mill will be doubled in the near future
The citizens of Lovelock valley have
already raised over $1,000 toward es-
tablishing a creamery in that valley
and the Argus says it will be built in
side OF three months.

over 500, 900.
Professor J. w Philips, whose chair

The situation in China is assuming a
graver aspect every day. 1t is the old
conflict between enlightenment aud ig-
norance. The rioting element, called
the Boxers are not in themselves
formidable as they are practically un-
armed and could easily be put down by
small body of troops The real dan.
ger lies in the fact that the Empress
Dowager, who is the actual head of the
Empire, is secretly in sympathy with
the attacks on the native Christians
and foreigners and shows no disposition
to put stop to the rioting and murder.
1t is moro than likely that the Euro
pean powers and possibly the United
States viii have to take active measures
for the protection of the lives and prop
erty OF their subjects in China and the
result of such interference is extremely
hard to predict.
The great difficulty in the way of such
action lies in the lack OF harmony be-
tween the great powers themselves,
which in the grab for slices of territory
and spheres of influence might become
involved in disputes which would plung
all Europe into terrible war, Russia
rather courts the danger and is pre-
pared. France would no doubt join
Russia which would force Germany to
unite with the English. The imagin-
alton refuses to contemplate the con-
sequences OF such terrible conflict.
England is in no position at present to
undertake such war and will prevent
1t II possible. On the events of the next
few weeks in China may depend the
peace and happiness of millions of
people for many years to come.

In the Idaho Democratic State con-
vention last week, Governor Steunen-
berg won a signal victory which pre-
cludes all possibility of the labor trou-
bles in that State being dragged into
the coming Presidential contest. There
were two delegations from Shoshone
county, one representing the law-abid-
ing citizens and the other the lawless
element which had hand in blow
ing up the Bunker Hill mill. The
latter delegation was naturally opposed
to the Governor who made them feel
the hard hand OF the law and they made
a hard fight for their seats in the con-
vention: but they were defeated and
the other delegation, which was favor
able to Steunenberg, was seated by a
vote of 1872 to rs. As Governor Steun-
enberg assumed before the Congress
ional investigating committee the en-
tire response bility for the acts of the
Federal troops in suppressing the C9ur
d Alene riots, this vindication by the
Democrats of Idaho ought to be suf1i-
cient to shut the mouths of such agita-
tors as Congressman Lentz of Ohio and
Sulzer of New York, who have only
succeeded in making themselves ridieu-
Ions.

shall contribute so much per ton Tor
the metallic lead contained in their ores,
to be used for the purpose OF protect
ing the loss on the 10 per cent surplus
above mentioned which must be ex-
ported. 1t is proposed that when lead
reaches 81. 25 per 100 pounds that the
amount contributed by the lead miners
shall be 81 per ton. When lead goes to
81. so per hundred pounds the contri-
button Is to be 81 per ton and when 1t
reaches 81 65 per hundred pounds then
the assessment will be So per ton. The
smelter people are to have nothing TO
do with the management of the busl-
ness The lead-producers are to form
a national organization and direct Its
affairs. The only part the smelters VIII
have in the transaction is to retain the
schedule assessment out of each lot OF
silver-lead ore and pay it over to the
proper officers of the Lead-Producers'
association. This is to be in accord
ance with properly executed author
ization by each member of the associa-
ton.
Mr.. Bamberger stated that the diff
ference in beneficial way to the Utah
lead producers would amount to from
$50, 600 to $50 900 per month, while the
expense to the mine-owners would be
very light; only few cents per 100
pounds on the lead produced.
The gentlemen present all expressed
themselves as favorable to the organ
ization of the proposed association and
on motion committe consisting of j.
E. Bamberger, A. Hanauer, Thomas
Kearns, jesse Knight and c. f. Loot
bourow was named to draft a plan OF
organization, which is to be submitted
to another meeting of mine-owners on
Saturday evening.
At the meeting on Saturday evening
plan of organization on the above
lines was adopted.

throughout Eastern Nevada. He was
a native of New Brunswick and came

years but had been able to be around

LEAD PRODUCERS MEET.
They Prepare a Plan for Better
ing the Price.

There was well attended meeting of
the lead-producers at the Office of ]. E
Bamberger last evening. They were
called to consider ways and means of
maintaining the price oflead. Mr. Bam-
berger presided, and after stating the
object of the meeting he explained that
. few OF the Western lead-produeers in
Utah, Idaho and Montana had united
some time ago, and by their com ined
effort had been able to maintain the
price of lead for about three months
in the neighborhood of S4.57I per hun
dred. The cause of the recent slump
in the price OF lead was the refusal of
the Missouri lead-producers to share
any portion of the burden, while they
were unloading all the lead they could
mine at the price which was being
maintained by the Western producers.
Mr.. Bamberger stated that there
we're abont $40, 600 tons of lead ore pro-
duced In the-United States every year
All OF this product is consumed in this
country except about 10 per cent of the
total. or rs, 600 tons per annum, which

ing companies have to hold this sur

Reno's Smelter Assured.

The money for the new smelter for
Reno has all been subscribed and the
machinery ordered from New York By
telegraph to-day. So inside of ninety
days Reno will have an eighty ton
smelter throwing off fumes and running
out copper, silver, lead and gold. The
location of the new smelter has not yet
been fully decided upon, but there are
two or three sites now under consider
alton. Washoe will boom in a mining
way before many moons.-Gazette.

The efforts OF the big lead producers
to artificially maintain the price of lead
we believe will not meet with any great
measure of success. The only way that
the producers of lead and copper can
bring the big smelter trust to time is to
build their own shelters and refneries
and let the laws of supply and demand
on the open market do the rest.

A SPLIT LIKELY.
New Orleans to Stand by the Western
Turf Congress.


Turf Congress.
A special from New Orleans says that
the attitude that. according to advices from
Washington. has been assumed by the Jock
ey Club in the matter of Western Turf Con-
gress rule No 6. which places owners.
trainers and jockeys who participate in the
Benning meeting after December 1 und@ :
the ban, has caused no end Of discussion
among the turfmen who are already gather
ing in that city in large numbers. The
Jockey Club, so the news goes to New Or
leans, has, through President Belmont, ad-
vised the management conducting the Ben
ming meeting that those who disregard the
Western Turf Congress rule and run at the
Washington track after the date prescribed
will be protected at all hazards.
The report Is credited with accuracy, but
the stand Of the Jockey, Club has brought
with 1t no change of heart so far as the
Crescent City Jockey Club Is concerned.
President c. s. Bush, who guides the des-
ed for statement Of his position, said
positively that rule of the Western Turf
Congress would be strictly lived up to by
the management of the New Orleans track.
ANY owner or trainer who starts his horses
at Benning after December IT, declared
Mr.. Bush, cor any jockey who rides there
after that date in defiance OF the Western
Turf Congress rule will not be allowed on
the track of the Crescent City Jockey Club.
We have kept hands Off ever since the con-
troversy was started. 1t was not through
us that the question arose and our duty Is
perfectly plain. ,.
eff we allow violators of Western Turf
Congress rules to race over our track we
place the track in danger Of Outlawry it
self, and this is q contingency we certainly
propose to protect ourselves against to the
utmost. There can be no discounting the
fact that the lines over the clash in date
as well as the clash in authority are being
tightly drawn. Just what the outcome will
be is difficult to predict

as important In the eyes of the public as
the National League and will not stand for
an agreement of any kind which will make
us appear in a less dignified position.
President johnson was appointed a COM
mittee, with another man whom he will
name, to draw up u constitution, which will
be submitted at our next meeting. When
that meeting will be held has not been de-
cided as it is subject to Johnson's call, but
it will probably be just before or just after
the National League meeting.
The Baltimore franchise was turned over
to me- and after things are definitely or
ganized shall make 1t over to the firm OF
Robinson & McGraw. We have received
any number of offers already from people
who wanted to take stock In the company
which we will organize, but we have told
them all that they will have to wait until
after we hold the next meeting. There
need be no fear In any quarter about the
money back of the American League. In
Philadelphia We have a man with all sorts
of money and a position in the community
who is going into the game with deter
| minaton to make a success of it, and he
has already taken steps to put the old Ath-
letic grounds in perfect condition. BY the
time the National League meeting is called
to order the fence will be up around those
grounds and things will be ready for the
next step toward making them first-ciass
ball field. In Baltimore we have an eye
upon man who has plenty of money and
a reputation which will insure to the pub
lie the fact that we are going to do bus1-
ness on a firm basis.
THE Chicago papers accused us of trying
to keep information from the people by
registering under assumed names and hold
ing secret meetings. but the truth Is we
were in the city for two days at one of the
most prominent hotels, and the reporters
simply neglected to look for there.
From Chicago l went to ST. Louis to see
what was going to be done about the money
due Robinson and myself for last season.
but when l got there / found the checks
had been forwarded to Baltimore while
was in Chicago
There has been some talk about trouble
in getting the ST. Louis club to allow me
to play with the American League, and
there has been speculation upon how much
the club would demand to let me go, but
for my part l am not in favor Of paying
cent for such release. I signed a contract
with st. Louis which expressly stated that
it was limited to one year, and as that year
is up, what claim is there me? If the
club says that 1T intended all the time to
hold me longer than year. after signing
a contract which particularly stated that
period it certainly puts itself in a bad
light and admits that it was deliberately
acting deceitfully when it agreed to our
bargain.
II can tell you nothing about our plans
for grounds. etc, until after the meeting
of our league, for the situation is too un-
certain to disclose anything now
