The Gar Is Hurrying Back to St
Petersburg.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 3.-The
emperor. who was reported to be at
Ninsk. is now on his way to st. Pet
ersburg. where he will have immediate
consultation with his advisers regard
ing the situation in the far east. In
official circles all the talk of the pos
sibility of peace tsuch time meets
with nothing but expressions of in
dignation. The public is stunned by
the announcement of the fall of Port
Arthur, which the government author
lied this morning. 1t is expected the
announcement will be followed by
big demonstration on the part OF the
revolutionary element wno Will spare

THE COLORADO LEGISLATURE is

The Supreme Courts Opening of
Denver Ballot Boxes Won't
Change Result.

DENVER, Jan. 3.-The republican
leaders in the legislature declare that
one of the first things they will do
will be to unseat two democrats SEN
ators, Born and Healy, who two years
ago were given seats of two repub-
licans. Dicks and Mcdonald. Four
other democratic senators may share
the same fate. The holding Of returns
in Denver indefinitely, as now is like
ly to happen, means that Peabody will
remain in the executive chair.

Alvah Adams, stated to the supreme

Are Afflicted With Strange Disease

LYNCHBURG, Va, Jan. 3.-Atten-
ton has been called to the condition of
the family of Mr.. and Mrs. Mitchell,
who live in Bedford county. They
have five children who are afflicted
with a congenital disease known as
Friedrich's ataxia. Their ages range
from to 19 years. They are all alb
solutely helpless, cannot walk or even
speak intelligently. They have no use
of their hands, and have to be fed like
animals. There is always the danger
of their falling into the fire; for they
can neither sit up nor stand steadily
for more than moment at time.
The doctors of the Johns Hopkins
hospital in Baltimore say that there
is absolutely nothing that can be done
for them.

Platt's Co. May Lose the Business.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Jan. 3.-Senator
Platt's bonding company. which has
had the field to itself in the matter of
bonding federal employees, is threat
ened with the loss of it's monopoly by
a reform contemplated by Postmaster
General Wynne in the removal of all
postal bonds on Jan. 4. If the reform
is ordered, postoffice clerks and car
riers will be bonded directly to the
postmaster, instead of to the postmas-
ter general, and clerks and carriers
will be allowed to take out their bonds
in any company they may select.
Complaints of excessive rates
charged by the Platt company have
been made by the postoffice clerks.
The profits of the Platt company from
this source alone have been placed
at $4,000 year.
The new order will affect not only
the postoffice employees in this city,
but postal officials throughout the
country.

SAVES EVEN THE BY PRODUCTS
Great Things Expected Of New Ore
Reducing Process.

DEADWOOD, S. D., Jan. 3.-Dr j.
A. Ogden, chemist, is building an
ore reduction mill in the lower part of
town which is destined to do wonders
in the cheap handling of low-grade
ores. For several years he has been
working on patents covering his dis
coveries and inventions and is getting
a 112-ton mill ready to treat ores by
his new process. The ordinary cya-
nide process does not secure all of the
gold and silver in the ore there being
a loss in most mills of 20 per cent. Dr.
Ogden says he will not only save all
the gold and silver in the ore, but
copper zinc and nickel. In several in
stances here in the Hills, also at Vic
tor, Col, and at a mine in British Co
lumbia, his tests have saved enough
of the by products to pay for the en-
tire cost of mining and milling the
ore, leaving the gold and silver profit
The mechanical part of the mill is
simple. The ore is crushed very fine
and is kept automatically in constant
motion. The finer the ore is crushed
the easier it is handled. In the orii-
nary cyanide process the fine ore
forms shines which are hard to
handle. ...
Over twenty-five years ago, DR.. Og-
den began experimenting to find a So
luton of chemicals that would take
out the values in gold, silver and
other metals. He lived at Philadelphia
and came to Deadwood six years ago
to be nearer the mines. He has had
hundreds of samples of ore sent him
from all over the world. Some of the
most difficult ores of Australia, others
from Mexico, nave yielded up prac-
tically all of their values by the Og
den process. All of his extractions are
made by a combination of chemicals
time required for reducing the hard
est kind of ore is from three to six
hours. No zinc is used in the precipi-
tation of values, an acid taking it's
place. A cleanup can be made every
day instead of semi-monthly.
DIR. Ogden will treat 100 tons daily
of custom ore and twelve tons daily
in the twelve-ton tanks which will be
used for the testing of ores entirely.
Here in the Hills it will mean the
handling of ore running as low as $3.50
ton gold Several mining companies
in their new mills.

BIG FRAUDS IN IDAHO. -..
Senator Dubois Submits Evidence to
the President.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-On a COM
plaint filed by a prominent firm of
attorneys in Idaho through Senator
Dubois. the secretary of the interior
has dispatched a special inspector to
Idaho to investigate what is said to
be a systematic defrauding of the
government in the matter of timber
lands of greater magnitude than the
Oregon cases. The charges according
to Dubois, involve four prominent cit
izens, one of whom is his lifelong
friend. The charge is accompanied by
voluminous affidavits alleging frauds
to the extent of nearly $1,0O0,OOO. The
papers have bee nturned over to
President Roosevelt by Dubois and by
him forwarded to Secretary Hitchcock
with instructions for thorough in
vestigation and prosecutions if war
ranted.
