AFTER PAPER MILLS
WANTS ALL PLANTS Tin THREE
STATES.
Blank Forms 3ur Options on
Property Desired Including
! Water Rights.

Menasha, Wis, Sept. l5-The great
lest paper mill deal ever projected in
the west has just came to light. The
deal includes the purchase outright
of every paper manufacturing plant
in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Mich.
gan. The American Consolidated Pa.
\ per company is the name of the new
trust, which has been capitalized at
100000, 900.
The firm of Dewar 4 Yerkes nf Chi
cago, the junior member of the Arm
being a relative and business asso-
ciate of Charles T. YeTkes, formerly
owner CT the Chicago street railways,
is the promoter of the deal. John
Strange Of Oshkosh, formerly Of the
John Strange Paper company, Me-
fasha, acting fer the promoters of the
project, has presented blank forms
for options to all the paper manu-
facturers in the Fox river valley dis
trict. Other agents of Dewar &
Yerkes acted in a similar capacity in
Minnesota and Michigan.
The options cover the right to pur-
chase all the property Of the paper
plants, including the right to water
power. except the bank accounts and
the bills receivable. The blank forms
for options are dated to expire Janu-
airy 1, 1908.
Privilege Of buying stock in the
new company is granted, but no stip-
ulations that the sellers must sub
scribe are made. This means that
the purchase Of the mills for the most
part, if the deal is contaminated, will
be outright and for cash.
Up to the present time it cannot be
learned that any Of the mill owners
in the Fox river valley have taken
any action on the options.

Hairbreadths Escapes.

Aberdeen. Wash, Sept. 15.-The
conditions in regard to the forest
fires in this section have materially
changed for the better. The reports
of loss of life in certain instances
have not been confirmed, all those be-
ing reported as lost now being &C
counted for, although there were some
hairbreadth escapes and startling ex-
periences, in the Hoquaim river, as
their only chance of escape, and even
then their hair and eyebrows were
siRged off. Lumbermen say that the
fire was mostly in the brush, dead
wood, etc, and that green timber has
not been injured materially.

John Mitchell, president Of the Unit
ed Mine Workers, who is at strik.
Headquarters in Wilkesbarre, Pa,
made this statement today in a long
distance telephone interview with tn.
News.
Nothing toward a settlement was
accomplished at the Harrisburg aN1n
ference between Governor Stone .o1
Pennsylvania, President Mitchell, thu
presidents of three anthracite dis
tricts and others.
"Did Governor Stone represent i
p. Morgan Or any of the anthracite
presidents ?"
ri did not understand that he was
representing anyone beside himself. y
rs a settlement any nearer be-
cause Of the c~cnferenEe?'
mo
did Governor Stone propose that
the miners should return to work on
a promise of concessions being made
afterwards by the operators?"
mo proposition Of that kind was
submitted. There is no foundation for
the report that the men are going to
return to work on a promise that the
operators will make concessions and
arbitrate afterwards"
would the miners return to work
under such an arrangement
4"They would not"
Are you as confident as ever of
winning"
II am certainly very hopeful now
that the strike will be ended in our
favor" d
The big defense fund that is being
collected at the national headquarters
at Indianapolis, Mr.. Mitchell said, is
proving sufficient to relieve the dis
tress in the region. About $4,000 min
ers have left the region since the
strike began, leaving about 100, 900,
he explained, to be cared for.
