Miss frankie Flormen's Discovery In
the At1in District.

TACOMA, Wash, June 25.-Miss frankie
Florrnen, of the Black Hills, s. D., has dis
covered what Atln mining men believe will
become the greatest quartz mine In Alaska
and British Columbia. 1t consists OF ore
vein from 200 to 600 feet in width and nearly
a mile long. In its course this immense vein
is intersected by Atlin City. The ledge is a
true hssure OF free milling ore. with hang
ing wall of serpentine and a foot wall Of
quartzite. The largest surface assay is s27
and many assays average IS. making IL much
richer than the famous Treadwell mine. IL
these values continue with the depth. To
determine this shafts are now being sunk.
Miss Flormen, her father and friends have
located claims covering the entire ledge. 1t
was discovered by her two months ago.
while she was hunting for mineral. She has
been prospecting in Atlin for some time with
her father. who Is well-known mining ex-
pert. After making her first location Miss
Flormen superintended the work Of strip
ping the ledge TO determine its extent. She
has also acquired site for a steam Mill and
has water rights. Frank Baker, a prom
inert Atlin operator has bonded her interest

view OF getting rid Of one feature, which is
not considered advantageous. The first half
Of the voluminous paper is merely a sum-
mary action on the part OF the United
States in the matter. The proposal itself
follows:
Private property of all the citizens or
subjects OF the signatory powers. with the
exception Of contraband Of war, shall be ex-
empt from capture or seizure on the high
seas or elsewhere by the armed vessels or
by the military forces of any OF the said

fact that the circular of Count Muravieff
excludes extraneous matters. say: The fact

LONDON, June 25.-The firm attitude OF
Great Britain appears to be having the de-
sired effect in the Transvaal complica-
tions. The latest cablegrams from South
Africa talk Of various semi-official mis-
sions for negotiations between Cape Town,

or six years past residence. President
Kruger is represented as agreeable TO some
such arrangement. but is finding consider

Nothing to Indicate the Convention
Will Nominate To-Day.

LOUISVILLE, KY, June 25.-Up to late
hour tonight there is no sign Of an agree
ment between any two Of the Democratic
candidates for Governor. and 1t seems likely
that the first ballot taken when the state
convention meets tomorrow morning will
result just about as did the eleventh on Sat-
urday night. Candidates and their managers
have been on the go all day. out Of one con-
ference into another. but so far to no pur-
pose. The 1892 delegates in the convention
are divided so nearly evenly that there is
not difference of thirty votes in the
strength OF the three candidates-Stone,
Goebel and Hardin. But of these Goebel Is
the strongest because Of the solidity OF his
support. He controls his following abso-
lutely and can vote them for himself or
throw them to either of his opponents at
will Neither Stone nor Hardin can do this.
and for that reason neither is In a position
TO make advantageous terms.
There has been a break In the Stone
Goebel combination since the balloting be-
gan, caused primarily by the action Of
Goebel's managers In voting the seventy
votes of Louisville solidly for the Kenton
county leader on the first ballot. The Stone
people say their understanding was that
vote was to be divided equally between Stone
and Goebel. but the latter. it Is said. pro-
duced a written agreement covering the
combination of the two forces up to tenn
porary organization but containing no men,
ton OF tee Louisville delegation. Chagrined
as the Stone people are at the failure OF the
combination promptly TO effect the nonina-
ton OF their candidate. IL Is not believed
they can. in spirit Of revenge, bring about
the nomination Of Hardin. They threatened
TO try this when Goebel showed such sur
prising strength on the first ballot and went
so far as TO start a stampede. but Goebel's
nerve and coolness checkmated IT. On the
other hand the Hardin people cannot throw
their strength solidly 10 Stone. for they are
divided In the matter OF a second choice and,
as was the case yesterday. many would go 70
Goebel in case Of a break.
A noteworthy feature Of the contest Is the
Hardin campaign Coming into the conven-
ton with hundred votes short of a major
