Grain shovsisrs Get = ItdvAnps In wages
Buffalo. N. Y, May 14.-The grain
shovelers will return to work to-mOr-
row morning under the agreement
reached this morning at the confer
ence between the Lake Carriers, ele-
vator men and grain shovelers. The
terms of the agreement were reduced
to writing and properly signed tonight
at the residence of Bishop Quigley. 1t
provides that the grain shovelers shall
receive $1.85 per 1000 bushels, that
the contractors shall not receive high
mans pay. that superintendent shall
be appointed by the bishop to guard
the interests of the men, that local
board of arbitrators shall be appointed
to pass upon any grievances that may
arise in the future, and that fourteen
of Contractor ConnOr's boss scOopers
shall be suspended pending an investi-
CATION into the charges made by the
grain shovelers that they are identified
with saloon interests and are other
wise Objectionable.
At meeting of the grain shovelers
held tonight the agreement reached at
the conference was approved.
There are about 3,000,000 bushels of
grain afloat here now 1t is believed
that this will be cleared by the middle
of the week.
Notwithstanding the adjustment of
the grain shovelers' trouble, the labor
situation here, so far as the CONNER
cial interests of the port are concerned,
is threatening. Practically all the coal
and ore handlers. numbering about
1900, are out. The freight handlers,
who struck out of sympathy with the
grain shovelers. now refuse to go back
to work until their wages are raised,
and the men employed in the freight
house, also on strike. likewise refuse
to return until they have secured an
advance in pay.

PROSPECTING WITH A PAN.
Dinicuity of Estimating Value of the De
posit.


The value of pan prospect can only
be determined when every factor in
the case is known. One frequently
hears an expression of satisfaction or
pleasant surprise at the sight of gold
in a pan prospect. with remark as to
its richness or poverty, when the OBJ
server knew nothing whatever of the
quantity of ore or gravel from which
the prospect resulted. 1t may have
been an ounce, it might have been n
pound or more. The value can only be
determined when the relation of the
quantity of material taken to the result
in gold is known. Even when the
quantity of ore or gravel Is known, 1t Is
not always safe to venture guess as
to the value per ton unless one has be-
come familiar with the material by
frequent tests verified by assays, or
treatment in mill or sluice Many
prospectors hazard calculation as to
the value of the ore by counting the
number of cOlOrs, each color represent
ing an arbitrary value per ton, as one
color $1.5O per ton. twelve cOlOrs S1S
etc. How unsafe this is may be read
lily understood when consideration is
given to the fact that the colors. being
very small, usually. give no Indication
of their shape. Light. scaly gold, while
making good showing. will not
weigh up with round. shot-like gold
apparently much inferior in size When
one becomes accustomed to the gold
in any particular mine. he may then
make fair approximation of the value
of his ore by pan prospect: but If he
remove to new locality. all this has to
be learned again by experiment.-Min

A HAPPY POLICEMAN.

The luckiest policeman in the United
States is Thomas Mulvey of Greater
New York. By a curious concentration
of circumstances he finds himself to be
a regular patrolman on a salary of
S1400 a year and at the same time an
eX-patrolman with an annual pension
of $1,000. This gives him quite a COM
Portable little income to keep the wolf
from the door. The envious authorities
undertook to deprive him of one of
these sources of emolument, but the
Appellate Court of New York has de
cided that he is legally entitled to both
of them, and Thomas goes on his beat
rejoicing. He can only be removed,
and reduced to $1,000 a year for cause,
and he will doubtless take care that no
cause shall be found. In this case, GER
tainly, it cannot be said that the lot of
the policeman is not happy one.-Re-

An interesting book has reached

Hawthorne, Nevada, in March, 1897,
and has been passed about the coun-
try ever since. The book is the prop
erty of Miss Lydia J. King of Haw-
thorne, and she sent it on its journey
with the request that railway mail
clerks and postoffice employees should
sign it and if possible stamp it and
send it along. The book has been
all over the West and is now jour
neying about the East. 1t has al
ready many signatures, but is not
yet half full, and it is amusing to
scan the verses of those who hurry
on the mail, One man relieves his
feelings thus:
Standing by the car windows, watching
the distant hills.
I have been wondering, Lydia, how / can
pay my bills.
Here is another specimen written
by a man on the run from Omaha to
Ogden:
We who have tried and again will try
To "split the wood to suit,
Say when q Manila mail comes nigh.
Please send some subs-to-toot.
IF the record can be believed, the
book was in the midst OF an exciting
episode. w. G.. Bruce writes at

must excuse us, as we have just been
held up by five masked highwaymen,
