the largest deal in which Spokane

r. X. Neill. manager of the mine,
said, II don't want to talk about It.
When the consolidation is put through
there will be plenty Of time to discuss
the matter"
Are the Finch & Campbell interests
promoting the consolidation, or have
they named a price at which they will
go into the deal?"
Il won't talk about that" said Mr..

taking out the ore and extracting the
bullion is about one dollar a ton. That,
of course, does not include the develop
ment. We are handling 1900 tons a
month through our 250-ton mill, and
are making profits of 100000 a month.
The ore runs about 81 a ton, which
gives about Sc net, and there is ESQ.,
900 tons in sight. The oreshoot has
been tested to a depth of $50 feet and
is 100 feet wide by 700 feet long. We
have so men at work. 1t is expected
that the mill will be doubled in size
this summer when the profits should
be correspondingly increased.
THE Barnes-King group lies near
the Kendall. The Wright properties
include a group of claims between the
Kendall and the Barnes-King. They
are owned by a Lewistown, (Mont.)
banker. Together they give about
two and one-half miles on the VEIN"
The Kendall company is incorporat-
ed for s2,5OO,OOO in s. shares. 1t has
been paying dividends of $4,000 a
month, as there is some Indebtedness
which is being cleaned up out Of the
monthly profits of 100000.
A. S. Wright is credited with being
behind the present consolidation. He
recently put the Gilt Edge deal
through, whereby John A. Drake, a
Chicago man, who is associated with
the Gates interests, bought the prop
erty at a price supposed to be 100000.

BLOODY KRAUSE TRAGEDY.
Verdict of the Coroner.s Jury In the
Cnse that Has Shocked 81.
Louis County, No.

ST. Louis, March 14.-The coroner's
inquest into the terrible tragedy that
resulted in the determination of the
krause family, of eight persons, re-
suited in a verdict that all came to
their deaths at the hands of August
krause, whose suicide was legally re-
scorded.
Coroner Koch took possession of
the razor and hammer used in COM
mitting the bloody deed and carried
them 10 his Office at Des Peres.
An examination of the bodies indi-
Gated that Mrs, Krause made strug-
gle for her life. Upon her head were
found six gashes, while sthe fingers
on the right hand were gashed and
the fingers of both hands broken and
bruised. The head of Carrie. the old
est girl, aged 12, was crushed on the
left side, supplemented by cash six
inches long. Her head was almost
severed from her body. Emma, aged
nine was struck on the left side Of
the forehead, and her throat was cut.
The top of Georges head, who was
four years old, was mashed and his
throat cut slantwise. Fred's head
was terribly bruised and the skull
crushed on the forehead. Phillip,
sged seven, was badly mutilated
about the head and his throat cut.
The throats of Fred, the five
months-old babe, and Genevieye, aged
three, were not cut. They were his
fayorite children, being the youngest.
A peculiar fact about the cutting
of the throats of his children WAS
that the cut in each instance was on
the left side of the neck and about
six inches long. This caused the be-
lief that Krause cut their throats
with deliberation, after having
Drained them with the rock hammer.
Usually Krause was loving father
and devoted husband and this deyo-
tion was noticed and commented up
on by many of the residents of that
section.
In his dealings with strangers, the
murderer and suicide was sometimes
quarrelsome. He had engaged in fist
fights with great number of his ac-
quaintances, possessing a fiery and
uncomfortable temper.
But it was not believed by any one
that this temper, so unruly among
strangers, was exhibited in his own
home,

peat the sounds and the sounds of
their own voices uttcring the words
"Mamma." Papa" and "Hello" in
quayering childish treble. The ex-
periments were made at the iahara-
tory of Mr. Hntchison aud were Wit

The invention consists, primarily. of
transmitter. an car-pieee and
small electric battery. by means of
these instruments sound is projected
into the ear in manner to simulate
the auditory nerve. The volume OF
sound has nothing to do with the ae-
tion of these instruments. The pene-
trating quality Of The electric sound

chaniam of the outer car aud affects

"lIe says he can hear something, but

Prof. Van Tassel, who was In charge
Of the children. The current wns

were rnised and he smiled. Then he
tried to repeat the syllablcs, and in

was becoming quite excited over his

The Case between Bishop and Priest
Is of Long Standing.


Lincoln, Neb., March 1.-THE con-
test between Bishop Bonacum and
FIR. Murphy is of long standing and
grew out of an attempt on the part
Of the bishop TO force Rev. Murphy,
pastor of 81. Andrews congregation
at Tecumseh, TO compel his parish
toner's 10 contribute "A large sum of
money for the erection of a palace
for the bishop at Lincoln. Cardinal
Satolli enjoined the bishop from
erecting so costly palace, but the
Injunction was spurned. Rev. MUIR
ply took up several collections in his
church and appointed committees 10
eoltecf funds outside. The amounts
contributed did not satisfy Bishop
Bonaeum, however, and he issued
decree against Rev. Murphy Of expni-
sion from the diocese. Murphy APP
peaied to the apostolic delegate at
Washington, who ordered the bishop
Ia rescind the decree. The bishop
thereupon filed charges against Rev.
Murphy and summoned him to Lin
coin 10 make answer. Rev. Murphy
filed challenge for prejudice and an
appeal. These the bishop ignored
and he issued decree OF suspension
and accommodation against Rev.
Murphy.
The bishop then began proceedings
to oust Rev. Murphy from the use of
the church and it's properties. Six
different civil suits have taken place
already, in all of which the bishop has
lost, and the case has twice been taxi
