ing in the shape of discrimination in
freight rates 81 compared with the sur

per cent more for a like service in freight
handling than do their neig ibors men

BLUE LAKE MINING AND POWER
COMPANY COMPLETES ITS
PERMANENT TUNNEL
COMPLETING A CROSSCUT
WHICH PROMISES WELL
Company to Start Mining Upon Its
Lodges and Ship to the SmeIter-
Said to Have Some of the Best Ore
Ever Shipped From the Salem River
District
Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
CONCONULLY, Wash, Aug. 1.-THE
Blue Lake Gold and Copper Mining,
Smelling and Power company has just
completed its permanent tunnel, after
penetrating some of the richest veins
of gold and copper ever found in this
country, and it is completing a cross
cut which will catch the mamrSeth
vein which outcropS several hundred
feet above, and which shows wonderful
richness. The company will then start
mining upon the lodges cut in the per-
manent tunnel and ship to the Smelter
at once, as there will be exposed thous-
andS of tons of the richest ore ever
shipped from the Salmon River district.
A group of claims known as the Sur
prise mine, on the north extension, is
about to be developed under the super
vision of Jake Neiderauer, the original
diScoVerer of mineral in the neighbour
hood. There is an enormous iron cap
ping hoOding the group, upon which
considerable preliminary prospecting
has been done. The intention is now
to start in a tunnel on the mountain
below this iron cap, and run in to
strike the ore body. The first con-
pected that work will continue steadily
until it is ascertained what the prop
erty contains.
Opposite these two mines, on Goat
Mountain, is the large group of claims
owned by the Blue Lake Gold and Cop
per Mining, Smelling and Power COM
pany Here are number of parallel
lodges, with an immense showing of
quartz and ore. All kinds of assays
have been had from this ore, and every
indication promises that at depth large
bodies of high grade mineral will be
encountered. Much prospecting has
been done in the way of open cuts,
shafts and tunneling, all contributing
toward exposing strong veins. The
chief tunnel is calculated to be within
only short distance of one
of the principal lodges. The expendi-
ture of very little money, says the
Palmer Mountain Prospector, ought to
put this property in shape to produce
abundant ore to keep a treatment plant
steadily at work, and we expect this
mine to contribute materially to the
reputation of this upper country as
bullion yielder.

SMALL ANT-LIKE CREATURE
WHOSE STING is DEATH
MuteIla 1t Is Called and 1t Kills Both
Men and Animals.

Concealed under the bark of trees,
curled up under leaves, and in the
grass of groves and woods is an ant
like insect, called the mutella, whose
bite scientists now declare may prove
fatal.
1t is not improbable that many
deaths laid at the door of serpents and
other poisonous creatures have been
caused by this innocent looking, I'M
| obtruslve little insect, that so much
resembles : common ant.
The virulence of it's bite was demon
Strated few days ago, when an, en-
ploye of the Philadelphia forestry de-
partment, in applying a band of cotton
TO the trunk of a tree infested with
the insects, was suddenly bitten on
the arm. The member began to swell
and two days later his arm was in
fr1ghtful condition, various antidotes
for poisining seemingly having no eff
feet. The most skillful physicians and
entomologists of Philadelphia were at
tracted to the case, and were in con-
slant attendance until the poison was
counteracted.
The victim of the sting said that it's
sensations were not painful, and that
it was not until about twenty-four
hours after that it's effects began to
be apparent. Then the swelling of the
arm became noticeable, with dull
arm. and there was a sudden rise in
temperature, accompanied bv sickness
at the stomach.
In appearance the insect resembles
an ant of the larger species, only that
1t is hairy and of a broWniSh color, in
sead of a highly polished black. In a
general way it resembles both the bee
and the ant, and like the mosquito, it
is the female that does the singing.
She is larger than the male and Is
W1ngleSS, while her mate has the use
of wings. The abdomen of the female
terminates in a long, narrow tube
called the oVipoSitor a continuance
with which she places her eggs in a
safe place, and which also answers
for singing purposes. When she sinks
this deep into the flesh of her victim
she accompanies it with an injection
of formic acid, which at once sets M a.
violent irritation. 1t is no more nor
less than the hypodermic Injection of
powerful poison, and the mutilla is the
only member of the ant family that
can produce it in quantities large
enough to cause Ceath in a human
being.
These deaths probably do not occur
often, but the depredations of the in
sect among animals has won for it the
name of cow-killer. In Texas it has
been known to appear in swarms Of
millions, and thousands of cattle have
succumbed to it's poison. The savage,
relentless character of the mutilla has
no equal among all other insects.
When possible it's eggs are depost
IN the larva of the cetonia, member
of the ant family, and when the young
mutilla is born it begins feeding upon
the other insect, which is gradually de-
voured alive.-Detroit News Tribune.

ANDREWS BANKING METHODS
Trial of the Alleged Bank Wrecker in
Detroit Nearly Over.

DETROIT. Mich, Aug. when
court adjourned the prosecution and
defense had finished asking questions
OF f; e. Andrews, the alleged bank
Wrecker. Mr.. Kirchner announced that
the defense had but two more witness-
es' and would then close it's side of
the case.
Inc principal point brought out by the
detense from Andrews today was that
ne showed by names and figures where
the $4,000 collaterals to the certified
checks which he took up on Feb. and
last went. According to the data
furnished by him, he did not get one
cent; $4,000 went into the City Saw
lngs bank and the balance WIS used
10 pay obligations at other banks. This
statement from the defense was the
most important of his whole testimony
1t refuted the claim that he used the
collaterals for his own benefit and kept
the proceeds away from his creditors

WOMEN PROMINENT
IN THE DEMONSTRATION
Gendarmes Are Fought at Every Turn
and in Some, Gases Fail in Their At
tempts to Shut Up SchooIs-Repeti-
ton of the Disorderly Scenes Ex-
pected.

BREST, France, Aug. 7.-Exciting
scenes occurred today at the expul-
sion of number of sisters from their
school at Landerneau, near here. A
special train conveyed attachments of
soldiers to Landerneau, where a body
OF gendarmes had been modified. A
large crowd surrounded the soldiers in
the square in front of the school, When
the commissary of police arrived, ac-
companied by locksmith, the people
protested vigorously, shouting: Long
live the sisters and liberty! Down
with the ministry"
Women threw themselves to the
ground in front of the horses of the
gendarmes. The commissary ordered
the sisters to open the school door
They refused and the locksmith picked
the lock and broke windows, amid the
denunciations of the crowd. The COM
missary ordered the sisters to leave
the school, which they did. Leaning on
the arms of the townswomen and ac-
companied by the priests and thou
sands of people, they marched to
church, where they sang a hymn. A
large crowd followed the gendarmes to
the railroad station, shouting death
to the locksmith!" The man was pro-
tected by the military.
Scene May Be Repeated.
Similar scenes are expected in other
villages of Finisterre, where the decree
against unauthorized schools is to be
put into execution. A priest at Fol-
gGet urged the women to kneel in front
IF the school in order to stop the
sendarmes.
The soldiers and gendarmes reached
Landerneau at 4 o'clock in the morn
ing, but watchers had given the alarm.
The whole population Of the town was
intensely excited and hurried to the
school, AT one time, when the crowd
broke the military Gordon, the commits

You can arrest me. My ancestors
died on the scaffold and I deem it an
honor to be arrested for this noble
cause!"
After the expulsion of the sisters, the
crowd again became so threatening
that the commissary ordered the troops
to charge, but the intervention of M.
Villiers induced the people to dispense
A few women were hurt in the disorder.
The commissary at Crozen tried to
expel the sisters from a school, but the
gendarmes were unable to force their
way through the crowd and the at
tempt was abandoned.
