Merger Smashed by Court.

According to Mondays dispatches, the gov

case. The supreme court has handed down an
opinion in which the opinion of the circuit
court for the district of Minnesota was affirmed
The effect is to sustain the contention that. the
Sherman antitrust law applies to railroad coma

st. Patrick's Pence in New Jersey.

Coins bearing the image of St. Patrick were
once legal tender in New Jersey.
These were issued by the confederation of
Kilkenny when it ruled Ireland with but little
interference from London, raised armies and
sent out ambassadors.
They circulated in Ireland long after the
glorious day of the confederation, but were
"called in" at length because they were a con-
stant reminder of period when Irish national
independence was almost accomplished.
To the colony of New Jersey, where they
could do no harm, and would be of great serv-
ice, most of them were sent in care of gov
ernment agent, one Mark Newly. They were
legalized in 1862, the law declaring that, "for
the more convepisnt payment of small sums of
money Mark Newby's coppers, called Patrick's
halfpence, shall pass as haifpence current pay"

British Columbia Notes.

The Cliff, the LIE Roi No. 2 and the
Jumbo in Rossland camp, and the
Mountain Lion in Republic, Wash, are
now shipping ore to the CRANKY smelt.
er at Grand Forks.
Ore shipments from the Boundary
district for the first six months of 1904
amounted to 444,266 tons.
The daily output of zinc ore around
the Sandon concentrators exceeds So
tons, of which the Star produces 70
| tons.
Ore shipments from Rossland camp
for last week show an increase Total,
6160 tons; total for the year to date,
213,113 tons.
Boundary ore shipments for last
week, total for the week, 1887. The
CRANKY smelter treated II ,O31 tons, or
352,445 tons for the year to date.
Initial shipments of concentrates
have been made from the War Eagle
Center Star mill to the Trail smelter.
Details as to the contents of the pro.
duct have not been divulged. The
cyanide department is not running full
ly, but otherwise the works are oper-
ating steadily, and complete activity
is expected in few days.
The Gem mine, Long Lake camp,
which is under bond to Robert Wood
and associates, shipped car of high
grade ore this week.
A trial shipment of two cars of ore
to the Greenwood smelter has been
made by the Lead King, a property
near Anaconda, B. c. 1t was recently
bonded for $4,000 to T. A. Garland,
who afterward turned over the bond to
the British Columbia Copper company.
The ore is said to be an excellent flux.
The Emma mine in Summit camp
has recently been sought for by three
different corporations. Shipments for
two or three years prove the ore ad-
mirably adapted for fluxing with other
copper ores, and all the smelters are
glad to get it.

BOMB IN NEW YORK CROWD,
Score of People Injured by the Ex
pIosion.


New York, Aug. 10-A bomb thrown
into a crowd of Italians in One Hun
dred and Fifteenth street injured a
score or more and led to the arrest of
Vincenzo Donetto. Donetto, the po-
lice believe, is member of the BLACK
Hand" society, which for some time
has terrorized residents of the Italian
district here, extorting money from
them by threats and acts of violence.
DOnetto was himself more severely
injured by the bomb than any of the
others, one leg being badly torn. Two
rival saloonkeepers on opposite street
corners were giving away beer, in an
effort to outdo each other, and crowd
surrounded each place.
Peter Dimero, who was acting as
doorkeeper at one of the saloons, says
Ethat Donetto approached him and de-
manded money, which was refused.
He Immediately stepped back, took a
bomb from his pocket, lighted it's fuse
and threw it, An explosion followed,
and men, women and children ran
screaming from the place. Donetto was
knocked down, but soon recovered
sufficiently to be able to get away.

$94, ,694, ,O5O. Production in California
increased more than 100000 barrels,
While the Texas production decreased
more than 100000 barrels.
