The fire started by the exposion of a
gasoline stove. The downstairs portion
of the buildings was used as stores,
while two families of Poles lived in the
upper rooms. All the occupants were
asleep when the fire broke out and the
majority of them were overcome by the
smoke and heat. Three policemen who
discovered the fire succeeded in carry
ing all the occupants to places of safe
ty The financial loss was small.

Posthumous Honors.

LONDON, July "a dispatch from
Picking says:
Posthumous honors have been be-
slowed upon a large number of civil
ians and soldiers who were killed in the
attacks on foreigners. their deeds being
commended by the court. Honors are
likewise bestowed upon their families.
In this and other ways the court still
shows it's belief that the war against
foreigners was legitimate, notwith-
standing foreign condemnations of the
outrageous methods employed. The
progressive officials are doubtful as to
what treatment they will receive when
the court returns.

PERHAPS A RAID
ON VENEZUELA
Consul General Esteves Talks
of a FiIibustering Ex-
petition.

NEW YORK, July 9-Consul General
E. Gonzales Esteves believes that for
mer President Andrade of Venezuela
came to this city about three days ago
incognito, having shaved off his beard.
He also believes that Andrade came
here from Havana by rail from Flori-
da. Taking this in connection with the
presence in the city of Nicholas Her
nandez, a son of General Jose Manuel
Hernandez, who is now in Jail in Mar
acaibo for having been one of the lead
ers in a. revolution against President
Castro. and Andreas Pietri, nephew
of General Juan Pietri, also a revolu-
zionist and friend of Andrade, and
Engel Fernandez, who is said to be
here to- buy arms for the Venezuelan
revolutionary party, Consul General Es-
teves thinks that a f1libustering expedi-
ton is soon to be started for Vene-
zuela.
Pietri came here about two weeks ago
and Is living at Harlem. Hernandez has
just reached here on the steamer Ca
racas. He went at once to the Office of
the Consul General and said he was
looking for work. Senior Esteves prom
ised to help him in his search. In the
meantime detectives have been en-
ployed to watch the young man, who
went to live at the house at which Pr
etri is. Consul General Esteves says
that he has detectives watching An
drade and Fernandez also. and that a
sharp watch will be kept for filibuster-
ing parties.
Both Hernandez and Pietri deny that
they have any intention of taking part
in any expedition to Venezuela. When
asked if they would join a filibustering
expedition IF one were started, they
said they were not in politics. General
Juan Pietri is mentioned as the leader
of the revolution I'M Venezuela if one
is started.

Rule.

NEW YORK, July 9.-The Cuban
PRONUNCIATION of the Cuban constitution
as the next logical step towards the
formation of new government, says a
Tribune dispatch from Havana. The
delegates think that it is useless to
frame an electoral law until the con-
stitution has been published. Merchants,
planters and newspapers of all political
opinion urge the speedy establishment
of new government. Some of the
delegates say that the military author
tiles intimate that the constitution will
not be promulgated at present.
Rumors current in Washington will
Interfere with the framing of an cleo
toral law The members of the conven-
ton desire to avoid any conflict in this
respect, fearing an unfavorable result.
Local public opinion is that matters
must remain in their present condition

commercial and Industrial interests pro-
test against any delay. demanding the
installation Of a Cuban government in
January.
tlEW . Ot' GOMEL.
NEW YORK, July 3 Accord
ing to the Herald's Havana cor
respondent, the utterances of Cen
eral Maxine Gomez and T. Es-
trada Palma in the United States
concerning the annexation of Cuba to
the United States are criticized by
many persons at the Cuban capital.
The general understanding seems to be
that the speakers referred to the dis
tant future after the re-establishment
of an independent government and aft
er the people of Cuba have had a free
opportunity to express a desire for an
nexation.
Much Of the speeches of the two men
is laid to the ordinary courtesy of
guests of Americans and to the speak
ers' desire to smooth over the recent
difficulties when Americans charged in
gratitude and Cubans charged violation
Of promises and the use of force.
Others believe that the utterances
were meant to prevent forcible annex
alton and so they represented that Gu
ba would voluntarily drift to the Unit
ed States after having gained independ-
ence.

The Butte inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912, 1901-12-05
A BUTTE MANS VIEWS.
He Speaks Of the Formation of Certain
V Copper Minerals in Shelters.

At meeting of the American associa-
ton for the Advancement of Science,
Prof. A. N. Winchell of Butte gave a
note on the formation of certain copper
minerals in smelters, in which he said
in part: "Chalcopyrite has been re-.
ported more than once as an accidental
product in metallurgical operations.
BOrnite, or peacock "copper" on the other
hand, has never been described as an
accidental furnace product. nor as pro-
duced by sublimation. Both of these
minerals are formed artificially at the
smelter of the Butte & Boston Consoli-
dated Mining company at Butte. The
minerals form slowly, attaining their
maximum thickness of about four inches
in the course of six months or a year, and
render necessary the frequent replace
ment of the old rails by new ones. They
form in the Allen-O'Hara calciner along
the rails in the bed of the furnace. In
fact they not only form from beneath the
fianges of the rails but also slowly re-
place the rails themselves. When the
rails are removed only a thin upper sur
face layer of iron remains; all the rest
has been changed into chalcopyrite and
bornite, with the exception of that por
ton of the rails completely embedded in
the brick bed of the furnace. There is
no sharp line or demarcation between the
remaining iron of the rail and the new
minerals formed. Examination of these
minerals shows that the one that is by
far the more abundant Is unquestionably
chalcopyrite; the other is in all proba-
bility bornite. An analysis of the former
mineral shows an excess Of iron; other
wise the mineral has the composition OF
pyrites of copper. Both minerals have
been formed by sublimation and not by
fusion, since the temperature of the fur
mace never rises high enough to fuse the
ores present"

RICHES OF CANDLE
CAPTAIN MERCER OF MONTANA
TELLS OF THEM IN SEATTLE.
THE GRAVEL FULL OF GOLD
All of the Greeks of the District Will
Be Worked to a Finish Next
Summer - Discovery Made
Late in the Season.

John F. Mercer. who was captain of
Company A, First Montana volunteers.
after the resignation of Captain Moran
when the regiment came home, and
who has been a leputy United States
marshal in Alaska. stationed at Candle
Creek, is now in San Francisco and will
shortly return to Montana.
Candle creek is a branch Of the Kee-
walick river, known among the Indians
as the Koowalick. which is the most
easterly stream but one flowing into
Kotzebue sound, on the northern or
Arctic shore of Alaska. The mouth of
the creek is u miles up the river. and
at the mouth of the river there is a
small estuary which. with an ordinary
tide, enables light draught vessels to
enter and anchor within the protection
of a long sand pit. The river is navigable
for small boats SO the digg ngs are al
most as easily approachable as those of
Nome, except for being much further
north and necessitating SEA Journey
around into the stormy Arctic sea. At
the mouth of the river there is a town
which is called Deering. after the name
of the schooner Abbie NJ. Deerng, which
was the first vessel to land supplies
there this season.
Deering this winter will be we'll es-
ward of 500 people, most Of the miners
from the diggings going there to spend
the winter. Two or three boats took
large loads of goods-umber and other
necessaries-there from Nome late in
the season after it was learned that
large number of men would want to
winter there. so there is no danger of
suffering. There will be some winter
work done along the creek, while large
stores Of supplies will probably be
hauled in near the diggings during the
winter for use in the spring when the
frost goes out.
Fifty Cents Per Pan.
Captain Mercer in speaking of the
district to the Seattle Times, said:
"Cande creek is tributary Of the ,
Keewalick river, which is the most east.
erly stream but one flowing into kotze- /
bue sound. Its mouth is about u
miles up the river. 1t was first discov-
cred and staked on July 20 by three
men, Thomas Paterson and Snyder
