the earlier reports which were busily

was easy enough for Lane to claim
that the rights of poor miners were
being disregarded, but when it comes

WASHBURN MINES HAS A
SCHEME FOR BRICKETTING LIG-
MITE.
Springfield, o., Dec. Former State
Mine Inspector Robert A. Hazelton,
since he left office in the spring, after
thirteen years in the state service, has
found congenial work in developing
the great Ignite deposits in the Da-
kotas. The Ignite beds lie near the
surface, are almost limitless in extent,
and are in a country which must pay
a l, 5OO-mile freight haul for coal.
But the S of Ignite for fuel is re-
tarded by the lack hitherto of a sue
cessful method of so treating it as to
make it burn evenly from the surface
to the core, as does a lump of coal. In
Europe it is bricketted by a secret pro-
cess which Americans have not been
able to fathom. The chief trouble
has been that Ignite contains from 10
to 20 per cent of water, and that the
agglutinents used to mold the Ignite
into bricks also contained a large per
cent of moisture.
Mr.. Hazelton proposes to eliminate
the water from the Ignite by passing
the raw material over heated iron
bars. Mr.. Hazelton has been con-
Quoting experiments for ex-senator
Washburn of Minnesota, one of the
largest owners of Ignite territory and
things he has solved the problem with
that Ignite brickettes, each the size
of a mans fist, can be loaded on cars
at less than 81 a ton, and in fuel cap
acity will equal Hooking coal.

Speaking of the Nome mining claims
with relation to the charges of Senator
Nelson made in this state a short time
before election, the Washington cor
respondent of the Minneapolis Journal
says: ut is thought that after the
matter has been disposed of by the
supreme court, it will be taken up the
senate of the United States, for the
charges which have been made broad
cast in the newspapers, while setting
up that Mckenzie and Noycs were the
principals in a scheme to defraud, are
to the further effect that Senators Tom
Carter, H. C. Hansbrough and others
were accessories. These distinguished
gentlemen, according to the stories
that are told by representatives and
friends OF the Lane syndicate in San
Francisco, combined with Mckenzie
and Noyes for the purpose of robbing
the poor claim owners in the Nome
district and feathering their w nests.
Senator Nelson of Minnesota is said
to have very positive opinions regard
ing the case. He is said to think there
is more truth than poetry in the
stories which .le Lane syndicate and
its friends are telling. If this should
be found to be his position, and should
the decision of the supreme court
make such a course advisable, it is al
together likely that the senate, at the
request Of all the gentlemen con-
cerned. Senator Nelson with the 9TH
ers. will take the matter up, to the
end that there may be a full and fair
investigation. which will locate re-
sponsibility, if any wrong has been
lone, and stop the tongue of scandal
if there has been no wrong. This
course would seem to be the only nat
ural one. and that it will be adopted
is confidently predicted"

scheme for the division of the state
into two congressional districts, along
an east and west line, putting the
Northern Pacific and southern coun-
ties in. one district, and the northern
part of the state in another. The
population Of the southern district
would be nearly $4,000 and that of
aid doesn't claim anything for the di-
vision except that it would be an equit-
able che in point of population.

STOCK MARKET
 WAS AGGRESSIVE The Impulse Was Upward from
 the Opening. FROM SEVERAL INFLUENCES Market Closed With Greater Evidence of Activity and Strength Than
 Has Been Shown for
 Several Weeks
FROM SEVERAL INFLUENCES

New York May 31.-The stock market struggled for a while with uncertainty and apathetic indifference, but toward the lat ter part of the day took more aggressive strength and closed with a greater appear ance of activity and vital force than it has shown for many day spast.
 The impulse was upward from the open ing on a number of influences accumulated over the holiday. The one of the widest bearing and interest was the reported cap ture of Johannesburg and the readiness of the Boers in Pretoria to surrender. The buying for foreign account, however, did not exceed 15,OOO shares, and the tone of the New York market became reactionary after the opening on profit-takng and on disap- pointment that greater strength was shown.
 The effect may thus be said to have been very small and momentary unless some of the latter buying was in expectation of a more active demand for stocks from foreign sources.
 In the case of the Bank of France fur ther gain in gold Is indicated of nearly ST. 100000, but in confirmation of the foresight of the authorities in increasing their re- serves the demand for credit has in-  creased the amounts of bills discounted to the extent of over $44,000,00O, while addi tional notes have been issued to the extent of over $230, 100000 A doubt is warranted, therefore, whether the demand for gold from Paris has yet been fully satisfied.
 The bond market was more active and stronger. Total sales, par value, $1, 735, 900. United States 3's declined A and the old As 1s per cent. in the bid price.
