ARE REDUCED
PRESIDENT GALLOWAY SPEAKS
OF DETERMINATIONS.
Is Opposed to Ticket Brokerage,
Granting of Passes and Also the
Private Car System.

Washington, Oct. 9.-President S. r.
Galloway of the New York Central
road apd Frank Barry. secretary of the
National MiIlersf association, were be-
fore the industrial commission today.
Speaking of Determinations and rate
wars, Mr.. Galloway said that the pos
sibility for them had gradually died
until there was little of such oppor-
tunity left. Rates had been reduced
from ISS cents per ton per mile to 70
cent.
Speaking Of ticket brokerage, the
witness characterized it as the most
demoraIiZing business in the country.
He was also opposed to the granting OF
passes, and so far as he could control
the practice, had limited it to en-
ployees. The private car system was
also characterized as bad, but the COM
petition Mr. Galloway said, is such
that for the present there is no way
of remedying the evil. He favored a
net earning tax in preference to the
general practice at present, saying that
his company last year had paid 2,000,-
900 in taxes, or about II per cent of it's
income.
Speaking on the rate on articles for
export, Mr.. Galloway said he would
admit that exports were carried cheap
ton. The railroads were compelled to
do this to meet foreign competition,
and he did not consider the practice
injurious to anyone. He had heard no
complaint of discrimination in favor of
grain as against flour. He favored the
legalization of pooling, saying he did
not believe that under the present cir
cumstances such authority would re-
suit in the general increase of freight
rates.
He was willing that in case of such
authorization the interstate commerce
commission should have certain super
vision He thought any suggestion
made by the commission would be
needed. but he did not think it would
be practical for any commission sitting
at one place to fix rates intelligently
and with justice. He did not, however,
admit that the government had any
more right to interfere with the man
agernent of railroad systems than with
any other line of business. He did not
believe the government ownership of
railroads was practicable.

fact all the same. that a proposition to
purchase the United Verde mine at $dOO,-
O0O,0J0 was recently refused. The deepest
workings OF the mine are now only 700
feet. while recent explorations with
diamond drill were made to a depth of
1000 feet. showing a continuation of the
ore body to that depth. If the property
remains in the family of w. A. Clark his
great grandchildren will leave prlncely
inheritance in the property to their OFF,
spring. The value of the mine is simply
beyond computation. Its known output Is
over Sl.G00.0V0 per month in copper. but
the additional value in gold and silver is
known only to Mr. Clark and a very few
of his most confidential and trusted en-
ployees. The company is capitalized with
100000 shares of the par value of SO each,
but for the last block Of stock purchased
by Mr.. Clark he paid Sl90 per share, or on
a basis of $50 100000 for the mine While
there are from LOCO to 200 men on the
pay roll of the company less than fifty
miners are employed in the mine. The re-
malnder of this regiment of employees are
engaged in handling the ore, after this
little squad has knocked it down, smelt-
ing the ore, handling the product and in
various other capacities The average
job on the works is of short duration. as
there is an average OF about ten men
hired and as many quit every day. Miners
machinists, semlter men and those en-
ploy7ed in the better paying positions,
where skill is required, as a rule remain
in the employ of the company for long
periods, the shifting class being those en-
ployed in minor positions at lower wages

SUPREME COURT IN SESSION.
Less Than a Quorum at Washington
and No Business Transacted.

Washington. Oct 9.-The United States
supreme court convened today for the
regular October term. but adjourned with
out transacting any business, according
to the usual custom. 1t is probable the
cases which have been assigned for next
Monday will be re-assigned for some day
early in December. the re-assignments
being made necessary by the absence of
Chief Justice Fuller and Justice Brewer
in Europe.
Ex-Speaker Reed was present in court
today TO present a petition.
There were only five members of the
bench present. one less than a quorum
They were Justices Harlan, Gray, Brown,
Shiras and White 1t is expected that
Justice McKenna viii arrive in time to
sit with the court tomorrow.
Among the cases which We're assigned
for argument next week and which will
be re-assigned are those relating to the
validity of taxation in Tennessee a South
Dakota maximum freight case a case
involving the inheritance tax, two cases
involving the stamp tax in express re-
ceipts the anti-cigarette law of Tennes-
see. the constitutionality of the impure

NO DALY-wEsT SALE.
Fake About Transfer of Hearst
Eaggin Intered-Some History.

Fake About Transfer of Hearst
Haggin Intered-Some History.
The story that Messrs. Thomas
Kearns, David Keith and W. S. Nc
Cornick had bargained for 30 600 shares
OF The Haggin- Hearst combinations
holdings in the Daly-West mine at
$3.50 share, or at any other price, is,
Il according 10 Mr.. KearnS and a gentle
man competent to talk for those who
have been reported as ready 10 sell,
absolutely untrue and without the fsast
Foundation in fact. The intimation that
the Haggin- Hearst+ people were anX-
fous to get out on account of the DAILY
West being a silver proposition is also
without a vestige of truth TO sustain 1t.
Nessrs. Keith and Mccormick are
both out of the city, but Mr.. kearns
unhestitatingly pronounced the story
as a fabrication. stating, however, that
he wished it was so.
A great deal has been said at one
time and another regarding the rea-
sor 3 why the Ontario and DAILY mines
closed down when the slump in silver
came. and a general misunderstanding
has obtained with the public in rela-
ton TO it. The DAILY and Ontario mines
did not close down owing to the low
price Of silver. The DAILY mine closed
down because the developed ore bodies
it could not be made to supply suffi-
cient ore 10 keep the mill running. and
fer the furtherlreason that prospecting
shove the water level did not give
treat announcement for the future. To
extend the Ontarios big drain tunnel
;nfo DAILY territory for the purpose OF
freeing that mine of water meant the
levying of assessments to do it, and
the company decided rather than do
that 10 shut down. The low price of sill
Ner. coupled with the fact that the On
taf-io had reached a stage in its his
tory where new developments We're
necessary 10 keep the mines output up
10 srandard-.a condition brought about
hv The arrangements decision to await
the completion of tho big drain tunnel
before attempting to open the lower
levels-also decided that company to
close down. At least these were the
urinary causes. Other reasons-one of
them being, it is understood, that the
Ontario company did not feel disposed
10 advance the big drain tunnel, and
thereby drain adjacent properties, at
its own esspense-also had something to
do in determining the companies men (
toned 70 go temporarily out Of active /
business.
Ever since the closing down of the |
Ontario more or less development work |
has been in progress. and it was IN
the favorable results of
this work which brought about the re- |
neved activity at the mine.

Stock Jumped to So SIS a Shar e
Yesterday.
CAUSE OF THE ADVANCE
DISCOVERED THAT INSIDERS
WERE HEAVY BUYERS.
The Stock Advanced Fifty Cents Over
Saturdays Closing-Valeo Joined
In the Advance-Grand Central
Showed No Disposition to I'm
prove-The Closing Quotations.

Mammoth SCARED skyward when it
was called out on the mining exchange
yesterday. The stock reached the high
est point in many a day, and recorded
an advance over Saturdays quotations
of approximately 80 cents a share.
Spectators have the greatest conf
dence in the ability of the management
of the mine to keep up the record of
the past few months. That of course,
has caused the stiffening up in prices
and again it is declared that there is
very little actual floating stock on the
market it having been gathered up
pretty close by those who are on the
inside, and it is a. known fact that in
siders were buying yesterday, which is
the real reason for the sharp advance.
There are also rumors that matters
may be patched up with the Grand
Central, and there are many who be-
lieve that all differences between the
two companies will be settled out of
court This, too, may have some bear
ing on the market.
At the opening yesterday the first
bid of SO called out q board lot, and
from that moment the market for the
stock improved and closed strong at
1925. 1t was asserted by persons close
ly associated with Mammoth affairs
several months tgo that the stock would
reach the 81 mark before Christmas,
and it begins to look as if the predic-
ton would come true. A total of $500
shares were sold yesterday. Valeo
showed a decided Improvement over
last week. Grand Central showed no
disposition to improve, and sales were
frequent under 1896 a share. Petro
made further declines, and fell
from IS cents to fraction above 81
cents. Ontario was held at strong fig

Ben Butler was stronger also Bunker
Hill Sacramento maintained its usual

Eight Dividend Payers to Make oc-
tober Distributions.

tober Distributions.
The directors of the Mercur Mining
company will hold a meeting today and
the most important function to be per-
formed by them will be the posting of
the regular quarterly dividend of %
cents a share, or $4,000. With this
anc ant added, the great Mercur will
have paid in dividends to it's stock
holders the sum of 81 ,341 900.
The directors of the Bullion-Beck are
also scheduled 10 meet today and in
all probability will add another $4,000
to the amount of velvet distributed
among shareholders in that corpora
ton. With that amount, the total dis
tributionB made by that Tintic mine
viii reach the total of s2,41S, 400.
The Silver King, whose directors
added another SO Is cent dividend, or
$4,000, to the amount already paid by
that great Park City producer. will be
paid today. making the total run UP to
100000 During the year the mine
has paid $475,3 in dividends.
1t is generally conceded that the
Mammoth will come out with another
dividend of $4,000 on the goth inst,
swelling that mines total up to 81 &c.
900.
The Swansea, South Swansea, Sacra-
mento and Petro will likely follow
later with $4,000 each, while the DAILY
West win make its initial distribution
on the 25th inst. of $4,000.

are at least eight regular dividend pay
ers who will contribute to their share

MAY DECIDE TO MOVE.
Believed That Mining Exchange Will
Occupy New Walker Building.

The governing board of the Salt Lake
stock exchange inspected the mineral
collection at the Hall of Relics yester-
day afternoon for the purpose of de-
Gliding upon the amount of space needed
in the new location TO be decided upon
for it. The matter of location Will
come up for consideration at a meet

generally believed a decision viii be
reached to move the exchange to the
room formerly occupied by the Utah
board in the new D. f. Walker build
ing, where there win be ample room
for all purposes. and where the mineral
exhibit can be conveniently taken care
of. The transfer of the Utah board to
the Salt Lake exchange has been I'M
avoidably delayed on account of some
OF the shareholders being out of town.

Pushing the Work.
(special Correspondence.l


Robinson, Oct. 9.-Work in the big
Sioux-Ajax tunnel and Utah and Sioux
mines continues uninterruptedly under
the management of Don b. Gillies. In
the tunnel three shifts are pushing
ahead with Burleigh drills, and the
mines two shifts are employed in doing
much dead work. such as retimbering
and Strengthening the premises. which,
as Is invariably the case, is always left
in an unworkmanlike condition when
ieasers are removed or quit. Some min
eral is in sight and ore has been dis
closed in various places; but however
nattering the conditions may become,
unexpectedly, the course mapped out
by the new management viii be re-
ligiously pursued. The stamps at the

forecast made by the folks about the

profitable one.

BACK FROM THE MAY QUEEN.
c. H. Drummer and John Dern Re-
turn From Trip of INSPECTION.

Secretary Charles II. Drummer, who,
accompanied by John Dern, returned
yesterday morning from a visit to the
May Queen gold mine, which adjoins
the famous Red Boy at Granite, Ore,
reports that the new ten-stamp mill
now being erected at the mine Will be
turning out gold bullion and cyanides
by the middle of next month, if all goes
well. Mr.. Drummer is enthusiastic over
the May Queens future. and declares
that nothing can prevent its proving
as great a property as its rich neighbor
The mine has been developed, to a YER
teal depth of some 300 feet through
about 1,500 feet of tunneling, drifts,
etc, and the ores exposed in the large
vein average from S12 to SIS per ton.
When the same depth is reached which
has been attained in the Red Boy-500
feet-Mr. Drummer says he has no doubt
but what they will have just as high
grade ore as the latter shows in its
deepest workings, or $50 per ton
Much activity exists in the section
around Granite, Mr. Drummer says, and
the outlook for the future is very
bright. indeed. The gentleman will be

made anywhere, but the shaft was
sunk on the vein and the ore which
