into farce, q game of childish horse
play. The latest developme about
noon today, was the alleged transfer
Of the Philbrick quarter interest in
the right Of way to AL Geiser. The
purpose of this move Is obvious and
comment is unnecessary.
Two years ago Seymour Bell started
in to promote this road, and with
the aid Of the county commissi oners
demo monstrated that this right Of way,
over which all the present contest Is
being waged, was not absolutely
necessary, that It Is not the in
dispensible key to the situation.
At that time the money could not
be raised. Now three different
syndicates claim to have funds
available for the purpose and, from
the best information the Miner can
obtain, none of them are dealing out
hot air. The one that starts wrok
first will win popular approval. which
is a desirable asset as things stand
now; for valuable franchises are yet
to be granted by the City Of Sumpter.
II Henry Hewitt takes notion to
build that road, he will do 1t and
ignore dozen opposition rights Of
way. fight the thing out in the courts
after he has bis road In operation.
That Is bis way of doing business.
The only sensible course for the
opposing factions to pursue Is to get
together, treat each other right and
build the road ointly, harmoniously.
There is no disposition on the part
Of Messrs. killen, Bell or Mohr to
hold anybody up. They are all
acting in good faith aud there ought
not to be any insurmountable
in the way of these three
Of several interests

What Sixty.Cent Silver Means.

II silver quotations remain at 60 y
cents. IL will mean an increase of
nearly 500. 200 per month to the
mine owners of the Occur d Alenes
In Idaho over prices received last
year. Last year the Occur d'Alene Il
produced 5,527, 1872 ounces Of silver.
Silver during 1902 was quoted as
low as i7as cents, which was In
December, while the highest average
monthly quotation was In February,
fifty five cents. During 1902 the
average price received by the mine
owners from the smelters was about
tfifty cents. The total amount realized,
therefore,, on the gross output at
afty cents was %. 763, 500, or $3.50,
900 per month. With silver at 80 =
cents an ounce, II the quotation
remains constant, II can be easily
seen what q financial harvest the
mine owners Of the district will reap
each month. Mining World.

Cleveland Moffett in the November
number Of McClure's, in which in

the life Of the lorvae as such, long
after their fellows Of contemporaneous
birth had passed away ~ aged moths.
OF the several larvae on which the

Again, In view of the remarkable

hereabouts regarding the status of
the Sumpter. Bourne right Of way.
1t has been rumored around that the
Kilien, Warner, Stewart company had
forfeited its boud on the half
interest held by the late Thomas
McEwen, because of failure to pay
certain moneys when due.
Such are not the facts. Questioned
regarding the matter this forenoon
by Miner representative, d. L.
Killen said: "When you asked me
regarding this report a week ago, l
told you that all the money had been
paid Here are the proofs Of my
assertion" -"
Then Mr.. Killen produced the
original option, signed October 90,
1902, calling for the payment Of
$500 within fifteen days, In addi-
tion to the $500 then IN escrow,
which this contract released, the
check In payment for which was
dated September l3. This check the
Miner was shown; another for ell5O,
dated November 9, one day before
the payment was due, and another
for 5000. dated November 8. one
day after the full payment was due.
Mr.. Killen stated in explanation
that $3.50 Of the last named check
went to B. L. McLain for an option
on his quarter interest in the
franchise, which he also secured
through Mr.. MoEwen, as Mr.. Nc.
Lain's attorney In fact. lie also has
this power Of attorney. The remain.
ing amount due Mr.. McLain was
never paid, aud the bond expired in
July Of this year. The other $3.50
Of the 5000 check completed the
payment of the $500 due Tom Mo
Even.
Unfortunately, there has been some
bitterness engendeved regarding this
matter, owing to unfOunded street
rumors and the ill-advised publica.

articles attacking Bella Kadish directly
aud ID. l.. Killen indirectly, intimat-

tion was drawn from the money that
that paper boasted II knew was not
1t would be profitless to
discuss. One thing is certain, some
damage has In this way been done.
The Miner hopes that 1t Ia not
irreparable.
The situation Ia like this. Bella
Kaidsh controls a half interest In
the right Of way. Anthony Mohr
and his associates control the other
half, having tied up the quarter each
Of Messrs. Philpbrick and McLain.
II would seem to be good business
sense for these two contending In.
terests to meet smicably and endeavor
to settle their differences, unite on
the enterprise and build the road
without farther sparrinR for points.
A scrap at this time will defeat

this town wants, presumably also, |

Since writing the above, Seymour
II. Bell has shown in the office Of
The Miner a bill Of sale from B. L.

pany for his quarter interest in the

THE WORLDS FAIR LAGOONS.
More Than Mile of Wide La- GOOns, Studded With Varied Wa
 ter Craft In the Main Picture.

St. Louis, Aug. 18.-Electric launch es, large electric barges, Venetian gon- dolas and large number of other small craft will ply the mile of water ways at the Worlds fair next year. The large boats will run over regular courses carrying passengers between landings, which will be supplied in various parts of the grounds. The la goons reach every section of the main picture of the exposition, passing by the facades of many of the big exhib- it palaces and offering an uneXampled view of the carcades and fountains. The Intramural railroad and the mini ature railway do not reach this dis trict, so that the water transportation will be an attractive means of travel in the main picture'
 The electric launches will carry about p persons each; the barges, 70 persons each and the picturesque gondolas, with singing gondoliers, will carry from eight to twenty persons each. The latter will be rented by the hour. All boats will be equipped with awnings. Besides these boats there will be operated fleet of water craft of all nations, including the house. boat of China, the Balso of India, the out-rigger of the South Sea islands, the surf boats of Hawaii the canoes and dug-outs of the American Indian and the catamaran of Australia Nov city boats designed to represent pea cocks, swans, sea serpents and other real and fabled beings will also be operated. Special boats decorated and equipped with music and singing gon- doliers will be maintained for private boating parties which will be a social feature of the exposition.

The More Conservative, However, Only See Cause for Increased Tension-HuIRaria DiscInims the Slightest Desire to Antagonize Turkey.

Sofia Bulgaria, Aug. 18.-The foreign diplomats here are anxiously watching the effect of the memorandum which the Bulgarian government has present ed to the powers on the subject of the condition of affairs in Macedonia They fear it may excite popular opinion in Bulgaria, and point out that such em- phatic, outspoken criticism is usually reserved for manifestos issued on the eve of war, although it is regarded as being quite improbable that the mem orandum was a prelude, in the present case, to anything more serious than in- creased tension. Most of the diplomatic representatives at Sofia visited the for eign office here Monday and received assurances from the foreign minister that Bulgaria had not the slightest de- sire to antagonize Turkey or any other power, but merely wished to show un- mistakably where the responsibility for the Macedonian revolution be- longed.

Santa Barbara Cal, Aug. 18.-Miss Katherine Grathwol, of St Paul, Minn., is dead; Frederick Lueders, an artist of this city, is raving maniac, and Fred Webster, Nellie Stone, Fred Gil bert and Grace Porter, also of this city, can not be located and at this time mystery surrounds the whole affair
 The party left here, Sunday for days picnic at the summit of the mountains, which is reached by Lacumbre trail. Frederick Lueders arrived in town Sunday night and reported that one of the party, Miss Grathwol, was dying, but he was so exhausted that none of the particulars could be learned. A party then left for the scene and Lueders followed them. They returned at midnight with Lueders, who was found at the foot of the grade raving maniac. He could give no account of the whereabouts of the rest of the par ty. The efforts of the searchers so far have been fruitless in finding any trace of the lost eXcursionists. Miss Grath- vol was staying in Santa Barbara for her health and was only A years old.
