WOULD SEEM TO SETTLE IT.

Henry Lockhart, who is known through
out the territory as conservative, trust
worthy and successful business man, is
one of the owners of the Crown Point
mine in the Cochiti district. He does not
believe in bindly investing in mining
properties however alluring they may ap-
pear to the eye. So he shipped carload
of Crown Point ore-an average sample
from across the vein-to the Socorro
smelter and had the same thoroughly
tested.
Here is what he says of the districts
"For the information of parties inter
ested in the Cochiti mining district
would state that returns from the carload
of ore shipped from the Crown Point
mine, to the Rio Grande smelter at Socor-
TO, gave results of 32-100 ounces in gold
and 80 ITO ounces in silver to the ton
making little over 500 to the ton
This is the first shipment from the dis
trict, except one from the Washington
mine some months since, all statements
and reports to the contrary notwith
standing. make this statement In order
that the people may not be mislead In re
gard to the outlook CT the district by
various unfounded rumors set afloat."
Such testimony from man enjoying
Mr.. LocLhart's reputation for veracity
goes long way toward dissipating al
doubt touching the permanent nature O
the wonderful discoveries at Cochitl. 1
the mineralized ore body in the Grown
Point, varying from ten to thirty feet il
width, mill runs 500 or even $50 to thu
ton, then it is settled that Cochiti boasts
at least one great wealth producer, ant
the chances are that there are dozer
mines in that locality that will turn ou
equally as good.

On statehood.

Delegate Joseph of New Mexico is
working hard to secure the passage of
the bill for the admission of his terri
tory as state. There is not much OPP
position to the measure on its merits,
but the Republicans think that they are
justified in making the Democrats pro-
duce q quorum before a vote is taken.
Their purpose in this is to secure favor
able consideration for the bill for the ad-
mission of Oklahoma, which the Demo
Gratis are opposed to. II the Democrats
would consent to the admission of Okla
homa the Republicans would let the New
Mexico bill come to vote at once

his part.
Deponent said that Miss Pollard stated
that Col. Breckinridge Introduced himself
to her The girls heard good deal of the
incident. and the name Breckinridge was
coupled with that of Miss Pollard out Of
fun. Deponent believed Miss Pollard as
pure-minded girl as she ever knew, with
considerably less experience with the ways
Of the world than other girls. DeDonent
believed that she was a girl who could have
been taken advantage of by a man of ex-
perience. and deponent believed that she
had been been taken advantage Of De-
pOnent had been absent the occasion
of Col Breckinridge's call upon Miss Pol

called on her.
The deponent said that the letter written
to her by Miss Pollard to be opened on her
graduation day was handed to Col. Brock
inridge by deponents husband. She never
authorized its publication. Col. Breckin-
ridge subsequently returned the letter
Since leaving college deponent had receives

examiner by defendants counsel, who,
against defendants objections, handed it to
the deponent. The deponent then allowed

RAILROAD HEARING.
Arguments on Proposed Overhead
Electric Tracks Today.

The Commissioners this afternoon gave a
public hearing to those persons interested
in House bill 55II. to incorporate the Boun-
dairy and National Park Elevated Railroad
Company. The Brott system OF rapil tran
sit Will be used.
Mr.. BrOtt, the inventor of the system ex-
planned in detail the workings of the road
In reply to a question he said that the sys-
tenn was not in use. and had never been
tried, although he had no doubt as to its
practicability. He stated further that as
yet no money had been subscribed to defray
the expenses of the road. which was esti-
mated to cost about $500 a mile for the
double track. The road was to be built
somewhat after the fashion of the elevated
road in New York. with the exception that
the framework would be attractive and
heavy tinnbers and cross ties would not be
used. The motive power was electricity,
to be conducted under the middle rail to the
car
Mr.. Evan Tucker, vice president of the
Northeast Washington Association, stated
that the people of his section wanted ad-
ditional railroad facilities, but did not think
every railroad scheme which contemplated
an entrance into the northeast territory
should be rushed through and given q
charter. He was opposed to al overhead
system, and said the noise Of the ears
would be great nuisance. Mr.. Brot- stated
he was contemplating the firing Of the
wheels of the cars with rubber.
The hearing was still in progress when
The Stars report closed.

FINANCE AND TRADE
The Industrials Take Second Place
in Speculation.
REACTION FROM RECENT ADVANCES
Western Unions Report Shows
Decreased Earnings.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS.


Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YORK. March 1.-THE reaction in
prices for which the bears have so patiently
and carried prices down from 1-2 to per
of the recent uninterrupted rise, and will
have good effect on specuiat ton, without
materially changing the character Of the
market The market was purely profess
sional, and consequently narrow in it's linn
itations. Traders We're disposed to buy
stocks around the opening, but, finding
themselves alone in the field, began a sell
ing movement. with the above result The
regular list was conspicuousiy active
throughout the day. and for the first time
in several weeks the industrial stocks were
relegated to second place.
London assisted in the early advance by
a liberal buying OF in terna tional securities
and reflected more confident tone.
Western Unions report for the quarter
ending last month shows decrease in
earnings of over half a million dollars. This
result was not unexpected, in view OF the
recent feeding out of the long stock, pre-
sumably for inside account. A decline of
per cent followed the publication of the
report, and predictions of continued de-
preston are heard on all sides. This COM
pany has competition and 4 falling off in
its general business to contend with. and
the bears are inclined 70 the belief that
the price of the stock will eventually tell
of the hopelessness of such a struggle.
Sugar sold up to 81 81 during the morn
ing. but reacted 1-2 per cent with the rest
of the market shortly after midday. The
transactions in this stock. while by no
means small, show a decided falling off
from previous records.
Among other bull arguments now being
trained on this stock is one of a possible
extra dividend to be declared out of the
handsome surplus now on hand.
Chicago Gas was freely sold for loss
of IL per cent on fears of a charter
being granted to rival concern at the
next meeting of councils.
The market rallied during the last hour
and closed dull, without special feature
