CIIICAtiO. 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 has pro
vided tho great Auditorium theater, with a
seating capacity of 0,000, In which to hold
the general meetings and many halls for
committee work. The hotel accommoda

This company Is developing a very large
tract of mining ground In the carbonate
district. A fhaft Is being sunk to quartzlto
and as soon ns the patent for the ground is
secured a steam hoist will be erected and
the work will be pushed. A largo per cent
of tho stock In this company (s held by peo
plo nt Aberdeen, Iledfleld, Mitchell and other
cities1 lu the eastern part of tho state. The
directors of the company have authorized
tho selling of 100,000 more shares.
Work has been started In the Bullion
mine, In the Galena mining district, east
of this city, by Dr. II. II. Muggloy of Chi
cago. Oro will be shipped as soon on tho
wagon roads get lu condition for heavy
hauling. II. II. Armstead of New York
City, general superintendent of the Oalcna
Mining and Smelting company, formerly the
old Union Hill company, has gone to Chi
cago to purchase nn air compressor nnd
other machinery to work In tho Kurcka
mine. This property has been doveloped
considerably and a large amount of ore has
been opened up. Shipments of oro will bo
mado as soon as tho roads will permit haul
ing. Co in I n u- Iloetc from t'liiie Nome.
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. Day, who owned a large Interest in
the property, thero Is a question yet as to
what will bo done. Lee Day, a son of tho
colonel, Is said to have a controlling In
terest In tho mine. Ho was on his way to
Capo Nome, whoro ho was to have taken
churgo of n rich placer claim for an uncle.
Leo In expected to return homo nnd It la
probablo thnt tho work out nt the Gilt Kdge
mine will be continued the same ns though
Colonel Day hnd lived. Tho Gilt Kdge has
been closed down over a year on account of
trouble among tho stockholders, but It Is
Miippoaod now that everything has been
straightened up. Tho largo chloiinatlon
works at Rapid City were purchased and re
paired a year ago through the efforts of
Colonel Day, and oro was shipped from
tho Gilt Kdge mltio thero for treatment.
Tho grado of the ore Is very high.
Tho Cook & Parker cyanide plant tins
been stnrted up on ore from tho Omega
mine. It was in this plant, before It was
enlarged, that experiments of great Im
portance wero conducted fiurlng tho winter
whon It was found that certain klndtj of
oro could be treated for a cost not to ex

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. If the experiment Is successful. It
will solve a eerlous question for tho smelt

Tho rnarblo expert who now has charge of

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

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

A diamond drill will bo placed uu the lith

Even though tho season Is rapidly draw

nono of Its attraction for Omaha theater
goers, as was demonstrated by the two
uplondld audiences which greeted tho cur
rent week's bill nt tho Orpheum Sunday.
Their verdict was manifestly one of approval
nnd, Indeed, tho bill is ono of moro than
ordinary merit. Three entertaining ono-nct
playlets, together with specialty features of
originality, furnish a diversity of amuse
ment, "Dr. Chnuncey'ri Visit," a musical skit,
presented by Its author, Joseph Hnrt, as
sisted by Miss DeWar, Is tho chief attrac
tion. "Dr. Chauncey" is one cf these Jolly

one occr.nlnnnlly comes In contact nnd his
visit to a chnrmlng young woman whoso' pet
torrler is suffering 'with tho inlluctiza fur
nishes tho nucleus for n decidedly refresh
ing and original sketch. The vivacious
physician sings a number of clover songs, ns
does also Miss DeWar. nnd the two present
an unique dancing speclnlty.
Will M. Crccsey is the author of one of
the sketches, "Adam tho Second," and this
fs.et alone Is cnouch io commend it. It is
completely beyond tho imle of tho usual
vaudovlllinn sketch and Is well presented
by Mr. Matthews and Miss llurrls. A charm
ing little French maid, who dances bo
witchlngly, and a Herman character come
dian use tho third sketch as a vehicle per
mitting the Introduction' of a number of
Interesting specialties.
Carrie Hehr sings n number of late popu

a pretty maiden, and the Wilson family pro

Thero is nothing offens'lvo in the musical
niolnngo which began a brief engagement at

any merit in me picco useii nnu in mis re

who enjoy rngtlmo songs and buck dancing
dono by peoplo who havo at least avorngo

not wholly devoid ot merit. It Isn't high art,
It Is true, but presumably no ono who is
seeking for on exhibition of stellar dramatic
work will bo attracted to the theater where
"Tho Hottest Coon In Dlxlo" Is being given
a production.
An far as tho pleco tclf la concerned It
amounts to nothing. There Is enough of a
