May C (Special Correspond ence) Methodism marked tho closing year of the century nnd the opening of Its' itwonty-thlrd rjuadrcnnlnl delegated general conference In the Auditorium at Chicago on Wednesday by admitting tho laymen In equal numbers nnd with equal powers with tho clorgy In tho supremo legislative, cxccutlvo mid Judicial body of the church. Tho struggle, whoso first frulls of victory wore obtained by tho laity In 1S72 In par tial lay representation In" tho general con ference of that and succeeding years, has lieon waged for a generation and has now culminated In equal representation. Thero was not n dltwcntlng vote) on tho part cither of the ministers or of thoso laymen who TVorti elected under tho constitution as it previously existed, whon on tho opening day of tho conference It was asked; on bo lutlf of the 103 laymen who had been pro visionally olcctcil, that tho constitution bo changed at onco so that thoy might bo ad mitted immediately to this general confer ence. The necessary legislative proceduro nnd tho debates in respect to tho matter wur largely conducted by thoso great ohurchuuu who aro known by Methodists nil over tho world nnd wheso names tiro well j dicato tho election of six now bishops, remembered by tuo people or Nebraska Who watched tho proceeding of tho gen oral conferenco In Omaha eight years ago Dr. Iiticktey, Dr. Needy and Dr. Leonard. It Is need li cm to zny that Dr. Huckley took Ills full part In tho proceedings anil that, while there wero many sharp and keen passages at nrniB, thci matter was conducted in a highly eiodltablo nnd Christian states manlike manner. When Mm constitutional change hnd been effected uud it was moved to seat tho 105 provisional lay dolegatiw, it was expected that trouble might nrlso over tho "woman question" becnuso ono of tho "laymen" who It.vl been elected was n woman Mrs. Mc Mahan of Illinois but she nerself solved ho problem by withdrawing nnd asking that her reservo, a man, bo seated. If all tho women who would bo elected had tho good sense nnd tho self-abnegation of Mrs. Mc.Mnhnii of Illinois tho objections to seat ing women In legislative bodies would soon vanish. Speaking of Dr. nuckley's management of tho general conference on tho question of oqunl representation, ono of tho Chicago papers says that ho handled tho subject and tho vottw in a way that was nt once Napoleonic and Chcatorllc ldlan. Another paper announced that Dr. Buckley Is now In sewtnn at tho Auditorium. The Chicago local cntettnlnment commit tee, under the leadership of Judgo Horton of the circuit court, has mailo very hos pitable and comfortnblo provision for tho entertainment of the conference.

It was erpected that the Ollt Fdge mine, located in this same district, would com mence shipping ore to tho smelter In a short time, but olnco tho death of Colonel M, II.

Tho Golden Reward company Is making an Interesting experiment trying to llnd a way to dispose of tho great quantities of slag that como from the smelter. Thero hns been a lack of room for the last few j ears nt tho Ftneltlng work for dumping tho slag. It Is now hoped thnt a way hos been found which will granulate tho slag and send It down tho creek. As the slag Is dumped down the bank, a Jot of water Is thrown on It, under high pressure When the cold water strikes tho molten sing, tho lat ter breaks up Into very small pnrtlcles, which can bo carried down by the forco of the creek.

The polish that the mnrblo Is capablo of taking Is remark able. There are about twenty feet of pure white on tho top layer nt tho ledgo and a shaft sunk lower than that has shown ten feet of serpentine marble, which is green and white in color. How much deeper this celored ledgo goes has not been determined yet. A diamond drill has been purchased in Omaha and ns soon nB it arrives n liolo will bo bored through'tho formation for 100 feet or more, wlitch will determine the nmount of marble. Too stoao Is very highly crystal lized and when It Is exposed to tho sun It sparkles like diamonds, Tho;e who have ex amined tho ledgo can sco ns a result a large payroll of stono-workers for Custer county. It is necessary to build two miles of now wagon rond in order to get across the marshy places In the valley. That there Is merit lu the company's project Is shown by the fact thnt tho Burlington company has guaranteed to put In a ppur of rond to the quarry. Tho marble company has timbered up tho shaft on tho kaolin einy vein to a depth of twenty-live feet nnd work will. soon com menco sinking on the clny. Another mica mine has been purchased by the company.
