First and Second Hand News of
An important Nevada
Industry

The purchase by the government of
100000 ounces of silver a month for
ten months for the purpose of coin
ing silver pesos for the Philippines.
ought to advance the price of the
metal somewhat, inasmuch as the
stock is all purchased in this coun-
try.
There has been a great shortage of
power at Roosevelt, in the Thunder
mountain region. Some rs men are
said to be at work. The Gold Reef
company,it is said, have crosscut it's
vein for 100 feet without finding the
wall. The Glasgow and Dundee prop
erty has been bonded to Joplin, Mo-,
parties.
According to advices from Washing
ton, officials of the Postofice Depart
ment are starting a campaign to the
end Of barring from the mails all who
are advertising worthless stock. It ap-
pears that the complaints have been
made against several Montana cop
per concerns, and that inspectors have
been detailed to investigate. If it is
found that the property is not as rep
resented fraud orders will be issued.
On Thursday one of the most i'm
portant strikes of the winter was made
in the West End. At a depth of 800
feet the shaft penetrated a ledge of
blue iron-stained quartz having all
the characteristics of the first quartz
struck in the Fraction and the Mon
tana Tonopah. Yesterday the entire
bottom Of the shaft was in vein mat
ter. The lode is pitching to the
north at an angle of As degrees and
seems to be making for the Mcnamara
ground. No assays have been made
yet, but the appearance of the rock
indicates that it will carry satisfactory
values. The strike is most significant,
since it adds greatly to the speculative
value of the properties to the north
west and materially enlarges the area
of proved territory. The next fort
night is likely to see some great de-
velopments in this property, says the
Tonopah Miner.

ALASKA BOUNDARY
TREATY Is SIGNED BY
HAY AND HERBERT
Creates a Tribunal Of Jurists, Repre-
senting Both Sides, Who Shall
Interpret Meaning Of
Treaty OF 1895.

Washington, Jan. A.--secretary Hay
and British Ambassador Herbert today
signed the treaty providing for settle
ment Of the Alaskan boundary question
The treaty provides for reference OF all
boundary questions to mixed tribunal
Of jurists, three on each side, to deter
mine the Interpretation to be placed on
the treaty of 1S25 between Great Britain
and Russia, which defined the bound
airy between British America and Alas
ka.
The proposition is virtually the same
as that brought forward by the Ameri-
can members Of the high joint commis-
sion which met In Washington three
years ago, but which then was rejected
by the British and Canadian represent
atiyes.
1t has taken three years to obtain the
consent Of the British and Canadian
governments to adjust the boundary
dispute on this basis. II is understood
that the treaty has been drawn up af-
ter consultation with the leading
members of the senate of both political
parties. The administration desires
to do everything possible in advance to
secure ratification.

Colorado Democrats Finally Get
Together and Name Him for
United States Senator.
HIS ELECTION IS QUESTIONED
Republicans DO Not COncede 1t
Legality-Ankeny Men Are
Hopeful for His Early
Election.

Denver, Jan. 24.--At o'clock this af-
ternoon the democratic members of the
senate and house cast their ballots, 81
In number. for Henry NJ. Teller to sue
coed himself as United States senator
and he was declared elected by Presi-
dent w. ii. Adams.
Since Monday morning the democrat
ic branch Of the senate had been in
practically continuous session, and
since Wednesday at noon the joint ses-
sion Of the democratic members of both
houses had been continuous.
From yesterday morning all the DEM
ocrats were ready to cast their ballots
for Teller except Representative NJ. J.
Madden Of Denver. The absence of
Madden was unaccounted for until this
afternoon, when It was learned that he
was at home, i'll. and had been borbid-
den to leave the house by his physician.
In spite Of his condition, however, he
decided to attend this evening, and at
the hour named cast his vote for Teller.
There were 10 republican members Of
either house present, and the legality
Of the election is not admitted by the
republican leaders.
While the election Of Senator Teller
by the democratic portion Of the gen
eral assembly has removed one element
OF uncertainty from the situation, it
has not cleared the atmosphere. The
election is declared Illegal by the re-
publican leaders and the dual senates
are still maintained.
