production of patent hollow steel car
aXles, will shortly be built by syndi-
cate Of Europeans represented by Carl
and Adolph ManneSman. in conjunction
with the Federal Steel Company at
South Chicago and the Pullman com
pany at Kensington.
1T is announced positively that ar

THAT BEEF.
Swift Beef Co. of Chicago
Aroused.

Washington, Dec. 27.-There were but
three members of the war investigating
commission at its office today, and af-
ter short informal discussion, the reg
ular session was deferred until tomor-
row.
No witnesses have been summoned,
The Swift Beef Company of Chicago
have forwarded to the commission a
communication taking exception to the
reflection made by Gen. Miles on the
character of the beef furnished the EEK
peditionary forces in the war. The COM
munication is not made public, and will
not be until il is brought officially be-
fore the commission. The exceptions
also taken to that feature OF Gen. Miles
testimony by Commissary General
Egan will be taken up by the commits
sion when il has its next full session.
This question of the character of beef
supply may possibly open up a rather
prolonged inquiry Unless something
unexpected should develop, however,
the commission expects to close its reg
ular sessions before the middle of jan
uary, and possibly finish up its work
entirely by February l, so as to submit
its report to congress about that time.
This is barring a possible broad inves-
LEGATION as to the beef issue,
Gen. Humphreys, the depot quarter
master in charge at Tampa during the
time covered by the complaints against
that department there, has been sum
moned from Havana, and was expected
here, but win not reach here now until
the first week Of January.
1t has not been decided by the mem
bers now in town whether the charges
and denials passed between Gen. Miles
and Commissary General Egan will
lead to the recall of either of these wit
nesses and the opening of the contro-
versy. One of the members of the COM
mission said today that personally he
thought the gravity of the charges
made by Cen Miles would warrant re-
opening this phase of the case, but that
it is a matter which must be definitely
decided by quorum of the commission.
A quorum is expected tomorrow or
Thursday.

NATIONAL HAMILTON BANK.
The Successor of Hamilton National
Bank Opened It's Doors Yesterday.

Boston, Dec. 27.-The National HamiI-

National Bank, which was one of the
strongest Of the nine banks included
in the consolidation plan recently set
on foot here, and the one practically to
arise from it's own ashes, opened its
door today. President George w New
hall and Cashier Frank Tent of the old
bank were leaders in the movement to
organize into the new bank, shortly af-
ter it became certain that the old one
had passed hopeIessly into the hands
of the syndicate. The Hamilton Ma
tional Bank is still in existence, and
will so continue until January, the date
of it's annual meeting, when it is ex-
pectd a majority of the stockholders
will vote to liquidate.

The New State.

The New State Mining company will
resume work on its Little Cottonwood
gold mine the first of the week, having
let contract for the extension of its
lower tunnel a distance of 100 feet.
This tunnel is now in a distance of
300 feet and it is hoped and believed
that in another 100 feet the main ledge
will be cut that shows so plainly on the
surface, and the indications are that
at this depth the ledge will be more in
place and that fine body of high
grade ore will be exposed.
There is an excellent surface show
ing on the surface, and some rich gold
ore has been taken from the upper
workings of the property, and as this
mineral must surely come from below,
it seems that it must be only a ques-
ton of time and development until the
mine is on a paying basis.
On the south side of the canyon, OPP
posite the New State, Colonel Hardy
Harvey and J. W. Pitts have been
hard at work lately. and it is reported
that they have struck something good,
Judging from the samples of fine gold
quartz they are showing on the streets.
The gold blossoms at the mouth OF
Little Cottonwood are unusually strong
and promising, and it will be strange
indeed if a big mine is not eventually
found there.

mated to the cause of honest money. -
The report Of President l. a. Cole,
which was delivered at the annual
meeting yesterday, states that the vol
une of business for 1897 was the larg-
est in the history Of the company. After
a suspension of three years, smelling
operations were partially resumed last
fall, and it is expected that this import
ant branch of the business will be con-
tinued. Economies in cost of manufac-
ture of product have been effected, as
well as reduction in the expense of ad-
ministration. Competition is active,
but rates are not demoralized.
This industry usually responds quick
~ to the improvement in the financial
condition OF the country, and it is an
ticiDated that there will be increased
demand for its product this spring.
White lead is a principal ingredient in
paint. and as the repainting of build
ings is an improvement usually de-
ferred in hard times, the spring season
this year should see extensive opera
items in this line. An eastern authority
on the paint, oil and drug industry, in a
recent interview, stated that the trade
outlook is very encouraging.
The company begins the new year
with surplus fund of 81, O93, 764.42. Net
earnings of the company in 1897, $1,532,-
S76.40.
