No Details Are Given Out.

Secretary Taft said he could give
no details of what TRANSFERRED at the
conference for the reason that it was
now necessary to treat with the gov
eminent leaders, and that the publica-

terfere with their prompt acceptance.
What Looks Like Proba bility.
Taft and Bacon went to the palace
and informed President Palma of the
outcome Of the negotiations with the
Liberals. The absence of definite
statement from the commissioners
makes it impossible to say whether the
plans carry the resignation of the pres
ent administration and the congress-
men elected last year Or not. There
is a strong impression that President
Palma will remain and reorganize
the cabinet but that new elections
will be held for half the senators and
representatives. other words, those
who were elected last year-and pos
sibly also for provincial officers.

In an interview recently Patsy Clark
had the following to say to Editor
Frank Manix of the |Bullfrog Miner"
about his Death Valley properties:
"As to the work on Furnace Creek,
the shaft Is now down 100 feet and the
bottom is in solid carbonate OF copper.
We have discovered one thing. and that
is this BY going down the hill. where
the large leads also crop, We can drive
a tunnel under the present shaft and
tap the veins at a depth of 1900 feet,
but the entrance 10 the tunnel would
have to be made on the opposite side of
the hill Eventually railroad will
skirt that side of the mountain.
Il was a little afraid the Furnace
Creek section would not be conducive
to health during the warm season, but
have been informed that 1t is good In
two weeks the Smith railroad will have
been finished to within forty miles of
the mines, and by the first of the year,
or not later than February, 1t will reach
a point only twelve miles from the
property. From now on transporta-
ton facilities will become easier.
%Work at the Bullwhacker is pro-
crossing nicely. considering the fact
that some trouble with the hosting
engine has been experienced In the
first place the engine got mixed up In
a railroad wreck and was damaged to
such an extent that repairs were neces-
sary. II is now running. however. and
promises good returns for the incon-
venience II caused The shaft on the
property is $50 feet deep and from now
on more rapid headway will be made
1T has been recently learned that
few years ago some Industrious men,
whose identity is unknown. sunk
shaft on the Bullwhacker. ran a drift
at point where the veins cross and
extracted lot of good copper ore
which they shipped. In doing this work
they cultivated quite a dump which
was not shipped, and the company will
do this later, for the entire lot runs
nearly five per cent copper In view
of the fact that this stuff was thrown
away. the trespassers must have taken
out some very good ore. The point al
which this work was done is only a
short distance from the main shaft"

man moved her bed into the thirst

the men outside sought protection in
