FINDING ORE,

The work being done in section 81
57-22, says the Hibbing News, where
Gust Carlson has been operating

Three miles farther to the west,
near Oxhide lake, NJ. L. Fay has an

The trouble at Cape Nome between the

becoming so extended that it now involves
on one side or the other nearly everybody
in that community. including the Govern

all the officials in that country and re-

Gratifying Report Concerning the
Tobacco and Cotton Output

RICHMOND. Va. Jan 18,-Commlssion-
er of Labor Doherty submitted his an
nuaI report to the Governor. who will
transmit it TO the Assembly Wednesday.
The commissioner report is unusually
interesting this year. The figures for
the tobacco industry Of the State show
great activity. They indicate a most re-
marllable increase over last year. The
reports from forty tobacco factories show
that the total value of goods produced
in 1888 was 1852. .224-55. This is an in
crease over the last statement of $4-
971.71S.72. The total amount of capital
invested was $3.566, ,3S0-76.
The total value of the products Of the
cot.on mills during the year was s., ,656,
1915. The ircn manufacturing interest
shows up splendidly. Never In the his
tory OF Virgi lia has this industry pre-
sented such a favorable record. Reports
from twenty-seyen manufacturers give
the value OF products at $3.50 4S4 40 for
1893: capital invested. 1892, ,O75. 20;
amount paid in wages in 1899, $3.50

The Grab Game in yenerueia.

Late developments in regard to the
trouble in Venezuela are not calculated to
place either the Asphalt Trust or its
backer. the Administration in Washing
ton. in the most favorable light. The pre-
tended excuse for armed interference has
been that the local Government has denied
justice to the trust in seeking to expeI
It from Lake Feltcidad without permitting
lawful and orderly appeal 10 the Venezue-
Ian courts for an adjudication Of the DIFF
ference This view of the matter appar-
emily is not borne out by the facts
Il would appear from evidence printed
in New York newspaper that the ease
for the trust Is by no means as strong as
its officers and Washington members
would like the world to believe. 1t did
receive valuable asphalt concessions
from the Venezuelan Government. and
near, but il IS said not including. Lake
FeIieidad. But the trust occupied and
proceeded TO work that deposit. Under
the Venezuelan mining laws the Warner
Quinian Asphalt Company, it is claimed,
acquired the right TO work Lake FeIici-
dad which right was resisted by the As
phaIt Trust. The TWO concerns then
agreed to arbitration, and arbitrated with
the result that Lake Felicidad was de
cided not to be within the boundaries Of
the trust concession. and that the Warn
er-Quinlan claim ras good. But il seems
that the trust would not submit 10 the
award. ThereUpon, we are told. it was
notified by the Government 10 take the
matter into the courts. Instead Of doing
so. it appealed TO the United States. as
has been seen.

Iier It locks. There IS yer time for Presi-
dent Mckinley 10 wash his hands Of the

Gloomy Predictions From London.

The pendulum of public opinion ap
pears 10 swing treaty-ward in London, to
Judge from today's news. The impression
is growing that whatever may be the OBJ
iections of Lord Lansdowne to the Hay
Pauacefote Convention in its present
form, they viii be without effect upon
Lord Salisbury who in usually welI-in-
formed quarters, IS now expected 10 ac-
cept it without comment
The rather peculiar story is going the
rounds that as much as a year ago the
Premier caused the american Government
to be assured that he Vas willing to have
this country fortify tke Nicaragua Canal
and would not resist an indefinite suspen-
sion OF the Clayton -Bulwer Treaty. We
are not prepared to accord much credence
TO such a statement If true the State
Department could heve prevented a great
deal of friction over the matter in the
Senate by eonfdins the facts to the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations. Unless
Mr. Hay were more British than the
Marquis of Salisbury. he surely would
have done This.
We are greatly afraid that there is sub
stantfaI foundation for the latest pre-
dictIon in regard 10 the impending ac-
tion of the ministry. Yesterday we be-
gan to hope that the treaty might be re
jected- Il nov looks as if the worst is
