The Ekberg and Ahlander Bros. are

Robt. F. Bagby's notice of applica-
ton for a patent for the Lille Bell

The party who started to work on
the Comstcck mine has been delayed

Henry Thomas reports that he has

on the Ruby lode for Rivers & Cor

as the drift did not follow the rich
ore streak.
One of the most important enter
prises now under way in this section
is the Small Hopes tunnel which is be-
ing run by the Empire Gold Mines Co.
This company was organized last
spring. and consists of New York and
Colorado capitalists, the main Office
being in jamestown, n. Y. The officers
are o. Stransberg. president; w. r.
Price. vice president and manager:
Enoch Ohnstrand, treasurer, and Chas.
Linbeck, secretary. The company -
cured a long bond and lease on what
are known as the Pret properties.
which include about thirty patented
claims. the principal one so far being
lne Small Hopes mine. which has pro-
duced about $4,000 from shafts and
drifts with very little stopping. Among
the improvements started by the for
mer owners was tunnel which was
Small Hopes vein at depth of about
800 feet. AS soon as the new company
took hold they put in a compressor
and machine drills and commenced to
extend this tunnel The tunnel was in
$50 feet when air was installed. and
they have run 450 feet since and have
about 900 feet yet to drive to reach
the Small Hopes. although there are
six or seven very promising veins to be
cut before this one is reached. The
rock is very hard and about thirty
feet per week is about the limit for
two shifts. so that it is likely to be
very near next July before the tunnel
reaches the objective point The ma
chinery is set below the main road
and the coal chutes run directly to the
boiler room. The air pipe extends
about 1000 feet up the mountain to
the workings. The company is now
putting in coal to last all winter,
enough to last until July, as some
years wagons cannot reach that point
before late date The company has
a finely arranged boarding house and
a first class assay office near the com
pressor plant Nine men and two
ladies are employed besides the
treighters.

TAGGART Is OUTVOTED
D1ssENs1oN AMONG DEMOCRATS
OVER pARKER's TAKING STUMP.
Taggart's Suggestion overruled by
Belmont and Sheehan - Regarded
Undignifed by New Yorkers.
Special From stan Correspondent.

Special From a STAFF Correspondent.
NEW YORK. October 19.-There is bitter
dissension among the democratic national
managers over the question whether Judge
Parker shall take the stump or not. Chair
man Taggart, a practical politician, urges
him to go out and meet the people in New
York. Indiana and West Virginia.
August Belmont. and William F. Sheehan,
backed by some of thu southerners, argue
against 1t.
1T would not be digHified," says Sheehan,
"for him to go on the stump. We want him
to present contrast te the strenuous lite"
Taggart Calls It Rot.
"Oh, rot.'' replies Tazgart. What the
hades do the voters care about dignity.
They want to see the man. Cleveland made
speeches in his first campaign, and 1 want
Judge Parker to get cut among the boys"
Thereupon the southern aids-de-camp
come back at Mr.. Taggart with the asser-
ton that Taggart is nothing but vulgar
vote-getter. and that heshas no ideas about
the higher ethics of Craftsmanship and
politics. Up to date Taggart has been out
voted. - &;s-
For ten days Chairman Taggart has been
refusing to go to Indiana He said he
would not go unless they gave him money,
and the understanding Is that he demanded
$50. .O0O.
1t is said today that he has wrung the
money from the managers and is going to
Indiana. N. o. NJ.

Commissioner General Sargent of the bu-

ton today from a tour of inspection of the
stations of the immigration service on the
gulf, the borders OF Mexico and Canada
and the Pacific coast His trip has covered
about six weeks, during which time he Wis
tied every important point in the territory
named and looked into matters at each
with view to the general Improvement OF
the service.
Particular attention is being paid by the
burea of immigration TO the introduction,
in violation Of the exclusion act. OF Chinese
laborers, and the Canadian border line has
received more than eursory inspection
1t is the opinion Of MOST of the officials Of
the service that Chinese cannot be entirely
prevented from entering the United States
as long as there is the slightest loophole
for their entrance, and as Canada seems TO
offer this opportunity the authorities OF the
service are constantly satsWGrk to devise
new plans to thwart thee enterprfsing I'M

of the Suez canal and the remainder round

formerly of the battle ship Petropaviovsk.
