Very Little Gas Wasted.

The gas well finished yesterday by
the Cement company was in several
ways record breaker. 1t was fin
ished in nine days from the time the
drill was started, nine days of TWEEN
by-four hours each. But the impor
tant feature was the fact that within
an hour from the time that drilling
operations ceased the well was closed
down tight. For one short hour only
was the immense volume of gas al
loved to go to waste. Old residents
will remember distinctly that the
first big well discovered here blew of
at full head for two weeks before the
owner shut it in, partly because OF
the difficulty but more because of the
bad management, When an open
we'll means the waste of such an I'M
mense quantity of good fuel it is a
crime to waste it and the precedent
established by the Cement company
of having everything on the ground
ready for the shutting off would be a
good one to follow.

church and parsonage and the beauti-
full Lathrop school, across the street

small fires had been started within a
radius of three or four blocks; 20
families had been rendered tempo
rarily homeless, and property valued
at $4,000 was destroyed.
Gross carelessness on somebody's
part is given as the primary cause foI
the destruction of the beautiful build

Washington, Oct. 2-The Chi.
nese minister has delivered to the
state department official confrma.
ton OF the degradation OF Prince
Tuan aud many other Chinese lead
ers. The following official state.
ment is made as to Minister Wu's
dispatch:
A cablegrsm received from Direc-
tor General Sheng at Shanghai
states that by imperial edict, issued
on September %, Princes Chwaug
and Yih, secondary Princes Tsai lien
aud Tsai.ying are deprived Of all
their respective ranks and offices;
that Prince Tuan is deprived of
Office and is handed over to the I'M
perial clan court, which shall con-
suit and decide upon severe pen
atty, and his salary is to bs stopped;
that Duke Tsailan and the president
OF Censorate, Wing Men, are handed
over to the said board, who shall
consult and decide upon severe
penalty, aud tnat Kangyi assist adj
grand secretary and president OF
the civil board, and Cho-shu-C hiao,
! president Of the board of punish
uent, are handed over TO the board
Of ceusors, who shall consult and
decije upon penalty.
Minister Wu's Information APP
pears to PM at rest all question as
to tho lall OF the reactiouary ele-
ment headed by Prince Tusn and
including the presidents OF the CEN
sorate and OF the board Of punish
ments.
1t shows, moreover, that the pun
ishment of Tuan is more severe than
heretofore reported, as he is remov-
ed from Office, fact not stated in
the previous dispatches. The clan
court is directed to decide upon
severe penalty in addition to'the
loss Of Office, salary and servants.
The state department received
dispatch from Minister Coneer to-
day announcing the departure Of
the Russian legation from Picking.
Beyond this there was little addi-
tional bearing on the Chinese stu
alton. II was stated officially that
the reported French note to the
powers regarding the opening of
negotiations and permanent dis
armament Of the Chinese had been
received. II it proves true that a
note has been sent, it is said that
the proposition for disarmament
can hardly DO considered with favor
by this government, owing to the
commercial standing and recognized
sovereign authority OF China as a
nation.
4 Thus far there has been no pro.
test on the part OF this government
against the appointment Of Yung
Lu as one of the Chinese peace
commissioners, The state depart
ment is inclined now to think that
he is not as culpabIe az the first re-.
ports indicated, but the authority
OF Minister Congor and Mr.. Rock
hill is such that if they learn he is
an undesirable negotiator they will
be enabled to protest, although
they have not acted so far upon
that point. 1t is thought probable
that the matter will come to an is
sue when the sufficien"y OF creden-
tials is examined.
The state department is in receipt
OF dispatch from Minister Conger
formally announcing the withdraw
al and departure OF the Russian
legation from Peking

| some instances Is fabulous, ore having
been mined from the Valenciana worth
SIC, 900 ton. While the mines are aI.
most wholly silver propositions, some
gold has been found in paying quantities.
Labor is very cheap, the average prize
paid being about so cents a day.
In connection with the silver wealth Of
the country OF which have been speak.
ing, there is one substantial proof Of II at
Guanaiuato. a church there Is Soliily
built oi silver ore rs II was mined from
the earth, and the several altars IN the
edilte are plated with gold said to he
worth 100000. ! understand that i'm.
mensr offers have been made for the
church building. the object being to tear II
down tor the silver II is worth. The au.
thori,ies, however, have rejected all offers
and the church still stands as one Of the
evidences ot the wealth Of that section.
Il may be astonishing, SAYS the Mining
Record, to the average person that such
wealth propositions rs are said to exist IN
Mexico should have been permitted to lay
idle, but Mr.. Hall explains this by the
iat, ,ha, the crude operations OF the min.
ing there and the laNity Of titles TO the
property have caused complications to
arise which have resulted in some prop.
critics being abandoned. The activity,
however, is fast being renewed with the
modern methods OF mining introduced and
the advancement Of the country and the
people should be very rapid. II is fact
that now the underground workings of
several properties are flooded by water to
such extent that the most expert en-.
gineerlng and management would be
required TO get them into shape for the
Of operations. In one IN.
stance a large property is said to have
an underground lake that is one OF the
wonders OF that section. There are a
number Of properties that are being sue.
