review of the past six months, how
ever, gives little comfort to pessimists-

Winter wheat has about all been har-
vested in the southwest and the yield
there has been large. Copious rains
in the northwest, too, have apparently
worked some improvement, judging
from the more cheerful tone of advices
received thence this week.
Wool is dull and manufacturers are
supplying only actual wants. Prices

Many Leaders-Many Rumors

Action of the Powers.

London, July S.-The foreign office has
issued the text of telegram from Acting
Consul General Warren, at Shanghai, con-
firming from thoroughly trustworthy
sources the news received from Peking
July 3, by way of Shanghai, to the Lon
don office of the inspectorate OF Chinese
maritime customs, saying that two lega-
tions were, the day the courier left, hold
ing out against the troops and Boxers, and
that the troops had lost 1000 men and the
Boxers many leaders. Mr.. Warren adds
that the messenger says the troops were
much disheartened by their losses, and
that the Boxers claim their mystic powers
have been broken by the foreigners, and
that they dare not approach the legations.
1t is further asserted that the foreigners
at Peking ought to be able to hold out for
long time, as they have sufficient food
and ammunition.

A sensational copper discovery has
just been made on Goose Greek four
miles southeast of Sanger and about 20
miles northeast of Baker City, Ore.
The ledge on the surface was four feet
wide. At depth of ten feet the ledge
is 10 feet wide and widening as depth
is attained. The discoveries of this
promising find are d. e. Beard and L..
Vaw, both of whom were in the city re-
Gently with samples of the ore, which
they exhibited and which created con-
siderable interest among mining men.

MINING NOTES.

A ten-stamp mill has been ordered
for the Oregon-Colorado mines in the
Quartzburg district in Oregon. Ten
tons of ore have been shipped to Sum-
pier.
Within less than 100 miles from Spo-
kane and three miles west of the town
of Hope, Idaho, lies the Trestle Creek
mining camp. Quietly and unobstruc
ted development work has been going
on here for the last two or three years,
but the outside world has heard but
little about this part of the Pend d.
Oreille mining district.
That a satisfactory agreement has
been made by the lead producers of the
United States for the securing of better
prices for their output at the meeting
held in New York recently, is the i'm
portant statement recently made by
John A. Finch, of Spokane.
News comes from the Manila in KEEL
Ter camp that the ledge has been cross
ed for los feet and the wall is yet far
distant. 1t has always been believed
that the ledge was close to 140 feet wide
and this seems not improbable. Some
are of the opinion that the Cuba, which
is near it, and apparently has the same
ledge as the Manila, is destined to be
as good as the latter. Every practi-
cal mining man who comes from the
south half is imbued with the idea
that that section will soon become the
banner mining region of the state.
In the Palmer Mountain tunnel at
LOOMS, Wash, the last 80 feet driven
has gone through a formation highly
mineralized, giving assays each day
running from S3.47 to $37 in gold.
Yesterdays shot at the face broke into
well defined ledge, showing much
blue quartz full of mineral which may
prove one of the most important in the
history of the tunnel. This ledge is
in a different formation from that of
the other %, and the good values pre-
ceding the cutting of the footwall make
the crossing and testing of this 23d
vein a matter of special interest. AS
all the mines close down to give the
men a three days Fourth of July cele-
bration it will probably be the first of
next week before the Importance of
this strike can be determined.
AS a result of the latest move in the
Daly-Clark feud may come the closing
down of all, or nearly all, the smelters
in Butte. Clark's latest move was to
put Daily in the worst kind of hole
Either way the latter moves Clark will
profit. This Clark move is the agita
ton for an eight-hour day for the min
ers, mine laborers, smelter men and
all others connected with that industry
here. 1t is generally believed that
August Heinze, who is now with Clark
originated the move.
Clark employs only about 300 people
in Butte, while DAILY and the corpora
lions in which he is interested employ
between 1000 and 5000. Friends o.
DAILY assert that he has always KEEP
ND wages despite Clark's efforts to low
er them. They say that Clark's bis
force is employed in the United VERDI
mine. at Jerome, Ariz., where the wag'
scale is very low and an eight-hour dis
cussion is discountenanced and frown
ed upon. Recently Clark and Heinz
have induced Butte labor men to star
an eight-hour day movement. Mr.

Vancouver, B. c., July 9.-The United

the Washington government will take no
further action in regard to the Everett
case of alleged kidnapping. Martin Ever

the border line, in the provincial peni-
tertiary. Everett was arrested at Repub-
lie, Wash, and brought over to British
Columbia without extradition papers.

Policy of the Administration.

Washington, July 1.-THE state repart-
ment has finally concluded to make public
the identical note which was recently de-
lvered to the powers as defining the posi-
ton of the United States respecting the
Chinese troubles. 1t is understood that this
circular letter of instruction was drawn upe
ON the Goth of June and transmitted to.
Canton for the approval of the president
and communicated to the powers concerned
on the Sd of July. 1t embodies the views
to which this government has strictly ad--
hered from the very beginning of the pres
ent troubles, and which the different pow
ers have one by one taken into favorables
consideration.
The announcement by the president at
the start that we did not consider our
selves at war with the Chinese nation and
that all our efforts should be directed tow
ard localizing the disturbances in the prov
ince Of Chin Ii and keeping them from
spreading throughout the empire by en-
listing ON the side of peace the power OF
the viceroys of central and southern China,
has now apparently been adopted by ak
the other powers 1t is too soon to proph-
esy the ultimate results, but thus far the
indications are all favorable. 1t will be-
seen that no answer from the different
powers was required or expected to the
, circular of July 3, but it is understood
it has been everywhere favorably received
) and that no objections have been made to-
it in any quarter. 1t is not true that there
has been any formation of groups or COM
binations of powers of any sort whatever.
1t may be positively asserted, for instance
that the cooperation of France and the,
United States has been most constant and
most cordial.

American Troops Available.

Washington, July S.-The issuing
of the formal orders for the dispatch
of more than 5000 troops from the army
posts of the United States was mani
festation of the energy with which the
government is about to act in the chi
nese matter. True, the nominal destina-
ton of these troops is the fnihppines, to
replace the volunteers now there, but 1t Is
admitted that they are being sent out by
a route that will easily admit OF defiec-
ton to Taku or some other convenient
Cn.nese port. Possibly Consul General
Goodnow's cablegram reporting the lega-
tons as being alive as late as the Sd
instant may have something to do with
this radical action. Whatever the cause,
if these troops are landed in China, to-
gether with the Ninth infantry, supposed
to be now at Tal1u, and the marine con-
tingent, the United States will have a
force in action commensurate with her in
tersts and in proportion to the European
forces. Japan is to begin today with the
full consent of Europe and it is calculat-
ed that full foreign achievements, in
Guiding our own, will arrive in China, II
they are landed at all, in season to finish
the work left by the japanese.

As Seen in England.

London, July Spy the average Brit
isher the present situation in China is
generally referred to as "a crime OF the
powers" This view is shared by most
everybody not connected with the foreign
office. With the uncontradicted rumor
that the helpless European women and
children were tortured to death at Picking,
there has come home to all classes, all
papers and all parties, keen, sickening
sense of Great Britain's helplessness.
Some 90 even farther, and describe Great
Britains attitude as an ignominy un-
eoualed in her history. 1t must not be
gathered that this selfish criticism excludes
equally severe criticism upon the
other powers concerned. The preponder-
ance of criticism is only directed against
the home government in the hope that it
will bring some result. The cry is; what
is the good of Lord Salisbury saying that
the international understanding Is har-
mony when that harmony will not let
Japan step in and save the lives of our
minister, and the men, women and child
rem in his charge"
! The events and rumors of the week
have completely changed the public atti-
tude toward China. 1t is no longer a
