NEWS FROM THE MINES.
Work Being Done by the Ohio
Tonopah Company.

The Ohio-Tnnopah company, under
the supervision aud management of
). A Knapp, is just completing
the erection oi the most powerful
hoisting plant in the district. 1t
consists of 50-h p, boiler with con
denSer, two SKIP engines, connected;
double reels, with post brakes, all
well housed in a substantial building
26 40. A heavy gallows frame, 20
feet in height and bearing 5-foot
sheaves is in position over the shaft.
The latter has two compartments,
each Aka feet. which is now down 250
feet. A 2! h p. gasoline engine is
used to operate the exhaust fan.
Water is piped under pressure into
the engine room from II tank on the
hill A light railway connects with
the wood yard, which with black
smith shop and carpenter shop make
a compact and cheaply operated
plant. 1t is expected that the hoist
will be operated quite as economi-
cally as any gasoline plant of equal
capacity, and having IA full equip
ment of sinking and safety cages, is
much more certain a'd safe in its
operation Its capacity is equal tc

A Letter Throws Some Light on Gen Smiths
Order Anent FIlipinos

Washington, April 26.-Adjutant
General Corbin has received letter

phia, in regard to the reported orders
of General Smith to destroy all Fill
pinos found in arms 10 years of age

son, First Lieutenant Paul McCook, is
an officer, says Mr.. McCo0k, visited
me this week His company was sta
toned in Tayabas province, and he
said he had never seen the water cure
practiced, or any other methods of tor
ture. | asked him what was the physi-
cal standing of youth of 10 years in
the Philippines. He answered that a
lO-year-old lad would about rate with
a l5-year-old boy here. He further
iniomed me that boys Of that age and
up to l2 could bear arms, greatly to the
disadvantage of their opponents; that
he had seen youths of that age and two
or three years older among the insur-
rectos and ladrones captured, and he
further said that sometimes there
would be considerable proportion of
such boys in the hostile ranks, as rep
resented by those who surrendered and

TO THE PRESIDENT
CHINESE EXCLUSION BILL HAS
PASSED LIGHTHOUSES.
It Is the Gsary Law Re.snactsd with Slight
Notifications Operation Of the Law
in the Philippines, Including Registration
Of, Chinese Now There, Is Placed in the
Hands Of the Philippine Commission.

Washington, April S0.-The con
ferees. on the Chinese exclusion bill
have reached complete agreement on
the bill. Their report was submitted
to the senate and house in the after
noon, and in each instance adopted
without debate. The bill now goes to
the president for his approval, which
is assured by the firm stand he has
taken for the measure.
The bill strikes out that portion Of
the senate bill limiting the extension
of all existing laws to the life of the
present treaty, and re-enacts them SO far
as is not inconsistent with the treaty
obligations until otherwise provided by
law, and extends the laws to our island
territory so far as applicable. 1t al
lows Chinese to enter for exposition
purposes and retains the provision re-
garding certification in the Philippines.
Senator Platt, of Connecticut, a
member of the conference committee,
by way of explanation in the senate
stated that no definite limitation should
be placed upon the operation of the
Geary law, as re-enacted. but that it
should remain in force until otherwise
provided by law. He explained that
the operation of the law in the Philip
pines, including a registration of the
Chinese in the islands, had been placed
in the hands of the Philippine commits
sion, but the commission would have
no authority to admit Chinese to the
islands.

TRADE REVIEW.
American Good, in Great Demand In South
American Countries.

Washington, April 29.-American
coal finds a steady and ever increasing
market in Brazil, but our export trade
to Brazil, it is said, will never reach
its proper development so long as our
merchandise has to seek foreign bot
toms. 1t is pointed out that If a line
Of modern steamers were operated be-
tween New York and Brazil, there
would be no lack OF return freights in
coffee, rubber and like products
American hardware, also, it is stated,
has earned reputation for quality and
finish which places it beyond COMPETE
tion.
1t is notable fact that many young
Brazilians are coming to this country to
complete their careers ol learning,
whereas, until recent years, the better
class from that country were sent to
Portugal, France or Germany to acquire
their literary, professional or scientific
training. Now also English is being
taught in some of the higher schools of
Brazil.
In the Argentine Republic the Amer
lean goods making the greatest headway
are tools, implements, cotton goods,
shoes and specialties. A banker Of Ro-
sario recently reported that for the half
year ended June. 80, 1901, the increase
of transactions between his, house and
the United States had been 13l per
cent, and he understood that other
banks had had similar experiences.
But whileswe are materially increasing
the aggregate of our trade with Argen-
tina, here, also, the absence Of direct
steamship communication is handi-
cap.
In Chile, where numbering is the
chief industry in it's southern pro-
vinces, practically all of the wood is cut
by mills Of American construction. All
of-the machinery used in the produc-
tion of -four also comes from the
United States.
On account of the political disturb
ances in Colombia, imports from the
United States have increased only
slightly. Tie imports from all other
Countries have remained stationary.
United States trade with Ecuador
shows gratifying increase, due to pur-
chases for the Guayaquil-Quito railroad,
better and quicker transportation, low
er freight rates and the coming of
American commercial travellers.

THE STRIKE ENDS.
San Francisco Street Car Men Have Demands
Granted.

0iuHNNus
San Francisco, April 29.-The strike
on the street railway system of the
United Railroads, which went into
effect week ago, is officially declared
off. Victory rests with the employees,
who are conceded all their principal
demands. The United Railroads have
granted an advance in wages, a 10 hour
day and in measure recognized the
carmen's union.
On the question Of unionism the
agreement provides that the company
will maintain such regulations as will
enable full attention to all complaints
made directly by its employees; will
cause prompt investigation to be made
OF such complaints, and when il discov-
els the same TO be we'll founded will
rectify any wrongs found to exist. 1t
will not, however, deal in matters in
volving the management of its own
affairs with other than its own en-
ployes or committees thereof. The
company recognizes the right of every
person to belong or to refuse to belong
to a labor union, and it will discharge
no employe because Of his connection
with such union.
The company agrees to pay fat rate
of 25 cents an hour, or 231a cents an
hour, together with bonus for long
service as the employe may elect. A
rate Of 80 cents per hour will be paid
for overtime. All runs are to be fin.
ished within IA hours from the time of
commencement. The employees are to
be allowed full liberty when off duty.

Spotted Fever Kills Eight.

Missoula, Mont, April 29.-The
spotted fever scourge in the Bitter Root
valley has broken out with greater vio-
lence than at any time known within
the history of the peculiar disease.
Eight persons have already died of the
strange malady within a week, and the
deaths of several more are expected.
Today a number of cases were reported
TO the authorities. The disease is un-
known elsewhere, and thus far has
baffled the physicians. Nearly every
victim that contracts the fever dies.
The disease commences with a fever
like typhoid, and spots begin to show
all over the body. The spots increase
in size and at death the victim is
spotted like a rattlesnake.
