 vention Was Adopted.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL, June 15.-The Democratic state convention here has nominated Lawrence E. Stringer of Lincoln for governor and instructed the delegates to the St. Louis conven- ton to vote as unit for William R. Hearst for the presidential nomina- tion. The convention was controlled by John F. Hopkins, former mayor of Chicago and now chairman of the state central committee. MT. Hearst's campaign managers, who attempted to ride into power by the aid of his name, received no consideration whatever from the convention
 The Harrison. party, which came solely from Chicago and was pledged to the support of Congressman James R. Williams, was routed completely. Mayor Carter H. Harrison was unseat- ed as a delegate and took a train for home without going near the conven- ton. Both his faction and the Hearst party were as nothing compared to the strength and skillful management of the convention exhibited by Hopkins.
 Frank J. Quinn of Peoria presided over the convention both as temporary and permanent chairman.
 The report of the committee on ere. dentials indorsing NIT. Hopkins action and seating his delegates was put through under the gayel in spite of vigorous protests from the adherents of Hearst and Harrison.
 Following this Judge William Prem tiss of Chicago, supporter of Hearst, &on %I1A Vo1o nd hd q a candidate for governor. He declared that he desired nothing from the con vention, as it did not in his opinion, represent the Democracy of Illinois.
 Clayton E. Crafts of Chicago read the report of the committee on resolu- tions. He was frequently interrupted by hoots and jeers, and insinuating questions were hurled at him ill profu- sion. The resolution providing for the indorsement of Mir. Hearst was not made q part of the report of the com mittee on resolutions. but was submit ted to the convention as a separate matter The original resolution pro yi1ed practically tn II the Illinois dele was convenient to vote for somebody else.

 l "A battle began at noon around the l Russian position four and half miles 1 south of the railway station of Vafan-
 gow, the enemy making repeated at l teInpts to dislodge our left flank. The
 attack was repelled, and we retained our position.
 ''The first regiment occupying the I left flank of our position sustained se-

 A Tokyo dispatch says that while the Taihoku was engaged in laying mines at the entrance to Port Arthur mine
 exploded, killing one officer and eight
 cen men and wounding two officers
 and seven men. The Taihoku which is
 a naval transport, was not seriously
 damaged
 | The officer killed in the accident was Lieutenant Commander Oda. He was the inventor of the Japanese mine and by his great activity and skill through

 had added largely to his reputation.
 The Taihoku at the time of the acei-
 dent was under a heavy fire from the
 Russian forts and torpedo boats.

IRONTON, O., June 15.-The special grand jury called to investigate the Hanging Rock labor trouble has made its report as follows: We have investt- gated as fully as possible the recent shooting at Hanging Rock, and we have no hesitation in saying that the mayor and marshal of that village utterly failed to do their duty at the outset and during the trouble. We believe the circumstances existing in that village fully warranted the sheriff in ealing on the governor for troops, and we commend both the sheriff and the troops in suppressing the lawless- ness then existing in the village of Hanging Rock"

Market active. The market today was very active one, all stock ad- Vancing with the exception of P. & D. Something has struck Junction, whose stock opened this morning at s23 and closed this evening at s25.50 bid. There Is certainly something somewhere. 10 cause this advance. or on the other hand everybody is buying up at the same time.
 c. 6 A. which has been at s95.00 for some little time. stepped up a point, being s95 bid and $96 asked.
 c. & P. of which I advised you a few days ago to buy up few, is strong between s29 to s30. We were in receipt of wire today asking us to buy 100 c. &s A. at S29. but there was none of fered at that price.
 L. s. & P. is being sought after by many, and is taken up in large blocks, from 100 upward. At the close they were bidding s31.50 to s32.
 P. X D. shows some weakness, as We have been trying to dispose of some today at s2S.75, but there were no talk CTS. It would be profitable to watch this market very closely, for a little excitement can change it one way or the other very quickly.

UNITED VERDE.
Mine is Getting Back to its Old Basis
 As Copper Producer.

A staff correspondent of the Engi- neering and Mining Joural writes:
 The United Verde mine will soon be on it's old basis as copper producer. For manw wears the output of the United Verde alone made Jerome the largest copper mining camp in the southwest, but since 1889, when the record production of 44,000. 900 pounds was reached, operations have fallen off considerably each year. There is no reason for believing that the de- cline has been due to any exhaustion of the ore bodies, as the underground fire which has been burning for the past five years and the necessity of overhsuling the surface plant are ade- i quate explanations of the decreased production.
 The company has recently re-equip ped the main shaft which will afford greater hoisting facilities. The smel ter is also being rebuilt; two of tho 25O-ton furnaces have been replaced and eventually a third furnace of thu same size will De set up. A dusi chamber of unusually large dimen sions is also in coures of construction
 The ore taken out from the United Verde mine is almost solid sulphides with little fine material and requires no concentration. It is head-roastes before smelting.

GLOBE MINING NEWS.

It is expected that President C. S. Smith of the Old Dominion will visit Globe in the near future.
 J. F. Hechtman, president of the Globe Mining company. informs us that a strike of rich silver ore was made today. at a depth of 135 feet. in the shaft of the Miami mine. owned by the company. The ore is more than a foot wide. and runs several hundred ounces to the ton in silver and carries considerable gray copper. The silver occurs in the form of horn and maIleable. The find will be prospected further.

NOT FAULT OF PROPERTY.
shannon's Earnings Warrant That It's Stock Should Be Much Higher
 Than 1t is.

The continued decline in the price of shannon shares is mystery to the people of this section who are familiar with the situation at the mine and the plant. It is said that the mine is in excellent shape, and certainly the plant is working most successfully. The property is making success. the company IS retiring it's bonds, adding to it's holdings and also improving it's property. Intrinsically the stock is bound to be worth more money today than it ever was before. large num- Der of people in this section have ex- pressed a desire to buy stock at pres ent prices, and no doubt they are pick ing it up every day"
 The above from the Clifton Copper Era may be substantiated by a state ment made to a Review reporter by a gentleman closely informed as to Shannon affairs. This gentleman de- clares that shannon is today the very best mining stock buy on the market. The decline in price the stock has suf- fered, he asserts. is due solely to inter- nal differences that have arisen. These have absolutely nothing to do with the physical condition of the property, which is steadily improving as dc velopment progresses. Both the mines Npf the company and the reduction plant have been unqualified successes an ! are making big money monthly The reaction favorable to price of the stock is bound to come sooner or later. and when it does present buy. CTS may be expected to take down handsome profits.

koENIG ON HIGGINS.
Statement Regarding Recent Disclos
 ures al the Risbee Property.

Professor George A. Koenig, of the Michigan College of Mines gives out the following, in regard to the recent disclosures at the Higgins:
 The tate news from the Higgins are quite encouraging. I think, after weighing them carefully. On Aug. IA Scott Turner wired President N. F. Leopold: Ore shows through iron OK. ide and calspar 16 feet deep, 12 long and five wide. In some places the high grade ore is two feet thick. MT. Turner sent at the time a large box of the ore as blasted down. which came under my hand on Aug. IS. He also says: Ore assays s10s.00 per ton. l have sampled the ore received very conservatively, and my assay gave 32.2 per cent of copper or GA pounds 10 the ton which al 12 cents is nearly s76.50. s10s.o0 per ton corresponds to 42 per cent copper and I imagine this refers to the streak of foot very high grade ore, in order 10 give the above measurements. MT. Turner had taken out about .07 tons of ore of a value of sS000, in round numbers. On August IS, Mir. Turner wires: Iron and calsite continues. also caves, not so much ore in bottom.
 This means that the flat lens of ore was contracting at the time as they usually do; but that the iron ore cal cite is most excellent leader as l de- clared on July 14 on the spot, where this occurrence is only a few inches , thick, at the surface of the rock. , The mining nature of the ore is the same as in the Queen and the Calumet and Arizona, copper glance, red OK ide Of copper, green carbonate of cop per mixed with brown hematite and calcspar. It carries olly two per cent of silica and Il per cent of lime and ! is excellent for smelting. There is , nearly a vertical seam of hard man. ganeses ore, setting right across the
 ridges, in the immediate neighbor. hood of the copper lens. The man. ganese ore carries A per cent of me. tailic manganese, and will later on
 prove of value, when freight rates to the east can be properly adjusted
 But this body of manganese bears a
 more important import. Its presence
 means that extrusive and long continu i ed chemical action has taken place in
 accordance secondary and tertiary con centrations Of copper made
 The mining development, since my visit, has proceeded quite according tc my expectation. The outlook is de
 cidedly full of promise.

 work has to be done by hand and car advance only slowly

OLD DOMINION PLANT.
Now Expected That New Reduction Works Will Ccst Less Than S1,- ooc, ,oooNSmelter About Fin ished.

Up to July l the Old Dominion com pany had spent s70s. 1905 upon it's plant at Globe. and while the new plant is generally spoken of as a S1,O0O,O0 plant, the management hopes to be able to complete its new work within s9oe.000 and to be able to do this with out borrowing any additional money. The management is charging all new underground work. including the sink ing of the new shaft, against the cost of it's copper-a matter of between s6,- 900 and $10.0o0 a month.
 Of the s7Os,305 which has been ex. pended upon the new plant s2G5 coo represents borrowed money, s200,000 was derived from the sale of matte and the balance from the net earnings the Old Dominion company had earn ed about s200.000 in the first six months of the year. These net earn ings have all been derived from ore which has come out of the property and not through the treatment of slag or flue dust. as has been reported.
 The converter plant will not be com. pleted until late in the fall and it is the hope of the management that Dy the time it is called upon to meet ths balance of the construction payments, its new shelter will be in operation and the company in a position to show sufficient net earnings to provide fer construction expenses without borrow ing any more money.
 The new Dominion smelter is ex. pected to be in operation by the 18th of September. In the meantime the old plant which has been givins such a good account of itself, has been prac- tically shut down, due to old age. One of the furnaces exploded last week, damaging the old plant, and 1t IS the understanding in the Boston office that it has been shut pown in consequence in which case the August output of the company will be very small, possibly less than 750.000 pounds.
 The management has been working large force of men during the past ten days raging the old smelte. a,d hc-rying the new plant toward cfm- pletion. Nothing remains in place at the old smelter except the brick work Of the two furnaces The two Sterl- ing boilers have been placed on trucks and temporary track has been laid, ever which are to be removed, . to be installed elsewhere.
 There is considerable track 10 te laid about the shelter. Grading is under way south of the new smelier building for the main track running parallel with the present track, which [ is to be used as a switch to the old coke bins and ore bins. The new ore bins are finished and also the trestle connecting them with the feed floor
 of the smelter building.
 | The recent heavy rains have inter
 fered only slightly with the surface
 work. The most serious result wa: the caving from the surface of the old
 mine workings near the big open cut
 east of the old shaft The bottom o
 the gulch fell out and considerable
