HANNA TO SCOTT: HUSH ~
HE oUIETs THE PRESIDENTIAL BOOM
STARTED BY THE WEST VIR-
GINA SENATOR.

Senator Hanna who Is at the Waldorf-As
toria, yesterday put TO sleep the Hanna boom
for the Presidency started by Senator Scott
down in West Virginia. The men are great
friends and Mr. Scott thinks there is nothing
too good for the chairman of the Republican
National Committee. When it was suggested
to Senator Hanna last night that Mr.. Scott
was saying a number of pleasant things about
him, he smiled grimly. chewed vigorously at
the end Of his cigar, and said:
Yes I notice that Scott is saying things. 1
sent him word yesterday that If he didn't quit
it quick I'd cuff him..
OF the business outlook Mr.. Hanna said:
Prosperity is widespread throughout the
country. Labor is in good demand, money Is
fairly easy and ] can't that anything Is
likely TO interrupt continuance Of good times. y
DO you get any news from China. outside the
regular news channeS?'' he asked.
No said the Senator AS the boys say.
we've got the edge of il over there. Secretary
Hav has done splenddly in the conduct of our
affairs and the course Of this country through
out has been above reproach. We distinctly
anr ounced when went to China that We
were not striving to gain territory. and that we
were in no way interested in any scheme to
dismember the empire. We were there TO pro-
tect the lives Of citizens and to guard our
commercial interests. I believe the intelligent
Chinese have the fullest confidence in us"
What do you hear from the Nebraska Sena-
torship deadlock Mr.. Hanna was asked.
There is change in the situation. L don't
know that there is any eXpedent we haven (
tried to bring about the election OF two Repuh-
lican Senators. The Republicans made a gal
liant fight there last fall and took the State
away from the POpulists. 1t is pity that the
victory to be so near fruitless. AS to the
Delaware situation. / want TO say that the
charges made by a number of Philadelphia
papers that / tried bring about the election
Of Addicks not true ! wanted two Repubi-
cans elected. and | didn't care particularly who
were named"
One of Senator Hannas callers was Richard
c. Kerens, of Missouri.

NINETY NILES FOR s CENTS.
JOHNSON'S ULTIMATE PLAN FOR PHILA-
DELPHIA LINE.
SAYS HE WILL START WITH A FARE OF 50
CENTS FROM THIS CTTY-MAY HAVE
EIGHT TRACKS.

An eight track trolley line between Jersey
City and Philadelphia, with cars propelled at
the rate Of sixty miles hour. and a five cent
iare from city lin" to city line is the ultimate
plan Of Albert l. Johnson. the railroad con-
tractor. Mr.. Johnson announced yesterday at
his office i'm the Empire Building. that he had
ordered sufficient steel rails to lay fifty miles
of trolley track for his new line, the Philadel-
phia. Trenton and Iehigh Valley Railroad.
The new railroad is not merely projected,
said Mr. Johnson. but il is being actually con-
structed. ] have bought an iron bridge across
the Delaware at Trenton. and have three hun

The General Electric Company has guaranteed

DO you count getting the great bulk OF

OF people would travel a cheap fare where
comparatively few travel now. Still. the steam
roads would retain ali the drawing room and

ANInALS AT LARGE.

So far this month the pound
master has driven 32S head of
horses out of the city. Last night
between S and 10 o'clock he drove
out twenty seven head and this
morning, before 6 O'Clock he drove
out twenty-eight more When he
impounds any of these the owner
claims they are range stock, and
the police magistrate orders them
released Last night five horses
tramped down one of the finest
lawns in the city. They were
range" horses and according to
the ruling of the police magistrate
the owner of the property destroy
ed has no recourse,
If there is state law protecting
such nuisance, it is vicious in its
effects and should be wiped out at
the earliest possible moment If
the fault is with city officials they
ought to take tum BILE to them
selves and assist the pound master
in protecting the city from stock
running at large. Certainly the
city ordinance makes no distinc-
tion between range and work
horses, and if the ordinance is con-
trary to the state laws then it
should be repealed.
There is evidently something
wrong somewhere, and meapwhile
our citizens are made to suffer,

TO ENTER NEW DISTRICT.
Prospectors Working on Line OF
New Broad Gauge Road.

ANGN
The new railroad which is to be
built to connect Florence with the
Cripple Creek district will run
through a new mineral district
which is now being opened up.
This country is northwest of Will
bur and about twenty miles from
here
There are a number of prospeo-
tors who have been busy during
the summer and fall opening up
what they believe to be, and their
belief is backed by high assays,
which assure coming mining
camp. A number of prospect
holes are down about fifty feet
The deepest one is sixty feet and
is owned by Florence man. This
work is still progressing and from
the developments made gold bear
ing ore has been uncovered.
1t is very evident to the mind of
every well posted man that with
the proper development of the
surrounding territory, within a
raniu5 of twenty-five miles of Flor
ence, that the present ore pro
duction could be easily doubled
and that entirely outside of the
now known Cripple Creek district.
1t will be remembered that at
one time that camp was cattle
range, and was travelled not only
by COW boys looking for cattle, but
had lso been looked over carefully
by old experienced prospectors
who pronounced it unproductive
of gold This demonstrates how
easily it is to be deceived in min
ing districts.
1t requires the right application
of muscle, brains, money and ener-
gy to bring into existence a pro-
ducing mining camp Even after
quite a production of the precious
metal had been secured from the
Cripple Creek district the skeptics
outnum bered those who had faith
in it hundred to one. Nearly
every mining camp has the same
history. LeadvilIe in its earlier
days was placer mining camp.
At that time the prospectors being
unfamiliar with the carbonate ores,
tramped over it in every day for
years,
History repeats itself and in a
few short years it will be demon
strated that other great mining
districts will be opened at our
very door In developing the dis
trict the prospector with his pick
and pack burro blaze the way for
the capitalist who comes in after
wards and too often reaps the
benefit of the prospectors efforts.
Although this seems to have no
depreciable effect in decreasing
the number who engage in pros
pecting.
There may not be valuable prop
erty in the foot hills of the Green
horn range, but if the proper
development of these leads should
be made, as good producers may
possibly be opened there as any in
the state.
