BOOM FOR SILVER CITY.
The Smelter, Which Has Been
Closed a Year, Will Re-
open in April.

Silver City is at the beginning of a
purchased by the Comanche Mining
and Milling Company, an organization
of Minneapolis capitalists who own
copper properties in the Burro noun
tains. The smelter has been closed for
over year and when it shut down,
about 900 men We're employed. The new
owners have let the contracts for fuel
for it and have made all preparations
to open it in April. The first payment
has been made on the purchase and the
remaining payments are arranged for.
The sale Of the smelter and arrange
ments for reopening it have caused
revival through that district. The
Hearst interests at Pinos Altos have
been closed since the smelter was
closed. Now all gold properties of that
interest have been leased to c. p. Der
byshire who is subleasing them. The
opening of the smelter makes this pos
sible. There is renewed interest in
mining and Silver City anticipates
quite a boom.
District court at Silver City has clos
ed and large amount of business was
disposed of. H. B. Holt. Esq, acted as
special district attorney in the absence
of Major Llewellyn who was in the
legislature.
Silver City is preparing for revival
of the cattle sales this year. The WIN
ter has been such that a big sale is ex-
pected this year.

Washington, d. c., March 21.-The
report of the commission appointed by
| the President last October to inyesti-
| gate the anthracite coal strike, was
| made public today. The repo-t Is dat
ed March Is, and is signed by all men,
bers of the commission. In brief the
commission awards a general increase
of wages amounting in most instances,
to 10 per cent; some decrease in time;
settlement of all disputes by arbitra-
ing scale; provides against discrimina-
ton of persons by either mine owners
or miners on account of membership or
on-membership in labor union; and
provides the awards shall continue In
force until March 81, 1906. The COM
mission discussed to some extent the
matter of recognition or non-recogni-
ton of the miners union but declined
to make any award on this measure.
The increase in wages in most cases
date from November /, 1902, and are to
be paid before June /, 1903. When
questions are too important to be SET
ked by consultation by the supernten-
dent or manager of mine and the
miner or miners directly interested, it
shall be referred to permanent joint
committee to be called board of con-
ciliation to consist of six persons, three
to be appointed by the majority of men
employed in the district and three by
the operators. If the board cannot
agree on any point, that question shall
be referred to an umpire to be appoin-
ted at the request of the board by one
of the circuit judges Of the Sd judicial
circuit of the United States, whose de-
cision shall be final. Whenever re-
quested by majority of contract min
ers of any colliery, check weighman
or check docking boss or both shall be
employed. The wages of said check

FULLY TWO MONTHS.
Will Be Required to Consider Testimony In the
Northern Securities Case.

OF the hearing Of the Northern Securi-
ties case this morning, it was decided

left with the Federal Court OF Appeals.
Because OF tho enormous mass of evi-
dence and the voluminous arguments
which the judges are called upon to
consider, It is doubtful # decision will
be possible within two months, and the
probabilities are the time will he longer
than that.

LIFE EXTENDED FIFTY YEARS
Corporate Mistake of Twenty Years
Ago Corrected by "A Hard
Struggle.

The Omaha Loan and Building a~ssocia-
ton has filed in the county clerks office
two amendments to its articles OF incor-
poration-one providing for the extension
Of the life Of the association to seventy
years., or fifty years from April next, and
the other a method by which future
amendments may be adopted.
These amendments have been approved
by the state banking department. and the
filing in the county clerks office is a mere
formality. Their adoption and approval in
volved the association in a vast amount
of labor and gave the managers consider
able anxiety.
When the association was organized in
April, 1888, the articles Of incorporation
limited it's life to twenty years and omit
ted the usual clause providing for amend
ments. AS the end Of the twenty years
approached the directors consulted the
state banking department and were advised
that a unanimous vote of the shareholders
would be necessary to effect the needed
change. The proposed amendments were
then submitted to the shareholders, and
at the end Of eight months the association
submitted to the banking board the APP
proving vote OF IS per cents Of the share
holders. The vote was deemed sufficient
by the board and the amendments were
approved.

The head is Of bisque, with real black hair,
dressed in true Japanese sty,e. The XII

to carry wherever she goes. It is of real

inches in length. It has handles Of genuine
