tons of steel plates monthly. for pc
riod of ten years. This is the largest
steel contract ever awarded to one
firm and amounts to about 100000.

Doyle and Johnsop Tell the Industrial
Commission That Rebates are Given to
Big shippers.

Denver, July 20.-Oil and metallifer-
l'0us mining We're the subjects to which
the morning testimony before the in
/ 1ustrial commission related. From the
nrst- witness, former State Senator
James G.Johnson of Florence, the COM
| mlssioncrs drew the admission that the
railroads discriminate constantly in
favor of tile Standard Oil Company in
freight rates. Thus for the first time
, since the opening of this session the
commission was able to get at tangi-
bic Information upon this point, at
which the members have been ham,
mering repeatedly but unsuccessfully
Tor nearly week. Part of Senator
Johnson's sworn testimony was that
the railroads are said to have charged
Colorado company S1.S7 barrel to
transport oil to the Pacific coast, while
the Standard Oil Company was allow
ed to ship from Whiting, Indiana. to
the same destination for S71h cents a
barrel.
The afternoon proved an interesting
one. 1t is not often that mine owner
and one of his employees testify from
the same stand. and from practically
the same standpoint. The dlr-famed
Jimmy" Doyle of Portland mine fame.
at present residing from choice in the
Eel Paso county jail. and J. G. Sullivan,
who works in one of Doyles mines,
We're the two witnesses of the after
noon. Mr.. Doyle told some startling
things, and gave voice to some start
ling opinions about the determinations
of the railroads and smelters against
the small operator and poor miner, and
in favor of the rich and powerful conf
pany.
Mr.. Doyle declared that the railroads
and smelters of Colorado Invariably
Disseminated. and universally in favor
of the operator of independent means,
who was getting big returns and would
operate whether he got a rebate or not,
while the little fellow, struggling to
get foothold. to whom Il dollar n ton
on his shipping expenses made the diff
ference between success and failure,
had to put up the full rate. He de-
clared his belief that nothing but gov
ernment ownership of the railroads
would ever secure Justice in matters of
transportation for the American peo-
pie. He further declared that not all
the mine owners of his district would
comply with the laws providing for the
safety of their mines unless compelled
to. and that they were unwilling to
expend money for this purpose even
for the protection of life. and that the
pretended inspection of mines in Colo
RADIO was farce.

HOW STRATTON FOUND
THE INDEPENDENCE MINE.

by the presence of pink fiuorine rs well
as by stains of chlorite due to the
deep composition of the biotite. Part
of the outcrop can still he seen, Just
below the old whim shaft, and invites
the consideration of those who may
wonder why 1t was SO long overlooked.
AS above stated, Stratton disregard
ed it, as other less experienced pros
pectors had previously done. Two
days later John II. McIlinnie, the fu-
ture owner of the Moon Anchor mine,
came to the camp, and so did Charlie
Love, ranchman from Beaver Park,
who had pointed out the big outcrop
to many of the pioneers. The latter
asked McIiinnie If he had seen it and
there was a brief discussion. Stratton
remembered the incident when on the
Fourth of July he was at Colorado
Springs, whittier he had gone with five
samples for assay. The assays show
ed only So or 81 at the best, notwith-
standing the much better results
which he had obtained by panning. 1t
suddenly occurred to him that the gram
lite outcrop must be the lode. He had
found gold by pannng the loose dirt
amid the fragments of porphyry lying
upon the south face of Battle Noun
tain just below the outcrop. but he had
Deen unaDl 10 trace the source or IL
to any vein in the porphyry (andesite
brecca) formation. Acting upon the
impulse of the moment he took horse
Immediately for the mine and upon ar
rival found Troutman Just about to
leave for Colorado Springs Stratton
made two locations. the Independence
and the Washington. and l doubt If
any man ever celebrated national
holiday to better advantage. Some
pieces of the outcrop were broken and
Troutman took them to be assayed at
the Springs. Next day the assay GER
tificate arrived and proved the ore to
contain nineteen ounces of gold per ton.
The rest of the story is simple. With
rare good sense Stratton developed the
mine as far as his means would per-
init. and when the profits became large
he expanded the scope of his opera
tons until he succeeded in making the
independence one of the most valu-
able gold mines ever discovered by
the prospector's pick. Up to the time
of this writing the Independence has
produced little over Si.500.000, the
average yield OF the ore being AZ
ounces FER ton. The net profit won
exceeds $1,000. .O0O.-T A. Ricard in

silver From south America.

Philadelphia. July 20.-What is prob

ore brought from the west coast OF
South America to an Atlantic coast port
of this country has reached here OH the
British steamer Kentisgerm. Slowed
away In her hold are 16,239 sacks OF
high-gradc ore and 600 bars OF pig sill
yer. valued at over $15O,OOO. besides
nm assorted cargo worth 100000 more.
The steamer left Guayaqull. Ecuador,

up general cargo at various ports.
The silver comes from mines high up
In the mountains OF Bolivia. which nre
worked by English and American min
ers. II must be carried many miles ON
the backs of mules to kutofogastn. the
nearest seaport. The lack OF smelling
facilities makes 1t necessary to ship
most OF the ore out OF the country.

Effort Made to Blow Up Supports of the
Elevated Tracks in Brooklyn.
New York, July 2O.-An attempt was
made to blow up the elevated structure
1T Fifth avenue and Thirty-fifth street
II Brooklyn early this morning. The
police say that it was the work of the
strikers or sympathizers.
One of the pillars of the structure
was shattered by the explosion of dy-
1amite at 1:1O n. m. The entire base
of the pillar was blown to pieces and
The sides of the pillar several feet up
were torn away.
Several pieces of steel were thrown
through neighboring houses. One
piece of large size, nearly an inch in
thickness, was blown through the
brick wall of n house at the corner of
Thirty-fourth street and Fifth avenue
Another was blown through house
1T the corner of Thirty-fourth and
Fouth avenue. While still another
dashed through the iron rail-
ing surrounding the Greenwood sub
cemetery. Several policemen, who
were on duty in the vicinity. hurried
to the scene of the explosion, which
was heard for long distance, but no
arrests were made.
The explosion caused delay in the
'unning of trains over the Fifth avenue
line for time. and extra guards were
sent out to watch the structure No
one was injured.

TRUTHS FROM MANILA.
Correspondents Out of Reach of the Gem
sor Make Sensational Revelations Con-
cerning Army management.

Hong Kong, July 19.-The follow
ing staff correspondents of American
newspapers in Manila unite in the fol-
lowing statement:
I'VE believe that owing to official dis
patches from Manila, made public in
Washington, the people of the United
States have not received correct i'm
preston of the situation in the Philip
pines and that these dispatches pre-
sented an ultra-optimistic view not
shared by the general officers in the
field. We believe these dispatches in
correctly represent existing conditions
among the FilipinOs respecting internal
dissensions and demoraliZations result
ing from the American campaign and
the brigand character of their army.
I'VE believe the dispatches err in the
declaration that the situation is well
in hand, and the assumption that the
insurrection can be speedily ended
without greatly increased force.
"We think the tenacity and purpose
mated, and that the statements are un-
founded that the volunteers are will
ing to give further service.
"The censorship has compelled us to
participate in this Misrepresentation by
excising or altering uncontroverted
statements and facts on the plea, as
General Otis stated. that they would
alarm the people at home or have the
people In the United States by the
ears
specifications of this are the pro-
hibiion to send hospital reports and
the number of heat prostrations in the
field; the suppression of full reports of
field operations in the event of their
failure; systematic intimidation of ma
val operations and the prohibition to
send complete reports of the situation.
