THE EASTERN SITUATION.

The New Orleans Picayune, ia
discussing the Eastern question a
week ago. had occasion to remark
although the situation looks
pacific enough at the moment
there are enough combustibles
turned loose by recent events in
the Balkans to start a hrst-class
conflagratIon at the least provo
cation"
The action of Austria Hungary
in annexing Bosnia and Her
zegovina. has violated the
provisions of the Berl n
treaty that grew out of the war
between Russia and Turkey in
IS77-IS7S. The powers represent
ed in that treaty were Germany,
Russia. Turkey. Great Britain,
Austria. France and Italy. The
representatives in that compact
were the greatest statesmen OF
Europe-Prince Bismarck. the
iron chancellor. Disvraeli.the Mar
quis of Salisbury. Lord Russell,
Count Andrassy, Count Carti and
M. Waddington.
Among the achievements of
the Congress as embodied in the
treaty were the independence of
Montenegro. Servia aud Rou-
mania. the erection of Bulgaria
into an autonomous principally
tributary to the Sultan. the con-
stitution of Eastern Roumelia into
a separate province with limited
autonomy and Christian Cover
nor. the placing OF Bosnia and
Herzegovina under the admins
tration of Austria. the regulation
of the navigation of the Danube,
the closing of the Dardanelles to
the warships of all Powers. reforms
in Crete. the according of religious
liberty in Turkey and other re-
forms"
The action of Austria. the de-
clared independence of Bulgaria
have virtually annuiled the pro-
visions ofthis treaty; thrown down
the gauntlet of war to Turkey and
made Servia clamorous for an APP
peal to arms. Crete has severed
its connections with Turkey and
declared its annexation with
Greece. In fact events are trans
piring with such rapidity that it is
difficult to determine when or
where the first blow may fall or
whether the great powers can
avert a struggle involving all the
great empires of Europe. Bulgaria
and Austria are making warlike
Servia is aflame with
the spirit of combat and Bulgaria
is mobiIizing its fighting elements.
In the meantime some of the
great powers are despatching their
sarships to the Aegean sea and
the Bosphorus and the Mediter-
ranean.

LARGE SHELTER
PLANT FOR NEVADA

In discussing the Utah smelter sit
uation, Boston financial paper de-
clares that with the closing of the
Utah Consolidated smelter on New
Years day, practically only one smell
ter was left to smelt copper ores in
the Salt Lake valley-the Garfield
plant of the American Smelling and
Refining Company. This same pub
LEGATION also makes the declaration
that when the United States Company
closes down its copper smelter at
Bingham Junction, it will take steps
to build an entirely new plant in
Nevada; that it will go out of Utah
entirely.
The Miners Smelling Company
a $10,000,0O0 Maine corporation, or
ganized by the Heinze interests just
previous to the Heinze troubles in
New York it is stated, has made
no move toward the erection of its
contemplated plant beyond the pur-
chase of site There is no question,
however, that this smelter will be
built, for Salt Lake capital will help
out in furnishing the necessary
funds. This Heinze company has Sc
cured ten-year contract for the
smelling of all the Silver King Coali-
ton ores upon terms which make
this contract alone of sufficient value
to warrant the building of an indie
pendent smelter.
Then there are the Ohio copper
concentrates and the ores of the
Bingham Consolidated to be treated
as well as the products of many in
dependent mines, all of which would
guarantee tonnage sufficient for the
successful operation of such plant.
A good portion of the Bingham Con-
solidated smelter will be used in the
new Heinze plant, for it is under
stood that the Bingham Consolidated
company has voted to sell its plant
to the Miners company.
The mines of Utah are now de-
pendent upon the Garfield smelter of
the American Smelling and Refining
Company, and that company has no
spare capacity at the present time to
treat outside ores. except where the
mine owners will make five-year con-
tracts upon terms which are consid-
cred onerous."

HIGHER FIRST.

Writing in the Statist, well
known Eastern financial paper, Len
nox has the following to say coll-
corning the copper situation:
Everyone is coming around to my
view that the copper market must go
higher before it goes lower. The
weight of authority is good thing to
have on ones side, but facts don't
change much and any time you see
copper selling under l3 cents 4
pound you can make W. your mind
that some one is losing money. This
state OF affairs will continue just as
long as the price OF all commodities
continue on the present high level.
"All through this country, how
ever, we are going To e curtailment
in every direction Those who are In
reality not poor are going to curtail
and save. Hence lower prices must
come. and before spring all the min
ing labor will be in a much more con-
sentative state of mind than IL Is al

hard times. but all through the pres

THE NEVADA CLUB
AN ORE ROAD.

A traction road between Goldbanks
and Mill City is now being advocated
by mining men interested in the var
ious mining properties in the south
eastern portion of Humboldt county,
says the Silver State. It is claimed
that such a road will shorten the
wagon haul of ore from any of a
dozen districts, including Tobin, Ken
nedy, Goldbanks and Boyer, at least
81 miles. The only road that can be
used at present is the road to Win
nemucca, which is 81 miles further
from Goldbanks than Mill City, Love-
lock is a near railroad point, nearer
than Mill City, but the high East
range of mountains makes shipping
to this point impossible. The divide
in this range on the Lovelock road
is at Muckelberry Hill, and the grade
here is very heavy.
Such are the statements OF j. NJ.
O'Brien, the well known operator and
broker. who is interested in various
properties in Nye, Humboldt and
Churchill counties, and who is also 4
member of the Healy-O 'Brien broker
age firm of San Francisco. Mr..
O'Brien, with his brother, w. s.
O'Brien, superintendent of the Rex
and June Wonder mines at Wonder,
Fred Heutel, professor of mineral
ogy, and Attorney Callahan, were In
Winnemucca last Saturday in connec-
ton with the recent session of the
District Court.

HAMILTON HOPES
TO GET RAILROAD

S. F. Hunt. manager of the Nevada
Lead Company's mines at Hamilton,
arrived in Ely last evening. expecting
10 spend the holidays here.
Mr.. Hunt reports mining opera
lions at Hamilton as being carried
steadily forward and states that most
OF the companies operating there have
laid in their winter supplies and will
go ahead taking out ore. preparatory
to heavy shipments in the spring.
Most of the operators in Hamilton
believe that the proposed Ely-Tono-
pah railroad will find it to its profit
to go by way Of Hamilton; both be-
cause of the easy grades that route
affords and the heavy tonnage It
would secure at that point.
In the opinion of those who have
looked the ground over, Hamilton
would be the heaviest shipper of any
intermediate camp on the proposed
route. there being hundreds of thou
sands of tons OF low-grade ore on the
old dumps that could be shipped at a
profit as we'll a. the output from the

all know what that means-at least
such of US as are acquainted with life
at the mines do.
But the copper that is now being
manufactured will be sold at much
higher prices for the reason that the
producers have the whip hand, hav-
ing production well to the weather
side of consumption, and hence the
control of the market
'Amalgamated is beginning to feel
the weight of the uncertainty about
the dividend, The closing down #
the company's timber properties
means that the company is not going
to push development work during the
winter months.
There are suspicious in some
quarters that big bear campaign
will soon be started for the purpose
of giving the insiders low stock. /
don't believe it, for | think that the
insiders have accomplished such pur-
pose long time since. Some of the
extraordinarily smart bear element
that went short of the issue above

terest really starts in to do so there
will be some fireworks in Amalgam-
ated. The issue looks heavy at the
present time. / estimate that it will

TO BUILD AN OIL
BURNING SHELTER

With the advent of the new year,
work has commenced in the mines
st Wonder with renewed VICAR. This
assured by the fact that the miners
gbf the district have been relieved of
fthe necessity of looking after annual
assessment work for outsiders. 1t is
estimated that the annual work re-
quired in this direction cost no less
than $4,000. Some even place the
figures higher, taking into account as
they do the stretch of country lying
between the Fairview district and
Wonder.
Scarcely foot of this territory, II
miles in length, between the rival
camps is open to location. The hill
sides look as though a lot of pre-
historic gophers had been grubbing
in them.
Apropos of the smelters, C. M.
Lane, who, with Colonel Coyle, has
the Coyle-Lane lease on the group of
claims owned by Judge Ross near
the Yankee Doodle ground, has be-
come interested in an oil-burning
smelter which he predicts will solve
the problem of the Nevada mines. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Lane, who left Wonder
for Goldfield few days ago, the new
smelter has passed out of the ex-
detrimental stage. He asserts that
even after the exorbitant freight
rates on crude oil have been paid
from Bakersfield to Reno, it will still
be possible to cut under the trust
charges for treating ore from 81 to
81 a ton.
The object of his visit to Goldfield
is to secure the cooperation of the
Goldfield mine owners. According to
his present plans he will erect one of
the oil-burning smelters near Hazen,
which, he thinks, will be a central
point in the mining industry of the
State for a century.
Mr.. Lane contends that the ques-

that fully 30 per cent more silica may
be contained in the ore than under

centage of lead near Wonder was
especially gratifying to him. He re-

Mrs. ThdW Caught Evelyn
Smoking and That Started

FINANCIAL PROVISION
FOR EX-CHORUS GIRL

Pittsburg, Feb. 21.--Little surprise
a. manifested in Iittsbufg today
over the report from New York that
there is friction between Evelyn Mes
bit Thaw and her husband, Harry
Kendall Thaw, and that the couple
will soon be legally separated A
story is in circulation here that an
action for the annulment of the mar
riage viii be brought in the courts of
Allegheny county,
1t is said that the annulment action
is to be brought in order to avoid the
scandal that IA divorce would bring
The action Will, it is said, be brought
on the ground that Harry Thaw was
not mentally competent when he mar
ried Evelyn Nesbit, any more than
he was when he killed stanford
White.
1t is asserted by those close to the
Thaws that, prior to the last trial,
all arrangements had Oeen completed
for the annulment of the marriage in
case Thaw was acquitted on the
ground of insanity, Months before
Mrs william Thaw had detectives on
the trail of Evelyn, it IS asserted, and
two men shadowed her day and night.
While Evelyn and Harry were living
in the home of Mrs. Thaw prior to
the murder, Mrs. Thaw discovered her
daughter-in-law smoking a cigarette
i'm the seclusion Of ner boudoir. That
was the beginning of the end of the
eX-chorus girl, it is asserted.
The most bitter feeling is declared
10 exist between the members of the
Thaw family and Harry Thaw's wife,
and now that the trial is over and
the Thaws have no more use for the
girl, she Is to be thrown over COM
pletely 1t is asserted here. Mrs.
Harry Thaw will be well provided for
financially as arrangements to that
end are salN to have been made be-
fore sne went on the stand at the last
trial 10 tell the story that undoubted-
ly saved Harry Thaw from the cleo
tric chair.
