Philippines. while last evening Chief
Justice Lore, in an address delivered at
Grace Church, condemned that policy
and held that both the cubans and Fill.

The buckeye Meeting.

AT the annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Buckeye Mining com
pany, held yesterday, the old board of
directors was reelected to serve for
the ensuing year with a. E. Hyde as
president. and it is understood that
the meeting was a most interesting one
as there was quite a rivalry between
the konney and the Hyde-Beck fac
tons fer the control of the board. the
latter coming out ahead when the votes
were counted.
The Buckeye is now beins worked I'M
der lease and bond by II T. Sapping-

who has bound himself to the perform

and that the tunnel, which is now in a
distance of 300 feet for the purpose Of
cutting the parallel vein and also to
give an outlet from the shaft at a
considerable depth, shall be driven into
the mountain for distance of AGO feet

these Improvements are completed the

The Silver Park is the euphonious
title bestowed upon the Park mine at
Silver City, an ancient producer Of

and worked by Chicago people. under
the corporate name of the Park Mining

This was in the 70s. when the mine
was accredited with the production OF
many thousands of tons of ore. which

doned.
A few years ago the Park passed into
the hands of L. E. Ritter of the South
Swansea and Ed Loose of the Grand
Central, who, for a year or more have
been trying to get time to resume work
in its operation, and now that the time
is ripe, some pleasing disclosures may
be looked for in this old Wealth-pro-
duce- n the near future.
The new company is capitalized at
$780, 900 shares, of a par value OF 81

as treasury stock, although but 10000

of the directors Of the Pacific Mining
company, that pay streak Of ore had
just been uncovered in this Treasure
Hill mine, which showed assay values
of l goo ounces in silver to the ton, be-
sides which the mineral went well in

attention to Ajax, which was in brisk
demand, and which recorded sales as
well as gains.s. Bu3lion-Beck was a
favorite, and sold on rapidly rising

own IN good shape. with transfers to its
credit. -Four Aces was a hot faVorite,
