FALLACY IN REASONING.

this reasoning would seem to be sug-
gested by the fact that although the
defendants schedule would have re-
duced the actual receipts Is per cent
on the passenger, and IL per cent on
the freight business, the earning ca
pacity for the last year was diminish
ed only one-tenth of one per cent. Such
a result indicates that there is some
thing wrong in the process by which
the conclusion is reached. That there
was. can be made apparent by further
computations, and in them we will
take even numbers as more easy OF
comprehension. Suppose the total
value OF the property in South Dakota
was $lO,OOO,OO0, and the total receipts
both from interstate and local bust
ness were $1,O0O,000, onehalf from
each. Then, according to the method
pursued by the trial court, the value
or the property used in earning local.
receipts would be S. 100000, and the
per cent OF receipts TO value would be
10 per cent. The interstate receipts
being unchanged, let the local receipts
by a proposal schedule be reduced tc
one-fiifth OF what they had been, sc
that instead OF receiving 100000 the
company only receives 100000.
The total receipts for interstate and
local business being then $500 900, the
valuation Of $4,000 900, divided be.
tween the two, would give to the prop.

ceipts in round numbers $3.50. 900

Paris, March 26.--The Wdldeck-Rous-
seau ministry sustained another assault
from its nationalist opponents in the
chamber of deputies last week and came
through the ordeal without much diff
Guilty Indeed, the only result the nation
alists achieved is to accentuate the fact
that the government has come to stay
through the exposition.
The organs heat the air with violent and
ceaseless structures upon the governments
policy and with attempts to embroil
France in foreign complications, but par
lament seems determined TO leave the
reins of power in NJ. Waideck-Rosseau's
hands.
The opposition having failed in frontal
attack tried a thanking movement on Fri
day and again came to grief. They
brought forward two interpretations which
were pistols leveled at the head of NJ.
Millerand, and both missed fire. The inter
'pellations would have involved the resig-
nation of NJ Millerand and cabinet
crisis, which the opposition hoped would
lead to the defeat of the ministry, to over
throw the government, as M. Millerand
himself described their actions in defend
ing his action.

ready arrangements are being made
for exploring many of the promising
prospects this season. The same is
true in the vicinity of Kimberley and
the North Star hill. At Fort Steele
deals are being consummated at this
time that means the investment of
large sums in the development of the
many rich properties tributary to that
town. In the Sand Creek district the
prospects were never brighter, while
every property in the Cranbrook dis
trlct will be worked this summer by
local companies or outside owners.
This unanimous movement toward
development and the readiness with
which capital is being invested means
that the district is forging rapidly to
the front, and that there will be many
prospects developed to the stage of
paying mines within the next fifteen
months.

MINING NOTES.

The Observation-Disclosures, at Wallace,
Idaho, is proving wonder.
The Blue Bird mine, on Lake Pend
dOreille, is a wonder. Ore encrusted
with native silver has been found in
a drift.
Colonel S. W. Ray, of Port Arthur,
Canada, has made the final payment of
$4,000 on the White Elephant mine,
near the Bonanza, 16 miles southwest
OF Sumpter Ore.
good strike in the Bonanza, near
Bossburg, Wash, has been made, as
the long sought ore was found on the
fifth level. Manager Wolf received
had been opened at the end of cross
cut 142 feet long. Two lower levels
have been opened.
Beside working on the lower tunnel
in the Amazon-Manhattan, at Wallace,
Idaho, where lead was found a few
days ago for the first time on that
level, a number of men are also work
ing on the crosscur from which the
raise was made in which the wonder
full strike was made month ago.
The new Hunter mill, at Mullan,
Idaho, is working like a charm and
the force of miners has been increased
to so men to keep the mill supplied
with ore. The mine is not opened up
to very large extent yet, and in or
der to work enough men to furnish
the ore, in the Scant room which is
open for them, it is necessary to work
two shifts. During the time that the
mill was building considerable ore was
taken out of the mine in doing develop
ment work, and as long as that lasted
only a small force was needed in the
mine.
Rumors are afioat concerning a pend
ing big deal involving the great e. &
e. and North Pole mines on Cracker
creek. 1t is reported that wealthy
Chicago syndicate, whose representa-
tive is known to have been in this
camp for some time, is negotiating for
both these properties that new under
ground workings are to be inaugural
ed upon them, and that modern con-
centrator of sufficient capacity to han
die the ores of the entire Cracker creek
and Cable cove districts is to be erect
ed. The North Pole mine is owned by
Barring brothers, bankers, of London,
England, who, in 1895, paid $4,000
cash for it. 1t is said an offer of $780,
600 was recently refused. 1t is equip
ped with 10 stamps and 25-ton cyan
ide plant, producing from $4,000 to
$4,000 every month. The e. & e. is
owned in st. Louis, was operated for
a number of years by John H. Long
maid, as lessee, and has become one of
the most notable mines in Oregon. 1t
is opened with a 1200-foOt tunnel,
showing an ore body varying from 20
to 200 feet in width. With a 20stamp
mill and COMMENTATORS, 70 tons per day
have been handled at total cost of
$3.50 per ton. 1t has shipped about
$3.50 900 a year in concentrates and is
known to have paid profit of so per
cent. The consolidation of these two
big mines under one management, and
the provision of satisfactory process
of treatment of their ores, will result
in great things for Sumpter camp.
DEVELOPMENT of the Evening Star
mine. six miles northeast of town, is
progressing rapidly. The tunnel is in
200 feet and has reached vertical
depth of 80 feet. The ledge has been
crosscut 25 feet and shows body of
ore carrying values ranging from S5
to $50 per ton.
