Capital Stock Reduced.
At recent meeting OF shareholders
II was decided to reduce the capital
stock Of the corporation from 5000 0oO
to sl,500,000. the present number Of
shares being 10000. In the redur-
ton, shareholders turned into the
treasury 100000 worth OF their per-
sonal stock. and It now contains seven
sixteenth Of the entire capitalization.
When the company was formed orig
inally. It was planned to take over
three properties, but the development
Of the Continental Alta has proved
to be valuable asset, large enough
for the company to handle alone. Tho
discovery OF the presence OF wolfamits
In the Continental Alta ores presents a
most interesting feature OF the enter
prise. The ore exists in large quantity
and the company will derive a great
deal of revenue from this by-product IN
the future.

Why Some Advanced,
The advance in the case Of the Con-

the company resumed dividends In the
second quarter OF the year. Grand Gem
tral has remained steady, while the div
idends have not been regular. The de-
cline In Daly and ontario is due TO
the unfortunate disaster IN the ontario

Now Listed Stocks Active.

From the records made on our local
exchange II must not be taken FOR
granted that the mining stock business
has been entirely neglected. AS have
intlmated, there has been probably
more money invested In the stocks
which are not listed than has been IN
vested in the stocks which are listed.
The outlook for the coming year Is most
encouraging. certainly Utah's minfs
have never done better than they have
been doing this year, and we may LOOK
forward with confidence that the var
1906 will surpass any previous year IN
the history of mining IN this state.

Of Mr. James A. Shorten, the genial
secretary OF the exchange. for the iig-

New York, Aug. 1l.-Elihu Root,
who recently entered President Roose-
velt's cabinet as secretary of state,
has severed all connections with a
number Of financial institutions Of
has resigned from the boards of the
Morton Trust company, the National
Bank Of Commerce, the Continental
Fire Insurance company, the Title
Guaranty & Trust company and several
other corporations.
This action was taken by Mr.. Root
in order that he might assume the Sec
retaryship of state without being in
any way allied with corporate inter-
ests.
In conversation with his associates
he expressed the opinion that it was
better for him to be free of his for
mer connection with these institutions
as a director, and for this reason he
had resi- gned from them all. +
Mr.. Root has been director of some
Of these institutions for number of
years, including the period when he
was secretary of war. Some curiosi-
ty was expressed to know why he con-
sidered his acceptance Of the position
Of secretary of state incompatible with
his retaining his directorships, altho he
AOtc1AAOu GIO14 u pOu UcCOulug secretary
Of war. Inquiry among his former fell
low directors failed to reveal Mr..
Roots reason for differentiating be-
tween the two positions in the cabinet
so far as they affected his personal re-
lations with the corporations from
which he has resigned.
To his fellow directors Mr.. Root ex-
pressed his opinion in regard to the
course which he ought to pursue, but
gave no reasons.
Some Of the positions from which
Mr.. Root has retired are still vacant.
In the case Of the Continental Fire
Insurance company, Daniel G.. Reid has
been chosen in his stead, but no one
has yet been chosen to take his place
on the directorate of the Bank of Com
merce or the Guaranty & Trust com

Washington. Aug. IL: Arbitration

from the federal treasury, is a posi-
blity in the strike of the telegraphers
on the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific roads. provided either party to
the controversy calls upon the proper
official.
The fact that congress has made pro-
vision for arbitrat1ng differences be-

and their employees seems to have been
lost sight of in this strike, altho the
law has been on the statute book since

commerce act.
In a specific manner the act also rec
ognlzes labor unions, as it speaks Of
labor organization and authorizes such
as are concerned in any particular con-
troversy to name arbitrators.
That portion of the act relating to In
vest1gation Of government officials and
to arbitration provides that when con-
troversy arises between carriers and
their employees over wages, hours of
labor or conditions Of employment, the
chairman Of the interstate commerce
commission and commissioner Of labor
shall, upon request of either party to
the controversy, put themselves in COM
munication with the parties and en-
deavor by mediation and conciliat ton

tion and Cancellation are possible, the
officials named are directed to endeavor
to bring about an arbitration Of the

the United States consul in Paris has
been assisting in the search.
After it. became definitely known In
Los Angeles that Miss MacGown was

he had been engaged to marry her and
that he loved her desperately. Later
he took sick, some say because Of wor-

At the embassies and among the Of.

impossible of acceptance if they consti-
tute the Japanese ultimatum, but gem
orally they are regarded merely as a
basis on which to negotiate further.
It was argued at the embassies and
in. other quarters that a settlement
might still be possible if certain fea-
lures, such as the REIMBURSEMENT of the
interned warships and the limitation OF
Russian naval power in the far east,
were open to possible modification, and
that consequently the chances Of reach
