A BIRD'S-EYE VIEW OF THE
MINES.

MINES.
In the centre of the islands the
Philippines are rich in ores. and, on
behOlding them, one does not wonder
that the Spanish were sorry to let
the islands go. Many Of the mines
have been well worked and the ma
ehinery, while it in no respect COM
pares to that of the famous De Beers
mines, is modern and does the work
necessary TO extensive mining opera
tons Since the war broke out the
mines have not been developed, but
lie in all their richness waiting for
some one to come and work them.
Companies are being formed to go to
the Philippine gold fields. and it is
not improbable that they will soon be
regarded as another Klondike. which
will belong, beyond dispute to Uncle
Sam. and which can be nicely and
comfortably worked without the
hardships attendant upon mining in
Alaska.

THE PENNSYLVANIA BIG DEAL
She Will Control Both the B. & O.:
and G.. & O.

Philadelphia. Pa. Jan. 1J.-The Even
ing Telegraph today says:
The apparently real meaning of the
new $13.OO0,000 Pennsylvania Railroad
stock issue does not rest in the plan
to abolish grade crossings and action
of new station i'm Pittsbuug. at the
cost Of S1,500,000. together with bet
terments elsewhere over the great
system. but i'll meeting payment for
extended purchases of stock of the
Chesapeake and Ohio, said to amount
to 100000 shares. A prominent Penn
sylvania Railorad official said to re-
porter:
chesapeake and Ohio shares have
been bought in very quietly during
the past few months in order to effect
an important far-reaching railroad deal.
Whenever share was offered in the
market it was picked up. ard the Dur-
chase was done so skilfullv that the
price was not disturbed in the slightest
degree. 1t is stated that Mr.. Cassatt
bought in this way block of 100000
shares of Baltimore and Ohio stock
through Jacob Shift of Kuhn, Loeb 4
Company, New York. and James j. Hill,
President of the Great Northern. The
buying Of Chesapeake and Ohio is anoth-
er story.
"William X. Vanderbilt succeeded his
brother Cornelius. he found that the
earnings of the Vanderbilt SYSTEM had
been greatly reduced by competition.
Then followed the formation of a COM
bination.
"a full majority of the stock of either
the Baltimore and Ohio and Chesapeake
and Ohio was not obtained, but Penn
sylvania is credited with having suffi-
cient to control the policy of both and
select the managers. There is no i'm
tention to consolidate the properties. The
only purpose of Mr.. Vanderbilt and Mr..
Cassatt is to establish and maintain
rates.
THE New York Central secured prac-
tical control of the Big Four and the
Lake Erie and Western as its part of
the combination. NJ. f. Ingalls, remain

The consolidated road is likewise an the
deal and the merging of the West Shore,

Shore and Michigan Southern. simp'ities
the straight line policy New York Cen

upon.
THAT is the meaning of the new

a half dozen or more suspects, each of
which he pronounced genuine smallpox.
DIR. Wertembaker says that it is a very
mild type such as is prevalent in
quite a number of the Southern States.
There has been for Scme time cutie a
diversity of opinion among Greensboro

mass meeting of citizens at the county
court house. He said that there was no
cause for alarm on the part of the clti-
zens provided immediate action was tax

to give some excellent advice. The mod
ern method of stamping out smallpox
ne said, was very simple. 1t might be
summed up in three words: Nacclnate
isolate and disirfect. He then proceed
ed to explain in detail the way it should
be done. IF this was done there should
net be a single case in Greensboro 30
days from today
There is practically no excitement or
alarm. The great majority of our Lciti-
zens were vaccinated last spring. Those
