There was little wash gravel in the

mountain of quartz four miles up Blue

remarkable formation, and ia probably
unparalleled in mining discoveries.
The mountain is 1870 feet high, and
appears to be nearly all quartz. At
the top several cliffs of solid quartz
project for a hundred feet or more
above the surface, while veins Of ore
crop out in all directions. The ore as
says from $3.50 to $l2 per ton.
The Lucky Boy mine has been com.

stamps are kept going day and night.
The company has the machinery for q

and t1ume constructed which will
furnish plenty of water for operating
all of the stamps.
Jones q Co. have the foundation laid

ana already have number of logs
ready to saw. The machinery for the
mill is expected to arrive in short
time. The mill will be situated at the
new Blue River city townsite, and is
intended to supply the local market.
1t will be operated by steam power,
and will have capacity OF 10000 feet

Washington. July ia decidedly
more hopeful feeling with regard to the
Chinese situation was apparent in all
administration circles this evening.
The tide of sentiment, which had lbeen
markedly pessimistic, turned with the
announcement Of the victory Of the
allies ut Tien lsin, and the capture Of
the forts and native city, and gathered
further strength from Minister Wu's
cablegram declaring that the foreign
ministers ut Pekin were safe July Q.
Aside from these dispatches, tho ar.
rival OF the president and tho special
cabinet meeting called to consider the
situation were the features of the day.
Tho cabinet met at 2:3O this afternoon.
less than an hour after the president
reached the White House. Over 100
newspaper men thronged the corridor
while the cabinet was sitting behind
closed doors. The scene resembled the
hottest days OF the Spanish war. There
were present Secretaries Hay, Root,
Long. Gage and Postmaster. eneral
Smith. At the conclusion Of the ses.
sion, which lasted two and hall
hours. Secretary Root gave cut the fol.
lowing formal statement Of the action
Of the cabinet:
1.-THE president has determined that
the facts known'tO 10 do not require
or justify calling an extra session Of
congress. Should future developments
indicate that he is unable to do what 10
required with the means now ut his
command, and the action of congress 10
necessary TO furnish either men or
money or authority. he will not hesitate
to call 1t together"
The decision that an extra session OF
congress was not demanded by existing
conditions was the outcome OF the
showing which both Secretary Root
and Secretary Long made 40 to the
force that can be thrown into China
without the authorization of additional
troops by congress, and also the decid.
