camp. Ore is being taken ont of such
quality and in such quantity az to throw
the richest leases on the Mizpah in the

proves to be feet wide and all shipping
ore. About fifty miners are at work
and ore is being extracted on all four
levels. Wines are being sunk and up
raises maid on all the levels.
1t is estimated that over $500, 900

duce 81 ,OOO, 900 by the close Of the leas-
ing period, October 3lst.
About $500 sacks Of ore are now piled
up awaiting shipment and the ore is be-
ing sent out as rapidly as possible. One
ASSAY from the so foot level this week
went $3.50.
Reliable estimates place the daily pro-
ducton Of one lease at $40 600 daily and
of all Jumbo leases at $4,000
On the Richard & Co. lease No. 9 a

TAYLOR lease on the Velvet. 1t is the
sensation Of the camp and has possibili-
ties which at this writing appear limit
less.
Following the rich surface strike, the
ledge has now been uncovered for about
so feet and the richest shoot shows
about 8 feet wide. Already 100 sacks Of
ore have been taken out, with only two
and a half days work. This ore is worth
at least 81 900 ton. Assays which
have been made run up to SIC, 900 ton.
From the top of the ground in a space
about 40x50 feet, about l25 tons of loose

about $55 ton.
All the indications are favorable that
the Velvet will hold out with depth and
that it will become one of the biggest

Endowment House.

Endowment House.
Washington, Dec. IA. - Five wit
hesses were examined by the senate
committee on privileges and elections
in the investigation OF protestants
against Senator Reed SmOot retaining

the marriages in the temple, Mr.. Wal
lis said 1t is necessary to take the en-
dowment before marriage, and in this
way he had passed through the En-
dowment House 20 times at least. The
ceremonies. he said. are always sub
stantially the same, and each one con-
sumes about two hours.
Mr.. Wallis said he had a distinct
recollection of the ceremonies within
the temple, and that he is able to de-
scribe them just as they took place.
He was asked to give the oaths taken
by those who participated, and this
he did. together with a description of
the secret signs executed by each per-
SON Nearly all of the obligations were
that those who took part would not
reveal anything they saw or heard OF
penalties of mutilation of the person.
and every one who passed through the
temple, said the witness, was COM
PEELED to agree to the conditions laid
down by the priests.
The penalties agreed to were given
by Mr.. Wallis as follows:
That the throat be cut from ear to
ear and the tongue torn out.
That the breast be cut asunder and
the heart and yitals torn from the
body.
That the body be cut asunder at the
middle and the bowels cut out.

Jefferson Bible" In Demand.

Washington, Dec. 14.-Judging by
the demand upon senator's and repre-
sentatives, "the Jefferson Bible" has
proved to be one of the most popular
books ever published by the govern
ment. The present edition of 10000
copies has been practically exhausted,
and its distribution seems merely to
have whetted the appetite of the read
ing public. Senators and members are
flooded with requests for the book.
which they are unable to comply with.
Resolutions for a second edition have
been introduced in both the senate and
the house, but it is stated that owing
to the expensive nature of the volume
it is doubtful whether this will be
ordered.

.PENNSY WINS
| W. U. CASE
Supreme Court Says Railroad Had
Right to Remove Poles.
AN OPINION HANDED DOWN

Washington, Dec. 1S.-The supreme
kOurt of the United States decided In
favor Of the railroad in the case of the
Western Union Telegraph company VS.
ahe Pennsylvania Railroad company,
anVolving the right of the telegraph
company to condemn a part of the
railroads right of way in Western
Pennsylvania and appropriate it for its
lines. This is a second case in the con-
Aroversy between these companies.
The opinion was handed down by
Justice McKenna. In the decision the
court held that the congressional act
of 1866, which controlled in the case,
does not grant eminent domain to
telegraph companies over the private
property of railroad companies.
In his opinion Justice McKenna re-
viewed the case from its inception,
saying that it came to the supreme
court from the decision of the circuit
court of appeals for the third circuit,
which was adverse to the contentious
OF the telegraph companies, to the eff
feet that theaaet of July "a, 1866, grant
ing companies aalong post roads gives
the right of eminent domain and adj
ding that the supreme court sustains
that view. Justice .IcKenna stated that
the suit began with the filing of bill
in equity in the United States court in
New Jersey by the telegraph company
TO restrain the railroad company from
removing the telegraph poles placed
there in 1881 under a 20-year contract. !
Justice Harlan delivered a dissent |
ing opinion, holding that the act of |
1856 gives to telegraph companies the |
unequivOcal right to construct and op- |
crate lines not only upon the public
domain, but along any post road of the
United States. and he contended that
II the decision was to stand the United
States government could not itself en-
ter upon the rights of way of railroad
companies.
Justice Brewer Goncurred in the de-
cision, but said he did so because he
considered that the points in contro-
versy had been determined in previous
litigation.
The contention of tie telegraph
company in this case, as in the case
involving the right of the railroad
company to remove the poles of the
telegraph company, was that the tele-
graph company had the right to main
tain its lines of telegraph over and ]
along the railroads of the railroad COM 1
pany for the use so appropriated, SO t
long as the maintenance of its tele-
graph lines does not materially inter
fere with the ordinary travel of such J
roads, and that the right can be assert
I'd by proceedings in eminent domain,
but this was denied. Il
There was also an additional ele- Il
nent caused by the claim of the tele-
'raph company as the lessee of the At SC
antic and Ohio Telegraph company. in be
orporated by the state in 1S49 and au- "a
horized "to crest and construct works. an
Offices, fixtures and structures along WI
nd across any of the roads" This
ONT was decided adversely to the tes
Western Union on the ground that vi
eminent domain cannot be delegat- an
/" and that '1essees cannot exer- tes
se it." cal

Washington, Dec. 14-The District
OF Columbia court of appeals affirmed
the decision of the criminal court in
the postal conspiracy cases of August
W. Machen, George E. Lorenz, Samuel
A. Croft and DIller d. Croft, who were
sentenced to two years Imprisonment
in the West Virginia penitentiary and
to pay fine of $4,000
The court of appeals announced that
after considering every point made by
counsel no error had been found in the
proceedings in the trial for which the
judgment ought to be reversed
It is probable that the counsel for
the defense in the postal cases will
now seek to carry the cases to the su-

SPECIAL SESSION IN DELAWARE
Legislature to Meet December 90 to
Amend Judgment Lien Laws.

Wilmington, Del, Dec. IA. - Gov
ernor Hum decided to call a special
session of the Delaware legislature for
December 20.
This action was taken in response to
the almost unanimous request of the
lawyers of Kent and Sussex counties
for the purpose of securing an amend
ment to judgment lien law affecting
those two counties, passed at the last
session. The act makes invalid all
judgments on real estate after 10 years
unless renewed by agreement in writ
ing between the two parties, but a
blunder in the law made it apply to all
liens on the 1st of January next, in
stead Of those entered on January l.
1895, the year 1905 having been stated
in the law where the year 1895 was in
tended to be.

TORSON WILL RUN IF
LAW PERMITS HIM
State Senator Looks to Place on Rail
road and Warehouse Commission.

Senator Thomas Torson, of Waton-
wan county, who has been mentioned
in connection with being a candidate
for a nomination for railroad and
warehouse commissioner, was in st.
Paul last night and admitted that pos
sibly he is ineligible, under the consti-
tuition of the state, for the office,
though he should be elected.
81 have not looked into the NATTER
he said last night at the Merchants,
"but I shall obtain thet best legal ad-
vice before deciding not to get into
the fight My congressional district
the Second-has no place on the ticket,
even in prospective and if 1 find that
I am eligible I shall probably make a
fight for a place on the ticket as rail-
road and warehouse commissioner"
TorsOn is a member of the state SEN
ate from WatonWan county, and his
term of office does not expire until Dec.
81, 1905. The constitution provides
that member Of either the senate or
house Of representatives is ineligible
to any office other than that of post
master. 1t is said that Torson will
have strong support If it is found that
the constitution does not stand be-
tween friends"

charge and no promise made that the
information will be turned over to
either the sheriff or the chief of police
and these officials given an opportunity
to make arrests before the names of
the alleged offenders are published.
Speaking of this phase of the case
Republican said:
1t does seem that the campaign COM
mittee would exercise some judgment in
matter of this kind. 1t not only pub
lished advance notice of the proposed ar
rests, but makes bad matter worse by
giving notice that other charges are to be
made. If such is the case the only policy
would be to keep the matter quiet until
the arrests have been made There is no
doubt that if the committee is in posses
sion of the evidence that it claims to
have the chief of police would place the
criminals under arrest at once if asked
to do so. 1 think that the people of St
Paul know Chief O'Connor too well to be-
lieve for moment that he would neglect
to do his duty in a case of this or any
other kind, and the efforts of the cam
paign committee to create the impression
that such is not true will not do the Re
publican ticket any good.
At the sheriff's office it is admitted
that arrests on the warrants that have
been issued are out of the question, the
efforts of the deputies having failed to
locate any one of the six men. 1t is
further admitted that the search is no
longer active.
