Items of Interest Gathered During the
Past Week-New Discoveries in B.
C.-Coeur d'AIene District Making a
Great Showing-Numerous Mining
Accidents and Personals.

The managers of the Denver smell
ters were taken completely by sur
prise recently when at a meeting Of
the smeltermen's union a strike was
declared, taking effect at once, and
they were wholly unprepared for the
walkout which followed. BY the draw
ing of the fires from under the fur
naces at the Grant and Globe shelters
the risk of a heavy loss to the Amer
lean Smelling & Refining company was
incurred.
At the two smelters there are II
furnaces full of ore and should they
freeze up" they will have to be blast
ed out and rebuilt. 1t is said by those
informed on the situation that this
strike is the first move in a general
campaign for an eight hour day for all
unions affiliated with the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners and that the fight
will be to a finish.
There are $500 men employed in
the three smelters of Denver, but the
Argo plant which is Independent of
the trust, will probably not be involved
in the strike. In the disturbance in
the Globe smelter, attending the with
drawal of the men, Engineer Edwards
was struck on the head with a club
and badly injured.
A train of q ore cars were derailed
at the entrance of the Globe smelter
by caulked switch.

Course of the Message.

The course of President Roosevelt's
message to Mr. Mackay was by the
Postal Telegraph company's land line
from Oyster Bay to San Francisco,
thence by the Commercial Pacific cable
to Honolulu, to Midway, to Guam and
to Manila. From Manila to Hong
Kong the message passed by the ca
BILE which was lifted and cut by Ad-
miral Dewey in 1898. From Hong
Kong it went to Saigon to Singapore
to Penang, to Madras, to Bombay
to Alden, to Suez, to Alexandria, to
Malta, to Gibraltar, to Lisbon and to
the Azores. Between Hong Kong and
the Azores it passed by foreign ca
bles. At the Azores it was taken VI
again by the commercial cable and
sent to Canso, thence to New York
and thence to Oyster Bay.
The message was sent at 1928 p
m. and was received by Mr.. Mackay
at 1875 making the time of its trans
mission around the world II minutes
The opening of the cable to Manila
was a success in every way. No ex
element marked the opening of the
great wire that is acknowledged to be
the grandest triumph in mechanical
skill since the completion Of the trans
continental railway. Only a few of the
operators and one official of the Pos
