MUCH TO SHOW
REPUBLICANS ACCOMPLISHED A
GREAT DEAL IN LAST SESSION
OF CONGREss-SOME OF THE
IMPORTANT WORK.

WASHINGTON,Ju June 81. A resume
of the present session of congress
ELECTS the interesting fact that there
were more important questions pre-
scented to and discussed by congress
on which the public generally or Sec
lions or classes demanded action than
ever before in Its history. The ag-
gregate of appropriations was great,
and figures exceed those of any pre-
vious session In times of peace.
Numerous bills Affecting labor
were considered by both the senate
and house. A new employers liabil-
ity law to take the place OF that de-
clared unconstitutional by the SUI
preme court was passed. Other mat
tiers of equal or greater Importance to
organized labor failed. These in
cluded an anti-injunction law, pro-
vision for the exemption of organized
labor from the treble penalty clause
of the Sherman antitrust law and
other amendments to relieve labor
unions from operations of this law.
Some of the striking things urged
upon congress by President Roose-
welt, other than those already men,
tiOnDug anu NCiC nv ChaStOos
resulted In compromises. For In
stance, he wanted national child
labor law. He also asked for the en-
actment of law regulating child la
Dor In the District OF Columbia and
the territories, and the latter bill was
passed.
The construction of four battle
ships was urged In special message,
but congress refused to allow them.
An appropriation was made for the
construction of two battleships and
the policy of authorizing two each
year was announced by Republican
leaders.
Authority to name a tariff commits
sion and to appoint experts to gather
data with view to the revision of
the tariff at the next session was
strongly advocated. AS a result, res
olutions were adopted in the senate
authorizing the committee on finance
and In the house authorizing the
committee on ways and means to con-
duct individual Investigations.
The interstate commerce commits
sion won substantial victory In the
appropriation of $350,000 for the es-
adjustment of statistical and &C.
counting department
An effort was made and is still In
progress In the senate to suspend the
operation of the commodities clause
of the Hepburn railroad rate act un-
til January l, 1910.
Some general revision of the Sher-
man antitrust law In the interest of
both. capital and labor was demand
ed. and bill was presented by the

REBEL CREEK LOOKS GOOD.

T. f. Melody, who is in town from
Rebel creek. in the New Goidfields
district, states that great many
people are going into the camp and
that everybody is busy, either pros
pecting the hills or working on their
claims, says the Humboldt Star. The
Manitou Co. under the able manage
ment OF Dr. f. ]. Hyatt, is pushing
work on its mill, which is being
erected at the head of Skull creek
There are number of companies do
ing work on their properties and al
ready some of them have gone to
considerable depth on the lodges with
good results as far as values are con-
eerned

National Civic Federation but no &C.
tion was taken.
The question of conserving the nat
ural resources was before the ses-
sion prominently for many weeks.
An effort In both bodies to secure an
appropriation for the creation of the
Southern Appalachian and White
Mountain forest reserves failed.
AS an alternative a commission to
investigate was authorized. The Gre
alton of waterways fund by making
an appropriation of $50,000,000 was
advocated and rejected. As a sub
stitute bill was prepared to CON
tinue" the inland waterways commits
sion, which bill was amended to "au-
thorize" the commission. The bill
to permit the president to appoint the
inland waterways commission was
passed.
An action of great general interest
was the proposition for a substantial
increase in the pay of officers and
enlisted men of the army, navy, ma
rine corps, revenue cutter service and
life saving service of the government.
Several other bills were passed for
the benefit of the military establish
ment, and among these was provi-
sion to increase the marine corps by
what will amount to one regiment
A bill was passed removing the re-
strictions from the sale and DISPOSE
ton of lands held by members of the
five civilized tribes, except full
bloods.
A campaign publicity bill was pass
ed by the house; bills regulating the
shipment of liquor to prohibition
states were considered without re-
suits, and bills to establish postal
savings banks met the same fate.
The Rainey River minnesota
dam project, which was passed by
congress and vetoed by the president
because of the absence of such pro-
visions, was passed over the presi-
dents veto. AT the same time there
was a large number of bills passed
authorizing the construction of dams,
as well as many bills providing for
the building of bridges across navig-
able streams.
A determined effort was made in
the senate to take a step looking to-
ward ship subsidy.
The ocean mail subvention bill was
passed by an amendment to the post
Office appropriation bill. 1t met with
opposition in the house, and is a dis
puted item in conference.
Another important piece of legis-
lation In the post office bill is pro-
vision authorizing the postmaster
general to suppress periodicals which
publish articles melting anarchy. ar
son or murder.
Among other matters which be-
came laws at the present session are
the following:
Prohibiting betting on races in the
District of Columbia; requiring the
registration of all cases of tuberculo-
sis in the District of Columbia, which
Is intended as a model for state

like a sure winner. Already a num-
Der of business places have been OPP
ened and over a hundred lots have
been sold. The people of Quinn
River valley are greatly excited over
the new camp and the larger number
of the lots already sold has been to
residents of the valley. As the re-
suit of the brisk demand. lots which
were first put on the market two
weeks ago for $50 are now held from
$50 up and several transfers at
largely advanced price have been
made

OUTPUT .ii MAY.

The big mill of the Pittsburg Sn-

and grinds out a comfortable fortune
every month. The output for May,
while not yet accurately determined,
will be in excess of 100000. This
is on ore the average OF which for the
month was $10.53 per ton. Condi-
tions at the mine are very satisfae-
tory and, since the installment of the
new compressor, there Is an abund-
anee of power for the big drills, of
which there are 10 In operation, and
there is no difficulty in breaking all

for extensive development of the
ground is being outlined by Mr. Jnes-

the cost of mining to very low fig
