turned away, walking stormily to the other
side of the room. Valerie had stood GER

grew as white as the gown she wore. She

INTERNATIONAL HOIST.
Machinery Was Sent Out to West
Tintic Yesterday.

The new steam hoist ordered for the
International mine, in West Tintic,
some time ago, was shipped out to that
mine yesterday. AS soon as the new
plant is installed the company Will
continue developments at a vigorous
rate. 1t is the intention to carry the
shaft to the deep and open up the rich
ore bodies which are supposed to lie
there.
An immense lot of low-grade ore has
been disclosed in the mine, and some
say there is a sufficient ank unit in
sight to justify the erection of a 100
ton-concentrating plant. The directors
are conservative about such undertake
ings. The mill project was discussed
at a meeting held recently. but the
consensus of opinion was that the mine
should be developed further, the lower
depths carefully explored and the
character of the ores all the way from
the surface fully determined. 1t was
argued that until a large amount of
work was done in the mine a mode of
treatment for the ores could not be
decided upon with any degree of safety
By next spring the company may be
in shape to think seriously about build
ing a new mill.

COPPER MINES NEAR MILFORD.
Working the Skylark Tunnel-Cop-
per Ranch Operations.

The management of the Slzylark cop
per mine, in the Beaver Lake district,
has announced that the new tunnel has
been completed TO the length of eighty
five feet. A decided change has taken
place in the face of the tunnel, small
stringers of ore are coming in, and the
men working there momentarily ex-
pect to cut into the vein towards which
the tunnel is directed 1t is believed
a good grade of shipping ore will be
found when the vein is cut into.
1t is expected that work will be start
ed up soon on the Copper Ranch mine,
few miles to the southeast of the
Skylark. The property was recently
bonded by Arthur Murphy to Professor
w. II. Tibbals, for f. G. Miller of Den
Yer. According to the terms of the
agreement. Mr.. Miller has until the
Goth proX. to commence operations. He
is expected in the city in a few days,
when he expects to let a contract for
probably 100 feet or more of sinking
The people of Milford will rejoice to
see a few strong companies get to
work and open up the mines of that
region. The country has a magnificent
showing for copper and gold ores. The
surface groupings and the geological
formations of the several districts are
particularly inviting. Wherever work
has been done good results have been
obtained. but in none of the properties
has depth of over 200 feet been at
tanned.

HEAD OF HARPER BROS.
George B. M. Harvey Elected Presi.
dent of the Concern.

New York, Nov. 16.-J. Henry Harper,
vice president of Harper & Bros, an
nounces that at a meeting of the di-
rectors of the publishing company to-
| day, George B. NJ. Harvey, editor and
proprietor of the North American Re-
view, was elected president and man
aging director of Harper & Bros. He
added that Mr.. Harvey had purchased
| from the shareholders a large inteeSt
in the company.
The organization, as completed at the
meeting today, was as follows: Pre'si-
dent, G. B. NJ. Harvey; first vice presi-
dent, John w. Harper; second vice
president, ]. Henry Harper; third vice
president, Clarence W. McIlvain; secre-
tary. James Thorne Harper; treasurer,
Henry S. Harper. The directors, in adj
dition to the officers above named are
H. r. Harper and James Herper.
The changes consist of the substitu-
ton of Mr.. Harvey as president, in
place of Mr.. John w. Harper, VINO be-
comes vice president, and the retire
ment of Mr.. John Harper whose cOndi-
ton of health renders it impossible for
him to attend to business. Mr.. Harvey
will enter upon his duties on Mon
day
Mr. Harper declined to state the
terms under which Mr.. Harvey be-
comes the head of Harper & Bros. 1t
was learned, however, from another
source, which there is every reason to
believe is authoritative, that the share
holders sold a large block of stock,
which was appraised some time ago at
1927 a share, to Mr.. Harvey at $3.50 per
share. The exact amount of stock pur-
chased by him could not be ascertain
ed, but was said to be in the vicinity of
81 900, 900.
1t was reported some months ago that
a consolidation of Harper & Bros. and
Doubleday & Mcclure had been prac-
tically completed. 1t was found, how
ever, when the time came to put the
suggested consolidation into effect that
the lines of publication OF. the two COM
panies differed so widely that the plan
was impracticable, and it was aban-
doned.
Mr.. Harvey confirmed the announce
ment of Mr. Harper, but further than
to announce that he would continue as
the editor of the North American Re-
view he declined to discuss his plans
for the future.

but are deferred by the action of the
concerns from which they refuse to ac-
cept rebates The witness also gave it
as his opinion that the principal effect
of the interstate commerce commission
has been to- put valuable fayors in the
hands of fewer persons than before its
passage. and he explained this broad
statement by saying that the railroads
now feel il necessary to give rebates to
persons to whom they can look for pro-
lection.
Mr.. A. A. ekennard of the butter and
egg board. who testified at the after
noon session, said there was much COM
plant among commission men because
of burdensome rates by telegraph and
telephone companies. He said the gen.
eral feeling among commission mer-
chants was in favor of government con-
troll of the telegraph and telephone. Mr..
kennard also cited instances of dis
elimination in the distribution of cars
for shipping fruits from California to
Chicago. He claimed small firms and
private individuals had frequently to
pay a heavy bonus TO secure cars, and
said five firms in this city practically
had control of the refrigerator cars
S. H. Greedy of the Chicago board of
trade testified during the afternoon. He
announced himself ~ favor of govern
ment ownership of railroads.

The Petro mine is not equipped for
a continuance of regular shipments
during the winter. Its location is at
a very high altitude and where the
snow generally gets extremely deep.
After the roads are closed no ship

TROUBLES OF THE BUCKEYE.
Now In Court to Find Out Who Its
Officers Are.

An action was instituted yesterday in
the district court against Briant S.
Young by the Buckeye Mining company
and Thomas f. Taylor, its secretary. TO
require defendant to deliver TO plain
tiff the conpany's stock certificate and
account books. An alternative writ of
mandamus was issued upon defendant
retuinabie Dec. ?. Ii is alleged in the
complaint that Mr.. Young, predecessor
in office to Secretary Taylor, refuses to
yield up the mining company'S books,
falsely claiming that he has been or
dered by court to retain possession OF
the same The plaintiff also sets up
that defendants wrongful retention of
the books and papers prevents the le-
ga transfer of stock. deters plaintiff
from defending a suit at law against it
for an account claimed to be due and
that the unlawful course of Young is
calculated to jeopardize the interests of
the company James II. Moyle is at
torney for plaintiff.
The suit is the outgrowth of the
tangle in John Beck's affairs. Among
his other tiedup stocks We're los. 941
shares of Buckeye, which, at a meet
ing OF stockholders held last spring,
were voted both by Mr.. Beck and a per-
son from whom he had secured a loan
upon tia loan which had been only
partially satisfied. The result was that
a new board of directors was elected by
one side and the old board retained by
the other Injunction proceedings fol-
lowed. in which the new crowd sought
10 restrain the old from conducting the
business of the company. The injunc-
tinn was not granted, but the court
Issued a restraining order which has
been construed by the old board TO
mean that the stock in question should
not be voted by anyone until its right
full ownership was determined. On the
LIST of October, the regular annual
meeting time, another election was
held. and the new officers made an
other demand upon Secretary Young for
the books In compliance with the
courts restraining order he refused to
deliver them, and the suit just brought
is for the purpose of settling who the
officers and directors of the company
really are. Mr.. Young stated last night
that be had no personal or Interior mo-
tive in holeing the books, and that
he was ready to deliver them the mo-
ment he knew he could legally do so.

BLANCHARD's UTAH VISIT.
Great Changes to Be Made at the
Overland Mine.

Denman Blanchard, one of the Bos-
ton associates of Gill S. Peyton, has
returned from a trip to Mercur where
he made an inspection of the Overland
and Chloride Point mines. Mr.. Blanch-
ards visit to Utah at this time is
mainly in connection with the vast
Improvements to be made at the Over
land mine. He was in conference with
Mr.. Peyton and Professor w. II. Tib-
balls at the Knutsford hotel last night.
Before Mr. Blanchard's departure for
home the line of action to be fol-
lowed at the Overland during the next
few months viii be decided upon.
The most important change to be
made is the enlargement of the mill,
which was closed down about two
weeks ago for that purpose Through
the experimental tests made during
the past summer il was demonstrated
beyond doubt that the Overland is a
paying proposition. even with the
small capacity of the present equip

results. the Overland, like many other
Eercur propositions, must be operated
on a large scale and that is just what
is &c be done in the future.

given out from official sources. it is
believed before another year closes
that the Overland will he furnishing

RACE FOR LIFE ON A STEAMER
PUNCHED HOLE IN HER BOTTOM
AND PANIC SEIZED CREW.
Thrilling Experiences On Board the
Conestega, Lake Vessel Bound
From Buffalo For Chicago.

Chicago, Nov. 16.-The steamer Cone
stega of the Anchor line sank at the
mouth of the harbor early this morning
after having a race for her life. The
steamboat, bound into Chicago from
Buffalo, in the dense fog that hung
over Lake Michigan. ran into the half
way crib a mile and half out from
the harbor entrance, and a great hole
was stove in her bow.
Panic seized the crew. The boat
commenced to fill with water fast and
there was a disposition to rush for the
boats. But the captain gave orders to
turn on all steam and make a quick
run for the harbor and commanded the
men TO stand at their posts. The engi-
neer had the steam on at full head and
the timbers of the vessel groaned I'M
der the unwonted strain, and there was
danger of an accident from the extreme
pressure of speed. But Captain Cronk-
lite felt that the lives depended upon
the quickness with which he would
reach the shallower water of the harbor
entrance.
The Conestega was settling fast and
her speed was diminished greatly be-
fore half the distance to the piers at
the mouth of the harbor had been
traversed. Everybody showed the few
erish eagerness of men who were fight
ing against death. A few hundred
yards from the harbor entrance it
looked as if the boats would have to be
resorted to after all. AS the mouth of
the harbor was gained floods of water
poured into the fire hold. drove the
stokers up the ladders to the deck and
at last extinguished the fire in the
boilers. The steamer was then dragging
on the bottom.
Fears of going down in deep water
were then abandoned by Captain
Cronkite and the crew, only to te re-
placed by apprehensions that the boil
ers might explode, but soon the water
cooled the. boilers and the Conestega
came to stop as her keel rubbed hard
in the mud at the bottom of the harbor
The water did not reach the upper
deck and the crew were safe.

MoDUS WORKING SMOOTHLY.
No Prospects of Reopening the Alas
kan Boundary Question.

Washington, Nov. 16.-The indica-
tons are decidedly against any re-
opening in the immediate future of ne
gotiations looking to a permanent ad-
justment of the Alaskan boundary
question. 1t Gamble stated positively
that there has been absolutely no ex-
changes ON this subject between the
two governments since the return TO
this country of Lord Pauncefote- The
modus viyendi, which was adopted to
define temporarily the respective rights
of the two parties. is working salts
factorily.
The administration has about con-
WINGED itself that there is little chance
of securing the approval of the senate
to any permanent treaty defining the
boundary line which would secure the
adhesion of Canada, and it is feared
that even moderate proposition look
ing to a compromise could not be
framed that would meet with the APP
proval of both parties.
This is believed to be true only or
the present time. The recent extra
ordinary development of the Cape
Nome gold fields at the expense of the
population of the Klondike may posi-
bly, make the question easier OF ad-
justment in the future by diminishing
the value of the issues between the
two countries Once the klondike Is
relegated to it's former condition and
the incentive to reach it from the sea
is removed, it is felt that there will be
a diminished interest on the part OF
Canada in its claims TO a seaport.
