO arbitration well justified. in his opinion,
the decision Great Britain and Canada
had reached TO Cecune to allow the other
questions TO go before the high commits
sion. His belief was that the government
and commissioners of the United States
had lost confidence In their own claims to
this strip of territory.

WORK SUMMED UP.
Conference Tell what They
Have Done.


The Hague, july 25.-The final act
embodying the results of the interna-
tional peace conference, after enumer
ating the names and qualifications of all
the delegates, says;
TN a series of meetings In which the
above delegates participated, inspired
throughout by the desire to realize in the
highest possible measure the generous
views of its august initiator the confer
ence has drawn up for the approval Of the
respective governments the series of con-
ventions and declarations appended
Convention for the pacific settlement
of International disputes
Convention concerning the laws and
customs of war on land
Convention for the adoption of laws
against the use of asphyxiation or dele
FERROUS gases from balloon projectiles, and
for the prohibition of the use of bullets
that easily expand in the human body"
The final act contains five express
sions of opinion, as follows:
1.-THE conference considers that limita-
lions of the military charges which at pres
ent Cypress the world are greatly TO be de-
sired for the Increase Of the material and
moral welfare of mankind
THE conference expresses the opinion
that the question of the rights and duties
of neutrals should be inscribed on the pro-
gramme of a conference to be held al an
early date.
1.-THE conference expresses the opinion
that questions relative to the type and
calber of rifles and naval artillery as ex-
amined by it should be the subject of study
by the different governments, with view
to arriving at uniform solution by flu
ture conference.
THE conference expresses the wish that
an early convention be called TO revise the
Geneva convention.
.The conference has resolved that ques-
lions relating to the invioability of pri-
waite property in war on land and the bonn
bardment of towns or villages in naval war
be reserved for future conferences"
The Hague, July 25.-At the close of
the peace conference the following mes
sage is sent by Mr.. Andrew ID. White,
president of the American delegation,
to the people of America:
II consider the results of the conference
better than many dared hope for at the be-
ginning.
The arbitration plan is not only good in
itself, but lays the foundation for further
results.
In the cause Of peace it will be the duty
of future conferences TO develop It.
II believe the Limitation of ornaments
will come later, but in the nature of things
it is necessary that the principle of arbitra-
ton should be accepted first 1t marks the
first stage in the abolition OF the scourge
of war"

Washir gton, July 25.-The president
has no intention of relieving Cen Otis
from the military command in the Phil

administrative duties as governor gem
eral. The president had two PROPOSE
tions before him-one to make Lawton
the commanding officer of the fighting
forces, and the other to send Merritt
back to his old place. The latter as
signment would mean the subordina.
ton of Gen. Otis as governor general TO
Gen. Merritt, who outranks him by reg
ular as we'll as volunteer title. Both
ideas have now been abandoned.
