As outlined at the present time, the
Tacoma Eas tern will build eastward
from the present terminal, Al miles
southeast of Tacoma, through the
Cispus pass in the Cascade mountains
into eastern Washington. Cispus pass
is a little less than 1000 feet high
and about the same as the Northern
Pacific pass through the mountains.

President Earring of the Milwau-
kee, for that road, owns a short strip
of railroad from Blackfoot to Salmon
in Idaho. This road is now used by
the Oregon Short Line, but will be
utilized by the Milwaukee in its west
ward course. The road as planned
will require the building of 1900 miles
Of line, costing about $35,0oo.ooo.
Twenty-Five million dollars of this
has been secured by bonds above re-
ferred to and the earning capacity Of
the road is about SIC, 1000, 600 per year.

SEATTLE, WASH, July s.-The
Rockefeller and Hartman interests
are preparing to invade the territory
Of the Morgan and Hill combine and
give them a taste of competition in
the territory in which they have al
ways had a monopoly. Since the dis
solution of the Northern Securities
company the Hartman interests have
been preparing for an invasion of the
territory occupied by Mr.. Hill and,
II Hartman can not get control Of
the Northern Pacific railroad. he will
extend the Union and Southern Pacific
to Seattle.
On October 4. 1909. the stockhold-
ers of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul railroad voted an increase in
the stock of the company by S25,0oo,-
oO0, but no reason was given for this
ed that the road was to be built to
the coast. Those watching the rail-
road horizon have been watching for
some move on the part of the Mil
waukee to indicate where II intends
to spend its $4,000. 900. but nothing
has appeared until agents of the road
began to buy tide lands in Seattle and
Tacoma.
The Chicago. Milwaukee & ST. Paul
road now reaches as far west as
Evarts and Chamberlain. s. ID. The
project as now outlined is to build
the road from Evarts westward to
meet the Tacoma Eastern, which has
been acquired by the Rockefeller In
terests. and thus give the oil and
railroad magnate open competition
with the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern, which are Morgan and Hill
roads.
Rockefeller owns a controlling in
terest In the roads operated under the
Hartman combination. He has sue
ceeded In getting a monopoly of the
western field south of the Columbia
river. but has left the northwest open
to the monopoly of the Morgan-Hill
railroads. His pet road is the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul and Il is
this road that he desires to build
to the coast. The Standard OH COM
pany has an immense acreage OF oil
lands in Alaska. Development on this
property has been delayed until some
plan can he carried out by which
Rockefeller can ship his oil over his
own road.

This is extremely distasteful to him
in as much as he has always en-
joyed a monopoly of everything into

he has decided to build the Chicago,

STRIKE AT ALAMOGORDo.
Shoprnen and Clerks of the E. ?. N. E. Walk Out Because of the Discharce of the Timekeeper.

AlamogorGo, N. M, Feb. 1S.-As a result of trouble between the master mechanics office and the shopmen at this point, all the men in the shops and the clerks in the general office have walked out on a strike
 The trouble seems to be due 10 the fact that when r. B. Barnes accepted the position of superintendent of the mechanical department under Mana ger Martin he appointed c. W. Parker 10 the position of chief clerk of the office, to succeed B. C. Thomas, who had been chief clerk ever since the force was organized, and who was well liked by the men. Mir. Thomas was made time-keeper
 This. however, did not satisfy the men, and when MT Thomas was no.i- fed a few days ago that his services were not desired. even as time keeper. after the first of the month, the clerks. machinists. boilermakers and carpen- ters took the. matter up and asked to have the decision reconsidered. which bdi lGiuStI 10 OO.
 As a consequence. the men walked out on a strike. This strike incluces all employees of the company at this point belonging 10 the different unions mentioned. and consequently every thing here is at a standstill. The strike affects about 300 men.
 and they held a meeting in the K. F. hall and considered the matter of continuing the strike They claim 1 they will not go back to work until Mir. Thomas is put back into his old position, as they say he was 6is- charged simply to give a fayorite a po- sition.
 The men have asked President c. B. Eddy to come up from Fl Paso and settle the matter. and they have hopes that when Mir. Eddy, in whom they have the greatest confidence. arrives he will settle the matter to their satis I faction. General Manager Martin has been called up from Fl Paso and has arrived here
 It is rumored here that if necessary the trainmen will go out with the other orders. So far, however, it has moi been thought necessary to call on the B. of L. F. B. of L. E.. o. R. c. or B. of B. T., and it is hoped that the mat ter can be settled without their assist ance
 Since the strike the through engines have been unable to change engines al this point, and the engines from Car izozo and Fl Paso had to be TUT through.

Their Reward
 COMMENSURATE With Their Labor
GOOD BREAST OF ORE IN WHITE
 TAIL DEER WORKINGS.
Birdno Bros. G Boggs Are Working the Lease, Granted Them by Copper Queen, and are Repairing Deserved Reward fer Their Hard Labor Dur ing Past Seven Months.

Reward. commensurate with hard labor performed. still continues to be bestowed upon the Birdno brothers and their co-partner. Boggs. who have been working the White Tail Deer claims for the past seven months. A visit to the workings yesterday dis closed to The Review representative the fact that the cross-cut. being run in the direction of the Broken Prom ise claim of the Wolverine & Arizona company. is still in fine body of ore, if anything. of larger size than it was few weeks ago
 On Thursday the four miners work ing the lease shipped a car load of high-grade mineral 10 the Copper Queen smelters and another car load is now on the dump ready for sf D. nent Altogether the amount of or. thus far taken out of the cross cu. will average close to thirty per cen ore.
 CTS & Boggs will take out of the White Tail Deer workings is a matter .o be determined by their future work but while they had expected that tle present ore body would extend but short distance. at the time they G"st uncovered Il, the depcsit now gives the appearance of heinz of ' ary considerable size. The breast of the cross-cut contains ore f. by 1t. in dimensions, and but little time is re- quirec to assort the mineral for ship ment to the smelter as nearly ali be ing taken cut of tho workings is high grade
 Should this deposit continue and in crease in size it will mean much for the w. & A people as their property and the White Tail Deer claims ad- join each other. while the workings on the latter are now very close 70 the boundary line. It can be said that the find locks quite permanent.

ADVICE OF "CRiTiC."
Says Gambling Feature Should Be
 Eliminated in Stock Deals.


 Critic" writing in the Mining h. fves:or has the following to say and the essence of the brief article is worthy of careful thought:
 Mining is a business pure and simple. and if investors would only consider it so and eliminate the gambling feature there would be many less losses made in what are gener- ally termed mining investments" and the losses would not average any more than those encountered in any line Of business. The men who are following mining from a business sfancpcint are making money. By fol lowing it upon business lines their risk of loss is no greater than it would be in any other commercial i undertaking, but their opportunity for profit is many, many times increased. Coiorado covers an enormous area. it IS twice the size of England, and with m its ooTcers are mining territories containing minerals of incalculable 1 value. There is a vast field for in vestment and field from which one can pick and choose. There is no need to make an injudicious invest ment where so much is offered that is ! good and it is by careful selection that the mining or business risk is re- duced to the minimum and the great est opportunity for success and profit taken advantage of. There is no | competition in the gold market Pro l Grce all you can and it is worth
 s2.67 per ounce. The riches that are | gained are earned from mother
 earth, the fountain of wealth, and not from your neighbor's pocket. By Care

Sinking. drifting and drilling will be going along simultaneously at the Wolverine & Arizona mine commenc- ing today and DO development proper ~ in the Warren district will from now cn present an appearance or greater activity. Sinking in the shaft which was suspended some time ago on account of inadequate facilities for producing motive power, will again be started this morning. The addi- tional L50-horse power boiler is now in commission and as a consequence The quantity of steam being furnished for the operation of machinery at the mine is more than sufficient to keep the wheels constantly in motion.
 Preparatory to the commencement of sinking the main shaft was cleared of water and other accumulation dur ing the several days suspension of work and by last evening the mine was put in the best of condition for most energetic work Three shifts Of miners will be employed at sinking in the shaft. which the company in tends carrying down about 1000 or HOO feet
 In the drift at the 500-foot level progress continues unabated and the miners are now in a distance of about 120 feet toward the center of the bluff. The formation continues in lime and Iedgematter and is encouraging to say the least When greater dis tance in this working of the mine has been attained mineral deposits may be looked for as the prospects that ore bodies will be opened up are bright.
 record is being made with the orlll machine which was placed in commission a few days ago. Since the work of boreing toward the White Tail Deer claim was commenced with tbe machine a distance of about 90 Ice; has been gone through each twenty hours. The formation is of hme and Is of such a character as does not i1 the least interfere with the operation or progress cf the drill. Twenty days from this date win tell whether Wolverine people may expect To find ore bodies in the direction of the White Tail Deer claims and iu- side Of that time we predict that there will be every occasion for an advance in the price of shares result Ing from explorations being made with the drill.

Neal Rogers, who has been in Bis and with the hope of consummating deal whereby the mining lanes Of the Cochise Copper Mining company would become the property of New York and Pennsylvania capitalists. left yesterday morning for the east without having fully accomplished the task. However, there is every req son for believing that he will succeed as all that is required 10 bring the deal to a close is the acquisition of about seven per cent of the stock of the company.
 Before leaving the city MT. Roger succeeded in gaining possession Of ninety-three per cent of the stock the remaining seven per cent is in tine hands of parties whose resic fences are in various parts of the country. so the transaction of business between the eastern capitalists and these stock holders could be performed as expedi ently and as satisfactorily from the New York office as here. This was Mir Rogers reason for eaving Bisbet and before taking his departure ex pressed himself as being entirely con fdent of finally succeeding in making the purchase referred to.
 As soon as he arrives in the cas- MT Rogers will confer with the gentle men for whom he is acting as agent and more will be known about the deal. as well as large number intes ested in mining in this district. are hopeful that the eastern men will ac quire the caims of the Cochise com pany as through these parties the question of whether or not mineral de posits may be found on the east side of the contact of porphyry and lime will be forever determined.

The following warning, contained in a letter received on Thursday by A. W. Clifford. secretary of the Interna- ;;onal Miners association. Fl Paso. from Robinson. agent of the Steeple Rock Development company. Grant county. New Mexico, is given publica- ton with the hope that it will save mining men about Cananea or any oth- CT part of Sonora or Arizona. where the said Stewart is likely to be. from the cktches of this expert swindler The letter is taken from the Fl Paso Times of Thursday and reads as fol- lows:
 There is a matter that it seems to ne the International ought 10 take up. I refer to the case of one U. Hamilton Stewart mining and consulting engin- ger, member Institute of Mining En- gineers." quote from his card. You will notice he does not say what insti- tute-simply institute" He has been in Silver City for some months. Possibly you have met him. No doubt you have heard of him. The Silver City papers were constantly referring 10 him as the eminent" mining engin ger. He spent several months at getting up a reputation (strange how easily people take man at his own estimate). and then made his coup. He ran a race through Albuquerque. Deming, Lordsburg, Duncan and Steeple Rock, from which latter point he described a loop somewhat like the famous S.chiey loop at Santiago. land ing himself in Lorisburg and in time to catch the rear end of a weStbound train, avoiding all acquaintances in LOrdsburg. Like Schley's ship. he left a foaming and white wake behind him composed in this case of fTaudu- lent checks.
 He is now so far as I can get trace of him. in Cananea. under the name of Wells. As a supposed min ing engineer, and also as supposedly a gentleman, I showed him when in this place (where he came to examine some mines), a good deal Of hospital ity. The last thing he did was to borrow a barometer from me. He was coming back the next day to stay all night at my house. That is the last I have seen of MT. J. Hamilton Stewart. mining and consulting engineer and member of the institute of NJ E., or of my barometer. He showed himself 10 be not only a thief but a very low one, and is what is called and think properly applicable to him. a sneak thief. think the association ought to publish him in some way. Also the Miner and Manufacturer
 'I am responsible for all say and you may use my name if you wish. He ought to be stopped in his wild ca reer. I can furnish proof if necessa- ry. See Albuquerque papers. also Liberal of Lordsburg and Copper Era Of Clifton. Sheriff Parks of Graham county, Arizona. has a warrant for his arrest. A warrant has been issued by ne in the justices court and is in the hands of Sheriff Blair Of Grant coun- y, New Mexico. I suppose there are others in Albuquerque and elsewhere Will you call attention of Mines and Manufacturer to this, or had better dc it? If you say so I will write them this part of the letter"
