The future trading act levies q tax

Of q board of trade which has been
designated by the Secretary Of Agrtcal-
ture AZ contract market In accord
ance with the provisions of the act.
The act requires, among other things,
a. q condition precedent to designa-
ton as q contract market. that the
board Of trade make provision .or 49,

thorized representative of any CO.
operative association of producers hav-
ing adequate financial responsibility,
and also to make and file, or require
tn members to make and file, reports
Of transactions on the board. as re-
quired by the Secretary of Agriculture:
The courts order restraints the board
from making provision for such admis-
sion and from making or requiring Its
members to make such reports pend
ing final decision of the case. 1t also
restraints the Secretary OF Agriculture
during the tendency OF the LITIGATION
from refusing to designate the board
as q contract market because OF its
failure to comply with these two pro-
visions Of the act, and expressly au-
thorizes him to designate the board
without requiring such compliance.

Shortage of Gasoline and Other Sup
plies Forced Suspension.
1t was learned this week that work
has been suspended at the St Law
renee, due to exhausting the supply
of gasoline to drive the compressor
and also to the shortage of other sup
plies. The property is situated near
the summit of the Idaho-Montana di-
vide. where the snow is still 10 or II
feet deep. For this reason it is i'm
possible to take up the necessary
supplies, and it may be go days be-
fore the snow is gone sufficiently to
permit passage with a load over the
road After showing up continuous
ere for several hundred feet in the
east drift, it is stated that Manager
n. NJ Lancaster sunk about 10 feet
on showing of ore the width of the
drift and which apparently widened
in the floor of the drift and that the
bottom is still in solid ore. The sink
ing was done at the place from which
the ore displayed in the window of
the Occur d'Alene Hardware & Foun-
dry company was taken.

In a mountain near Montalban, Lu-

large cavern, with many branching
chambers, and a central dome 200 feet
in height perforating the mountain
top. from which, in December last an
American officer saw issue a solid col
umn of baats which flew rapidly, in a
straight line, for Is minutes, disap-
pearing over a mountain range in the
direction of Manila, without a single
bat having left the column. Ameri-
can engineers stationed there told the
officer that the flight of the bats had
occurred at practically the same time
each day, during two years. From
other sources it was learned that the
had been observed for at
least 80 years.

Company Declares Dividend of Two
Cents Per Share.
At meeting of the directors of the
Marsh Mines Consolidated last week
a dividend of two cents per share was
declared. payable June 20 to stock
holders of record June 10. This dis
/ bursement is made from the funds
received in settlement of the litiga-
ton with the Hecla company. At the
meeting of stockholders a few days
before the treasureTs report showed
cash balance of sS7299.OS and Lib
erty bonds valued at S24OO making a
total of $S9,699. The disposal of this
money was submitted to a vote of
stockholders. the question being sub
mitted in the form of a resolution to
the effect that no dividend be declar-
ed and that the matter be left to the
Judgment of the trustees of the COM
pany. This resolution was defeated,
the vote being 1873. 200 in favor Of it
and SS44O3 against it. With this
showing of sentiment, the directors a
few days later proceeded to declare a
dividend as stated. It is said that
at the meeting of stockholders the
statement was made by F. Cushing
Moore, engineer and director of the
company, that the vein had been
picked up east of the fault in the Rus /
sell claim and that if it maintained /
its course the apex will cross the /
north side line of the Russell claim .
about 100 feet west of the northeast
corner. From this it appears that
the company probably acted more
wisely than they knew in making a
settlement with Hecla, for the condi-
ion of a further hearing in the fed
'ral court was a positive showing
hat the apex of the vein passed
through the east end line of the Rus
ell claim. s
The old officers and directors of the !
iarsh company were reelected. [
