Outsiders, however, ferent view of tiie situation. It is the general belief that it is not the wooden crio which is on fire, hut the shale foot wall itself, which is said to be a very low grade of coal. This belief is strengthened by tiie fact- that the gas which is driving the men from the workings on Smuggler mountain is more like that from burning coal than wood. If this theory is correct, nothing hut the flooding of tiie mine will stop the fire. Already tiie gas has permeated the workings in the various mines on Smuggler mountain for two miles to the north of the Smuggler shaft, and 5(10 men have been driven out and two or three times that number will have to quit work if the fire is not quenched. The gas is gradually going lower, having now reached the seventh level. If it drives the men from tha pumps in the ninth level, it will mean the flooding of the district, as the Smuggler pumps are the principal ones in the listriet. The feeling here is very gloomy, aa shut-dow- n of the the of camp is certain principal mines to occur. it is believed a long FOXY SMUGGLER. the Ot her in Arizona. Washington, Nov. 16. A cu ious case of smuggling on the Mexican has been discovered border line recently by the government efficials at House with One Door In Mexico, Nogales, Arizona, and equally curious lotion has been taken to surpress it On May 6, last, land about Nogales was declared subject to entry, and among those who took advantage of the right was a man who made a town-sit- e selection directly on the international border line and immediately erected a large house thereon, with doors on both sides. By this means, according to official reports, the laws would he evaded by hacking up wagons laden with Mexican goods to the rear door of the house, which did not require crossing the line. The goods were then taken out of the door on the American side, and carried away. The ease was reported by the collector of customs, and he asked that no towusite be allowed unless there was a street set apart along the border to prevent this evasion. The general land office has acted on this proposition, and the president has made a reservation of a strip of land sixty feet wide and two miles long, at Nogales, which, it is expected, will secure this government its customs dues. The necessary surveys for the purpose are being made. IMPORTS AND EXPORTS. Monthly Statement Treaentad by Bureau of Statistic. Washington, Nov. 16.

Reaious Why Knights Wish to Restrict Immigration Louisville. Ky., Nov. 16 Tha morning session of the general assembly of the Knights of Labor was devoted to the discussion on the report of the committee on immigration. It was the prevailing sentiment that vigorous steps be taken to restrict immigration and statistics were presented showing that nearly 10,000,000 foreign laborers had come to America during the last twenty-threyears, all of which, it is claimed, worked a hardship on American workmen. The report that Fast Grand Master Workman Sovereign had stepped down because he was an aspirant for the president on a labor reform ticket in 1900 was vigorously denied. e Mail Carrier RoMmmI of 94.000 Warren, Idaho, Nor. 16.

Great Interest is manifested lere in the reported formation of f smelter trust to regulate the price f smelting ores, etc. One of the larg-s- t mine managers of the district sad: The object of tha smelter meeting owners and is known to the mine managers and as a result, there is prospect of a hittr fight, with the smelters arrayed oi one side and the mine managers aid owners on the other. This fight virtually started last Wednesday niht. at a meeting of mine owners ami mine managers of the camp. They ioroughly diseuxsed the question nd tecided to organize an associate tf protect their own interests against the smelters. In order tViow what the smelters ue of the mine manintended to f he had been requestagers stat ed by a u ti) enter into a contract for the,sal of his ore before the trust went pto effect. At this meeting in Leadville, we decided tint l circular should be gotten up, toheg-n- t to all the mine owners of the wst. This circular sets forth the objet of the association, and also calls for suggestions as to the time for holdig a meeting of all the mine owners. The mine n nagers insist that instead of allowig the smelters to regulate the price, hat they ought to do it themselves. They also object to the smelters gettir the benefit of the low rates and the :bates from tiie railroads, which, 1 is claimed, they are now receiving. There is ceainly a bitter fight in ight.

The matter of chief interest m the committee on bird protection, read by Chairman Willian Dutcher of New York. He prefaced the report with this statement: The continued use of feathers and birds on women's hats is, I think, due to an unwillingness on their parts to assume individual responsibility, most women know the cruelty entailed in obtaining the plumes that oraraent their hats, but they excused themselves on the ground that it wasnotcommit-te- d for me personally; it would have happened anyhow. Reports from western states were discouraging in that they told that the nse of aigrettes and feathers on hats was more popular this year than ever before. PROPOSED SEAL TREATY.
