The Willard Socks.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 25.-To-day
the conference OF the railroad sphinx,
AS the managers are termed, evolved
nothing important as far as can be
learned. The Northern Pacific con-
tinues to make the game, but who is
going to win is still an open question.
1t is rumored this evening that the
Vanderbilt interest is no longer in the
plot to obtain control If the Northern
Pacific; that is now confined to
Gould and the Central Pacific people.
The uncertainty of Wall street, as in
dicated in to-day's dispatches, had a
CORE ponding effect on the conferees.
1t is probable that t,-morrow's quo
tations will help the managers to ar
rive at a decision. Tue belief is that
if Wizards stocks can stand the
strain of Wall street they will come
off conquerors here. and secure good
percentage of the Pacific Coast pool.

That Subcommittee.

New YORK, Sept. 26.-Joseph
MAdill, publisher of the Chicago
Tribune. was witness to-day before
the United States Senate Sub-COm
mittee on education and labor. He
said he had been connected with the
press since 1913. The chief cause,
he said. of the inpecunious condition
of the masses oflaborers in this cOun-
try, can be attributed to their own
improvidence, and the only way t,
improve their condition, was to teach
ben to save. Too much of tue
earnings OF laborers are spent in
liquor AID tobacco. 1t has been cal
cuiated th,t the amount annually
spent Ivy the population in drinks,
was $40, 600, ,OJO, and /; t least $780,
OO,, 900 more was spent in cigars. te-
bacc. anh useless anlusement>. High
licenses and high rents would do
much toward lessening the evil.

1HE MINES.
Views Of an Expert on the Load
ing Properties of Summit
Valley.

Mr.. Longmaid, the we'll known
mining expert, was recently in Salt
Lake, and the Tribune reporter elici-
ted from him the following interest
ing notes regarding some of our lead
ing properties: Mr.. Longmaid says
Butte continues to prosper as a min
ing camp. All the standard mines
are producing better than ever, and
methods Of reducing ores are con-
stantIy being improved The Lex
ington shipped $4,000 last month;
the Alice SILT, 900; the Moulton in
the same proportion. The Silver Bow,
In which Mr.. Davis. former owner
of the Lexington, is now a power,
shares in the equal Improvement.
Banker Clark is working several OF
his mines outside of the Moulton.
The Acquisition has done nothing
fortwo years. The Gagnon has passed
into the hands of Col. Thornton, and
is better than ever before. In the
deeper workings they struck recently
bunch or chute of 1000 or. ore.
The product of the Gagnon goes to
the Williams (Hill's) slnelter, really
q branch of the Argo works. Mr..
Meader is working up a new copper
mine scheme. OF the copper mines,
the Anaconda has passed to the head.
1t is opened for q length of 1. 400 feet;
on the 400 level 1t is torty-five feet
at one point; it has 10000 tons of ore
on the dump; it has just contracted
the sale of 900 tons of so per cent.
copper ore in the old country, where
it is to be shipped; it is about to tuild
reducing works at the Warm Springs,
thirty-three miles below Butte, capa-
bic of handling dressing and sme.t-
ing) 500 IONS of raw ores per day. The
rich copper ore occurs in punches
and chutes, and carries but little
silver. There must be more than one
ounce of silver to each one
per cent. of copper in
the matte to make the former metal
of any considerable value, for the
process of separation is expensive.
The indications in all the deeper
workings of the copper belt are that
the copper will gradually go out and
leave the silver ores. The Colusa
(Montana Co. are smelling IS tons
per day. and the Parrott 40 tons.
But the latter have recently increased
their dressing plant, so as to bal
ahce their smelling plant, aud are
now prepared to produce 100000 lbs.
of copper per month; on which the
profit will be about $4,000. What
the Belle is doing, if Mr.. Longmaid
mentioned, we did not catch. Many
new enterprises are gradually being
carried toward the producing stage.
The practical extension of the North
ern Pacific to Butte is expected to
reduce the cost of mining and re-
ducing ores at Butte quite materially.
Altogether, the progress of the camp
is most satisfactory, and is an earnest
of great future.

A Damaging Storm.

Bos ron, Sept. PA storm last

James Parish, q servant on the
steamer Melros-, on which the crime
was committed, and Thomas Jones,
the bOatswaln, both eye witnesses of
the murder, repeated the testimony
they gave before the Court at Cape
town.
The bullet found upon the floor of
! the cabin Of the steamer. and the piS-
, tol taken from O'DonDeli were pro-
duced, and identified. Jones swore
that O'Donnell's words to Mrs. Ca
rey. after shooting her husband, were,
"shake hands. Mrs. Carey, l did not
do it,
Carey's son testified that after wit
Messing O'Donneil shoot his fat her he
ran to the latter's berth and obtained
his revolver. but had not time to give
it to him before one of the officers of
the steamer took it from him. He
said he heard O'Donnell tell his
mother. that he (O'DunnelD was "sent
to do it." O'Donnell's revolver bore
the name of its manufacturer in Now
Haven, Conn.
The captain of the MelrOse testified
to finding the electric machine in the
prisoners luggage; the machine, he
said, Was thrown overheard.
Mrs. Carey, the next witness. was
unable to give her testimony to-day
owing to fatigue. The statement OF
the son of Carey that O'DOnnell said
he "was sent to do it, created sen
satiOn III the court room.
John Marvin, inspector of the Port
Elizabeth police, also testified. He
said an extract from paper was
found in ODonnells S box, headed
Irish Revolutionists in America"
1t was a supplement to the Weekly
Freemans JvurndL, published in
Dublin, containing a portrait OF Carey,
and certificates showing that O'Don-
nell was All American citizen were
also found.
Poland agreed that every facility
shoul be given the prisoners solicit
or during the trial. The examination
was continued until Friday.
O'Donnell was conveyed from the
court house to Newgate prison instead
of Millbank, owing to the instruc-
tiOns given at the last moment. An
extra police force is stationed at New
gate. O'Donnell on leaving the court
house and entering the prison van,
raised his hat to the crowd of sympa-
thiZtrs. who clapped their hands and
cheered.
