four corners of the earth it's teeming
population, and Godsmths deserted
village may be rewritten with some
vivid and startling notifications.
But the trouble will not end with
Butte. The northern peninsula of Mich
igan will also go under and become
land which no man knoweth. All of
this, though, will not be the sum of the
evils to flow from the development of
these enormous deposits of copper and
gold in the Cascades. Other places will
suffer and even "Cascadia" will present
the sad spectacle of having destroyed
and impoverished itself through the eX-
cessive production of riches.
1t is, in fact, almost impossible TO
draw a line upon the evils which may
flow from such an outpouring of min
eral wealth. Should gold become so
plentiful as to make it essentially
base metal what would be the effect
upon the finances of those nations
which have tied themselves to the
standard of immac ulate and unchang-
ing Sold-the one thing on earth the
value Oh winch never varies, as we nave
been assured more times than We can
imagine, much less count! Think for
moment of the gloom that would set
tie upon Wall street in New York and
Lombard street in London, to say moth
ing of the wall of sorrow that would
rise to heaven from the sacred pre-
cincts Of every pawnbroker shop in the
world! But We will forbear, and make
no further suggestions of misfortunes
to come through the baleful influence of
the Cascade range. We prefer TO
throw tinge of sunshine into the dark
picture by expressing a hope that the
capability of those mountains for evil
has been in a measure, at least, over
estimated

It is rumored in Butte that a move
ment is on foot to establish a mining
exchange in that city. We do not know
how we'll founded the rumor may be,
or who is supposed to be working the
matter up. But something of the kind
certainly ought to be done. Butte is a
city deeply interested in the buying
and selling of mining stocks, and the
people ought to have an opportunity OF
making their purchases 1t home, under
the auspices and protection Of a we'll
organized and thoroughly reliable ex-
change. Let the right men take hold
of it, and care be exercised in regard
to membership, and the formation Of
such an exchange will be a new era in
the history of Butte.

Butte is not the only mining district
in which there is important litigation
pending. Down in Utah the Grown
Point Mining company has sued the
Ontario and DAILY for 100000 dam
ages, alleged to be the value of ores
taken by the defendants from the
plaintiffs ground. 1t seems to be an
other case involving the question of
extra laterar' rights. Presumably
the defendants will claim that the ores
were taken from their own ledge OF
lodges dipping into plaintiffs ground
while the plaintiff will contend that tn
ore was taken from a ledge which
apexes in it's own ground. Some noted
experts are looking the ground ovel
and getting themselves into shape tc

a. very large proportion of the min

to the mining law as extra lateral

During the week Anaconda, Parrot and
otah remained practically stationary,
but the Butte & Boston and Boston &
montana showed substantial gains, the
former closing yesterday at SOls and the
latter at 364 The table below shows the
range from day to day.
Total exports of domestic copper from
New York during September were 4O31
long tons of fine, and from Baltimore
2,110 tons, total of 6,741 tons of fine. This
makes exports since Jan. 1, exclusive of
Southern ports, 1874 tons, against 97,s2s
tons last year, a decrease of 22,079 tons.
Imports of copper at New York last
month were 4,o36 tons of ore from Spain,
6,s43 tons of ore from Tilt Cove, IS tons
matte and $50 tons fine from Mexico and
2,246 tons fine copper from Europe.
Market conditions for domestic copper
reflect dizziness in trade, although there is
little change to report in prices. Lake is
quoted at 1SasM1Slac and electrolytic 171aGD
l7Ac. The market is decidedly a waiting
one, and the Trarsvaal crisis encourages
the policy of hesitation. Further arrivals
of Chilli bars are reported at Baltimore
from England, making total of more
than 1,2O0 tons received at that port, with
other large quantities either on the way
or awaiting shipment to this country.
The effect of these heavy Imports Is be-
coming apparent in the sharp decrease
noticed in European visible supply for
the last half of September, amounting to
$3.50 tons.
Imports of copper at New York during
August were 1,306S76 pounds. valued at
$169,032, against 1888 pounds, valued at
$264.244 during August, 1898. For the

MISS CRlDLEY DENIES THAT
MOTHER KEEPS BOARDERS.

New York, Dec My father was
the only man who went into the bat
tie of Manila bay with the absolute
certainty that death stared him in the
face. He knew that if he escaped the
dangers to which all were exposed, his
health was such that he would never
recover from the shock of battle.
And yet they offer the widow of
such a man a pension of $50 a month!
1t is Shameful
So proudly spoke Miss Katherine
GridIey today, the eldest daughter of
Capt. Gridley, who commanded Dewey

afterward and Who died on the way.
Miss Gridley has found occupation in
this city, where she has been since last
Monday. Miss Brown, the principal of
the boarding school for young women,
No. 715 Fifth avenue, sent for Miss
Gridley, who will act as her assistant
in the business management of the
school.
Miss Gridley lives in Erie, where her
fathers ashes are buried. His young

she is not a confirmed Invalid.
Miss Gridley is below the medium

All Is Harmony in
the Republican City
Committee.
CHAIRMAN MAKES ASTATEMENT.
Did his best and is sorry
for any break he
has made.

After the special meeting of the re-
publican city committee, last night, it
was announced that all differences had
been settled, and that the little Ratchet
with which a drive was made at the
chairman had been buried. The con-
ference between Chairman Partridge
and Messrs. Aver, Wetherby and Dow
held few evenings ago, was the real
start of what took place at last nights
meeting. At this time the chairman
says he declined to take back water,
although he was willing to make a
statement to the committee as a whole.
This was the line of action last night.
Mr.. Higgins made a motion, which
was seconded by Mr.. Whitcomb and Mr..
Aver, in substance that all differences
be considered settled and the matter
of discussion dropped. The motion was
adopted unanimously. 1t was voted to
hold run together of members of the
city committee for this year and next,
after the city election, to include din
ner. William ]. Bragg, David A. Donly
and Daniel E. Aver were appointed a
committee to fix the date and make all
necessary arrangements.
Frederick Forehand, who has started
an investigation of the men who took
the oath in the republican caucuseS,
appeared before the committee, and
stated his position in the matter. No
action was taken further than the APP
pointment of a committee consisting Of
Aldus c. Higgins, Alexander H. Bull
lock and Henry E. Whitcomb, to con-
slider the ACCESSIBILITY of the committee

mother and the pension yesterday
Then she spoke with dignity and con-
fidence, without the slightest tinge of
bitterness.
I'VE are very much averse to all this
talk about US in the newspapers" she
said. "Of course, father belonged to
the nation, and it is only fair to expect
that the public would be interested
where he is concerned. But mother

some of the statements that have been
published in regard to the pension
Mamma is not in abject want, as has
been intimated, and she does not keep
boarding house. But her only as
sured income is the pension of $50 a
month. Surely if she is entitled to that,
she is entitled to enough to live upon. :"
Then, while her eyes sparkled at the
memory of her fathers heroism she
said that he knew Dewey sounded his
death knell when he ordered you
may fire when you're ready, Gridley!"
Il see that President Mckinley has
been more than good to my brother
John in appointing him to the marine
corps, Miss Gridley continued. 1T can
never tell how grateful we all are to
the president. He has been such a
good friend! Admiral Dewey, too. has
done everything in his power for us
and we are deeply grateful to him

he had concluded, however, Col. Hep
burn got the floor and attacked the
resolution vigorously. He insisted that
the rules should be modified.
He laid particular stress on the claim
of recognition which he claimed should
not go to the member who addressed
the chair. This had been one of the
chief causes of complaints in prior con-
crosses. He contended that the com
mittee on rules should be entirely indie
pendent of the speaker, and that there
should be general decentralization of
power from the speaker in the direction
of the committees. The speaker and
the committee on rules, he commended
had too much power under the rules
proposed to be adopted, The powers
of committees and individuals should
be expanded. He proposed an amend
ment to the resolution providing that
the rules should be adopted for 40 days
during which time notifications could
be decided upon. This amendment met
with little favor, on the ground that
it would show weakness.
Mr.. Cannon of Illinois, who will again
be chairman of the committee on APP
preparations warmly supported Mr..
Dalzelfs resolution He argued, and
cited many instances to show that,
while congress was theoretically equal,
the, business OF some committees eA-
ceeded that of others in Importance,
and it was right that such should have
privileges others did NOT enjoy. 1t
was also proper, he argued, that the
committee on rules, having regard for
the business and rights of all, should
often designate what business should
have the right of way.
Mr.. Reeves of Illinois favored a mod
ification of the rules which would en-
large the committee on rules to make
it more representative body. Mr..
Moody of Massachusetts spoke for the
adoption of the Dalzell resolution.
Mr.. Grow of Pennsylvania was the
last speaker. He was generally ia
vorable to the Reed rules, which, he
said, were a great improvement over
the rules of the olden days. Mr.. Hep
burn then withdrew his amendment,
and the Dalzell resolution was adopted
without a dissenting vote.
The caucus then adjourned.
