THE METAL MARKET.
Decline in Prices Attributed to Un-

Charles McKinnis, manager of the
National and Caledonia mines. re-
turned yesterday from Utah. In
speaking of his trip he stated that the
mining industry in Utah is in high

the decline in the price of copper he
said that 1t is attributed to the un-
settled financial policy of the govern

could hardly be expected until the

THE RIGHT VIEW OF iT.
Hammond Tells Truth About Advs
ing Americans to Leave Mexico.

A Worcester Mass, dispatch Of re-
cent date gives an account of a speech
by John Hays Hammond, in which
he severely criticises the president
and secretary Of state for failure TO
give assurance of protection to Ameri-
can citizens in Mexico, but, on the
contrary, advised them to get out of
the country The dispatch says:
John Hays Hammond, mining ex-
pert, speaking here recently at the
closing session of Clark University
conference on Latin America, declared
he would not invest cent in a foreign
country so long as William J. Byran
was secretary of state. He said any
man who would make a foreign in
vestment was lacking, in sense.
"A nation that does not protect rs
citizens and investors is unworthy Of
the name nation" declared Mr.. Ham
mond, after saying that honest work
ingmen, encouraged to locate in Mexi-
co, had been forced to throw away the
savings of lifetime.

country where their all is located

The principal development on the
Warwhoop is a 10O0-foot crosscut tun-
nel uow being driven to get under big
and characteristic lead silver groupings
on the surface. 1t Is estimated that
300 feet yet remains to run. Nearly
f',t for foot In depth is gained by the
tunnel. The ground so far is not ex-
tremely hard and though the work is
by hand fairly good headway is made
Mr.. Lingenfelter will work there
during the winter, and altogether
three or four men will be employed III
carrying on development. Comfortable
winter quarters are provided and due
arrangements made for continuous
work. The locality is one of good
promise and the particular ledge be-
ing opened at depth has the same
characteristics on and near the sur
face as those which have proved pay

AlLSHiE TO TRY FOR SENATE.
Friends OF Chief Justice Make the An.

/ A recent Boise special makes the
following announcement
Chief Justice James r. Ailshic in
tends to become candidate for Unit
ed States Senator, subject to the will
of the republican primaries. This IS
settled with the friends of the Chief
Justice. who have been circulating
the information In the state They
declare that nothing that can be for
seen now can prevent the Chief JUST
ice from entering the race. They are
not averse to discussing the proba-
bility of the announcement of his
candidacy. which stlll is withheld, and
the possibilities of his nomination
and election.
Primarily, 1t Is said there Is be-
hind Chief Justice Ailshie's candidac
a desire on his part for vindication
from the severe criticism that has
been heaped upon him because of the

the subsequent contempt proceed

| Upon his visit to the northwest
last week President Earring, of the
Chicago. Milwaukee g. st. Paul Rail
way company. manifested much in
terest in the copper properties along
his line on the upper St Joe. 1t Is
stated that he made it known to the
owners of some of the more promi-
nent properties that it would be the
policy of his company to encourage
the development of the st. Joe mines
in every way possible, and this is
construed to mean that when it is
evident that those properties
are prepared to ship ore and are pro-
vented from doing so by lack of trans
portation facilities, the Milwaukee
company stands ready to render as
sistance either In the way of extend
ing branch lines when tonnage In
sight Is sufficient to warrant It, or
constructing wagon roads to proper
ties where the tonnage is small and
where the owners need the returns
from shipments as the only means
of continuing development work
Road to St. Lawrence and Richmond.
1t was stated in these columns A
few weeks ago that the owners of the
st. Lawrence and Richmond had
taken up with the Milwaukee COM
pany the matter of building wagon
road from the railroad to those mines,
| a distance Of probably three miles.
I It is surmised that the announcement
now credited to President Earllng is
in q great measure the result of this
proposition, and it may mean the
carly construction of that road,
Both the st. Lawrence and the
Richmond have shipped considerable,
high grade ore. hauling 1t to the rail-
road at Saltese, distance of six or
seven miles over very bad road and
one that would be very difficult to
keep open during the winter. The
proposed road connecting with the
Milwaukee would be on an easy grade,
with solid roadbeh. and could be
utilized at all seasons.
Many Promising Prospects.
! The Milwaukee affords the natural
outlet for the Stevens Peak section Of
+ the Occur d'Alene district, and no
section Is more prolific in promising
prospects. This Is a continuation ~
the copper belt above Mulan in which
are located the Snowstorm and Ma
tional mines. It's inacccssbility has
long interfcrd with its development,
and 1t is believed that the interest now
manifested by the Milwaukee presi-
dent in the mining properties tribu-
tary TO his line will tend tn renew
activity in that section.
Hiu Elk viii Ship.
There is one property. however. on
the upper st. Joe that does not have
to wait for a branch railroad or wag-
on road to begin ore shipments. That
in the Big Elk located right on the
main line of the Milwaukee. And the
company Is preparing to take advan-
tagc Of its favorable location. Re-
ports from there this week state that
nearly 1000 sacks Of copper of good
grade are ready for shipment, and that
the condition Of the mine is such that
shipments will continue at regular
intervals.

SPECIAL SESSION
FOR DRAINAGE LAW
shosHoNE soLoNs OPPOSE CALL
FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE
LOCAL SENTIMENT.

! When asked for an EXPRESSING on
the proposed extra session of the
legislature, which 1t Is understood
Governor Haines Is considering call
Ing. Senator Walter r. Hanson stated
that when waited upon by the drain
age commission to learn his attitude
he had told the members that he
would favor the call provided the
work of the session was strictly linz
tied to re-enacting the drainage law
with it's defect corrected; otherwise
he was opposed to calling an extra
session. And that Senator Hanson
said, Is his position now. The legis-
lature could meet and remedy the
drainage law in one day, two days
at the outside. and he would favor
doing that, for the drainage law Is
one of great importance to Bonner
county and probably to other coun-
ties. But, continued Mr.. Hanson, to
call special session and throw II
open to general business would be a
useless burden upon the taxpayers
and wholly unjustified. He was un-
qualiledly opposed to the call under
any other condition than that stat
ed to the drainage commission.
Featherstone Holds Same View,
Representative A. r. Featherstone
replying to a request for his views
on the subject, expressed himself in
very similar terms. He would favor
calling a special session for the re-
lief of Bonner county and other coun-
ties affected by the drainage law
but would be opposed to the call IL
the session would be open for gene
raj legislation,
Other Representatives,
Efforts to get an expression from
Representative r. O. Jones. of Kel
logg, failed last night for the reason
that he could not be reached by
phone. The other representative from
this county. M. J. Sinclair, is in AL
aska.
/ Sentiment in Shoshone County.
The matter Of calling special ses-
sion has drawn out little comment in
this county IT is, however, safe to
state that the expressions given above
from the representatives from Sho-
shone county fairly represent the
sentiment of the taxpayers Certain
ly if a session of one or two days can
make operative law which would
make possible the reclamation Of
large tracts Of land in a neighboripg
county, no reasonable taxpayer would
interpose an objection. But a special
session free to enter into all kinds Of
Iegisla tion would undoubtedly be con-
demned by the taxpayers Of Shoshone

counties Of the state The special

UNIQUE CONTRACT TO

JvHN r. MoFFAr AGREES TO FIND
MERclAL ORE, OR RE.
CEivE NO PAY.

John F. Moffatt has taken a con-
tract on the Sonora, the terms Of
which are unusual and prove beyond
question that the contractor has ab-
solute faith in the merits Of the prop
erty. Unusual as the terms are, there
Is nothing complicated about them and
there can be no chance for nisundcr-
standing between Mr. Moffatt and the
company upon final settlement The
contract has been reduced to writing,
but divested of all superfuous words
1t Is simply this: For 100000 shares
of stock in the Sonora Mining COM
pany Mr.. Moffatt agrees to find ore Of
commercial value in the Sonora vein,
he to pay all the expenses with the ex-
ception Of track, air pipe and tools,
which the company agrees to furnish.
Mr. Moffatt is now on the ground with
two good miners, and by the end Of
the week will have preliminary work
completed and work started in the
mine
In taking this contract Mr. Moffatt
will be enabled to work in accordance
with an idea he has long entertained
regarding the development of the prop
erty Several years ago he was FORE
man in charge of the work for the
company. In the course Of this work

regard to the plan of development. The
Inference OF opinions could not be
more pronounced, the management In
ssting upon running south while Mr..
Moffatt was positive that they should
run north. So impressed was he that
the plan adopted was wrong that he
resigned his position and sold his stock,
Of which he had large block, In dis
gust. Events proved that the manage
ment was wrong and it is now up to
Mr.. Moffatt to prove that he Is right.
Much Worked Property.
The Sonora Is situated a short dis

A tremendous amount Of work done
on the property, but for several years
1t has been idle The vein looks fine
and carries more or less galena. but
the net result of the work has been
disappointing. But in spite of this
many have never lost faith in the ulti-
mate value Of the property. One of
these is Mr.. Moffatt and he is show
ing his faith by action. He will begin
where the vein was lost, the point
where he had the disagreement with
