At the Wood mine in Leavenworth
gulch n shipment OF ore is being taken
out preparatory to sending the same to
the concentration in Black Hawk. This
ore comes from the 2O0.foot level and
looks very good, promising some very
good returns. Work is also being prose-
cuted in the 135.foot level where there is
fine looking streak Of ore. Other nec-
essary development work is being car.

A good streak OF ore has been en-
countered in the shaft OF the West CAL
houn in Leavenworth gulch at depth
Of 270 feet. The crevice is from four to
five feet in width and shows fine copper
iron. During the last two weeks good
shipments OF the ore taken from this
point have been made to the concen.
traitor in Black Hawk. The concen.
trates are Of a very high grade running
over seven ounces to the ton, with a
good showing Of free gold on the plates.
There is now working force Of about
twenty men on the Calhoun and drift.

During the past week statement and
check was received by William Kirk, the
manager OF the Silver Dollar mine, from
a shipment OF ore that far surpassed the
expectations Of the manager. This was
lot OF three cars. each Of a different
grade, making about 10 tons altogether.
One car holding the first grade, gave net
returns of $75.S2 to the ton, while the
net returns from the second class ore
we're s63 81 to the ton. The third car Of
milling ore ran better than was expected
giving s1l.S0 to the ton, while the con-
centrates from the same returned s15.6S
to the ton, this was after the expenses
we're taken out. The Silver Dollar is
situated in the lower portion OF the Rus
sell district and is in one Of the best Of
locations. 1t was only opened up few
months ago by the owner and manager,
and from all appearances will prove one
OF the best mining propositions in the
county. The vein that the above ore
was taken out OF is OF good width and
very strong.

Ore is being sent to the mills in Black
Hawk this week from the Quartz Mill
mine in Leavenworth gulch. This will
probably be the beginning Of a series Of
steady shipments as the sinking OF the
desired depth Of the shaft has been COM
pleted and is now down distance OF $50
feet. 1t is at this point that levels have
been commenced and the ore that is be-
ing shipped is taken out. Hero good
crevice Of mill ore has been opened up
from three to four feet wide. The vein
in this mine is large one and from all
appearances is beginning to open into a
good bunch of ore. Copper is beginning
to show traces in the ore which is very
good indication. The property is under
the management Of James Bowden.

Jones 4 Jones OF the Perrin mine in
Russell district, came in again the past
week on good shipment Of ore that
gave very fiattering returns. The iron
that was shipped returned precious
metals at the rate Of 1853 ounces gold
with silver at 26.32 ounces. Copper ran
500 per cent. The mill dirt consisting
Of five cords gave values OF 81 ounces
gold to the cord with the tailings from
the same running LIS ounces gold and
4.57 ounces silver. The smelling ore
averaged slS4.S3 to the ton. This is the
second shipment 70 this kind Of ore made
from this mine within the past several
months, and the streak seems to be
holding out excellently. The ore comes
from the 250. foot level west.

Sinking Of the shaft will be commenced

the sump. Besides sinking, the different

PERRIN NINE IN VERY RICH ORE

The water in the Delmonico mine is
now down to the 12O0.foot level and is
rapidly disappearing. There is about 200
feet more to go with several levels to
drain. This is being hoisted with big
bucket in two shifts. This work had
been hindered considerably during the
past month when the friction on the en-
gine broke and about ten days were lost
in fixing the same. This allowed the
water to creep up again and it must now
all be handled again before any other
work is done. After the water is out OF
the mine active work will be commenced
in the 14OO foot levels where the best ore
is supposed to be, although little work
will be done in the upper levels also.
Quite little development work will
have to be done before any ore is ship
ped, probably two months, but it prom.
ises to be good when it arrives. The
mine is owned and operated under the
management OF John Ross.

Papers we're fled with the county clerk
the past week in regard to the Topeka
properties in Russell mining district. The
United States Circuit court has decreed
that all of the property belonging to this
group is to be sold by U. s. Marshal D..
c. Bailey Of Denver, to cover the notes
Of the Richardson's, who are interested
in the case. This is to occur on the 11th
of February. 1t will be remembered that
this property has been in litigation in
the courts for the past five or six years
and from time to time has been appealed
to higher cour ts, until the Circuit court
rendered the above decision. This will
probably end the fight that has been 60
ing on and the purchasers can then op-
crate the mine. The ore in this mine is
known to be OF the best ever taken out
OF the county and it has been a paying
proposition in former years. The shaft
house over the Topeka is one OF the best
in the district and the machinery was at
the time OF closing Of the latest kind and
every facility for working the mine profit
ably is there. The people Of the county
will rejoice when this mine is again in
operation.

A REDUCTION IS DEMANDED
WHOLE QUESTION OF SLEEPING
CAR RATES WILL BE OPEN.
Ed UP.

Washington, May ga definite eff
fort was begun yesterday before the
interstate commerce commission to
secure to the public reduction in the
rates charged by the Pullman compa-
ny for its sleeping car accommoda-
tions. This is the first time in the
history of the commission that pro-
ceeding has been brought against the
Pullman company.
Three complaints were filed against
the Pullman company and various
Northwestern railroads that are made
co-defendants by George S. LOTUS of
st. Paul, MINI.
Charges Are Unjust.
Mr.. Lotus AYERS that, in the course
of his business, he is obliged to travel
from st. Paul to various other points
and to use the accommodations of the
Pullman company. The charges for
the accommodation, he declares, are
unjust, unreasonable and excessive,
and he asks that the commission re-
duce them.
At the Offices of the commission the
complaints, which are brought under
the most recent act of congress on
the subject of rates, are regarded as
of Importance in that they will open
up the whole question of sleeping car
rates, not only on the lines mentioned
specifically in the complaint, but
throughout the country.

BODY FOUND IN TRUNK.
Grewsome Security Left by Roomers
for Unpaid Room Rent.

New York, May 20. - Three weeks
ago Mrs. Annie Sherer rented one of
her rooms to two unknown men. When
last Wednesday the rent was not
forthcoming, the dodgers, both Greeks,
told her that she was amply secured
by their we'll filled trunk. The follow
ing morning the men disappeared. and
yesterday the trunk was broken open.
To the horror of Mrs. Sherer it was
found to contain the badly decomposed
body of man believed to have been a
priest of the Greek church.
Later the body was identified as
that of Rev. Father kaspar of the Ar
menian Apostolic church of HobOken,
N. ].
The police think it possible that the
body was shipped here from Chicago
by express, and the authorities of that
city have been asked to follow one
clue, based on a meal ticket also found
in the trunk. Because of the condi-
ton of the body, the manner of death
was not Immediately apparent. Fol-
lowing all autopsy at the morgue two
men were arrested on suspicion.
Death Due to suffoeation.
The autopsy developed that the neck
had been broken, as had one arm.
Coroner's Physician Leblanc declared,
however, that death was due to suffo-
cation. The internal organs were con-
gested, and DR.. Leblanc gave it as his
opinion that the man was thrust into
the trunk while alive and the cover of
the trunk held down until death en-
sued The condition of the organs
was found to be similar to those in
cases of asphyxiation.

GOVERNMENTS WAR ON STAND.
ARD OIL IS OPENED UP IN
ST. PAUL.
HEARING ON THE EXCEPTIONS
KELLOGG DEFENDS POINTS MADE
IN THE COMPLAINT OF THE
GOVERNMENT.

ST. Paul, May 26.-An important le-
gal battle in, the governments war
against the Standard Oil monopoly
was fought yesterday in the United
States circuit court sitting in st. Paul.
The bill of exceptions to the govern
ment's complaint was argued before
the four judges of the Eighth judicial
circuit, the arguments lasting little
less than four hours. The judges,
Sanborn, Hook, Van Devanter and
Adams, took the matter under advise
ment, and there was no intimation as
to when their decision will be handed
down.
While yesterdays hearing did not
necessarily go to the merits Of the
governments case, it was important
az bearing on the future conduct of
the case.
Trusts Contentious.
If the Standard Oil attorneys are
sustained in their contentious, issue
will be joined on allegations in the
complaint which have to do only with
acts of the Standard Oil Company of
New Jersey, which was organized in
1899 as holding company to succeed
the Standard Oil trust agreement,
which was declared illegal and under
which the alleged illegal business of
the Standard Oil group were carried
on from 1882 to 1899. Neither will is
sue be Joined on alleged illegal acts
prior to 1882 of the thirty-nine oil
companies which in 1882 entered into
he trust agreement.
Governments Contention.
On the other hand, If the court sus-
ains the governments contention that
Issues in the case shall not be limit
ed to acts of the Standard Oil Compa-
ny of New Jersey, organized in 1899,
but that it Is pertinent to show the
entire history of the illegal business
methods by which the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey secured mo-
nopoly Of commerce, in violation of
he common law prior to the enactment
bf the Sherman antitrust law and in
violation of that law since it's enact
ment, the next step will be the taking

the government set up that the con-
spiracy in restraint of trade did not
begin with the organization Of the
Standard Oil Company of New Jersey
IN 1899, but that the conspiracy
Had Its Inception
back in 1870; that the conspiracy has
been a continuing offense, and that
every overt act, including the organi-
cation of the Standard Oil Company of
New Jersey, in furtherance of the
conspiracy, is renewal of the con-
spiracy AZ to all of the parties.
The government was represented at
yesterdays hearing by Frank B. KEEL
logg Of st. Paul, who made the only
argument on behalf of the govern
ment; G. B. Morrison of Chicago and
Milton P. Purdy, assistant attorney
general. The attorneys representing
the Standard Oil company were John

G. Milburn of New York.
