There was on lidded interest in the event this year, for the many far-reaching questions awaiting consideration gave unusual importance to the return of congress. Aside from this, the Roberts case intvo- duced a phase which promised somethiug outside of the ordinary developments oi an opening day. Karly in the day the throngs began converging at the capitol. The day waa bright and propitious, and the thoroughfares leading to the building presented a gay and animated appearance, while within the building all was bustle and excitement Long before the hour for calling the house to order the outer doors were open to all, and through these flowed continuous streams of humanity until the great corridors, galleries and rotundas were fairly packed. As early as 10:30 o'clock the conspicuous figures of congress began to arrive, and this served to give the waiting throngs a temporary diversion. General Henderson went directly to the speaker's private ouice, where he shared his time with the house leaders and with those pleading for admission cards. Representative Richardson, of Tennessee, made his way through the crowd to the members' private lobby. Here he chanced to meet Mr. Richardson, and the two held a short conference aa to whether Mr. Roberta would seek to address the house. A dum of comment followed the gentleman from Utah wherever he went, but there was no disrespectful demonstration. Very early in the day a monster petition, said to consist of 7,000,000 names, protesting against the seating of Mr. Roberts, was brought into the hall. It had been collected by a New York newspaper. Tke New Speaker of tke Hone. The eyes of the nation are focused on David R. Henderson, whom the republicans have selected to be the next speaker of the house of representatives. He was bora in Old Deer, Scotland, March 14, 1840. His parents come to the United Statea when he was 6 years of age, settling finally in Iowa in 1849. He obtained his earlier education in the public schools of that state, and subsequently took a course in the Upper Iowa university. When the civil war broke out he gave up the study of law and shouldered a musket and went to the front aa a private. He was with ti>e regiment in numerous engagements and wss wounded slightly several times. In a subsequent engagement he lost one of his legs. After the wounds were healed he re-enlisted as a colonel of the Forty-sixth Iowa volunteer infantry, and served at the head of his regiment until the close of the war. He was admitted to the bar in 1865, and from that time until 1809 he served as collector of internal revenue for tbe Third district of Iowa. For two yeans he was assistant United States district attorney for the northern division of the district of Iowa. In 1883 he was elected to the house of representatives, in which capacity he haa since served continuously. In tke .Senate. Washington, Dec 4.—In the shadow of the recent .death, the senate convened at noon today in its session ol the fifty-sixth congress. The death of Vice President llobart cast a poll over the preliminary proceeding in the senate. As usual on the opening days of congress the senate chamber was a veritable conservatory. Pending the actual convention of the senate die chamber presented a most animated and picturesque scene. The galleries were filled with a brilliant and distinguished audience. Promptly at noon Mr. Frye, of Maine, president pro tern., called the senate to order. The blind chaplain, Mr. Milburn, pronounced the invocation, making a beautiful and touching reference to the death of Mr. llobart.

Chicago, Dec. 4.—The News says that ex-Champion Robert Fltzsimmons and his old time manager, Martin Julian, have parted company. This was the result of a bitter quarrel in the pugilists rooms in the Sherman house, in which fists were swung and a revolver displayed. Fltzsimmons left for New York last night, vowing he was done with Julian for good. Tlie disagreement comes after a scries of misunderstandings. According to the stories of both men it grew out of Fitzsim- mons' inability to obtain a box at the Lyric theater during a crowded period. Julian is interested in the Lyric. The pugilist, it is said, made certain remarks of an uncomplimentary nature concerning the Lyric and Julian took him to task for it. After a little talk Julian slapped the big fellow in the face and the fighter swung on his manager's eye, skinning it slightly and raising a slight lump. Fitzsimmons declares that Julian drew a revolver and that he chased him out of the room. Julian insists that it was Bob who drew the gun. ^^^^ Ott. Tell, of a Sarreader.

The event of the week has been the announcement on the part of the miners of lake Bessemer ores of their 1 prices for the season of 1900-1901. The figure decided upon, $5.50 at lower lake ports, for the Norrle grade, compared I with $2.53 last year represents an advance rather larger than was expected. Hrpubllo. Rapid work ls being done on the Merrimac shaft Extensive development ot ths Oolden Harvest Is in progress. Water has been taken out and work resumed on the Oold Ledge. Reports from the Oold Ledge are of tbe most favorable character. The shaft Is to be lowered an additional hundred feet on the Rebate. The whims for the Delta mine and Excellent progress ls reported being made on the Oolden Harvest tunnel, for the Hit or Miss are ln operation. Copper prospects appear to attract more attention than gold at this time. The face of the North Star tunnel ls only about 75 feet distant from the ledge. The next deal in Republic camp will probably bo for the Lone Pine-Surprise control. Ibe contractors on tbe Copper Moun tain claim have finished their 300-foot contract on the tunnel. The ground ln the Qopher shaft has become more solid and better progress can be made in sinking. The new shaft on the Merrimac ls down 42 feet and ts going down at the rate of four feet a day. There ls forty feet of good ore ln Republic vein and still no hanging wall ln sight. It widens with depth. The drift on the Jim Blaine shows the same quality of quarts that has been encountered for soma time past. It has been announced that an assay of some ore from the main tunnel lead of the Quilp mine assayed $212 per ton. Superintendent Kehoe states that the rock in the Bodie shaft has become so hard that tbe daily progress was only about two feet. The big ore chute on the 600-foot level of the Republic grows larger and richer. The more the mine is explored the richer it becomes. It Is extremely doubtful if there is another locality on earth where the outlook is so favorable for such a large number of mines as on Oranite creek. The mines here mentioned are in the Immediate vicinity of Republic Manager Leckie says that D. C. Jack- ling, the noted cyanide expert. Is preparing the plans for the new 200-ton mil), and the building will be so arranged as to admit of increasing the capacity of the plant to treat 1000 tons of ore per dsy. It is expected that the mill will be constructed and running by next June. Cripple Creek, Colo., has been one of the greatest factors In bringing that state to the attention of the civilised world and has played an Important part In the world's production of the precious metals. Cripple Creek and Its mines are known wherever a newspaper circulates. As well known as is Cripple Creek at this time, its fame is likely to be soon eclipsed by a little ereek on the north halt ot the Colville reservation. It ls locally known as Oranite creek. But very few people have ever known of this stream who hnve not at some time been ln Republic. While its name has remained In comparative obsurity, the mines that line He banks or tributaries have sprung Into prominence within the past year and are daily becoming better known to the public in general and rspeclnlly to mining men. On the north fork there are the Tom Thumb, Rebate, Looking Backward, Stray Horse, Golden Lion and Little Four Consolidated, Mountain Lion, Merrimac and Hillside. On another northern branch of the stream are the Mud Lake, Knob Hill, Trade Dollar, Ben Hur, North San Poll, San Poll, Bodle, Lone Pine, Surprise, Insurgent, Block- tall and Quilp. On the main creek or near It are the Morning Glory, Tenderfoot nnd Trail, Golden Lily, Troubador, Delta, Eureka, Hit or Miss, Anaconda, Palo Alto, Pitsburg, Ruby, Lost Lode, First Thought, North 8Ur, Liberty, Summit, Republic, Jim Blaine, Princess Maud, and scores of others of minor repute. Op the 8outh fork there are the Copper Mountain, Bryan k Sewell, Admiral Dewey and many others. British Columbia. The railway spur to the B. C. mine In Summit camp ls completed. On the Chlckamonstone shipping ore is being taken out of a Fort Steele mine. James Cronin ls manager of the Consolidated Mines at Moyie, In East Kootenay.

The O. K. mine of Rossland, once n famous property, has passed into the hand of the Old National bank. Several carloads of ore have been sorted at the Empire In the Cran- brook district, ready for shipment. After being shut down for ovor , year, the Monte Cristo mine of Ross- land, Is to be put ln operation again Two great mines, Knob Hill and Old Ironsides, are the big ones ln Phoenix cnmp and are ln better ore than ever Excellent reports are received regarding the new strike on the Oolden Eagl« ln Brown's camp, near Greenwood. The contract has been let for the sinking of a 50-foot shaft on the Unexpected, ln the Burnt Baaln district At a recent meeting ot the oompanv controlling tha Bluokoock mine, la the Ymlr district, lt was decided to at enee put a force of ten men at work oa the mine. The Iron Colt Company of Rossland whose property has been shut dawn for practically 22 months with the exception of a little work done laat winter has resumed operations. The 300-horsepower hoist for the Black Bear at Rossland haa arrived ou the ground and will be set up as Boon as the excavation of a chamber tn the tunnel hns been completed. On the Granby smelter three hundred men are at work. The dam ls nearly finished across the river. The flume is to be the biggest one in all British Columbia. The undertaking is of great magnitude and importance. The new skip ln the Centre Star shaft, Rossland, has been put In place and Is working. It la employed to balance the other skip and Its uae will result In considerable economy ln fuel. Shlpmenta will not be materially increased at present. Recently a Chinaman, digging on a claim In a creek near the Slooan-Carl- boo company's works, la Cariboo, turned up a nugget weighing 7 yj ounces ot pure gold. This ls the biggest nuggot ever found tn the Cariboo district. The nugget was bought from tha Chinaman by Mr. Youngs of Bartorvllle, B. G. MI MM. ROTIM. The Justice mine, near Keller, haa a good body of ore. The largest mining plant In Oregen, the Cougar 250-ton cyanide plant at Sumpter, is ln operation. On the rich Keep Cool near Lake- view, Pend d'Orellle, tour feet of clean ore has been opened on the cross-cut On the rich American Flag ln the Methow district ot Okanogan county, H. C.

Senator George Turner la aaid to be barking an Idaho coal company. The properly is near Oro Fino, lda.hu. Nineteen hundred acres are located $10,000 capital ralaed to open up mine. At Mullan, Idaho, Clark * McHugh have commenced work on the Midnight, starting flve men to work on a tnnnel about the middle of laat week. Mr. Aborting, who ls superintendent of the Dewey mine, four miles south- weft of Mt. Idaho, reports that they have struck ore which goes from $100 to 1600. Seven carloads of mining and milling machinery, consigned to mines ln Sumpter camp, have been delivered by the O. R. * N. to the Sumpter Valley railway. The Amalgamated company of Butte, Is going right along with Improvements not only In the mines belonging to It, but in its smelters and refineries. Seymour H. Ball, manager of tbs Iconoclast Mining Company, writes from Keller as follows: "The Iconoclast is cutting into stringers of ore assaying $60 and $65 per ton In copper and gold. The tunnel Is in 147 feet and the contractors are making good headway. It la going to make a mine." The Iconoclast Is better known as the Tenos George mine. It was tbe pros- pert which he watched and guarded for 27 years, until the opening ot tbe res- ervstlon enabled him to take It Prominent Seattle men are interested in the mine now and West side capital Is developing It. Only a limited portion et the stock Is held ln Spokane. The claim Is said to have one ot th* most remarkable showings of copper on ths surface that has ever been found In ths state. The Poland China group of Chesaw. Wn., has been bonded to a Montreal, Canada syndicate for $30,000. This Is one ot the largest deals made In the Myers Creek camp since Its wonderful surface showings commenced to attract the attention of mining opedators this past summer. An excellent Indication of the rapidly growing Importance of Spokane as a mining center Is found In the fact that the big mining machinery houses are establishing branch houses there. A yt?ar ago there was not a house in thc entire Robblns mining district (Buffalo Hump), and not a mine that had diaper than a 10-foot hole. When one takes Into consideration the climatic conditions prevailing In this section and the lack of transportation facilities, the rough and broken character of the country, and the distance from railroads, the development vtork tbat has been done and improvements that has been d,one and improvements that have been made ln the past year are remarkable.

The censor has apparently stopped ull press messages from the front relating to the buttle, whicli is not regarded as a favorable indication. As lo the material results oi General Methuen's victories it is not clear whether (ieneral Methuen's i force actually crossed the Modder river or is still awaiting the rebuilding of the] bridge before the artillery and cavalry can cross. In any case the railroad must be curried over the bridge before the indispensable big natal guns can pass, because Lord Methuen's lust message showed that they were worked on trucks aloug the railroad.

Give us .something similar to that in use by the mining states south of un; which is inexpensive and fair to all. Because thero does not happen to be 1000 Canadian miners at present around Sandon, the anti-union newspapers attempt to prove that there was no foundation for Secretary Hagler'a telegraphic statement to Premier Laurier that 1000 Canadian minera were seaking protection from imported aliens. Sandon however is but ono town out of six in the Slocan. The fact thst but few aliens were really importod is due to tho vigilance of thn uuion and no credit is duo th> Mine Owners Association for the failure In 'heir plans Another ft'-orite suljct with tin anti-union press is lo deny Ihe atrenp1' of the minotV vole. They pick out those de<dsnnt''d as '•minera" in the voters list, discount the totsl number and publish lift result. Once ng>;n they are overlooking a simple tax*. Many who are "miners" in the strict 8' nse ot tho word, describe lhemse|ve> a* carpenters, prospectors etc. The*' will make an addition to the miueia' vote not counted on by the figurer*.

Whv British Columbia papers, poning oa mining paper*, should be continually abusing the Coeur d' Alene miners and makiag false and malicious Statements regarding them is a mystery to most people in this section of oar country.

Thai there has been an outrage, in the name of law, committed in Idaho is proven by the fact that hundreds of men were confined in prison for months and then turned loose without even being given a trial. This fact would appear to most to be a conclucivo proof of their innocence. The good and bad element in the Coeur d' Alene district will be found to average about the same as tbat of the Nelson or any other district of British Columbia.
