At Newport.

New York, May H.-Henry F. Devens,
agent of the Metals Trades Association,
today went to headquarters of the strik-
ers to ask for a joint conference. 1t was
announced later that President O'Connell
had sent word that the machinists could
appoint a conference committee.
Devens says the machinists are entitled
to nine hour day, but the question Is
whether or not ten hours pay for nine
hours work Is to follow the introduction
of the nine hour system. The members
of the Metal Trades Association say that
there Is not a word said about the wage
question and under another clause of that
document all such question when difficult
to settle are to be decided by arbitration,
the men remaining at work pending So
luton.
At the conference the committee OF the
Metal Trades Association asked that the
men return to work and refer the wage
question to the board of arbitration.
Business Agent Constant Booth of the
machinists said tonight
.There will be no arbitration. This mat
ter has gone too far for arbitration"
The machinists are well pleased with
the situation.

SHELTER TO CLOSE DOWN
It Will Not Affect Butte interests
No Ore Goes to It From
This Citv

Kansas City, Aug. 2S.-The Argentine
smelter one of the largest pants owned
by the American Smelling & Refining
company, and which employs 800 men,
will. it is announced, be closed down
Sept. Is. Assistant Superintendent Nc
Donald says the shut down Is to give
the plant thorough cleaning and de-
MES as utterly untrue a rumor that
the purpose is to trace an alleged short
age of 100000 in the ore accounts. 1t
is stated that this work can be finished
by Jan. 1.
Whether the smelter will reopen at
that time will, it is said, be determined
by the board of directors at their meet
ing in New York on Sept. II. A. r.
Meyer local member of the board, is
now in that city and Superintendent
Page is in Virginia.
A dispatch from Omaha quotes Guy
c. Barton, another member of the
board, as saying:
THE question whether to make ex-
tensive repairs, or to completely rebuild
the plant, is now under consideration.
How long the plant will be shut down I
do not know. There is no shortage at
tn Argentine plant. The business will
be handled at the Omaha plant. This
arrangement is only temporary, how
ever. as it is not proposed to perman-
emily close the Argentine plant"
During the shutdown some of the
employees will be transferred to the Ell
PasO plant.

has been developed to a certain extent,
and all of them have produced some ore.
The deepest shaft is down 100 feet.
There is shaft on each claim in ore.
None of the ore goes less than 10 per
cent in copper and all contains values in
gold and silver.
Six experts have reported on the
properties in past years. DR.. Swallow
made report in which he recommend
ed the properties. and the United States
geological survey once included ia
vorahle notice of them in a report upon
the district. About $1,000 has been ex-
pended in prospecting the various leads
of the group.
Repre- sentatives of the New York men
who have purchased the properties are
expected here the latter part of this
week or the first of next to examine the
mines and make estimates as to what
will be needed to properly equip the
property. 1t is the intention of the new
company to put up a steam hoist and to
begin development on scale that Will
ensure good returns. 1t was said to-
day by man interested in the property
that the company would sink at least
500 feet.
The deeds to the property will be
placed in escrow with a Helena bank
this week.

the property passed into the hands Of

Mr.. Towers sent four men to Ruby gulch

Monday morning to adjust matters and
found the men camped a short distance
from the claim, they having hesitated
to force the paddock which fastened the
mouth of the tunnel.
On Tuesday morning ]. l.. Stuart and

ORE FOUND IN THE BLACK ELK
Gives Returns of From $25 to 500
Per Ton-Located Near Rich Old
Placer Ground.

DIR. John V. Coles, James Allison and
w. c. Guthrie own the black Elk and
the Little Black Elk mining claims in
Hope gulch, about seven miles southwest
of Marysville and about three miles west
of the famous Bald Butte mine, says the
Marysville Mountaineer. During the
past two years four shipments of ore
have been made, the smelter returns
from which gave an assay from $2o to
500 per ton.
Last week the finest grade of ore ever
extracted from the properties was found
in the Black Elk at the bottom of
shaft 40 feet deep. The quartz vein IS
six feet wide. and the pay streak varies
from few inches to two feet. A TUNE!
had been run above the shaft on the
mountain, but was not driven so as to
intercept the vein which explorations
are now showing to be we'll defined. The
outcrop can be traced on the Little
Black Elk, where it is even stronger, but
of a somewhat lower grade.
The Black Elk claims are in the min
eralized belt of the Marysville district
and not far from claims where John
Larson and Harpin Davis have made
heavy shipments, and a little further
west are the famous SnowshOe copper
properties. The ores in the Black Elk
properties are similar to those In ANDY
Neenans mine, lead predomnating, ana
within 500 feet are the Hope gulch placer
diggings that produced millions from
1866 to 1875. and are still netting te
placer miners from SO to $40 day. DIR
Cole says all the owners are highly san
guine of the future of their mines anC
! that explorations will be pushed as rap
| idly as possible.

Here, just opposite the ridge, the mud had been rendered pretty firm for carts with broad Hanged wheels by the dumping down of gravel and rubbish. We. however, had nothing to guide us In locating the whereabouts of this
 path, now completely hidden beneath
 the water, and we blundered along on
 it's verge. The water was over our
 knees as we dismounted, and tn mud
 offered absolutely no resistance to our
 feet, We sank at every step, and only
 our agility saved us from sinking deep CT and deeper as we struggled toward
 the shore. But at last it was all over,
 and splashed from head to foot with
 sand. mud and water, we flung our un-
