In the United States supreme court, three decisions were rendered on appeals from the court of private land claims, involving as many grants in the territory of New Mexico, the grants affected being those known as the Pasteure, the San Antonio and the San Diego grants. In all theae cases the court decided against the claimants, and the supreme court today affirmed the decision in each case. DrnlN Ho Is a Candidate. Washington, Nov. 16. There la no truth in the statement recently published to the effect that the secretary to the president, John Addison Porter, will be a candidate for the United States senate in nextycar's election in Connecticut Secretary Porter declines to be interviewed on the subject, but is emphatic in the assertion that under no circumstances will the use of his name be allowed in this connection. inasmuch as they litre tarrying lines of steam pipes to within a short distance of the fire, and hope in a few hours more to be playing it. Outsiders, however, take a different view of the situation. It Is the general belief that it is not the wooden crib which is on fire, but the shale footwall itself, which is said to be a very low grade of coal. This belief is itrengthened by the 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 but the flooding of the miue will stop the fire. Already the gas has permeated th workings in the various mines on Smuggler mountain for two miles to the north of the Smuggler shaft, and 500 men have been driven out and two or three times that number will have to quit work if the fire is not qncnched. The gas is gradually going lower, having now reached the seventh level. If It drives the men from the pumps in the ninth level, it will mean the flooding of the district, as the Smuggler pumps are the principal ones in the district. The feeling here is very gloomy, as n of the it is believed a long certain is of the mines camp principal to occur. up-a- n shut-dow- FOXY SMUGGLER.

The goods were then taken out of the door on the American side, and carried away. The case waa reported by the collector f customs, and he asked that no townaite be allowed unless there was i street set apart along the border to prevent this evasion. The general land office has acted on this proposition, and the president bas 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 lues. The necessary surveys for the purpose are being made. sase IMPORTS AND era of the district said: "The object of this smelter meeting is known to the mine owners and mine managers and, as a result, there is prospect of a bitter fight, with the smelters arrayed on one side and the mine managers and owners on the other. "Thit fight was virtually started last Wednesday night, at a meeting of mine owuers and mine managers of the camp. They thoroughly discussed the question and decided to organize an association to protect their own interests against the smellers. "In order to show what the smelters Intended to do, one of the mine managers stated that he had been requested by a smelter to enter into a contract for the sale of his ore before tha trust went into effect. "At this meeting in Leadvllle, we decided that a circular should be gotten up, to be sent to all the mine owners of the west. This circular seta forth the object of the association, and also calls for suggestions as to the time for holding a meeting of all the mine owners. "The mine managers insist that instead of allowing the smelters to regulate the price, that they ought to do it themselves. They also object to the smelters getting the benefit of the low rates and the rebates from the railroads, which, it is claimed, they are now receiving. "There ia certainly a bitter fight ia sight.
