CONCENTRATES WESTERN TOUR
President Roosevelt May Visit Cali
fornia Next Spring.

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-The Calls corre-
spondent is informed by an intimate
friend of President Roosevelt that he con-
templates a Western tour next spring or
early summer, such as Mckinley made
several months ago.
The President said to some California
callers that he ''hoped to be able to visit
California next spring. This was
thought to be a mere pleasantly, but he
afterward told some friends that ne
would go provided public business would
permit.

u resentative Victor Metcalf has
~ been highly honored by Speaker
Henderson, who to-day appointed
him member of the Ways and Means
Committee, which is the most important
committee in the House of Representa-
tives, just as the Finance Committee is in
the Senate. This Is an honor that seldom.
falls to member in his second term, and
Metcalf is receiving the congratulations
of friends.
California has not been represented on
the Ways and Means Committee since Nc
Kenna was a member. Mckinley was
chairman and his everyday contact con-
vinced him of McKenna's ability, and on
becoming President he made him Attor
ney General and then elevated him to the
United States Supreme Court bench, to
succeed Justice Fields.
Metcalf, on this Committee of Ways and
Means, will be in position to do much
for California, should there be an attempt
to revise the tariff. 1t is questionable,
however, whether there will be any at
tempt at revision on the part of the Re-
publicans, though, of course, the Demo-.
Gratis will urge it. Members will, however,
proceed Immediately to frame Philippine
tariff bill.
No Tariff Revisions.
The selection of Metcalf, it is believed,
indicates the purpose of the House lead
ers not to make tariff revisions or revenue
reductions during the present session.
Republican members of the committee
held a session to-day behind closed doors
to arrange a programme for the early
work of the session. After the meeting,
which lasted an hour, one of the members
said no action was taken except to dis
cuss the Philippine tariff matter. He said
| it was the intention of the majority to
| prepare a bill for immediate introduction
TO meet the situation created by the de-
cision of the Supreme Court. He thought
the bill would be ready next week and
would re-establish the old rates.

a clash has come between the Senate and

that the anarchistic breeding grounds in

test of the new mill on that property.
The button was taken from the first

Mr.. Hedges has had a crew of twenty

property for over year and expects TO
keep that number employed throughout
the winter. The men are raising g

Was Fatally Burned.

Tacoma, Wash, Dec ia sad acct
dent occurred about two miles from Span
away. The little 6 months old child Of
Carl Swaney had been placed in a high
chair before an open fireplace and a scarf
fastened around it to keep it from falling
from the chair.
Shortly afterwards a scream of agony
from the little one attracted the mothers
attention and she turned around to see
the child with its face in the fire. The
infant was quickly rescued by the agon-
lied mother, but the child was beyond
the reach of medical assistance. The
little sufferer fingered for a couple OF
hours and then passed away. The face
and neck were horribly burned.

MINING NOTES.

At Beaumont, Tex, a well has been
broke in, which enlarges the known oil
fields several acres, and brings it about
100 feet nearer the town.
A cubic foot of fresh water, with the
barometer at 80 in, weighs, at 80 de-
gress F., 62.423 h.; 62367 ID. at 60
degrees; 62.21S Id. at 80 degrees and
only SOL lb. at PIP degrees, a fair av-
erage being 6223 h., but usually called
625 lbs for convenience.
For tunnel and drift timbering,
round or split timbers will generally
be found most economical In shaft
work, sawn timber will generally be
found to cost less than round timber.
The latter require much work to frame
and are not so adaptable to machinery
installation.
The Northport smelter was closed
down on account of the failure of the
water supply. The reservoirs were al
most empty before the shortage was
discovered. One furnace was badly
wrecked and two others were frozen up.
The management estimates the dam
age at about $4,000.

This is equal to a cylinder 7 inches

Knoxville Tenn. Dec. l5.-Local de-
tectives now believe that the man who
fatally wounded Policeman Taylor and
shot Policeman Dinwiddie and made his
escape, is Harry Longbaugh. alias Will
lam Parker, the alleged Montana train
robber, who escaped from the Nashville
police a few weeks ago in an ice wagon
after an exciting chase.
Thirty eight hundred dollars worth OF
the stolen unsigned $40 notes of the Ma
tional Bank of Montana has been located
by detectives in the possession of local
saloonkeeper, and confscated.
Much of the money has been floated or
changed with merchants The location
of the $500 was disclosed by Luther
Brady, James Boley and John Whipple,
Knoxville men. who were arrested this
morning with Montana bank notes IN
their possession. The three men say they
won the money by gambling with the
fugitive, and they are known to have
been in Asheville, n c., last week. The
bills which have been recovered are num-
bered serially from 1901 to 1000, inclu-
sive. The government numbers are from
934. $40 to 925.l4S. 1t is thought the as

and he was seriously wounded in the fight
with the men he shot.

BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The Morrison mine, DeadwoOd camp,
recently shipped one carload of ore to
the CRANKY smelter.
1T now seems probable that the Silver
King mine, once the heaviest producer
in British Columbia, will shortly re-
sumo something like its old position.
Under the able management of capt
Clifford the development of the mine
has been successfully prosecuted, so
that now, as in the early stages of its
prosperity, it is able fully to occupy
one of the large furnaces at the Nelson
smelter.
The strike recently reported from
the Union Jack mine, on Porcupine
creek, has assumed large Importance
from the fact that some of the best ore
ever seen in this camp is now being
brought down from the property. A 49,
inch seam of solid galena ore entirely
free from quartz has been uncovered,
and is widening out with every addi-
tional foot of work. AS the best sur
face showings are still some distance
further on it is evident that the shoot
is one of considerable length.
1t is stated by those on the inside
that the Rambler-Cariboo company is
to double it's dividends after the first
of the year. There has been a push on
the stock during the last two weeks,
and the price has made quite an ad-
vance as a consequence. The company
is now paying a dividend of a cent
every sixty days and it is to pay cent
per month after the first of the year.
The financial condition of the Rambler
Cariboo company is said to be in the
best of shape. After the big com
pressor plant is paid for and other eX-
penses accounted there will still be a
balance in favor of the company of be-
tween $4,000 and 100000. The com
pany is now sinking on the ore body
and the men are in ore that is even
richer than that in which they have
been working. The company is con
etmplating sinking to the 600 foot lev
ell, and if the ore at that depth gives
the same values as are found in the
present workings the Rambler-Cariboc
will be one of the biggest mines in the
country.

The fire was caused by the explo-

The passenger was an Omaha-Chi-
cago thain and was running at high
speed being three hours behind time.
Scarcely a person escaped without
more or less severe bruises and cuts.
Only three or four persons in tho
smoking car escaped. The survivors
made heroic efforts to rescue the in
jured who were imprisoned in the
wreck, but the flames drove them back
at every point. The kissing of escap-
ing steam from the engine and the
roar of the flames drowned the cries
of the pershing victims of the wreck.
With the mercury standing at 90 de-
grees below zero the suffering of thosa
who escaped from the wreck was in
tense. Many of those who were in the
sleepers were scantily clad.
The wounded who escaped were
placed on hunks in wav car that was
detached from the train before it
caught fire and an engine that came
from the east took the car to Irene, a
small station four miles east.
