MINING COPPER AT A
DEPTH OF 4,9OO FEET
[Continued From First Page. !

it is to keep the supply constant and
unfailing, ore copper mining COM
pany in this district spends half
million every year in the search for
new veirs. Others promote investi-
cation as far as allowed by their re-
sources.
Lake copper is the standard of
the world and is set higher in Imam
cial and commercial reports. 1t is
used in all industries where a certain
degree of fueness is absolutely necess-
airy, particularly in the mlnts aud the
navy. Lake" copper always COM
mands higher price than copper
which has teen refined through the
roasting process.
Copper men in other districts will
tell you that the Suprior mines are
''playing out" but old miners here
laugh at such statements. They ac-
knowledged that some of the older
mines have been closed down, but
say century's work underground
will make no appreciable difference
in the total output. The Red Jacket
shaft, going down 4, 900 feet, is as
rich at the bottom level as at any
other; therefore, they argue with rea-
son that if they go deeper yet depos-
its equally valuable will be found.
Just how far mining could be pros
ecuted underground is, OF course,
problematical. The temperature at
the bottom Of the Red jacket shaft
is constantly about 80 degrees Fab.
renheit. Deeper down it would be
still hotter, but if it were necessary,
mans ingenuity could meet this stu
alton and overcome it until a depth
were reached at which the ore would
be too hot to handle. That at least,
is what some of the foremost mining
copper men say here, aud they ought
to know something about the business
Montana copper does not run so deep
ly. The famous Anaconda mine be-
gan to show signs of exhaustion at
reaching a depth of 1000 feet,
though in other mines as far down as
2,40O feet very rich ore was struck.
Labor troubles, so frequent and dis
astrous in the Montana district, are
very rare here and when they do
occur are quickly settled. Wages is
not as high here as at Butte, where
miners are paid ali the way from $50
to $500 month, and where living
rs extremely high. The "trammers"
here, most of whom are Finlanders,
get discontented once IN awhile and
e., 3 the "law" here sides .nvari-
a.t'y with the copper companies and
things are quickly settled Occasion
ally the sheriff and his deputies send
a few bullets towards the disturbing
element and peace reignO thereafter
until the lesson is forgotten. The
'trammers" receive $50 to $50
month.

Egyptian Obelisks.

The obelisk in Central park, brought
to this country in 1880, was set up at
the entrance of the temple of the Sun
at Heliopolis; Egypt, about 1881 B. c.,
by Thotmes III. Twenty-three years
before Christ the Emperor Augustus
moved the obelisk, together with it's
companion, now on the banks of the
Thames, London, to Alexandria, from
which place it was brought to New
York at the time designated above.
OF Egyptian obelisks some forty-two
are known, though many Of these are

GRAIN IS THREATENED.
Unreasonable Weather Prevents tho
T%hreshing and Lowers Grade

T%hreshing and Lowers Grade.
Colonel Creel of Devils Lake fears
there will be a good deal of the grain
left unthreshed this fall in North Da-
kota unless the weather from now on
should prove remarkably fine.
This has been a freak year all
through" he said. "It started out that
way and has continued in that direc-
ton. If the grain can only be
threshed the farmers will come
through in good shape as the price
gives them a handsome profit. On a
recent trip to Fargo I travelled over
the Aneta cur-off and the crops all
along are fine, but there has been
scarcely any %threshing done. Flax
has probably suffered damage, as most
of the farmers have not had help
enough to turn it over so that it
would dry properly after the rainfall.
The experience at the Dakotas has
been that grain left over from fall to
spring u%nthreshed is of little use.
"One effect of the rainfall of the
past few weeks will be to lower the
grade of a large share of the grain. 1
fear that there will be very little No.

PROFITS OF PIPE LINE.
In One Year They Exceeded Com
pany's Investment.


New York, Sept. 27.-The Indiana
Pipe Line company, a subsidiary of
the Standard Oil, made a profit of 3d.
O91,022 in 1903 on a total investment
Of S2,22S.75S, according to the COM
pany's figures produced by George
Chesebro, controller of the National
Pipe Line company, who appeared as
a witness Thursday in the federal
suit against the oil combine. Mr..
Chesebro testified that the Indiana
Pipe Line company was a common
carrier only in the transportation of
oil. From balance sheets Of the com-
pany Frank B. Kellogg, conducting the
governments case, sought to show
that the Indiana company was making
excessive profits and that it main
tanned a high schedule of tariffs to pre-
vent shipments of oil by independent
oil producers. Mr.. Chesebro testified
that the Indiana company trans
ported practically only the oil of the
Standard company. The counsel for
the government allege that it will be
shown that the profits made by these
pipe line companies have in some
cases been twenty times the actual
cost of ODeratiOn.

TO RESTRICT THEIR POWER
State Officials Would Curtail
That of Federal Courts.

st. Louis, Oct. IA strong desire to
do away with the conflict of jurisdic-
ton between state and federal courts
and as n Of the phases of that to re-
their dealings with matters pertaining
wholly to a state, seemed to be the
prevailing sentiment at a convention
of attorneys general from fifteen
states of the Union at the Southern
hotel Monday. Herbert S. Hadley, at
torney general of Missouri, presided.
The following papers were given:

that he expects to be arrested on

CONSPIRACY CHARGED
Leaders Of Alleged Cuban Revolt
Captured in Havana.
BACKED BY AMERICAN CASH
Plot Matched in New York and Pro-
fessional Rebels Employed to
Do the Work.

Havana, Sept. 26.-The secret po-
lice early in the day arrested General
Masso PARA and a little later took
into custody General Juan Ducassi
and General Lara Miret, charged with
conspiring against public order.
General PARA is the alleged leader
Of the conspiracy to start a revolution
against the Americans in Cuba with
the use of funds supplied from or
through some firm on Broadway, New
York. 1t is known hat Simultaneous
ly with the arrival of PARA at Havana
three Santo Domingans, we'll known
on account of their previous revolu-
tionary records, also reached this port
and it is stated that other individuals
of a similar character are working in
Eastern Cuba. The government has
knowledge of the act that General
Jiminez, the ex-president of San Do
mingo, has recently been at Santiago
de Cuba, but whether he was connect
ed with the conspiracy is not yet
known.
1t is known that the conspiracy
was Matched in New York by certain
Americans whose names, it is said,
already are in the possession of the
United States government secret Off
GERS and it is stated that the leaders
here were simply professional re1olu-
t~ionists hired for the purpose Of carry
ing on the revolt.
In consequence of the arrests made
here it is believed that the movement
will result in a fiasco. Governor Ma
COON, however, is not taking II
chances. He is amply prepared with
5000 American soldiers and 5000 ru-
raj guards to crush any movement.

felt, president of the Standard Oil
company Of Indiana, will, according to
his counsel, give evidence to the fed

NOT CONSIDERED SERIOUS
Cuban Situation as Viewed by WASH
inqton Officials,

Washington, Sept. 26.-War depart
ment officials, while admitting that
agitation is rampant among the negro
population in Cuba because of their
failure to receive their proper share of
the offices, declare there is little prob
ability of any uprising against the
provisional government on that ac-
count. The negro population, compos-
ing 80 per cen of the people who OPP
posed Palma's government, claim they
have not been fairly treated. A on
tinuation of this agitation, it is admit
ted, might have a serious effect in
driving some of the malcontents to at
tempted risings in isolated places, but
Governor Magoon is said to be pre-
pared to prevent anything like an in
surrection.
Acting Secretary of War Oliver was
at the White House during the day,
but he did not regard the stories of a
Cuban revolt of sufficient Importance
to bring it to the presidents attention.
Governor Magoon is keeping the war
department advised of the situation
and is consulting freely with General
Barry and other military officers in
command of the army of Cuban pacii-
cation. His dispatches, for prudential
reasons, are not made public. The
agitation has been in Havana and
Pinar del Rio provinces, in the latter
province being among the lawless
class, mainly negroes.
Governor Magoon has reported that
private and official advices from San
tiago, Puerto Principe, Santa Clara
and Matanzas provinces indicate abso-
lutte tranquility there. General Barry
has telegraphed from Havana:
referring to newspaper accounts
of agitation in Cuba have been alive
to the situation for some days, though
nothing has developed worthy of re-
porting. All intelligence officers and
station commanders have been alert
and have reported everything con
corning it. Daily reports from them
show tranquility in all provinces ex-
cept Pinar del Rio, where there is
some slight agitation among a lawless
class, mainly negroes. Am satisfied
any friction which may arise will be
promptly and successfully handled"
