The work of constructing the new I,OOO, ,OOOS shelter at Ogden, Utah, by the Utah Smelling O., has been tenn porarily delayed owing to the shortage of ties necessary for the construction of a spur leading to the shelter site. It is expected that this delay will be overcome within the next few days, when active operations will be com menced. Several artesian wells are being driven on the shelter grounds and from these the necessary water supply will be received. The eXcava- tion work for the foundations has been commenced and the surveys for the transmission lines from Brigham City have been completed. The fact that the shelter will be an independent concern and not controlled by the trust has won the support of the producers who will be benefited thereby. The Utah Smelling Company is composed of number of the wealthiest business men in Utah. which insures the sue cess of the undertaking.-Pioche Rec ord.

Wednesday afternoon at the Hell vetia Copper Mining company's plant, nine bins filled with ore crashed down into the 200 ton furnace, tearing it from the foundation and wrecking it completely. The cracking of the sup ports of bins, which first gave way, served as a fortunate warning to the forty men employed underneath, who made a timely escape. The boilers, blower and engines close by were not materially injured, but the pumps were badly wrecked and put out of commis- sion. A new furnace and machinery has been ordered, and the men are now at work cleaning up the wreck age, preparatory to installing the new plant.-Tucson Star.

w. J. Agler, superintendent for the Treasure Hill Mining Company, has commenced active development work on the company's mines at the foot of Stockton Hill, with Morgan Jones as foreman. Almost the very first work done under the new management re- suited in rich strike of high grade sulphide ore, which was opened up in one of the lower tunnels on the Die tionary claim. A winze was started from the bottom of this old tunnel to be driven to the next tunnel below, and the winze was not fairly started when this extremely rich ore body was encountered. It is too early yet to de- termine the extent of the ore body, but enough has been done to prove that it is one of the most important strikes that has been made in that sec tion of the country for many years.

Word reached this city yesterday of the sale of the bonanza Harqua Hala mines near Harrisburg in Yuma county, to Michigan parties. The con- sideration was not learned, but it is known to be in the neighborhood of a quarter of a million dollars. The mines were discovered in the latter sos, and for a number of years aston ished the entire west by their gold output Some of the richest gold specimens ever seen in the territory were mined from its treasure vaults.

At the German American, in the San Francisco district, the new steam air compressor plant is running smoothly and the machine drills are knocking big holes in the bottom of the deep shaft and the long drifts each way.

Superin- tendent Moser is making the property not only pay for its own development, but paying dividends besides.

Just at the present writing there is quite a number of prospectors engaged in the exciting pursuit of seeking lost mine. The mine is supposed to be located in box canyon, somewhere to the north of Eldorado. It is known as the Hughes property, and there are countless stories regarding its fabu- lous richness. As the story goes, Hughes, who lived at Eldorado years ago, often made trips out to his mine, and returning, brought his burros laden with exceedingly rich ore run ming high in both gold and copper values. The location of the ground the old man guarded zealously, and but little was ever learned, other than that it was located in a canyon in a northerly direction, and that the claims were all properly monumented. It is these monuments that prospectors have eagerly looked for, and it is re- ported that Weineke and Bartogee have at last found them. They, in turn, are preserving the greatest sec recy. but their movements are being closely watched by others, who hope, in this way, to get into the new sec tion and to secure adjacent ground Nevada Searchlight.

Beemer Wins.

Attorneys E. S. Clark and R. E. Morrison are home from Yuma after representing H. J. Beemer in his fla nous suit against Pease in the term of the district court held there recently. The suit was brought to rescind a 2,5OO. .OOOS contract, and another suit was instituted by Pease for the recov- cry of the same amount said to be due him on the contract. By stipulation both suits were consolidated and tried as one before a jury, which returned a verdict for Beemer, awarding him IS damages, when all he prayed for in his cause of action was the annulment of the contract. The suit was over the purchase of a mining property in the Ouartzite district of Yuma county, and was one of the most sensational civil suits tried in southern Arizona for a number of years.-PreScOtt Journ- al-Miner.

In 1898, while living at his birthplace,

erty. All Russia rose quickly to the

worship of brute force, bitter con-

congress whenever any scheme look
ing toward the authorization of q ma
tional system Of espionage has been
proposed. II has been pointed out most
emphatcally that such action would be
construed by the public as imperial
Ism pure and simple on the part Of the
executive branch Of the government.
Thus It Is that congress Is not OPEN

congress professed TO be obllyous OF
it's existence and It Is only about TWEEN
ty years ago that the national legisla-

treasury department has appealed In
vain to congress to have this limlta-
ton removed. but certain concessions
have been made from time TO time.
Since the legislative investigation Of
the trusts became such craze the
duties and powers Of the secret service
have been enlarged greatly. Much Of
the important aid which the executive
department has been able to afford the
prosecution Of these corporate trans
gressors is due TO the preliminary in

r Uncle SANS secret service
Is most intangible and
mysterious thing to the great
~ mass OF the people of the
United States. Popular
imagination pictures It as n sort OF hid
den agency working entirely under
cover and responsible to some great
unknown whose authority is para
mount. II has the characteristic Of be-
ing felt without being seen, OF being
manifest only by the work 1t does and
that adds greatly to It's mystery.
In point Of fact the United States
secret service Is simply the detective
force Of the national treasury In one
form or another It has been an adjunct
Of that institution since the early days
Of the government. It's greatest eff
cheney was developed at the time OF the
civil war and since and its activity OF
course. has corresponded with that OF
those who We're engaged In the ne
farious business of defrauding Uncle
Sam.
That Il IL very important and nee
essary branch OF the public service is
easily apparent, on the men Of the
secret service devolye the special duty
and exclusive privilege Of seeing to it
that all the coin and currency Of the
United States--the greatest aggregate
Of money in the world--shall consist of
honest money and Of that alone.
Thus II Is that the work OF the secret
service men does not differ particularly
from that Of ordinary detectives In the
great cities. There Il the same perse-
Vering and careful searching for clews
and criminals. In recent times, how
ever, there seems to have been a grad
ual expansion Of the capabilities Of the
secret service agent. and he has some-
times shown a disposition TO assume
the role assigned to similar officials In
european governments.
Although there is no especial warrant
FOR national and general detective
service In connection with the federal
government, there have been numerous
occasions when these men employed to
