when did clergymen cease to fight
duels?" Is the most startling inquiry
in to-day's Notes and Queries. 1t will
be news to many OF us that they were
ever fond Of that exhilarating pastime.
But, as matter of fact, the Rev. Mr..
Allan fought duel with Lloyd Delany.
Esq, and killed him in Hyde Park In
1852. He was convicted of man

Automobile Sea Scouts.

As military motor bicycles have al.
ready proved themselves to be of value
in scouting it is probable that in near.
ly every civilized country they will be
largely used in future land warfare.
Why. il the fast land scout prove so
useful, should not the navy adopt the
same methods? A boat, sixty feet
long, with two twenty-five horse power
engines, built very light, to carry, say.
four persons, and to be capable of con-
siderable speeI, would be most use
full addition To battleship or a fleet.
The ordinary torpedo boat is too long
and draws too much water for scout
ing near shore or in shallow water.
but launch might be made to draw
less than three feet of water and yet
have speed OF upward of thirty
knots. There would be no funnelssor
smoke to attract the notice OF the en-
envy, and with underwear exhaust the
boat might be made almost silent. IL
built low In the water, or with the
power OF seini-submersion, ii would be
difiicult for the enemy to observe. and
still more difficult TO hit Probably
such craft would be more useful than
anything ret invented In the way Of
scout for sea purposes London

GOOD ORE
Being Hauled to the Homestake With
Teams

Being Hauled to the Homestake With
Teams.
The Homestake Mining company Is
having ore hauled with teams from the
old Deadwood-Terra open cut on Bob
tail gulch to the big cyanide mill at
Blacktail, where it is crushed by the
fve-stamp battery and treated with
cyanide. This is the ore that was
left years ago when the company was
mining only free milling rock. 1t is
said to contain from S. to Sc a ton,
and there is a quantity sufficient to
keep the five stamps at the cyanide
mill running for years. 1t is Of ST.
@icious nature and cannot be treated
satisfactorily in the large stamp mills.
The cyanide plant was built for the
treatment of taiIings from the three
stamp mills on the north side, and the
FIVE stamps were put in for the pur.
pose of providing means of handling
the refractory ore known to exist in
that part of the company's domain.
The Lucky Strike Mining company
has recently sawed the lumber and
timbers necessary for the proposed
buildings and for the tirberiDg of the
mine, and has resumed work in the
main shaft, which is to be continued to
a depth of 400 feet on the principal ore
vein Of the property. For several
months work has been in progress in a
tunnel, following a strong vein Of ore.
The shaft is being put down on this
vein at it's intersection with a cross

Resume Of tins Wesk's
Proceeding.

Washington, March IL. - Decided
progress was made yesterday toward
reaching an agreement for vcte on
the canal treaty and when the senate
adjourned there was general under
standing that to-day in all probability
some hour next Tuesday would be
definitely agreed on as the time when
vote should be taken on the treaty
and amendments. All statements to
this effect however. were accompa-
MED by the announcement that there
were yet some details to be arranged,
leaving it impossible absolutely to
conclude the agreement before to-
day. There is. however. no doubt in
the minds of leading senators that the
vote will be taken on Tuesday. The
arrangement was brought about large
ly by Senator Frye, who, by virture
Of long service with Senator Morgan
on the committee on foreign relations,
has come to be on terms Of great in
timacy with the Alabama senator. No
other senator thus far has shown any
Disposition to Delay
the final disposition OF the treaty, so
that all that was necessary was to Sc
cure Mr.. Morgan's assent to the TAX
ing of a vote. The negotiations were
begun early in the day, and after Sem
ators Frye and Morgan had been clos
eted for some time the latter sought
Senator German and talked over the
situation with him with the result
indicated.
Senator Morgan exacted consent to
the printing in the Congressional
Record of the remarks he has pre-
pared giving his best recollection Of
the speeches he has made in the ex-
ecutive sessions of the senate on the
treaty. The indications are that the
treaty will be ratified without modifi-
cation in any particular.
The agreement made yesterday has
no reference to the Cuban treaty, but
opens the way for it's early considera-
ton in the senate.
There is considerable opposition to
this treaty. and it Is doubtful If it will
be ratified.

Washington, March 13-There were
important developments yesterday re-
garding the treaties pending in the
senate. 1t was decided to vote on the
Panama canal treaty on Tuesday
next and the Cuban reciprocity treaty
was reported to the senate by the
committee on foreign relations. The
end of the work for which. the extra
session was called is, therefore, in
sight. The agreement to vote on the
canal treaty was arrived at soon after
the senate assembled at noon and
without discussion of moment. The
terms had been made satisfactory to
Senator Morgan before the request to
tx a day for the vote as was preferred
by Senator Frye, so the former made
no objection.
The Cuban treaty with the various
amendments agreed on by the foreign
relations committee was then
Reported by Mr.. CuIIom,
and at his request it was read for the
information of the senate. The read
ing was followed by a formal request
by Mr.. Cullom to take up the Cuban
treaty for discussion, but while this
was denied, still the greater part of
the session was devoted TO it. The
amendments made include in addition
to those of last session, a provision
requiring the approval of the house of
representatives to make the treaty eff.
fective. With the adoption OF this
amendment the Democrats as body
probably will cease opposition to the
Cuban treaty, but some OF them, the
sugar interests of whose states are
affected by the treaty will
Continue to Oppose IL.
The Republican side will vote prac-
tically, If not absolutely, solidly for
the treaty, and it Is now generally be-
lieved that it will be ratified after ac-
ton on the Panama treaty. lndivid-
ual Democratic senator's will offer a
number Of amendments to the canal
treaty, and they will unite in pressing
some of them, but if they should be
voted down, as they doubtless will,
the Democrats will vote for ratifica-
ton of the treaty.
The progress made yesterday leads
many senators to predict an adjourn
ment by the close of next week. The
action of the committee on commerce
In postponing a vote on DIR. Crum's
nomination is generally taken as the
postponement of that matter for this
session.

The Home Copper Company.

John Moulder. superintendent OF the
/ Home Copper company, was in town
one day last week and visited the
[ Standard office. He was more euthus-
! las ic than ever about the conditions
OF the various mining properties west
OF the camp. The recent discovery of
rich gold bearing lodges and indi-
cations OF large bodies OF copper has
created quite an excitement among
mining men ana prospect0rs who are
interested in that part OF the Morenci
district. One OF the big companies
operating in this part OF the country
is after the property of the Home
company, and If the deal Is made
active work will begin at once. \
large force Of men will be put on and
shaft sent down after the copper ore.
There is absolutely no doubt bu;
that the Home mines are "a rich a.
any ia the district "a all indications
point that way. Recent development
proves what Professor Lindgreen OF
the L. s. geological survey said. He
claimed that the copper deposits on
this property were at a considerable
depth, and as the same formation ex-
listed as in the Copper mountain coun-
try a continuation OF that ore body
would be found If shaft OF proper
depth was sunk
In regard to the gold properties Mr..

nous amount OF low grade ore all

and the Eagle river has an inexhaust-
able supply OF water. At some time
these millions worth of gold ore will
be mined and millel. but at the pres
ent time the copper ore is attracting
the most attention, and if the sale be-
fore mentioned goes through it will
not be long before there will be a big
mine west Of Morenci in full opera
ton. There is also a movement on
foot among the local stockholders to
increase the working funds of the COM
pany and to get to saving wood at
once and go after copper. At all
events the Home properties are to be
brought to the front at once, either
by another company if the present
company sells the controlling interest,
or by the company ITSELF: and the
quicker this happens the better for
the MOrenci-Cliftou district.-Stan-
dard.
