CHEiPER RATES.
Veterans From Distance Want to Come
10 the Reunion.

Captain Thomas Elicit yesterday morn
ing received a communication from Camp
Winnie Davis, No. Jos, L. c. v, Of Texas,
stating that a number of the veterans Of
that organization desire 20 come 10 the
reunion, but will be unable 10 do so I'M
less the transportation rates are consid-
erably reduced.
Il can't understand why some Of the
roads refuse TO make a rate that Will
draw them immense patronage said
Captain Elicit. THE rate We would Ike
to have for the reunion has been given by
these roads on occasions of a similar
character in the past
While there is not the slightest doubt
that there will be an immense throng
of visitors I'm the city during the reunion
there would be very large addition from
distant States If a sufficiently low rate
OF transportation could be secured. Tn
less this is given from distant points by
the railroads. the crowds will be drawn
almost exclusively fram Virginia and
neighboring States. For short distances
a satisfactory rate has already been OBJ
tanned. and the transportation committee
are now working encrgetically to get
cheap rates for long distances.

THE DENVER CHAMBER OF COM.
MERGE ON OUI; FINANCIAL ILLS.

The Chamber Of Commerce Of the city

made by the Chamber of Commerce OF
New York city, that all such bodies
should take positive action In reference
10 the free coinage OF silver with view

party conventions upon that subject. II
was TO be expected that Denyer's Cham
Der OF Commerce would be out Of line
with other such bodies. ana this natural
expectation has been fully realized. II
has responded with a freo-siver circular
OF It's own. Amongst other things, 1t
says: eve must remind you that not
single promise or prediction Of the gold
standard advocate have been verified by
the logic Of time. In 1915 we were warn
ed that Government coinage Of silver
would debauch our currency and drive
out gold. While the practice continued
money was stable and plentiful and gold
flowed 10 our shores In abundance. The

mission Company of Pachuaca
will begin the last of this month
to send power into that impor-
tant mining city from water
falls twenty-five miles distant
and it is estimated it Will be
able to furnish 1900 horse pow
er. Several great reduction
works will take this power at
an annual charge of $3.50 per
horse power per twenty-four
continuous hours daily. The
Pelton water wheels are en-
ployed and all machinery and
electric supplies are from the
United States.
A slight Improvement in
mining stocks and a revival Of
speculation is predicted. The
Pechuaca silver mines, which
have been flooded, have suffer
ed a loss of a quarter of mil
Hon dollars per month and the
loss to the State government
is $4,000 monthly in taxes
and by Gripping all dependent
industries, and owing to this
fact 1000 miners have left the
city. Gov. Cravioto says the
only explanation of the long
delay in taking measures to re-
store the mines to former acti-
witty is the rivalry and jealous
les OF the great mine owners
and company managers.
There is renewed interest in
the great Murdoch tunnel pro-
Ject. similar to the famous SUI

ACCIDENT AT BROOK
IYN NAVY YARD.

New York, Aug. Io.-An
accident which caused upwards
of 100000 damage occurred
at the navy yard in Brooklyn
Saturday night. The scene Of
the disaster was the dry dock
built about seven years ago.
A wave caused by a passing
sound steamer forced itself
past the heavy caisson at the
mouth of the dry dock and
capsized it, throwing it into
the dock and allowing the
water to rush in, was the
cause of the mischief. The
force of the water caused the
mornings of the torpedoboat
Ericsson to snap and the boat
was hurled against the end Of
the dock, carrying away about
twelve feet of the forward end
of the dock.
