RELIEF FROM sMELTER TRUST

Denver Mining Reporter: The widely
heralded action brought by the Attor-
General of Colorado to dissolve
the smelter trust" is not taken serious
ly, neither by the trust nor by the
mining men of the West. The Mining
Reporter believes the quickest and
most effective relief from the exactions
of the dominant smelling company is to
be found in the erection of competi>
tive smelters and other types of reduce
tion plants, which shall be related as
nearly as practicable TO the producing
mines themselves. II might even be
suggested that custom smelling con-
cern, which was required to pay fair
return on only the capital actually en-
ployed. could afford more equitable
rates to mine operators than is now die
tsted by an august committee that is
not so fsvorably situated.
Smelling is secondary and auxiliary
to the mining industry, and mining
men who have ore to smelt should so
far control the smelling of their own
ore as to prevent any monopoly from
standing between them and the open
market for their finished product. Ex-
listing conditions make it necessary that
they do not stop with the ore as their
product, but go step further and re-
duce it to bullion. The worlds market
opens at the bullion point.

New Species of Caribou Discovered.

The American Museum OF Natural
History has just placed on exhibition
the magnificent head and antiers of
a new type Of caribou, hitherto un-
known to science. 1t is the result of
an expedition recently sent out by
the museum for the collection of large
mammals, which, owing to their rapid
determination by white and native
hunters, are rapidly passing away.
The specimen obtained is considered
an important contribution to our
knowledge of the distribution of carl
bou in Northern North America. 1t
was found in the Kenai Peninsula
Alaska. The technical name of this
new specimen is Rengifer Stonei Un-
fortunately the entire body of til"
caribou could not be preserved. The
measurements of the animal in flesh
Were as follows: Full length, seven
feet one inch; height to withers, four
feet four inches. The two distinctive
features which mark this new member
of the caribou group are its colorations
and the large and unusual form of
antlers. The color description is as
follows:
''Tront of nCse back to middle OF
nostrils, chin and edges of lower lip

There is marked difference between
opportunity and a vacant lot. The
former seldom has a sign on it.
Faint heart never won fair lady,
but it undoubtedly has often saved it
self a lot OF trouble.
There are only two classes OF people
in this world-the envied and the en-

he seldom adds anything 10 it.
The world is full of people who

the home is to be completed in three
years. The site comprises a tract OF
land n mile and three-quarters long,
and three-quarters of mile wide, sit
uated in the heart of the Tennessee
Mountains. The place is so delight
fully situated that it is believed 1t Will
eventually become Il popular health
resort.
Among the larger buildings of the
group will be a memorial hall, mess
hall and chapel, and canteen similar
to those which We're maintained at
army posts many years ago will be
one of the features. The grounds will
be laid out in parks, groves and drive
ways, and the landscape features will
add 10 the picturesque appearance OF
the home.
General John r. Richards, of Maine,
has been appointed Superintendent Of
Construction.
The plan includes n large parade
ground and group of twelve barrack
buildings. These buildings will be in
a semi-ellipse and within easy walk
ing distance of the mess hall. Each
barrack building will have it's own
park, and everything about the place
will be so arranged that the inmates
may spend their days in perfect COM
fort amid surroundings that are natur-
ally beautiful.-New York Tribune.

To Study weapons of Filipinos.

The anthropologists of the Smith
sonian Institution at Washington will
shortly take up for study the subject
of Malay and Filipino weapons, cs-
peclally that class of knives or small
swords known as the "bolo." kris"
''pira," etc The study and investi-
CATION of this subject promises results
of a character highly interesting.
One branch of the study has to do
with the peculiar serrations at the
head or beginning of the double edged
blade. AS matter of fact, these SER
rationS are of no use whatever, the
bolo, or kris, being quite as effective
without them, and. what is more, it
is worthy OF remark that the weapons
thus ornamented are worn, or carried,
by the chiefs, persons of rank and no.
bility only, the weapons of the COM
mon herd bearing no such ornamental
ton.
Furthermore, no two weapons are
ornamented alike. Every family of
standing in the Malayan area has a
distinct design, differing from all 9TH
ers in the ornamentation of the bolo
blades, so that Malay, Moro or Tagal
is able, on reviewing Il collection of
such arms, to tell at a glance the fam.
lily to which the weapons belong.

have stirred Washington society more
than anything that the quaint Ori-

he had been in the capital.
The girls are exceedingly pretty, even
to the American eye, and the gorgeous
gowns which they brought with them
add to the interest and curiosity they
have awakened in Washington social
circles.
The youngest and prettiest is the
adopted daughter of the Chinese Min
lister. Her name is Miss So Ching WI,
and as the debutante of the Chinese
mansion will be the recipient of great
deal of attention.
But what has startled Washington
to it's very foundations is the eXtrava
giant gorgeOusness of the costumes that
came with Nine. WI and her young
charges. Those who have been privi-
legged to see them in advance of their
appearance at social functions declare
that they are simply wonderful in
their creation Rd that nothing even
approaching then glory has ever been
seen in any American city.
Colors have been most wonderfully
blended in the creation of these gowns,
while gold and silver trimmings, and
the most amazing embroidery work
has made them incompatible.

other feature of her advent in Wash

Mine and MiIlsits Improvements.

Failure to perform the annual assess ment work on lode location does not forfeit mill on millsite location that may have been located to be used in connection with the mining location. The two locations are distinct things. Either exists without the other. There is no law requiring assessment work on millsite locations or providing for forfeiture of Improvements made on millsite claims. A valid millsite claim cannot be located on land that is sub. ject to location as a mining claim. The improvements then that are made on a millsite claim can only be appropri- ated when abandoned or by an adverse patent granted to the land. Mining X Scientific Press.

h the Interest of Silver.

The house committee on coinage, weights and measures have reported ia vorably bill providing for the main. tenance of the legal tender silver dollar at parity with gold, and for the in
 crease of the subsidiary silver coinage. The bill authorizes the coinage of sub sidiary silver coin without regard to limit and as public necessity may re- qnire. The most important feature of the bill for the parity of gold and sil- yer dollars is as follows: 'The secre- tary Of the treasury Is hereby directed to maintain at all times a parity with gold the legal tender silver dollars re- maining outstanding, and to that end he is hereby directed to exchange gold for legal tender silver dollars when presented to the treasury in the sum of S or any multiple thereof; and all pro- visions of law for the use or mainte- nance of the reserve fund in the treas ury relating to United States notes are, in the discretion of the secretary of the treasury, hereby made applicable to the exchange of legal tender silver dollars.

body carries 12 per cent copper, and the balance from to B per cent. A cross-cut on this ore body is in 60 fset and Is still in ore. Running alongside this copper ledge, on the same claim, is gold bearing ledge in which punches Of gold ore, marvelously rich, are encountered. The average value of this vein IS given at sls per ton. A gentleman told the Courier man that
 he saw 50-pound lot of ore which came rom this vein that sparkled
 with gold on it's every surface.
 While engaged in making a cut in the Wizard mine, on Big Bug, the graders opened up body of ore eight feet wide and foo feet long A portion of the rock was dumped into the grade, but later the graders are piling It up by itself and saving il as it goes sSo.oo per ton in gold. The property Is owned by J. P. Dillon and Pat. ODonnell. The right of way which they sold to the railroad company, traverses the claim lengthwise, and a portion of it goes right over the ledge, which accounts for the opening up of this body of ore. This is said by peo. pie who are familiar with railroad building, to be the first case known to them where an ore body was encoun- tered by graders on railroad. Of course the owners are considerably elated over the discovery. Journal Miner.
 The Blsbee Review says that the Calumet and Arizona Company has recently added nine claims to it's al. ready extensive copper properties at that place and have begun extensive development work. These claims will be worked under the name of the Calumet and Pittsburg company, which is another name for the Calu. met and Hecla. The properties re- cently purchased by the Calumet company were owned by residents of Bisbee who have held these claims for some years past. Four of the claims were bought of Mike Brophy and Martin O'Hara for SlOo, 900, To per cent of which was paid down. The other five claims were owned by Messrs. Shattuck X LetsOn, and the purchase price was SS5, 900. The work was begun in earnest this week and shaft will at once be sunk to a depth Of 1000 feet The location is a very desirable one and is in every way con cenient one.
