WHY 500 IS lRONG'
Earnings Are Large; It's Surplus
Is 2 IA Millions.
ITS TERRITORY IS FILLING UP
Operating Expense Below
the Average.

The 500 road had net surplus July /, 1901,
of $4,000. 1t has earned since that date
about $1,260,00O net. thus bringing up it's
present surplus to $2,25o,000. Every week the
earnings show an increase over the corre-
spending week a year ago o Passenger earn
ings are one-third more for eight months
than for the corresponding period last year.
This increase in passenger business Is the
best evidence of the rapid settlement and
development of the country tributary to the
500 road.
Last year 100 miles of new road were built
and paid for by the issue of bonds No new
stock was issued. and it is the policy OF the
directors not to issue any new stock on ac-
count of extensions this year
The 500 company now owns and operates
1897 miles of road, against which there are
outstanding $35, 100000 bonds and $4,000, 900
stock, equal to $40, 900 per mile for both. This
is low compared with many roads The
Northern Pacific stock and bonded debt is
500 900 per mile, while Chicago Great Western
is $4,000 per mile
The operating expenses of the 500 road per
mile are per cent less than Northern Pacific
and 25 per cent less than the Chicago Great
Western
Wheat seeding has been somewhat delayed
on account of the ground being too wet, but
is now in full blast all along the 500 road.
It will require two weeks to complete the
wheat seeding. Later will follow fax seed
ing, which is now the largest and most inpor-
tant crop in that new and fertile country.
An enormous increase in acreage will be
planted this year, and with the great amount
of moisture now in the soil, resulting from
the heavy SHOWS of last month, large crop
| is almost assured. If realized, the 500 road S
earnings will show rapid increase and its
! stock will continue its advance on merits
Present earnings are equal to Z per cent per
annum on both preferred and common stock,
after allowing fer $250,GO0 the directors au-
thorized to be expended for betterments
/ Rapid advances in stocks in the northwest
are not unusual. In 1896 Minneapolis & St
Louis common sold at -, and it recently sold
at 112 Great Northern during the same pc:
Rod advanced from 1861 to 1856. Twin City
Rapid Transit stock in 1896 sold at 1917; it is
now 120. ~&
conservative commercial authority il
Minneapolis gives it as his belief that on thu
present showing 500 common is worth 80 ant
that with good crop conditions it will go tt
par.

Crank PIN Broke and Let the Con-
Meeting Rod Drop.
Special to The Journal
Lead, s., D., April 15.-The engine in the
Highland stamp mill, one of the plants of
the Homestake company, was almost COM
pletely demolished owing to the breaking
Of six-inch crank pin. The engine is of
$50 horse power, and was running under
a full head of steam. The connecting rod
dropped and began wrecking everything
within reach. Both cylinder heads were
knocked out, the engine was partly shifted
from it's bed, and the floor was torn up.
The engineer had stepped into an ad-
joining room a moment before. He hur-
ried back and, cropping his way through
the steam, shut off the supply pipe lead
ing from the boilers, thus stopping the
engine The Highland mill, of 14o stamps,
will be closed until new engine can be
procured, which will require several
weeks. 1t is not thought the old engine
can be made serviceable. It had been in
use twenty-five years.

PRICES SHOOT UPWARD
Builders Hardware Suddenly Adj
YRnCCs 20 Per Cent.

-
Builders hardware of every description
has advanced in price about 20 per cent
at the factories. Jobbers have made
a corresponding advance. For several
years the manufacturers of this class OF
hardware have said that they were not
making money The advance is undoubt-
edly due to the fact that by the formation
of the American Hardware company
enough competition has been eliminated
to enable the manufacturers to get to-
gether and make an advance. The new
company is financial consolidation of the
Russell & Erwin Manufacturing company
and P. & F. Corbn Of New Britain, Conn.,
Several of the more important manufac-
turers in other parts Of the country are
SO affiliated with the consolidated firm
that they have entered into an agreement
affecting prices.
2 Another reason for the advance is the
great demand. Orders placed last De-
cember by some firms are not yet filled.

for Duplicating.

Detroit, Mich. April 15.-Captain
Charles T. Witherell, U. S. A., retired
was tried by court martial to-day at Fort
Wayne on the charge of duplicating his
pay vouchers for November and December,
1901 and January, 1902. 1t is alleged that

vouchers to Louis Silverman, of New
York. and that he then issued duplicates
for each month which he disposed of to
three different persons here.
Captain Witherell's attorney contended
that his clients stipend from the govern

pension, and that therefore he was not
amenable to court martial for the al
legged duplication. The contention was
overruled by the court.

put him on car at Saltwater, giving
him SO cents, and had told him to go to
