TONOPAH MINING.

A total of 1864 feet of develop
ment work was recorded in the I'M
derground workings of the Tonopah
Mining company during the week.
The Mizpah is credited with 1881
feet, the Silver Top with 142 and
the Red Plume with Sc feet. The
south station at the 150O-foot point
in the Mizpah shaft is being cut and
is now in about II feet. The north
crosscut at the 15O6-foot point is in
about eighteen feet with no change
in the formation, rhyolite and dacite
still showing in the face
The regular stopping operations
are being conducted on the 200 and
300-foot levels on the Mizpah and
Mizpah fault lodges.
400-foot level-The south cross
from the main east drift was sent
ahead during the week for prospect
ing purposes. The face is in ande-
site. The northwest drift under the
Mizpah fault is in broken quartz of
practically no value.
500-foot level-An east drift has
been driven from the northeast
crosscut from the main east drift,
which is following from two to three
feet of broken quartz carrying low
values. The south crosscut from
the main east drift, 100 feet east
of the shaft, is being driven for the
purpose of trying out the footwall.
The north crosscut, which is being
driven from the inter level between
the 500 and 600-foot levels west OF
the Brougher shaft, has intersected
two feet of quartz carrying mill
values. This quartz was lying or
the contact between the rhyolite ant
dacite.
Stopping is being carried or
throughout the mine on the variou:
levels east and west of the shat

Red Plume-The north crosscu
from the east drift on the 600-foo
level, has intersected between on,
and two feet of quartz carrying
values. The crosscut is being sen
ahead further to the north for pros
pecting purposes. The west drift
which has been showing some mill
ing ore during the past week, ha
lost the same on a fault. An effor
is now being made to pick up tn
vein extension to the west.
Silver Top, 140-foot level-Th
west drift from the south crosscu
is being sent ahead on from one t
two feet of quartz carrying low val
ues.
340-foot level-The south cross
cut is being continued from tn
main east drift for the purpose G

five feet in width. A raise has been
sent up on the vein twenty-five feet
from an old stope in the westerly
workings, the top of which shows
two feet of ore which likewise can
not be handled and consequently the
work has been suspended.

All Summer Session.

That the special session OF con.
gress 10 be called in March. for the
purpose OF revising the tariff will be
prolonged far into the summer and
possibly into the fall months, Is the
belief Of the leaders of the house
who have been advised OF the many
problems that have been presented
for the solution of the Republican
members of the committee on ways
and means.
Not only are the numbers of the
committee finding it difficult to reach
an agreement on important schedules,
but it Is already apparent that the
house will insist upon a full and free
discussion when the tariff bill is pre-
sented for consideration.
The situation is disquieting to the
Republican leaders. They appreciate
the necessity of early action, but from
present indications protracted debate
on the subject in the house will be
followed by equally material deliber-
alton on the part of the senate. Then
will come the wrangle in conference.
Speaker Cannon has refused TO
make any engagements for July, as
he expects congress to be in session
until the 18th of that month, and in
all probability for some time after
wards.

Castro Not Deposed Yet.

That the new government of Vene
zuela must bring judicial prosecu'
ton in a criminal court against Cipri
ano Castro, self-exiled president OF
that country. in order to encompass
his deposition officially, was stated by
Count Luigi Aldrovandi, who arrived
in New York from Caracas on the
steamship Zulia.
THE actual political situation In
Venezuela today is a peculiar one,
said Count Aldrovandi. Castro is
still the official president OF that
country under the terms of the Vene
guelan constitution. In order to make
Gomez the constitutional president. il
will be necessary TO impeach Castro
on criminal count, and ! understood
that in order to do this a judicial
prosecution will be brought against
him, based on his alleged action In
cabling to p. NJ. Cardenas, then a de-
partmental governor, an order for the
killing Of Gomez during the riots that
followed Castro's departure from Car
acas."

THE BATTLE CREEK
FIRES |NCENO|ARY
INVESTIGATING THE BURNING
OF THE HAskELL HOME
FOR ORPHANS.
A MYSTERIOUS PRoWLER
Belief That the Building Was Fired
by An Inoendiary Is Held by the
Adventists Generally.

Investigation of the fire which de-
Dtroyed the Haskell Home for Or
phans, in Battle Creek, and cost the
lives of Lena McClevy, Cecil Coutant
and George Goodenow, has begun un'
der the leadership of Fire Chief
Weeks and Chief Of Police Harrington.
The latter is working on the theory
of incendiarism the former is in
clined to think the cause was acct
dent, even though beyond explanation
Mrs. r. s. Owen, wife of the home
superintendent, gave the police a tip
when she mentioned the fact that a
few nights previous to the fire she
heard man proving around the low
er floors She called her husband
but the stranger disappeared before
Owen reached the scene. Not sus.
pecting firebug or burglar, the
superintendent did not hurry.
The ruins will be guarded from now
on, and sightseers kept from the site
the police wishing nothing to be dis
turbed until more thorough search
for bodies is made. Fire Chief Weeks
believes the victims were inciner
ated. and that exhaustive digging will
bring no results.
That the building was fired by an
inceudiary is the general belief OF
the Adventists and light is desired on
the cause of this tragedy-and of the
other unexplained disasters which
have followed west side institutions
connected at one time with the
Seventh Day Adventist church. With
out positive proof, save in two in
stances, 1t is believed that most OF
these fires which have caused prop
erty loss Of nearly 100000, were
incendiary. The confession of a wo
man, matter of record with santa
rum officials. that was withheld from
general publicity enables the destruc
ton of the Sanitarium Health Food
plant, July 10, 1898. to be officially
rated as the work of an incendiary
Evidence at the coroners inquest
following the burning of the sani-
tarium stables, May Is. 1903, also de-
veloped clear case of incendiarism
Arrests were made in this instance
but the prosecutions were not pushed
with any great zeal Circumstantial
evidence suggested, almost to a Ger.
tainty, that the Review and Herald
fire. Dec 30. 1902, was caused by an
incendiary. though no public investi.
cation OF this 100000 blaze was ever
made. The Adventist church was
openly gratified by the Review and
Herald's destruction, for it was fol
lowed by the evacuation OF Battle
Creek by the greater majority of the
Adventist printers, editors and cleo.

Mot Afraid of a Ghost.

In village in England. a month or
so ago, a man came running into an
inn at nine o'clock at night and cried
out that there was ghost In his back
yard. There were IA men in the inn,
and not one Of them dared to go home
with the man and investigate. There
was person who dared, however. and
that was the landlords daughter. a girl
of IA. Some of the men followed her
at distance, and she went into the
yard and up to the ghost tapping its
arms about, and discovered-what ?
That it was no more nor less than a
mans white shirt Tapping on the
clothes line in strong breeze. That's
about the way all ghosts turn out

Good Rules.

Two striking amendments to the
senate rules. both of which were pre-
pared by Vice-President Fairbanks
were introduced In the senate by Mr.
Lodge and were referred to the com
mittee on rules.
Their effect is to prevent a senator
from referring extensively to either
the president OF the United States
courts, or to the house OF representa-
tives, and to put an end to the reading
of documents which have no bearing
upon subjects under discussion, where
the reading Is for the sole purpose oil
advancing a fiilibuster.
The proposed rules are as follows
When the reading of a paper Is
called for and objected to, or when
the reading of paper by senator Is
objected to, such objection shall be
determined by a vote of the senate
without debate"
No senator In debate shall refer
extensively to either OF the other co
ordinate departments OF the govern
ment or to the other branch of con
gress."

A "Wet" and "Dry" Fiqht.

The spring elections In Washtenaw
county will be enlivened by a local
option battle. There has been a
warm fight, in which SGT original sign
ers Of local option petitions, after
vainly striving to get the board OF
supervisors to recognize their counter
petition, after they had turned wet"
took the matter to the circuit court
and asked mandamus to compel the
board to reconvene and consider their
counter petition, Judge Kline this
morning filed his petition, claiming
that as the board had acted upon the
petitions, he was constrained to hold
such action final. He therefore de-
MED the mandamus and discharged
the order to show cause. In closing,
Judge Kline summed the present sit
uation prevailing all over the state,
as follows:
There can be no denial OF the fact
that public sentiment and conscience
upon the subject Of temperance have
been deeply aroused through alleged
misconduct of certain liquor dealers.
Such misconduct has seriously injured
other parties engaged in the same
business who strive to have the law
obeyed.
Il am not responsible for the en-.
actment Of these laws. but they exist,
and there is no excuse for their vio-
lation. For those engaged in that
business there Is but one safe course,
to obey the law Or quit the business"

Sir Robert Hart, for many years in
spector general of Chinese customs,
has made a striking suggestion as to
the possible future of China. The
world has long wondered what would
happen if that great country of AGO.
100000 people should awake TO its full
power and stand up like giant among
nations. Sir Roberts idea is reassur-
ing. The Chinaman is a lover of
peace. China would turn round to the
rest of the world and say, Gentlemen.
there must be no more fighting" The
strongest nation would become bene-
ficent policeman. keeping us little fel.
lows in order. Sir Robert says that ii
is curious statement, but not SO un-
reasonable as IL seems to those who do
not know China.

with accepting a bribe of 500 from
Gen. Fred w. Green, OF the Acme

Prosecutor Reece told the court that

Everybody was anxious 10 see the

on account of the smallness OF the

The change made in the third count

how long they will stay covered or
who will get on his trail, says the Bal

they are digging for the new Toronto
water works, the diggers found in the
blue clay 20 feet below the water line
the footprints of gentleman who had
tramped around that way some years
ago. The biologists disagree as to the
exact time, some holding that the
freshness of the footprints indicates
That it was only $4,000 years ago, while
others believe that the toe-nail prints
indicate that it has been about 100 900
years since the gentleman passed that
way. Not that this slight discrepancy
matters to the gentleman or to us; for
nobody had to sit on the fence there
and wait for him $4,000 years, even il
he did happen to be late.

Secret Service Duties.

IL falls to the lot of the secret serv-
Ice. too, to protect the person of the
president of the United States--a re-
sponsibility that was first placed upon
this division after the tragedy at Buffa-

of distinguished and titled official Wis
itors from abroad is intrusted to the

Prince Fushimi of Japan, the crown
prince of Siam, the crown prince of
Sweden, the duke OF AbruZzi, and
many others of lesser note have been
carefully protected from annoyance
while guests OF the nation, and in no
instance has there occurred the slight
est incident TO mar the pleasure and
tranquility of their visit. For more
than ten years the merit system has
prevailed in the service, which is
a strictly non-partisan, non-political or
ganization Pulls" are unknown and
unrecognized; every man is measured
and rewarded according to his efficien-
cy and knows that his retention in the
service depends wholly upon the char
acter and quality OF his work. He
wastes no time lining up influence" to
help him hold his job, and being free
from obligations and entanglements,
is able to devote his whole time and
energy to the impartial discharge of
his duties. To this unhampered atten-
ton to the work of suppressing coun-
terfeiting says writer in the National
Magazine, attribute the fact that to-
day the proportion OF counterfeit
notes in circulation is aboue one TO
100000; that is to say, that for each
half-million of genuine currency in cir
culation there are about five dollars in
counterfeit notes; and for each $780,
900 dollars in gold and silver in circu-
lation there is a trifle under three dol
ars in counterfeit coin. All of which
would suggest that the business Of
counterfeiting is not overwhelmingly
attractive as financial proposition.

The custer proceedings of the state
os Texas against the American Book
company came to an abrupt termin
alton at Austin by an agreed judg
ment being entered in favor of the
state for $4,000 penalties and custer
from the state.
One OF the principal reasons for the
action of the state for compromising
was that the company has no prop
erty in the state which could be
levied on in case that larger penal
ties were obtained. The state sued
for penalties approximating three
million dollars.
