AT E
ARID IN
COURT

DUBLIN, May 2O.-A thrilling story
of a m~utinous crew and a desperate
fight IN mid-ocean was unfolded at the
Belfast police court the other day.
Arthur Barnes, the boatsawin's mate
The bark Dunfermline is q vessel OF
2773 tons, and is owned by Wicker,
Marshall & Co. of Liverpool. She sailed
from Tacoma, Washington, for Belfast
on November 90 last with a cargo OF
grain. and reached her destination last
Wednesday. During the voyage she
experienced terrible weather. When
ten days out the captain, John Wood
ward, was washed overheard and
drowned in a heavy sea, which carried
away most of the sails and part OF the
rigging and deck houses.
The first officer, David -,ailie, then
took command of the ship, which was
steered for Cape Horn. On January
20, when the vessel was approaching
Cape Horn, there was a renewal OF the
storm, and then began a series of ex-
citing incidents which eliminated in
the court proceedings.
"When 1 took charge | called all
hands together and said | intended to
proceed with the ship he said.
q Barnes said the vessel was not fit,
but the voyage was proceeded with,
and / had constant trouble with the
crew.
con January 90 I was on the fore
upper topsail yard giving a help in
bending the sail, when the third mate
fell over the ships side.
"The ship was brought to, lifeboats
were thrown out, and the boat lowered.
For an hour nothing could be discerned
of the missing man. Then | noticed a
flock of birds some distance away, and
directed the men in the boat to proceed
in that direction.
"The mate was found there keeping
himself aloft with a life buooy which
he had secured, and he was brought
safely aboard.
cat the time I gave instructions for
the lowering of the lifeboats Barnes
made complaint about the davit tack

that he would put me in irons. He or.

FROM LOWER CALIFORNIA.
Lee ellison Tells of Operations Down
on the Mexican Peninsula.

Lee @. ellison, who left here some
thing over six months ago to take the
management of the La Junta Gold
Mining cOmpany'S properties at La
Paz, B. c.. Mexico, is back home again
pending the settlement of some legal
complication that has arisen over the
grant from the Mexican government
under which the title was secured to
the ground. Mr.. ellison, who was ac-
companied into the southern country
by Mrs. ellison, states that the loca-
ton of the mines, near the extreme
southern point of the Lower California
peninsula, is one of the most delight
full spots in the world. At an elevation
of over 1000 feet above La Paz, the air
is delightfully."- cool and bracing and he
will therefore not regret going back
again as soon as the company's scrap
over the ground is settled.
1t is near La Paz that the silver-gold
mines of the PrOgressO company, which
have been operated for the last fifty
years, are located. These mines, though
only opened to a depth of 1900 feet
have produced $4,000, 600. This is the
only deep mine on the Peninsula, no
other property having a hole down
deeper than sixty feet, the latter being
a shaft started by Mr.. Gibson a short
time previous to his coming out. He
states that the country is simply laced
up with lodges carrying gold and some
silver and quite number of PROPOSE
lions have shipped ore from shallow
surface workings to Selby, at San
Francisco, and made a fine profit,
though it cost them $23 a ton for ship
ping and treatment charges

HORN sILVER's REPORT.
Company's Operations for Year
Were Profitable.

The printed reports of the Horn Sill
yer Mining company for the year 1905
were being issued yesterday. The re-
port shows that the company began the
year with S70,726.35 in the treasury and
that it closed with cash on hand
amounting TO s39, 1851; call loans of
$4,000, and cash at the company store
amounting to s13,005.21, or a total of
$50, 421.12, while dividends of $50. 900
were paid to shareholders during the
year.
The crude ore and concentrates sold
during the year brought SI73. 267.51,
while the product contained 1864. 0O7
pounds of lead, $3.50 pounds of copper,
6,035,553 pounds of zinc, 1O9,231 ounces
of silver and 335 ounces of gold.
Manager P. T. Farnsworth's report
showed that the company had sold it's
zinc ore for a comfortable profit and
the opinion was expressed that the day
was close at hand when that character
of ore would bring better prices than
1t did last year, as there is now a COM
petitive demand for it. Developments
in the mine are reported as having
been of most encouraging nature.
While no announcement has vet been
received from the New York headuuar-
ters of the company, it is practically
certain that the usual quarterly diyf-
dende of $4,000 or &c a share will be
paid between now and the first of April
1t is just as certain that payments will
continue regularly throughout the
year.

BOSTON COPPER GOSSIP.
Orders from Europe for Red Metal
Coming With Rush.

The following interesting news and
gossip came over the private wires of
James A. Pollock & Co. from Boston
yesterday;
The Montana Ore Purchasing COM

The metal market is stronger each

idend in July, but the rate is not vet
decided Copper Range is in good de-
mand on reports of more favorable out
look at the New Globe property and
very little stock is offered.
European consumers have been
fighting the copper market for several
weeks. They have been holding off or
ders to buy while at the same time re-
Questing as a special favor that their
April deliveries be made in March. This
week, however. orders have come in by
cable with rush and the copper pro-
ducers are now again face to face with
the problem of how to hold the copper
market down. During the recent IulI
there was no shading from 1881 cents
for the best grade of Lake Superior
copper, and the United Metals Selling
agency refused to sell electrolytic below
1919 cents, but some small producers a
few weeks ago sold electrolytic at 1Sc
and a fraction below. All sacrifice lots
now appear to be cleaned up and unless
the demand is checked the copper sale
agents can be no factor in the market"
