SENATE.


When the Senate met today Mr.. Till
man had read from the clerks desk n
letter from Governor Dawson, of West
Virginia, complimenting him for his
fight against railway monopoly in West
Virginia. The Governor declared that
the State was Sin the hands of grasp
ing railroad trust;" that the people were
helpless; that the Baltimore & Ohio was
great sinner, aud that the railway
trust decreed what part of the State
should be developed and what part
should not. The Governor expressed
the hope that an investigation would be
instituted
Mr.. Tilman announced that in case
the action of the House of Representa-
tives proved futile, he would take steps
to officially ascertain whether the Penn
sylvania, Baltimore i Ohio and Chesa-
peake & Ohio had combination in re-
straint of trade.
The Patterson resolution did not come
before the Senate today.
The House today, after receiving
report submitting the army appropria-
ton bill TO the House, and after tra"s-
acting some other business OF minor
character, took a vote on the Hepburn
railroad rate bill, the roIl-call beginning
at 1915.
The passage of the bill was announced
at 1910 by vote of $40 to Z.
Those who voted in the negative were
Mccall, Littlefeld, Weeks, Perkins,
Sibley, Vreeland and Southwick-alk
republicans.
Sullivan, democrat, of Massachusetts,
voted "present."
In speaking in the House today on
the pension bill Representative Wash
ington Gardner paid tribute to the

STOCK MARKET FEATURES
DULLNESS WAs CONTINUED FOL-
 LOWED BY BREAK.

Market Moved i'm Uncertain Fashion and Then Weakened--Little Rallying Power-Declines Were on Limited
 Transactions.
 The stock market was very dull ill the forenoon and is the afternoon the bears finding that stocks wouldn't go up, went to work to get them down and some success crowned their efforts.
 The general list displayed little rally ing power, and the movement of prices throughout was uncertain. In the late trading many issues that previously held firm, gave way with some note worthy losses. Amalgamated Copper, Union Pacific, Reading, St. Paul, Peo- ple's Gas, Anaconda, National Lead and some of the specialties were con- spicuously heavy at times.
 That the copper business is in excel- lent condition, and the consumption of the metal shows no falling off. Yet Copper stock ran off as easily as any, thing on the list when selling pressure developed.
 The report from Indianapolis that President Francis L. Robbins had been deposed as the leader of the mne oper- ators in the convention which is now in session there, was regarded as indi- cative of trouble. He was the stron- gest advocate of peace. Nevertheless many felt that there is still hope for a settlement There was increased ac- tivity yesterday, but the declines were on limited transactions.
 The monetary situation was regarded as slightly improved, but this was en- tirely without effect on the stock mar ket

 Wall street twas flooded with circu- lars this afternoon, sent out by the Boston operator who makes speciality of such literature alleging that the dividend on Amalgamated Copper would be reduced.
 Consolidated Gas was under pressure yesterday, but rallied on report that Mayor Mcclellan had postponed his ac- tion in the case.
 Leading interests did not appear to be buying securities in any quantity. Professional operators, on the other hand, were making efforts to shake out traders. The market, for the most part, was purely professional

 The break in United States Steel shares was popularly regarded as based on the reported Hull in, the iron trade, leading some persons to think that this important industry had culminated for the time being. One firm sold ten thousand shares of Steel common dur ing the morning, this being largely re- sponsble for the decline of more than a point.
 Inquiry yesterday as to the amount of Metropolitan Street Railway stock deposited under the traction merger plan brought out the fact that 4O,367,- 900 of the $52OOO,000 has been ex- changed, leaving $11, 533,0 900 outstand- ing.

TESTERDAY'S STOCK MARKET
Renewed Decline at Close Which Was
 Weak,

New York, March 19.-The sprinkling of liquidation which came upon the stock market to-day served to lift the trading out of the lifeless condition into which it had sunk last week. The growth in the volume of transactions, however, was slight, and the most in- pressive fact about the market was the easy way in which prices yielded under offerings that were comparatively in- significant in volume. No attempt was apparent to sustain prices at any stage of the selling, and professional opera tors interested in having the level of values maintained were led to the dis couraging conclusion that the market was without organized protection. There was no important development to explain the disposition to sell beyond the cumulative effect of the stagnant demand, which became more and more marked during the progress of last week.
 Monday mornings operations on the stock exchange are likely always to re- fleet a weekly readjustment of position on the part of the class of operators who conduct their efforts from station more remote from Dall street than the average commission house contingent. Orders from this class of customers swelled the list of selling operations to- day, and the resulting decline in prices seemed to aggravate the disposition it. self.
 News of general conditions continued highly encouraging and authorities in different trades protest with a degree of emphasis that prospects continue brilliant for sustained prosperity. But reports of this character do not entirely offset the fact of the lull in the demand for iron for future delivery pending the

YANKEE TO PAY
BIG DIVIDEND
Directors Decide to Pour $15,.

DATA ON CAMP OF RAMSEY
CONDITIONS MAKE 1T POSSIBLE
TO MINE LOW GRADE ORES.

Without any blowing of trumpcts the
directors of the staid old Yankee Consol-
idated Mining company got together Sat
urdey afternoon and decided to cut up
another nice chunk of bread money among
the shareholders. 1t was decided To pay
a dividend of &c a share, or $1,000, on
the first day of September to sharehold-
ers of record at the close of business
on the 18th of this month, the books to
remain closed against transfers of stock
from that date until the dividend is paid.
The company paid Sl2,5O0 or 212c q share

others will come during the year, as the
treasury Is in prime condition and the
mine III shape TO easily earn them.
1t had been hoped TO start up the new
power plant by Wednesday, but Manager
l.. A. Amsden states that a bobble IN

boilers from Pittsburg. but when they

scHWAB's eULLFRoe MINES.
Manager Of Property Tells What Is
Doing at the Bonanza.

Bryce Turner, formerly superintendent
OF the Tonopah Mining company, and we'll
known here. but who is now manager for
the Montgomery ShOshone Consolidated
Mining company, in the Bullfrog district,
spent few days in Tonopah this week,
says the TOnopah Bonanza.
He says that conditions at the camp are
fine, Superfine, superb. The mining COM
panies are all blocking out ore and do
ing development work while awaiting the
arrival of the railroad which is now with
In eighteen miles of the Bullfrog district,
although the grading has already been
completed to Beatty and the graders are
now working between the towns of Beat
ty and Rhyolite. Several of the mining
companies in the Bullfrog district are
contemplating putting up mills for the
treatment of low grade ores, while the
high grade will be shipped TO the smelter.
Mr.. Turner says that IT has been def
nitely settled beyond a doubt, that 100
stamp mill will be erected on the Mont
gOmery ShOShOne and that the site Sc
lected for it will be between the shaft of
the POlaris and the Shoshone. This mill
VIII be built in such a manner that ad-
ditional stamps may be added as exigen-
cies demand. Water is plentiful in the
district for ali milling purposes and crude
oil will be used for generating steam for
power. 1t is possible that a cyanide plant
will also be installed. A compressor for
operating drills will also be put in.
Recent experiments made with the ore
of this mine in Denver have, 1t is under
stood, been successful, though the re-
ports thereon have not yet been received.
At present force of fifty men are en-
plOyd and the work of development is
forging ahead as rapidly as possible. The
results of this work have already shown
that there is ore enough in sight to keep
a mill of the intended capacity running
for years. The main tunnel, which is in
about $50 feet, has cut through several
lodges which carry very high values and
in the tale ledge, which is between sixty
and seventy feet wide, values have run on
an average as high as 500 to the ton.
There is still a series of lodges existing
values.
The latest development OF importance
and which gives promise of something big
is the strike in the Bullfrog Pilot. A
vein twenty-eight feet in width was cut
by the tunnel which had been run to find
this ledge. The latter had been prospect
ed on the surface to depth of siXty-five
feet, and showed good milling values for
the entire distance. Where the vein was
cut by the tunnel values have been taken
from $50 to nearly $500 a ton. This strike
is also of value to Steinway which adj
joins the Pilot on the southeast, for the
vein has been I raced into Steinway
ground, and the 200-fOOt level Of the lat
ter is expected to cut it with very little
more work.
1t is said that quite a number of the
mines in this locality are discussing the
advisability of installing electric power
hut nothing definite on that score has as
yet been arrived at.

GREAT LEDGE OF COPPER.
Finley Hill, at Encampment, Wyo.
Contains Fine Ores.

Encampment. Wyo., Aug. Zone of the
most important prospecting efforts, as far
as results are concerned, has just been
finished by the Manhattan Consolidated
company, and it again brings Finley hill
into prominence as one of the best pros
poets in the district.
A copper-bearing ledge has been traced
for over 1900 feet and sixteen openings
have been made eleven of which show
ore running all the way from to 30 per
cent copper. The openings are from four
to twelve feet deep and every one shows
the vein in place, averaging four to five
feet wide.
The best copper specimens ever found
on the hill have been taken from these
openings, and 1T is the first time that a
vein has been found there to hold its
course and continuity for any appreciable
distance. The vein formation is horn

BUTTE'S REIGN OF PEACE.
Forty New Companies Are Now Oper-
ating in the Camp.

dIln9 III the OdfHps
The general manager of one of Butte's
new producing copper mines is in Bos-
ton. He says:
The reign of peace in Butte is produc-
ing a degree of business activity and ag-
gressivenesS which has never before been
witnessed in the camp. Today there are
forty new companies digging vigorously
to uncover the copper riches which we all
believe underlie our great district. All
of the older companies are pushing ahead
more aggressively and more intelligently
than ever before and with highly crafty
ing results.
:'There is no animosity toward Mr..
HeinZe by reason of his having sold out
many of his properties TO the Butte Coali-
ton company. He is still the most pop
ular man in Butte today, and he seeks to
be a thorough master of whatever he
undertakes, be 1t in the line of business
or pleasure.
There are vast possibilities In connec-
ton with the Lexington property, which
he retained, and in time / expect to see it
one of the biggest mines in Butte.
Butte has taken very large interest
in the Davis-Daly proposition. largely be-
cause of Mr.. Heinze's Identification with
it. This company has producing mines to
the north, south, east and west of it,
and there is absolutely no question that
at depth the company will uncover some
of the largest and richest ore bodies on
the Butte mountain. 1t is a very attrac-
tive speculation at the price at which it
is selling.
"Of all the strictly new properties in
Butte the East Butte company possesses
such attractive features that l regard it
ahead of all the other properties selling
anywhere near its price. II is developing
its mine and sinking its three-compart-
ment shafts solely from the money de-
rived from the leasers, who are working
out the rich ore in the upper levels"

YOUNG MEN IN LINE.
More of Them In Responsible Min

tDtIINtI 4hIIIIIIS INTpUI ItI.T
We venture the statement that mora
young men are in positions of respo1si-
bility in mining today than ever before
and are filling them successfully In
earlier days of the industry when experl
fence and education were acquired at one
and the same time in the mines it would
lardly have been possible for q young
man of 80 TO control as extensive inter-
ests as are in the hands of some men OF
that age today.
We believe that the cause of technical
education is largely responsible for this
new condition. The school of mines has
made it possible to gain a groundwork
which makes the acquiring of practical
experience a simpler matter and quicker
of accomplishment Apparently the road
TO success leads through the technical
school,
