ports sir, but am only testifying to
certain facts"
HAS the interest been paid out of
the earnings of each road?'
Yes. sir, SO far as I understand it.
except IN the case Of the South Pacific
Coast Road
Mr.. Toland again objected that the
data handed in were not in compli-
ance with the law; and he wanted to
know II the company had intended the
reports ending June 80. 1898, to be
taken as approximate answers, to be
considered as holding good for March.
Witness said the companies kept their
books SO that the fiscal years end June
10th; earnings and operating ex-
penses might be shown monthly, but
many other expenses could not be
shown.
Can you say whether earnings and
expenses have been about the same
since June 30th as before?'' asked Mr..
Toland.
so far as I can say, operating ex-
penses have been heavier and earnings
have been less,' said Mr.. Klink, ''for
there have been heavy maintenances
and equipment expenses"
Witness explained that the COM
pany's system of classi1cations diff
| fered from that of the board and from
that OF the Railroad Commissioners.
Gould you not have made out these
reports as the law requires" asked
Mr.. Toland.
Yes, SIR returned witness. 'if
had been asked to do so. Again. /
beg to say that I made none of these
reports.
Explain betterments and repairs, ("
asked Mr.. Toland.
Witness explained that permanent
improvements, such as a new depot,
would be betterments: but an old
structure replaced by a new ore would
be repair, betterments being new
structures.
| Further, witness said: 1--WE do not
include ferry earnings in our report of
railroad earnings, neither do we care
fully seSeTate river boat earnings from
the ferry earnings. The Oakland gross
| ferry earnings We're this year $l,4S6,-
691.2O expenses, $72O, 04S 49,"
| The mileage of the Northern Railway
in San Joaquin County, in answer to a
| question, was shown to be 1923.
What do your reports mean by gen.
| eral expenses"
| General officers and clerks salaries
and their expenses; also rentals of gen.
| eral Offices
| Witness explained, as Mr.. Ryan had
done before. that all shops on the lines
conduct their own bookkeeping, charg-
ing each run with repairs
| In response to a request for use OF
the copies of the reports rendered by
the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany to the State Board of Railroad
| Commissioners, witness said: II must
say that these reports have been en-
trusted to me by the officers of the
company with the understanding that
I should bring them back with me-
| Mr.. Toland said that unless Mr..
Klink could leave the books, a motion
should be made compelling him to at
tend ON Monday; but witness said he
could not leave the books as he had
promised to return them personally.
Accordingly Mr.. Toland moved that
| Mr.. Klink be required to attend on
| Monday with the reports. The motion
was carried after which the board ad-
| journed until $50 a. m. tomorrow.

GOLD MINES IN SOUTHERN UTAH
OLD-FAsHIoNED ARASTRAS ARE
IN OPERATION.
John Long Working Some Fine
Veins of Free Milling Ore-Re-
sources of the Country.
fspeclal to The Herald,


Chloride Ariz., March 4.-John Long,
ranchman and miner from southern Utah,
200 miles north of here, is in town. Ills
home and ranch are situated in a beau
tiful level valley of sufficient dimensions
in width to have broad, level tracts or
meadow land, besides an almost innu-
merable variety of fruits and grams.
From these products he reaps handsome
sums by delivering them in wagons 10 lne
Drospectors. Who are quite numerous III
that vicinity.
The country he describes as being wild
and unsettled, and his first days trip out
in this direction he drove over forty miles
before he came to a sign of a habitation.
Much wild game was killed on the trip,
including deer, antelope and the smaller
game. Three mountain sheep were killed,
and Mr.. Long declares the meat OF this
weilnigh' extinct mountain animal is most
delicious.
Back of the ranch home of Mr.. Long
and family rise some of the high and
rugged mountains, continuing in an un-
broken chain through Utah and into the
of these mountains that Mr.. Long owns
some fine gold and silver mines. The
method of treatment used is the old fasn-
ioned araStra and Sluice boxes, worked
by water power, turning handmade ma
chinery. Only the gold veins arc treated
at present, but Long describes Hch silver
veins, which will not be disturbed till
better facilities for handling it are at
hand His gold claims contain ores of a
strictly free-milling character, being a
decomposed iron formation, easily
crushed and separated. The ore belt, ne
declares, can be traced for several miles
across the mountains and gulches. ard
at present there are quite number of
miners getting good returns by the prim-
tive methods described. With modern
machinery, or a railroad to market the
product, it will become a great district
Mr.. Longs purpose in going there was
to establish a home and he expects TO
follow fruit raising. He describes the
country very rich as a horticultural
and mining section, which is sure to at
tract great attention in the near future.

Work of the Session.
Spirited Controversy Over the Price
of Arrnor Plate-Provision For a
Government Plant Stricken Out
Senator Warren's Plucky Fight
For Irrigation Reservoir Appro-

River and Harbor Bill.

Washington, March 4.-Vice President
fifth congress adjourned without day
eight minutes after IL o'clock today. 1t
was after a continuous session begin
ming at IL o'clock on Friday, with the
exception of one hour recess during the
forenoon.
The day of final adjournment broke
with the senate in executive session,
disposing of a large number of nomina-
tions.
When the doors were opened there
was seen but q handful of tired and
haggard-looking senators, who We're
waiting for the final reports from the
conferees on the two bills yet in dis
pute. Finally Mr. Hale appeared Vs.
both. The deficiency bill was quickly
passed, and then came the final and
closing fight on the naval bill and the
price of armor plate and for an arnlor
plate factory. This wes finally over
and the weary senators took q short
recess.
Upon reassembling the senate took
on a new appearance. The chamber
had been cleared up and the senators
came back to the closing meeting with
a more spruce appearance. Some few
attempts at legislation were made, but
all were unsuccessful. Then the CALLER
les filed with gaily dressed visitors,
who were there to see the final cere-
monies. They were not Ions permitted
to enjoy themselves, as an executive
session drove. them into the corridors,
where they patiently waited for the
doors to be opened. When this was
done only five minutes remained of the
conqress hIlt the hands of fine clock
were turned back ten minutes to give
time for the usual complimentary res
olutions and the address of the vice
president.
President Mckinley and his entire
cabinet had come to the capitol and
were in the presidents room back of
the senate chamber, where the various
bills We're hurried for signature. Fin
ally the last big appropriation bill had
received the presidents approval and
everything was ready for the close.
FIGHT OVER RESERVOIRS.
The anxiety Of the early night over
the fate of the river and harbor bill
was partly dispelled at $3.50 this morn
ing. A determined effort had been
made from o'clock last night until
morning, by several western senators,
headed by Mr.. Warren IRep. Wyo.), to
secure reconsideration of the conference
report on the river and harbor bill, be-
cause Of the refusal Of the house con-
ferees to consent that the senate
amendment, making an appropriation
for the construction of reservoirs at
the headwaters of the Missouri river,
should remain in the bill. Mr.. Frye
(Me), in charge of the conference re-
port, steadfastly refused to permit the

Volunteer Officers Who Will Retai1

Their Commissions.
Washington, March 4.-The list of
five officers who are likely to be re-
tanned in the grade of major general
of volunteers is: General Otis, in COM
mand at Manila; General Lawton,
about to arrive at that place and take
charge of the active military opera
tions; General Shafter, in command of
the department of California; General
Fitzhugh Lee and probably General
Wilson, in Cuba.
Owing to the severe limitations i'm
posed by the army reorganization bill,
the war department will find itself un-
able to bestow a major generals COM
mission on such a man as General Hen
ry, now in command of the entire
island of Porto Rico.

AS il is fast nearing fall and il will
soon be time for fires in al buildings
we call the attention of The Board OF
Aldermen 10 The fact that thorough
inspection of every flue aud chimney
in town should be made, and where q
defective one Is found, TO make the
owner have it put in good condition.
1t Is better 10 do this now before the
approach OF cold weather, and il
might be the cause of saving the town
from conflsgraiiou. Marshal Peck
informed US that two years ago he
found several defective fues that
sooner or later would have caused a

can be traced 10 bad fiues and Tho way
they have been put up. 1t 10 much
safer to look after this important mat
