sPokANE's MARKET REPORT

There is an increased demand in
produce lines, owing to the fact that

week. The following changes are
noted: Advances-Sugar, lemons and
oranges. Declines-Butter, cheese,
onions, lettuce, spinach, cucumbers,
asparagus, wheat and hogs.
Provisions.

clined l cents on the local market this

from Csc to 2Sc.
Eggs-The egg market shows a lit
tie better tone as to prices, the supply
not being so plentiful as a few weeks
past.

in the poultry market as to prices and
the supply seems to be adequate for
demands.
Dressed Meats-Beef prices are
holding firm at former quotations and
business of a s~easonable nature is re-

pretty well cleaned up on the local
market and prices are ruling strong
at last weeks quotations. The season

reach the maximum limit by June IS.
A recent strike in the Sidney mine,
on Pine creek, near Kellogg, Idaho,
shows II feet of ore on the face of
the ~crosscut, a part of which is of
clean shipping galena, with over a foot
of solid zinc showing at the extreme
wall. 1t is reported that the owners
have refused $4,000 for the prop
erty.
Four feet of shipping ore was UNI
covered in the Roberts lease in the
old workings of the upper Bunker Hill
claims at Warner, Idaho, last week,
the ore body being found after follow
ing a small tale lead for several hun
dred feet. The shoot opened is in
virgin territory, not even p%rospected
in the early days by the Bunker Hill,
and the ore is high grade, a consider
able part of it being of sufficient value
to ship direct.
Great interest was manifest in
Butte mining circles this week over
the decision of the circuit court of
appeals at San Francisco holding that
James M. Hyde's process in use in the
Butte & Superior Co.'s plant is not an
infringement of the patent of the Min
erals Separation Co, Ltd, and revers-
ing the federal district court. The de-
cision is far reaching in it's effect and
means a saving of about $780, 900 a
year to the Butte e Superior Co., for
the company would have been forced
to pay about that amount annually In
royalties had the lower court been sus-
tanned.
There is reported to be consider
able activity in Lakeview, Mont, min
ing circles, among them being the
blocking out of 2 1000, 900 worth of ore
by the Weber mine above the 500
foot level, the showing of a 4O-foot
shoot on the Venezuela mine that
carries values in silver-lead ore as
high as $50 per ton, and the Shooneah
mine shows an ore shoot wherever
opened along the vein to be Is feet
wide and 900 feet long. A 3,OOO-foot
tunnel is being run to tap this big
ore shoot about 1000 feet deep.

TO CAPTURE CITY FROM
HUERTA'S MEN.
THOUSANDS OF SOLDIERS IN ACTION
Blazing Oil Tanks Furnish Light by
Which Rebels Pour in Deadly Aim
of 20 Field Guns-AlI Americans
Are Reported Safe.

Juarez.-The most desperately
fought battle of the present Mexican
revolution was fought Monday at Tam,
pico, according to reports reaching
constitutionalist headquarters here.
Some of the oil wells and tanks are
burning and a portion of the town is
on fire.
All Americans, it is said here, have
been taken aboard the United States
warships, but other foreigners are
scattered throughout the oil we'll dis,
trict. 1t was this section of the bat
tlefield that the United States govern
ment suggested should be made a neu-
trail zone. The constitutionalist gen
erals refused to adopt this suggestion.
By the light of the blazing oil tanks,
fired by stray shots, the rebel artil-
lerymen hurled shot after shot from
20 heavy field guns into the strongly
.entrenched position held by General
Ignacio Morelos Zaragoza, the federal
commander, in the center of town,
sweeping the b~reastworks with a hail
of shrapnel in an Effort to open the
way for a dash by General Pablo Con
zales' infantry.
Rebels on Equal Terms.
For the first time in the fighting
between the men of Huerta and Car
rama, the constitutionalists we're on
equal terms with the federals in the
matter of artillery. The 20 French
field guns captured by General Con
zales at Monterey and placed in po-
sition before Tampico have done ire
mendous execution, the French shrap-
mel bursting with the utmost precision
sharp contrast to the homemade
shells used by Villa in his battles
about Torreon.

Other Vegetables-There has been
several changes as to prices in the
vegetable line this week, among which
is noted green onions down sc, lettuce
down 10c, spinach off hc, rhubarb up
Bc, cucumbers down rs, asparagus off
&c and turnips are now in market and
iobbing at 40c per dozen.
Grain, Flour and Feea.
Wheat-The wheat market shows a
considerable slump this week, blue
stem dropping to SOhc from 83kc club
to 76hc from 78hc and red Russian
to 75Rc from 77Rc. The situation of
the wheat market is characterized as
practically without movement, al
though there is some business doing
in the making of engagement for flu
ture delivery.
Flour-The quietness in the -four
situation that has prevailed for som
time past still continues and there has,
in fact, been nothing of moment in the
local situation for many weeks out
side of the boost in the price recorded
in these columns a couple of weeks
ago.
Feed-The weak tendency in the
feed market that has prevailed for
some time still holds on and there is
no business of magnitude, buyers
only laying in sufficient supplies to
meet current needs, as vegetation will
soon be advanced enough to provide
adequate p~asturage.

to give the strikers, mine operators
and citizens, n more chance to sur.
render the arms voluntarily.
All told there we're 725 arms re.

largely, and citizens surrendered many

ficers considered truly serviceable
were received.
AS each gun was surrendered a re-
ceipt was made out in triplicate. One
copy of the receipt went to the Uni
ted Mine Workers of Americas Off
GERS here, another to the owner of the
weapon and the third was kept by the
army officer. No intimation was Civ
en- by the officers in charge as to what
will become of the weapons ultima
tely, except the assurances that the
arms will not be given out again by
the troops to any save their rightful
owners. Possibly they will be confis-
Gated by the federal government.
The situation has assumed the most
serious aspect since the arrival of the
federal troops.
1t has been learned that the mine
guards now in the employ of at least
n company would be retained and
given work on the property. This, and
the fact that NJ machine guns were
among the arms delivered, serves to
a feeling of unrest on the part
OF the strikers, who have declared the
machine guns must be taken from the
mine operators.
