NuxIxe NOTES.

The regular monthly dividend Of the
Buffalo Hump Mining Company. opera
ting the Tiger-Poorman, on Canyon
creek. Occur d'Alenes. was paid recent
ly. The dividend was OF ten cents per
share. or SIS, 900 in all, making a total
for the company OF 100000. all OF
which has been paid within one year.
The famous Tiger and Poorman claims
which were located Just one day apart.
were consolidated some time ago under
the name of the Consolidated Tiger and
POorman Mining Company. This COM
pany sold out its entire holdings TO the
Buffalo Hump Mining company a little
over a year ago. and since then the
property has been operated with re-
markable success The shaft by which
the property is worked is down over
1900 feet. and in going that distance 1t
has paid dividends TO each company
that has done the work, though its
yield in 1900 probably far exceeds that
OF any year in its operation.
James Breen has returned TO Spo-
kane from a trip to Butte. Montana.
Word has been received by President
b. NJ Miller Of the Lucille Dreyfus
Mining company that an important
strike has been made on the company's
Alabama group in the Curlew district.
High-grade gaIena is being taken
from the drift in the Gold Hill, on Nine
Mile, South Half.
A double shift is pushing work on
the Addie B.. adjoining the Humboldt,
near Kellar, Washington. The ore Is
copper bearing and OF high grade.
Work is reported to have been tenn,
porarily stopped on the well-known
Congress group on Bridge creek, South
Half. An important deal is said to be
pending.
The output of the Alaska gold fields
for 1901 will be fully s15.000.OO0.
George e. Roberts. the director Of
the mint, today made public his pre-
liminary estimate Of the production Of
gold and silver in the United States
during the calendar year 1900 The
. aggregate Of gold is given as S.SS7 81:
fine ounces, valued at SIS, S22, 2S1, anC
of silver ss.el0.543 fine ounces, which
at the approximate average price Of s.
cents for the year, makes S36.362.4S1.
During the calendar year 1893 tbs
gold production was $71.053, 400, anS
the silver production 54.T64.500 in'
ounces. The Nome gold and silver pro
duetion for 1900 is given as s5.10o.ooo
: and that Of the Klondike, which in
cludes both American and Canadian
, fields, SIS, 2S7. 56e. The product Of tn
Canadian mines is not included in tn
figures given, but as the gold comes {

About 1000 men are employed about
the mines tributary to Sandon. and
strikes are being reported constantly.
Few transfers of mining proprties have
been reported recently, but the camp
is nevertheless a busy one. Bodies OF
the richest ore yet found in the distdiet
have recently been met in the lower
workings Of the Bosun, on SLOGAN lake:
the Queen Bess. the SLOGAN Star and
the Ruth. Between the 500 and 500
foot levels the ores have somewhat

lively.
1t is estimated that shipments from
the SLOGAN last year were little short
OF 10000 tons.

Pekin, Jan s-The protest Of the vice
roy Of Yang-tse to the signing Of the joint
note has created little surprise here, but
the fact that the other southern viceEoys
also have protested, causing the court to
instruct the pleniPotentiaries not to sign
Pekin. The agreement has not yet been
presented for signature The ministers b.
lieye, however, that Prince Ching Is too
irreyOcably bound verbally, and think he
will sign tomorrow.
The objections Of the southern viceroys
are precisely the same a. those which
the court originally teiegrnphed 10 Prinos
Ching and concerning which, on tina rep
reservations Of Prinoe Ching and ii Hung
Chang, the court eventually agreed to en-
deaV0r TO make better terms after the
signing of the note.
The court doubtless was informed u
the protest from the south. because ii
was generally felt that the dynasty had

Addition Will be Made Which Will
be Entirely Modern.

Mr.. Gordon, owner of the Rock
Island hotel, will vastly improve
the structure by building an addi-
tion of five large rooms on the
west side of the present edifice.
1t will be two stories in height.
and will be 25x25 feet in dimen-
sions. The excavating for the
foundation is now in progress.
The proprietor has recently put
in bath rooms and other inside

arrangements for sewer connec-
tions Trese will be made with the
new system which has just been
laid alongside this hotel. He is
also making arrangements to put in
hot water apparatus, At ate
not far distant the Rock Isla nd

its appointments and will be strict
ly up to date in every respect.
The lack of such Improvement is

ALL the West is interested in
the plan to have the government
build system of storage reservoirs
near the head waters of streams to
use for irrigation purposes. The
idea is that private capital might
be depended on to distribute the
waters to the users. AS the gov
ernm ent controls rivers, it could
appropriately undertake the diver
sion of superhuous water in the
winter and store it in reservoirs
for use during the dry summer
months.

AT a meeting of the census com
mittee recently it was decided to
call on the director of the census
for information concerning the
total number of male citizens over
Il years of age in each state and
the number denied the right to
vote. This is the first step to be
taken in connection with the de-
sire of Mr.. Crumpacker to reduce
the representation of states dis

doubt that the subject will be
desperately fought over in the

GIRLS IN NEWSPAPER OFFICE.

"Is the Newspaper Office the
Place for Girl2" is the theme OF
an editorial symposium in the
February Ladies' Home journal.
Some time ago Edward Box sent
letters to one hundred men and
women editors asking: IF you had
young daughter, desirous or
forced TO go into the outer world,
would you, from your experience
as newspaper woman, approve of
her working in daily newspaper
office? If not, why not? And un-
der what, if any, circumstances
or conditions would you sane
tion it?"
OF the fifty women addressed on
the subject forty-two responded -
all but three in the negative. OF
these twenty were married and
nearly all the twenty are mothers.
There were thirty answers from
the fifty men editors, who we're
unanimous and emphatic in their
opinion that the newspaper office
was not fit place for a girl. They
take much the same general view
of the matter: that the exigencies
of newspaper work is a severe tax
upon the physical strength, and
that the influences of newspaper
office are almost sure to coarsen

BURNED BY nOLTEN MATTE.
Serious Accident at the Rocky
fountain Smeiter Plant.

The first serious accident at tn e
Rocky Mountain smelter since il
was "blown in" occurred yesterday
afternoon, and as result John
Ragan lies in precarious condi-
ton at his boarding place on I'm
ion street, and there are serious
doubts as to whether he can sur
vive.
Ragan was roustabout, and
was employed at the time in break
ing matte. He broke one ladle or
pot of the stuff that had not cooled
on the inside, and when the crust
was cracked open the contents ran
out into pool of water left after
the hose had been used in cooling
.he matte. The hot liquid coming
in contact with the water caused
three successive explosions and
the molten metal was splashed in
to Ragan's face and showered over
his body, One of his eyes was
burned out, his mouth, tongue and
face were literally cooked and his
arm and chest were burned. Ra-
gan was hurriedly removed to a
physicians office and later to his
home. 1t was believed last night
tnat he would recover, but doubts
as to this are expressed today.
