MINERALS CONTAIN ARSENIC.
Ores Heretofore Thought Valueless Be-
come Money Makers.

Tacoma. June 2S.-Mineral creek ores,
heretofore thought almost valueless,
are now found to be a source of pros
pective great wealth for the arsenic
they contain.
Ledges containing gold and silver
were discovered along Mineral creek
ten years ago. Transportation was not
then available and tests showed the
ores to run so high i'll arsenic as to
make their treatment very expensive at
an ordinary smelter.
Following the construction of the Ia
coma Eastern railway to the vicinity
of Mineral creek a strong company has
acquired the arsenic properties and
built a twenty-ton smelter for their
treatment.
Test runs of fifteen tons shows the
product to run from seventy-five to
eighty per cent In pure white arsenic.
Experts say the supply at Mineral
creek is the greatest known in this
country.
AS soon as the arsenic mines can be
developed the smelter will be run con-
tinuously, giving an output valued at
$500. 900 to 100000 yearly. Gold and
silver will be caved as by-products.

TO SUPPORT GOLD STANDARD.
Decision Of British Committee After
American Commissions Visit.

London. June 2S. - The American
monetary commission will start for
Paris tomorrow morning. The men,
bers of the commission are very much
gratified by their cordial reception in
England. They secured from the Brit
ish government all the support they
expected for the project of giving sta
bility TO the monetary systems OF the
various nations using silver.
The British committee has agreed to
recommend to the government that it
support the principle OF the introduc-
ton of the gold standard in silver-us-
ing countries on the basis of silver
coin of unlimited legal tender power.
with a fixed gold value. This recon-
mendation will be made on the ground
that such a system will promote the
development of silver-using countries
and stimulate the trade of the nations
using gold.
Great Britain showed the utmost de-
sire at every step in the negotiations
to grant everything to the American
commission which was consistent with
public policy.

PIG IRON SALES INCREASE.
Rogers, Brown & Co. Say That New
Business Has Trebled in Months.

New York, June 2S.-Concerning the
iron situation Rogers, Brown & Co.
have the following to say:
Measured by the number and vol
ume of orders the pig iron market has
decidedly improved. New business
coming out has doubled and trebled the
past week as compared with the six
weeks preceding it. It is known that
some Of the largest interests in the
country are feeling the market.
1T should not be inferred from the
above that buying is back to it's normal
proportions. The rank and file are
holding off, and will do so until there
is good evidence that the bottom of
prices has been reached. No one ever
recognizes the bottom when il is reach
ed. Even the shrewdest buyers lose
their advantage through incredulity In
merchant pig iron at least. indica tions
now favor slow curtailment of output.
"Foundries and mills are full of
work and. while some hesitation Is no.
ticed, due to labor troubles and high
costs. it is believed that as these
causes are gradually removed. the vol
ume of business will be larger than
ever. 1t is now running above the level
Of a year ago"

THE PROPHET ADDICkS
Says Time Will Come when His Gas
Franchise Will Be Voted For.

Wilmington. Del. June 2S.-J. Ed
ward Addicks is still cunning for his
franchise to lay the gas mains of his
Hydrogen company in the streets
of this city, and as a result there was a
stormy scene between him and the
street and sewer directors yesterday
morning.
The row was between the gas mag
nate and Andrew Johnson, one of the
directors of the sewer board. Mr.. Ad-
dicks accused Mr.. Johnson of evadinG
the motion at the previous meeting to
grant the franchise. This he said
was due to the fact that Johnson was a
regular republican, while he was Il
union republican.

that there was no politics in the mat

repeated his statement.
