ST. Petersburg, March 29.-The As
sociatedsPress is in position to an
nounce that step in the di,.ction Of
peace has actually been taken. !, Russia
has directly made known to Japan the
negative conditions upon which peace
may be concluded, namely, no cession
Of territory and no indemnity, leaving
Japan to determine whether nesotia-
tions can be begun upon that basis.
No reply from Japan has yet reached
the Russian government.
The above represents practically all
the facts obtainabIe.. Thru what chan.
mol or channels Russia has indirectly
communicated with Japan the Asso-
ciated Press is not in position to
state definitely. Aitho there is rea-
son to believe it is thru the United
States, IL is practically certain France
and possibly Great Britain, as the two
allies Of the belligerents and the uni-
ted States as the country acting for
Japan, has been apprised Of Russia's
position. Last nights rumor that
Roosevelt had rendered his good Offices
to both parties are incorrect. The
presidents friendly disposition and
perfect willingness to undertake open
negotiations, howevsr, is well UNDER
stood here and without asking directly,
that they be communicated to Japan,
Russia could make known to Roosevelt
thru Ambassador cassina conditions
to which she could not agree, while
thus giving Japan an opportunity OF
knowing officially what the basis of
peace negotiations must be.

Strike in the Old Hundred.

A good strike has been made in the
Old Hundred property, located on Ga
lena mountain, about five miles north
of Silverton. near the line of the Sill
verton & Northern railroad. The first
strike was made in tunnel No. / on
what Is known as No. vein. At ver-
tical depth of 529 feet fine body of
milling ore was encountered, the vein
measuring fully twenty feet in width.
Tunnel No. Z, at a distance of 402
feet from the portal and at depth of
1926 feet, has reached No. vein.
which at the point of intersection
measures eighteen feet. The ore in
both strikes resembles that which has
been mined from the upper workings
of the group and consists of fine
white quartz, carrying its principal val
ues in gold, and being of an excellent
free milling character.
For years the Old Hundred group
was owned and worked by the Nei-
gold brothers of Silverton, and even
their operations, which were carried
on in small way, netted them small
fortune from surface workings. Late
last season Eastern capitalists. princi-
pally of Cleveland, Ohio and New
York City, purchased controlling in
terest. Work was begun on an exten-
sive scale and the new company has
expended several hundred thousand
dollars on development work in the
installation of machinery and appli
ances for mining men in up-to-date
manner.

NEWS FROM THE MINES and MILLS
Wyoming Tin Discoveries.

An enormous deposit of cassiterite,
or tin, ore has been found and partly
exploited in territory tributary to Den
yer, says the Denver Post. Out of it
may be developed the establishment of
the largest tin plate industry in the
United States in this city.
DR.. Franklin r. Carpenter has just
returned from long and exhaustive
investigation of the deposit and of the
means that will be employed for min
ing and concentrating the ore, bring
ing with him also the official reports of
two great engineers, one English and
the other French, of worldwide repu-
tation, who have examined it. DR.. Car
penter, at his office in the Equitable
building this morning, declined to de-
fine the locality Of the deposit, further
than to say it is on the border of Da-
kota and Wyoming and can be made
directly tributary to this city via the
Burlington railway, whose officials,
comprehending the Importance of the
enterprise, will aid it to the utmost
of their ability.
The veins, of which there are num-
ber, vary from fifty to two hundred
and fifty feet in width. One of them
shows pay ore $50 feet in width.
One of the experts mentioned says
in his report: 1.-The proposition is one
of unusual merit. With an ore so
readily reduced and the favorable To-
cal conditions 1 have observed, it
seems to me that with conservative
management the property can be
made unusually profitable"
<,f h.,
distance of 500 feet" said Dr. Carpen-
ter, "and at the point of the principal
workings is more than 100 feet in
width, and being in the nature of an
intrusive dyke, there is no reason to
fear that it will not extend downward
indefinitely. These dimensions carried
to depth of 1000 feet will furnish
256 100000 tons of rock, which If only
a little more than half can be removed
will yield 5000 tons per day for 100
years"
AS to the value of the cassiterite
ore in the veins, DR.. Carpenter states
that it will run from fraction of one
per cent. to seven per cent. tin. Actual
milling tests of 100 tons at a time have
been made, showing yield of fifteen
pounds of tin to the ton.
A number of carloads of the concen-
trates have been shipped to Swansea,
Wales, and treated there, yielding be-
tween sixty and seventy per cent. tin.
The ore must be concentrated on the
ground. The next step is to build tin
plate works in Denver and bring the
product here for manufacture. With
this mine in highly productive condi-
ton, supplemented by mill, there is
no reason why Denver should not be-
come the greatest center of tin plate
manufacture in the United States, if
not in the world.

Great Arizona Smelter.

The great Copper Queen smelter at
Douglas, Arizona, is being added to
continually, to provide smelling ca
pacity for the enormous shipments of
copper ores that come to 1t daily. A
sixth great furnace has been blown in
and seventh is ready. Already COP
per production from the works has
reached 9,500,000 pounds month. The
smelter buildings have been doubled
in size and work has been begun on an
addition that will give the power house
room for the housing Of a half dozen
more powerful engines. The battery
of oil-burning boilers is the largest in
the Southwest. The Calumet and
Arizona reduction works at Douglas
also are being doubled in size, the i'm
provements made already this year
costing about $3OO,000 A 200-foot steel
smokestack is one of the improve
ments now nearly complete. Two
electric cranes are to be added to the
equipment, as well as a new boiler
house, containing seven new boilers. A
fourth large furnace is being added to
the smelling plant. The monthly bull
lion production of the works is about
100000 pounds.

R0CKEFELLER'S MONEY
MISSION BOARD MAKES REPLY
Answer to Letter of Protesting Minis.
ters-Resret Harsh Tone Of criti-
cisms-Do not Palliate Wronu,

New Haven, Conn.,, May 17.-In q
letter acknowledging the receipt from
the committee of protesting ministers
OF documents bearing on the recent ac-
ceptance of the Rockefeller donation
to the American Board of Commission
ers OF Foreign Missions, the pastors of
congregational churches in New Ha-
ven, with the exception of Rev. A. j..
Haynes of the United Church, have
jointly given expression to their views
in the matter.
The pastors in their letter say that
while reluctant to express their views,
some extraordinary statements of the
protestants call for an aswer. They
deplore any unnecessary and harsh
criticisms of missionary societies.
The letter says: I'VE notice with
regret the following words: The
courts can be bought, the legislatures
can be bought. the churches can be
bought, but the American people
cannot be bought Such unqualified
words under other circumstances
might be passed by without serious no.
tice, but when addressed by a num-
ber OF Congregational ministers to
their brethren. they cannot be left un-
challenged. This statement, so sweep
ing in its condemnation of legislatures,
SO calumnious of the judiciary, so un-
just to our churches, we would repu-
diate as untrue in fact and socially de-
structive in it's effect.
I'VE desire also expressly to dis
avow the assumption that by the ac-
ceptance of such donations, or by the
use of any mans gift of that which is
lawfully his own. the trustees of a
charity enter into an alliance with
him in his business. become 'yoke-fel-
lows with him in wrong practices. or
in any way compromise themselves
with questionable methods of corpora
tions.
I'VE wish decisively to deny your as
sumptions that, while sustaining the
actions of the American board. we are
not free as We have always been in
our pulpits to rebuke any wrongs that
may be exposed in our economic sys-
TEN.
I'VE in turn must protest when you
insist that because of our customs or
principles concerning charitable con-
tributions. we are not in sympathy
with the working people. and that our
ministry has become the silenced wit
ness of any threatening social injus-
tice. You have no reasonable or moral
right to SO judge u.s."

Tunnel Cuts Santiago Vein.

The Wilcox tunnel. being driven by
the Waldorf company, has cut the
Commonwealth vein, better known as
the Santiago, says the Georgetown cor
respondent of the Denver Republican
under date of May 18th. Two feet of
gold-copper ore was exposed, but no
attempt has been made to extract any
tonnage. 1t has been decided by the
management to run drift to the righ:
for a distance of seventy-five feet as
soon as the new compressor has been
installed. This work will be accom-
plished in from ten to fifteen days.
At the point where the Santiago will
be intersected by the drift it is ex.
pected that the Paymaster and Com
monwealth veins will form junction,
thus insuring the opening of an un-
usually rich ore shoot. The ore from
the strike just made gives better val
ues than 800 to the ton, principally in
gold and copper. The tunnel, accord
ing to measurements made a few
days ago, is in exactly $500 feet, and
work has been suspended on the head
ing until the drift has reached the OBJ.
jective point.
The Tobin tunnel, also being driven
by the Waldorf company, is in approx
imately 1900 feet, and by driving an
additional distance of 400 feet, the
heading will cut the ninth level of the
Stevens property, which has been a
constant producer for the last twenty
years. 1t is reported by those familiar
with the workings that this property
has more ore reserves than any other
in this section of the state.

WORLD MAY COMPETE.
Canal Commission Will Buy Ships In
Open Market.

Washington, May 1.-THE executive
committee of the Isthmian Canal Com
mission has decided to purchase in
the markets of the world the material
and ships necessary for the building
of the Panama canal.
This important decision was reached
with some reluctance, because II was
appreciated by Secretary Taft and the
executive committee that there would
surely be great outcry from two
great interests in this country, the
producers of material and the ship
owners, If the purchases were not linn
tied to the American products. But 1t
was decided that the money consid-
GRAFTON was SO great that it could not
be ignored, for 1t was held that in
some cases fully fifty per cent. more
would be charged for material needed
in canal construction than the same
goods could be produced for in Europe.
Chief Engineer Wallace. for in
stance, showed that two ships in addi-
tion to the ones running between New
York and Colon and owned by the
Panama railroad. were absolutely nee
essary to carry the food supply and
material needed for the work. No
American ship could be bought at any
reasonable price, and when 1t came to
building such ships 1t was found, ac-
cording to Secretary Taft's statement.
that while he can buy two 2,60O-ton
ships in Europe for $750,O0O, 1t would
cost $1,40O,O00 to build such ships
here. And, in addition. while the Eu-
ropean ship could be had at once, it
would take at least eighteen months
to secure American boats.
AS to material needed for canal con-
struction, the committee decided that
by reserving to itself the right to pur-
chase in the worlds markets, it would
at least oblige American manufacture
ers to give them the benefit OF their
foreign prices If they wish to sell
goods to the committee.
Secretary Taft explained that he
felt obliged to endorse this decision
because, having given Congress every
opportunity to give contrary decision.
he felt that the very terms of the ca
nal act provided that 1t should be con-
structed at the lowest possible cost.
