ance has grown in nineteen years from
S36 600 900 to 1869, 100000, and savings

thing over si,ooo,O00 in ls6S to nearly

Iron and steel industry is being rapidly
developed in Cape Breton, while at the
other end of the dominion the choicest
mineral areas of British Columbia are also
being opened up. Everywhere factories
are working to their capacity and many of
them are increasing their capacity. The
tendency is for employers to look for men
and not men to look for employers. Her
cities show quite as marked an improve
ment in the last one hundred years as
even the most progressive cities lin the
United States; some of them being models
OF all that city should be in architecture
and municipal management.
Canada Is thus rapidly reaching con-
dition OF mind that. even from the ma
terial standpoint of goods and chattels, is
not likely to confirm clever but mislead-
| ing pictures or wordy but worthless pero-
rations. Then, too, those who have chung
! to the idea that she must come our way,
overlook this fact, that while she is held
to the mother country by the lightest
possible ties, in which, owing to the
lesson we gave England, taxation does not
figure al all, yet there is sentiment OF
t unreasonable love to the mother country
on the part OF large proportion OF the
+ population, many of the French Canadians
even sharing in it,
/ Ii is true, some of the younger Canadian
! men grow restless at the idea that If their
coast is threatened England must defend
/ it or that il war goes on within their
! borders England must manage the matter I;
vet these same leaders among the young
| thinkers have no idea of simply escaping
! the leading strings OF the mother in order
j to perform political marriage with our
| selves. Every day sees that become re-
moter possibility, and every .daylsees an
/ increase in Canada's internal strength.
II, therefore, in the past we have con-
soled ourselves with vague ideas that 1t
would be wise to annex territory larger
| than our own, it will perhaps now be well
/ to dismiss the idea altogether from our
minds. 1t takes two to make bargain
and at the crucial moment Canada will be
found unwilling. \ powerful neighbor
is destined to develop on our northern
frontier with rapidity even greater than
that which we have enjoyed. 1t may be
interesting in next weeks Thoughts" to
theorize as to what that development Will
mean both in relation to the mother
country and the world at large.

Yesterday was the anniversary
of the death of Alexander Hamil-
ton in duel with Aaron Burr
July the 18th 1904. Although
almost century has rolled away
since that trsgic.day in American
history, it is hard to read the
story now without regret that so
foolish and damaging a custom
should have ever prevailed in
this country. Had he lived at
this end Of the century instead of
the other end he would not have
died duelist. In view of the
progress Of our government and
especially the events Of the last
year, the student OF history begins
to see and appreciate the true
greatness of Hamilton. His great
ness was simply this: He was the
incarnation of the ideas which
have stood the test of a whole GEN.
tury. He was criticized and hated
by his political opponents with
rancor seldom known, for his ad-
vocacy of strong" government,
central authority in government.
Time has fully vindicated him.
He wanted a mighty irresistible
Nation with capital N and now
we have it. He wanted Cuba and
the whole West Indies wrested
from the hands of the Spanish
spoiler and he believed in "expan-
sion,' and we have come to both
tho at the close of the century in-
stead of the beginning.

WITHOUT SCANDALS.
Secretary Hitchcock on the
Dawes Commission.

Washington, D. c., July TO-
Secretary Hitchcock said today
there was no friction between the
Dawes commission and the inte-
rior department. He admitted
that he bad called for a repor: of
the action and the evidence taken
in the citizenship cases, and said
he expected it to be promptly fur
nished by the commission.
cit may be that there has been
Misrepresentation of the law by
the commission in some matters, /"
said the secretary, "but all that
will be necessary will be to call
the attention of the commission to
this fact. There is no friction
whatsoever, and there is not likely
to be any. The members of the
commission are all good men, and
the commission as a whole is
doing excellent work. They have
difficult task, and undoubtedly
there are some persons in the ter
ritory who are seeking to make it
harder by stirring up trouble at
every opportunity.
The laying out OF townsites in
the territory is one of the most
difficult problems with which the
commission has to deal, and is
causing them the most worry.
There are a great number of white
people in the territory who have
made improvements, and who la
Dor under the delusion that they
have vested rights which cannot be
disturbed or infringed upon in the
laying out of townsites. AS mat
ter of fact these people have no
vested rights; they are intruders,
and while it is not intended that
the commission shall deal with
them harshly, it is the intention
to give little heed to theif private
interests where these interests are
directly inimical to the public well
fare. Otherwise the laying out OF
townsites would be an impossible
task. It is my desire TO admins
ter the affairs of the Interior De-
partment without sensation, and
it is my intention that there shall
be no scandals in connection with
it,"

MINERAL LEASES.
Secretary Hitchcock May or
May not Approve Sever
al of Them.

Washington, D. c., July 10.-
Secretary Hitchcock is now CIV
ing the most careful consideration
to the approval of mineral leases
in the Cherokee nation. The ap-
plications of the Cherokee Oil Co. i,
the Cudahy Oil Co., and the Ben
jamin D. Remington Co., have
been reduced so that they now ag-
gregate only 1S1, 900 acres of land
in the nation. This is reduction
of nearly 100000 acres from their
first applications. Richard 9. Ad-
ans, the representative Of the
Delawares here, is continuing his
fight against the approval of these
leases. He has solicited and re-
ceived the assistance OF the Indian
Rights Association. which organiz-
alton has taken an active interest
in the affair, and the greatest pres
sure is being brought to bear on
the secretary by both parties for
and against the approval Of the
leases. Within the last week pro-
tests have been sent to the secre-
tary against the approval Of the
contracts by Hon. R. F. Pettigrew,
chairman OF the Committee on In
dian affairs in the Senate; Hon.
John s. Sherman, chairman Of
the Committee on Indian affairs of
the House of Representatives;
Charles s. Curtis, Congressman
from Kansas, member OF the Com
mittee on Indian Affairs of the
House; Rev. L. j. Morgan, ex-
Commissioner of Indian Affairs,
and many others. Arrayed on the
other side are powerful interests in
Kansas City, Chicago St. Louis
and New York, which are insist
ing that the leases should be ap-
proved without delay. They are
sustained in their contention by
the decision of Attorney General
Vandeventer, OF the Interior De-
partment The secretary is be-
tween the devil and the deep sea,
so to speak. He has tie matter
under consideration and will prob
ably not render decision for sew
eral weeks. The Indian Rights
Association has caused the publi-
cation Of several lengthy articles
in the Eastern papers showing
reasons why the leases should not
be approved. calling on the secre-
terry of the Interior to carry out
the provisions of the Curtis law
which requires the segregation of
157 900 acres of land in the Chero-
kee nation to be set aside before
any oil, gas, coal or other mineral
leases are approved. Correspond
ence South McAlester Capital.

Plaintiffs Case Rested-Defense Will
Open On Monday-Petition In
Voluntary Bankruptcy Filed.

In the case of the Nevada company
VS.. PhiIo T. Farnsworth, the forenoon
yesterday was mainly occupied in the
cross-examination by Senator RawIins
of 7. G. Phelps Stokes, one of the
directors of the Nevada company.
The whole course of the gentleman's
direct examination was gone over with
out. however, either breaking his
original testimony or eliciting n
material new facts. In referring to the
interview in this city between Farms
worth. the witness and others OF The.
Nevada company on July % last, Mr..
Rawlins asked AR Stokes sf he had
not then told Farnsworth that if
Farnsworth would nOt concede the de-
mandS OF the Nevada cOmpanyit would
ruin MIN in his church. The witness,
replying. said hat he did not think
he had, but stated that he had said
something to Farnsworth about Farms
worth's relations with his church, but
not that It would ruin him. He had
said something about F-arnsworth's
financial relations with the church, but
certainly not that it would ruin his
relations with his church or ruin the
church or anything of that sort.
Defining what he meant by it" in
this connection, the witness said thai,
'it" was a piece OF the grossest dis
honesty on the part of Farnsworth, a
prominent member of the Mormon
community.
William Mccullough, treasurer of
the Nevada comDany, was examined
for the plaintiff which closed the plain
tins case and further hearing went
over until Monday when the defense

Cvaniding

Although 1898 is a disappointment
relative to the gold yield obtained
through the medium Of cyaniding, the
total gold thus obtained is double that
of the previous year. The cyaniding
yield may be conservatively estimated
at 90. $50 unc gold Inc 1900 ounces
silver, by far the greater proportion IS

Three mills were put III commission in
the Mercur section during the last
twelve months-De Lamar, Daisy and
Chloride Point-and one at Bingham
Old Jordan. The La Cigale and over
land plants were not started up in time
to contribute to the 1898 output. The
big De Lamar mil. though it began
operations early in the summer, is but
just getting in smooth running trim
for normal work. For the most part,
TIE entire year was devoted to over
coming mechanical obstacles in the
preparation Of the ore for the teaching
tanks, mainly in connection with faul-
ty construction Of the roasting fur
naces. 1t is said these troublesome an
noyances are nearing an end, with
in a few weeks 200 tons per diem, at
least, viii be treater The Mercur
mill at Mining is just n
larged with the intent of putting
through acc tons a dag, in place Of 800
or less, as was the capacity the year
past. There probably will be three new
mills, a-ggregating $50 tons daily
capacity, erected in the Mercur region,
early the approaching season, while

The intricacies of cyaniding are far

duction from this treatment Will be

The foregoing summaries include an
accounting for all the gold and silver
produced in the state, with the eXcep-
ton o. the yield from the Ontario tail
ings treated at the Marsac mill. which
is given under the Park City review;
the pan 2"malgamating mills at Tin
tic-Eureka Hill, Mammoth and Sioux,
which probably afforded 16.400 ounces
gold n 1,470,G0 ounces silver. and
small mills at Gold Mountain, State
line, Henry mountains, Blue noun
tains, the total yield of which is not
o~btainable, and was of small moment,
as they were running chiefly on eX-
perimental tests.
This ends the general story of the
yield Of the mines.
