The Victoria Mining company Is working
q large force OF men on its property on the
divide between Spearflsh and Squaw creeks
and the development has opened up one Of
the finest shoots OF silicious ore In the
district Prospecting has proved that the
shoot extends entirely through the com
pany's property and IL has been crosscut
for a distance OF 800 feet and its width re-
mains undetermined. This ore shoot is on
the upper contact. and where opened Is
from eight to twelve feet thick and carries
values ranging from $3.50 to sl9 ton. This
shoot is on the upper contact, but work is
being done TO reach the lower quartzite
contact and shaft is being sunk on the
south end OF the ground. Work I'm this
shaft has had TO be abandoned temporarily
on account OF the large amount OF water
coming into It. and which cannot be
handled with the appliances now on the
ground, but win be resumed as soon as
drier weather comes. The company, which
Is composed of Omaha people. owns thir-
teen patented claims In one group. and its
property is looked on as one OF the best
propositions in the district. Work on the
Cleopatra, which adjoins the Victoria on

BtOwr8 Famous Catcher Tells How He Got Even With Baseball
Reporters Who Always Knocked

the newspapers in the towns I've played
in. The baseball reporters are generally
a Woodworking, underpaid lot just like
bah players. They support the team that
represents their city, no matter how poor

player whole lot when he's backed up
10y a cheering word or two in the papers.
I'd never been used 20 such knocking.
and when I saw those things I felt hurt.
True, 1 hadn't performed very well in the
first game, for I was young a the bust
ness and pretty nervous. Besides. the
pitcher that I had wouldn't mind his
signals and kept me on the iump. and
my batting failure was caused by the
fact that the One-hOrse railroad to Bill
town hadn't forwarded my good old Lead
ended bat and my favorite mitt TO the
express office. Il had to use a light bat
against swift pitching that was like hit
ting creek-necked squash with a bean
pole
so that night when I unfoIded that
BHltown Banner and sat reading fl in
disgust, asked some Of the other play
ers why it was that the newspapers
roasted the ball Eine They said they
didn't know why they did 81. but they did
1t and always had done IT,.

young Fellow named Burke, who PLAYED

The Sultan Of Marantao, one Of the dis
tinguished citizens OF the United States
who have recently received some attentions
at the hands Of Major BuLLARp, Is gentle
man Of discretion, After years OF victorious
warfare with the Spaniards, he felt justified
In keeping It up with the Yankees, but before
going very far he thoughtfuly surveyed the
situation.
The result Of his observations was that
he has come into camp with the Yankees
and henoeforth will look upon us as men and
brothers. The Manila dispatches describe
his joining hands with the Americanos az
surrender That seems an inappro-
pirate term. When he clasped hands in
friendship with Major BuLLARp he said
"I have observed that the Americans are con
stantly victorious In battle that they govern their
people fairly. and that they give work al large
wages"
Wise sultan! He takes US into partner
ship! A soldier and statesman! May he
long be a prosperous American, governed
and governing fairly, and, in whatever
occupation he may end his days, in receipt
OF large wages

Russia's Word .

1t Is eight days this morning since
Secretary HAY, in the form and manner
OF polite diplomacy, thanked the Russian
Government for it's assurance Of honor
able intentions in Manchuria. The Sec
retAry's note served to put on record
Russias declaration that American pro-
test was unnecessary.
Was II?
One week later that much-professing
Power is reported as pouring thousands
Of troops into Newchwang and its neigh
borhood. and garrisoning the forts that
overlook the Liao-tung Gulf and the
waters Of approach to Pekin.
These reports signify preparation for
aggression; military movement menac-
ing the integrity Of China. They are
a swift and sardonic commentary on
the reassurins explanations 80 recently
conveyed through Count CAss1NI at
Warrington.
As against the designs of Russia, 80
steadily pursued and so cynically dis
avowed. the interests Of the United
States and Of Great Britain are like the
two halves Of a single unit.

HER WILL ron VAGUE,

The will Of Mrs. Sarah NJ Berlin, who
died in May year ago, leaving all her es-
tate to her executors. Jane B. Van SAINT.
julia d. Lawrence, and Louis Fangeres
Bishop. has been declared invalid by the
Appellate Division. Agnes G. Turnkey
sued the executors in the Supreme Court,
contending that the will was void. II was
drawn nine days before Mrs. Berlin's death.
and left all her estate to the execut orr
for the payment Of her debts The re-
mainder was then to be divided .amonr
her friends" in any manner which the
majority Of them considered to have been
her wish.
The will was probated, and Miss Tr,nkey's
suit. which was supported by Edwin L. and
David Wilmot Garvin, the other two Of the
three heirs at law and next of kin Of the de-
ceased, was dismissed by the Supreme Court.
The Appellate Division holds that the terms
Of the will were too indefinite and uncertain
to be enforced by the courts. 1t directs
that after Mrs. Berlin's debts have been
paid the residuary estate shall be divided
among the three heirs at law as II she had
died intestate.

JUDGE yDE ~ WARRINGTON.
Thinks II VIII Taks AAsther Year 70 Settle
Frtar question In the Philippines.

WASHINGTON. May s.-The Hon. Henry
c. Ide. member Of the Philippines Com
mission and Secretary OF Finance and
Justice OF tho Philippines, called at the
War Department this afternoon to pay his
respects to Secretary Root.
Mr.. Ide. who Ia In the United States on a
six months vacation. docs not believe
in An early settlement u the friar land
question In the Philippine Islands, and
told SrN reporter this afternoon that
he thought IL would he another year before
definite adjustment OF the controversy
could be brought about. The delay he at
tributes TO the slowneas Of the machinery
Of the Church and To the desire of the friars
to get a. high a price as possible for their
property. There was an impression In
Manila. he said. that some agreement
would be reached In q few months but this
did not agree With his opinion; He said
all Church property used by the Govern
nAent or which may be needed In the future.
The question Of price to be paid BY the
Philippine Government is now occupying
the attention Of the officials. The owners
high price for the friar lands, At the pres
ent time it looks AZ II 1t might be necessary
TO refer tho matter to board Of valuation
and later submit the whole question to
arbitration. or, in the event OF failure
to come TO some agreement in this way.
final resort may be had TO the courts.
Commissioner Ide described very fully
the great projects already under way for
the. Improvement Of the Philippines. Sew
eral million dollars are to be expended
In the improvement Of the harbor of.Manila,
and appropriations have already been
made for the improvement Of other harbors
Of the principal islands Of the archipelago.
He said that it was gratifying to see how
the people Of the United States responded
to the subscription to the IS 900 900 OF Philip
pines certificates OF indebtedness.
1T is a safe investment for any one,
he said. 1T gives quick return and is
absolutely secure. The Philippines are

Fusion.

That three out Of the four partners
in the fusion that elected Mayor Low.
namely. the Republicans. the Greater
New York Democrats and the German
Democrats. should turn the back or the
cold shoulder upon the Citizens Unions
invitation for another conference does
not mean that they are against fusion,
or against Mayor Low as a candidate.
We fancy that those who thus hesitate
aim to impress upon the minds of people
in and about tho Citizens Union the
idea that the latter organization or as
ISOLATION must not pose as the Mayor
maker absolute, and that the support
Of the other organizations Ia not to be
had either on order or for the asking.
The three organizations in question still
claim rights which the Citizens Union
is bound to respect
The increased independence of the
three is easily accounted for. The result
Of the anti-Tsmmany administration has
been to lessen greatly the moral press
ure which drove those outside OF the
