Sir Wilfrid Laurier'S Warlike Talk
Stirs Up Much Comment.
ALL OVER THE BOUNDARY
UNITED STATES HAS NO FEAR
OF A RESORT TO ARMS.
Believes That the Question Will Be
Settled By Mutual Concessions
Being Maoe-English Papers Ad-
wise the Canadians to Assume a
Little Less Belligerent Attitude.

New York. July PA special to the
Herald from Washington says: There
will be neither war nor arbitration over
the Alaskan boundary dispute. 1t will
be settled by amicable agreement, both
the United States and Great Britain
making concessions This is the view
expressed by an official having much
to do with the pending negotiations.
Referring to Sir Wilfrid Laurier'S
speech in the Canadian house of COM
mons, in which the Canadian premier
declared there were only two ways by
which the difficulty could be settled, ar
bitration or war, the official said sig
nificantly:
Sir Wilfrid is simply stating TO the
Canadian parliament the recognized
methods by which civilized nations set
tie controversies. There are three meth
DDS: First. by mutual agreement; sec
ond, by a resort to arbitration third,
by war. Sir Wilfrid has neglected TO
mention the first and most important of
these methods"
1t is recognized by the administration
that the boundary question is diff
cult one, as are other questions pending
between Canada and the United States,
but it is not regarded as impossible of
adjustment in some way satisfactory to
the American miners and the Canadian
government as well as the United
States and Great Britain. Some of the
questions at issue are more or less in
dependent. and it was intimated that
there was reason TO hope a final set
tlement of the boundary controversy
might grow out of this relation between
the pending questions

SURPRISED AT LAURIER.
Regret In Canada That He Should
Allude to Possibility of War.

New York, July PA special to the
World from Toronto says: Professor
Goodwin Smith. after reading Premier
Laurier's' speech upon the Alaskan
boundary dispute, said:
Il am surprised and sorry Sir Will
fred should have even alluded to the
possibility of war over the Alaskan
boundary question. 1t would be dis
grace to craftsmanship if it We're pos
sible that war should break ont be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States about such a matter.
The question is not pressing. All
that is Immediately wanted is some
joint arrangement for the preservation
of order in the disputed territory.
After a little reflection and everybody
has had time to cool, means will be
found for a settlement of the question
in an amicable way.
Il have thought from the beginning
that it would have been better if the
Alaskan question had not been mixed
up with other questions, such as reel
procity questions. with which it had
nothing to do Let the Alaskan bOun
Diary question be kept apart, and let
the conference on commercial reciproc-
ity proceed. The two things, / repeat.
have nothing to do with each other"
There is a great deal of talk about
general elections in Canada being held
next fall. 1t is reported that the Laurler
government decided before Minister OF
Public Works Tarte left for England
few weeks ago to appeal to the coun-
try, and word comes from different
provinces that preparations are being
made for general elections.

STANDS BY HIS STATEMENT.
Laurier Will Not Retract or Qualify
One Single Word.

New York, July PA special to the
Herald from ottawa says: Sir Wiifrid
Laurier's speech in the house of COM
mons relative to the Alaskan boundary
dispute with the United States. has at
tracted great interest all over the do
minion, and it is everywhere regarded
as of high significance and Importance.
My position in regard to this matter
of the boundary dispute" said Sir Will
frid Laurier tonight, has not altered
since l stated it on May 80. We are
willing to refer the question to any
commission of arbitration that would
be acceptable to any civilized nation or
set of honorable men.
LAS to the order of reference. we
maintain that the precedent set by the
United States is one to which they
should not in fairness object in this dis
pute, and that is the reference in the
Venezuelan boundary dispute.
My views upon the present unsatis-
factory statement of negotiations look
ing toward submission of the question
of arbitration were fairly set forth in
the remarks l made in the house OF
commons yesterday. / cannot add any
thing to them, nor do l wish to retract
or qualify one word which 1 uttered
upon that occasion"

A syndicate of Kentucky capitalists,
headed by NJ. Dougherty of Louisville,
have closed a deal for a bond and
lease on the Bully Boy group at Bing-
ham. The papers were signed last
Saturday, and the purchase price
named is $25, 600. Under the conditions
OF the bond the buyers have ninety
days to make certain explorations and
perform certain work upon the prop
erty. At the expiration of the stated
time, if it is decided to take up the
bond, a payment of $12,50O is TO be
made.
The property is located in the south
end of the West Mountain mining dis
trict, lying between the Condor and
Silver Shield groups, adjoining the
Niagara ground, now owned by the
United States Mining company.
MI Dougherty came down from the
property Sunday afternoon, and it is
understood it is the intention of him
self and associates TO begin the devel
opment of the ground very soon on
large scale.
From q gentleman who was on the
ground a few days ago, it is learned
that the property has a good showing
of ore, with favorable indications of
developing into something pretty big

THE ore bodies are simply immense, ;"
said he, land are too big to talk about
with, any accuracy, as a person must
see the mine TO arrive at any concep-
ton of its size"
The professor has not visited the
mine for several months, and although
he knew there had been a big ore body
disclosed yet he could hardly realize
what he saw yesterday was true.
Manager McCarrick has changed the
old order of gophering, and under his
direction the mine has been system
atically developed.
Last fall the Jumbo stope was start
ed. combined with few drifts and
raises. Today, in this Slope, a breast

which 5,400 tons of milling ore have
been extracted and concentrated, be-
sides that taken out to make up sew
eral shipments. So far neither wall has
been exposed, and with no cross-cuts
in evidence. the size OF the ore Dodles
is a problem.
The mill is operating successfully and
about forty tons of concentrates are
ready to be sent down to the smelt-.
ers.
Professor Tibbals says there is room
in the mine now to operate with force
of seventy men.
In speaking of the Liberal, the pro-
fessor said it is looking very encour-
aging: the lower tunnel has reached
the length of 400 feet, and the superin-
tendent of the mine has every confl-
dence that pay ore will be encountered
within the next thirty days.
The party also visited the Puritan
group, which has good indications of
making a mine. No work is being
done on the property at present, but
details are being arranged to secure
patent for the ground.

REFUSES TO TALK OF TROUBLE.
Senator Fairbanks Silent As to Sir
Wilfrid Laurier's Utterances.

Washington, July Ex-senator Fair
banks, chairman of the American di-
vision of the high joint commission,
made a brief call upon the president
today, before starting for his home in
Indiana. He declined to discuss the
speech of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, or to
remark upon the situation with refer
ence to the boundary dispute. He con-
firmed the report already given out
that there would be no meeting of the
joint commission on Aug. >. saying that
he and Sir Wilfrid Laurier had last
Friday agreed upon a postponement
for an indefinite period.

ABOUT THE DAISY.
No Action Has Been Taken Towards
Enlargement of Mill.

The story printed in a contemporary
last week that the Daisy Mining COM
pany had decided to enlarge its present
mill and put in a set of air compressors
is an aggregation of misstatements.
No meeting Of the directors was held
last Friday. as the paper stated there
would he, and no meeting will be held
until one is called by President Tib-
balls. who says no action has been
taken towards making any changes.
The matter of charging the plant
has been talked Of among the directors
individually, but no definite plan for
the future has been laid out, officially
or otherwise.
Since the statement published has
been copied by other papers, the di-
rectors feel that the public should know
the facts. as such inaccuracies are apt
TO create harmful impressions.

AMONG MERCUR MINES.
Daisy Development-Golden Gate
Extension Shaft.
Especial Correspondence

Mercur, July 24.-Under the manage
ment of A H. Murphy, the Daisy is
doing better than ever before. While
the mill has been kept running, the
principal work in the mine has been
in opening up new ground, so that 1t
will be ready to furnish a large ton
mage. The putting in of an air COM
pressor, and the introduction of power
drills is part of the plan to increase the
production, and this will be followed up
by an increase in mill capacity.
The new shaft on the Golden Gate
Extension has reached a depth of sixty
feet, and is going down as rapidly as
three shifts can put 1t. 1t Is expected
that the electric hoist will soon be on
the ground, and greater progress VIII
be made. The work here is stirring up
some of the other property-holders IN
that vicinity, and preparations are now
being made to resume work.
The Great Eastern company. which
has done nothing since the disappear
ance of Charles Weber last fall. are
figuring on reSuming operations at an
early date. and will do considerable
prospecting between now and the close
of the year.
A force of men are at work on the
Mollie Gibson, and will soon have the
assessment work completed. IL Is
probable that but little more work VIII
be done before the hot weather has
passed. The work is being done on
the vein, and the indications are that
the vein is the same as that found IN
the Overland, which it adjoins.
At the Northern Light a large ship
ment of high grade ore is being sacked
for shipment, and the mill is grinding
along on about thirty tons of ore daily.
The teaching is very successful, and
but a small percentage of the silver
values are lost The company treasury
is in a good condition. but it is noe
probable that dividends will be paid
until there is a good surplus on hand.

GOLD BUG WORKINGS.
Evanston Men Who Are Pushing Its
Development.
Especial Correspondence.)

Mercur, July PA party from
Evanston, Wyo., consisting of Charles
Stone, J. H. Ward and 1. Castor are in
camp, looking over the workings at
the Gold Bug. The three gentlemen are
large stockholders and officers of the
company, and they are figuring out the
work which they propose doing this
fall. There is a good showing in the
property, and it is the intention to do
extensive development work and get
ready for putting the mine in the rank
of producers.
In cross-cutting the vein at the 400
foot level few days ago. a large body
of oxidized ore was exposed which
shows good milling values, and ap-
pears to be quite extensive. The foot
wall has not yet been reached, but it
is the intention to commence drifting
north and south as soon as the thick
ness of the vein can be ascertained.
Most of the distance from the surface
the incline has been run in the hang
ing wall, and only at stated intervals
cross-cuts across the vein have been
made. The last one shows better val
ues and a larger vein than at any point
above.

AT THE SILVER PARK.
Development Being Pushed Along
By Three Shifts.

Three shifts have been put on at the
Silver Park, near Silver City. Work
there is being pushed along as rapidly
as possible with this force, and the new
shaft has reached a depth of 125 feet.
This is the information brought up
from Tintic yesterday by H. L. Dunn,
d stockholder in the company
The mine is equipped with modern
steam hoist, which was selected by
Manager Ed Loose. The old donkey
hoist, which gave way TO the new one,
has been placed in the tunnel level,
and is being used in the sinking of a
winze on the ore body, which is said
TO contain streaks that are of high
grade class.
The mine has been a producer in the
earlier days, and the present owners
feel confident that with a little more
development they will open into some
ore bodies that will rank with either
of the Swanseas, which are near neigh
bors TO the Silver Park.

Three to Be Shippers.
Especial Correspondence. !


Eureka, July 24.-Three mining COM
panies located here and being indus
triously pushed are attracting more
than average attention just at present.
Reference is made to the Eagle-Blue
Bell, May Day and La Refine. The first
two named are shippers. or have sent
TO market some exceptionally nice ore,
and. as is generally known, are about
ready to send forward TO the Salt Lake
Smelters another car each. The Eagle
Blue Bell product is said to be equally
as good as their first shipment-which
netted the company something over
$4,000. While not a shipper, nor yet
having sent any quantity of ore to mar
ket. the La Refine is known to be in a
chute of copper and silver ore, overlaid
by a silver-lead Gaping that promises,
inevitably, to open to big proportions.
The three mines named are counted as
sure shippers by early fall.

in reserve. in case of failure on the
present lines.
The officials here are in no wise
alarmed at the recent developments a
Ottowa. feeling confident that Sir VIII
frid Laurier's utterance in which he
mentioned the word war as an alter
native TO arbitration was given
meaning not intended by the Canadian
premier.
The strong language attributed to
Sir Charles Upper is not credited 20
the Canadian government, and it Is
realized that great latitude may be al
lowed in viewing the utteranceS of
members of an opposition party.

There Will Be Concessions.

The official who made the suggestion
would not say which nation would
probably make concessions on the
boundary question. or concessions on
some other point the other side would
make in return. 1t is felt by officials
of the administration generally that
while it may take time and the exercise
of considerable patience to work out a
final solution of all the pending ques-
tionS. such a solution will ultimately be
reached in a neighborly spirit and
without any clash or serious Straining
of relations between the two nations.
Senator Fairbanks, whose report on
the Alaska boundary controversy, as
the result of his personal observations.
has had great influence in determining
the policy of the administration, would
not discuss Sir Wilfrid Laurier's speech,
nor would he make any comments on
the present situation. 1t can be said,
however. that Senator Fairbanks is
firmly of the opinion that the boun-
Diary question can be settled by ami
cable agreement, if both sides will eX-
ercise patience.
