Precious Stones

Washington. July 14.-Precious stones
to the value of $3.50, 800 We're found in the
United States in 1898, as compared with
$136, 675 in 1897. George r. kunz, the agent
for the geological survey. in charge of
the collection of data relative to the pro-
duction of precious stones in thisc country,
deals at length in his annua report with
the finding of rock crystal at Mokelumne
hill. California, of such purity and size as
to almost rival the Japanese. II the sue

States up to over seven inches in dame

yielding Of fine blue gems up to two car

cality where the stones are more varied
in color han those heretofore found, the
continued output of the New Mexico tur-
Quoise mines and the opening up of mines

Lumber Price Higher.

Minneapolis, Mimi, July 14.--The Times
says: Hard wood lumber has advanced
during the past year at an exceedingly
rapid rate and h price is now Higher
than ever. before in the history of the
trade in this city. Previous ito 1899 the
price Of hard wood was rig0aer in 1892
thar at any other time. This. year, how
ever has left 1852 far in the shade and the
advances have put the price at
from 25 ger cent to SO per cent higher
than those Of 1892. This recent status of
the price is due to the shortage of supply
of northern grown hard wood and t he
rapidly increasing demand The business
up to date this year has beert' from 30 to
40 per cent larger than last year and
seems to be on the Increase Pr-ces this
year are from 81 to IS higher than last
year. Every variety of hard wood has
been effected and all have gone up'above
the previous maximum. 1t is possible
that still further advances will be made.
but this depends largely upon the manu-
factuiers. A big concern in this city
was able to purchase white oak last year
at $22 a thousand feet. Last week the
firm offered 1872 a thousand for a large
amount but was told that it could not
have the wood for less than $34.

criticisms Are Found to
Be Without Merit.
A FULL INVESTIGATION
Commissioner Evans Aided the Com
mittee in Every Possible Way in
Getting at the True Facts tn the
Cases Brought Up.

Washington. July 13.-The pension
committee of the G. A. II. ended it's in
ouiry here this afternoon and most Of its
members left the city tonight. The COM
mittee has been here three days. and dur
ing most of the time has been accom-
panied by Senior Commander in Chief
Johnson. Commissioner of Pensions
Evans and a corps of the most expert
enced employees of the bureau have given
the most thorough cooperation to the
committee, placing themselves and all
the official files at it's disposal.
Headed by Chairman Brown. the COM
mittee called at the white house today.
and for an hour and a half were engaged
in conference with President Mckinley.
During that time they threshed over the
whole pension policy. the discussion
comprehending the laws governing the
system, the rulings made both by the in
terror department and the pension bureau
for their execution and changes desired
in the interest of the government and of
the pensioners. The president paid un-
usual attention to the delegation and
gave free expression to his views on the
subject.
Later the body returned to the pension
bureau, where they spent most of the af-
ternoon talking over matters informally
with the commissioner. All the Old sol
diers widow employed in the office were
called together to meet the committee,
before whom they passed in line and ex-
changed friendly salutations. Late this
afternoon a final meeting of the commit
tee was held in the hotel quarters, when
individual views and recommendations
We're presented and an informal consul
tation held as to the nature of the repOrt
to be made. This %unle will be pre-.
scented at the Philadelphia annua en-
campment of the G.. A. r. in September.
Pending the report, Colonel Johnson
the committees spokesman, and his col
leagues, declined absolutely to discuss
their work or the results of their inquiry.
1t was admitted. however. that much
that has been printed concerning the ac-
ton of the bureau has been foun UNI
true. The examination of the files has
shown a lack of foundation for many
complaints that have formed the basis of
criticisms. 1t was learned before the
committees departure that when it ar
rived here it had a memorandum of about
80 cases in which the rulings had been
criticised. The papers in the cases We're
sent for in regular order. and it is under
stood disclosed substantially no founda-
ton for the attacks on the official action
on them.

Government Will
Not Take a Hand.
DENIAL HAS BEEN MADE
That the United States Will Help
Great Britain in Securing Mere
Rights For charlottesville Ia
StructiOnS to HOWiSOn,

New York. July IA special to the
Herald from Washington says: Although
taking no active part in the effort to o.
tain redress for the Outlanders in the
Transvaal, the administration undoubt-
edly sympathizes with Great Britain in
the endeavor to obtain concessions from
President Kruger. Information in the
state department shows the Americans
in business in the South African republic
are restricted as are the other ~outlanders.
This information is not a protest from
Americans. but has been furnished by
consular officers who, under instructions,
are carefully following the negotiations
between the British and Boer govern
ments. American cOnsuls' functions do
not extend to diplomatic representations,
and this government would not care to
antagonize Great Britain by making di-
rect representations to the Transvaal's
government, with whose external rela-
tons the British government is charged
under a treaty with the Boer republic.
Any negotiations, therefore, would of ne
cessity have to pass through the of
st. James.
The United States is watching the pres
ent negotiations between the British and
Transvaal governments with consider
able anxiety, as any satisfactory conclu-
sion will benefit not only the British and
Americans, but other foreigners as we'll.
The report that Rear Admiral Howison,
who went to Pretoria from Delagoa bay
and will rejoin his flagship, the Chicago,
at Cape Town, is under Instructions to
make diplomatic representations to the
BOer government in the interests of
Americans. is declared untrue at both the
navy and state departments, where it is
said no Instructions to Admiral Howison
to make the trip has been issued. Under
the naval regulations, an officer in for
eign territory is required to make a report
upon everything of interest to the United
States. sc that it is expected that the
admiral will send to Washington a full
report of the conditions ne finds in the
Transvaal.
No representation has been made to the
state department., as reported from Pre-
toria, touching the alleged intention OF
the Americans in the Transvaal to be-
come British citizens to avoid impress
ment in the Boer army.

Grangeville, Aug. Is, 1889.
Grangeville is particularly lucky
in the arrival in our city of two
talented ladies in the persons of the
Misses Clara Kuehl aud Alma
Holdenreid, of Wisconsin, who
have arrived here with the inten-
tion of opening elaborate dress
making parlors. The ladies are
splendid cutters and filters and
have the latest Eastern effects and
fashions which they propose to
place at the disposal of their pa
irons. They will make their head
quarters at Mrs. Edward Hauger's
residence on South State street.
A correspondent writing from
Dixie states that there is a big
crew on the Great Eastern mine in
that camp working night and day
shifts, and that party of capital
lists are expected in daily to ex.
anime the Gavin Johnston proper
ties. The Red river dredge is run
ming steadily with highly satisfac-
tory results and Is a fine piece of
machinery and Is being operated
by expert hands. Elk City is very
dull, and our correspondent saws
there are more men employed on
the Newsome creek quartz proper
ties than in any other camp on
that side Of the Clearwater.
Colonel Hammill, right of way
agent for the o. r. & N. has
closed deal for the right Of wav
survey through tire town Of Willola.
Depot grounds were also included
in the deal. Willola is situated ON
this side of Clearwater, opposite
Agatha, on a beautiful piece Of
ground. The town Of Willola is
just fairly started and has a pener-
al store, harness shop, blacksmith
shop, grain warehouse, furniture
store and hotel. There are good
roads with easy grades into will
lola, and the farmers on the reser.
walton are availing themselves of
these advantages by hauling much
grain into the town.
