OUR HUMP CORRESPONDENT
]. ]. Bennett Talks about the P0fma-
ton Of Ores and the Blk Camp.

Messrs. Bennett aud Huntley, Of
the DeLamar company, It'd, spent
the day looking over the Big Buff
ialo group and the Winslow, and
will continue the examination to-
morrow. Mr.. Bennett, in response
to an inquiry this evening, said
that as far as he knew no decision
whatever had been arrived at yet.
"While here, Mr.. Huntley will
make a very thorough examina-
tion Of the property, he add
ed. Speaking in q general way OF
the camp, Mr.. Bennett expressed
his pleasure in finding such prom
ising conditions for the building up
of great mining community.
While the structure resembles the
granite formation around Butte, it
differs slightly from the fact that
here there are seams Of schist, Civ
ing a sort of drab appearance, but
he found the Buffalo Hump forma-
tion quite similar to old War Ea-
gle mountain near Silver City, and
a great deal like the country around
Virginia City, Nevada, although
there is more porphyry there. Still,
this being primary formation on
the Hump, there was likely to be
more porphyry on the slopes of the
divide at a less altitude. In fur
ther defining the difference between
the Buffalo Hump and Butte form
alton, he said that the granite here
was more quartzose than in Butte,
and that feldspar was more in evil
dence there than here.
Referring to the character Of the
ores up here, and treatment and
transportation, Mr.. Bennett ven
tured the opinion "there would
be little free-milling rock after any
considerable depth is reached, and
that the great bulk of the ore
would be concentrating. Whether
or not the concentrates could be
treated by chlorinating process he
was unable to say. However, il
would be comparatively easy to
construct branch railway from
Mt. Idaho or Grangeville."
S. A. Moon, who makes his head
quarters at Fish Lake, about three
and half miles northeast of here
recently discovered quartz lode
of enormous Dimensions. Today
surface groupings from the lead
tested by local assayer, gave $3(
in gold and silver. Mr.. Wagner
of the Bank of Grangeville, is ;
partner with Mr.. Moon.
The saloon men are in higl
feather today, having received
their liquor licenses by yesterday
special mail.
Mr.. Cameron, of Norman & Cam
eron, has been looking over th'
Monte Cristo today, and will like
ly give out his intentions as to tn,
development of that property to
morrow. 1t is rumored aroun,
that the Monte Cristo's wealth will
, be shown up with cross-cut tun
mel.
It is deplorable that owing t.
warning townsite factions, Buffal
Humps interests cannot be cen
tered in some one place, and tn
people who are trying to develo
the country given the benefits Of
} first-class postal service.

TERRIBLE FOREST FIRES.
r Cote Rides Through Miles
Of Flaring Flames.

OF FIaring Flames.
A terrible forest fire is raging in
the canon between Slate creek and
Boulder creek. The whole coun-
try for miles is in flames. r. Cote,
who rode over the grade between
the two creeks last night, arriving
in town this morning, had great
difficulty in getting through un-
burned. He believes that travel
will be impeded for a day or two
until the country on either side OF
the road is burned out. 1t is be-
lieved that the fire will continue
unabated until the next rain, which
may not arrive for several weeks.
The horizon, even on the prairie,
is eclipsed with smoke.
Cote says that the fire makes a
grand sight, with great trees fall.
ing and crashing on every side.
Fortunately the timber in the path
of the fire is Of no great value. The
bulk of the burned country lies
within the forest reserve, opening
up fine field of usefulness fol

QUIET DAY IN THE
 COTTON MARKET Prices Varied But Slightly Dur
 ing the Session.
ADvICES FROM THE SOUTH
Specially Favored the Bear Crowd, Everything Received Being Gratify- ing to That Contingent Close
 Was Quiet With Decline

New York, May 1.-The cotton market made quiet but steady start at unchanged prices to an advance of points. From this the variations were few and far be- tween. The foreign contingent bought the present crop months in a conservative way around the opening, but subsequently, gave attention to selling the remote new crop deliveries
 Local trade manifested little desire to operate one way or the other in the ab- sence of more tangible information regard ing the probable acreage of important change in other directions.
 In advices from the south the bear crowd was specially favored, crop advices being very gratifying, the weather hold ing clear and mild, the receipts running up full and spot ruling generally inactive, with a barely steady undertone European news averaged up against longs, Liverpool fu- lures being reported inactive with a sagging tendency, while at Manchester a strike was impending and the outlook generally was rather gloomy.
 The reverse might be said of American vigorously bidding for supplies of cloths, but manufacturers were holding out for duh firmer to shade higher prices. The close was quiet with prices net 1 to 3 points lower.

Washington, March li.-A deter.
mined, though unofficial, effort Is he.
ng made 10 secure the exercise by the
United States OF It's coed offices In be.
half Of China,
The matter has not yet been
brought officially to tha altcnllon Of
Secretary Hay, hut It Is understood
he II aware Of the wishes Of certain
interested parties, and the Ndyanta'
g2s, from their point u view, which
would accrue TO la government IN
case OF such action. II is untrue that
any appeal has been made to this gov
ernment to make any representations
to foreign governments 20 prevent
them from selling Chinese territory
WhOt IL desired Is that this govern
ment shall, Through It's minister In
pekng, Inform The empress dowager
Of the dangerous pos ton China occu'
pies, and having done Ibis, make q
public declaration that The CONNER
cAl interests Of the United States
make it necessary that no further
leases OF Chinese coast territory be
granted.
II Is extremely improbable, how
ever, that this government will con.
sent to take such action, The Chinese
minister, Wa Ting Fang, has never To
cclyed any adylces from his govern
ment regarding the Italian demand
nor has he made any representations
TO this government on that subject
under instructions from Pekmg. The
minister has naturally endcMored "a
secure information respecting the at
tltude OF the United States, and is
much pleased at the announcement
that this government does not seek
Chinese territory,
Minister Conger has so far been the
medium OF communicate with the
Chinese government, and he has been
instructed that this government did
not interfere when other nations ac'
quired Chinese territory and would
most certainly not do so in the case OF
Italy.
Diplomatic Washington is still en-
deavorlng 10 discover the nation
which Is backing Italy in her demand
upon China. Minister Conger has not
yet notified the secretary OF state that
such a demand has been presented.
