Victims of New York Central Wreck


NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-The body of
Mrs Newman Erb, wife Of Vice Presi-
dent Erb of the Pere Marquette rail
road, who was fatally injured in the
wreck of the New York Central rail
road near Lyons, was brought here on
a special train and taken to the fami'
ly residence Mr.. Erb, who also was
injured in the wreck, was brought here
on the same train. His condition is not
serious, but his physician said that a
small broken bone in one of his legs
would contine him to his bed for some
time, 1t is thought that the other in
juries sustained by Mr.. Erb in the
crash were merely superficial and that
he will soon recover from their effects.

FROM THE MINES.
MUCH MINING BEING DONE.

MUCH MIN lN1 DEiN1 OONE.
CRYSTAL Falls might be worse off In
the mining line than it is. All OF the
men who desire to work in the mines
can find employment. the woods work
takisg up all of the surplus that has
been floating about. In the vicinity
Of this city there are four mines work
ing the Bristol, Mansfield, Dunn and
Tobin. The Crystal Falls. Tobin and
Bristol are working harder than ever.
The Mansfield is working with
greatly reduced force and the Dunn is
sinking shaft only.
The Tobin and Crystal Falls are pro-
perties of the Corrigan- Mckinney com
pany and contain a grade of ore that
finds ready sale on the market.
The Tobin was the only mine in the
district that cleaned up its stockpile
last season The Bristol had bot little
ore left but the Crystal Falls had half
of it's last winters output left over
while the Mansfield shipped hardly any
of its stocked ORE
The Mansfield is not being worked
hard, and has not been 80 worked for
nearly two years owing to the necessity
Of sinking the big hanging wall shaft
the finishing touches of which are now
being put upon the last lift of it,
When this shaft is completed there
will be quite a bit of work left in
getting up shaft house and putting
in the necessary SKIP roads etc. 1t is
Likely that the summer will be consum-
cd with this work, it being very
doubtful if the property Will be work
ed to it's full capacity with the iron
market in it's present condition.
The Bristol made a phenomenal re.
cord last year and from present ap'
pearances will duplicate it this year.
The Tobin, it is understood has It'll
output taken care of as has also the
Crystal Falls 80 that their continue
activity on large scale may be looked
for.
The work at the Dunn is confined
to shaft sinking and just what turn
affairs viii take there.

II is rumored here that the mining
leases of the Longyear and Pearce
mines are to be surrendered to the fee
owners-the Pillsburys and others Of
Minneapolis and st. Paul. The leases
were held by the Drake Barlow Sell
wood interests and the mines are in
the group known az, the "Sellwood
string in the Hibbipg district. The
properties were opfoed in 1902 and
were actively wrought up to the first
of October of last year The Longyear
mine IL located less than one mile east
Of town and is a property containing
an ore body Of considerable size, and
made shipment last year Of go. 600
tons. The property is equipped with a
splendid plant of mining machinery.
The Pearce. which is situated about
four miles north of town. is a smaller
property, and made an output last sea-
son amounting to 81 900 tons. The
Drake Barlow -Sellwood people hold
Ioaees Of five other iron mines in the
district but il is said 20 be the in
tention to retain them and resume
operations rs soon as certain arrange
ment, now going, can bo completed.
The cause for surrendering the Long
year and pearce leases Is not made

PERNIoIous mEAsuRE I'D.

ONE OF THE MOST Thoroughly un-
- deserving measures Introduces in
The house during the closing DAYS Of
the session was defeated through the
activity of John sharp Williams. leader
of the Democratic minority. backed by
all the Democrats of the house. The
measure WAS iu the form of a resolu-
ton introduced by Representative
Grosvenor As coming from The commit
tee ON rules. lit read.
Resolved. That for the remainder Of
this session, and for three days after
the Close thereof. general leave to print
I'm the Record shall be and hereby is
given to an members Of the house"
Mr. Williams protested against the
passage Of the resolution. He declared
it TO be an unwarrantabIe and un-
worthy use of government funds for
the distribution of campaign literature.
and that IT. constituted a deliberate
Justification OF the record. This last
because under general leave to print
speeches would be printed in the Rec
ord that were never delivered in the
house. speeches attributed to men who
never made them, and who. in some
cases, never saw them until they were
in print
Both of the great political parties are
TO blame for abuses of the leave to
print privilege, but i'm late years it
has grown to be a tremendous evil. The
Congressional Record. instead of being
all that it should be. is now much that
it should not be- The Record was i'm
tended TO be a report of the actual
proceedings of congress. In the early
days of the nation only what was ac-
tuaiiy said and done on the floor in
open session found its way into the
printed proceedings.
Some reformers believe that members
should not even be granted leave TO
amend their remarks. This is a privi-
lege which has also been greatly
abused. Intended originally to AFFORD
members an opportunity to correct
their English, Sc is construed now as
leave to add TO or take from their
speeches whatever they please.
Speeches have been delivered on the
floor that were entirely different from
the speeches that have appeared later
I'm the Record. This is altogether wrong.
The Congressional Record should be
what its name indicates or it should
