The "Columbian" Mine

In the columbian group of claims
the greatest amount of development
work has been done on the Amy
Ida F. Columbian and Lille"
which are located end to end and
cover 5000 feet in length of the main
Columbian vein.
This vein is very strong one, from
six to ten feet in width, and has been
traced by outcroppings on the hill and
by shafts and tunnels on the vein a
distance of over 5000 feet cling
development work on each one of the
above four claims. This vein is cut at
right angles by Rosedale gulch, and
the hills on either side rise very steep
ly. affording fine opportunity for the
development of the vein by tunnels.
The top of the hill is some 700 feet
above the lower tunnel and the slope
of the hill is from 81 to "a degrees.
There are two principal tunnels on
the columbian" vein. The lower one
is 1870 feet in, with a cross-cut 80 feet
to the west. The upper tunnel, &c feet
vertically above the lower one. is $50
feet in. 1t starts on a very strong out
crop and follows the vein, showing
quartz more than the full width Of
the tunnel for 1854 feet. A cross-cut at

The Golden Charm" Mine

The Golden Charm" mine is situa-
ted about one and one-quarter miles
from the columbian" in a southerly
direction, and has been worked by two
tunnels to a depth of lS6 feet. Some
$4,000 has already been extracted from
this mine las per exhibit below, af-
fording profit of 70 per cent Of tbs
gross earnings. This vein shows up in
the lower level strong and of good
value, with body of ore 80 feet along
the back of this level, and SO feet high,
ready to be stopped out. 1t consists of
a pay streak of from four to ten inches
of ore, assaying from $40 to 5000 gold
per ton. On either side of this pay
streak there is a gangue matter, av-
eraging a total of five feet in width.
the screenings of which carry from
SIS to 500 in gold and silver per ton,
and amount to about three-tenths of
the gangue matter.

AguinaIdo Wants Peace With Dignity or
Will Continue The Fight.

Manila. May IS p. M-The Filipino
ENJOYS Manuel Argeulles and Lieut..
Jos. Bernal have abandoned the pre-
tense under which they came to Gen.
Otis that they represented Gen. An
tonic Luna, and, today. they announced
that they came as representatives of
Aguinaldo himself. The two emissar-
les used all their wiles to secure a re-
ply from Gen. Otis to the letter from
senior Habini, Aguinaldo's prime min
lister and minister of foreign affairs
in the dictator's cabinet, which they
presented TO Gen. Otis, yesterday; but
Gen. Otis refused TO make any reply,
on the ground that to do so would be
equivalent TO q recognition of the So
called government of the Filipinos.
Major Arguelles said that Aguinaldo
knew he would be overpOwered in time
but that ne would be able to continue
the fight for months and that he would
do 50 unless he was given what Major
ArguelIes termed peace with dignity.
Mr.. Schurman, the president of the
United States Philippine commission,
| expresses the opinion that the inter-
views accorded by Gen. Otis to the Fill
| ipino ENJOYS will have a good moral
effect, as tending to convince Aguinal-
| dos representatives that the American
| authorities mean to give the FilipinoS
2 good government and not one Of the
| Spanish sort. Certainly it has had a
civilzing influence in inducing them to
observe the amenities Of war and con-
sent to the Americans furnishing food
for American prisoners.
The exodus Of natives from
the insurgent lines continues. By
in in Nyh 20

vanced beyond Apilit. General Hale

At Balibos. last evening. there was

Ire next instant there was a second
distinct shock as the wood in the di-

mcut later there was another crash
ana the digester was hurled through

through the outside wall. 50 violent
was the shock that the digester went

three or four feet Of the rear end pro-
truded through the wall beyond.
At the time Of the explosion Eugene
Cane was unloading coal in the rear
of the boiler room. He had backed his
team into the boiler room but when
the noise of the explosion came the
horses being frightened, started on
the run. Mr.. Cane was partially car
ried out by the force of the explosion
and when he fell to the ground a beam
fell on him. This and a steam pipe on
the boiler probably prevented his be-
