Company was a fraud. Our first move
was to send experts to examine our
properties at Joplin.
These experts found that we held
two mines, the Mayne and the Blue

mine-the Free Courage-subject, how
ever, to a $4,000 mortgage about to be
foreclosed.
"They reported the Mayne as abso-

THE U. $. STEEL CORPORATION.

In kicking against the apportion-
ment allotted to them in the distribu-
ton of the stock of the new steel COM
bine, the American Steel and Wire
and the National Tube companies are
alone. Other stockholders, espe-
cially those of the most powerful of
the absorbed companies, the Carnegie,
are passive in the matter. "The Carne-
gle stockholders" says the Min
ing and Engineering Journal,
''can afford to disregard these
disputes, since their interest pay
ments are obligatory, and they
will have a mortgage lien. Indeed,
it is altogether probable that even
in the poorest year their interest
car he earned and paid, though divi-
dends on the stock may be entirely
lacking. Outside of the Carnegie prop
critics, the new company is capitalized
at several times the real value of what
it will own, and the amount of its
dividends, except in an extremely pros
porous year, is very problematical."
1t is pointed out that there have been
few corporations organized in which
such great powers have been given to
the board of directors as will be en-
joyed by the directors of the United
States Steel Corporation. There is,
in fact, in the articles of Incorporation,
hardly any limit to these powers. "It is
also a point" says the Journal above
quoted, ito which especial attention
should be called, that by those articles
which are the fundamental law of
the corporation-the directors are en-
powered to withhold from stockholders
any or all information about the af-
fairs of the company, should they see
fit to do so. This is a point of which
investors should take especial note"
In discussing such industrial consoli-
dations in general, our contemporary
calls attention especially to one point,
namely, that 'the practical removal of
competition is likely to be unfavorable
to metallurgical progress. The induce
ments to continue the operation of old
plants and to avoid the expenditure
of large sums for improvements, will
be very strong-too strong, we fear,
to be always overcome. The result will
be a conservatism to which we have
not been accustomed, and which may
have results not altogether creditable
to the American iron and steel in
dustry."

No two of them seem to be exact

a lot of them out at one time before
said Miss Semira. She loved flowers
and nearly every foot of her small front
yard was laid u in beds and mounds.
There was not a weed to be seen, and
her plants looked thrifty and bore evil

back of the flower garden had plants
in the two front windows. and climb
ing vines completely covered the small
green lattice-work porch over the
front door. All of the flowers and
plants were of the old fashioned va
~rieites. Miss Semira did not care for
floral novelties" She liked her four

RUSSIAN SUGAR AND CUBAN To-
BACCO.


Yesterday the Register referred to
the Presidents order abolishing the
Cuban export duty on Cuban tobacco,
n asked how Secretary Gage could
allow the matter to pass without the
imposition of a countervailing duty
in the United States, in view of his
action in the case of Russian sugar.
He justiies his order in that case
on the plea that the Russian govern
ment pays a premium of three-quarters
of a cent per pound on every pound
of sugar exported. Says the New York
World:
The facts of the case, as stated by
American merchants familiar with the
Russian sugar trade, do not sustain this
assertion. Russia levies an i~nternal-rev-
enue tax on sugar and RENTS it on sugar
that is exported. That surely is not a
premium or bounty. 1t does not reduce
the cost of producing sugar. Many SINH
lar rebates of taxation are allowed by our
own laws on exported goods, but they
are never considered as bounties.
On principal of law or EQUITY does
Mr.. Gage construe as a bounty in Russia
hat is conceded to American exporters
(of whiskey, for example) without their
being classified as bounty-getters either
by their own or by any foreign govern
ment?
And by the same token, we repeat,
how is Secretary Gage going to escape
levying a countervailing tax on Cuban
tobacco in view of the repeal of the
export tobacco tax? Of course, We all
understand clearly enough that in the
Russian sugar case the Sugar trust
compelled Mr.. Gage to levy the counter
vailing duty, and we understand, also,
that the Tobacco trust is the cause of
the Presidents action in repeating the
Cuban export tax as it will be the cause
a preventing Secretary Gage from tax

Dangerous Roof or top, I'm Coal

Almost cursory examination Of almost

1t is the duty of the mine foreman or pit
boss to see that each working place Is
maintained In a safe condition. but with
the supply Of needed timber and a few
hurried instructions 10 the miner the re-
sponsibility of the mine foreman ends and
the work of setting timber at the face
devolves uoo the miner himself.
Many a minerahas lost his life through
the neglect to perform this work prompt
ly. Familiarity with the dangers of min
ing does not tend to make the miner a
competent judge as 10 whether the setting
of a few posts is an immediate Necessity
or whether it may not be delayed until he

The stockholders next discovered
that Charles s.. Hartwell, the silent
member of the defunct Joshua Brown
& Co, had previously figured as presi-
dent of the Yukon Trading, Mining &
Exploration Company, which went to
pieces, wiping out the savings of cred
ulous thousands.
1t was further learned that DR.. John
Grant Lyman had figured as a director
in the Yukon Company while the firm
OF Joshua Brown & Co. had handled
some of it's business. Soon DR.. Lyman
blossomed out as a stock broker, with
splendidly equipped Offices at No. 50
