BALKAN WAR CLOUD.

The situation throughout the Balkans
causes serious apprehension in Paris,
but the French foreign Office says the
conditions are not regarded rs being
critical and xre considered to be largely
the result of Turkish intrigue.
Official adviees show that Turkey is
threatening to adopt radical, disciplinary
measures against Bulgaria, but the au-
thorities in Paris are fully satisfied with
the correctness Of Bulgsria's position,
and it is asserted in Paris that there is
reason to believe that the powers will not
permit the carrying out Of a radical
Turkish policy against Bulgaria. In the
meantime it is the intention Of the
French naval government to send a
French naval division to SalOnica as a
measure Of precsution, and in order to
be prepared for possible spread of the
disorder.
The German government continues to
steadily support the Russian policy at
ConstaDtinopls and in tho Balkan capi-
tails, that policy being understood in
Paris ~ encouraging Turkey to repress
disorders firmly, aud As representing to
Bulgaria especially that net finger will
be lifted to help her should the Porto
claim it necessary ts attack Bulgaria.
In striving " reach the root of tho
anti Turkish agitation Germany, Russia
and Austria, it is explained in Paris,
in their recent representations to Bull
garia notified her that she need not e1-
pect even sympathy should the Sultan'S
troops march over the frontier to do what
Bulgaria refuses to do. At present her
territory Is used as an insurrectionsry
base. Two Of Germany's permanent
policies for the moment coincide. They
are, first, not to oppose Russia at Con-
stantinople and, second, TO support
Turkey. Germsny's purposes in Ana
tolia can best be realized by strengthen
ing Turkey ss a European power and as
a counterweight to Russia. The Ger
man Foreign Office does not regard the
Balkan situation as serious and would
not so regard it even we're Turkey to
declare war against Bulgaria, it being
regarded as highly improbable that any
ruthlessness OF Turkey would occasion
war among the powers.

Is. We drove to the top Of the hill
and left our conveyance and started
down the hill over the ebert until we
came to heavy ledge of sandstone.
We went below the sand cap, and to
our establishment, found the carbon.
ate Immediately beneath.
In cut No, l we found quite an ex-
eavation showing a ledge of carbon
ate of several feet in thickness, and
at the bottom run of sulphide. 1t
is already almost mill proposition.
About 20 feet above Still House
hollow, on branch of Tom Young
hollow. We went down the trend
OF the mineral and found cut No. 2,
3Ox30 feet and 20 feet back into the
hillside. The carbonate, exposed for
30 feet along the hillside with at
least seven feet face, was exposed to
plain view with a good run of sui
phide at the bottom of the carbon
ate at the mouth of this cut.
We found shaft No. l about 80
feet deep showing good crush rock
from the start to the bottom, with
a good quality of jack in the bot.
tom. There is quite a pile of ore on
the dump-carbonate and jack
that is hard to estimate in tons.
All this showing is on The east side
of Still House hollow.
We crossed over the branch to the
west side of it and found shaft No. 2,
about % feet deep, showing crush
rock all the way down.
The Madison placer mine is good
mill proposition beyond all doubt.
Let Doubling Thomas go and see
and be convinced. 1t will be on, of

ment to the operators and owners.
The Madison is one and a quarter
miles from Zinc and the railroad, a
valley all the way down from the
mine to the railroad. A good tram
way can be built right to depot.
The sand cap seems to be in place,
but below the structure shows to be
a simple fracture in the carbonate
formation and the sulphide, in brec-
cha, undulating, with well-marked
dips; also later well-dehned normal
faults. T. w. Johnson, ct al, have a

The Railroad in This County.

Naturally enough the greatest IN
terest is taken in all that pertains to
the railroad now building through
Marion county. The first question
asked is always in regard to the
progress made.
The bridge is progressing at a sat
isfaetory rate. 1t will not be many
weeks before the bridge men will be
brought in for the purpose of put
ting up the steel. The piers are we'll
ON toward completion, and before
the end of the year the bridge gang
will take charge.
The tunnel, which is one of the
great undertakings, and expensive
as well, is we'll under way, and
should be turned over to the conn
pany by the first of February at the
very latest. Day and night the
work proceeds, and there is but little
distance left to connect the two
ends. The work of dressing up this
great hole in the ground will be but
short in regard to time.
The grading is practically COM
pleted as far as Georges creek, it'll
stretches of it done beyond that
point. There is some little dressing
up to be done, but this will take on
" DAYS instead of weeks. Mr. Rey-
nolds has consolidated his camps at
Georges creek. and is now working
men on every unfinished rod of the
ground to be passed over.
The timbers are being hauled for
the various trestles, so there will be
no delay in this respect. The bridge
gang will precede the track layers,
and when the time comes the steel
will be laid without interruption.
1t may now be safely predicted
that the cars will be run into Yell
vile before the first of March. This
will be greatly to the comfort and
profit of all visitors and land own.
