ones, which have recently been re-. paired arc being held in reserve. Al the present price 0f copper there is no special reason why the shan non should use its ores at small profit. Should the price advance to more reasonable figure the company no doubt will increase its output materially.
 Journal Miner: Lon D. Hall, general manager of the Pittsburg- Mayer Mining company, is here from his camp in the Mayer dis trict. He is accompanied by Dr. John Crawford, a director of the concern who recently arrived here from Pittsburg, Pa, and who is so charmed with Arizona that he has decided to locate permanent y at Mayer. Mir. Hall stated that the directors of the company were f. nancing the concern for large oper- ations. He is expecting orders to resume work in the near future. The mine has been shut down since work ceased at the Humboldt smelters. The resumption of work at the Humboldt smelt CTS will be followed by opera tions on almost all the properties in that district, which have been closed during the last few months. Silver Belt: The expected strik e of the Black Hawk vein was made in the Great Eastern shaft of the Superior x Boston during the week but it was somewhat disappointing to the local management and local holders of the stock. It was anti cipated that when the vein was encountered 1t would be similar in appearance and contents to the vein on the Arizona Commercial ground, but 1t was not except in the quality of ore. Twenty-two feet were penetrated, the vein oc- curing in the pebbly grit between the upper quartzite formation and the pioneer shale which lies be- meath. The grit formation is called Barnes Conglomerate by Ramson and Is considerably broken up, as it's name signifies. The entire vein is barred with streaks of high grade ore and taking the stringers alto gether, there is about 10 feet of high grade green carbonate ore Drifting in both directions was be- gun yesterday and the manage ment is confident of finding ore similar in quantity and compact ness to that in the Black Hawk.

MINING NEWS.

ODeThtlONS Ol lne V. W A. COU1 pdDy at Leadvile; was in town Wednes- day on his way to Patagonia, where he goes to take charge of the "Three R" property, recently taken under bond by the c. & A.
 Silver Belt: Good ore is being hoisted from the Iron Gap mine of the National Mining Exploration company. The drift in the vein on the 460 level now shows from two to four feet of high grade ore which is being mined and sorted for shipment in the future. Work began during the week on a small upraise from the drift.
 Copper Era: The Arizona Cop per company output for January reached the excellent mark of 1441 tons of Bessemer copper, which is not bad for starter. When it is considered that this excellent show ing is being made with the smelter greatly in need of repairs, the A. c. company will make a most gratifying showing upon the com pletion of it's present plans in the way of repairs. Several new con- verters and a number of converter tops arrived this week from the El Paso Foundry and Machine com pany, which will be valuab ble ad- dition to the smelling department
 Journal Miner: H. L. Sweeny, who returned recently from the Bordeaux mine, in the Big Bug district, being opened by the Money Metals Mining company, brought in some samples of high grade sul- phide ore from a recent strike at that promising property. Mir. Sweeny stated to a Journal Miner representative yesterday that work OH the property was progressing satisfactorily and that the ore show ing was better than anticipated by the management of tine concern when the mine was purchased from Fred Rief, of this city, several months ago. The Bordeaux group comprises three claims, located on the headwaters of Big Bug creek one mile and a half south of Walker.
 Bisbee Miner The mining suit involving five hundred and fifty thousand shares of the Cadena de Cobre Mining company, operating in old Mexico, which has been under process of legal adjustment for the past two years, was this morning settled at Tucson accord ing to telegraphic advices received in this city at o'clock this after noon, verdict having been rendered in favor of the plaintiff, share holders of the company. In the original petition, the stockholders asked for the cancellation of the stock in question, issued and used by E. k. Hughes and others, alleg- ing it to be illegal. The case has attracted widespread interest in this district, there being large number of shareholders in Bisbee and vicinity.
 Copper Era: The Shannon out put for last month amounted to 700 tons of Bessemer copper, which compares favorably with the usual average. At this rate the Shannon will easily produce about 17,000,- 900 pounds of copper during the present year. But this is not by any means an accurate estimate.

VAST TERRITORY
SWEPT BY FLAMES
Immense Amount OF Damage
Done in Different Sec
tions of Minnesota.
HUNDREDS FIGHT THE FLAMES

Fergus Falls, Mimi, April 25.-This
section of Minnesota is having the
dryest and hottest spring weather
that has been experienced in the last
twenty years, and fires are doing an
immense amount Of damage. A mes
sage from the village of Vergas, in
the northern part of this county, yes
terday, says that forest fires are rag
ing west and south of that village and
every available man has been called
out to check them.
Another fire has been raging in the
town of Deer Creek. and the build
ings on j. B. Hompe's farm and the
Curtis farm have been destroyed
Large quantities of sawlogs and
standing timber on the Burlingame
farm and adjoining farms have been
burned. In the town Of Paddock one
school building and several houses
have been burned, and the hay losses
are heavy.
Licked Up by Flames.
At Partition station, between Hen
ming and Deer Creek, large quantities
of wood, posts and ties that have been
banked up along the track for ship
stroyed, and the fires have swept
through the standing timber on adj
joining lands and destroyed a great
deal of it. The town of Inman sends
in very similar report, and near
Richville a passing train started a
fire that destroyed the residence of ].
d. Cassidy and adjoining buildings
Here in Fergus Falls the fire de-
partment was called out twice Tues
day afternoon to check fires that had
been started in the grass and were
threatening buildings, the Devaney
woodward and the broom factory be-
ing in the path of one of them. Every
thing is as dry as finder.
Baeiey Fights Flames.
Crookston, Mimi, April "a. = Re-
ports have reached here of wholesale
destruction at Bagley, Mimi, fifty
miles east of here, of stacked farm
produce and farm houses in the path
of a prairie and forest fire. Men and
boys left their work on farms and in
the city to go to the scene of the fire,
and batted for hours to keep the
flames from the city itself. Two farm
houses are reported burned.
The fire started in the broad, dry
muskeg swamps six miles south of the
city and swept into the forests sur
rounding the swamps, gradually
spreading over the entire area. A
strong south wind drove it nOrthward.
The conhagration was stopped by
backfiring after it had burned to the
edge Of the town.

HOW TO TEST LINsEED OIL.

Q.
There is nothing that win make
paint go wrong on the house more
quickly than poor oil. 1t is as bad in
its way as authorizations in the white
lead. Petroleum oil cheapeners may
be detected by placing a drop of the oil
on black painted surface. If one sees
the characteristic iridescence OF play
Of colors which kerosene exhibits, it
is evidence of adulteration. Corn and
fish Oil can be detected by the smell.
Adulteration in white lead can best
be discovered by the use of blow
pipe, which National Lead Company
will send with instructions free to
anyone interested in paint. Address,

ATTORNEY HART
is IN CONTEMPT.
Disbarment for Six Months Is
Penalty Imposed by Special
Supreme Court.
He IS SEVERELY ARRA|GNtD

st. Paul, April 26. - Suspension
from practicing as an attorney and
counsellor at law in any of the courts
of this state for six months is the pun
lshment melted out to Capt Francis
B. Hart of Minneapolis by the special
supreme court appointed to try the
dlsbarment proceedings instituted
against him by the State Bar associa-
ton. The decision, written by Judge
Frank G. Brooks OF Minneapolis, ACT
ing chief justice. was filed yesterday
with the clerk of the supreme court
Severely Arraigned.
The special court severely arraigns
Capt. Hart for the language used in
! his letter to Chief Justice Start, aud
incidentally upholds the correctness
of the decisions rendered by the SUI
preme court to which MI Hart took
exception and upon which the letters
were based AS to his defense that
the letters were written by him as a
citizen and not as an officer of the
court the special court holds that in
so far as he exercised the rights OF
private citizen in criticising the court
he was immune from the penalty
sought to be enforced, but that in as
sailing the chief Justice personally lie
willfully violated his oath of office and
rendered himself liable to disbarment.
For Letter to Chief Justice.
The decision rests on the sending
of the letter to Chief Justice Start and
i. a., hn -
ing out Of the letters for publication
before they were mailed to the chief
justice and the governor.
The court states that ON or about
Dec. Z last he composed two letters,
one addressed to the chief justice and
the other to the governor, referring 10
the decisions of the supreme court in
three cases in which he was counsel
for the defeated parties. The letter to
the governor suggested the impeach-
ment of the justices because of their
participation in these decisions. Prior
to this the letters were given to the
press and the Associated Press and
some portions were published here
and elsewhere.
Decision Unanimous.
The special court which has handed
down this unanimous decision was ap-
! pointed by Gov. Johnson at the re-
quest Of Chief Justice Start and con-
sists of the following judges of the
district court: F. c. Brooks, Mime
apolis, special chief Justice; II. R.
Brill, ST Paul; M. D. Taylor. ST.
Cloud; w. S. McClenahan, Brainerd
and Nathan Kingsley, Austin. The
case was argued on March 10.
