Duluth, Mimi, May 2-Ths number Of
new iron mines that will be opened on the

5O0,OO0 tons to this years business Of the
road. Later in the season two more will
ship over that road and the rest will be
served by the two roads of the steel cor

There were .twenty-four vessels loaded
with ore at the docks of the Duluth & Iron
Range road last week, carrying in all about
100000 gross tons. This would be good
record for a midsummer week few years
ago. "a. 800
Ore shippers all around the lakes are
bothered, somewhat by the solidly frozen
stock piles, which are very slow loading
by shovels. These st ock piles do not GEN

ore Is often blasted. just as though 1t was

Joseph Sellwood, one of the best posted
and most widely known mining men of the

FIVE DOLLARS A SHARE
Calumet 6 Hccla Dividend Was q
Disappointment.

Calumet s Hccla Dividend Was a
Disappointment.
Special to The Journal
Calumet, Mich, May 2.-The Calumet
& Hecla Mining company has declared a
dividend of SIS share, the smallest in
several years. The present disbursement
of s5OO,U0O compares with the previous
disbursement of 81 900, and brings the
total dividends paid by the company up
to. $78,850, 000.> Several thousand shares
Of Calumet & Hecla are held in the Lake
Superior copper district and the reduced
dividend comes as a hard blow to some
holders, who are retired and derive the
most of their income from the big mine.
Advices from Boston are to the effect
that the Mass Consolidated has sold
1000, 900 pounds of copper at an average
price of 412A cents a pound.
"A. c. Burrage, of Boston, president of
the Arcadian Copper company and one of
the leading copper mining men Of the
week and inspected the Trimountain mine
Of which hess is the largest individual
shareholder. He is closely connected
with the Standard Oil interests and his
visit to the Champion mine while in the
district is considered important.
The output of the Atlantic mine this
year promises to be the largest ever made
by the mine. Last month a large mass
of copper was encountered in the lower
workings, an unusual thing. The per-
centage of copper in the rock is also
improving, and will exceed twelve pounds
a ton this year.
Good progress is being made on the Mo-
hawk stamp mill at Traverse bay and it
will be ready to commence stamping rock
some time in August.

Venice, May 1.-THE pardon granted by King
Victor Emmanuel to the officers of the United
States cruiser Chicago, who have been i'm

In an interview with representative of the
Associated Press the imprisoned officers
warmly repudiated the reports from Rome
that they were under the influence of wine
at the time of the trouble and said that, on
the contrary, they were absolutely sober.
Lieutenant John S. Doddrldges remarked: ::

The sitting opened with turbulent
debate. Premier Balfour moved that
the remainder of the session be en-
tirely devoted to government business,
which, he explained, would consist
mainly of the discussion of the edu-
cation and London water bills, while
the Indian budget, the Uganda railroad,
sugar bounties and the supply vote

would also require attention. q q

William O'Brien thereupon made an
impassioned speech, warning the house
that ireland was on the verge of re-
volt. The constitution, he said, was
practically suspended and now the

lament they had.
