report of the Board of Missions for

New York city, from the committee on

THE HANNA-FORAKER controversy
over the Endorsement of President
Rooseyelt's administration by the Ohio
State Convention is becoming more COM
plicated. 1t is now indicated that the
fight will be even more bitter than at
first anticipated. Senator Foraker has
received much information from his
lieutenants in Ohio. 1t had been the
intention of Mr.. Foraker to leave Wash
ington today and begin an active contest
to prevent control of the convention by
Senator Hanna. He thought there was
an even chance of preventing the
organization by the Hanna forces. He
has now abandoned this purpose, being
convinced that nothing can take the
control away from Mr.. Hanna. In
abandoning his intention of seeking to
prevent the organization of the convention
by Senator Hanna, and as he has no
personal interest in it. Mr.. Foraker
will devote himself entirely to securing
the Endorsement of Mr.. Roosevelt

ABSORBED BY SOUTHERN. The South
ern Railway and the Mobile and Ohio
Railway will, it is said, consolidate July
/. The Southern has owned a majority
of the stock of the Mobile and Ohio for
some time and it was the intention to
consolidate in April, but the fact that
there was considerable legislative excite
ment at that time in the State of Missis-
sippi caused the management of the
Southern to postpone the matter. 1t Is
probable that the name of the Mobile
and Ohio will be used no longer than
July l and that thereafter the lines
composing that system will be operate
under the name of the Southern Railway
Company. 1t is unlikely that there
will be any radical changes in the active
force of the Mobile and Ohio, as that
road will, when consolidated with the
Southern, need nearly or quite as many
men to operate it as now. 1t is under
stood that after the consolidation the
Mobile and Ohio will be operated in
two divisions, as simply a part of the
Southern Railway.

In giving he IS offer during the month
of April the Bi-Chemic Physicians thought
that they gave ample time for every one
who desired to take advantage of 1t. But
their experience during the closing days Of
the past month has taught them that they
were mistaken. They were compelled to
lengthen their Office hours from early
morning until late at night. but still they
were unable to see all the patients applying
for treatment. Many had to be turned away.
The office facilities and strength Of the
Physicians were taxed to their fullest ex-
tent. Hundreds of letters have been re-
ceived requesting that the offer be extended
a few days longer.
The Bi-Chemic Physicians feel that Il
would be manifestly unjust to extend the
offer to a few and charge others a higher
rate. consequently they have decided to
make the following offer:
All persons applying before June 1 will be
treated at the nominal rate Of IS per month
until cured. medicines included. This offer
applies to all diseases and includes their
famous N-Ray examination. This is
your last opportunity. Under no circum-
stances will the offer be extended beyond
the date mentioned. 1t is important to call
as early during the month as possible in
order to avoid the scenes Of hurrying and
confusion which occurred during the closing
days of last month.

Editor Dittman Of ReddinR, Tells Of

NJ. f. Dittman of Reddlng. Cal, editor of

of the California Miners Association, is at
the Planters Hotel. while looking after
business matters in St. Louis. Speaking Of
the mining industry in the far West. Mr..
Dittman said:
In a metallurgical sense. mining has
been revolutionized in the past ten years.
The geology and mineralogy of ore depos-
tied and ores is becoming less and less a
sealed book. and the accumulated knowl-
edge has resulted in bringing forth a
learned and honorable profession. and the
mining engineer of to-day represents the
highest paid profession in the world.

this statement submit the fact that not less
than $780, 900. 600 in metal value is now DEM
onstrated in our county and one-third of
operations of the next twenty-five years. I
believe there Is no point in the West-not
even Butte. Mont. that can make such a
showing.
THE reason of this tremendous reserve
is because we are a new district and ex-
ploration is far in advance of our smelling
capacity. In fact. We have but two smelt-
ers in operation. with a capacity, combined,
of less than 100 tons daily, while plants
projected and warranted by conditions will
bring the reduction capacity up to 1000 tons
a day.
Our largest producer is the Mountain
Copper Company: Limited. which has been
a steady dividend payer since it began op-
erations In 1887. This company has shown
an annual earning of 30 per cent on its cap
ital Of $50 900. Captain De La Mars mine
at Bully Hill is one of the richest proper
ties In California. and earned 81. 5OO.O00 the
first year of its operation. The Afterthought

Company, will become one Of the large pro-
ducers.
California will make a high-grade ex-
hibit at your Exposition. The mining ex-
hiott will be better than anything that Cal
ifornia has ever sent out. and I expect to
be identified to a certain extent with gath
ering it. There is nothing so broadening as
a modern Exposition. and the Importance of
