ORE FOUND ON

Blanket Vein Said to Have Been

Is BIG THING FOR KENDALL
Locks as Though Another Big Divi-

to the List.

A strike was made at Kendall dur
ing the past few days that will go far
toward making good John A. brakes
prediction that Kendall will, within a
comparatively short time, be one of
the greatest gold camps on earth. Ore
has been found on what is known as
the townsite property, owned by the
Cyanide Gold Mining company, the
control of which was purchased only
a short time ago by the newly Or
ganized Chicago Exploration compay,
the price being something over $780,

is the Blanket Vein.
Everything indicates that this lat
est discovery is the blanket vein-the
same vein that has made the Kendall
and the Barnes-King big dividend pay
ers, and from all that can be learned,
it will simply be a matter OF open
ing up the ground, blocking out the
ore and getting mill in operation
to make the townsite property pay
its owners handsome profits. The Chi.
cago Exploration company is capital
lied at million and half, and the
directors are Henry M. Rae, of Gilt
Edge; A. L. Ried, w. D. Hyne and
A. S. Wright, of Chicago, and N. j.

spirits in the Cyanide company are

of whom realize good money on the

DEFENDS BEEF TRUST.
Attorney For Packers Submits Arguments
In the Supreme Court.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Argument
in the case of Swift Il Co. against the
United States, known as the beef trust
conspiracy case, was begun before the
supreme court of the United States to-
day by Attorney John S. Miller of
Chicago, in behalf of the packers. He
attacked the bill of the government as
insufficient in its failure to allege
facts necessary to constitute a cause
of action, and said that the ch harges
were not facts, but conclusions of law;
that the commerce charged was not in.
terstate or foreign commerce, and that
even if it we're interstate commerce,
the facts given constituted no viola
ton of law. He contended that the
case presented an interference in busi-
ness such as never before had been
undertaken, The charges, he said, &,
were of the most general character
and did not specify time and place.
He did not believe, therefore, that the
charges could stand at all, and he
quoted the indictments in the whisky
case to show that charges much more
specific than were here made had been
regarded as insufficient.
Mr.. Miller said that If the packing
industry could be interfered with, as
proposed in this case, the manufactur.
ing industries could be similarly regu-
lated, "and thus you will fnd," he
added, "the federal courts regulating
considerable part of the commerce
OF the country
He contended that there was no in
trrstute commerce involved, because
the business of the packers, including
the purchase of cattle aud the sale Oi
meat, was confined entirely to Chica.
go. Explaining the economic situa.
tion, MIR. Miller said the demand for
fresh meat was fairly uniform and,
owing to the necessity for maintain.
ing proper supply of an acceptable
article, he said, there should be some
understanding among the packers.
This was, he said, perfectly legiti.
mate, and the government itself nigh,
properly assume this supervision.
The cattle demand was not so regular
as the supply, and to this fact Mr..
Miller attributed the fluctuations In
prices.

No Liquor In Irrigation Districts.

RENO, New, Jan. 6.--Members OF
the general assembly of this state
have received word from the interior
department at Washington that New.
ada will be expected to take steps at
the next session of the legislature to
stop the sale of liquor along the line
of the irrigation canals that are being
constructed in connection with the rec
lam alton work.
The department insists that the var.
ious states enjoying the benefits of the
reclamation act must give heed to the
suggestion as the presence of liquor
resorts along the line of the canals has
resulted IN many acts of crime and
seriously interfered with the prosecu.
,iOn of the work.

Discussing Important Legislation.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-President
Roosevelt has invited a number of re.
publican senators and represent atives
to Il conference at the White House
tomorrow afternoon. 1t Is understood
that the object is to consider the con-
dition of the treasury, the situation as
to appropriations and the necessity
for revenue legislation. An effort
will be made at the conference to har-
mOniZe differences which have arisen
among the republicans as to the na.
ture of the leyi alton to be enacted at
the present session, aud to secure If
possible unaulnity of action regard
ing legislative action in the future. 1t
is indicated that the conference may
take a wide scope.
1t is suggested that legislation re-
garding the proposed increase of the
powers of the Interstate Commerce
commission, the tariff and the federal
incorporation of compahies doing an
Interstate business will be considered.
IL is known that the president is in.
teres,ed in the subject of tariff to such
an extent that he would call an extra
ordinary session of congress for its
consideration, but it is said to be
quite improba bic that a session earlier
than next fall will be called: and it is
not certain that one will be called for
that time. The president desires, how.
ever, tha. affirmative action be taken
by congress, both as to the tariff aud
as to the increase of the powers of the
Interstate Commerce commission, and
he hopes this action may be taken at
reasonably early date. Members of
congress who are frequent callers at
the White HOnse have indicated that
no action Is likely to take place be-
fore next fall.

In New Organization.

DENVER, an. 9.-The city tonight

4Oth annual meeting, which was held
In the Tabor Grand opera house.
The woolgrowers' association meet.
ing was called to order by Senator F..
E. Warren, of Wyoming, who is pres-
ident of the association. After the
annual report Of the officers had been
read, a committee OF seven was ap-
pointed to consider the proposed re.
organization of the National Live.
stock association, with instructions to
growers association at as early q
date as possible.
There Is a sharp division between
the cattlemen as to the advisability of
allowing railroads and packers to
have representation in the governing
body of the association If the new
plan of organization is carried
through. President Frank j. Hagen.
barth, of the Livestock association, is
strongly in favor of admitting them,
and he has numerous following.
Many western stockmen, while not op-
posing the proposed reorg rganization,
are against allowing either railroa oads
or packers to have anything to say
about the affairs of livestock men.
They contend that the railroa ads. work.
ing in conjunction with the packers,
have compelled them to sell their cat.
tie at the lowest possible prices aud
they object to an alliance with either
of them.

No Prospect vi Peace.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Japan does
not propose to make peace Overtures
to Ras9ia, and now that Port Arthur
b as fallen, purposes TO press the war
by reinforcing the japanese army at
Lao Yang with the greater part of
the troops which have been besieging
Port Arthur. This, in brief, repre-
sents the views of Mr.. Takahira, the
japanese minister.
''The fall of Port Arthur" said the
minister, sis a step in the war which
Japan is waging for principle. Is is
an impor, ant step. but nothing could
be further from the truth than the as
sumption tha, because Japan has cap
tured a stronghold, the fall ofwhich has
long been expected, the Japanese gov
crnment will now make overtures for
peace. Japan is too busy fighting.
We are as much in earnest today as
we We're at the outset of the war. We
have made no overture. for peace.
either directly or Indirectly. nor have
the powers given US any idea of the
lulevventlOu.'
Al the Russ ian embassy it was re.
iterated that Russia would fight all
the harder in view OF the temporary
loss of Port Arthur. Europe, it is
learned, is firmly of the conviction
that, however dark the outlook tor
peace at this moment, when the pros.
pect brigh,ens, it is to President
Roo that the neu,ral-, as we'll as
the helligerents, will look a, the in.
