PURCHASE OFD O.& c,
Reported to be a Matter of
Negotiation by Santa Fe.
GRADE FROM KI0WA
Has Been Built by Farmers
for Several Miles.

A story has become current that the
Santa Fee railroad is trying to buy the
survey and grading of the new line that
is being built from Kiowa south by way
of Augusta, o. T., through Oklahoma
The promo ton work on the Augusta
branch is being done by Senator Titus of
Harper county, who is head OF the COM
pany. The road is chartered as the Dem
yer, Oklahoma and Gulf, and the work
grading has been going on for several
weeks Up until stormy weather forty
farmers with teams were at work on the
grade and several miles of it had been
finished. The object is to tap a great
country in Oklahoma that has no rail-
road facilities at present of any kind,
and the result is that number of towns
on the proposed line are on a boom.
Augusta has doubled in size already
since the projection Of the grade from
Klowa. Just what disposition the Santa
Fe is to make of the line If that COM
pany succeeds in making the purchase is
not told by the authors of the story. 1t
is not known how reliable the story is,
but it starts from about the same source
that the first rumor of the sale of the
Hutchinson and Southern started.

TRAIN ROBBERS FOOLED.
Efforts to Get mt Express Funds Foiled by
Brave Employees.


Longview. Texas, June 4-The north
bound "Canonball'' train on the Inter-
national x Great Northern was held
up last night sixty miles south of this
city, and but for the plucky fight of
Express Messenger Charles Ruther-
ford and Baggagemaster James Strong
and the strategy of Engineer Charles
Rich, another robbery would have
taken place.
Ine engineer saw n pile of cross
ties and lantern on the track and
stopped. He was ordered down by
three masked men who forced the en-.
ginecr and fireman to uncouple the
mail, baggage and express cars. and
pull about two miles from the remain
der OF the train. IRE robbers then
commanded the messenger to open the
door of his car and. failing to get any
response. made fireman Love break a
hole In the end with coal pick.
While this was being done the fire
man begged the messenger and bag
gagemaster not to shoot. The mesSen-
ger. who was well protected by n barr
icade. said he would kill the first man
to enter the hole. Love was forced
in and the messenger shouted; Get
aside, Love-" as he fired through the
Hole. ilS SHot just HlSSeu tne rODDerS
who undertook to kill the messenger
by shooting through the side of the
car.
In the confusion resulting. Engineer
Rich crawled down ditch behind the
cars and up the side of cut to his ell
gine. He pulled the throttle wide open
and left the robbers behind. a quick
run was made to Jacksonville, fifteen
miles north. At daybreak the peniten-
tlary bloodhounds We're brought from
RuslS and Immediately put on the trail
of the robbers. The holdup occurred
near the vicinity where the same train
was robbed five years ago.

LEAD PRODUCERS COMBINE.
Utah Men Want to Advance Price by In
creasinE Exports.

Utah Men Want to Advance Price by In
creasing Exports.
y dispatch from Salt Lake to the
Denver Republican says:
Lead producers of Utah tonight took
he first steps toward forming state.
and later Il national organization. to
put up the price of lead by increasing
Xports. They will work in co-opera-
ion with the smelter trust.
About twenty-five leading mine own
,fs were present tonight. A commit
tee was appointed to report on perma-
nent organization next Saturday even
ing. when it is hoped to have every
Iad producer in the state present in
'reison or by proxy. The scope of the
proposed organization was. explained
ny j. Il. Bamberger.
Under present conditions the lead
producers of Utah are losing S6O.OOO to
$4,000 month";" he declared. He
went on to say that the price of lead
had been maintained for some time by
he smelter trust. aided by IL number
II western mine owners, by exporting
ihc surplus production at a reduced fig
ure. The Missouri producers have not
joined in this, and they We're blam-
ed for the slump, the smelter trust not
caring to continue its course without
their cooperation. The smelter trust
would not become part of the present
organization. but Mr.. Bamberger said
it would do what it could to help re-
store the price of lead to what it was
Il few months ago.
Already the Occur d'Alenc mining
men have organized" said Mr. Bam-
berger. "and movements in this direc-
tion are Oh foot in Montana and Colo
RADIO. Missouri is willing. and the time
is ripe"
After the state organizations are
perfected the plan is to form Il central
organization. with headquarters in
New York. to push the exports. each
state body being represented there by
Il thoroughly responsible man.
Each producer would contribute n
certain amount to the central organi-
zation to make good losses in case the
exported produce was sold under the
price at home.
y sliding scale would probably be
adopted. If the lead sold mt S4.25 II
hundred pounds locally. the producers
would contribute 81 a ton for the met
allie contents. The rate at S4.25 a hun
dred would be 81 per ton, and at S4.65
would be S3. Mr.. Bamberger said that
while this rate was small. it was
thought to De sufficient to maintain
Ibrices.
Discussion showed the sentiment to
be unanimous for the plan. The com
mittee appointed to work out details
and report Saturday night is made up
of ]. Il. Bamberger. A. Hanauer,
Thomas Kearns, Jesse Knight and s.
+. Loufbourrow.

WHAT IS DOING IN
THE MINING WORLD.

ence to this important subject 1t is
the province and the privilege and
should be the pleasure and the purpose
of the Milwaukee meeting to push this
project. That the idea will ultimately
succeed is certain. 1t is now and has
been for years Il prime necessity. The
arguments adduced by this paper for
the creation of the department have
been unanswered because unanswera-
Bile; but while there is tacit acquies-
cence everywhere, every one seems
waiting for further missionary work
to be done by some one who has more
time than the average busy man is
ever vouchsafed.
OF equal Importance is another mat
ter that this paper has been urging for
several years. but which has not met
with the favorable unanimity of opin-
ion accorded the one mentioned above
we refer to the revision of United
States mining law. which is evolution
AIRY or revolutionary, just as the miner
may view it. We have repeatedly
pointed out the weakness and the alb
sur'lity of our system of federal min
ing law. and advocated radical
change in several federal provisions,
notably the adoption of vertical boun-
daries and the abolition of extra lat
eral rights. This paper is always will
ing to accord to others the same de-
gree of consistency that 1t claims for
itself, and readily understands how
conservatism, custom and prejudice
honestly maintained may initiate
against the changes it proposes in our
national system of mining law, but at
times we confess to Il slight degree of
impatience at the untoward attitude
and veXatiouS delay in securing what
is so manifeStly a necessity to the min
erS of America. viz. the abolition of
the present requirements of United
States mining law regarding diScov-
cry. assessment work. boundary lines.
apeXeS and extra lateral rights. The
last lies ut the root of all the evils
that in that field bcSet the miner. and
is the chief thing that should be abol-
ishcd.
The Milwaukee congress may be
able to help on this necessary work
as in the case of the creation of Il
Cabinet Department of Mines and
Mining its Denver and Salt Lake pre-
dccessors pronounced in favor of the
policy advocated by this paper regard
ing the revision of federal mining law.
Doubtless there will be much to take
up the time and consideration of the
attendant delegates. but it is our opin-
ion that the Milwaukee convention can
do the mining industry great service
If ii shall succeed in advancing the
two measures here suggested upon the
calendar of the greatest tribunal on
earth--public opinion.

CRUELTY TO CHINESE.
CAUSE OF THE "soxERs" RAIDS
German and Belgian Engineers Said 10
Nave Provoked Attacks by Raising
Houses: Seizing Supplies, and impress
sing Labor,

In regard to the causes for the for
nation Of the Chinese society known
as Boxers" w. Il. Curtis, a well in
formed correspondent of the Chicago
Record, says:
II realize that 1t Is very unpopu-
lar position, but nevertheless there are
two sides to the story of the Boxers
in China. You will notice by the dis
patches that there are railroad riots in
the Shantung province, and the Bel
gian and German railway engineers
have been assaulted and are afraid of
assassination, and that work has been
suspended on certain portions of the
line now under construction. have
alluded to this matter before, and
while no one can justify assassination
or approve the cowardly methods
which the Boxers" have adopted TO
revenge themselves upon the foreign
devils" that have invaded their coun-
try, they can at least plead eXtraordin-
ary provocation, for the Germans and
the Belgians who are constructing rail
roads in the Shantung pra<ince have
treated the natives in II most abomin-
able manner and have provoked the
riots of which they now complain
That portion of China is one of the
most densely populated sections of the
earth, and the people have desperate
struggle for existence. Every inch OF
ground is cultivated; every straw and
every sprig of vegetation is utilized in
some way for the support of life. The
country is divided into little farms,
which are cultivated almost with mi
croscope, one might say, because it is
necessary for the subsistence of some
family, and the dead are buried in the
gravel hills, where nothing can grow.
Through this country and under
these conditions railways are being
constructed by German and Belgian
engineers, who show n most brutal in
difference to the rights and the prop
erty of the people. They run their
lines across the farms, they tear down
houses, burn villages. destroy crops,
the people in " most cruel and arbi-
trary manner. If the same things
should occur in the United States or in
Europe or in any other part of the
world they would be attended by the
same results. The Boxers were or
ganiZed to resist and revenge these
Outrages, and they use the only means
within their power to punish their OPP
pressors. A Chinaman never gets any
sympathy either in America or else
where, and the consciousness of that
fact compelS him to carry on his oper
ltions with as great secrecy ms posi-
Die. If the German and Belgian rail
road people would treat the poor coole
seize supplies. impress labor and treat
farmers of the Shantung province in Il
Just and honorable manner and give
them fair compensation for the prop
arty they have taken or destroyed.
there would be no need of sending
fleets to the Chinese wa tiers or demand
ing indemnity ut the tsung-li-yamen.

Paying Well.
The strike made by the Great Lakes
Mining and Smelling Company on one
of its claims near the famous Kurtz
Chattcrton mine. has not been exag-
gerated. At n depth of only twenty
five feet they have cut through seven
feet of copper glance ore, containing
oxides and sulphidcs in large quanti-
ties. 1t appears that ore body has not
yet been cut through to the opposite
wall, consequently the actual width of
the vein has not been asceriained at
the present time. The most of this ore
is high grade, and will easily average
twenty-five per cent to the ton. Three
carloads have already been taken out
and are now awaiting shipment. 1t is
the intention of the management of
this property to Immediately make ar
rangements for building u smelter on
their OVID properties.

LESS WATER TO RAISE.
One satisfactory Feature of the Situation
at Leadville.

One very satisfactory condition in
mining in the downtown region has
come about in recent years. namely the
decrease in the amount of water which
may he hereafter encountered in shaft
sinking. Fortunately the experiences
of the pioneers who put down the
shafts in 1890 and 1892 will never be
repeated. If they had to be gone
through with again it is doubtful if
the shafts would be sunk. While
the great subterranean sea is not yet
dry and may not he for several years,
il has reached such point that shaft
sinking 10 the contact is Il compatn-
lively simple matter. No pumping will
he required until Il certain depth of at
least 800 feet is reached. The ore plane
at this depth is so far from exhausted
that new shafts will have plenty to
keep them busy for some time at least,
without thinking of getting any deeper.
There was some question raised as to
the amount of water which might be
expected at the \. V shaft As II mat
ter of fact it will not he II great deal.
in the opinion of most mining men.
The California Gulch shaft. much be-
low II has none at 100 feet, and IL
