CASUAL TIES LIKE
WAR RECORDS
Astonishing Statistics Pur-
port to Enumerate Lives
Lost Among Workers
PLANNED

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Important
steps are to be taken in the city and
elsewhere to establish a system of
compulsory and accurate records OF the
enormous number of persons who are
annually killed and injured in Amer
ica's vast army of industrial workers.
In New York City only meager de-
tails of the persons killed through
accident and negligence are shown by
the reports of the Department of
Health and these reports are said to
be incomplete.
For two weeks beginning January
% an exposition will be held in this
city under the auspices of the Ameri-
can Institute of Social Service for the
purpose of studying and exhibiting
safety devices for dangerous machinery,
methods of industrial hygiene and to
set in motion the movement to estab-
lish a more accurate record of in
dustrial fatalities and accidents in all
parts of the country.
DR.. Josiah Strong, president OF the
American Institute Of Social Service,
in speaking of the number of persons
killed each year in our Industrial oc-
cupations, made some astonishing COM
parisons. He said:
I'VE in the United States killed in
four years some $4,000 persons. There
are more killed and wounded on our
railroads every year than the entire
losses of the Boer war on both sides
in three years We have industrial
casualties enough every year to keep
one conflict like our war with Spain
going on 1900 years, twelve such wars
going for 100 years Our peaceful va
cations cost more lives every two days
than were lost in battle during the en-
tire Spanish war.
From the best statistics obtain
able 1 may say there are today $4,000
persons in the United States under sem
tence Of death, to be executed at an un-
known moment during the next ten
years-1100 next week and the same
number every week until the ghastly
work is complete. An intelligent and
earnest effort would procure the re-
prieve of a multitude of these inno-
cent victims"

Merger Stocks Go
Up and Down at
Lively Pace

Goldfield Consolidated Mines stocks
were sold in considerable number yes
terday and the fluctuations in prices
Kept the people guessing. At the regu-
lar session of the board 800 shares of
Goldfield Consolidated were first sold at
81. Then 110 shares went to purchasers
at the rate of $7.121A.
smaller lot of 500 shares brought
the same price. Then a small offering
of so shares was taken in at $7.25 a
share, an advance of 25 cents in a few
minutes. No more was sold until the
informal session arrived and then the
price dropped of as sharply as 1t had
risen little earlier Two hundred
shares grought 81 each. and then 800
were sold at q still further decline,
1851 71, or 12h cents share lower than
the opening transaction. Therefore, the
change from highest to lowest price
amounted to 37h cents on sales of but
2500 shares In total. There was an
other drop at the close when Goldfield
Consolidated brought a bid of only
$6.75.
The market, generally, however, had
little to show in changes in prices.
Some stocks fell between sessions. At
lanta was sold at 81 cents at the regu-
lar session and dropped to 90 cents at
the informal. then bobbing back to 64
cents Blue Bull was lower at the in
formal session, going from Al cents
to 35. The fluctuations were not large
in any instance, nor were the sales ex-
tensive. The dealings included about
$4,000 shares of Atlanta; 1900 shares
of Blue Bull and lesser numbers of
other stocks. of which few ran up to
10000.
Still, there was money enough in
commissions in the board to make 1t
interesting for the fortunate brokers
who are selling mining stocks and for
those brokers of the Stock and Bond
Exchange who have not made a deal
with the San Francisco Stock and Ex-
change Board yet, but who hope to
close one soon.
The basis of commissions is one-half
of 1 per cent on the amount of money
represented by sales. There is no day
that the shares that are sold do not
number hundreds of thousands.
At the regular session alone,s in the
forenoon, the stocks dealt in were rep
resentative of la companies. If each
stock paid as much in commissions as
were sold at still further decline,
missions would make up what many
poor man would regard as a fortune.
Several Of the more active dealers in
mining stocks are supposed. popularity,
to be making at least $4,000 a month
in commissions, or at the rate of more
than 100000 a year. taking in the
spells of great activity and those of
less speed together.
Bids for some of the mining stocks
yesterday were as follows: Console
dated Virginia, $1.25; Yellow Jacket,
$3.50; Ophir, $3.50; Best and Belcher.
$3.50; Sierra Nevada, 80 cents; Jim

Greenwater and Death Valley proper
ties controlled by the Schwab interests
is largely centered on the Copper Queen
group of claims. These are not far
from the town of Ramsey and adjoin-
ing the Greenwater tcwnsite.
Three gasoline hoists have been
freighted to the property over the des-
ert from Johnnie Siding on the Clark
road. On the Copper Queen No. a
shaft has been started and is now
about twenty feet deep. A fifty-horse-
power hoist is being installed at this
point, where it is proposed to locate the
principal working shaft, owing to the
outcroppings of carbonates and black
oxides which have been uncovered by
the small amount of work performed

of the three towns which have been
established in this district, lying close
to the Schwab properties and equi-
distant from the towns of Ramsey and
Furnace. The West End and other
groups lie between Greenwater and
Furnace, which is situated farther up
the valley, possibly two miles distant
in an air line.
Furnace, which is situated near the
Furnace Creek Copper and Furnace
Creek South Extension Copper Com
panies properties, is the youn gest of
three towns and the smallest in popu-
lation. 1t is situated on a portion of
the Furnace Creek Copper Company's
claims, and lies on the eastern slope
distant about a mile from the summit
of the divide between Death Valley
and the valley lying to the east of the
Funeral Range. Most of the miners
employed on the adjoining properties
make 1t their home, and 1t Is growing
rapidly. owing to the increasing forces
of mfne-workers on nearby properties
The interest that has been evinoed by
copper experts all over the country in
this district continues. dozen en-
gineers, representing as many groups
of capitalists, are making a study of
the conditions, and the price of the
properties in the district have been in
creasing steadily, averaging now at
least double those ruling three months
ago. 1t is censervativeiy estimated
that the district has now a working
population of at least 1900 mon, and

on different properties, the number

WITHDRAWAL
Defense of Official Action
in the Matter Of Indian
Lands for Forest Reserves
DRAFT OF REPORT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Gifford Pin
ehot, chief OF the forestry service, to-
oay approved a rough draft of q re-
port TO the Secretary of Agriculture
relating to, the 100000 acres of land
IN Indian Territory, whose withdrawal
ior forest reserve purposes brought out
criticism OF the Secretary of the Inte-
rlor by a Senate committee.
The report will be q defense of the
withdrawal of the lands, which are To-
Gated in the Choctaw and Cherokee ma
tfons, and will show, first, that the
proposed forestry reserve was asked
Tor primarily by the Indians them
selves; second, that the maintenance
OF forest on the proposed area will
furnish much needed continuous sup
ply OF timber and wood for local use
and also prevent disastrous floods
along 1000 miles Of the Red River in
Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana, where
immense sums are now expended for
levees; third. that the reserve would
not take up all the residue of land after
allotments to the Indians.
The report will further insist that
the Secretary of the Interiors action In
temporarily suspending allotments was
not only within his right. but that he
would have been remiss had he done
otherwise.
the forestry bureau a recommendation
will be made to the Secretary of Agri-
culture, who will undoubtedly transmit
1t to the Secretary of the Interior, that
the area originally withdrawn could
be reduced half by leaving out the
part in the Cherokee Nation and all the
lands within twenty miles of the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas railway in the
Choctaw Nation. This report, which it
is expected the Secretary of the 1nte-
rior would make public, would show
that considerable more than half of the
reduced area was valuable for agricul-
ture and could be allotted in the near
future after examination to determine
It's arabic character
Notwithstanding the contention that
the Secretary of the Interior had no
warrant of law in which to segregate
the lands, the contention being that
they primarily belong to the In
dams, 1t is understood that the with
drawal will take place and that the In
dians have the right to try out the au-
thority of the Secretary In the courts.

Before the machinery could be
stopped the body of the boy was
