Luther Wagner, mining engineer
,of San Francisco, arrived in Spokane
and has been examining quicksilver
nroperty located in the Kamloops, and
according to the report of Mr.. Wag-

The owners of the quicksilver mine
have spent several thousand dollars
in development work and have con-
adorable nice looking ore in sight.
Late last fall the placer ciarm Wild
Duck, owned by Peterson Bros, locat-

which will develop mining and smelt-

month proceed to the island to erect
smelter ready for operation by Janu-

similar lines to the one Mr.. Johnson
built at Greenwood Tor the British Co.
lumbia Copper company, commencing
with a single furnace with daily
treatment capacity of between 400 and
500 tons. He will likely plan smaller
smelter, to be built at Standpoint,
Idaho, before starting for Alaska.

Thunder Mountain District.

"Much capital has become invested
in Thunder Mountain and this, to-
gether with the immense amount or
assessment work that will be carried
on, insures a most prosperous season
for that district" said c. ]. Murray,
who spent the winter i'll the camp and
recently arrived in Spokane from
there.
"The principal work has been done
on the Dewey, the Fairview and the
Sunnyside. On the Dewey lower
tunnel has been driven $50 feet. The
ledge is 76 feet wide and the ore that
has been milled averages $40.
1.-The Belle of Thunder Mountain
company has been working both the
Sunnyside and the Burr Oak claims
all winter. There is the same vein
on these properties and the AZ feet of
ore that has been exposed will mill
s97. Three feet of the ledge assays
s215. The plates and cyanide plan
will save all of the values.
1.-THE Fairview has done about as
much development work as either of
the other mines.

KNOBS FOURTH VICTORY.

When Presiden. Roosevelt decided
to continue the Mckinley cabinet In
office he was severely criticised. II
was pointed out that he only real
statesman in the cabinet was Seere-
tary Root. and especially was the re-
tention OF Attorney General Knox
considered unfortunate.
Today this opinion must be re-
versed. for Mr.. KNOWS antitrust vic.
ories have placed him on an ami
nence OF his own. He has proven a
patriotic public servant and an emf
nent attorney general

Mr.. Knox and for the Sherman law

there are the more offices there will be

ROOSEVELT ON EXPANSION.

of national greatness and individual

have especially inspired by the i'm

He summed up the prospective impor.
lance OF the Pacific and the relations
of the United States to II in these
words:

MEXICO AND MONEY.

The railroads OF Mexico seem to be
IN a bad way financially on account
of silver and there il now a scramble
ON To avert the ruin that is staring
these concerns In the face. The an
nual report OF the Mexican Central
shows that almost constantly depre.
ciatlng currency has brought the Mex
lean railroads 10 the verge of grave
financial crisis.
Modern Mexico. In commenting upon
the situation, declares that the contin.
uance OF 3s-cent dollar would mean
speedy bankruptcy for the Mexican
railroads. In the annual report and
editorial referred TO. the idea Is held
out that the only hope is In govern
ment aid in establishing an arbitrary
rate OF exchange which will give the
railroads the benefit OF 5o-cent
stable dollar. There Is no conceal
ment Of the fact in financial and rail
road clrcit1 that the situation mas for
some time been considered grave.
The annual report says that through

LABOR AND CAPITAL.

Indications point toward a conflict
between capital and labor In the near
future, and a conflict the end OF which
no man can predict
The employers OF New York city
have organized and the first thing
done was to declare war on all labor
unions This declaration was followed
by similar actions in Boston and Chi.
cago and II Is expected that the EN-
ployers In all the big cities will come
in to fight the man who earns his
bread by the sweat of his brow.
According TO Geographic dispatches
billions OF capital will be pitted
against labor, for the purpose OF
crushing the spirit OF independence
which has always been recognized as
strictly American and to bring Ameri
can labor down to the level OF the
serf and fiunky OF Europe. The claims
of the unions have been declared ex
cessive and unreasonable. even to the
organization itself. The keynote Of
all deliberations. they say Will be
mo quarter given; no quarter asked.
The possibility OF arbitration viii no

of wages will not be considered To-
one moment. Combines that have beef
able TO pay 80 per cent. on the none!
invested can rot afford to meet labo
