WEST INDIES.

There appears to be no hitch in
the negotiations for the transfer d
the Danish West Indies to the
United States except in regard tc
the political status to be accorded to
the inhabitants of the islands under
the American rule. The price, it is
understood, has been agreed on and
a number of important terms have
been arranged to the satisfaction Of
both parties, but there remains the
question of political status. IDen-
mark is desirous of having her insu-
lar subjects given all the rights OF
American citizenship, but this gov
ernment hesiatates to agree to such
wholesale naturalization, prefer
ring to leave the status of the in
habitants undetermined until con-
gfess shall provide a form of gov
ernment. When this question has
been adjusted the treaty will be
signed, probably at Copenhagen,
where Mr.. Swenson, the American
minister, is conducting the negotia-
tions with the Danish foreign office.
The wishes of the inhabitants of the
islands in regard to the change have
already been expressed, a pleebes-
cite having developed that major
ity was favorable to the transfer from
Danish to American control. The
treaty in course of preparation pro-
vides for the sale to the United
States of all islands, st. Thomas, St.
John and St. Croix.

The Neihart mining district has
taken new lease of life during the
past IL months, and the town of
Neihart, which for years after the
depression of silver appeared almost
deserted, is now a bristling town
with every indication of a prosper
GUS future. The great Broadwater
group of mines has shown wonderful
possibilities, and adjoining this group
d. J.. S. Barker, one of the most
successful mining operators of the
state, is developing new discovery,
the Silver Belt, which promises to
outclass any other gold and silver
property in the state. Fifty tnous-
and dollars have already been spent
in the development of this mine, and
the ore taken from it has more than
paid for the work that has been
done.
The past year has also witnessed
at Neihart the construction
of concentrator for the treat
ment of low grade ores. Its
successful operation has demonstra-
ted that the immense bodies of gold
and silver ore, some of which runs
as low as So or SO to the ton, can
be profitably worked, and it has lent
new impetus to the camp. There is
also considerable interest being tax
en- in the contemplated construction
of a custom concentrator, which, if
it materializes, will open up proper
ty that for years has been considered
valueless. There is scarcely doubt
but what the custom mill will be
pushed to early reality. Nearly
every business man and mine owner
in Neihart is ready to take stock in
it, and its establishment will be the
beginning of ain era of prosperity
that has never been dreamed Of

cred, or are so low grade in value
that they cannot be extracted with
profit, and this is the main reason
OF many mines being abandoned and
afterwards reopened and operated
at greater profit than was originally
earned. Experience has taught
mine operators this fact and eneour-
agement is given to the further ex-
sloitation of mines once possessing
substantial bodies of pay ore, which
were worked out and active mining
discontinued because the operators
had failed to use a proper proper
ton of earnings in the carrying for
ward of developments.
With great frequency in mines
carrying sulphide ores barren zone
occurs soon after The permanent
water level is reached and contin-
ues through what is termed the ebb
and flow water line. Every season
the permanent water line rises and
recedes in every mine and there are
periods of season when the water
line Is much higher or lower than
during average seasons. Within
this ebb and flow water line the ore
becomes decomposed and the metals
are leached out. During the long
period that this process has contin-
ued new ore bodies are formed con-
tanning little or no metallic values,
and in the early days of quartz min
ing it was supposed that the entire
ore body in the vein below the depth
where the barren zones were first
encountered continued of like value
less character, but gradually it was
found that equally good ore existed
below these barren zones, so that
now no intelligently conducted
mining enterprise permits explora-
tions of the lode to cease until they
have extended far below the line of

ONE ARREST.
j. j. Grove, Brother of Pat Grove,
Suspected of Kidnapping Cudahys
Boy is in Jail.

| hoy IL IN jail.
Omaha, Jan. 1.-The first arrest
in the Cudahy kidnapping case has
been made. +. J. Grove, brother of
Pat Grove, whom the police believe
to be principal in the abduction, was
taken into custody in Council Bluffs
this afternoon by Omaha detectives,
and brought to this city.
the warrant charges Grove with
the abduction of Young Cudahy on
December Is. Grove consented to
accompany the officers across the
river without the formality of requi-
sition papers.
Early this afternoon posse of de-
tectives with search warrants and
complaints charging abduction, ran
sacked the premises adjacent to J. j..
Groves saloon in the hope of dis
covering Pat Grove in his place of
concealment.
They had the necessary papers
for the arrest of both Pat and his
brother. Early in the day the pol
ice had been given a quiet tip that
either Pat Grove was making his
hiding place in his brothers saloon
or the brother knew more than he
would divulge about the kidnapping,
and the letter recently written to
the Cudahys, threatening the death
of their son if the reward Of the kid
napers was not Withdrawn.
A diligent search disclosed no
trace of Pat Grove, but the officers
came upon the brother asleep in the
back room. They hastily awakened
him and took away his two bulldog
pistols which he carried il his pock
cts. The man was first taken to the
Council Bluffs station by Detective
Weir of the Iowa department, and
then he was conducted across the
river for an examination by Chief
Donahue.
A woman who is suspected of be-
ing Pat Groves companion when he
called at the Schneiderwind home to
rent the Melrose hill house, was also
arrested and is now in the city Jail.
Her name is Alice Adams and she is
sister ST Mrs. J. J. Grove. She
was in the house at the time her
brother-in-law was taken by the
officers, but was not herself arrested
until nearly an hour later. She will
be held in the city Jail until Mr..
Schneiderwind can be brought from
Shelley station to attempt to identi-
fly her.
When Grove was arrested he was
in drunken stupor and the police
were unable to get much out of HIM
tonight.
the police here know nothing of
Pat Grove at Oelrich, S. d., and
discredit the report of his arrest.
Grove was put in the sweat box
tonight, but denies any knowledge
of the whereabouts of his brother
and that he has had nothing to do
with the kidnapping. The police ex
pect, however, to secure some valu-
able information about Pat Grove
and his recent doings. The woman
arrested has been discharged.
