To all appear ances, today witnessed tho beginning of tho end of tho riotous demonstrations and scenes of bloodshot! that have char iictorizod tho great street railway striko for over n month past, and in many quarters it is thought of tho strike it solf. Tho opinions aro based upon Btatomonts of tho chiof of police and sheriff that tho critical stago has been passed, and upon tho fact that the St. Louis Transit Company is slowly but surely approaching a comp'eto resump tion of business with the aid of non union men. Tho inquest over tho bodies of vic tims of Sunday's riot began today. The testimony adduced was not of a character calculated to baso n decision upon as to which sido was to blame for beginning hostilities, tho witnesses dis agreeing on material points.

Lane of California. Poattlo, .luno 14. Xows comon from Anacottcs that work will bo resumed on a largo scalo on tho Ktireka group of mines in tho Slate Creek mining camp, which now belong to C. D. Lane, n millionaire mining operator of Califor nia. Tho final transfer to Mr. Lane was effected In Anacortes a few days ago. This is tho property that some years ago was under bond to Colonel Hart for Montana purlieu. Aftor spend ing upward of .$50,000 thoy allowed ther bond to lunse. but tho owners. having faith in ther property, continued working it until about two ycurs ago, .whoii a bond was mado to Mr. Laue. Aliiin.t llfiuly fur Opnrntloii. Tlio property Is nearly ready for oper ation. The tramway between tho mine and tho stamp mill must bo finished. Tho mill has 10 stamps of 1,100 pouti'' inch and is substantially constructed Tho property has a saw and slilnclo mill and electric light ulniit. The etamp mill was completed last fall and found to work perfectly. It is tho intention to put in a roast ing furuaco as soon as supplies can bo shipped in this summer, to treat all ores on tho ground, instead of shipping concentrates. Peoplo who know tho property, say that it will develop into a big initio. TWO REPUBLIC MINES. Active Work mi tlm Qullp unit on the Knob UIU. Republic, Juno 14. Work is ac tivo on the Quilp mino. Tho new ma chinery is giving satisfaction. Two drills aro making about five feet per day. The compressed air hoist is work ing smoothly at the winze and good progress will now be made in getting out the ore for shipping. The shaft will be extended to tho 800-foot level beforo cross cutting. The ledge en countered on this property has in creased greater in width in proportion to depth obtained in sinking than any mine in the camp. In tho tunuol it measured 20 feet, at the 50-foot lovel it was 80 foot wide, and at tho 100-foot lovel it was between 00 and 100 feet in width. This is tho largest body ore in the camp und it is hard and clean. I At the 50-foot levol there is SO feet of ore that will average $13 per ton. In the lower levels tho values are higher somowhut. The new seven-drill com-, pressor is in operation and tho com pany will be in a position to ship 200 ( tons of oro a day for an innelinite period, if necessary. Moro men have been put to work s'topiug in tho tunnel j ami eacn level, iiuiiy men uiu cm ployed. The survey has D9on completed for the steam tram to be constructed up the gulch, connecting tho mines in the vicinity for shipping to the mills. I Tho Quilp will furnish the new Repub-1 lie mill with at least 100 tons a day. i North of the Trade Dollar and east of the Hen Hur is tho Knob Hill, n prop erty supposed to bo valuable. A cross cut tunuol has been extended in tho hill 540 feet, whero tho ledgo was struck, and tho indications aro now that they have a fine property. A shaft i was suuk at the first where the vein ' was found in place and au average of valuos obtained of $30 per ton at the ; 10-foot levol. Tho tunnel level is 850 feet from the surface and thero are now threo feet of lino looking quartz that should run oven higher than in tho shaft. A drift north and south lias been started on tho ledge. Good AVimlilnetun Mine. Spokane, June 14. A contract has been lot for sinking a 100-foot shaft on the Robocca and runuiug 125 feet of tunuol on the Rebecca extension. Thoso cloims oro owned by Spoakue and Cheney parties. About 500 tons ot ore aro already on the dump and it averages about $45 to tho ton. Somo assays run as high as $200, .mostly cop per." Tho Rebecca nud Rebecca exten sion aro located near tho Columbia river, about 10 miles from Keller, Wash. Now Idaho Mining District. orangeville, Idaho, Juno 14. A new mining district has been orgauized across Salmon river from this place, called tho Crooks Corrall district. The boundaries of the now district are as follows: Commencing at the head of Race creek, thence to Snake river, theuco to tho summit of tho divide at tho Larry Ott saddlo (between Snako and Salmon rivers), thence along tho divide to plaeo of beginning. Improving the lllne Jacket. Cuprum, Idaho, Juuo 14. Hoisting machinery, pump and onglne for tho Dluo Jacket mino havo reached the property aud will bo rapidly Installed. Several cars of ore aro ready for haul ing to tho railroad for shipment to the Eastern smelter Gold Output This Year. Nomo Probably $16,000,000. Washington Rough estimate, $3, 000,000. Klondike Somo say $18,000,000'. Others $25,000,000. Oregon Rapidly increasing and this year's output will roach close to $5, 000,000. Klondike'. Gold Output. Victoria, Ii. C, June 14. Tho first crowd of Klondlkors this season arrived by tlie stoamor Amur Saturday. They report that 200 minors have reached Skagway. Six steamers havo passed up tho river. Tho gold output is estimated by Daw son papers at $18,000,000. News is givon of a stampede to the Koyukuk and to Sulphur oreok, gravel being foui'd in the old channel whtoh goes 50 cents to tho pan. A nuggot weighing 77 ouncos was found on Ohoo Chako. THE MINING WORLD THE R0SSLAND DISTRICT New Owners of the Giant Take Hold of the Property. Rossland, P. C, Juno 14. The water is being taken out of tho Grant shaft in preparation for the resumption of sinking on tho oro body. This work is boing done by A. D. Coplen and W. G. Armstrong, of Spokano, the representatives of Philadelphia and Michigan capitalists, who havo ob tained control ot tho company. The now owners express confidence that tho Giant will tnako a mine, arid aro willing to spend monoy to proving it. They are tho third party to inako tho at- tempt, the last being Colonel W. M I Ridpath, E. G. Sanders and others of tho old Lo Roi syndicate, from Spo I kane, but thoy threw -up their bond Inst April. Other Cannillan Mine. V. ork is to bo started on tho North ern Belle, which adjoins tho St. Elmo, on Red mountain, by H. E. Palmer, who has just returned from Montreal, where he received instructions from tho owners. There is a good Bhowing and if the summer's work confirms its value a plant will bo installod in the fall. Andrew Drowey and others havo bonded tho Sunset, near Whitewater, in the Slocan, for $30,000. Itradjoins tho Wellington and a short extension of the tunnel from that claim will tap the vein at a dejpth of 000 feet. The vien is 13 feet in width, with 10 inches of high grade ore. New Machinery in FrUco. Gom, Idaho, Juno 14. New ma chinery is being installed in the Frisco mill here. Ono of the largest crushers in the Northwest, weighing 15 tons, will be ready to start in a few days. Struck a rocket. F. M. Smith, who has been assisting Joseph Shepherd in prospecting a ledae on Grubb creek, a tributary ol Sterl ing, informs tho Medford, Or., Mail that ho and his partner took out a small pocket last week from which they real ized over $27 at the bank, and Mr. Smith says the pocket is not by any means exhausted. He says the pocket may prove to be a largo one, as the samo character of rock continues. Thoy will lose no time in going down on the vein, which varies in size from one to four feet and all sufficient ly mineralized to make it a fine paying proposition. The quartz is blue and porous and all of it carries more or less free cold. The walls are granite and porphry with cyanlte and feldspar. Work la Heine Puihed. Work is being steadily pushed at the Mountain Lion mine, in Southern Ore- con, owned by Bailey brothers, on Missouri flat, says the Rogue River Courier. Tho lower tunnel has now reached n length of nearly 400 feet, and it is expected that it will tap tho ledge inside of 40 or 50 feet farther. Through out the whole course of this tunnel, the rock has been easily worked and not so hard but that a good showing could bo made each day. A How of water almost sufficient to run the mill is now coming from tho tunnel and It Is oxpeeted that when tho vein is struck, the tunnel will yield an ample water supply for milling pur poses. The ore at this mino carries high values in gold, and the new tun nel will open a large body of the ore. The mine is well equipped with a good stamp mill and is one of the very best properties in that section. , Two New I.edos Opened. Tho placer district in Southern Ore gon is showing up some very fine prop erties. Iu addition to tho valuable claims already under an advanced state of development in tho district and which have been proved to bo high grado and permanent, Paul Scharing sou is prospeoting two new discoveries which give promise of being no less valuablu than tho Greenbaok or Brown ing voins. One of these ledges is soven feet wide, and though the ore is not high grade as far as prospecting has yet shown, still it is sufiloiontly mineral ized for a milling proposition. There is 350 feet of tunneling and a 70-foot shaft on the otlior lodge. This vein is about 18 inches wide. Consid erable monoy has been taken from this ledge with au arastar. Outlook It llrleht. A correspondent at Geiser, Or., writ ing to tho Baker City Democrat, says tho mines of tho Empire Mining Com pany are looking fine and tho company is planning for the erection of a mill. Tho White Elephant owners are go ing to build very soon. The Bonanza mine has plenty of good oro for its 40-stamp mill. A $312 nugget was pickod up In tho plaoors of Austin, MoMudre & Co., at Wintoiville, near here, the other day. The owners of these claims expoot to clean up $25,000. Thoy aro working n full crew on the Black Bird and pushing development as fast as possible. With three or four mills In this camp wo will begin to havo a day. A now bank building is going np in Coquille City, Or. A scarcity of laborers is roportod at Gray's Harbor, Wash. Tacoma has adopted plans for a new school houso, to cost $20,000. North Yakima, Wash., Is soon to have a fruit and vegetable cannery. Sixty-five men aro employed build i,ng the Great Northern railroad bridgos in Spokane. Machinery for a sash and door and furnituro factory combined has reached Coquille City, Or. BETWEEN. SEASONS DULLNESS. Yet Trade, on the Whole, II BMI fn.torr. Bradstreets' says: Measurod by ro cont records and recollections of busi ness activity, tho present botween seasons dullness seems spoolally mark ed, and the reactionary movoment ot prices makes trodo look worse than it really Is. Judged by such Indicators as railroad tariffs and statistics ol foreign trade, the volume of business doing is considerably largor than n year ago, when, it will bo recalled, trade was cheerfully activo. It is true bank clearings aro considerably smaller than last year's clearings', which undobtcdly included much of the speculative char acter this year almost wholly absent; aud yet outside of the metropolis bank clearings aro heavier this year than last. Wool is dull, and, on tho wholo, weak in tho East, while good prices have been secured in tho West. Man ufacturers aro not buying, because their business is not active, and lower ratei for the next lightweight season, for men's wear goods are predicted, though leading mill agents will gurantee prices as late as October. Lower prices for irgn and steel have not met expectations of causing n re duction in output and Incrensod stock, though this latter feature apparently has been magnified because supplies oi high-grade pig iron are still scarce, particularly at the South. On the other hand, low grades are in plentiful supply, with little demand. Rails and structural steel are still well held, but there is talk of a tednc tion in prices for the latter product. The other metals are dull, and thf vhole weak. ' PACIFIC COAST TRADE. Seattle Market.. Onions, old, 7c; new, 2o. Lettuce, hot house, $1 per crato. Potatoes, $10017; $1718. Beets, per sack, 00c$l.
