Sidney Lucas Won,

Chicago, June 25.-Sidney Lucas, almost
neglected in the betting at odds of Is to

Washington park. Six lengths behind him

vaunted public choice-the even money

Advance Guard and Sam Phillips in order
brought up the procession, which carried
little joy to the 10000 spectators who saw
the great classic event decided. The rush
OF Sidney Lucas through the stretch and
tho falling back of Lieutenant Gibson
was 50 sudden, so startling, that it fairly
stupefied the crowd.
Perhaps not one in hundred had pick

was in the same unfortunate category.

At the Black Bear the work of OPEN
ing up new slopes goes steadily for
ward. The quality of the ore being
mined shows that values are gradually
increasing, and there is no diminution
in quantity. By the time the extra
stamps now at the mill are installed
the mine will be fully able to supply
the mill with all the ore it can crush.
The opening up of the War Eagle will
give an ample reserve at all times.
This will enable them to develop each
property without any hurry and in an
economical way.
The Palmer Mountain tunnel is in
nearly 1900 feet, and the first objective
point, the Helena Belle ledge, should be
reached within few weeks. This is
the point the management has been
anxious to reach before beginning to

to put the company's water right on
Touts Coulee creek in shape to furnish
power for large number of drills. and
the next six months work will be of a
very important nature.
The machinery for the compressor

power will be ready to turn on.

The meeting of the lead producers
OF the United States to be held at New
York city will probably result in a com.
bination such as was had about year
ago. This former combination lasted
about six months. Recently the lead
producers of Utah, Idaho and Montana
united and by their combined effort
had been able to maintain the price of
lead for about three months in the
neighborhood of $4,57h per hundred.
The cause of the recent slump in price
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. There are about
100000 tons of lead produced in the
United States every year.

Ynir Camp.

The following are the official returns
from the Ymir mine for the month of
April: During last month 5000 tons
have been milled, producing 1857
ounces of bullion and ITS tons of con-
centrates. Have shipped "a tons Of
concentrates. The total receipts for the
month are $22,031; expenses, $7763;
estimate of outstanding concentrates,
$2400." This brings the production of
the Ymir for the first four months of
1900 up to over $4,000, being the pro-
duct of 10,105 tons of ore milled in the
40-stamp mill This month the capac-
ity of the mill will be doubled by the
completion of the other 40 stamps, and
the product from the whole 80 stamps
will probably be in the neighborhood of
$4,000 per month. Besides this it is
probable that the shipment of the rich
crude ore which has been discontinued
recently will now be recommended, as
a contract has been entered into with
the Trail smelter for the treatment of
both crude ore and concentrates. Last
year above 375 tons of this rich ore
was shipped, and averaged over $120
per ton.

but several are under consideration and
it Is expected that choice will be
made shortly.
Eight hundred tons of ore shipped to
the smelter is an encouraging showing
for one week, when it is considered
that shelters are not yet ready to re-
ceive ore and that shipments from
some of the big properties are being
delayed until advantage can be taken
of cheaper transportation rates for a
short haul. The Knob Hill and Old
Ironsides will probably ship to the
CRANKY smelter this week, and this
ought to double the total. 1t is only a
question of few months until Boun-

Citizens who own property along the

the work of repairing the roadway for
which over $1,000 they claim was ap-
propriated last May. At that time $500

total of $1,191. Since that time, out

turned over to Commissioner Moore, of

But the greatest failure of all was the

was only tainted, not roasted at all, and
was absolutely unfit to eat, except that
Roosevelt may send it to the Philip
pines to feed our soldiers. Not a pound
of it was eaten, the reports to the con-
trary Notwithstanding, so that all of the
mighty throng that Dovener said was
here, and he put it at what the Saviour
fed, five thousand, went hungry or had
to hunt their own dinner, but as to
numbers, Mr.. J. H. S~trickling, the mar
shall, only estimated the crowd at 1000,
So there was quite a difference between
him and Dovener. May be Dovener was
in the same happy state he was in at
New Martinsville a few weeks since,
when men like Judge Pugh, of Column
bus, Chic, left the room in disgust and
would not sit still and listen to him
talk. The most disgusting thing was
the rough riders, who came in from Sis
t~ersville, in all seventy. They had one
great, big burly negro in the crowd.
This was elegant, also one of the mar
shals, OF at least he claimed to be one,
Dink Sheppard, was so drunk that he
could not sit on his horse, yet Dovener
men never get drunk. And they do say
that to get the darkies to come over
they had to pay them $500 apiece, and
furnish transportation, too. Take it all
in all it was an utter failure. There
was an absence of Hardmen men, al
though Hardman was present. 1t was

fact not told it as it was. Ask some
good Republican like Jonathan Ankrom
what he thought of it, and he will say
