Rock Island Projects.-An interest

Rock Island Projects.-An interest
ing development in the construction
of the Arkansas Valley & Western
railroad into Denver, just come tt
light, Is that the surveying corps now
working into this city are from the
regular engineering forces Of the Rock
Island system, says the Denver Times
They we're reported last week as
working within about fifty miles 81
this city, and 1t is expected that they
will finish the surveys inside OF a
month. Associated press dispatches
stated a few days ago that the final
contracts for constructing the line
would be let on October is. The cost
of the extension into Denver will be
about s 5000, 900, according to the re.
ports from the engineering depart,
ment. The fact that the line Is being
located by Rock Island surveyors gives
good grounds for the belief that the
Rock Island and Frisco will operate
into this city over the same tracks.
The Rock Island now owns its own
rails to Limon Junction, ninety miles
east Of Denver. 1t uses the Union Pa
cifc rails from that point into this
city under a ninety-nine-year contract,
which can be terminated by the Rock
Island. There is little doubt that
when the Frisco gets here the joint
agreement between the Rock Island
and Union Pacific for the use Of the
tracks from Limon into this city will
be dissolved and that the Rock ISL
and will come in over It's own rails.

/. The working surplus of the Rock
Island company, which was about $40,
10000 seyen months ago, is now
some millions below that figure.
2. The private fortunes of the
four leading capitalists In Rock Isl
and have not been seriously impair
ed by the decline in the market during
the past twelve months. The value
Of securities owned outright has, OF
course diminished, and their borrow.
ing credit has been CORRESPONDENCE
curtailed. The same denmark applies
to every bank, corporation and individ.
ual stakeholder in America. The re.
turn on the original investment In old
Rock Island stock, calculating the cost
Of this stock at 100, is a very hand
some one.
3. The Rock Island party has no In
yestments or commitments in the mar.
ket that are not in their opinion thor
oughly safeguarded against the most
adverse conditions that can possibly
arise in Wall street. The long contin-
ued absence Of Judge Moore and J. H.
Moore from the Wall street district
reflects truly the attitude OF this in
terest toward the market SO far as
speculation is concerned.
4. The Rock Island party is In a
position to carry for three years II
necessary certain commitments that
will ultimately be financed and taken
entirely out Of the market.
S. So far as the market for Rock
Island securities is concerned the pol
lev Of the Rock Island group IS a wait
ing policy strictly. They regard the
market prices Of their securities as
entirely too low on the basis OF in
trinsic value, but they are content to
await a change in market conditions.
Information received In this city
this morning states that the New
Mexico & Pacific railroad from Ration,
N. NJ. to Elizabethtown in the same
territory is an assured certainty. It
was announced exclusively In the
Times yesterday that a syndicate Of
st. Louis capitalists had been formed
for the purpose of taking possession
Of Cimarron canyon, the only remain

is learned that among the party now
going over the route are several prom.

Washington, April 22.-Secretary
Root has directed the court-martial
of a number of army officers in Alas
ka who have been charged with maxi
ing use of commssary supplies for
their individual profit. 1t appears
that they have been purchasing sup
plies at cost and selling them at

shipped to Alaska.
1t has been more than year since
the otfenses were committed, and
since that time the officers have been
under investigation. The report of
the inspector who first went over the
case covers more than 500 pages.
One feature of the peculations was
in connection with handling potatoes.
Large supplies of this vegetable were
sent to the post at Skagway and they
were turned over to a trading com
pany at high rate. Although in the
hands of the trading company the po-
tatoes were carried on the books of
the commissary officer as stock in
hand until some officer made pur-
chases from the company, when the
stock of potatoes were reduced to
meet the credit at the rompany's Of
flee and the officer making the pur-
chase would he charged with pota-
toes. All the officers stationed at
Skagway at the time were implicated,
though it is stated at the war depart
ment that there were different de-
grees of possibility.
Another Alaska case relates to al
legged shortage in the accounts of an
officer. The officer claimed his safe
was broken open and the money stol-
en-. The authorities decided on a
court-martial. The names of the Of
fcers were not made public at the
department. Most of them have
changed station since the irregulari-
ties are said to have occurred.

ANOTHER MURDER.
IL Is a Sequel TO the Battle Between
Miners and Deputy NIarshaIs In West
VIRGINIA..

Charleston, w. Va, April 22.-An-
other tragedy, growing out of the
battle between striking miners and
deputy United States marshals at
Stamford City last February, oc-
Cured near that place Tuesday when
John Hairless, one of the strike lead
ers, was shot and Instantly killed by
John Laing and man named George,
who went with Deputy Marshals Cum
ningham and Summers to arrest Har-
less on a warrant issued by the fed
eral court. Cunningham and Sum-
mers went to the home of Hairless,
accompanied by Laing and George.
AS they approached the house the
two latter were stationed some dis
tance away to stop Hairless, in case
he should try to escape.
Hairless, seeing Cunningham and
Summers approaching, made an at
tempt to escape from the opposite
side of the house. Laing and George
called on him to halt, and as he con-
tinued to run, they killed him. Har-
less is said to have been one of the
strike leaders at the Stamford City
fight. Further trouble is feared as
the result of the killing of Hairless.

the demands of the men for the pay
ment of the Chicago scale for all

rent contra It's. 1t was the refusal
of the members of the union to work
for less than the Chicago scale, which
resulted in the strike. Men who were

REFUSES TO COME OUT.
Capt, Dunlap Declines TO Leave the
San Juan Naval Station and be Ar
rested.

San Juan, Porto Rico, April o.
The police have not been able TO ar
rest Capt. Andrew Dunlap, Z. S. N,
commandant of the naval station
here, against whom n warrant has
been issued for bringing in liquors
without paying duty, because the ma
val station is a government reserve
and Capt. Dunlap refu ,es to come out
or permit the police to enter. The
first time the naval officer leaves the
station he will be arrested. 1t was
thought yesterday morning that
Capt. Dunlap would leave the station
voluntarily, but it Is now probable
that he will not do so as long as the
police remain outside.
Commander G. w. Mentz, L. S. N,
and Robert Giles, against whom also
warrants were issued on the same
charge, have been .arraigned and
pleaded not guilty. A preliminary
hearing will be held before Justice
Bazan, native, but because of the
inability to apprehend Capt. Dunlap
the date for the hearing has not been
set.

whom there is warrant out on the
charge of illegally bringing in
liquors, is in the United States and

TITANIC IRON ORE.
An Experiment which Proves that nc
Can be SmeIted--An Important Dis-

An Experiment which Proves that nc
Can be SmeIted--An Important Dis
covery.
st. Paul, Mimi, April 2t.-An ex-
pertinent that may revolutionize the
iron and steel industry of the coun-
try was successfully made Monday
afternoon at the plant of the Valley
iron works, in this city. Titanic
iron ore, of which there are millions
of tons in northern Minnesota, was
smelted in an ordinary cupola and
turned out pig iron which polished
like steel and which, according to
those interested in the experiment,
is better than the finest Bessemer
steel.
While the hard and soft iron ore
mines of st. Louis county have been
turning out millions of tons annually
for years, farther north there are gil
gantic beds of iron which, because
of the presence of titanium, making
it refractory, have received but little
attention, although their existence is
generally known.
1t has been commonly believed that
some time it would be necessary to-
use this ore because of the rapid
dwindling of the supply of hard ore
necessary 10 DrlnP tne beSSeIneT
grade, and that before that time a
process would be discovered by which
this apparently valueless ore could
be used.
Frank Johnson. of st. Paul, claims
to have discovered such a process and
in the presence of delegation of
Duluth men interested in mining, Mr..
Johnson conducted successful dem
onstration of his discovery. A prom
inent chemist and assayer who was.
present gave it as his opinion that
this ore could now be smelted as
cheaply as hematite.
Aside from the solving of the ques-
tion of how to smelt this refractory
ore, it is said that it produces a steel
better than Bessemer because with
one-third the weight the same ten
sile strength is secured. The super
ior quality of the product is ascribed
to the presence in the ore of van
adium and chrome, ingredients that
are said to give it extraordinary
strength and toughness.
