HOPE DISPELLED.
President shaffer Again Declares
False Rumors of Settle
ment of Strike.

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 13.-The air was
again full of rumors Thursday that the
strike had been settled. The absence
OF President Shaffer from Amalgama-
ted headquarters all day up to four p.
m. lent color to the report. By many
Mr.. Shaffer was supposed to be in New
York IN conference with President
SchWab, and others were convinced
that he was in conference with the
American Tin Plate officials discuss
ing a proposition to call the strike off,
SO lar as that company was concerned.
When President Shaffer finally APP
peared at headquarters he dispelled
all hopes by saying there was no
change in the situation. Immediately
after arriving at the Office Mr.. Shaffer
called the national officers to his room
for conference, which lasted 40 min
utes. It was impossible to learn what
the talk was about, as none of the par
Elephants would talk.
1t was said at Amalgamated head
quarters that the steel combine has re-
fused to entertain any further propo-
sitions of settlement from the Amalga-
mated associa ton. This would seem to
strengthen the report from New York
that the situa ton is now in just the
shape that it was before the first con-
ference at Cleveland, in the hands Of
the constituent companies for set
Element; that Mr.. Schwab and Mr. Nor
gan have turned the matter over to the
local officials, and that if anything is
done it must be done by them, and
through the officers in New York.

Howl, You howlers! Curse
the trusts and the minute you get
ten dollars ahead send in an order
to Montgomery Ward, Sears &
Roebuck, etc, and help support
one of the biggest trusts in the
country. What if you do get your
goods little cheaper-that is what
the trusts claim to do. They
crush out competition by their low
prices and if you take the benefit
you simply sustain them in their
contention. Every dollar sent to
a mail house is just that much to-
wards building up a trust. Mont
gomery Ward is not philan-
thropist in any sense of the word.
He is a shrewd business man who
by judicious advertising has built
up Il trust that bids fair to wreck

merchants and denounce the
trusts. Let your actions speak

Mr.. Ingraham is associated with

has been employed at this COM
pany's group Of claims on Red
river. A tunnel has been run 450
feet on the Copper King claim, a
depth of $50 feet having been
reached. An cighteen-foot ore
body has been exposed carrying
values ranging from So to $50 per
ton. 1t is conservatively estimated
that there is now exposed in the
tunnel workings $4,000 tons OF
ore. The ore is remarkably SINH
lar in appearance to specimens
taken from the Ajax mine at a
depth of 2l0 feet. The values are

impressively held by mining men
that the Dixie region is destined to
to soon develop into an important
producer.
Mr.. Ingraham reports that while
passing through Dixie on his
present trip here he was informed
that the richest ore yet exposed in
the mine had been struck in the
shaft now being sunk below the
second level on the Ajax. No
details were available but it is
believed that the strike was made
at a depth of about 80 feet below
the level. The Importance of this
strike may be understood when It
is considered that the ore exposed
in the levels already explored in
the Ajax has carefully estimated
value Of 5000, 900.
At Sites Mr.. Ingraham saw the
ten stamp mill and hoist which is
now en- route to the Dixie Queen
mine. The Dixie Queen is located
about one mile from the Ajax.
1t is said a splendid body of ore
has been exposed on the property.
Charles H. Harding, the mining
man, has fine collection of ores
from the Dixie mining district on
display ut his room in the Thatcher
house. Tho exhibits include
samples from the 2lO-foot level oil
the Ajax, and also specimens from
the Gold Bug and Columbia No.
claims on Big creek. The Ajax
specimen has tested $500 to the
ton, while the large specimen from
the Gold Bug is valued at 81 a
pound. The specimens inclu d.
also some fine looking ore from
the Buster mine ut Elk City. II
speaking Of the Dixie country, Mr.
Harding said: s"rhe results tina
