A bill has been introduced in thu
New York legislature to the effect that
III an automobilist runs man down he
must stop and give his correct name
and address. 1t is a pity that neither
the etiquette of the road or plain hui
manity has made this little courtesy
customary, and that it has been found
necessary to invoke the law to con-
slider failure to accord it misde-
rneanor.

 Negotiations are pending for the sale ot the mining property at kasaan Bay, formerly known as the "Poof Mans Mine,' to the Penn Mining Company of Pennsylvania, who have r gently had it examined and reportt d upon by it's expert, Mir. P. c. Stoes,. It is understood that nothing but q difference as to the amount of the cash payment demanded by the own CT to be paid, as it were, in advance stands in the way of a consummatiol of the deal. Jack kiernan is said tt. be the present owner of the prop erty.
 Martin Bugge. who has been engag- ed during ihe last winter and spring Il developing his gold mining prop erty at Smuggler's Cove on Cleveland Peninsula, has suspended operations until such time as he can supply the means for saving the gold carried in the sulphurets which amounts to q rery considerable proportion of the whole amount of the ore mined and nilled. He has opened up the ledge by tunnel to depth of about 75 feet below the outcrop, at which depth 1t carries a width of II feet, all millable ore assaying from six to fourteen dol lars in gold and from which he has taken with his little 2-stamp mill enough gold to cover the cost of de- velupment work thus far accomplish ed. He evidently las in this property the nucleus of a profitable mine, and 10 one better deserves such a reward for the patient perseverance, with which he has pursued the work of de- valup ,nent.

Washington, June 2.-Secretary Taft has given out long statement today stating plainly his desires and intentions at the Chicago Convention. He declares that he expects and wants the convention to endorse the entire policy of the President, believing that only on the lines laid down by Presidut Roosevelt's present policy can the party meet the demands of the nation, and continue its present strong position. The Secretary stated that could he secure the nomination for President, he would pledge himself in his speech of acceptance to carry out, with all his ability the broad policies inaugurated by the present chief executive; that he would con- duct his campaign openly along these lines and that he heartily agreed with the Presidents outlines for fu- ture legislation, especially in his do- nestle policy.
 Washington, June 3.-John Hayes Hammond probably the best known mining engineer in the world, has announced today that he will enter ghe race for the republican nomination i for vice. e-president. He has flrea y started his effort to land the roLina- tion. and has issued call to bis i friends throughout the country to support him. Mr. Hammond has for 1 some time been the chief engineer in the employ of the Guggenheim, draw ing a salary uf half a million dollars year, which he is reported as de- caring too smal for the services he was rendering and which the Guggen- ] helms are said to have offered to raise to s750, GOO per annum. Ham, mond is known all over the world and aas had charge of some of the worlds greatest mining projects. Washing | ron politicians state that if he enters the political ring, he will find that there are more underground workings D politics than in any mine on earth.
 Chicago, June 5. It is definitely lnnounced today that the platform which will he adopted by the Republi. gan convention will contain plank: covering the currency and tariff ques tions that will meet the demads of the most advanced students Of ttese ques tions. It is believed that the agita tion by the press of the tariff question with reference to wood pulp has beer a large factor in shaping the decision of the party leaders to make definite provision in the platform for an earl! readiustment of the schedules. Tht proposed blanks have been aubrittet to President Roosevelt and he ha sgnifed his approval of them.
