patches today from Mexico City, max
ing clear for the first time what is to be
expected on the subject OF arbitration,
which has been the most important and
most direct problem before the congress
of American republics. The advices
came from American Delegate Buchan-

particular question. He states an agree

stance prevented the train from toppling
down fifteen foot embankment.

stanley Basin MINES.

The Stanley Creek Mining
Company Nimited) has been in
cerporated, capitalized at $780,
600, the shares being S1.O0 each.
This is a Boise company, says
the Statesman, and, unlike the
usual run of new interpretations,
all of the stock has been sub
scribed.
This company is organized for
the purpose of mining in what is
now famous as the Stanley Basin
country; where it owns large
areas of valuable placer ground.
The stockholders of the com
pany are /;
E. ]. Waters. president.
B. F. Olden, vice-president.
Edward Brannon, secretary.
H. N. Coffin, treasurer.
A. J. Glorieux.
J. M. Twiggs.
M. j. McGuigan.
1t is understood that the inten-
ton is to properly equip and ac'
lively develop the properties
under the control of the com
pany, and the result, it is believ-
ed, will be large output. 1t is,
as will be seen, purely Boise
company, and as such its opera
tions will revert to the benefit oi
Boise.
During the past several years
good reports have come from th'
Stanley Basin country, wher'
one dredge company netted owe
