MARSHALL field
Died TUESDAY

Marshall Field, the millionaire
Chicago merchant, died at the Holland
house New York city at O'Clock Tues
day afternoon after nine days illness
of pneumonia.
Death came peacefully while the MEM
bers of the family, who had been in
almost constant attendance for several
days, were gathered around the death
bed. They, as we'll as the dying mer-
chant himself, were prepared for the
end. For days they had been swayed
between hope and fear, but when the
alarming turn came today after the
remarkable rally of yesterday, it was
recognized that the end had been only
briefly deferred. Those who were
present when the merchant died were
Mrs. Marshall Field, Mrs. Marshall
Field, Jr. August N. EDDY, Mrs Hen.
ry Dibblee, John G. Lincon and Mrs.
Preston Gibson.
The ray of hope which flashed to the
watchers yesterday afternoon when the
seemingly dying man suddenly rallied
and for time appeared to gain
strength rapidly, was first displaced by
an announcement after the morning
consultation of the doctors today. Mr..
Fields rest had been disturbed during
the latter part of the night, and when
morning came it was found that the
improvement had not been maintained.
From that time until the end the APP
proach of death was steady and irresis-
tible. By noon the last atom of hope
again had fled. AT 2 o'clock word
came from the sick room that Marshall
Field was very low and the end was
expected any moment.

The Men Who Give Us Wheat.

After listening to the grain growers,
the warehousemen. the millers, the
railroad men, as well as the expert
ment station experts at the Pullman
wheat convention, the deepest impress
sion left on the mind is that the first
and most important step in the pro-
motion of the industry is in the hands
of the producer himself If the farmer
will deliver to the warehouse or ele-
vator the best quality of a standard
breed of wheat, the largest part of his
troubles are over.
A prominent miller declared that
bluestem and the Big Bend variety of
club wheat made the -four in greatest
demand

.CGURD' ALENE Mines
DURING 1905 PRODUCED over
Sl5,OOO,OOO IN MINERALS.
lead-Silver Mines Contribute Over
$4,000, ooo-Federal Company Mined
the Most, With Bunker Hill Com.
pany Second-OVer 5000 Men EN-.
ployed in District.

From official and semioficial sources
it is learned that the mines of the
Occur d'Alene mining district during
1905 produced total of $15,220,692 in
lead. silver. copper, god and zinc. an
increase over that of 1904 of approx.
mately $3,o0O,OOO.
Of this sum the lead-silver mines
contributed $14,196, 1872, the remaining
$1,023,7 40 standing to the credit of the
copper gold silver zinc producing
mines.
The tons of ore mined during the
year were approximately 1,445,170, the
Federal Mining e. Smelling company's
five mines-the Standard, Mammoth,
Empire State, Tiger Poorman and
Morning-leading with $751; 900 tons, as
nearly as can be ascertained; the
Bunker Hill & Sullivan mine ranking
second, with the enormous output of
BAL, 40 tons. The Hecla is third on the
list, with 100000 tons, then follows the
Snowstorm, with 5,400 tons; the Her
cules next, with 1880 tons.
The silver content of all the ores
shipped totals 100000 ounces, having
S4,4O2,O00 commercial value. figured at
81 cents an ounce for the year. The
lead content foots up to 249 1000, 900
pounds, worth $10,OSO,000, reckoning
at cents a pound. the price allowed
the producer at the mine. The New
York price of lead for the year aver
aged cents a pound. This difference
in price, if allowed the mine owners,
would make the total value of the
output of the Occur d'Alene mines ap-
proXimate $17,710,692.
The mines of the Federal company
yielded 5000 900 ounces of silver. the
Bunker Hill & Sullivan 2,0S9,000, the
Hercules 727,651, the Hecla 5S217O
and the Snowstorm 3S2,960 ounces.
These figures are officially confirmed.
The Federal company's mines pro
duced 118.7S4,300 pounds of lead, the
Bunker Hill e Sullivan 97,281,170
pounds, the Hecla 4O3,39 pounds and
the Hercules 1,656,94S pounds.
Metallic lead to the total amount of
124, 500 tons was produced in this dis
trict during 1905, an increase over last
years output of $500 tons. 1t is be-
lieved that this remarkable output rep
resents 38 per cent of the total lead
production of the United States for
the year.
OF the eight leading mines in the
district the dividends and net earn
ings total $6055, 900, the Bunker Hill
e Sullivan leading with 1926, 900; the
Federal company's mines ranking sec
ond with $1,75000O the Hercules next
with $3.50, 900 and the Hecla with $240,-
600.
The new mines and prospect proper
ties employ about 1000 men, bringing
the grand total number of the men
employed in the mines of this district
to 1910. These men receive upon an
average $500 a day each, totaling
.$11052 day, 1891 $50 a month or
$3,97S,720 during the year.
The chief producer of lead is the
Snowshoe mine, near Mullan, with an
output last year of 5,10S572 pounds,
this being an increase of it's produc-
ton for 1904 of over 100000 pounds.

England SELECTION
], ARTHUR BALFOUR, FORMER
PREMIER DEFEATED.
First Days Contest IN Great Britain Is
Overwhelmingly in Favor of the
Present Government-More Labor
ites-Balfour Will Find Another
Safe Seat by Some One Retiring.

London, Jan. 14.-The political map
OF England Saturday underwent a
striking change as the result of par
liamentary elections held in 80 constit.
uencies in widely scattered but I'M
portant centers and in which the lib.
erals gained IS seats. The laborites.
who are counted among all liberal
gains, secured four new seats against
unionist Candidates.
In the east division of Manchester.
Arthur j. Balfour, the former premier.
was defeated by T. G. Horridge, liberal.
who was conceded even by the liberals
weak candidate against such a per-
son as Mr.. Balfour Mr. Horridge Sc
cured the remarkable majority of 1880.
This victory Notwithstanding the lib
eral predictions, was a decidedly SEN
satlonal outcome of the days polling
and will, it is believed, enormously af-
feet the elections which will continue
for a fortnight.
Winston Churchill, liberal and free
trader, won the seat for the northwest
division of Manchester from w. John.
ston Hix, conservative, by majority
of 1241.
Everywhere the liberal ma1orities
were increased, and the net result of
the first days contest between the
great political parties was overwhelm-
ingly in favor of the present govern
ment.
Although only sc seats are now filled
out of the GO required for the new
parliament which will meet at West
minister February Is, the composition
of the house as shown by the results
received up to midnight, is as follows:
Liberals, 80; unionists, IA; laborites
6; nationalists, 7. This includes "a
candidates who were unopposed and
the two candidates elected at Ipswich
Friday.
OF course. Mr.. Balfour will find an
other safe seat before the elections
are over, by one of the unionist can
didates retiring in his favor. Up to
the present however, there Is no in
dicatiOn where the former premier will
find the place where he can secure a
majority which will enable him to take
his seat as leader on the front op-
position bench

Violet Searles, mistress of Dan
Carleton, travelling salesman for the
American Tobacco company, commit
ted suicide in Seattle by taking cyanide

Carlton was preparing to desert her.
She leaves motherless q chubby boy of
. years, by a former marriage.

of the handsomest women in Seattle.
She was unusually attractive. Garlic
ton was the only witness to the deed.
He said that he could assign no reason
whatever for her suicide. The last
breath had scarcely left the body of the

his dead sweetheart and coolly removed
two diamond rings and ruby ring
from her fingers, showed them in his
pockets, lighted cigarette and then
accompanied the doctor down Yesler
