Editor weser Signal:
Dear Sir; We have been climbing
the rocky cliffs and cutting our way
through the beautiful forests of Par.
adise Flat since leaving Weiser, and
have been so busy that we have
nearly forgotten our friends.
Rapid River Mining district is one
of the liveliest spots in idaho, where
it is hurry and hustle 'everywhere,
and The Iron Springs Mining Co is
to the front in development work

driving shafts, tunnels and open cuts

he Rankin Process Proves Grand Successl

OThe success of the Rankin process
assures the.:opening up of many mines
which the low grade quality of the
ores they contained and the high
cost of reduction, precluded the
possibility of their being worked at
profit.
The Signal extends the glad hand
to Mr. Rankin and his associates who
have demonstrated their faith by
their works, on the success of their
process.
The mill will be started for regular
operation IN about ten days.
A large amount of machinery for
the company is at Council, awaiting
shipment.

HOW is 1T THEY coNTRoLg
Question Congressman Ask Regarding
Independent Operators.

BOSTON, Jan. 27.-The congression-
al inquiry into the coal situation in
New England in general and in Boston
in particular was not concluded today.
Tonight this committee were the
guests at dinner of the Massachusetts
legislative coal committee when the
testimony thus far received by both
committees was informally discussed.
The congressional inquiry is order
ed to close tomorrow. That the COM
mittee has formed an opinion on the
when one of the members remark
ed:
Many a man has been hanged for
murder on less conclusive evidence"
When questioned as to what could
be done in case combination to keep
up prices should be proved to exist, he
admitted that practically nothing could
be done and the beneficial effects of
the investigation, if there were any,
must develop in subsequent legislation
by congress.
The evidence has shown that there
are abundant shipping facilities for
carrying coal to New England, that the
rates have advanced but little, but that
individual operators broke away from
the coal roads from which they had
been receiving IS per cent of the tide
water price at SIS and marketed their
own coal at the best price obtainable.
Today the, committee continued its
efforts to get from witnesses a salts
factory explanation of how it was pos
sible for these same independent oper-
ators who heretofore have cut an in
significant figure in the local market
to apparently control the market and
dictate the prices this winter.

MUNROE WILL TALK
WITH SHARKEY
Butte Miner Is Ready to Discuss Articles
for Fight.

CHICAGO, Jan. 27.-Tom Sharkey got
a rise out of Jack Munroe from Philadel-
phia yesterday, and the former sailor was
half tickled to death when he learned that
the Butte miner will be pleased to talk
business with him as soon as he reaches
New York. Tom expects to be back home
not later than Thursday and will then
az ange \ meeting with the big Western
man al t. to get him to sign articles.

about my being third class man and all
the rest of the mean things he has been

rounds, ten or twenty, or go him any other
distance that he wants. He impressed me
as being a fair sort of a fellow, but he
may look a little different when the Tom
Sharkey of old gets through with him.
Sharkey says he never felt better than
he does at the present time. He is ready
to go into active training at once. A
Philadelphia club as well as the one at
Fort Erie, wants the meeting between
Sharkey and the Western miner. The
latter it is said, Is tired already Of ap

DELEHANTY MAY
STILL BE A GIANT
Champion Slugger Not Badly
Wanted in Wash
ingt0n.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Delehanty
and Davis may be members of the
New York National league baseball
team after all. A Washington baseball
enthusiast who is connected with the
Washington club now in the city, says:
THE Washington club is not in po-
sition where it will be willing to pay
the $4,000 advance money that Dele
hanty received from the New York
club In the first place Delehanty, not.
withstanding his big reputation
throughout the country, was not pop
ular last year in Washington. He was
looked upon as somewhat of gold
brick, and there is not a unanimous
feeling among Washington fans THAI
Del is the whole thing. He is not con-
sidered of so much Importance, at any
rate. that ne is entitled to a bank pres
ident's salary.
ITO tell the truth Del queered him.
self in Washington and there would be
few tears shed if he went to other pas
lures. The Washington club directors.
I am sure, will not pay 'DePs back bills
to secure him.
Taking this into consideration with
the fact that Del does not want to
play in Washington, and does desire to
play in New York, the fallacy of fore
ing the player to do what he does not
want to is evident.
''Delehanty's work with Washington,
if made to go there and obliged to play
for almost nothing, would necessarily
be half-hearted at the best.
I look to see Delehany a giant the
coming season and am willing to bet
that he will he"

ehantys Manager Comiskey, of the
Chicago American league club, is
known to have no use~for any player
no matter how good he may be, who
is not with him heart and soul. He will
not stand for a 'sulker."
Now Davis, if he had to pay back
$4,000 to the New York club from his
next seasons salary, would not have
much more than cigarette money COM
ing to him, and that would hardly leave
a margin for long shots with the "po-

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Jan. 27.-President
Garry Hermann, of the Cincinnati Ma
tional league club, today offered first choice
on any pitcher under contract to the Gin
cinnati team to Brooklyn. with the ex

names of some very likely youngsters
Mr.. Hermann says the Reds are well
supplied with slab men, and feels conf
dent more than one of the recruits will
show the major league caliber but as
Brooklyn is in need of pitchers, he gives
them the privilege of taking whonlsoever
they wish.
He is confident Kelly will be. able to
develop a good one or two from those
that remain to help out the four mention
ed.
The Boston American league team has
offered Mr.. Hermann 1000 for the re

proposition was submitted to Manager

not expected this deal will be consum-
mated. as Cincinnati is in need of good

CHANGES MANY FIGURES.
Chairman Gray Becomes Impatient
With This Witness.


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan 81
Considerable progress was made to-
day by the anthracite coal strike COM
mission. 1t is probable that the in
dependent operators will have conclud-
ed their cases by tomorrow. The
Reading company will follow and will
occupy the attention of the commits
sion during the remainder of the week.
The testimony presented today was
varied and interesting, an important
witness being Albert c. Leisenring,
superintendent of the Upper Lehigh
Coal company. Mr.. Leisenring said he
believed the meeting of employer and
employe to be beneficial to both par
ties, and when asked if he preferred to
allow his mine to fill with water rather
than grant his men an eight hour
working day, he said he would rather
not.
Another witness who aroused the in
terest of the commissioners was H.
K. Christ, a coal breaker builder, who
said he was refused permission" by
the district officers Of the United Mine
Workers TO build two breakers While
the strike was in progress.
2. Edward Ross, a professional ac-
countant, who was called to testify
concerning the wages paid by the G.
b. Markle company, was compelled to
change many Of the figures that ap-
peared in the company's answer to the
miners demands recently published. In
every case the amounts were higher
than the men had received, the figures
ranging from 10 cents to $40. Chairman
Gray became impatient with the wit
ness and expressed his displeasure in
pointed terms.
A spirited interchange occurred be-
tween Attorney Mccarthy, for the min
eEs, and Willard Young, who had acted
as special coal and iron policeman
during the recent strike. Mr.. Youna
insisted that reign of terror existed
in the Lehigh regions, but under cross
examination several times contradicted
himself regarding the nature of the
disturbances. He charged the lawyer
with having himself almost precIpitat-
ed a riot, but later admitted that the
only information he had on the sub
ject was hearsay. Contrary to Mr.
Young's testimony was that of Arfot
Platt, who said a reign of terror did
not exist but declined to commit him
self as to the advisability of ordering
out the troops.
