The Greatest Rebates.

A To the best of my recollection the
greatest rebates We're paid from 1877 to
1879 During hat time we had an agree
ment for special ten pei cent commission
L think that agreement was made with the
PENNSYLVANIA, the Erie and the New York
Central roads. Large rebates were also
paid during the summer of 1STs anountiro
beleVe, 10 64i2 cents on refined oil. 10
equalize eastern shipments by rail with
shipments by Erie canal. But these re-
bates were )aid to all who shipned nv rail
Aey "ere not discriminatory rates. / am
n"t now sure whether any other road than
% lhe Pcnasylvanfa collected the full amount
and paid tn -se rebates The Erie and Te1,
YORK central made the same reductions In
rates to meet canal shipments. but nv i'm
prHsSlon Is that the Erie at least did not
collect the higher rate from shippers and

Lower Rates Mennt Cheaper Oil.
A No percentage of the profits of the
S'Shdard Oh Company came from advan-
taees given by railroads at any time
Whatever advantages it received in its con-
slant efforts to reduce rates of freight was
deducted from the price of oil. The advan-
taseS to the Standard from low freight
rates consisted solely in the increased vol
Time OF It's business arising from the low
price of its products

any of its affiliated companies ever receive
under any name whatever any income
from any railroad for oil shipped over those
roads by any of Its conn letitors? If so, give

CHEAPER OIL GIVEN
President Rockefeller Tells About
the Standard.
EFFECT OF INDUSTRIAL COMBINATION
Has Enabled Us to Enter the Mar
kets Of Europe.


Mr.. John D. Rockefeller. president of the
Standard Oil Company, has submitted to the
United States industrial commission replies
TO series of questions sent to him by the
commission, this being in the form of a
what are regarded as vital phases of the
investigation into the subject of trusts and
Industrial combinations. especially as they
relate to the oil industry.
The questions of the commission and Mr..
Rockefellers replies follow:
MIR. RockefeIIer's First Combination.
1. Q. What was the first combination in
which you Were interested of different es-
Establishments in the oil industry?
A The first combination of different es-
Establishments in the oil industry in which
was interested was the union of William
Rockefeller & Co, Rockefeller & Andrews,
Rockefeller & Co, S. V. Harkness & H. NJ.
fIaSler, about the year 1867.
2. .. What were the causes leading to its
formation?
A. The causes leading to its format ton
was the desire to unite our skill and capi-
tai in order to carry on a business of some
magnitude and Importance in place of the
small business that each separately had
heretofore carried on. AS time elapsed and
the possibilities of the business became ap-
parent, We found further capital to be
necessary, obtained the required persons
and capital and organized the Standard Oil
Company, with a capital of 81 ,UU,0W. Later
We found more capital could be utilized and
found persons with capital to interest them
selves with US, and increased our capital
to S.JD,oUo. As the business grew, and
markets were obtained at home and abroad,
more persons and capital We're added to
the business, and new corporate agencies
were obtained or organized, the object being
always the same, to extend our business by
furnishing the best and cneaDeSt products.
). Q. Did the Standard Oil Company or
ether affiliated interests at any time before
1887 receive from the railroads rebates on
fl leight shipped or other special advantages?

A Big MINE DEAL.
Chicago Capitalists Secure Grant County
Property for $l5O,0OO.

The Summit group of lead mines in the
Cooks mining district, Grant county,
has been sold to #. A. Fuller and broth
ers of Chicago, for $l5O,oOo. The claims
are known as the Teel & Poe property.
The ore is sand carbonate, with con-
siderable galena, which ensures very
easy working. As the result of single
shot in one stope, Sc carloads OF ore
running more than 80 per cent in lead
and carrying ~ ounces to the ton in
silver, were knocked down. The deep
est shaft has been sunk but 140 feet,
and great deal of paying ore has been
taken out. A number of leasers are
still at work on the property.
Mr.. Fuller is now on the ground and
his wife and family are in Deming. He
will personally supervise the work of
installing machinery and beginning
active mining operations. Electric
drills will be used and up-to-date ma.
chinery in every particular will be put
in. A tunnel which will strike the vast
ore body several hundred feet lower
than the present workings, will be run,
and the most scientific methods of min.
ing employed.
Cooks will speedily become one of the
best mining camps in the territory.
The Ell Paso company operating the
Othello and Desdemona mines has 30 Ol
40 men at work and is making a for.
tune. Leasers are doing we'll. There
are number of other good properties
in the camp and capital invested can
get O sure return.

THE END OF The LOVING SYNDICATE
The Capital Syndicate Is Disposing of Its
Lands and Cattle.

The Capital Syndicate, commonly
known in Texas as the 1T ranch, is pre-
pairing to go out of business. This is
now about the largest stock organiZa-
ton in the country, owning 3,060,OO0
acres of land in one tract in the Pan
handle of Texas, and about 100000 head
of cattle. The company has demonstra-
ted to it's own satisfaction that the time
has come when a big cattle company
will rot pay, even when it has plenty of
land. Last winter great effort was
made to dispose Of the property as a
whole. and this big ranch was the foun-
lation of the proposed $50.00O,000 COM
binat ,on that Colonel Loving of Fort
Worth, tried to float. This scheme fell
through and now the company is offer
ing its lands in blocks to suit the pur-
chHHer, and on easy terms and low rate
OF interest The present plan is to sell
off the land around the edges of the big
tract and gradually dispose of the cat
tie and the lands to small holders. The
price asked thus far is $4 per acre,
which is rather high, but if the COM
pany should go into the market in a
business like way, there is no doubt but
that the whole tract and all the cattle
could soon be disposed of. AT present,
the experiment is being watched with
considerable interest in southeastern
New Mexico.

situation with a mining company Both
Mr. and Mrs. Rhodes are graduates of
the college.
A most successful box social' was
held at the ladies' dormitory on the 26th
instant, the proceeds being for the pur-
pose of adding to the fund started by
the sophomore class, two years ago, for
purchasing a college bell. AS result
of this event, the fund is now sufficient
to purchase suitable bell, which will
be placed in the college tower in the
main building.
The large farm corral, designed for
stock purposes, which was begun a year
ago, is now being finished, the various
rooms and sheds around the corral be-
will be most valuable addition to the
farm buildings, and one that has been
needed, for several years.
That violets can be successfully
grown in this climate has been demon
strated by the horticultural department

have been whitewashed to exclude all
direct sunlight, the frames being COW

ly little care. The plants are now COM
ing into bloom, and promise to bear
heavily. It would thus appear that vio-
let culture. so successful commercial
venture in the east, is by no means an
impossbilty in our high and dry eli
mate.

A REFORMER'S DEATH.
Ex-Mayor William L. Strong, Of New York,
Is No More,

New York, Nov. 2.-William Strong,
mayor of New York from January L.
1895, to December 81, 1897, is dead. Mr.
Strong took an active part in the pres
ent campaign. 1t is said his political la
bors combined with his attempts to re-
tain the supervision over his business
affairs, in the face of impaired health,
brought about the illness that resulted
in his death. Mr.. Strong was born in
Ohio in 1927, and came to New York
when a young man. In 1870 he organic
led the firm of William L. Strong & Co.,
which grew to be one of the prominent
business houses in the city. He also
was president of the Central National
bank. Mr.. Strong was one of the lead
ers in the reform movement in this city,
and was elected mayor on the Republi-
can-C Citizens union ticket in 1894. He
was the last mayor of the old City of
New York before consolidation with
Brooklyn and other boroughs.
