1T WAS NOT ALL SMOKE.
q. WALDO SMITH AND JAMES b. DUKE
BEFORE MR. LEXOw.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE AMERICAN TOBACCO
COMPANY ADMITS THAT HIS CONCERN CON
Trolls 90 PEP CENT OF THE CIGAR
E.-TE TRADE--INTEREsT1NG TEs-
rIMoNY AS TO THE RUBBER
TRUST POSSIBLE.
The Joint Legislative Committee which Is in
vestigating the workings of trusts resumed its
labors in the Council Chamber of the City Hall
Yesterday morning AS the committee must
present its report to the Legislature on March
l. the final session will be held tomorrow. III Is
not probable that any other trust VIII be taken
up after Senator Lexow gets through with 'he
American Tobacco Company. whose presiuen'
was on the stand yesterday. 1t Is antclpa'eu
that IL the committee dives deeply enough in'o
the history and methods OF the America" ~
oacco Company more interesting discoveries VIII
be brought to light than even In the cases Vi '"e
Ruhber and Sugar trusts AS trust IT has peen
particularly bold and its operations nav 'e'',
such as 10 bring il to the attention of the Grand
Jury On account of the meeting Oh 'he poa' u
Of Aldermen Yesterday afternoon, the committee
Noe oroh,ad 70 hold only one session. G. Waldo
cr,,,h tho president of the Wholesale Grocers'
Association WAS the first witness called and he
made on energetic defence of the action of the
Sugar Trust in fixing the price Of sugar by means
of factors. agreements. He corroborated the as
sertion Of Mr. Searles that these agreements
wore resolved upon only at the solicitation OF the
Wholesale Grocers' Association: but he was
forced TO admit that the trust by the agree
n,ents practically stifed competition.
lanes B. Duke the president of the American
Tobacco Company. was in the chair for less
than an hour: but In that time he admitted that
his corporation had obtained control Of 40 per
cent Of the cigarette trade. and was. to all IN
tents n monopoly, inasmuch as only about III
nor cent of the trade was left for about d
hundred other concerns that were engaged In
the manufacture Of cigarettes II was ascer-
tanned also from Mr.. Duke that the trust mad
closed down three of the factories 1t had &C.
ouired. resulting in the discharge OF several
hundred men and women.
II is possible that the committee may occupy
itself further with the affairs of the Rubber
Trust. Senator Lexow was informed yester-
dav morning that Joseph Banigan. Of No. W
Chambers-st a former president OF the Unlteo
States Rubber Company. was anxious TO TESTIFY
before the committee. Mr.. Banigan was the
owner of the Woonsochet Rubber Company be-
fore II was ACQUIRED by the trust. His relations
with some members Of the trusts directorate
have not been Of the pleasantest nature TOT
sonoe months and II is reported that he proposes
10 start another rubber factory at OlheyN'"e'
r. L. for the purpose of fighting the trust oo"'
senuently if he Is called 70 the stand to-day Vi
tomorrow, Mr. Banigan may have much VI
interest to tell the committee.

Though emember. YOU eau soon forget
With you the past will leave no cling

There were castles, but they fell;
There were joys-they only lasted
Till learned TO love them we'll;
There were shrines, where oft faltered--
Hopes and pleasures there amassed,-
And | see them, sadly altered,
In the vista Of the past
There were idols-they have crumbled
Like the castles in the air
Down that lane. through which stumbl, {
There is nothing but despair;
There are scenes-familar places
All by sorrow overcast,
There are many different faces

There's "a cup, but it is broken.

There's labyrinth, confusing,

A RICH GOLD BELT.
A Promising Section of the Great
Seven Devils Country.
MOUNTAIN VIEW DISTRICT.
well Developed Veins With Good Gold
Yalues-Situated Northwest Of the
Famous Copper Camp.

North of the Sommers district and
Northwest of Seven Devils copper
camp, is the Mountain View district.
Nearly all of the copper district is on
the Snake river side of the divide,
while the Sommers and Mountain
View dintricts are principally drained
by Rapid river into the Salmon.
The properties included in the
Sommers district were recently men :
toned; those in the Mountain View
may be summarized as follows:
Summit mine, Welch & Wirtz, 3
feet nice clean quartz, average $50
per ton, shaft down rs feet on vein
Maid of Erin, same owners Vein
feet quartz running from $50 TO $40
per ton
These two claims are II miles
apart. Between is situated the beau
tlful Black, of about 80 acres, the
outlet OF which will furnish spIen-
did water power the year around
North of these is Curran Hill on
which Hugh Curran and Robert
Glenn, formerly of DeLamar, have
several promising claims recently To-
Gated. Another group recently To-
Gated by Stiford Huff & Joe Brown,
of Silver City, promises to become
valuable.
North of these, on another hill is
group of claims owned by Geo. Hol-
brook, consisting of five claims.
These run from 2 to 6 feet in thick
ness and assays from 81 to $40 pei
ton. Only annual assessment work
done.
East of Holbrook's is the Hildan.
brand group, nine claims. One ledge
samples SIT per ton fof 800 feet,
to 5 feet thick
West of these on the divide, be
tween Rapid and Snake, is situate,
the Blaine owned by Curran q Glenn
This is one of the best prospects
in camp, The surface broken, hug
boulders of quartz are found running
$50 per ton in gold. One hundred
feet of drift has recently been run
Vein now solid, showing five fee
clean quartz containing free golt
sylvanite aud some iron pyrates par
italy oxidized. Low grade ore vii
run $50 per ton; high grade is spotte
and hard to estimate until more wor
is done.
Close to the Blaine is the Dora G
and Leadville, owned by Currar
Glenn & Gallagher; both on th
same vein, about 10 feet wide; assa
on the Leadville $40 90 gold; Dor
G. So close to surface.
Northeast of these is the clail
owned by Joe Jackley and j. Keller
beautiful ledge 8 feet wide, 81 golc

North of the Jackley claim an
creek is Carbonate Hill, about twit
