The Clara Belle,

Frank Hebert, president of the Clara
Belle Gold Mining company was in
Deadwood yesterday completing a deal
which will transfer the control of the
Clara Belle Mining company to a Cleve-
land party. 1t is understood that Mr..
Hebert received $4,000 in cash for l00,-
900 shares OF stock and that the control
Of the company which he owns was
placed in escrow in the First National
bank for a period Of two years The
consideration for the control is said to
be interest on 100000 for two years at
seven per cent at the end o: which time
Mr.. Hebert is to receive 100000.
The Clara Belle Mining company owns
property about four miles east of Hill
City, which has become remarkable on
account of the richness Of the ore. 1t is
a continuation of the old St. Elmo vein,
which has produced large amount Of
bullion in times past. The Clara Belle
is developed by shaft which has fol.
lowed the vein from the grass roots. A
small Tremain mill has been used to
treat the ore and remarkable returns
have been obtained. 1t is the intention
of the new company to build a modern
mill with cyanide annex, which will
treat the tailings. These tailings are
very rich, containing high per cent of
telluride.
Frank Hebert discovered this several
years ago and has had hard time to
develop it, but by perseverance he has
succeeded in developing the property to
the present state, making it one of the
best paying propositions in the southern
Hills. The money that he will derive
from his stock sale will be put back into
properties in that immediate vicinity SO
that the southern Black Hills will be
better off as result Of the sale The
st. Elmo mine is adjoining the property
of the Grantz Gold Mining company,
formerly the st. Elmo company, or the
St. Elmo property and this sale made by
Mr.. Hebert will greatly increase the
value of the Grantz holdings Otto p.
Tn. Grantz OF this city, is president of
the Grantz company and has expended
considerable money in an endeavor to
find the Hebert vein.-Pioneer-T Times,

EFFECT. ON STOCK MARKET
Big Shipper Declares Railroad Shares
Would Not Fall.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The senate
committee on interstate commerce to-
day continued it's hearing on the sub
ject of railroad rate legislation. James
j. Hooker, chairman Of the Receivers
and Shippers association Of Cincin-
natl, said that a reduction Of rates was
not required, but that Encouragement
was demanded. He favored a readjust-
ment OF rates to meet cases where GER
tain localities were Disseminated
against by giving to the interstate COM
MERGE commission full authority to
make such adjustments. The passage
Of the Esch-T Townsend bill was advo-
Gated by Mr.. Hooker.
: Chairman Elkins asked:. a"What
would you do if all your money was
tied up in railroad stock, if some other
man had ada tie power to fix the rates Of
"You are asking a hypothetical
question: said MI. Hooker.
"No, I am not. I know men who
own two-thirds Of the stock of a rail
road, half of the stock and one-fourth
Of the stock. If you were in the posi-
ton of these men, would you hold on to
the stock or would you sellq' asked
Senator Elkins.
"There would be no panic in the stock
as the result Of the passage of the bill, -
said Mr.. Hooker. "These men would
hold on to their stock and see how the
matter worked out. If unsatisfactory
they would depend upon further amend
ments or a repeal of the law.''

UPPER MISSISSIPPI
WELL CARED FOR
Representative Lind Sets at Rest
Doubts as to River and
Harbor Bill.
1y w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Jan. 31.-For some rea-
son not understood in Washington, the
idea has gained currency in Minnesota
that the river and harbor bill, as re.
ported by the committee, does not take
care of the up-river reservoirs. In
dispatch from this bureau in last
Wednesdays Journal, it was stated
that the appropriation for the reser-
voirs was $4,000. Representatives
Lind and Stevens, representing the twin
cities, have had good many letters
and kilograms from the state inquiring
about the matter, and in order to set
everybody right, Mr.. Lind today die
tated the following statement, covering
the questions asked in letters and tele-
grams:
Both Mr.. Stevens and myself are very
much surprised at the anxiety displayed at
home in connection with the appropria-
tons in the river and harbor bill. We
have obtained virtually all that we asked
for, 100000 for the upper Missippi.
$4,000 for improvements between the
twin cities, new appropriation for the
survey and charting Of Lake Minnetonka.
and a sum that we regard as fairly ade-
quate for maintaining the reservoir sys-
tenn. .4'
The notion that has gained currency
that two Of the reservoirs have been
abandoned has no foundation in fact.
No appropriation was made for the Pine
| river reservoir, but the department die
not deem one urgent. In the formulation
of this bill, the committee cut the appro.
prtation as much as possible without jeop.
ardizing improvements in progress, OF
work already established.

LIND SEES GOOD
in NEW RATE BILL
Minneapolis Congressman Says
Esch- Townsend Measure Is
s. Next to Hearst S.
BY w, W. Jermane.

Washington, Feb. lit will be inter-
esting for the northwest to have DIS
interested and intelligent democratic
view of the Townsend railroad
rate bill. Representative Lind OF Min
neapolis, asked to say something, about
the bill for the benefit OF journal read
ers, replied as follows:
I have given the bill only a cursory read,
ing, but it strikes me as a very decided
improvement on the Hepburn BILL Whlch
was vicious. It confers the alternating
power upon the interstate commerce COM
mission after complaint and hearing, IN
unequivocal language. It makes the rates
found, operative thirty days after promul-
cation. A review may be secured within
sixty days, but the rate established by the
commission prevails during the tendency
Of the proceedings ins court. 1t creates
a court Of transportation, which 1 deem
unnecessary, but inasmuch as this feature
Is likely to be included in any bill which
passes I am gratified to see that terms
Of this bill leave the selection or the Judges
to the president
The bill is not clear as to whether the
question of the reasonableness Of rate
established by the commission shall De
determined in the transportation court
upon the evidence adduced before the
commission, or upon trial de novo be-
fore the court. If the latter should be

will defeat the very purpose Of the legis-
lation. This defect, Of course, can readily
be remedied
It Is also deficient In emitting to place
private car lines, terminal roads and
other contrivances for discrimination un-
der the ban Of the law and subject to con-
troll and regulation by the commission. In
view Of the explicit language Of the presi-
:. dent in his speech at Philadelphia Mon
day night, it would seem that tho commit
lee may feel called upon to supplement
he bill in this respect,
Next to the Hearst bill. 1t IS decidedly
The best bill brought forward at this ses-
sion. The Hearst bill Is the only bill thai
covers the ground in terse, plain language
that cannot be misconstrued or evaded.
1t is understood that the house com
mittee on interstate and foreign com
MERGE will consider the bill at it's reg
ular meeting Friday, and report it back
to the house perhaps on Saturday, GER
tainly not later than Monday. On the
latter day it is the purpose Of the com
mittee on rules to submit rule fol
it's consideration, which will probably
limit debate to two days, and thai
would bring the bill up for vote or
final passage about next Wednesday
Having passed the house, it will go tt
the senate, where the chances are strong
that it will be buried.

intelligent classes of Russians are true
opponents Of the real desires and needs
of the people.
"The program which they submit to
the government is not the program of
the people. These elementary meas
ures which they demand of the govern
ment--such as freedom Of person, free
dom of speech and freedom of con-
science, ETC., tho essential conditions for
a life Of culture, do notatouch the prob
lem Of the oryins need of tho people,
which lies solely in the naturalization
and communism Of land.
"On this point neither the working
men nor the educated classes raise the
cry, nor do we hear any such cry from
the peoples of other lands, despite the
apparent freedom Of those countries. In
other countries there exists the so-called
independent press, but its independence
is only apparent.

St. Petersburg is a mass of conflict
