LETS SMELTlnG CONTRACT.
United States Company to Treat All
Nevada-Onnaha's Ores.

SALT LAKE, Dec. 16.-The United
States Smelling Co. of this city has
closed a contract with the Nevada
Omaha Mining Co. for the treatment
of all the ores that come from its
Valley View group of claims in the
Bannock district, upon which 15
leases are being worked. 1t is un-
derstood that a treatment charge of
90 per ton is to be made for the
ores that run $25.
The railroad rate on this grade
will be $3.50, and add to this a
hauling charge of say IS a ton to
Battle Mountain, such r will net
80. There is a possibility that the
wagon haul may be a few dollars
more; however, leasers were pleased
to hear of the low freight and treat
ment charge. There will be some ore
on the road soon. The Bannock Leas-
ing company has ore worth shipping,
and in addition, J.. s. Parker of
Reno, controlling what is called the
Parker lease, but which is being
operated by the Nevada-Omaba Leas-
ing company, has put men to work
taking shipping + from one of the
old tunnels on the Valley View lode.
The ore goes to the smelling COM
pany's plant at Kennett, Cal.

SAYS HE IS
GLAD TO GET BACK
TARIFF BENEFITS US

The Reno Gazette says: With a
color heightened by ocean hreezes
and a smile as sunny as an Italian
sky, United States Senator Nixon
returns to his home state and his
home city after spending three and
a half months in Europe, during
which time he visited the greater
portion of the British Isles, France,
Austria, Germany and Italy.
While the handshake was as
hearty as ever and the smile as
genial as of old, there was an evil
dent sadness back of the genialty
which, to the discerning, gave note
that the senator has, despite his
worldly success, passed the moment
of his greatest loss, that from the
death of the mother whose declin-
ing days were made sacredly sweet
by the realization that the boy of
her maternal love and car had at
tanned to the realization of fond am
billions.
Senator Nixon VIII not return to
| Washington until the first of the
year, although he timed his itinerary
to reach Washington at the opening
Of the session. He will first attend
to many pressing matters of business
in this city and will pay a visit to his
old father and other relatives in Cali
fornia at Christmas tide.
When seen in his private Office in
the Nixon National bank this after
noon the senator said: 1.-THE rest did

can, if possible, than ever before. l

Il am very glad to note the i'm

with considerable interest l have
also noted the general tendency of
the attitude of the American press

course, everyone knows that general
legislation, especially upon such nat
ters as of the tariff, must necessarily
result in the adoption of a compro-
mise measure.
while the Payne bill as enacted
does not contain everything that
everyone wanted, as a whole it is as
good as could have been passed In
view of the many conflicting wishes
of the men who built it and who
voted for it's enactment.
Nevada, however, should find NO
fault, even if she receives no bene-
fit except that accruing through the
sheep industry, as the measure pre-
served the wool schedule, one of the
hardest fought in the bill. Since the
old tariff has been preserved the
sheep industry in Nevada is flourish
ing as it has not for the past dec
ade.
when the first agitation began
there was a depression in the wool
industry because of the possibility,
even probability, of an unfavorable

by far the lowest rate of exhaustion,
which may help to account for its
low valuations. The figures for the
others will doubtless carry their ex-

with them, as it is not the purpose of
this comment to do more than set
forth the comparison of facts.

COAL STRIKE NOT

PRESIDENT OF MINE WORKERS
DECLARES MEN WILL CON-
TINUE TO WORK.

Indianapolis Ind, March 27.-"I
see no prospect of strike in the an
thracite coal fields,'' said President
Lewis of the united mine workers of
America, at the close of yesterdays
session of the national executive
board. The miners will continue at
work indefinitely. That is to say, I'M
less the operators demand a new
agreement to be signed to take the
place of the one expiring April 1, or
that the miners demand the operat-
ors to sign an agreement embodying
the stipulations presented to the OPP
orators at the recent meeting we
had with them in Philadelphia, and
if an open break occurs ON either dis
pute, present conditions will continue
until a day that none of us can set.
Il hope for another conference with
the anthracite operators next week or
the following week. No one can say
that | have ever issued strike state
ment since | have been an official of
the miners union, and / am not going
to issue one now I maintain that
the anthracite operators must deal
with the miners organization as a
whole. but some time will elapse be-
fore a crisis is reached in our negoti-

TARIFF ALMOST
LEADS TO BLOWS
CONGRESSMEN FORDNEY AND
BYRD AT FIGHTING POINT
-CALLED OFF.

Washington, March 27.-The monot
ony of the tariff debate in the house
was relieved for a time yesterday by
a clash between Congressman Ford
ney of Michigan and Congressman
Byrd of Mississippi, which came neal
ending in blows. Mr.. Fordney had
been making an exhaustive discussion
of the lumber schedule when he was
interrupted by the Mississippian who
insisted that the lumber manufac
turers of which Fordney was one
were in a trust. Mr. Fordney peremp
torily denied the statement and said
that Mr.. Byrd didn't know a damn
thing about it,
The Mississippi member made a
move toward Mr. Fordney and was in
the act of removing his coat when
some of his democratic colleagues
took hold of him. Later it developed
that the incident grew out of a mis-
understanding and both men made
mutual explanations and apologies.
Mr.. Fordney made notable speech
in the subject of lumber and pleaded
for better protection on that product
in the rough. Numerically opposed
to him was Congressman Rowland OF
Ohio who wanted the o. oduct placed
on the free list.
Others who spoke were Messrs. Pou
of North Carolina and Macon of Ar
L.
kansas. both of whom arralgned the
Payne bill for not accomplishing what
it was claimed it would do, while Mr.
Humphrey of washington pleaded foi
a tariff on shingles and lumber SUI
ficiently high to enable the lumber
and shingle manufactures of his state
to compete with those of British Cor
umbia employing cheap oriental labor

later to Sinsinawa, in Grant county,
not far from Lancaster, Wis.
Mrs. Boyle, it is stated, will get no
aid from her father, stern old engi-
neer, who has in his time fought
many Chicago fire. Torn with
doubts right along, hoping against
hope that there had been some mis-
take in identification of his daughter,
the old fireman who has retired from
active work and lives with his son,
stole from his home at $50 Cleveland
avenue to seek the solace of his
church. The veteran walked with
bowed head to st. Vincent's church,
where he remained on his knees
throughout the saying of mass.
Those near him heard him repeat
the ave Maria of the rosary.
Holy Mary, mother of God, pray
for us sinners, now and at the hour
of our death. Amen"
Returning to his home the veteran
firefghter became his old stern self.

castro MAY YET
BECOME DICTATOR
LEAVES FRANCE FOR TRINIDAD
WHENCE HE SAILS FOR
VENEZUELA.

Pauillac, France, March 27.-Cipri-
ano Castro, former president of Ven
ezuela, and members of his party left
here at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon
on board the steamer, Guadalupe,
for Port of Spain, Trinidad, where he
is due to arrive April 10.
Mr.. Roy, representative of Paris
firm engaged in the manufacture of
fire arms, who had a long conference
with Castro declared after the Quad
aloupe had left that he sold Castro a
quantity of arms five years ago and
that he was convinced that Castro
would again be dictator of Venezuela
in six months. He intimated that
Castro already had a vessel fitted up
in a European port ready to sail for
Venezuela in the interests of the rev.
olution at moments notice. After
boarding the Guadalupe, Castro ap-
pealed to the agent of the line to al
low his wife and family to continue
on to Venezuela, but he was met with
a fat refusal Just before the lines
were cast off, he summoned a report
er to his cabin. He was raging
against what he termed an outrageous
breach of international law in France
forbidding the owners of the steamer
landing Castro at any Venezuelan
port. and said that this action proves
what towards those in control at
Caracas were.
When he had grown calmer, Castro
asked the Associated Press to an
nounce that after recuperating at
Trinidad he would go to Venezuela.
He said, II am sure the people are
ready to receive me. The Gomez
government seems to exclude me be-
cause it fears tt e country win pro
claim me president
To a direct question as to whether
he intended to organize a revolution,
the former president replied sharply:
mo, my purpose is to return to the
fatherland and live as peaceful cit
izen."

cuss his case in any of its phases
last night, except to say that he ex-
pected to engage a lawyer in a few
days.
The officials questioned the prisoner
about his wifes identity, but other
