SITUATION AT WARDNER

CITIZENS IX DREAD OP FURTHER i OUTRAGES BY STRIKERS. Gen. Mrrrlnm Ordered to Consult with the Governor of Idaho Regarding Troops Other Labor Neivs. WARDNER. Ida., May 1. There were no disturbances in the mining district to-day. Eleven men were seen from Wardner going over the mountains, each with a rifle on hl3 shoulder, but their identity or destination was not known. A considerable number of nonunion men leit on the train to-day and also a few strikers. Citizens are in dread of further outrages from now until the arrival of troops. State Auditor Bartlett Sinclair arrived to-day as a representative of Governor Steunenberg. He is searching for evidence against the dynamiters, but cannot make much headway before the arrival of troops. James Cheyne, wounded by dynamiters on Saturday, is not expected to live until morning. To-day the body of Jack Smith, who was killed by his fellow-rioters, was brought down from the miners' union hall in Burke and is at Wallace, in charge of an undertaker named by Coroner France. The remains will be brought here in time for the Inquest. This will be held at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon. Unless the soldiers have arrived in the meantime the inquest may be postponed. A telephone message to-day from Manager Burkeridge, of the Bunker Hill and Sullivan, directed that the old force stay together here in expectation of the revival of work. Excavation of the ruins of the mill to-day disclosed the fact that the vault and safe had been successfully blown open by the rioters before the building itself was destroyed. Only a few smoldering ashe9 were found within the safe. The loss to the company from the destruction of hundreds of valuable documents will be immense. Pendlnsr the arrival of troops the town is In a state of strained suspense. What heightens the anxiety is the general doubt as to when the troops will arrive. In the absence of troops it would be folly to at tempt the resumption or work at tne Bunker Hill mine under nonunion control. Any attempt to do 'so would assuredly result in a revival of the riots of 1SIC Out breaks like that of Saturday could be re peated as often and as violently as the strikers may desire. President Bradley, of San Francisco, now refuses to make any statement regarding the company s policy. State Auditor Bartlett Sinclair, the special representative of Governor Steunenburg. ar rived here to-day. He declares emphatical ly for law and order.

The whole matter is in the hands of General Merriam. Wag-e of 3,SOO Increased.

The New Union Match Company, with Capital of flO.OOOOOO, Organised to Fight Other Concerns. NEW YORK, May 1. A consolidation of the peanut Industry of the country, under the control of a single company, with a capital of J3.000.CO0, is about to be effected. The promoter of the consolidation several months agro secured options from many of the peanut growers. Some of the larger ones declined to give options, but it Is said that, now that the plan of consolidation is known, most of them are willing to sell and take stock in the new company. The options expire on May 13 next, and the promoters express confidence that the new company, which is to be called the American Peanut Company, will be Incorporated before then. The main offices and warehouses of the company are to be in Norfolk, Va., and shipments will be made from that point to the large cities of the country, in stead of being distributed from New York, as has been the custom in the past. The value of the peanut crop of the United States annually is estimated at between J6.000.000 and ,000,000. One of the plans of the consolidation Is to increase the product and export part of it. The peanut crop of the United States is raised almost entirely in Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee. Organized to Fight Match Trusts. NEW YORK, May L Explanation "was made to-day regarding the incorporation at Trenton, N. J, on Saturday last of the Union Match Company, with a capital of 910.000,000. It had 'been stated that this new company was the nucleus of the consolida tion of the Diamond Company, of Chicago, and Edwin Gould's Continental Company. William M. Ivins, one of the incorporators of the Union Company, set at rest these rumors to-day. He said:. 'This is not a con solldatlon. It's an ordinary corporation, or ganlzed to manufacture and sell matches In the United States and Canada in competition with the Diamond Company, the Continental Company and other concerns. The stock is not offered for sale and will not be listed. The company has arranged to buy the Barnes patents and the Cook patents for match making and match-boxing machines. These are the most modern end economical automatic machines ever devised. Each match machine, with its complement of boxing machines, will daily make W.OiW.OOO matches, make the boxes for them and pack them ready for shipment. This so far reduces the cost of production that the company fears no competition. The Union Match Company has bouKht the nlant of the Adirondack Match Company, a wellKnown concern, wnicn win be enlarged and equipped with the newest machinery, and the Union Match Company will enter the fleld"of competitive manufacture and sl at once." Mr. Ivins added that the Union Company would sell matches at a lower price man tne otner companies. Biff Flouring: 31111 Company.

GAS FIELDS IN KANSAS

COVER EIGHTY SQUARE 3IILES IX SOUTHEAST CORNER OF STATE. The Natural Fuel Discovered hy Ac cident No Room, but Ample Evidence that Kansas Has a Future. Iola (Kan.) Letter In Chicago Record. The gas fields of Kansas cover a tract of eighty square miles in the southeastern corner of the State, Just where cheap fuel Is most needed, and furnish a remarkable illustration of the wisdom of nature. The zinc mines of Kansas and Missouri, of al most unlimited deposits, are so near that the flames of the gas wells may almost be seen from the shafts. In Indian Territory, a few miles to the south, are coal and petroleum In practically Inexhaustible quanti ties, and all around the gas fields are beds of clay which make the best brick in the world. Sooner or later some one is going to find sand for glassmaklng and Iron ore. which will make southeastern Kansas a center of industry similar to the gas fields of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. Here, In a little area not much larger than Rhode Island, have been assembled by the hand of the Creator all the necessary materials for several of tho most important mechanical Industries. To the north and west and south is an agricultural country that produces the l?st and cheapest food in the world. To the east are the great forests of Arkansas, which will furnish timber in abundance within easy distance. A little farther south are the cotton fields of Texas, and It will not be many years before a large part of their crop will be consumed here by factories fed by natural gas, the cheapest, the most convenient &nd the best fuel in the world. There has been no boom In the gas district. People out in this (ountry have a hor ror of "booms" the result of experience and nothing has been done to create an excitement or bring In money or labor" that is not needed. The gas wells now are utilized chiefly for smelting, brickmaklng, flour and paper mill3 and for domestic purposes. A man pays $1 a month during the winter and 50 cents during the summer for heating and an equal amount for lighting his house, in cluding fuel for the cook stove. There are no ashes, no dust and no kindlings are needed. When he gets up In the morning he strikes a match and lights the kitchen fire. He sets the furnace going in the same way and can start a fire in the grate easier than one can light an oil lamp. Companies are being organized to pipe the gas for manufacturing and domestic purposes to Topeka, Kansas City and other large towns. There are now about twenty wells In the Iola district, varying in depth from M2 to 37 feet. Riving a dally flow of from 3,000.000 to 14.un0.0uo cubic feet and a pressure varying from 310 to 330 pounds. Several experts have pronounced one of the wells at Iola the best In the world. It Is perfectly dry. No water has ever flowed from it. The pressure gauge stands at 319 pounds day after day. and there is an open flow of 7,140,000 cubic feet of gas every twenty-four hours, which is equivalent In heat units to 233 tons of bituminous coal. This would be sufficient to run a 4.U00 horse-power engine and furnish enough light and fuel for a town of 5.CO0 inhabitants. WHERE THE GAS IS FOUND. Professor Grimsley, the state geologist of Kansas, tells me that "the Iola gas occurs In a porous sand rock, and when the wells are drilled about fifteen feet into It the pressure Is so great that it throws out the tools. The gas is held in this rock by a cap of hard shale from one to eight feet in thickness. The total volume of the twenty wells at present is about 185,000,000 cubic feet a day, but the most of them are not used. The wells lie about 170 feet above the sea level. With regard to the duration of this supply," he says, "there Is very little data, because of the newness of the field, and the fact that most of the wells are shut In to prevent leakage. The life of any gas field Is limited, but I believe from my studies that the Iola field will outlive all the others. Tho Robert Lanyon smelter has used gas from the same well for two years and the pressure has fallen but five pounds. When they shut off the gas for a short time the original pressure, was restored. They have a pressure of 320 pounds, but they only use about eight ounces." it is estimated that 1.000,000 cubic feet of gas has the energy of fifty tons of coal, hence the wells already drilled at Iola have a capacity of 9,250 tons of coal daily. Experiments are now being made in the manufacture of white lead, sewer pipe, glass and other articles. A Detroit company is putting up large cement works. A brick company Is getting ready for the manufacture of sewer pine and the representatives of several other industries are now on the ground making inquiries and looking over the field. Like many other important discoveries, the knowledge of this great source of wealth came by accident. They fed Kansas gas to the invalids for twenty years before they knew what it was, and many remarkable cures were effected. The certificates of grateful patients are now still on file with the Acer's sanitarium. . Away back in 1S73 a party of coal prospectors struck what they believed to be a mineral spring. The water had a peculiar taste and was full of bubbles. It was bottled and sold in large quantities for medicinal purposes, and a large sanitarium was built at the spot go that suffering humanity could go to the fountain head for relief. I do not say that the 'cures It wrought were entirely imaginary, although some people down here like to Joke about them, while others think such Jokes are much out of taste. At any rate, the people who were benefited by using the water have nothing to complain of, and they are the real parties in Interest. Some fifteen years later, when the boom was on in the Indiana gas fields, other prospectors sunk new wells, and in several cases got signs of gas, Just enough to tantalize them and convince the scientists that there was a plenty here if it could be found. So preat was the confidence that the town of Iola Issued bonds to pay the expenses of the prospectors, and when the proceeds were exhausted the city government entered into a contract with a Cleveland company to continue the Investigation, with a liberal franchise as its reward If successful. Finally, at about 800 feet, the company struck a splendid well and the prospecting was continued until a field of from sixty to a hundrd miles of area was developed. FIRST TO USE GAS. The first reople to use the gas for manufacturing purposes to any extent were the Lanyons, a family of Cornlshmen, who came to this country fifty years ago and settled at Mineral Point, Wis., where they have been manufacturing zinc oxides ever since. There were eleven children In the original family, nine of them boys. All married end have raised large families, who have gen erally followed the occupation of their fathers, so that scattered over the country ate now eighty or more men named Lanyon engaged in smelting zinc. You can find them at Mineral Point, Wis.. La Salle and Peru, 111., Nevada and Jopln, Mo., and wherever there is a zinc mine. Most of the machinery and processes now used in reducing zinc are the invention of the Lanyons, and wherever they have gone they have been successful In that peculiar trade. They built and are running the smelters at Iola and four cousins re acting as managers here. These are said to be the finest zinc smelters in the world. The machinery is all new and much of it Is of recent Invention, while the natural gas. with Its steady flow, enables them to maintain a regular temperature day after day without varying, which is necessary to successful smelting. They have been In operation only about two years. The value of the product in 1VJ7 was ll.JO.KO and in it was S1.33!.CrtS. The falling off last year was due to the destruction of one of the largest plants by fire, which has since been rebuilt and enlarged, so that the product for the current year will doubtless exceed $2.000,0X). The first zinc smelter in Kansas was established In 1S73 at Weir City. In 1W3 the total product of the State had reached 22,815 tons, and In 1895 it was 33,443 tons, valued at J2.755.703. The construction of the smelters at Iola practically stopped the Importation of zinc and gave a surplus for export in competition with the mines of Wales and Germany, for they added 33 per cent, to the product cf this country. The zinc ore comes from a strip of land about 101 miles long and forty miles wide In the southwestern corner of Missouri and the souiheastern corner of Kansas, th cities of Joplin, in the former State, and Galens. In the latter, txizz the ralnics centers. Tcey

d'g zinc very much as they do coal and find It In pockets or seams from thirty to 300 feet below the surface. It looks like bituminous coal when it comes from the ground, although it is of a yellowish-brown color. There are three kinds of ore carbonates, which are mixed with clay; silicate, which is yellow, sparking sand, and resinous or "Jack" ore, which is hard and flinty and comes like gold in crystal of quartz. It Is first crushed into powder and then subjected to a powerful and regular hery which consumes the foreign substances and leaves the metal. There 13 a great boom in zinc Just now, and the price has advanced from S22 to a ton within the last few months. The operators here expect to see it go to 50 before the end of the month and remain there. The advance is said to be due to the demand both In this country and in Europe, and not to any speculative Influence. Enormous quantities of zinc are ued nowadays In the manufacture cf electrical supplies and for galvanizing, and In anticipation of a still further and permanent Increase the miners and the smelters are enlarging their capacity of production. .A curious by-product is chloride or salts of zinc, which formerly went to waste, but now is used as a wood preservative by railroads, bridge builders and dock builders and for the protection of shingles, clapboards, pillars and any other wood that Is exposed to moisture or Influences that cause decay. The salts of zinc. In solution, by hydraulic pressure are forced Into the pores of the wood, which is then soaked in a strong solution of tannin and glue. The ties and piling now used on the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific and other Western roads are treated in this manner. The railway companies named use from 3.000.000 to 4.000.000 pounds a year each. With this treatment a pine tie. which Is the only kind that can be found out in the mountain country, will last three times as long as one of oak. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES.

Since her divorce from Mr. Aronson. some seasons ago, she has led a more or le.s eventful life In Europe. Asia and Africa, with occasional brief visits to this country. According to dispatches received by her press agent here, the singer, animated by a laudable thirst for information regarding the inner lire or Mohammedan women in the Sultan's harem, forced her way Into the sacred sanctuary of a mosque, the location of which Is vaguely described as being a five days' journey from Tangier, for the purpose or having a few heart-to-heart talks with the Inmates of the harem.
