Chinese Term. Not settled.

Pekin, Nov. II, via Shanghai. Nov
1s-The preliminary note has not yet
been presented. It's terms are not COM
pleted. and there will probably be fur
ther delay. but the belief that the note
of the powers to the Chinese commits
sioners will be completed soon is
strengthened by the results Of the re-
cent informal conferences Of the min
listers of the powers.
Mr.. Conger, United States minister,
said:
"The situation is apparently very ia
vorable to the early beginning of negO-
tlations for preliminary settlement. l
believe that the next meeting of the
foreign envoys will virtually settle all
points Of difference between the repre-
sentatives of the powers, who will lose
no time in presenting the demands.
what the result will be 1t is impOs-
sible to foretell. Events have placed
China in very critical position
Whether she will be able to preserve
her integrity and to save her trade
relations with the rest of the world
will depend upon what the powers de.
mand in the final settlement and upon
her willingness to accept promptly the
conditions proposed.

Stratton's Independence mine for the
Venture Corporation. Mr.. Hammond
will first make a thorough examination
of the big gold mine. and upon the re-
suit OF his findings will depend the fu-
ture working OF the mine. Mr.. Ham
mond spent the afternoon with Thom-
as F. Walsh discussing with the owner
the affairs Of the Camp Bird mine.
which Mr.. Hammond examined few
weeks ago.
Mr.. Hammond has been asked by
shareholders in Strattop's lndepend-
ence mine to take complete charge OF
the property, q task which he has
promised to undertake provided he is
put in full charge. to act as consulting
engineer with the powers of local
board of directors invested in him. He
has asked for authority to conduct the
mine in a manner according to his own
judgment; to do dead" work. or devel-
opment, and cut down the dividends, or
pass them altogether for few months.
until the property could be developed
and made to show what its capabilities
are.
THE trouble with the mine now is
that 1t has been squeezed to pay the
big dividends that the company has
promised shareholders" said Mr.. Ham,
mond yesterday. 1T is n state OF af-
fairs that has been known TO us here
for some time, but has just now be-
come known to the English holders of
the shares, and the information has
caused the present drop in the stock.

all that he said. But Mr.. Rickard was
handicapped by not having complete
access to the mine. 1t was great sur
prise to both Mr.. Rickard and Mr. Ba-
ker when they returned here and
found that the ore body was not what
