LEADVlLLE MINES.
Scarcity of Oxidized Iron Ore-Foreign
Market for Zinc.

Scarcity of Oxidized Iron Ore-Foreign
Market for Zinc.
From statements made by mining and
smelter men there Is Il decided scarcity
of Oxidized iron at present, and the
smelters are not able to obtain Il sutfi-
cient supply for fiuxing purposes says
the Leadville Democrat. This
shortage is no doubt accounted for by
the shutting down of many of the prin-
cipal sources of supply in Lake county.
owing to the surface water drowning
many shafts of Iron. Carbonate and
Fryer hills. where II large portion of
the iron is obtained. In addition to this
scarcity there is just coming into mar
ket Il quantity of silicious ore from the
Resurrection and IbeX. which naturally
increases the demand for the fuXing
material.
There have been no new develop
ments of Importance in the zinc stua-
tion here lately, although the various
parties who are working on the differ
ent propositions expect to accomplish
something in the future. SO far as
known no returns have been received
here with reference to the shipments
sent TO Antwerp and Swansea, but
from what can be learned they We're
entirely successful. In fact ore carry
ing 4J per cent. zinc and not too high IL
percentage of iron can be prOtitably
shipped across the water. The zinc
smelters in this country are willing to
treat zinc ores but the iron must be
practically eliminated. The foreign
smelters, by special processes. can
treat zinc ores carrying n higher per
cent. Of iron. which means the opening
of profitable market across the water.
A vigorous policy of development has
been inaugurated at the Yak tunnel.
This is one of the most Important en-
terprises in the camp, in the develop
ment of an immense amount of virgin
territory. and in the elucidatiOn OF
many knotty geological problems con-
nected with the Breeze hill formations.
or course the Yak people are not con-
ducting a scientific exploration. The
primary object is to find ore. but the
knowledge of geological conditions
thus gained Is of the greatest practical
value in future work.
Commencing to-day Mr.. s. W. Mudd
of the Small Hopes Mining Company
will assume the active management of
the property Of the Ibex Mining Com
pany. Mr.. Campion will retain the gen
eral management OF the property with
which he has been always Identified
and In which he Is so heavily interest
ed. and will generally control its pol
Icy. His large outside interests, how
ever necessitatc his absence from the
city n large portion of the time, and
the active supervision of the work will
therefore devolve ON Mr.. Mudd. who
really takes the place of Mr.. Bulkley,
recently resigned.
The news of Mr.. Mudd's selection as
the active manager of the great Breeze
hill gold propcrty will be quite II sur
prise to mining men. but no one will
question the wisdom of the selection
or the sound business policy which die
tated II. Since the early sos Mr. Mudd
has been identified with some Of the
largest enterDrises In the district. notn-
bly, the Small Hopes. and his success In
the management OF this and other
mines has been conspicuous.

DAWSON CITY BURNED,
List of the Principal Losses and Other De-
calls.


Victoria, b. c.. May 21.-The main
portion of the city of Dawson was de
strOyed by fire on April 26th, causing
loss of $1,OOO,OOO. In all, III build
ings, including the Bank Of British
North America, were burned.
The news was brought down by L.
s. Hume. Il son of Mayor Hume OF Sc
tile; j. Toklas. and third party,
who left Dawson OH April 18th and
made their way out by canoe to Lake
Lebarge and then over the ice, hav-
ing most perilous trip.
Toklas reports that the fire occurred
on April Goth, in the very heart of the
business center of the city. commenc-
ing near the opera house, on the water
front. and spreading with unusual
rapidity. 1t was driven by strong
north wind, destroying everything in
Its way on that street down and in
Guiding DOnahue Il Smiths establish
ment.
The fire then took in all of the water
front buildings abreast of the same
blocks. 1t crossed the street, burned
through and spread over to Second
street. covering the principal business
portion of Dawson, leaving II all in
ashes. with the firemen helpless and
powerless to do anything.
The fire consumed everything, from
Timmin's Royal cafe down to and op-
posite the Fnirview hotel, the build
ings being rs dry rs tinder. The
flames spread with such rapidity that
the citizens appeared panic stricken
and unable to save anything in the
way of furniture. goods and clothing.
Nothing In the way of rebuilding can
be done until the opening OF navign-
tion, several weeks now, as there IL
not over 5000 feet of lumber In the
place.
The fire was caused by drunken
woman upscttlng a lamp In notori-
Gus house. None of the big ware
houses of the Alaska Commercial Com
pany or the North American Trading
and Transportation Company were
touched by the fire. so there will he no
shortage of provision. even II the lakes
should not open before the middle of
June, which is now predicted.
The heaviest losers by the fire are
Messrs. Mcclellan Il McFeely OF this
city and of Vancouver. who had an
immense stock of iron and tlnware
and miners supplies. taken In Mt heavy
expense. and the Bank of British
North America. whose rather fiimsy

OFFER MADE TO F,LIPlNos.
Commission Sends Written Proposal :,
Islanders.

~ 18lanOerD.
Manila, May % (3:15 p. m.)-Profes-
Bor Schurman, head of the United
States Philippine commission, has sub
mitted the following written PROPOSE
ton to the Filipinos:
"While the final decision as to the
form of government Is in the hands of
Congress, the President, under his mil
itary powers, pending the action of
Congress, stands ready to offer the fol-
lowing form of government:
IA governor general to be appointed
by the President; a Cabinet to be ap-
pointed by the governor general; all
the judges to be appointed by the Pres
ident; the heads Of departments and
judges to be either Americans or Fill
,pinos or both, and also general ad-
visory council, it's members to be chos-
en- by the people by form Of suffrage
to be hereafter carefully determined
upon.
THE President earnestly desires that
bloodshed cease and that the people of
the Philippines at an early date enjoy
the largest measure of self-government
compatible with peace and order"
The United States commission pre-
pared the scheme and the President
caDled his approval of the form Of the
document. The Filipinos have made
no definite proposition except for n ces-
sation of hostilities until they can pre-
sent the question of peace to the peo-
pie. Professor Schurman told the Fill
pinos they had no means of gathering
the people together, as the Americans
control most of the ports. He also re-
minded them that liberal form of
government was offered them, and
pointed out that it was better than the
conditions existing under Spanish rule
GOZaga, president of the Filipino
commission, replied that nothing could
be worse than Spanish rule and admit
ted that the form of government pro-
posed was liberal.
The civilian members Of the Filipino
commission have declined to cooperate
with the other members Of that COM
mission, as the former consider Aguin-
aldO's latest demand to be preposter-
Gus, after General Otis refusal Of an
armistice, referring to his wish for time
in order to consult the Filipino Con-
gress. After a conference tomorrow
with the United States commissioners,
the Filipino commissioners will lunch
with Professor Schurman and will aft
erward visit the vessels composing the
American fleet.

Them Cared for During the Winter.
An amusing phase Of Parisian life
has excited attention this week owing
to the advent of better weather. For
several days past the state pawnshops
have received the visits of a stream Of
bicyclists, come to redeem the wheels
which they pledged at the beginning Of
the winter.
10 house bicycle during the inclem-
ent season is comparatively costly in
Paris. AS n result, the ingenious en-
thusiast has found that the cheapest
way out of the difficulty is to confide
his machine to the pawnshop. All he
has to pay is the trifiing interest on the
money advanced him. The expedient.
moreover. is as excellent as 1t is cheap.
The pawnshop never is sure that 1t
will not have to sell the bicycle In Or
der to recover the loan and consequent
ly it takes utmost care of the machines
entrusted to it, carefully housing them
in dry rooms and keeping them well
oiled and attended to. The accommo-
dations of the state pawnshops have
been tested to the utmost during the
past winter and as the transactions
are far from profitable the manage
ment is sorely perpleXed by this un-
foreseen demand on its services.

Manila.
Manila, May 21.-The cruiser Olym.
piia, with Admiral Dewey on bonrds
left here on her homeward journey to
the United States at o'clock yester-
day afternoon.
AS she steamed away, the Oregon,
Baltimore and Concord fired nm ad-
miral's salute. At the first shot the
band on the flagship played lively air
and the crew crowded the decks and
gave thunderOus cheers. AS the Olym-
pia passed the Oregon, the crew of that
battleship gave nine cheers for the
Olympians, who responded by throw
ing their caps SO high that dozens Of
them were left bobbing in the wake of
the cruiser.
Then followed the noisiest half hour
known in this harbor since the battle
which linked it's name with that of
Dewey
The din Of guns and brass bands
echoed through the smoke. feet of
steam launches shrieked their whis-
ties, the musicians of the Baltimore
played "Home, Sweet Home" her flags
signaled Good bye" and those of the
Oregon said pleasant voyage"
The merchant vessels in these waters
dipped their flags, the ladies on the
decks of the vessels of the fleet waved
handkerchiefs and the great black
British cruiser Powerful, which lay the
furthest out, saluted the Olympia. The
latter's band played God Save the
Queen" and to this the crew of the
Powerful responded with hearty
cheers for the Olympia.
The last music heard from Admiral
Dewey's ship was "Auld Lang Syne,"
yNyt In f1,< 81, Crry
lite and from the Monterey on guard off
Paranique, too far to be audible, puff
ed white clouds of smoke.
The Olympia was disappearing past
CorregidOr island when IL battery be-
fore the walled city spoke Manila's last
word of farewell.
Admiral Dewey sat on the deck of
the Olympia and received the adieus
OF his friends during most of the day.
The launch of General Otis was first to
arrive alongside the cruiser at o'clock
this morning, and afterwards the ad-
miral landed and called upon the majOr
general and the United States Philip
pine commission. Admiral Dewey Is
enthusiastic over his home going, but
when mention was made of the well
come to be extended to him he said he
appreciated the friendship of his coun-
Try men deeply. but hoped they would
not be too demonstrative. He intends
to go directly to his home at Montpe-
iier, Vermont, and live there.
On 1t being said that people wanted
him to 90 home by way of San Fran
| cisco and across the continent, the nd-
miral replied: IF 1 was twenty years
younger and had political ambitions, 1
would not miss that chance"
Speaking of the situation, Admiral
Dewey said: II believe we are near the
end. The insurgents are fast going to
pieces. The sending of a third COM
mission shows that they believe this
commission means business"
Captain Walker of the Concord, the
last of the commanders in battle here.
went to the admiral and said: Don't
leave me behind" So he was relieved
and goes home on the Olympia.
