repulsive and effective. But IL all re-

majority Of the commissioners. Messrs
Aylesworth and Jette refused to sign.
The decision grants all the Ameri-

one relating to the Portland canal.
The signatories were Lord Chief JUS
tice Alverstone and Senators Lodge
and Turner and Secretary Root, the
American commissioners. They con-
stituted a majority, and insured final
ity. Messrs. Aylesworth and Jette
carried out their outspoken disapprov.

that portion of the decision giving the

pressed their attitude by walking out
of the cabinet room in the foreign
Office before the signing of the histor-

SCARCITY OF WORK
Railroads Must Stop COnstruc.
ton Work Soon.
The Scarcity Of Labor Results in Much
Expense and Incon-
venience.
DOUBLE TRACKING DELAYED

Although it has been more or less .
serious proposition from the outset of
the double-t tracking between Men,
phis and Fulton, Ky, the Illinois
Central has found the scarcity of labor
and the consequent exorbitant price
for same an obstacle against which il
does not propose to strain itself to
overcome at this time. Hence the
work of double tracking, along part of
the route at least, will be suspended
until labor conditions improve or sd-
just themselves better to the necessi-
ties Of the progress Of the day.
The Illinois Central has been paying
for ordinary unskilled labor 35 to 75
per cent more for nine hours q day
work than ever before, and that even
at this extraordinary price is unable to
obtain sufficient labor to make the
progress in the work necessary to tho
demands of the situation. The scare
ity of unskilled labor is attributed 10
the prosperous conditions prevailing
over the country, every town and city
| utilizing ell the labor obtainable in
the various lines Of employment that
contribute to growth and improve
ment.
1t is said that the Illinois Central
will resume the work of double.traok-
ing next year, or as soon as sufficient
labor can be obtained to complete the
task now partially finished.
The work of double tracking will
not be suspended along the entire
route between Memphis and Fulton,
but at such places where the scarcity
of labor is most pronounced. This
scarcity is felt with especial force at
Halls, Tenn, about 100 miles below
Paducah.
The situation now confronting the
Illinois Central at Halls suggests the
Aihlh Cou5c Aux thc VI
railroad managers to withhold plans
for future construction work. It is a
fact that new railroad construction
will be discontinued after the compile
tion OF contracts now in course of ex-
ecution, and the cause of it is tho
scarcity of labor and the consequent
exorbitant prices demanded by that
which is available.
1t is predicted that within five or
six months the labor now demanding
fancy prices, and hardly obtainable at
that, would be looking for employ
ment at greatly reduced compensa-
ton.

TREASURE TROVE
MAKES AN HEIRESS
Girls Father, a Miner, Dies,
Leaving Barrels of Silver
In the Cellar.

Jane Ring, q domestic servant, whose
home is at Calumet, Mich, and whose
father was for many years employed
in the mines at Calumet and Red Jack
ct, has just received a welcome piece
of news. 1t makes the difference to
Miss Ring between poverty and COM
parative affiuence.
Miss Ring came to Minneapolis four
months ago to work in the family of
Ronald Smith, on James avenue. She
is an exceedingly pretty girl, twenty
one years of age, and possessed of the
dark hair and fresh complexion Of the
Cornish maiden.
Miss Rings father, Richard Ring,
died a year ago, leaving his family
practically without means. His death
resulted from pinch In one of the
lower workings of the Hecla property.
The family, consisting of the mother,
Martha Ring, and two daughters, Jane
and Mary, moved to Houghton. The
poor circumstances in which they were
left did not seem to bother them. Mary,
the older girl, went to work in a laun-
dry at Houghton, and Jane went to
Duluth, coming later to this city
The house in which the Rings lived
was one-story affair. with a cellar in
such bad repair that IT had been dis
used for years. In this cellar Richard
Ring kept disused mining tools and
other lumber, including about fifteen
small powder barrels filled with some
mineral refuse, apparently. Ring new
er suggested that this stuff was of any
special value. He began its accumu-
lation many years ago, taking pieces of
the dirty colored mineral from his
pockets after returning from each

! working shift, and depositing them in

working shift, and depositing them in
the barrels.
Recently Mrs. Ring, who had had the
stuff removed to barn for storage on
leaving her house after the husbands
death, told a mining friend Of the bar
rels, and he, Suspecting that the min
eral might be of value made an eX-
animation. To his establishment, he
found that the barrels were filled with
silver in a nearly pure state, in pieces
varying in size from a dime to an egg.
He Informed Mrs. Ring of the char
acter Of the deposit in the barn, and
she Immediately informed representa-
tiveS of the mining company of the
matter. 1t was supposed that the COM
pany would assert a claim TO the sill
yer, but nothing of the sort happened.
1t turns out that under the improved
system of treating copper ore, which
has been in use now for a number of
years, all silver Is extracted from the
waste of crushing and converted into
an asset for the corporation.
Under the old system, however, no
effort was made by the copper mining
companies to separate the silver that
occurred often in considerable quaint
ties and miners were permitted to
pocket such pieces of silver as came
under their notice. Many of them
made more money by their silver pick
ing than they did from their pay, and
Ring was persistent collector of sill
Yer groupings.
Miss Ring received notice in a letter
from her mother that, while the value
Of the silver has not been estimated
at present, there is certainly enough
of 1t to place the family beyond reach
of want for a long time to come. The
young woman says that she has no
idea why her father kept the nature
of his hoard IN the cellar a secret from
his family, unless it was that he feared
someone might lay claim to it.

robbers and the wounding and capture
of another. Many shots were eXchang-

Late last night three masked men

the night policeman and bound and
gagged him. The officer was marched
to the postoffice, where he was COM

working some time they gave up the
job without securing anything of value.
They then entered the store of F. E.

sum of money. Later they stole a horse
and buggy and drove to Ravenna,
where they boarded freight train for

and a running fight began. One of
