DBADWOOD. 8. D., March 18.-Speclel.)
William 8. Ward of Denver, Held commit
loner of tbe Bt. Louie exposition, who hse
charge of the western division of the de
partment of mines and metallurgy for the
exposition. Is In Deadwood for the purpose
of conferring with the Black Hills mining
men relative to an exhibit at the eipost-
"x'tt-eetln of the mining men la called
for Deadwood. and the matter of a B"nfrJ
exhibit will be fully considered. Mr. wara
lias hsd wide experience In work of "Is
nature. He was a representative of Colo
rado at the Chicago world s fair, and had
charge of the Tnlted States miners ex
hibit at the Paris exposition. He is or
tbe opinion that tbe Black Hllla region can
exhibit a collection of minerals and ele
ments, industrial materlale and product
that will surprise the world.
A new' mining company has been organ
ised to operate In the southern part of
Lawresce county, the Lucky Btrtk Gold
Mining ft Milling company, recently tr
gsnlzed by C. A. Allen. O. W. MaUon and
others of Deadwood, and in which promi
nent eaatern South Dakota and northwest
ern Iowa people hsve become Interested.
The company has bought the Bird ad
Funston groups of claims, on Box Elder
creek, both of which are well developed.
The company la prepared to build a mill
to treat the ore exposed on the property,
but It will be necessary to make a aeries
of tests on the ore In the first plaee,' to
determine by what process It can be
treated most satisfactorily.
geek Proceaa of Saving.
The ore Is quart, mixed with a great
deal of talc. Samples taken out at moat
any point show good color In the pan.
but much of tbe gold la not amenable to
amalgamation and It will be necessary to
adopt some process by which It can be
saved. It is likely that the company will
resort to stamps and amalgamation, with
chemical solution after treatment.
A one-stamp mill was built on the prop
erty twenty-five years ago by Hattenbach
hrothere of Deadwood and waa operated
several months, being finally abandoned
oa account of the refractory nature ot
much of the gold. The ledges on the
ground are strong, and the company has a
rood supply ef ore.
A strong vein of free milling quarts haa
teen discovered on the old Bt. Elmo prop
erty, which now belongs to the Grants
Gold Mining company. It is taken to be
aa extension of tbe main ledge, and was
uncovered by the workmen while going over
the surface, preparatory to smarting the
pew abaft.
Itaby Opens Good Body.
The Ruby Mining company Is opening
un a good looking body of ore on the Port
land ground, In Bear Butte district. The
ere to of a porphyrltlc nature and some
Jof It carries well In free gold. Twenty
feet of It shows aa average value of $20
to, the ton, the great part of the values
being refractory.
The Portland Is where the Intersection
t the Dakota Maid and Gilt Edge ledges
pecurs, and It la one of the most promising
properties In tbe district. The company
was recently organised, James Contett.Nor
man T. Mason and O. V. Pryce of Dead-
wood being the Incorporators. The capital
isation la $400,000, but none of the stock
has been sold.
Another cyanide plant la In contempla
tion for Deadwood gulch. It will be built
thla apring by the Pennsylvania Gold Min
ing company oa Its property, two miles
northwest of Lead. The company has a
solid body of ore eight feet thick that
averages $30 a ton. Some of tbe ore shows
free gold and runs up iato the hundreds of
dollars to the ton. It has been pronounced
a ryanldlng proposition by those who have
examined It, ' and recent testa have aathT-
fied the company that a 100-plant Is fully
warranted.
Eighteen Claims oa ths Galea.
Tbe Pennsylvania company owns eight
een claima on Deadwood gulch and Its trlb
utartes, taking In 380 acrea of ground. The
development work ooaalata of a tunnel 800
feet long, a shaft seventy-five feet deep
and a crosscut from the bottom of the
haft forty feet long. The ore Is exposed
In the tunnel and the crosscut and ahows
continuity. W. 8. Koker Is superintendent
of the company and makes his headquarters
at Lead. The offices of tbe company are
held by Pennsylvsnia men.
Ten new stamps have been added
to
the crushing department of the Dakota
Mining company'a cyanide plant In Dead
wood. Thla gives the company thirty
tamps for crushing ore, and will enable
the plant to put through 115 tons ot ore
a day. There waa considerable delay la the
arrival ot the stamps. They should have
been here the first of ths year, but this
waa Impossible on account of tbe press of
orders in the factories. The Dakota com
pany and the Portland company crush with
tamps in a eolutloa ot cyanide.
The Imperial cyanide plant. Just started,
la a few rods from the Dakota plant, and
the two plants running aide by aide will
furnish an excellent example of the rela
tive merlta of ths wet and dry crushing
process. The Imperial crushea dry.

WASHINGTON. March IS. In accordance
with the agreement reached a week ago,
the senate will begin voting on the ahlp
subsidy bill and amendmenta tomorrow aft
ernoon at 3 o'clock. There will be no
peech making after the voting begins.
Tbe senate will meet at 11 o'clock, an hour
earlier than usual, to give senators who
may still wish to be heard an opportunity
to speak on the bill before the time to vote
arrivea.
With the subsidy bill disposed of, the bill
Introduced by Senator Hoar for the protec
tion of the president ot the United Statea
from assassination will assume first place
on the calendar, having been made the un-
nlsbed bualnesa. It la not expected, how
ever, that there will be prolonged debate
pon this bill and there Is great Interest
among senators as to which of several
measures will be passed first. Tbe repub
lican steering committee probably will meet
Monday to consider thla matter.
Either the oleomargarine bill or the Chi
nese exclusion bill doubtlea will be made
the unfinished bualneee to succeed the pres
idential protection measure, though the
Nicaragua csnal bill also la pressing for
attention. The canal bill, however, accord
ing to present understanding, will be com
pelled to wait on both the other bills.
There is a suggestion, which member or
the steering committee are considering, to
allow tbe Chinese bill and the oleomar
garine bill to run along side by aide, one
of them occupying the morning hour and
the other taking tbe time after the expira
tion of that hour. Senator Proctor, who
will have charge of the oleomargarine bill,
and Senator Penrose, who will lead the
fight for the Chinese bill, are equally con
fident ot the outcome. .
NCREASE GREAJJN COMMERCE

m Marked Improvement.
WASHINGTON, March 18. The Insular
division ot the War department haa pre
pared for publication an extract from Its
monthly bulletin of the commerce of the
Philippines, comparing the eight months
ended August 31, 1301. and 1900. It is
shown that the total value ot merchandise
Imported during the eight monthe ended
August, 31. 1901, waa $19,818,696. against
$14,680,467 for the same period of 1900, and
tbe total value ot merchandise exported dur
Ing tbe eight months ended August 31, 1901,
was $16,936,405, agalnat $16,928,016 for the
same period ot 1900.
The Imports show an increase of 35 per
cent during the period of 1901, as compared
with the same period of 1900. In the ex
ports there was a 6 per cent increase In
favor ot 1901. The Imports from tho
United States, exclusive ot gold and sliver,
during the eight months of 1901 was
$2,370,000, being an Increase of 84 per cent
over tbe. same period of tbe preceding year,
while the export figures show $1,960,687, or
slight increase in favor ot 1901. The
Import figures ahow a gain ot nearly $1,000,-
000 on food stuffs and In manufactured
artlclea of nearly $4,000,000 for the eight
months of 1901.
Agricultural exports for the periods men
tioned show a slight Increase during 1901,
the showing for this period being $14,639,887,
of which amount $10,436,566 is credited to
hemp, the leading article of export. The
export figures ot $1,709,169 In manufactured
articles for the period' of . 1901 nearly
doubled those of 1900, while products of
the mines and forests show a decided In

HOUSE WILL UNSEAT RHEA
Fores-one Conclusion In tho Election
Contest from Third Ken
tucky District.
WASHINGTON, Msrch 18. The house
during the present week will pase the river
and harbor bill, will decide the contested
election case ot Voes againat Rhea from
the Third Kentucky district and will con
sider the bill for the retirement of officers
of the revenue cutter service. Such Is the
program ot tbe house leaders.
The report In the contested election caae
ia against Mr. Rhea, tbe sitting member,
who Is a democrat, and It Is regarded as a
foregoing conclusion that he will be un
seated. The revenue cutter service bill was
detested In the last congress, but Us
friends claim to have hope that It will meet
a better fate now.
It Is believed that tbe river and harbor
bill will not continue more than two days.
A few members who are dissatisfied with
appropriations tor Improvements In their
districts will make an effort to amend It
on the floor to meet their Individual wishes
but the committeemen believe they will
hsve strength enough to prevent sny at
tempt to amend It and that It will pass la
the form In which It wss reported from
the committee.

SMOKELESS SKIES.
Simple Means Snajgested to Dissipate
Sooty Cloads Of Smoke.
Not the least Interesting feature of the
St. Louis exposition of 1903, says the New
York Tribune, will be the attempt to ahow
tbe country how easily smoke may be dla
penaed with when soft coal Is used. The
managers lntepd that In the generation ot
the 20,000 or 25,000 boras power which they
will require coal shall be so burned aa to
emit no, visible fumes. Furthermore, they
will urge all railway companies running
tralna to the grounds to affix smoke com
pressing devices to their locomotives. Thla
policy baa been adopted at the Instigation
ot a local nuisance abating society, and
there le much reason tor fslth In Its feasi
bility
Nevertheless, conservatism Is Ingrained
In the human mind. The majority of the
consumers ot soft coal are Incredulous. It
ill take time and trouble to convince
them. . Henee the American Machinist re
marks that It the St. Louis plan can be
carried out strictly, "a service will be ren
dered to the country greater than auch
exhibitions are usually credited with."
But there U another way to free a large
community from amoke. All the power re
quired for factories and the operation of
street railways might be developed at
central station outside ths olty limits and
bo transmitted to tho consumers In ths
form of electricity. One of the greatest
movements of ths ags Is toward the em
ployment of electric motors to drlvs ma
chlnery ot all kinds, la order to get rid of
belts snd shafting, and thua to savs both
apses and power. Another advantage of
the system la that the power may be con
veniently brought from distant placee where
circumstances favor its cheap development.
like Niagara or tbe alopea of tbe Sierra.
Some of the electricity which San Fran
cisco now uses is generated In ths Yubs
valley, mors than too miles away. But all
tbe streams In this country together ara
not sufficient to generate a tenth of the
power actually needed,. , Hence fuel ta an
absolute necessity. It Is not essential
though, that It ahould be burned at the
precise spot where Its output ot energy Is
utilised. '
Whea small consumers of power obtain
It, like gas, water or current for lighting
ana driving electric fans, from a big pro
ducer, It should be less sxpenslve than
when developed on the premises. Power
costs less when generated on a large seals
than on a small one. Ths coal consump
tlon for the moat economical marine en
glnes Is scarcely mora than one pound a
horse power per hour. A twenty-horse
power engine ia a back street machine ahop
would want anywhere from five to eight.
And, inasmuch aa real aetata Is cheaper I
the suburbs than In town, the cumoanv
which operated a great power plant would
doubtless find It desirable to ealect a site
five or tea miles from the heart of the
city to which' It ministered. And If It did
not go there voluntarily, and thsre was at
doubt oa tbe score of smoke, then exclu
eioo should be affected by prohibitive local
ordinances.

APAN'S GREAT GAIN IN TRADE

NEW. YORK. March 16. S. Uchlda, con-
sul general for Japan at New York, haa
received reports from Toklo dealing with
the foreign trade of his country for tbe
last year and the development of Its rail-
. , . . ,h
ways. The reports show that in both fields
there have been marked gains over previous
years. The report on foreign trade eays:
"Ths foreign trade ot Japan for the last
year has shown the largest figures on
record. - The total smount of exports and
tmporta haa exceeded 6O0.0C0.O00 yen la
value.'
Following are the comparative statistics
for the last five years:

Total Imnorta Imports i

Although it la a fact that the economlo
condition of the empire during the last few
years has been much disturbed by tightness
ot the money market, advance In interest
and crises in financial circles, the foreign
commerce of the country has made rapid
progress, not being hampered by those un-
tavoraoie circumstances, as can De seen
from the foregoing figures.
The continuous excess of imports over
exports is due partly to the remarkable
progress or enterprises, and partly to tne
rise in the standard of living in general
since the China-Japan war, and especially
In 1698. to ths excessive imports in anilripa-
tion or tne enforcement or tno nigner
tariff.
In the year 1899 a reaction of the nrevloua
condition on the one hand and an extra
ordinarily favorable condition of the raw
silk trade on the other account for a com
paratively amali excess of Imports over
exports, and in the last year the excess was
reduced to so small an amount that If there
bad not been unusually large Importations
of sugar and petroleum, owing to the law
increasing the duties on these articles.
made operative In that year, the balance
of trade might have been favorable to the
country.
The following table snows the steady in
crease of exports during the last five years:
Year. Export.
1901 t.84S,0i0 yen
lii0 204. 429,000 yen
1X99 214,929.0ii0yen
Wm li,7M,000 yen
1K7
lb3,136.000 yen
The 'leading article of export was raw
silk, which amounted in value to 24.000.000
yen last year, and the next waa the Hubutal
silk, valued at 23.noo.otio yen. Then came
cotton yarns, 21.010,000 yen, and copper,
13,000,000 yen. Such a large volume of ex
port business, especially of raw silk, as
attained last year, has no parallel In ths
history at japan a foreign trade.
The disturbance in norm China, wnicn
reatrlcted commerce with that country,
having been settled, and confidence re
stored, the trade in that direction will aa-
sume lis normal condition, sua mere is n
very brlsht outlook for the future.
Under these circumstances, mere seems
to be no doubt thst the balance of trade
will be turned In Japan'a favor In the
course of the current year.
While the export trade is continually ex
panding, the Import trade has a slight
tendency to recede, as shown by ths fol
lowing table; ,

Notwithstanding the fact that there was
a speculative Importation ot certain eases
of goods to ths amount of about 10.vuu.0i
yen last year on account of the enforce
ment of the new tariff, the total value of
Imports was less than the preceding year.
Though the volume of import trade does
not show much increase, its general tend
ency cannot be said to be retrogressive, but
on the contrary it would ds proper 10 say
that Japan has returned to the normal
condition of the trade. The continual ex
cess of Imports over exports has been
caused by ths excessive Importation of
articles for temporary use. The principal
artlclea brought lu during last year were
cotton to ths value of 16,vx0.uu0 yen; eugar.
S6.uiu.0u0 yen; petroleum, eu.OUO.OOO yen: ma
chinery. IO.uAOuu ysn, and rice, 10,0n,uuO yen.
In short, ths foreign trade of Japan for
the last year showed an extraordinary
large figure In export trade. Its total value
exceeding the previous year by 64 OuO.OOO
yen. while Its Imports were .W.uuu yn
less than the preceding year. The princi
pal Import! which decreased In value wers
shirtings, cotton prints, mousaline delaine,
iron, rails, steel lice and velvets.

Market.
CHICAOO. March 18.-Natural reaction
from the slump on yesterday's wheat liqui
dation, together with strength In tbe
coarse grains anil cold westner predictions
held all grains up touay. May wheat closed
so hiKher, May corn c up and May oata
a Shane advanced. Provisions closed un
thHiiKea to a shade lower.
Wheat ruled higher today. The opening
waa strong on predictions of a cola wave
descending on tne western and southwest
ern wheat states and on the cable list,
which was very steauy, compared to yes
terday's local decline- Much of the firm
ness was due to the fact that yesterday s
heavy liquidation and stop loss settlements
had left the market bare ot any presMure.
1 tie coarse grains telt the weather situa
tion amo ano Helped buoy wheat. Kansas
was still sendliiK in crop damage reports
and shorts, who nau a profit In sight, cov
ered. As not mtn'h wneat waa oifered,
prices advanced. May opened SWttc higher
at ?j;i,oSc and reacted to 7b-jf ifcc. On
the higher prices considerable long stuff
was tnrown overboard. Considering thin,
though the gains were small and there was
a momentary dip to 74 'c. ths closing tone
was remarkably firm. Commission houses
were the best buyers. At one time it ap
peared that It was only the heavy selling
Dy longs that prevented a good bull mar
ket May closed c higher at 7&Vc Local
receipts were 'A cars, none of contract;
Minneapolis and Duluth reported 3bH cars,
a total for the three points of 383, against
482 last week and 464 a year ago. Primary
receipts were aw.Oou bushels, compared to
6S8,Uii bushels last week. Seaboard clear
ances equaled 3X0,000 bushels. Australian
shipments for the week were 2R8.O0O bush
els, oral nut 616.U00 bushels a year ago.
Corn was quiet, but ruled firm. Offerings
were light, receipts continue email and
rironpertn of a cold wave caused an open
ng MitiVic to SHo higher for May, at
624?itUic. Fluctuations were narrow and
at one time orlces were allowed to sllD off
to last nights closing figure on a lack of
demand. The southwest was still bullish
and cables were higher, and these factors
brought a good reaction late and May
closed firm, hko up at 64&HG. Iteceipla,
86 cars.
Oats ruled somewhat firm. July was in
good demand and the market responded
well. In May there waa a wider range. In
fluenced by the action In corn. This op
tion opened higher, eaed off when the de
mand ceased, but later recovered the loss
and closed firm, a shade un at 45li45Vic.
Country offerings were small. Receipts, 67
cars.
Provisions were verv dull. The orventne
tendenrv m'as lower. In ivmnathv with n
lower hog market. There was some early
cash trade, however, and that, with the
grain strength, held prices up for a time.
Fluctuations were narrow. The pit was in-
lined to sell. The support came from
packers. May pork closed a shade lower at
8l5.4Hff15.45; May lard closod at the price
