tally injured recently in the High Ore
mine. He was shoveling on the 500 foot
level with several other miners when
fall caught him. He was badly bruis-
ed about the body and his skull was

The rich lead development on the
Cracker-Orgeon properties during the
past two months has given impetus to
mining in the Sumpter, Oregon, dis
trict heretofore unknown. Mining is
being resumed on a larger scale on
several old properties, and development
work has begun upon many new claims.
The largest nugget of solid gold
ever uncovered in the history Of placer
mining was the one at Mt. MoliaRel.
Australia, in 1869. II weighed 1870
pounds and was valued at &45, 800.
The largest one interpreted with quartz
was found in 1872 in New South
Wales. 1t tipped the scales at $40
pounds and was worth &I4s. 900.
William Lambert, president and
general manager Of the Montana Min
ing company, owning the Blue Bird at
Deer Park. b. c., says they have
shipped the machinery for a concen-
traitor at the Blue Bird. 1t is their
intention to develope their great water
power and by this means generate the
electricity to run the concentration.
Their mine is situated in the SLOGAN
district. They have an immense
showing Of gold, silver, copper and lead
ores.
There are now 60O0 people in Dawson
City, and as many more within the
district having a radius of 90 miles.

holders who had no capital We're forced
70 sell 70 the companies which had,
and thus ownership has become CEN
tralized- The companies either ship in
their supplies themselves or buy from
the larger concerns at Dawson, and the
small traders have been brought to cry
ing hard times. The first figures esti-
mating Dawson's yield for this year
were $22, 900 900, but corrected figures
give it at SIG. OOO. 900.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1902.

Considerable disappointment was expressed in regard to the president s reference to the isthmian canal in his recent message It was hoped, but largely without reason, that afr Roose- welt would be in q position to give more definite information in regard to the negotiations with Colombia than had been afforded by the press. It is learned af the state department, how ever. that the succession of Dl, Hefran, vice senor Cc11cha, as Colombian min ister to the United States, ausurs well for the negotiation The question of sovereignty over the gene of the canal is regarded as decided and there only remains q difference as to the remunef- alton. Colombia has 50 far demanded an annual rental Of mere than S50e,000 in excess Of that the United States is prepared to pay.

Gold exports to Argentina attracted some attention last week, says Bank CT Henry CIeWs, not so much because of the amount, which was small. IS for the fact that London was able to shift the demand from that point upon New York. It is fortunate that payment to British holders Of White Star Steam ship stock on behalf Of the steamship combination was financed without gold shipments. In spite of th.s transac- ton it is now believed, however. that American indebtedness to Europe has been largely reduced during the lost two months, and that some of the loans held i'll Paris, London and Berlin have been transferred to New York. If this be true the financial situation may be better than it appears to be; still there is so much mystery connected with these huge and secret transactions that prudence demands a cautious policy un- til the outlook is more cdear. The fu- ture is not unpromising by any means. but safety demands readjustment upon q lower level. Speculative opinion on the market is about evenly divided, and as both sides are confident in their views the opportunities for trading should be ample. Perhaps the new year will see change for the better.

QUEEREsT SUIT ON RECORD.
Partners in Highway Robbery Wen, Into Court to Settle Their Busi-
 ness Accounts.

Perhaps the most remarkable suit ever brought is on the records of the court of the exchequer in England It was filed on October 3, 1725, aud it sets forth very clearly that John Everit and Joseph Williams were highway robbers, says the New York World.
 In the succinct legal phrases the complaint says that the men formed partnership for the purposes of carrying on business as highwaymen. It was mighty profitable, as was shown by the fact that Everit sued Williams for the equivalent of s5,oaO. "being for moneys wrongfu11y appro- priated to defendants private purse"
 This was the amount in dispute after the partnership had lasted only a year. Then Eyerit claimed that he discovered that his partner had not made fair division of the spoi.s.
 The action was adiudged to be a gross contempt of court, and ths plaintiff was ordered to pay all costs, while the solicitors who served the writ were fined E 50 each. One of the solicitors, man named Wreathcock, refused to pay the fire and was sent to prison for six months. Both plaintiff and defend ant to this action were subsequently, hanged-one at Tyburn and the other at Maidstone.

NIGHT TURNED INTO DAY.
The Expensive Notion of n Retirea stock Broker Who Had Money
 to Burn

A transformation of the interior of a family mansion resulted in an ex- traordinary inversion of the plans oi nature. The owner, Mir. BrownjohE, a retired stock broker, was deter mined to turn night into day, and it cost him thousands of pounds to do it, according 10 Pearson's Weekly. All the outside windows of the house were built up, so as to exclude every ray of natural light Entrance to the mansion was by an underground pas. sage; and every room had a door and window opening onto a magnificent . central space, which was open to the roof. From the roof. when it was night outside, an imitation sun shonc forth an electric glare, which flled the whole place with light as of day.
 The wealthy eccentric rose at nine o'clock each evening, and, having brealfasted, started on a days rou- tine of work and pleasure. He lunched at one in the morning, drank a cup of tea about four a. m., and dined at seven o'clock, retiring to rest about ten and eleven a. m., when, by an ingenious sliding ar- rangement in the roof, the bright sky and imitation sun were at once transformed into concave expanse of inky blackness; from out of which a host of false stars twinkled, and an artificial moon shed forth her spur;- ous beams

The recent reduction ill the hours of labor for soft coal miners has not been accompanied by any corresponding re- .duction in the amount of work done by each workman, John Mitchell says. On the contrary itbe reports of the Unit ed States. geological survey demon strate that more coal has been pro- iduced annually since the inauguration of the eight-hour day than in any pre- ceding year. Each miner produced more coal per working. day, ,in eight hours than lie formerly produced in ten hours The labor Of miners is unusually arduous and hazardous In the anthracite mines 2,6 persons are killed daily, three times that number are maimefl. and few miners escape miners asthma. ..Isne miners are com pelled to work in powder smoke, in foul air, many of them in water, and their work i difficult and exhausting. Reputable insurance companies will not issue policies to this class of work men,

WHAT FOOTBALL IS.
Calls for Great Pluck as We'll as 8rnFvn and There Is No Excuse
 for Failure.

When 3 human catapult, in leather helmets and dirt-slneared canvas suit, springs suddenly and with terrific mo- mentum at you through hole rh tho line, you grit your teeth and drive in to stop it. If you bring down your man you can jump back to your place behind the line, with the b1each- CTS rattling, and feel that you have done what was expected of you. But if you missed your tackle, and merely stopped the avalanche by rolling un- der it, you limp back to your position with just as many bruises and with the coaches yelling srotteno at you. After two steaming, aching 25-minute halves of that sort of, thing you go back to your special car".to the gym and get call down from the trainer. That's football, says Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly. It's pluck most ly. Without that no amount of mere brute muscle is worth anything at G 1T

Whether the republicans are actually awakened to the necessity of antitrust legislation, or whether they regard it as one of two evils, the other of which is tariff revision which the leaders So strenuously oppose, or whether there is merely an understanding by which the house will pass antitrust iegisia- ton and the senate bury the bill, the democratic leaders have not yet deter mined. but whatever may be the lnten- tfon Of the republicans, the democrats will do all i'll their power tO promote legislation so essential to the welfare of the people. With q singular unanlm- ity both parties are working on all antitrust bill. Representative Rich- ardson states that the democrats Will cheerfuily support any sensible anti trust measure on the floor Of the house, sinking party advantage in the cause of the whole people. Representative Littlefeld's bill is being made the foundation for the measure which the Judiciary committee will report to the house, and there is some prospect of q favorable report before the holiday re cess. The bill provides for that pub Iicity which the president has pro- nounced so essential and imposes tax of 1 per cent on all stock of cor poratfons having | capital stock in ex- cess of $50O,G0o which is not actually paid up.
