Only Seven Votes We're Cast
Against the Hepburn Rate
Measure.
Bill Complies With the Recommends
tions of President Roosevelt and
Gives Interstate Commerce Com
mission Power to Name
Reasonable Rates

Washington.-Th house has passed
the Hepburn railroad rate bill by a
vote of BAG to 7. Those voting against
the bill were: Littlefeld, Mccall,
Perkins, Sibley, Southwick, Vree-
land and Weeks.
The bill, according TO Mr.. Hepburn's
statement, in closing the debate on
the measure, was intended, and did,
so far as it could be made, he said,
comply specifically with the recon-
mendations of President Roosevelt on
the rate question 1t gives the inter
state commerce commission authority,
when a rate has been complained Of
as unreasonable" by a shipper, to in
vestigate that rate. state whether OF
not it is unreasonable. and if found
to be unreasonable, to name a rate
which is to be just and reasonable
and fairly remunerative, which is TO
be the maximum rate to be charged.

time to be set aside or suspended by
the commission or by the courts.
After it has gone into effect it is TO re-
main the rate for three years. Dur.
ing this time, the opinion has been
expressed by those who have partici-
pated in the debate, the rate may also
be reviewed by the courgs and il
found to be in conflict either with the
terms of the act or with the Constitu-
ton, by being confiscatory. can be set
aside by the courts
Another important feature is the
definition of the words railroad" and
Transportation" in a manner to in
clude all auxiliary instrumentalities
of the common carrier and to bring
them within the control of the COM
mission This power to name a rea-
sonable rate and the inclusion of the
auxiliaries within the jurisdiction or
the commission are said to be the new
features All other provisions are
notifications of existing law. They
include publicity of railroad methods,
which is to be aided by prescribing
system of bookkeeping and enlarging
the commission to seven members
and increasing salaries of members
to $4,000 year.

MINERS KILLED IN EXPLOSION.
Terrible Disaster in West Virginia
Mine as Result of Gas Explosion.

Charleston, W. va.-At least twen-
ty-eight men are supposed to have

Galleries company near Oakhill.
Thirty-nine men were EMPLOY in the

a pocket of gas which was struck in
a fault in the mine. The explosion
was terrific and it is thought that
most of the miners we're killed OUT

ANOTHER RICH GOLD SHRINE
 MADE IN SANTA RrIAS.

The old Parks gold mines iocaleo m the southwestern slope of the san ia Rita mountains near Patagohia where the gold excitement broke out some four years ago, is exciting sohne interest. says the Tucson Star
 Some time ago R. E. Doan anu as sociates made an examination ol Ine property. It pleased them. Thep JOCK 2 sample from a 20-foot vein of ore and sent a good milling test to hahos- burg and had it milied and 10. IL gave over an ounce of gold to the ton ms resulted in the immediate purchase of a 15ton mill which is now in tran sir to be erected at once at the mines
 Since the purchase of the property developments have come on 10 sone exceedingly rich ore glylng oVeI s1oO ir gold value. The vein is sala to be over 90 feet in width in perma- nent formation. The result is the gold camp of the old Parks mine IS going to be the center. in fact is now, the scene of more than usual interest
 Patagonia is the point of departure +o the gold district which is about four miles distant. Thus Patagonia is likely to enjoy some interesting mining boom.

RARE ORE IN SHIPMENT.

W. L. Tork, of the York group of mines, is shipping through Douglas tc Fl Paso today eight sacks of tellu- rum ore from the Esmeralda mine. This is a very rare ore in Sonora, and in fact, in the Republic of Mex ico. This is the first ore of the kind shipped from the district so far as known. That is. Mir. York is the only shipper of this kind of ore. It carries about s1 in gold values to the pound

PARADISE WILLIE
 PRODUCER Description of Development Companies Operating in
 that District

In the first number of the Paradise Record we find the following which tells of the progress being made by some of the prominent mining com panies in that district:
 lcHiRIcAHuA DEVELOPMENT co.
 This property is situated about one mile and one-half west of Paradise. After developing the claims to a lim- ited extent. Capt. John A. Duncan, of St. Joseph, Mo, bonded them to the present company. The latter com pany is financed in Michigan. The directors include N. NJ. Kaufman, president, and S. R. Kaufman, secre- tary and treasurer, both of Marquette, | Mich. The company is a close cor Iporation, four men owning all but about 10 per cent of the stock. The plant, as al present in opera l tion, consists of a Sullivan air com
 pressor good for Is drills; a hoist en- zine, made by the Lake Shore Iron
 Works, good for 1000 feet: and three boilers, of 150 horsepower each, made by the Kewanee Boiler Works. Until recently the drills in use were all Sullivan rock drills. five of which
 were on hand. Most of the time the
 work of drilling called for only two
 drills at time, but of late the num- l -ber of drills in use were increased to four or five continually. At the last meeting of the company, however, i 1t wasI decided to Install diamond
 drills, and to this end two of these | hoc Ch .lny of 10 fire

 The ore encountered by this com,
 pany is a smelting ore. The forma'
 ton in these claims is in limestone
 with dykes of granite and porphyry, Ore occurs along the contact. Water | was encountered in the mines, but
 not in such large quantities as to se-
 riously interfere with the develop
 ment work. The water is bajed out
 with a baler, instead of by pumping

 AS the loads of dirt come I'D, the
 baler goes down The water is then
 pumped into tank above the mines
 where it is stored in sufficient quan' 1 titles to supply the entire nseds of the nine.
 The extent Of fhe development work | is indicated as follows:

 they drove both north and souIh, in
 all about 600 feet The drifting has all been accomplished since March l, 1905. This company took hold of the l work about February l, 1904.
 In the mines three shifts are en- Ipleyed, aggregating the employment on the average, of from sixty to sev- enty-five men, Americans Inclr6ing those employed in the company s wood camp and in hauling wood to the mine, about 100 Mexicans work for the company. Thus the Chiri- eahua gives employment to nearly POO men.
 Since beginning operations he Chiricahua company has spent in the neighborhood of $400,00o in develop ment work on their property here.
Bisbee daily review., 1906-02-11
THE MANHATTAN.

This group consists Of thirty-seven claims lying to Ihe north and north west of the Chiicahua property. They may really be considered as 2 contin- uation of the latter, the Manhattan group being conveniently defined as beginning on the other side of the ridge, at a distance of not more than Ione-half mile away. Very few of these claims are at all developed.
 The owners of the Manhattan are practically the same as the bonders of the Chiricahua, except that the Manhattan is managed by w. C.. Rice. This property, the Rieder and Smith group, was first bonded about a year ago, 10 per cent being paid down. Under the stipulation of the contract the last payment was to have been made about January l, 1907.
 The development work on this property is not so extensive as that at the sister property. It must not be supposed, however, that the Man hattan is not a promising property.
 Very little sinking has been done on this property. The present man agement has done none. The work done by the present owners consists f crosscuts, east and west across the known ore ledge, to the extent of SOC feet, this being done in order to learn the best location for the sink ing of shafts.

Met With a Serious Accident.

George McNamaee, better known as
"Shorty," who was in the employ of
the Grey Eagle Company at Bullion
Hill, met with a severe accident last
Friday afternoon which may cost him
his life.
From what we have been able to
learn it is said that he was engaged by
the company in bringing ore or pack
animals from the mine to the foot of
the grade, a distance of about one
mile. He had made one trip and was
returning to the mine, riding one of
the horses, and is thought that he
was thrown to the ground striking
on a large rock. He was found some
time alter by one of the workmen at
the mine. He was Immediately ON
veyed as far as Chiara's ranch that
night and brought to town the next
dav. 1t is said his back is broken and
he is paralyzed from his waist down.
At last accounts he was very bad
and it is thought he cannot survive
much longer.

The boiler of the engine was found
in the sagebrush about 700 feet from
