Mr.. Loeb with having put Mr.. Cor
telyou in a false light before the pub
lie and they also believe that he is re-
sponsible for the impression that has
been created that the President and
Mr.. Cortelyou are on the outs.
Cortelyou proposes to stay in the
Department, unless the President
should indicate that his resignation
is desired. This, Mr.. Cortelyou's
friends say, is not expected, for there
is no reason why such a request
should be made. Because he has 10
thought Of resigning. Mr.. Cortelyou
has refused offers to accept the pres
idency of big financial institutions.
He has had these offers on an aver
age Of about two month. All have
been rejected. Despite the efforts Of
certain interests unfriendly Ito Cor

the president have broken, it is said
there is no warrant for this statement
It is true hat the two have had dis

certain appointments. Mr.. Cortelyou

told the president why he differed
from him, and he matter was thor

Railroads Will Fight.

Nashville Tenn.-Upon reliable in
formation il Is ascertained .ihat. the
railroads of Tennessee will fight the
recent order of the Tennessee rail-
road commission in reducing the pas
senger fares in the state from three
cents to two and half cents per
mile, effective April l, 1908. Railroad
officials GENERALLY attribute the caass
Of the order and the agitation Of the
rate reduction to politics, and claim
that as result Of politicians making
an effort to come into public favor,
their interests are being made to suf-
fer. Officials of the railroads claim
further that the enforcement of the
order will have very injurious ef-
feet upon the railroad interests of
the south and that the cry Of more
roads for undevelopel communities
will be strangled by the politicians

and be ushered into office,

The lower tunnel is in $500 feet and
is at depth of 1900 feet. Owing
to this great depth it is hard to
figure accurately when the ore body
encountered in the upper workings
will be struck, but we expect that 1t
will be reached in 120 to $50 feet

tract when about 80 feet OF work is
completed. The rest of the contract

ACTIVITY At PEND O'0RE|LLE
Promising Properties Will be Develop
ed This Season

Late reports from the Pend
d'Oreille mining district are to the
effect that there IL more activity IN
hat section than for several years.
Many promising claims are being ex-
tcnsiyely deve!ooed and some of The
properties give promise of becoming
shippers.
j. M. Jeannot has a crew of men
laying out road to the BimetalliC
property, and will start hauling ore
for shipment as soon as the road is
completed. Mr.. Jeannot has award
ed contract for an extension of the
tunnel on the Silver Wave property.
1t is said that 100 feet more will tap
the ledge and the owner is antici-
pating a great showing at depth,
since the lead is II feet wide on
the surface, where much shipping
ore was found. The tunnel will tap
the ledge at depth of about 200
feet.
The O. X. Mine, which is owned by
L. H. and j. M. Jeannot, will put
on crew of men in a few days sink
ing a winze from the face of the
tunnel, which is in 500 feet.
The settlement of the Panhandle
smelter affairs has served as a stimu-
lus to mining operations.

for running about 100 feet OF work
on the Carbonate on Pine creek, re-
ports that he has been prosecuting
from the hanging to the foot wall.
Mr.. Weiss has been drifting on the
vein for greater depth.
While the vein is carrying no ore
at present, the matter is highly
stained which gives promises of the
proximity Of an ore body. Some ex.
cellent ore has been found on the
surface and the company is in hopes
that this lower tunnel will open an
ore body at greater depth.

going ON at the 1300foot level and
at a distance Of about TOO feet from

The present crosscut was started
