GREEN CORN DANCE OVER.
Indians Wind Up Festivities in Okla
homa.

nonna.
Lawton, Okla, Sept. 18.-At sunrise
Sunday the Apache Indians closed
their green corn dance" at Hyles
Hole, nine miles north of Lawton, on
the Sill reservation. The dance proper,
with old Geronimo leading, closed at 2
o'clock, when all visiting white people,
who numbered nearly 1000, were told
that the dance was over and departed.
After this came the lovers dance. In
this only the young squaws and bucks
took part, the squaws being allowed to
choose their partners for the dance.
During this dance is the only time that
the young buck is allowed to spoon
with his sweetheart. All other times
he must content himself by talking to
her father.
Early in the evening they held a
healing dance, in which an old squaw
was almost instantly cured of some at
Fiction that she had. These dances
were engaged in by $50 Indians.

after FISHING TUGS|
CANADIAN BOAT SENDS A few
SHOTS AFTER YANKEES.
The Fourth Incident Of Poaehing on
Lake Erie During the Past Week.
Over the Line When Canadian Boat
Appeared, but Made Its Escape.

Erie, Pa, Sept. 1S.-The fourth Of
the fish tug incidents of the past week
took place in the middle of Lake Erie
Sunday, when the Canadian cruiser
Vigilant riddled the big steamer tug
Harry G. Barnhurst with small shot
from the rifle on the patrol boat. Cap
tain Nick Easel of the tug admitted,
after he escaped, that the Vigilant
could have sent her to the bottom If
Captain Dunno had so desired. They
ran more than eight miles under full
head of steam before they crossed the
boundary line and escaped from the
Canadians.
More than 80 shots struck the YES
sci and of these Is of the small shells
landed with telling effect on the upper
parts; the boat careened to one side
with the mass of wreckage when she
came into port. Having been used
formerly for a pleasure steamer, the
Barnhurst is of large size and well
fitted with steam equipment. The fire.
man, Magnus johnson, tainted in the
hold from overexertion in keeping the
steam going ahead. He was reported
killed, but survived after reaching
shore. Two of the fishermen were cut
in the face by splinters shot away by
the bullets.
The Barnhurst, according to Captain
Easel, was about five miles over the
line, drawing nets, when the Vigilance
appeared. The other Lake Erie tugs,
the Alma, Valiant and the Boyd, were
closer to the line and ran away when
the chase started. Captain Dunno or
dered the Barnhurst to stop, but in
stead of doing so, Captain Easel put
on full steam and started for the line
He took a southwesterly direction and
could not be headed by the Vigilant.
After the first two rounds from the
Vigilant the Americans say they heard
shouts of kill them" sink the Yam
KEGS" coming from the Canadian
cruiser. Captain Easel says he was
aware he was close to the line, but
claims he could not have been more
than four or five miles in Canadian wa
tiers when the cruiser Vigilant sudden
ly appeared.
| This makes the fourth American
vessel fired, upon within week by the
Vigilant.
All the vessels had been poaching
according to the claims Of the Cana
dams, and had been caught hauling
in fish.

MINING NOTES.

Nanaimo, B. CATER a struggle of
nearly five months, which has brought
the business houses of Nanaimo to a
state of bankruptcy, the end of the
coal miners strike is now believed to
be in sight.
Reports from the Occur dAlenes in
dictate that the Chesapeake G Tama-
rack mine is working in body of es-
pecially rich ore.
Announcement is made that the
American Shelters Securities COM
pany has purchased a controlling in
terest in the Federal Mining & Smelt-
ing company, through the acquisition
of approximately 100000 of the out
standing common stock. AS the Amer
lean Smelling & Refining company
controls the American Shelters Secu-
rites company, the former company
is the real owner of the Federal. The
American Shelters Securities COM
pany has also acquired nearly all the
capital stock of the Dairy Farm mine
Of California, a valuable copper prop
erty. The American Shelters Securi.
ties company will receive from its
Federal mining investment about
100000 annually, but under the sys-
tenn of smelter improvement and ex.
tension planned the income will soon
greatly exceed this, while it will virtu-
ally control the smelling business.
The Federal Mining & Smelling
company was organized by Charles
Sweeny, with an issued capital Of
$40 100000 common and $5,0OO,OOO pre-
ferred stock. 1t was a combination of
the silver-lead mines of the Occur
d'Alenes, and John d. Rockefeller. Jr
was one of the directors. Mr.. Sweeny
was heavy stakeholder and president
of the company. He recently disposed
Of his interests for about 100000 to
the American Shelters Securities COM
pany.
The Idaho Giant, situated two miles
south of Mullan, Idaho, is making an
exceptionally good showing.
A solid block of ore, valued at $45
per ton and weighing over three tons,
is among the ore samples on the dump
at the Mckinley mine, near Grand
Forks, B. G.
Discovery of gold bearing ledge is
reported from the Bald Mountain dis.
trict of eastern Oregon. That 1t assays
$4,000 to the ton is the smallest esti.
mate, while some are of the opinion
that $4,000 is not too high. The new
find is an extension of the group in
which such rich strike was made a
few days ago by Messrs. Besslers and
Dunno, and known as the Gold Nugget
group.
Production of the mines of Boun-
Diary for last week was 1899 tons;
total for year, 619,172 tons. Boundary
smelters last week treated as follows:
CRANKY smelter, 1885 tons; B. c.
Copper smelter, 1928; total treatment
for week, 1918 tons. Total for year
to date, 636,1S4 tons.

Heavy Rains in Kansas.

Kansas City.-Soaking rains have
fallen in western Missouri and Kan.
sas. The food coming on top of al
most continuous heavy rains during
the past ten days, all streams are up
and more or less damage has been
done. Low lying portions of Argen-
tine and Armourdale districts of Kan
sas City, Kan, occupied principally by
packing houses and railway employees,
have been flooded. This has been caus-
ed principally by backwater from de-
fective sewers, and no serious dam
age is likely to follow. Although the
Kaw river at this point has risen rap
idly and continues to come up, it must
rise 10 feet yet before it becomes
really threatening. The Chicago, Rock
Island G Pacific pile bridge across
the Kaw river near Kansas avenue, in
was carried out and the
Kansas City Southern pile bridge was
threatened.

JAPAN EXPLAINS RIOTS.
Provoked by Police Who sought to
Prevent MEETING.

TISVeHt WccesU8s
An official report concerning the re-
cent antitreaty riots in Toxic has been
received by the Japanese legation at
Washington, D. c. Mr.. Hiogi, charge
d'affaires, says:
1.-The Japanese do not attempt to
minimize the importance Of affairs as
they existed.
1.-THE immediate provocation of the
riotous outbreak was the action of the
police, who sought to prevent a polit-
ical mass meeting, and not the slight
est feeling of hostility against for
eigners in general, and Americans in
particular, entered into the spirit of
the mob. OF course, there are many
Japanese who are disappointed at the
terms of the peace treaty, and it is
natural that they should express their
disappointment, but the majority of
the thinking classes of my country
deprecate the riotous action and re-
greet the injurious impression created
by these disturbances, which appar.
emily led some people to regard them
as an indication of feeling of hos
tility OH the part Of the Japanese to
ward the United States. l am author
lied to say that Notwithstanding what
differences of opinion may exist in
Japan over the terms of peace, there
is strong, united and friendly feel
ing toward the UnIled States, and
deep appreciation of the earnest, i'm
partial and sincere good will which
has attended the efforts of President

PORTLAND TO GUADALAJARA.
Southern Pacific to Have Seaboard
Line 800 Miles Long.

News has been received in Chi
hauahua, Mexico, from Guaymas to
the effect that good progress is being
made on the surveys Of the Southern
Pacific's line between that place and
Guadalajara, and that contracts are
being let and actual construction work
will be started in a short time. Pre-
liminary surveys have already been
run. The line from Guaymas will be
about 1900 kilometers in length and
will be one of the most important in
Mexico.
When the road is completed it will
give the Southern Pacific one Of the
longest sea board lines in the world,
extending, as it will, from Portland,
Ore, to Guadalajara, distance of
about 300 miles, which is practically
a seaboard line for the entire distance.

NO WAR is LIKELY.
Delegates Of Norway and Sweden Are
About to Reach Agreement.

Karlstad, Sept. 18.-The first off,
cial communication indicating that the
delegates of Norway and Sweden were
approaching an understanding in their
effort to establish modus vivendi for
the countries as separate governments
was given out tonight at the close Of
the joint session of the delegates. The
announcement reads:
"The probabilities are that in the
near future negotiations can be
brought to definite result"
This somewhat cryptic announce
ment is accepted assndicating that the
negotiations have reached a stage
where an agreement is in sight, and
a resort to arms, which might have
involved either power, may safely be
considered to be out Of the question.

The announcement has been calmly

extended over the period of years

cause feeling of distrust and uneasi-

and furnish weapon to the political
