Special Correspondence Of The Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va. September II. 1908.
Mayor Pan Of Alexandria yesterday held
a conference with Commonwealth Attorney
Samuel e. Brent In reference to the best
method of putting stop to the alleged
gambling which is being conducted on the
Heath ark, anchored q short distance OF
Jones' Point, in the Potomac river, about
one mile below Alexandria.
At the conclusion Of the conference Mayor
Pan stated that there was absolutely no
difference Of opinion between himself and
the commonwealth attorney as to the juris-
diction Of Alexandria over that portion Of
force of Alexandria would do their duty in
the matter when called upon specifically by
Attorney Brent.
Mr. Brent stated yesterday that the -vir-
the Potomac owing to compact entered
into by the states OF Maryland and Vir-
ginia in 1870, in which authority was grant
ed the officials of each state to make ar
rests on the river in case of offense.
The compact further provided 1t was
pointed out, that when a Maryland citizen
was arrested in the Potomac. by the Vir-
ginia authorities he should be turned over
to the state of Maryland for trial, and if
Virginia citizen were arrested by the Mary
land officers he should be surrendered to
the Virginia authorities. In case the Of
fender is neither a resident Of Virginia nor
Maryland the compact provides that he shall
be tried by the courts of the Jurisdiction
into which he is brought
Mr.. Brent would not discuss his plans, but
stated that he would collect all the testi-
mony he could before taking any action in
the matter. He said that under the laws
Of Virginia q commonwealth attorney had
no authority to swear in deputies and con-
duct a raid, but must depend upon the po-
lice force Of the city to make the arrests. as
the law required all warrants for the arrest
Of persons charged with an onense to be d.
rected to a police officer.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

There Is a prospect OF the breaking out
In this city Of a rate war among the fire
insurance companies. At the present time
insurance rates are fixed In accordance
with rules adopted by the board Of fire
underwriters and the enforcement Of these
rates are looked after by the board. Now
It Is proposed to dissolve the board and II
that is done there will be no authority for
rates in this District except the judgment
OF the individual companies.
The reason why this question OF board
be due to the action Of the middle depart
ment, an organization composed OF the
agents OF various companies doing business
IN a territory comprised within a portion
OF the states of Pennsylvania. New Jersey,
Delaware and Maryland. This middle de-
partment makes the rates which the local
BOARD enforces and recently that authority
decided to reduce the rate on frame houses
in this District from 90 cents per hundred
dollars to 40 cents.
One result Of the announcement of this
change was the handing in to the board
Of the designations of two of the local
companies. namely the Firemen's and the
Metropolitan. Up to this time no action
nations. but there have been conferences on
the subject and good deal of discussion
as to the best course to pursue.
There are other members Of the board
the existence Of the board is regarded by
some as rather uncertain. There are not
lacking those who favor dissolution Of
the present organization and the coming
together of the agency companies and the
local companies in new Organization that
shall be Independent of the middle depart
ment and In fact be an entirely fndepend-
ent board.
The underlying difficulty now. as It has
been for some years past. comes from the
control OF much Of the profitable business
here by the local companies and the desire
to get that business on the part Of those
who do not have as great a share of 1t as
they would like.
The interest at the meeting Of the stock
exchange today lay mainly in what was
going to be done with gas stock. After
the placing on the market OF between 700
and 500 shares. as was done yesterday.
everybody wanted to know whether what
OF some account had been completed or
would be continued.
As soon as the stock was called today It
was quite evident that there was no more
stock for sale. at least from the same
source that 1t came from yesterday. for
was prompt today In starting the bidding
on the basis Of the closing asking price Of
yesterday. which was 81.
and the bid rose a point. where 1t stayed,
the asking price being half point In ad-
vance, 50 that the decline In the stock Of
yesterday OF nearly three points had re-
action today of point and quarter.
Ihe only thing done In the stock was the
shares at SO. Some shares Of the city
National Bank were traded in at an ad-
vance over the selling price of YESTERDAY
the highest point reached being 1861.

Mines and Mining.
GOLDFIELD. New. September 6. 1906.
Donald B. Gillies was asked to give in
formation on the mining sections under his
management. and his statement made about
the Tonopah Extension. McKane. Red Rock
and Golden Anchor mines may be consid-
cred ofl1cial. Tonopah. Goldfleld. Manhat-
tan and the entire southern Nevada section
In general, he says. is enjoying the greatest
prosperity.
When asked about the labor situation Mr..
Giaies said: while there was a disagree
ment between the miners union and the
mine operators it was speedily and salts
factorily adjusted. the only point Of differ
ence being one Of hours, and the operators
conceded the point. which gives to all labor
In and around the mines an eight-hour day.
An agreement to maintain the present scale
OF wages and hours was signed by both the
Miners Union and the mine operators Not
withstanding the fact that outside sources
have attempted to magnify this trouble for
personal gain. 1t did not have tine desired
effect. and the miners union and mine
operators are closer today than ever"
Every mine in Tonopah Is working full
force and the development Of the camp Is
progressing In a wonderful manner"
Mr.. Gillies stated that the Extension looks
very wen anu tnAt great zeal Oh develop
ment work Is being done in blocking out
ores, there being employed at the Extension
alone. 100 men.
OF the McKane Mining Company's prop
erty he said: -.
1.-THE property Of the McKane Mining Co.
lies west Of the Tonopah Extension and has
a greater area than that Of any other indi-
vidual company In Tonopah. The property
Is located in what is known as the Tonopah
Flat and until recently was supposed to be
without the mineraI-bearing district. This
shaft is double compartment and has been
sunk to depth of ]. 100 feet. making 1t the
deepest in the Tonopah district. The shaft
for its entire depth Is in what is called
later andesite, but On prosecuting the
earlier andesite. or lode porphyry, was en-
countered and the cross-cut for several
hundred feet Ia entirely in this material.
Wherever the lode porphyry: or earlier an
desite. has been found in the Tonopah dis
trict veins OF rich ore have always been
found in 1t. r'75'~'r :;
The Golden Anchor property Is being de-
veloped from the 6O0-foot level. Two veins
have been cross-cut In this property, one
north and the other south Of the shaft. Tho
main cross-cut Is being extended in a north
eriy direction and in the very finest kind Of
lode porphyry. Several Stringers Of ore
have been cut. but no drifting will be done
upon them until the cross-cut has reached
the northern boundary Of the Golden An
Choir property.

BULLS AND BEARS

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September lit was
claimed today by those who look for higher
prices generally that the stock market yes
terday would have been considerably more
active throughout the day except for the
rates for money. which were regarded as
abnormally high. On tho contrary, 1t was
pointed out that in view OF Saturdays
bank statement and the fact that yester-
day was the first day on which Secretary
Shaw's plan with respect to the ennpor-
tation Of gold was effective. lower
rates than those which prevailed could
not have been expected 1t was believed
that announcement would be made today
OF additional engagements OF gold, and that
within few days call money would rule
at about or per cent. II that proved to
be the fact. 1t was believed that tho stock
market would become considerably more
active and that further advances In the ac-
tive stocks would be recorded.
-
1t Is believed by railroad men that the
forthcoming annual report OF other large
western railroads will disclose the fact that
those corpora lions have been purchasers
OF Union Pacific stock. They believe that
the st. Paul report will show substantial
amount Of the stock bought by that COM
pany In spite. OF the persistent report that
control of st. Paul has been purchased for
the Union Pacific and Southern. Pacific.
Some railroad interests would not be sur
prfsed to see a fair-sized block Of Union
Pacific In the list of securities owned by
the Northern Pacific. It Is believed also
that before the present plans of the Union
Pacific are fully carried out the stockhold-
ers Of that company will be given the
right to subscribe to substantial amount
Of the. stock on favorable terms.
*
There is considerable discussion as to
what rate of dividend will be- declared by
the Atchison directors next month Sew.
eral weeks ago the Information came from
good sources that the most probable rate
would be semi-annual dividend Of IN
per cent and an extra Of u Of 1 per cent,
making virtual per cent basis 1t Is I'M
oerstood that In the meantime a marked
division OF opinion in the board has arisen
and that IN all probability the rate to be
declared will not be fully decided until after
1t has been discussed at the meeting Of the
full board next MONTH
Although 1t Is rumored that a majority of
the directors numerically is In favor of
only per cent. the street Is inclined to be-
lieve that the interests In favor Of @ per
cent will rule. 1t bases its opinion
largely upon the quotations that are being
recorded Tor the stock on the tape.

TALK ABOUT AN IRON DEAL
Five-Point Decline in Great Northern
Preferred.
U. S. STEEL WAS DOWN, TOO
Numerous Circumstances Combined to
- Account for the Irregular and
a.. e Reactionary Tendencies.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 11.-Several cir
'cumstances combined to account for the ir-
regular and generally reactionary tenden-
cies which were observed in todays stock
market. In the first place, no little uneasi-
ness was excited by the returns from the
Maine elections published In this mornings
papers and after the opening of business
there was much disappointment felt at the
absence OF any greater degree of relaxation
than was witnessed in the money market.
A third influence in the heaviness Of the
stock market, especially during the fore
noon, was report that the much-talked-
about iron ore deal between the Great
Northern Railway and the United States
Steel corporation had encountered hitch,
'and that the negotiation had been indef-
more definite confirmation than was fur
nished by a hve-point decline In Great
Northern preferred. and by losses Of one
point and over In United States Steel pre-
'ferred and common.
So far as the results Of the Maine cleo
'tfons were concerned. It would appear that
Wall street misinterpreted the full signiA-
"be understood in that locality that one of
the chief factors in yesterdays voting In
that state was the question OF the revision
of the liquor laws. and all things consid-
cred, 1t would appear that the party Of the
administration made quite a creditable
showing.
