for the various years:

The original capital in 1872 was
$4,000. The report concludes as fol-
lows: "We find that the stockholders
have received in cash dividends $2,47O,-
$3.50 in excess Of all moneys paid in by
them as contributions to capital stock
from 1872 to March 10, 1897"
Mr.. Boyle's speech was highly compli-
mented and it was conceded that he had
left nothing undone to present the case
in it's most favorable light.
In his argument against the new law
Elk. Chief Justice Horton insisted that
the business Of the Stock Yards
Company was in the nature Of inter
state commerce and that therefore
the Legislature had no jurisdiction over
the matter of rates. He also stated that
the law had not been regularly passed.
His principal point was that the value
Of the company's property should be
determined by the value of it's stock. It
is now capitalized for over 81, 100000 and
is worth about 136, which would make
it's total value about 100000. He was
OF the opinion that the company was
entitled to dividends on this amount.
The value above that Of the stock is
alleged to be ngood will. Itthese points
are sustained by the court the law will
be knocked out. II the court finds that
reasonable valuation is 100000,
then the profits now earned will not be
found to be abnormsly large.

other Ga per cent. was profits and interest
on fictitious capital. He thought such
profit was an outrage on stock ship
pers. He said it required the best
talent that money could secure to make
the pretended capital of the company so
large as to make dividends look reason
able, and even then they could not in
fate 1t sufficiently without putting in
$3,50O,OOO for good will. Another point
he dwelt on a great deal is the fact that
a great many cattle are fed on cars. If
the rates were fixed as reasonably for
feed as the law Of 1897 contemplates no,
body would feed cattle in cars, and hence
the Stock Yards Company would do
much larger business and as a con-
sequence their profits would be increased.
A statement prepared by State Ac.
countant Riggs and Expert Accountant
Stagg was submitted. It shows the
total dividends paid to be $4, 32S,604.

Kansas City, Mo-, pays $780, 600 a year in

last year were about 100000. The ex.
pense Of handling the business and rea-
sonable profit to the companies would not
amount to 100000, which means that prop
erty owners of that city are robbed Of

YUKON AND KLONDYKE.
Probably the Richest Gold Mines Ever
Found.

SEATTLE, WASH, July 22.-E. M.
Culbertson, who went to the Klondyke
(Alaska) last spring, has written home,
saying:
"We heard stories about the mines
that will scarcely be believed. One claim
washed out over sl5O,OOO in one day, and
others as high as 100000 and 100000,
Some have had to clean up ten boxes as
high as three times day, but this clean
up does not represent one days work,
but the wash for the whole winter.
"The bonanza claims, Of course, are all
taken up, and the creeks where the rich
finds have been made are taken clear up
to the tops OF the mountains, but we
hope to get hold Of something that will
satisfy before long. The stories we heard
in Seattle do not half tell Of their rich
ness; but they don't belong to us, and
the only thing we can do is the next
best and try to find some more. When
we arrived here the miners were nearly
out of provisions.
"Wages are SIS day at the diggings,
but they are trying to cut down to $40,
and most Of the men on claims that they
tried to cut quit and came back to camp,
as they claimed they could not afford to
work for less than $15 and pack their
grub over the trail, and one Of the worst
trails you can imagine, as | can vouch
for, and l think | can give very good
idea Of their condition by a description
man gave me. He said, 1T was like walk
ing through rotten straw The country
is all covered with moss from two to
four feet deep, and the frost is out about
twelve or fourteen inches and you 60
down to the bottom at every step. The
mines are fifteen miles from here, and
they pay % cents pound to have sup
plies packed in, but when it freezes up
it is an easy matter to sled supplies up
the river and creeks, and il we get located
this summer will take in ayears supplies
that way"
STEAMERS TO TAKE SUPPLIES.
The North American Trading a. Trans
portation Company, in which P. b.
Weare and John Cudahy Of Chicago are
heavily interested, has chartered another
steamer which will sail from Seattle
August 5, loaded with 1000 tons Of
provisions and sixty.fvs or seventy pas
sengers for st. Mchaels, on the Yukon
River. This steamer, the Grover Cleve-
land, is in addition to the one sailing
August 20. The provisions will be un.
loaded at st. Michael and taken up the
Yukon River by the boats Of the COM
pany. Mr. Weare is receiving hundreds
Of letters daily from prospective travellers
to the new sldorado.
COMPARED WITH CALIFORNIA GOLD.
Assistant Weigher w. A. Underhill Of
the selby Smelling Company California,
states that the gold from the Yukon is
not Of so much value as that pFoduced
in California. In speaking Of this matter,

New York Sept. 30.-Riordan & Co. say
of cotton: The cotton market was quiet
to-day, and the feeling was slightly more
cheerful. Liverpool advanced one point
this morning, and our market opened
three to four points higher. After the
opening, the executions of a few selling
orders caused the early advance to be
lost. Receipts however were again quite
moderate, and a good demand soon deVel-
oped. The bidders ran the market up sew
en- or eight points. AT these prices there
was plenty for sale, and the best part of
the rally was lost again. January opened
at 6.3Sc, declined to 6.34c, advanced to
6.41c, declined to G. SEC, and closed at that
figure with the tone of the market barely
steady. General opinion is still adverse
to cotton but on all breaks there seems
to be a fairly good demand"

New ORLEANS, Nov. YESTERDAY
was another encouraging day in the
yellow fever situation, but it is feared
that the heavy rain which has fallen
will have bad effect upon the
patients and will cause many new cases
to be developed to-day. Cold weather
is expected to succeed the rain. The
board of health report was: Cases of
yellow fever, So; deaths, 5; total cases
of yellow fever to date, 1910; total
deaths from yellow fever to date, 1856;
total cases absolutely recovered, 745;
total cases under treatment, $50.
Only three new cases of yellow fever
were reported at Memphis, Tenn, by
the board of health for the "a hours
ending at nine o'clock last night.
There were no deaths. The situation
is much brighter and no further alarm
is felt by the citizens generally.
At Mobile, Ala, the number of new
cases yesterday reached the high water
mark of four weeks ago, the total be-
ing II for the previous "a hours.
At Montgomery, Ala, six new cases
of yellow fever were reported yesteI-
day and no deaths.

Fine Counterfeit Silver Dollars Circulating
in st. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, Nov 1.-Counterfeit silver
dollars of greater weight and fneness
than those turned out from Uncle
Sans mints are the latest in the coun-
terfeiter's art and st. Louis is the first
city to suffer from them. For the last
week st. Louis bank tellers have been
accepting the counterfeits in question
without hesitation. 1t was only when
they reached the ST. Louis sub-treas-
ury that their spurious character was
detected. United States Treasurer
Small sent one to the director of the
mint for assay. He received reply in
which the statement was made that,
although the assay had not been COM
pleted, there was no doubt that there
was more pure silver in the counter
felt than in a genuine coin, and that
its fineness exceeded that of the genu-
inc. According to Col. Small the coins
weigh 1917 grains more than the genu-
inc, which weighs 41215 grains. Its
6neness is "a per cent, while that of
the genuine is but 80 per cent.
