JEROME SITUATION
 IS VERY SERIOUS.
THE FIRE IS STILL RAGING AND
 EMPLoYEs DISSATISFIED
An Arrival from Jerome Tells Soms interesting Facts Heretofore Un published


 People are deserting Jerome in crowds Last Wednesday 1S6 tickets were sold to partles leaving and this past.
 The fire burning in the mine at the United Verde has been going on for some weeks, although it has not been so serious as of late. One of the lower levels, or rather com partments, has caught fire on several occasions but that has been easily handled up to the present time. After the fire spread from this drift to oth- CTS it has become entirely beyond control.
 What disposition will be made with the present condition of the mine at Jerome will be watched with a great degree of interest by the mining world.
 While the fire ats Jerome is direct. ly responsible for the shut down, still there is an under current of discon- tent at Jerome between employer and employe, not known to the general public. although it is an open secret there.
 The management and the Miners uUlOU are uOt WOi hiue III ho' hhon'
 This state of affairs has been grow ing noticeably and rapidly for the past two years" was stated to the Review yesterday, by one well acquainted with the situation. For the past few months this i'll feeling has increased One thing responsible for this is the fact that w A. Clark raised the scale of wages on his Montana proper ty. but refused to raise the wages at Jerome. This was opposed bitterly by the miners union al that place.
 Continuing. our informant said Not long ago Superintendent GlrouS imported a carload of Mexican miners and they were en route to Jerome when the train reached a bridge un derneath which had been placed charge of dynamite. and but for pre- mature explosion the entire tram would have been blown to atoms.
 The car was backed down to Jer rome Junction and that train with the Mexicans never came into the camp
 This is one of the incidents that have taken place there and inquiry brings further dissatisfaction to light
 At present the mine is practically shut down and there is no way of tell irg when it will open again" w. A Clark is expected soon to look into the situation.

TREASURY DECISIONS
Tourists Allowed Exemption of Arti- cIes for Personal Use to Value of One Hundred Dollars
(El Paso News

(El Paso News-)
 Collector Pat Garret was notified this morning by the treasury depart ment that a decision had been recent ly rendered by Leslie M. Shaw, secretary of the treasury which made free of duty articles purchased abroad to the value of s100 by tourists from the United States. under the provisions of paragraph 697 of the act of 1897.
 The matter was brought to the at tion of the secretary of the treasury. by the application of A. c. Hancock of Washington. for the refund of duty Of s2. 40 assessed and collected by the collector of customs at Eagle Pass when MT. Hancock was returning from a trip to Mexico. The articles held in question were some drawn work handkerchiefs. which MT. Han cock had purchased as presents for some of his lady friends. These were held to be duJiable by the Eagle Pass official. The ruling was sustained be cause they were not for use of NIT. Hancock.
 The regulations provide for an ex- emption of duty of all wearing ap- parel. articles of personal adornment, toilet articles or similar personal ef- fleets. not exceeding S10 in value for the personal use of the tourist.
 The decision of the secretary now IS that under a recent construction O, the law. it seems to be the intention to allow American tourists to bring with them on their return s1cO worth of foreign purchased articles, for the "personal use of the passenger.
 The secretary therefore holds that articles so purchased abroad are moi strictly confined to those in the na ture of wearing apparel. articles ol personal adornment. toilet articles. and personal effects but must be for per sonal use. But professional lmple ments. tools of trade, etc, are free only when brought by persons emigrat ing to the United States and house hold effects. to be free. must have been in use for period of year or more
 The decision is of great importance to this port. as the collector has con stantlv to deal with questions of the same nature.

about the condition of the health of all
the residents of Jackman and vicinity,
ana Bob asks about several whom he
knows in Canada. The two men are
very well Informed regarding the gem
eral department and health of most of
the residents of the two sections Of the
world.
Bob" Hewey. The latter at the same
time swings a bag at his friend. The
swings depend upon the number of bags
or pouches to be exchanged.
Sandy bay has not changed much in
two decades. The distance from Jack
man to the line is IS miles, The passen-
gers on a recent trip were kept in good
humor by the yarns of Bob" Hewey,
who can tell a story much after the style
of the famous smuggler who many years
ago was wont to bring rum from Canada
in bags of corn and between sheep pelts.
At the line a hotel or inn is maintained.
There is no postoftce at the border and
no place exists where the mail carriers
Sam and King Edward swap mails in the
middle of the road.
When the pouches have been Changed
both drivers go into the inn TO borrow q
match, and few minutes later set out
for their destinations. Each driver has a
charge for several residents along the
road, Bob" sending verbal messages. ac-
companied with a few notes by p. Farley,
and tho latter having ordered a few arr
ticles from the Jackman stores which
will be delivered to him the next day.
In sunshine and storm, calm or biz
zard, the two faithful drivers meet daily
at the line. Sometimes Bob gets there
first because snow has delayed p. Farley.
On these occasions Bob covers his
horses and treads around the outfit in an
attempt to keep warm until his Canadian
colleague appears When real old-fash-
Toned snowstorm drops around, the snow
is always deeper in Canada, according to.
p. Farley, and always deeper in Maine
according to Bob
On occasions this is the greeting Of
Bob always delivered in tones Of
studied dignity:
compliments OF the government OF
the United States,'' to which Farley re-
plies:
Compliments OF Edward, King OF
Great Britain Ireland, Scotland. Wales.
Canada, South Africa and India
King Edward and Uncle Sam may rest
satisfied that the duty Of the stage driver
of the north wood is well performed. The
compensation accorded those men would
not keep gallery god supplied in theatre
tickets for more than six weeks, but
there is a revenue to the drivers from ex-
press packages and errands performed
for patrons along the routes which makes
up for the deficiency government pay

SWAPPING MAILS.
international Exchange Made
Daily at Sandy Bay.
Last Remnant of Stage Days Between
Boston and Canada.
Two Faithful Drivers Meet Regularly
at the Line.

Swapping mails is an everyday Incl
dent between Uncle Sam and King Ed
ward, but the manner in which it is done
in the Sandy bay section up in north
ern Somerset is interesting in way
A little more than half a century
ago there were no railroads in Maine,
and travel was by stage from Boston
to Canada. In those days there was a
general route between Boston and
Bangor. From Boston to Portland and
from that city to the Kennebec river
was 2. we'll travelled highway, over
which stages drawn by four or eight
horses piled daily.
I Beginning at Portland the Boston
passengers and mail started over the
route to Brunswick, where connection
was made with mail and passengers
from the river towns adjacent to Bath.
The old Harpswell stage line is still in
operation. The stages crossed the An
drosccggin river at Brunswick and
Topsham and then proceeded up the
kennebec river valley along the same
general route at present traversed by
the main line of the Maine Central rail-
road.
After passing through this city the
stages proceeded as far as Getehells
Corner, now Nassalboro where course
taken nearly due east for several miles
and thence north to Bangor, through
Burnham, Pittsfeld, Newport and Car
mel.
From Bangor the stages ran east and
north to New Brunswick and northern
Aroostook. Residents lof Augusta
spoke of the route east of this city as
the Bangor stage road" and of that
west as 1.-THE Boston stage road" Al
Getchell's Corner the road branched
and continued up the Ksnnebec river
valley, passing through Winslow, Wa
terviile. Fairfield, Skowhegan, straight
up to the Canada line. Little by little
the stage route was reduced by the adj
vent of the railroad. When the trains
came as far as Augusta western stages

We're discontinued, and when they got
to Waterville the stages started from
that city for Bangor and the upper
Kennebec valley.
Section by section the stages dropped
out Of existence, the trains reaching
Bangor and finally the upper Aroos-
took section. Then Skowhegan had
railroad, and the famous Forks
stage" was the medium of transporta-
tion above that town. The Somerset
railroad was built about so years ago.
and a few years ago entered the vii
lage of Bingham, % miles above Show
hogan. and the route of the Forks
stage was shortened just one-half.
Under the Old rule a stage was sent
out from Skowhegan every morning
and arrived at The Forks-the junction
of the East Branch and Dead riyer-at
night A stage left The Forks every
other day for Canada, pushing through
as far as what was known in those
days as Moose River now called
Jackman. Today the stage goes only
as far as Parlin pond, about Is miles
above The Forks, the Canadian Pacific
railway taking mails destined for jack
man from Bangor and west. All that
is now left of the old Canada road for
stage use is between Jackman and the
line and that part of the old road on
the other side of the. line as far as a
little place called "Thompsons."
The people in Maine, when speak
ing Of the route to Canada, used to call
It the Canada road" Canadians, when
aliuding to the same route, designated
it ''the Kennebec road" Now it is
called 1.-The Sandy Bay road by those
about Jackman and the "Jackman
road by Canadians.
A newspaper Representative recent
ly visited the Moose river section and,
having once been a frequent visitor to
that section-in the days Of the stage
coach-could not but note the changes
that have come by reason of the advent
of the railroads. Moose river settle
ment and Jackman are a mile and a
half apart.
About the Armstrong house. the
principal hotel in that part of the world,
can always be found a number of the
old timers who have seen the forest
dwindle before the vigorous swing Of
the settlers AK. OF all these, perhaps,
t'Old Bill Hyde" is the most character
istic. He settled in Moose river when
a boy, and heis now well up in the sos.
He remembers that it once required
four days to reach Skowhegan, and, to
use his own. expression: Sometimes
didn't get there then" Years ago if
one had asked Bill how far it was to
Lowelltown plantation he would have
received this answer: IT'S thunderin'
ways and a good deal furder.''
Now it is only few minutes ride
over the rails of the Canadian Pacific.
The changing of the mails depends
upon conditions. In any case the feat
is interesting to observe. From Thonp-
sons in Canada stage is driven by r.
Farley. Whether ?. stands for Patrick,
Peter or Philip is not known generally,
as the owner simply insists thtt his
name is p. Farley" When 'Pob'
Hewey arrives at the line which is
marked on the border road by great
! granite monuments suitably inscribed,
he turns his team about in the middle
of the road. Then r. Farley Shows up
IF he has not already arrived--and
| backs his team to within a few feet OF
''Bob's' outfit. The other inquiries
