MINING NOTES.

The men of the Crows Nest Pass
coal mines have been called out by
President Sherman of the United Mine
Workers of America.
Powerful speeches in favor Of the
establishment of a department of
mines and mining were advanced be-
fore the Transmississippi Commercial
congress at a recent meeting at Port
land.
Commencing next week the old Unit
ed States marble quarries in Stevens
county, Wash, win pass into the pos
session of the Verd Antique company
and open a new chapter.
Owing to the closedown at the Gran
by smelter to connect up new furnaces
the Boundary ore shipments were
smaller last week than for many
months.
1t is reported at Wallace, Idaho, that
Yarbrough & Boyle, who are working
the New Jersey group, north of the
Hercules, have recently uncovered six
feet of low grade carbonates in the
tunnel. The ore was disclosed about
325 feet from the portal of the tunnel
at a depth of $50 feet. c. B. Johnson,
who has been working on the Napo-
leon group, north of the New Jersey,
reports uncovering IL foot ledge. 1t
has not yet been explored.
Eric Stevenson, leaser of the Crown
Point mine, at Rossland, B. c., has let
a contract to w. F. Lingle to haul 5000
tons of ore from the mine three quar-
ters of mile to the Columbia &
Western railway. Mr.. Stevenson's
lease runs for one year, and he is re-
stricted to the extraction of 5000 tons.
It is said there is $4,000 tons of ore
in sight in the old workings.
Directors of the Tamarack & Ches-
apeake Mining company. owning prop
erty between the Custer and Hercules
mines in the Occur d'Alenes, decided
at a recent meeting to commence ship
ping ore from the mine at once. An
arrangement for the treatment Of the
product has been concluded with the
Salt Lake smelter and the first con.
signment of ore will be forwarded in
few days.
e. B. Braden, formerly representa-.
tive of the American Smelling & Re
fining company at Spokane, has been
promoted to be one of the three west
ern committeeman representing the
American Smelling Securities com
pany. That is the branch of the smelt
ing trust on the Pacific coast. He will
join his family at Helena and they
will go to San Francisco to make their
home.

c. N. KNIFEs GRAIN RATES.
Sweeping Cuts Made in District East
of Montana.

of Montana.
Just as the movement of the grain
crop is about to begin the Great Nor
thern railroad has announced a sweep
ing reduction in grain rates through
out its eastern territory, extending TO
the boundary of Montana. Three years
ago the road made important reduc-
tons in the western section. The new
rates, it is claimed, will add millions
to the potential resources of the far
mers of the northwest.
The reduction is not made, it is
claimed, in pursuance of any pressure,
but as a voluntary act and in the
words of an official, "a profit sharing
policy of the road between the rail-
road and the tillers of the soil of the
northwest mat has been fundamental
in the management of the Great Nor
thern.'
This reduction of rates ranges from
cents per 100 pounds from the most
distant points to a half cent from
points nearer the Twin Cities and the
head of navigation on the great lakes.
From Williston, N. D., distant from
the head of navigation GIG miles, the
reduction is cents per 100 pounds.
THE meaning of these reductions
to farmers of the northwest is some
thing more than the winning of bat
tie or the signing of some advantage
GUS commercial treaty" said promi
nent railroad official. 1T affects the
entire grain product of the northwest
for the same rates have been met by
the Northern Pacific and must be met
by every other line doing business in
the same territory and tributary tc
it. You can not tell how far move
ment like this will reach. 1t will mean
saving of more than 200,000,000 bush
els to the ordinary market This foots
up 100000 to 100000 that will
remain in the pockets of the farmers
of which the Great Northern will con
tribute at least one half.
This movement is not only volun
tary but the revenue thus RENTED
can not be made good from any Other
source. There can be and is intended
| to be no increase or rates ELSEWHERE
to correspond. Moreover, it is made
in the face of the fact that in the
three years that nave elapsed since
the last reduction of rates was made
the pay of employees in the various de
partments of the system has been ma
terially advanced, adding that mucl
to the cost of operation"
These rates are made in competition
with the 500 Line and Canadian Pa
cific, and astound the officials of thes,
roads, who are at loss to understand
its meaning. Railroad men say tina
President Hill has determined to maxi
war on the 500 and his old time bust
ness enemy, Tom Lowry, president o
the road.

Dynamite at Saratoga.

Saratoga, N. 1.-TWO loud explo-
sions in quick succession in different
sections of Saratoga startled visitors
and set afoot stories about dynamite
plots. While very little actual dam
age was done, there can be no doubt
that some violent explosive was used.
The question is whether it was the
work of a practical joker or of some
person intending mischief, who failed
to carry out his plans.

nor of Kiao Chan and the Chinese gov ernor of the Province of Shantung un- der which Kiao Chan was to be Avao',- ated in January and Kaomi six months after the signature of the agreement is a mixture of truth and error.
 The facts are that Emperor William at the time when he proposed to the empress regent of China the withdraw al of the foreign troops from the pro- vince of Chili except the legation guards also proposed on his own inita- tive to evacuate Kaomi and the town of kiao Chan, the latter being in the interior and both outside of Germany's sphere under the lease contract. They were temporarily occupied at the time of the boxer movement as a precau- tlonary measure and their occupation was never meant to be permanent. The emperor's proposal was communicated to the Chinese government through the German minister, Dr. Baron Nun Won SchwartZenstein sometime before Baron komura's arrival in Pekin as special envoy of Japan.
 The measure is in no sense due to Japanese pressure. Moreover a ques- tion of the withdrawal of the German forces from the Kiao Claw territory does not exist. The treaty by which Germany leased the Kiao Chan district remains in force and unimpaired.

St. Petersburg, Nov. 13.-The League condemning the proclamation of mar tial law in Poland as an illegal mea- sure directed against the Polish eman- cipation movement.
 The Ruskoye Slovo prints a dispatch from Warsaw describing a conversa- ton which Governor General Scalon had with a deputation of prominent Poles during which he distinctly an nounced that he would not allow the organization of a municipal militia. Moreover he added, he would neither remove the troops from the city nor from the streets, and he warned the deputation that he was prepared to deal with the situation should the agi- tation be communicated to the masses.
 In addition to increasing the pay of the rank and file of the army, the war department has decided to reduce the terms of service by one year. The pres ent pay of the infantry is eleven cents per month and the cavalry fourteen cents per month.

McManus and A. l.. Bentley, or either of them, or both, ever made or accepted any negotiable 1 instrument sued upon in this case at l the instance and request. of the de- ! fendant in pursuance of any unlawful conspiracy.
 The defendant says that he never at any time procured from the Enterprise ! National bank any money upon any
 written instrument sued upon in this case, or in any other way, in pursuance or as the result. because of any unlaw- full or fraudulent arrangement of con- ] spiracy with the officers of the bank
 or any of them, or with any other per- son and he ayers that all transactions
 with the bank, including those sued
 upon, were regular, legitimate, and
 done in the due course of business and | in accordance with correct banking us- age and practice.

 sureties on some of the bonds given by the Enterprise National bank direct
 ors to secure state deposits, obtained a rule in common pleas court, number today requiring the commonwealth of Pennsylvania to show cause why the 1 judgment entered against Arnold should not be opened and he be let into | the defense. lArnold's petition disclos- i ed the fact that he has not been con- nected with the bank for four years.

NEW DEMAND
 FOR REVIEW
Of the Work of Territorial
 Equalization Board
Writs of Certiorari Sworn out by the Phelps Dodge a Co. in Cases of Raised Gila County Mines.

on behalf of PEelps, Dodge and com pany application was filed in the of- ice or the supreme court yesterday for wrlts or certiorari in the matter of the raising of the assessments of the mines or the Old Dominion, The United Globe and the Arizona Commercial Copper company. The wits which had been ordered by Associate Justice campbell were issued and directed against the territorial board of equal zatlon. Service was made by Deputy U. :. Marshal Walter Gregory on the secretary of the board in the absence or Chairman Hill who is in the north ern part of the territory.
 This proceeding is similar to that in- stituted by the Copper Queen Consoli- dated Mining company against tho board about the middle of last Sep- tember and seeks by another path the object sought by the territory in its mandamus suits brought against the boards of supervisors of the counties Of Mohave, Yavapai. Graham and san ta Cruz-to determine whether the ter rltorial board had power to make the raises complained of by the mining companies.
 The mandamus suits bring the boards of the four counties before thc supreme court where the power of the territorial board will be determined The writs of certiorari brings into re- view the act of the territorial board in making the raises.
 The application is made by Col Wn. Herring, counsel for Phelps. Dodge and company. The proceedings Of the ter rltor1al board are recited and it is all legged that they were without authority ana therefore are null and void: that the board had no power to review th,. work of the assessor of GiIa county i'm assessing the mines of the applicants and the subsequent work of the county board in passing upon the assessment
