1t is declared that wonders are be-
ing performed by new concentrating
process that has been installed at the
Glasgow and Western Company's mill
at Golconda, Nevada, says the Salt
Lake Herald 1t is known as the NJ.
Qucstin process and is declared to be
an absolute reversal of the usual wet
methods of separating the metals from
the gapgue in the ore. While the pro-
cess mas been receiving a thorough
testing on number of kinds of ore
for some time past, there has been
nothing made public concerning it, To-
cally at least. Yesterday morning r..
G. Thompson, who has been on a trip
to Gold Circle, Nevada, spent Sunday
at the works of the Glasgow and West
ern Company at Golconda, and it is to
him that the Herald is indebted for
the statement of what is going on.
"When / was at that plant said
Mr.. Thompson, a test run was being
made on copper ore from Yerington
and / was told that it was proving
most successful. Tests have been
made on most of the ores from Ely
and while / cannot speak with author
ity, | was given the impression that
there is every likelihood that the pro-
cess will be installed in the mammoth
plant of the Nevada Consolidated Cum
berland Ely companies at McGill. It
is claimed for the process, first, that it
costs less than any other to install; !;
second, that it costs little for powc-
and men to operate. and third, that it
affects saving in certain classes of
ore that no other known process can
approach. With this process the light
or the ore the heavier the gangue the
better, but it does remarkably fine
work on sulphides as WELL / am not a

THE JAPANESE MAY
BUILD OUR FORTS
Orientals Said to Be Lowest Bidder
for Contracts in Hawaii.

WASHINGTON, January 13.-The
war department has not been informed
as yet of the reported Withholding of
the contract for the building of the
Notifications in Hawaii, for the reason
that the Japanese were really the low
est bidders.
Investigation here shows that only
limited amount of Foundation work
is now in progress there and the Off
cials see no reason why any line should
be drawn on account of the nationality
of those who do the work, the nature
of which cannot be concealed, so that
they would hesitate before they re-
jected the lowest bid on that account.
The principal work now on hand in
Hawaii consists in the concentration
of two sets of mortar batteries for
which Congress has specifically appro-
priated $300,000 One of these bat
teries is located at Diamond Head the
great promontory commanding the en-
trance to the harbor at the entrance
to Pearl Harbor.
In addition to these large works
there are gun emplacements near quar-
ant'ne and along the water front of
Honolulu. This years estimates con-
template the expenditure of $l,110,000
to perfect the fortifcation of the
Sandwich Islands, and for that amount,
it is said, an impregnable naval base
can be situated ON the island Of Oahu.
A breakwater ia under construction
in Hilo bay, on the Island of Hawaii,
but this is not complete. Honolulu
md Pearl Harbor are the only harbors
vhch now could be used by naval
vessels.

TO QUIT CUBA
EARLY NEXT YEAR
Taft, in Letter to Roosevelt, Fixes
Time in fhe Surin0

Time in the Spring.
WASHINGTON, January 14.-As
far as he can, Secretary Taft has CON-
mitted the government to a promise
to withdraw completely from Cuba
in the beginning of the spring of 1909.
This pledge is contained in a letter
from Secretary of War Taft to the
President, transmitting the report of
Governor Mongoon for the past year
After directing that the report show
conditions in Cuba to be encourag
ing, Secretary Taft says: cit is hoped
by some that the sensus may be com
pleted in September last. I did not
think 50, and I am not a bit surprised
to learn that the sensus has not yet
been completed, and probably will not
not be until May or June. This will
postpone the local election until June
December, and the installation of the
president and congress and the turn
ing over of the island until about
March or April, 1909.
This is in compliance with our prom
Use when we assumed temporary con-
troll of Cuba, and it seems to me as
though we ought not to allow any
thing to interfere with our carrying out
that promsie. There are important
interests that would be glad to delay
our departure for years, but good
faith and good judgment requires us
to leave at the appointed time"
The report of Governor Mogoon con-
stitutes an exhaustive history of the
American intervention in Cuba and of
the passing of the island under Ameri-
can control.

Of VIM. NJ. Toles against the North

land involved is situated in township
43 n. R. 3. E. B. NJ. Toles made set
uement on the land in July 1901, and
1t was at this time in an unsurveyed
state. In October 1901 the Edward
Rutledge Lumber company filed scrip
on the land, and when the plats were
filed in October 8, 1905. and Toles
offered his homestead application II
was rejected for being in conflict
with the scrip fled. He APPEALED to
the commissioner, and a hearing was
ordered. The officers at the hearing
found that he had settled upon the
land on the date claimed, but found
from the evidence that he had after
the filing of the scrip failed to culti-

land as required by the homestead

him. The officers base their decision
