Greatest silyer:Lea4Mine in the World
--Will Double Output

The Bunker Hill and Sullivan mine is the biggest in the
occur dAenes 1t is Of the five or six great metal
mines OF the United States and is undoubtedly the great
est slver,ead mine in the world ecpsng even the great
Broken Hills Proprietary of Australia hitherto without
rival.
Its value is so great that it can hardly be computed
out 1t IS an interesting and illuminating fact that $780, OO0
600 cash recently refused for it, just before it's great
ore shoot was opened up its newest and deepest level
Production and Dividends
It had mined on January 1st last, B. 1885, 1884 tons Of
ore Of this amount there were produced last year 1856
tons OF clean shipping and concentrates the actual
tonnage produced at the mine being in the neghborhood
OF $780, 600 tons of crude ore From this ore there were
obtained 795 209 pounds Of lead and 8O ounces of
silver OF an aggregate value OF 81, ,O82O53.
The mine has paid in dividends $8,22600O, of which
OOO were paid last year. and is paying regular
monthly dividends Of $180000 with an occasional bonus
OF an equal amount Its capital 5000 900 divided into
100000 shares of the par value of $40 each For these
shares, as stated above $100 has been refused.
Mammoth Ore Shoot
The biggest shoot in the mine is known as the Ca
rev. 1t is 400 feet long and has maximum width Of
60 feet 1t produces large proportion of the clean ship
ping ore that comes out of the mine.
In this connection 1t IS interesting to note that all the
ore is produced through the Kellogg tunnel and that most
Of it comes from the Bunker Hill claim ITSELF though the
ducers.
AS already indicated the production of the mine O0O
tons day. Owing to the fact that occasional shudowns
of the mill are required, the output per month is aA
about $1,000 tons, besides about 800 to 5000 tprAs
clean shipping This brings the total outpN ta69
$4,000 tons year. s@fgases3 "

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE.
Hill Believes in the Building Of Addi-
tionaI Railway Trackaqe.

st. Paul, Minn,-Gov. John A. John
son has received a long letter from
James J.. Hill, president Of the Great
Northern Railroad Co., in which the
railway magnate deals exhaustively
win the various phases of the rail-
road problem.
Mr.. Hill sets out at length what, in
his opinion, is responsible for the ex-
listing situation and what should be
done to remedy it.
The western country has grown SO
fast that the railroads have been I'M
able to keep pace with it, Mr.. Hill
says, and he believes the building of
additional trackage is the best solu-
ton Of the problem.
He says it would require a perma-
nent investment of $l;10O, 900, 900 a
year for five years to provide the rail-
roads of the country with means to
handle properly the business already
in sight, and not allowing for future
growth.

The Senate.

There will be an extra session of the
senate Immediately after the adjourn
ment of the present congress for the
purpose of dealing with a new treaty
with Santo Domingo.
Washington, d. C.-The first speech
in defense of the right Of Reed
Smoot to a seat in the senate was de-
livered by Senator Hopkins, Of Hi
nois. Mr.. Hopkins took the position
that senators were not federal officers
to the extent that the senate could
pass upon their qualifications and
eligibility, or could impeach them for
high crimes or misdemeanor. If a
senator was to be punished, it must
be done by the state or federal courts.
Only federal officers, he maintained,
were Improbable, and this impeach-
ment must be for acts committed as
such federal officers.
Washington, p. Charmed by re-
ports that the house committee on
rivers and harbors will not include
the project for a 14-foot waterway be-
tween Lockport, ILL.,, and st. Louis, in
the rivers and harbors appropriation
bill, the Illinois and Missouri -delega-
tons in congress called on Chairman
Burton and asked for information con-
corning the status of the project, and
also sought a postponement of tho
completion of the bill until Representa-
tive Lorlmer, of Illinois, who is now IL,
can return to Washington and resume
his work as a member of the COM
mittee.
Mr.. Burton expressed an unwilling
ness to delay presentation of the re-
port long, as such action might en-
danger the passage of the measure.
Mr. Burton asked that representa-
tives of the two states visit him again
on January IA, when he will decide
how long the committee can wait for
the return of Mr.. Lorimer.
Mr.. Burton asked Mr.. Madden If the
delegations would oppose a survey for
a 14-foot waterway from Chicago all
the way to the gulf of Mexico. Mr..
Madden replied that they would not
oppose such a survey, but would not
be willing to accept that in lieu of an
appropriation to begin the work on the
project in Illinois.

IN CONGRESS
The House.


The president sent to congress a
message urging some action toward
remedying the situation caused by the
break in the Colorado river four miles
below the international boundary line
in Mexico, and which threatens the
property Of the Imperial valley of
California.
House committee decide to recon-
mend cut of 10 per cent in pay of rail
roads for carrying United States mails.
The army canteen was again under
discussion in the House of Represen-
tatives. While the army appropria-
ton bill was up, Representative Nor
rell, of Pennsylvania, intimated that
he would like to attach a paragraph
doing away with the a%nti-canteen law
in line with a bill he had introduced
in the first session of the Ffty-ninth
Congress.
Representative Gragg, of Texas, in
troduced a bill to appropriate $1,275,-
600 for the construction of sea walls
and entertainments to protect the sites
selected for fertilization WORKS at Gal
weston.
By a vote of 70 to 1, the Senate
passed a bill providing that railway
employees engaged in handling trains
shall not work more than sixteen con-
secutive hours, which period is to be
followed by ten hours off duty.
1t is believed that the rejection
of the plan to build an island at the
mouth of the Chesapeake bay for de-
Tense is probably the most important
step taken by the house committee on
military affairs. The committee re-
fused to accept the suggestion Of q

THE EMPIRE NEEDS COLONIES
GERMAN COLONIAL DIRECTOR
WARNS THE KAISER.
Without Them, Dernburg Says, She
Is Dependent On Other
Countries.

Berlin, Germany.-Colonial Director
Dernburg explained the foundation of
Emperor Williams so-called worlds
policy at the convention Of the Ger
man chamber of commerce. Laying
great stress upon the colonial enter
prises of Germany and the develop
ment of her colonies, Herr Dernburg
said:
THE German colonial questions is
the question of the future Of national
labor, the question of the bread of mil
lions of industrial workers, and the
question of the employment of Ger
man capital in trade, production and
navigation"
In presenting the facts leading up
to these conclusions. Herr Dernburg
said that the English-speaking nations
of the middle of the eighteenth cen
fury numbered 5000, 900, while the
German-speaking nations numbered
10000, 900. To-day 100, 000, 900 speak
English and only 10000, 900 speak Ger
man. Germany has lost a position of
relative Importance in the world be-
cause she had no colonies and was
dependent more than ever on other
countries for raw materials and food
supplies.
Herr Dernburg explained the rapid
development of the United States and
it's increasing economic Importance
and commercial influence throughout
the western hemisphere, to the detri.
ment of European nations. Light and
electrical power plants in Brazil had
passed from German into American
hands; great mining undertakings on
the Pacific coast of South America
were in the hands of the citizens of
the United States; Japan and the
United States were favored by shorter
freight routes, and were thus gaining
on Germany in supplying the Chinese
market; and the planters of the south.
ern states of the United States were
trying to arrange for the control OF
the price of cotton, the advance of /
cent per pound meaning an additional
cost of $4,000 marks to the worlds
manufacturers.

his sweetheart aided him in every
