Arizona aud southern California are
not the only sections short on water.
A dispatch from Minneapolis, dated
May 30 says: minneapolis lumbermen,
and in fact, the manufacturers of the
entire white pine district of Minnesota
and Wisconsin, are now facing a crisis
which is almost without parallel in the
history of northwestern lum mberiDg.
At the present time most II the ten or
twelve saw mills of this city, the mills
which last year sawed over 100000
feet of lumber, are idle, and all of them
will be idle within the next week, all
on account of shortage of water. Con-
tinuing the dispatch says: "There is
scarcely saw mill Of any consequence
in the white pine lumber district that
has not shut down, or that will not be
obliged to shut down in the course OF
few days. In the city of Minneapo-
liz alone about 200 men will be thrown
out of work, with the gloomy prospect
that the shutdown Is for an indefiuite
time"

The production of gold 10 Arizona
in 1899 L. given by the authorities at
124,577 ounces, valued at 2,575, COOS;
silver 2,0O0,OO0 troy ounces, valued at
1,Dl COOS. This is far below the real
value of the precious metals produced,
as the United Verde Is credited with a
production of 5,0O0,0O0s in gold and
Mohave county last year produced
over l,OO0,OOO ounces in silver and
nearly half million dollars In gold.
Colorado gets the credit for the greater
part of the gold and silver production
of this county, by reason of our ore
shipments to the smelters at Pueblo
and Denver.

The Gugenheim snielters are at last
to go into the hands of the trust. For
year past the Gugenheims have kept
the trust guessing but now the poor
miner may as we'll give his mine away
and go into hiding, for the trust is af-
ter him. The recent slump In lead Is
one of the first indications that the
trust is preparing the liquid bath for
the owners of lead properties. To do
the trust the owners of the big lead
mines must consolidate and put in a
plant of their own. Smelling charges
have been too high for two years past
and the only way to reduce them l. to
put in producers smelter. In Penn
>ylvania, years ago, the Standard Oil
Company controlled oil shipments
from the field to such an extent that
the producers could not ship their
product at profit. The producers of
the district of Bradford got together
aud laid pipe line to Harrisburg
through which all the product of the
producers was run to tide water. In
this way the railroads lost all the oil
shipping business and the Standard
for the time being lost control Of the
district production. Let the lead
mine owners combine and the trust
smelters will have to come to them, as
lead is necessity in all well regulated
smelters and they will and must have
the product to do business. Mohave
county has many mines that could be
shipping big lots of lead ore under ia
yorable conditions, but the trust prices
has closed them down. With few
mating furnaces in this county aud
big smelter In central locality our
mine owners might consider them mselves
free from the dominion Of trusts.

Politics will soon absorb the atten-
ton OF the public to the exclusion of
war news. The republican convention
will be held at Philadelphia on the 10Th
OF this month and the democrats will
meet in Kansas City on the 4th of July.
After the tickets are in the field all the
party organs will tune up for the cam
paign. Ii the candidates have not been
proven to be horse thieves they are
sure to be convicted before the cam
paign is fairly over. War is a sublime
thing, but politics is assassination.

The Anaconda mining company is
about to build another ~melter at the
town of Anaconda that will have Ca
pacity of 1900 tons daily. The old
smelter with capacity Of 5000 tons
will be remodeled and run In connec-
tion with the new plant. This will
give the company reduction capacity
of nearly ten Thousand tons daily, the
greatest capacity of any smelter on
earth.

The fire in the Hecla mine at Hough-
ton, Michigan, is in many respects sim
liar to the fire in the Broken Hill mine
in New South Wales, few years ago.
The burning section of the mine Is
bulkheaded off from the other part
but the gases manage to force them
selves through and many men will be
overcome by them before the fuel shall
have been consumed. In the Broken
Hill mine the fire subsisted on the
sulphide ores until the last trace of
sulphur was dissipated. If the Hecla
fire should attack the ore bodies the
fire may be expected to rage for year
or more. The loss to the company will,
in measure be met by the desulphur-
ization Of the great bodies of ore in
the slopes, taking from the ores their
refractory qualities.

Methodically the journal. Miner, our
hyphenated Prescott contem porary,
has monthly published the report of
the r. g. Dun agency as an evidence
of the persistently prevalent prosper
ity. To ease the mind of the Journal
hyphenated editor Of the prosperous
strain we would call his attention to
the other than prosperous condition of
this great and glorious country as
evidenced by the Dun review for the
month OF May. From this report we
CLEAN that the greatest number Of fail
ures took place in May since reports of
this kind have been recorded. May,
1899, had 58l failures with liabilities
of 3,S20!68ds, while May, 1900, comes In
with 947 failures and liabilities of 23,-
77l,l5ls. The number of small fail
ures are unprecedentedly large, owing
to the trust squeeze on small dealers.
And yet this is prosperity.

The lead producers of the United
States are preparing to form a trust
that has for its object the maintenance
of lead prices that will provide sub
stantial profit to the mine owner. The
lines on which this trust are to be
formed are cooperative. The price of
lead Is to be maintained at 425s, at
which price the producer will pay into
the combine one dollar on each metal
lie ton. When the price reaches 4.50S
two dollars will be paid, and at 4.65s
and over three dollars will 60 to the
combine. This money is to be used
to buy the surplus lead and maintain
the market on firm basis. The com
mittee appointed few days ago in
Salt Lake City will formulate plan
which all producers will he asked to
subscribe to. Arizona lead producers
will be more than willing to join the
producers of Utah to maintain the
price of this commodity. To Mohave
county 40 lead means great deal and
we hope to see the proposition pushed
through at once.

Washington, September H.-The United States government has made full and com- plete answers to the various important in- quidies that have been addressed to 1t by the powers relative to the Chinese trou- ble. Moreover, it has gone further and has made disclosure of all its purposes and as member of the administration puts 1t, it has thrown it's hand open on the table, This action was taken after the cabinet meeting today.
 Minister Wu called this afternoon upon Acting Secretary Hill and was handed q memorandum embodying the response of the United States government to the re- quest of Prince Ching that MT. Congey or some other person be immediately empow- cred to begin negotiations with the Chi- nese authorities for final settlement. The minister came away with dissatisfied ex- pression on his face. Next came M Thie- baut, the French charge. A few minutes conversation suff1cied to impart to hina orally an answer to his own verbel inquiry. Then Baron Sternberg, the German charge, who had been notified of the readiness of the State Department to make answer to the German note, called and was given that answer. He hastened to cable 1t to his government.
 The department then sent the answer to the Russian inquiry forward by messenger and wired cablegrams containing tho sub , stance of the answers to it's diplomatic rep. resentatdves abroad The State Department absolutely refused to make any statement as to the nature of the answers, but as 1t was calculated that all these answers will have reached their destina tions abroad to- morrow, it was promised that the text of the communica dons should be given to the press tomorrow afternoon.
 It is believed that todays action will be the withdrawal of all but one regiment of the American troops from China to Manila

 ed Two Persons

Shenandoah, Pa., September 2.-A sher- frs posse fired on a crowd of riotous men near here this afternoon, killing two per- sons and wounding seven others. Sheriff Toole and Deputies ODonneal and Brenne- man were called to Shenandoah to suppress the mob that threatened mine workers and collier property. At quitting time the three officers and small posse whom the sheriff had summoned on the ground went to the Indian Ridge colliery of the Reading Com pany to escort the men to their homes The coliery is locat ted a short distance east of Shenandoah.
 The workmen left for home shortly after 1 o'clock. They walked up the middle or East Center street and reached the Lehigh Valley Railroad station. Here had gath cred a large crowd of Poles, Slavs and Hungarians, men, women and children, who lined both sides of the street. shot rang out from a saloon. This was followed by a shower of stones. Many of the men had picked up sticks and stones and were acting in a threatening manner. Seeing this, the sheriff. who had previously cau- tioned his men to keep cool and not use their firearms, commanded them 10 hre. The order was obeyed with terrible results. The crowd pursued the sheriff and his posse to the Ferguson House. where they took refuge. Sheriff Toole shortly after ward telephoned to Harrisburg and asked that a detachment of troops be sent here

Martial Law Will Probably be Estab- ablished-President Mitchell Is- sues Statement Setting Forth
 Position of the Men

Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. H.-The tragedy that has been looked for since the coal workers strike was inaugurated came sud- denly and unexpectedly this afternoon
 A posse hurriedly gathered together by Sheriff Toole of Schuylkill County to meet an emergency was forced to fire on mob that was threatening workmen on their way home under escort. A man and a lit- tie girl were instantly killed and seven others fel more or less seriously wound- ed. Sheriff Toole lost no time in calling on the commander of the National Guard of Pennsylvania to send troops to aid him in keeping the peace. After consultation the State authorities at Harrisburg decided at midnight to send troops to the turbu- lent region.
 Shenandoahs trouble was precipitated by the closing of six collieries there this morning through the efforts of strike lead ers More will close tomorrow as a volun- tary act, it is said, on the part of the Reading Company. This is done at the re- quest of Sheriff Toole, who hopes in this maner to avoid further rioting. The out look at midnight, however, Is dubious as the foreigners affected by today's happen ings are in an ugly mood.
 Elsewhere in the strike region everything is quiet although preparations are mak- ing for an outbreak in the Hazleton dis trict, and armed sherifs deputies are much fin evidence there.
 The Reading Company has about discon- tinued the sale Of coal for future delivery and tonight's development almost certain ly means the shutting off of coal produc- tion everywhere in the anthracite field, temporarily at least.
