TVRBINESCOMING.

The work of placing the steel tubes
in their proper places ut the power
station has been going on this week
and next week the contractor will be
ready for the wheels The wheels
were loaded on cars at Akron, Ohio,
last Wednesday and IL is estimated
that they will be in the Falls in ten
days from that date. SO as TO avoid
any possible delay the shippers have
made arrangements to have the ship
ment traced and report made to the
purchasers here Of their whereabouts
s,h day.
The construction work on the build
ing will be started next week and by
the middle OF November the whole
thing ought to be inclosed.
There was some excitement on the
work during the rainy weather last
week and for time IL was feared
that the Golfer dam might go out on
account OF the extra flow of water but,
by some lively filing and watching
il carefully, the threatened danger wa'
averted.

could get from the Pfister Land com
pany. That is the reason for the town
being where it is.
When 1 arrived here to take hold of
the exploratory work | found that one
pit had been put down on the Fair
banks and some ore shown up No ore
was shown in the pits on the old
Crystal Falls although there was ore
shown in the river bank. On the
Kimball there we're some pits down
but little else. first started crew
test pitting on the Fairbanks and after
got that we'll under way turned my
attention to the Crystal Falls. Here l
discontinued the test pit work and
erected a derrick on the high bank
whereby, with the assistance OF a
horse. we hoisted the ore out OF the
aide OF the river bank TO the stock pile
ground above. I continued work on
the Kimball for some time but finally
had the option holders relinquish It,
The c. g. N w decided TO build in
that summer and crew of surveyors
was sent 10 lay out the road The
surveyors went straight for the mines
irrespective Of the town and surveyed
TO cross the river down below the big
bend and 20 straight TO the Fairbanks.
In fact a piece Of the road bed was
graded over that way. Hollister and
Runkle, who were interested in the
town site, raised a kick and big
row ensued between the surveyors and
the promoters, that was not settled
until after the president OF the road
think IL was Mr. Hughitt and Co
Howe came here personally to inspec
the place. They settled the dispute b.
ordering the road run where IL is.
AS soon as the engineers located tn

started 10 strip the ore that had leen
shown mp in the testpits ana to build
the ore docks TO stock the ore on. We
had considerable ore mined and stocked
by the time that the rails were laid TO
tine mine. We got in q train Of cars
very soon after that so that the first
ore shipped from the Crystal Falls
district was from the old Fairbanks
At the old Crystal Falls we worked
the derrick and stocked lot Of ore on
the bank above. The track ran right
past this mine but as they didn't stop
to put in side tracks We couldn't ship
any ore from that property until after
the had finished laying the rails and
came back and put in the siding We
shipped ore about two months after
the railroad reached US that season.
During the year that the railroad
was being built there were explorations
in progress nc the Columbia and the
Youngstown. Mr. Shafer had succeed
cd in interesting the Union Steel com
pany in his property and they had
crew on the ground. The first ore at
the Youngstown was found by man
named Bundy who came up here for
the Briar Hill Iron and Coal company.
After Bnndy had found the ore Pat
Dunno was brought here from the
Felch Mountain district TO continue
the exploring.

MODERN

For that reason there has been revolt
among the rank and file Of the order

organized and are preparing to hight
the move TO finish.
The upper peninsula is a stronghold
of woodcraft and, so far, the influence
of tie reconcentrados has been para

the condition Of affairs up here and
are per caring campaign of proselyta-
tion. The head counsel Of the order,
who is lieutenant governor OF the state
Of Ill. will visit the peninsula shortly
and begin and campaign at Calumet.
Already, the announcement OF his plans
has stirred up comment from the
ranks of the reconcsentrados and there
ia likely to be some tall criticism OF
his work. The Crystal Falls camp is
at present in the reconsentrados ranks
and bids fair TO stay there unless the

ANOTHER TRUST BURSTS.
The Crude Rubber Company Placed
I'm Hands of Receiver.

The Crude Rubber Company Placed
I'm Hands of Receiver.
New York, Jan. 4-Oficial announce
ment was made this afternoon at the
office of the Crude Rubber Company
that a receiver had been appointed for
the company. The announcement was
accompanied by the following state
ment:
The Grade Rubber Company is in
the hands of a receiver in order to
avoid the obtaining of preferences by
attachment or otherwise, and in order
that all interests may be equally pro-
tected. The International Crude Rub
Der Company succeeds to the business
of the Crude Rubber Company and has
taken over the rubber of the Crude
Rubber Company for the purpose of
avoiding any conflict in selling. This
secures to the banks who have ad-
vanced on rubber of the old Crude
Rubber Company the highest price for
the rubber on which they have loaned
and preserves the largest equity for the
creditors of the Crude Rubber Com
pany."
The officers of the Crude Rubber
Company decline to make any further
statement as to the present status of
the company, the nature of its liabil-
titles, or its future prospects.
According to Mr.. Cromwell. the
Crude Rubber Company has now a
stock of rubber and bills receivable in
excess of S3,000,000. nearly all of which
is pledged to bankers. Mr.. Cromwell
said also that the companys direct LA
bilities are about $4,000, 900, added to
which are Endorsements and guaran-
tees footing up another two million
dollars. OF this latter amount about
100000 Is of the paper of George w.
Atkinson & Co, of Philadelphia, whose
failure was announced a few days ago.
When organized and incorporated in
1897 under the laws of Virginia. the
Crude Rubber Company had an au-
thoriZed capitalization of 100000. of
which $780, 900 was in preferred shares
and 100000 in common shares. Later
the common stock was bought in by
the company SO that at this time there
is only the 5000 900 of preferred stock
outstanding. Mr.. Cromwell lis author
ity for the statement that Flint & Co..
had 1920 shares of the six thousand
shares now outstanding. Their par
value Is 500.
Soon after it became known that the
Crude Rubber Company was in diff
culties. announcement was made that
the International Crude Rubber Com
pany, in which Charles r. Flint is one
of the leading spirits, had acquired the
business of the insolvent company.

BIG COAL PRODUCTION.
Our Output of Iron, Coal md Oil
All Something Enormous.

New York, Jan. 4.--The production
and progress of the mining and metal
lurgical industries of the United States
for the year just closed are reviewed
in the current number of the Engineer
ing and Mining Journal. Coal, upon
which all the other mining industries
depend for fuel, is treated first. The
total production was estimated at 300.-
900 900 short tons, an amount considera-
blv in excess of that brought to the
surface in Great Britain, and far be-
yond the quantity mined in any other
country. Nearly the entire amount
was consumed at home, de-
spite a material growth in exports.
There was great development in the
bituminous deposits and the softer
coal entered to a greater extent than
ever before into the market for COM
mercial and household fuel. The Jour
nal calls attention to the oil discover
les in California and Texas and pro-
nounces the latter the most important
since oil was found in Pennsylvania.
IL predicts that both will have an inn
portant bearing on the manufacturing
interests Of the states named, and in
the Southwest.
The iron trade showed a production
which a few years ago would have
been regarded as Impossible. and the
quantity of pig-iron exceeded the out
put of Great Britain and Germany
combined.

ACCEPT MONROE DOCTRINE.
Latest Development of Germany
Venezuela Affair.

Berlin. Jan. 4.-Herr Won Pilgrim
Baltazz. the German charge daffaires
at Caracas. handed President Castro a
fresh note on Thursday, reciting in
simple language what Germany de-
sires Venezuela TO do respecting all
her claims and the questions in dis
pute. An official of the foreign office
has informed the correspondent of the
Associated Press that the new note is
so phrased that no possible offense can
be taken. 1t contains no suggestion of
an ulumatum and no time limit for
compliance with the terms of the note
is named, though in presenting il the
charge daftaires asked for an early
reply. The object of the note is to at
ford President Castro an opportunity
Of yielding gracefully, and 1t conveys
no intimation of what Germany will
do II Venezuela refuses to pay the
German claims.
Diplomatic opinion here considers
that Germahy's representations to the
United states regarding Venezuela in
dioate that the German government
entirely accepts the Monroe Doctrine.
The papers have partly taken the same
view.
The Tageblatt says:
The phrase America for Ameri-
cans is an irreversible fact" some
newspapers, like the Cologne Volks
Zeitung, a leading Centrist organ, see
IN Germany's consultation with the
United states an unnecessary recog>
milton of the latter's "pretentions in
Central America" and the paper last
named AYERS that the representations
of the German ambassador DR.. Won
Holleben. at Washington, were fol-
lowed by "a fresh outbreak of inso-
lence upon the part of the American
press"

WiHemstad. Island of Curacao, Jan.
4, via Haytien Cable.-The armed rev
dictionary steamer Libertador, for
merly the British steamer Ban RICH,
has, it is believed here, landed the
expedition near Barcelona, Venezuela.
Advices received here from Caracas
show that the Venezuelan government
is without news Of the movements of
the steamer.
The vessels composing the Venezuelan
fleet are without coal, and besides
their engines are out of order and
therefore President Castros ships
could not put to sea and search for
the Libertador
About 800 partisans of Gen. Riera.
q Venezuelan revolutionary leader, are
awaiting his arrival near Coro, Vene-
zuela. When Riera arrives 1t is in
tended to set the country in a blaze
of revolt Six other bands of insurg-
ents, raised by Gen. Fernandez Men
doz and others, are under arms, but
they are avoiding coming into con-
f1ict with the government troops I'M
til they receive reinforcements and
arms and ammunition. The fact that
the governments efforts to capture
these bands have been without success
is looked upon by the revolutonists
as proof of the vitality of the revolu-
tionary movement
The Venezuelan government, accord
ing to the advices from Caracas, is
without money and is vainly trying to
buy war supplies in New York.
it is further asserted that the en-
ployes of the government of Venezuela
have been without pay for the past
six months. and that they are only
awaiting a favorable opportunity to
take part in the revolt against Presi-
dent Castro.
Later in the day it was reported that
the Libertador anchored last evening
at Machurucuto. small port situated
between Rio Chico and Uchire. and
that three Venezuelan war vessels had
received orders to start Immediately
for Machurucuto and endeavor to cap
ture the revolutionary vessels.
1t also became known later to-day
that Gen Riera left this island Thurs
day to join the insurgent forces on the
coast near Velacoro. and that doubtless
he was unable to land on Venezuelan
soil, for he returned Unexpectedly to
Curacao this morning.

lie interest in the canal is so well de-
Veloped that congressional action is not
only expected, but demanded. To what
extent Congress will go in the matter
of appropriations for the canal is a
subject of very serious consideration
by those who will have to shoulder the
responsibility for that great project.
I There are some who are in favor of
starting out with a large lump sum
appropriation to enable the work on
the canal to be commenced without de-
lay. There are others who deem it
advisable to provide the ways and
means for taking the preliminary steps
to acquire title to the property nee
essary for the construction of the canal
and to leave the details for its con-
struction to be provided for at a flu
ture session of Congress. This course
VIII doubtless be antagoniZed by the
enthusiastic advocates of the canal
who contend that the great surplus in
the Treasury should be at once ex-
pended to insure beyond peradventure
the flnal completion of the canal.
Notwithstanding the universal senti-
ment in favor of building an isthmian
canal there are many senators and rep
resentauves who have returned to
washington from their vacation bur-
dened with the desire to secure appro-
priations for their respective districts
even if progress on the canal has to
be delayed. Expenditures for rivers
and harbors. public buildings, pensions,
irrigation of Western land and similar
local projects are dearer to the hearts
or the average congressman at this
session than a great international
scheme like that of the canal. If 1t
should come down to question of sac
rlncing the canal to further purposes
nearer home the sacrifice will probably
be made to the disadvantage of the
canal. The congressional election
takes place next fall, and those mem
oers who seek reelection will make
strenuous effort to get what he con-
cefves to be his share of the surplus for
his constituents. With this spirit pre-
vailing in the House friends of the ca
nal are not so confident of the final
settlement of the great isthmian prob
lem during the present session as they
We're a few weeks ago.

barn had been burned at Gertrude,
and if he did not remember his tell
ing him that certain man would
not do in the dark" Pope had no
recollection of making any such re-
mark to Smith, and so told him. Then
it was that Smith asked him If he
did not tell him Mr.. Anderson Will

replied that he did not tell him any
such thing, when Smith became very
angry and cursed Pope and flourished
his pistol about in a very Threatening
manner
Pope tried to pacify Smith and in
vited him to go to bed or go home as
he thought he was too drunk to tax
about the matter, when Smith became
more boisterous and threatening, ana
when Pope insisted that he leave hrs
house, Smith left the room and walked
out into the piazza and commenced to
shoot at Pope through the door Pope
had a small pistol of his wifes that
had two cartridges in it and fired al

Bombarding a stomach with hot bis

to build back on good food is worth
