CORRESPONDENCE.
Editor REPORT
Dear Sir:


Everything has settled down
somewhat since the sale OF the
mines, Of which wrote in my last,
but notwithstanding this, both Mr.
Curtis, and Messrs Ralston, Taft,
our merchants report business good.
We notice that quite a number
Of prospectors have taken to the
hills, and as a consequence thereof
we are likely to have some new
finds to report in the near future.
The Cow Creek placer mine is
still running double shift, and with
very good results.
T. A. Wiley one Of the owners
is staying there now, and has been
for some time.
The boys employed there were
treated to a great exhibition just
short time ago. Mr.. Henry Burke
the chief, has a pet cat named
Phoebe which is well educated and
trained, and which he takes great
pride in exhibiting to al strangers
who may chance that way. during
the visit of l.. s. Morton Of the Blue
Jacket mine, Henry tied string
with paper attached to the cats
tail and in ssome nnaccountable
manner this string became united.
(And thereby hangs tale, the root
of which caused all the amnsement.)
Henry noticed that the cat was
digging hole when he went to
faeten the string on again, but paid
no attention to Il, and went on with
his work amid great shout Of
laughter from his audience which
could have been heard mile away
and still our chief did not tumble
for at least minute more. But
when be did, so he Immediately
procured soap and water and treat-
ed both hands to q Wholesome dose
thereof, when any the hoys are
thirsty now, all they have to say is
cat. and the drinks are Immediately
forthcoming.
Harry Southland has struck bed
rock and a good showing Of fine
gold with great prospects OF the
coarse gold coming in soon.
J. @. Marsh is now encamped on
the Mckinley claim.
Our roads are now passable,
thanks, to the efficiency Of super
visor Alkire, who with his usual
promptness overcome the many
obstacles which stood in his way.
Messrs Martin, Peck and John
johnson are going out TO take in
the harvest this week.
Al Hodgkins is working at
Goulds harvesting, and Geo. Deid-
erich is working at the John Day
ranch.
Pratt and York are still making
great hauls of fish every day almost.
Dyer and Simpson are prospect
ing in the Crooks Corral country
and report finding a good copper
property. Mr.. Sicily is with them.
D. d. Baker is now to besfound
at his ranch where he aecommo
dates all visitors with plenty Of
good cheer in the latest delicacies
of the seaeon.
We are informed OF the d. @, of
"A deal that is now on the tapis but
are not at liberty to mention par
ticulars further than to say it is
south of the Rubber neck, and some
where on Chair creek. If it goes
through will advise you at once.
We are expecting visit from
Mr.. J. NJ. Wolbert, and all of the
boys now left here will be pleased
to meet the best non resident friend
this district has and will treat him
accordingly.

LIQUOR DEALERS ASSN MEETS.
Officers Elected, and the Tax cues
tiou Discussed at Length.

The annual meeting Of tho Richmond
Liquor Dealers Association was held last
night in Sanger Hall The attendance
was fairly large and thoroughly repre-
sentative. The principal business was
the election OF officers for the ensuing
year, but the feature OF the meeting was
a long and lively debate over the license
tax question.
The following officers were elected:
President, John VI. Higgins; First Vice.
President, A. W. Rosene; Second Vice
President, j. J. Rankin; Third Vice-Presi-
dent Carl Wippermann; Secretary, n. L.
BEDFORD: Treasurer. w. II. zimmerman:
Sergeant-at-Arms, George y. Cease.
No action was taken IN regard 10 the
license tax issue. From the discussion.
however, the sentiment OF the association
appeared 70 be almost unanimous in favor
of a fixed tax as opposed TO a graded tax.
which was suggested by the Finance
Committee. The association is dealing
with the question very tenderly, being
anxious not TO do or say anything TO pre-
tudice their position. No action was
taken last night. because the City Council
has as yet taken no action looking 10 the
appointment Of the proposed commission
to draw up plan for grading the tax.
The association Is unanimously In favor
or appointing a committee to confer and
cooperate with the Council Committee, IL

II VIII End when One Big Concern

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE Indus
trial Commission held only an afternoon
session, and heard but one witness to-
day. J. N. Jarvie Of the firm of Arbuckle
& Brother, and manager OF the firms
sugar-sehning business. Nr. Jarvie's tes-
timony was brief. lie was easy and
courteous i'm his attitude toward his In.
qulsitors. refusing but one question. that
OF how much It cost his company to re-
fine sugar. He said he did not wish "a
give information of that sort to HIS busi'
ness competitors.
Mr., Jarvie put the necessary margin
between raw and refined sugar at between
50 and 50 points, to allow n profit on tn,
business. He said that when his firm
started business, in 1898 this margin wal
about 80. II had dropped as low as 81
and was now about so. He explained the
entrance Of the Arbuckles into the sugar.
field by saying that i'm 1893 they Sc
cured a machine for weighing and pack.
ing sugar, and undertook 10 sell package
sugar to the wholesale trade. They
bought from the American Refining COM
pany. but found they could make no
profit in that way and so started their
own refinery. lie said the tariff differsn-
tlal of one eighth of a cent pound -
refined sugar did not figure In the Huxt-
ness just now. Domestic competition was
so sharp as to keep out all foreign sugar.
Asked if the removal OF the one-eighth
cent would affect the business now, he
said he did not know enough about the
tariff TO say.
Mr.. JarVie said there had been many
overtures from the Sugar Trust TO settle
differences with the Arbuckles. but they
had all been made for stock-tobbing
purposes" and, consequently. there had
been nothing In them.
THE COFFEE BUSINESS.
The witness. in speaking OF the coffee
business in which the American Sugar
Refinery had invaded the ArbuclNles' field.
said that while there had been decline
In prices, IL would not be fair TO lay
It all to competition, as there had been
a great increase in coffee production all
over the world, last years crop going
from II, 900 coo to 100000 bags.
Asked If he could suggest any plan That
would lessen the present destructive COM
petition i'm the sugar business, witness
said that the fight could only stop when
the one big concern decided to be con-
tent with less than 100 per cent. OF all
the business in the country.
when asked how long the rival COM
panes could keep on selling sugar at
loss Mr. Jarvie replied cheerfully that
he thought a concern supplying 80 per
cent. of the sugar sold In this country
would lose more under these conditions
than the firm supplying the other 10 per
cent, and that he had the 10 per cent.
end of the bargain now.

strikers Prevent Many of Them from
Going tO Work.

PITTSBURG. KAN. June 1.-THE
threat of the coal-mine operators TO i'm
port negroes to take the places OF the
striking union miners was made good to-
day, when the Western Coal and Mining
Company, which Is the corporation
through which the Missouri Pacific rail-
road operates its mines, brought in l5I Ne
groes from Tennessee and Alabama and
unloaded them at Fleming, where stock
AIDES had been built around the Missouri
Pacific mines.
The union men were out In force to
meet the negroes, and endeayored with
considerable success 10 prevent them from
going TO work. Among the union men
were many negroes who had been brought
I'D from the South during the strike Of
1893, and these were largely instrumental
in keeping many of the newcomers out
OF the stockades. The result was that
only a few OF the imported negroes, those
having families and being destitute. went
into the stOckade. There was no disturb
ance.
