disturbance Already on the long trip
he is now in the, midst of, he has all but
gone headfrst into difficulties on sew
eraI occasions between labor and capt.
tai. For instance, he was requested to
institute a boycott against the Union
Pacific railroad and lodged en- the
ground that his itinerary had been
mapped out far in advance and that it
would be unfair to disappoint people
who were making preparations to re-
ceive him.
In his speech at Omaha some days
ago. while en- route to st. Louis, the
president discussed the labor question.
During his remarks he dealt mostly in
glittering generalities. winding up with
the equally vague suggestion that Ia
Dor and capital ought TO do justice to
each other. This speech was followed
almost Immediately by a teamsters
strike which has put the people Of
Omaha 10 considerable trouble and in

At Kansas City the president had an

ANOTHER PosToFFIcE row.

4 MOTHER PRETTY postofiee dis
\ turbance has been started by the
hazing OF the negro rural delivery car
rier. John c. AIIgood, by a misguided
mob Of Tennesseans. The story Of the
affair does not indicate that any ac-
tua1 violence. was done to Allgood- He
was merely stopped by a company of
armed and masked men and politely in
formed that if he did not resign at
once he would be killed. The mob also
announced its intention OF killing the
colOred sub-carrier if he failed to re-
sign.
As a result rural mail delivery on that
route has been discontinued, pending
an investigation. The residents of
Tennessee in the immediate vicinity Of
this outrage viii gain considerable IN
pleasant notoriety and be put to an
endless amount of inconvenience be
cause of it. It is not a particularly
creditable thing for those Tennesseans
TO have it published to the world that
the brightest people among them are
negroes.
Yet this is the inference that must be
drawn from az impartial reading Of the
reports. A civil service examination,
participated in by both whites and ne
groes. was held for the position of rural
mail carrier on route No. out of Gal
latin. Tenn, the route on which the
trouble occurred. When the papers
were examined it was found that the
three men who stood highest were all
negroes. Under the civil service laws
the highest one of the three had to re-
ceive the appointment while the others
We're made sub-carriers
The first negro to hold the position
resigned and it was his successor who
was threatened The mob viii be COM
PEELED to do away with him and an
other negro before a white carrier win
be eligible. BY all rules of fairness the
whites in that neighborhood have no
earthly right to make any protest,
either by show of armed force or 9th
erwise. The appointments of the OBJ
jecu0nable parties did not come from
Washington. They came as rewards of
merit.
The whites had the same opportunity,
regardless Of politics, TO win the place
that the negroes had. It would be alb
surd to say that the negroes were IA
vored by the examiners for in the south
the white Republicans hate the negroes
as much as the Democrats, and the av-
erage white Republican would far
rather see a white Democrat in office
than a negro Republican. If any IA
voritism was shown. therefore. it was
not on the side Of the negroes.
Postmaster General Payne acted
properly when he ordered the service
suspended. but he viii not do his full
duty unless he runs down the members
of the mob and sees that they are pun
ished under the federal statute which
was designed to protect mail carriers
in their work

PASSING OF COLONEL DEWEY.

T HE PASSING OF Colonel ". II.
l. Dewey at his home in Nampa, Ida,
removes one of the most picturesque
figures from the western stage. Not in
Idaho alone was Colonel Dewey cele-
brated. He was known and liked in
more than half the states Of the union,
but to Idaho he gave all that was best
in him. If we were to say which of the
traits IN Colonel Dewey's character was
the most prominent. we would say II
was his pride IN his state and in his
home town
This pride amounted TO a passion
with him. He would talk by the hour
OF the beauties Of Idaho, Of the charm
OF Namps- Of the possibilities of the
states mines. its farms. its orchards.
And Colonel Dewey did more than
make conversation He was a builder
as well as a planner. Becoming in
censed at his treatment in Boise on
one occasion, he declared that he would
make the junction point Of Nampa the
biggest town IN Idaho.
As q beginning he built a great hotel,
one Of the finest in the entire west, at
a cost of something like $3.50, 600. It
was opened only a short time ago
When it is understood that, according
to the census of 1900 Nampa has pop
ulation Of less than 500, the magnitude
of Colonel Dewey's undertaking will be
appreciated. OF course, he did not ex-
pect the hotel to pay and it viii not
pay, but it viii make Nampa talked
about and many traveller who might
otherwise stop in Boise viii go 20
tel.
Colonel Dewey was also a railroad
builder. He constructed two short
lines. both having terminals in Nampa,
with a view to building up that town.
Now all this was done by Colonel
Dewey during the last ten years of his
life. or between the ages of 20 and so
years. Had he been able to start when
in his prime there is no knowing what
he would have accomplished.
The coming Of Colonel Dewey to the
west was occasfoned by one Of those
strange chances that oftentimes, though
small in themselves. have a lasting ef-
feet on the lives Of men. In his young
manhood he was captain of a steamer
on the Great Lakes. There was some
trouble between him and another Of
hcer and when, one day, Colonel Dewey
failed to arrive at the dock at the mo-
ment the boat was scheduled to sail,
the junior officer put out without him.
On that trip the boat was lost with ali
on board and his escape from the dis
aster was such narrow one that Colo
mel Dewey gave up the lake and came
west with nothing but the clothes he
wore His subsequent career is wei
known. Colonel Dewey made many
enemies. but he also made many warm
friends. His worst enemy could not
say he wasn't a generous man, good
friend, and. according to his lights, a
pOod citizen,

The development Of the Milkmald

The present owners Of the Mikmaid
undertook its development about three
years ago At that time q shaft had
been sunk, but the parties who had
worked the ground were unable to cope
with the water and the property was
abandoned. The shaft OF course, was
filed to considerable depth with
water. To install pumps was an entire
~ too expensive undertaking so the
idea of running tunnel TO unwater the
shaft was conceived, and subsequently
carried out This bore mad the desired
effect, the shaft Was, In due time, COM
pletely drained. The tunnel Us now 600
long. the shaft 300 feet deep, and II is
the plan to make a connection between
the two. which viii insure q perfect

PRODUCTION OF COPPER.
Expressions Brought Through Me-
dunn of a Boston Market Letter.

A Boston authority In commenting
on the copper market says
Producing interests in this country
are not AT all disturbed by the position
taken by these foreign consumers, They
point out the fact that the English
men have been wrong on the copper
market all the time for four years past,
and declare that they are wrong again
now. Within another month they expect
20 see heavy buying in this market for
Foreign account at prices al least half a
cent higher than those now ruling, They
declare that there are no surplus stocks
OF the metal IN this country. that We
have really exported and consumed
more copper 10 far this year than We
have produced. notwithstanding the
falling on in exports, and that with
consumers bare Of stocks and their flu
ture wants In NO way provided for
there Is no possibility of further decline
in prices
During the past IS months fully 20O.-
100000 pounds more copper has been
consumed than has been produced,
Within that time the worlds output has
aggregated about $500 600, 900 pounds.
and production has therefore amounted
20 only 20 per cent OF the consumption.
AT the present time production is show
ing no appreciate increase over that OF
q year ago Labor troubles have cut
the California output for the year In
halves The United Verde VIII not pro-
duce half liz usual amount Of metal
this year Scarcity OF labor is seriously
limiting production In other Arizona
mining centcrs and also in Utah. At
Lake Superior Tamarack Isle ROyaie
and Quincy are al putting out less
copper than year ago az a whole
however. the Lake Is showing a fair
increase over last years production.
The Butte mines began the year with
a fair increase In production all
around. but the shut down Of the
Nashoe smelter at Anaconda. which
was turning out 1880 900 pounds Of
copper monthly. and the burning Of
Heinze's concentration have checked the
Increase very decidedly. II "a now
doubtful II 8 per cent more copper IL
produced IN Montana this year than
last II would therefore appear that
consumption would stand a decrease OF
nearly 10 per cent and still absorb ey-
cry pound Of current production.
so far as can be learned there has
bene practically no falling on In con-
sumption ~ copper 20 date. and unless
public confidence gets another shock
from a further decline In the general
security markets, the price Of copper
VIII shortly be- higher"

RuMBLINGs or A MERGER.
Plan 20 Consolidate Tonopah Mines
Has Not Been Given Up,

Supt Fred j, Davis OF the New York
Tonopah mine, of Tonopah. Is In the
city on a brief business, and while he
would not admit as much IL Is believed
that his mission here at this time has
something to DO with n consolidation
scheme In which the New York Is TO be
included.
The movement has ben on foot for
some little time. Recently the stock
holders Of the Salt Lake. TOnOpah COM
pany were called together to consider
the matter of going into the proposed
merger, but not being satisfied with the
terms named by the parties interested
In the other properties, the proposition
received a cold reception,
Mr., Davis believes that the Fraction,
Tonopah city and Gold Mountain COM
panies will surely go into the combina-
tlon, and IL also quite satisfied that
proper influences may yet be brought
TO bear on the Salt Lake company,
The union Of the mines mentioned
would make one Of the largest as well
as one OF the most valuable In the
Cnmp.
