c. G. N. w. Doubles Stock,

Chicago, Ill., Oct. 1S.-A special
meeting of the shareholders of the
Chicaso and North Western railroad
was he'd here today when it was de
cided to increase the capital stock
slOo,oOU,0CO to $2O0,OO0,00O for the
purpose OF extending the line THROUGH
to the Pacific coast, thereby following
the example of the st. Paul and other
competitors. President Marvin Highitt
explained that 2000 miles of new track
would be laid beyond those already
laid at Wyoming and thus form a di
rect route 10 the Pacific coast. At the
present time the Chicago and North
Western extends as far west as Oma
ha but it also has large trackage
through Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ne
braska and new lines in Wyoming and
montana. The new stock issue will
be preferred similar to the recent is
sue of the Union Pacific.

Ways of SmelteT Trust Are
Arrdigned and Some Rem
idieS Are Offered.
MANAGER OF SMELLING
COMPANY MAKES REPLY
Judge Prince of New Mexico Offers
Resolution as to Mining on
Grants In Territories.

Denver Oct. 1S.-The American
mining congress today listened to
paper by State Senator Z. NJ De La
vergne of Colorado Springs, on the
subject, Mutual Relations and Griev.
ences of Smelling Trust and Ore Pro
ducers.' He declared that at present
the price of the commodity is entirely
determined by the buyer. and that
sampling was done by an employe who
was paid to cut down the valuation of
ore. He suggested automatic sampl-
ing as a remedy As further remed-
les for the evils which he declared
existed he suggested that state legisla-
ton and national legislation come to
amicable agreement in the encourage
ment of competition and in govern
ment operation. He believed the first
four remedies sufficient, but If not, he
thought the government should be
asked to step in and do the smelling
for the country.
Franklin S. Guiterman. general
manager of the smelling and refining
company replied to De Lavergne. He
claimed that the So called smelter
trust had already active competition
and quoted figures to show that since
the combination of smelters had gone
into effect there had been a consider
able reduction in charges. He defend
ed at length the purchase of ore, of
which De Lavergne had complained,
and explained some of the points mare
by the first speaker.
He also stated that the price paid
for ore was fixed by quotations taken
from the Engineering and Mining
journal. w. r. ingalls,, editor of that
paper, stated that these quotations
were secured from reports of actual
wholesale transactions.
Among the resolutions which the
committee on resolutions recommend
eds to be passed was one by l.. B.
rrince of New Mexico, as follows:
Resolved, That the American Min
Ing congress respectfully request that
the congress of the United States
snail provide a law for locating and
working mines of reserved metals,
gold, silver and quick silver, on Span
ish land claims.

STANDARD OIL HOPES
FOR JURY DISAGREEMENT

FINDLAY, Ohio, Oct. 1S.--At $3.50
o'clock this morning there was no
sign of verdict from the jury in the
jury in the case of the state against
the Standard Oil company of Ohio, for
alleged conspiracy against trade. The
attorneys for the defense are confident
the jury will be unable to agree. They
look for such announcement at any
time; but the state is willing to give
the jury plenty of time to adjust theiI
differences, and should the jury en-
deavor to get discharged. too early on
the plea that the cannot agree, they
will probably be sent back for fur
ther consideration.
