MAKE FIRST SHIPMENT

The first shipment of ore from the
Horseshoe group in the Horseshoe
camp. in the Kawich range. fifty miles
from here, has arrived in Tonopah and
was loaded into q car. There were
about So tons of ore. The owners
declare that from the sampling they
did before shipping they believe that
they will receive at least $500 ton.
1t is stated that the property is in fine
shape as a result of recent develop
ment. and that from now on the COM
pany expects to send out shipments Of
high-grade ore at regular intervals.
President Coulson of the Bullfrog
Giant property of Bullfrog states that
conditions on that property are of the
best. According to Coulson an ore
body has been encountered on the
property that is 125 feet wide and will
assay we'll into the good milling
figures.
Reports that have reached here from
Greenwater indicate that the southern
copper extension is causing great ac-
tivity. Fifteen hoists have been or
dered for the camp and will shortly
be installed and in operation The va
rious transportation companies, both
auto and stage, are straining every
nerve TO get their lines in such run
ming shape that they can handle the
great business coming to the camp.
The auto road is practically completed
from Amargosa to Greenwater. and the
big cars will soon be running oyer 1t.
The dispute over the townsftes is
still on, but 1T appears that Green
water is still in the lead over the rival

Mayor Gallagher. Abe Ruef and Chief
Dinan. The work to- be laid out for
the Commissioners at last nights
session was considered and the first in
timation given that the changes in the
department were to take place i'm
mediately.
The office of Captain of Detectives
was first considered. Commissioners
Creswell suggested Captain Colby, the
latest man to be elevated from lieu
tenant to the rank of captain. This
suggestion did not meet with favor
from the others present Commits
sioner Umbsen said that his choice
would be Captain Duke For the first
time since the changes were suggested,
Chief Dinan expressed his approval of
Dukes candidacy. 1t was understood
among the officials present that Michael
J. Conboy should be made captain of
Company A
Then the Osler theory was intro
duced into the discussion and the de-
capitation of veterans was decided
upon. Gallagher expressed himself
strongly on this point. favoring the
assignment of the younger men of the
upper office" to the more important
details.
Give the Gibsons assignments where
their ability will count for the' city"
said Gallagher.

4 o'clock Before the day was over he
had met about every registered voter

With becoming salute and pyrotech-
mics the rally opened tonight. The spa
cious theater was filled to capacity and
1t was what the politician calls in ex-
pressing his satisfaction a good meet
ing" L. p ST. Clair Jr presided and
warm applause greeted the standard
bearer when he was introduced. He
told the audience that the enthusiasm
that Bakersfield was showing the Re-
publican ticket was in keeping with
the enthusiasm he had found in the
other sections of the State he had Wis
tied.

ing of absolute confidence of success"
he declared. but after my tour. town

Pass, 1 have made a big increase in my
estimate of majorities. All is well in
the north, and in the south we are
stronger than ever
An analysis was made of the poor
showing of the Democratic party and
the audience applauded heartily the as
sertion that it is to the grand old party
after all that organized labor must
look for support. Gillett poked fun
at the imaginary line between Bell
and Hearst" but said that he would
have none of such political campaign
ing. Il have never slung mud in my
political career" he said. "and do not
purpose to begin now when / have
come before the people as an aspirant
for the highest office in the gift of the
State. Hearst and Bell can go on MAX

tation from the rest of us. So far as
am concerned I don't care which gets
the best of the argument

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 10.-William H.
Langdon opened his southern campaign
this afternoon. The Los Angeles organ
of the Doodle Dees announced the fact
in heavy front page headlines and ed
itorial comment. The hour set for his
arrival was 1:45 and the crowd was
admonished to be punctual At that
time seventeen persons were in the
park, counting women and children.
Six of these were watching the antics
of the monkeys in the Zoo. OF the
other eleven, three at least had come
to hear Langdon.
At o'clock auto No. l arrived with
the camera men and stenographers.
followed two minutes later by auto
No. 2, in which were the candidates of
the league for Governor, Lieutenant
Governor and Attorney General and a
vaudeville artist by the name of Oliver.
Auto No. 3, which had been advertised
to carry the fife and drum corps. met
with an accident and did not put in
an appearance.
After circling the park three times
the autos came to halt and the singer
mounted the bandstand and sang a.
song about sailor. After the meet
ing had been duly opened by song and
the camera men and stenographers had
taken their places, there were by ac-
tual county seventy-four people in the
park
In his address Langdon said there
was no doubt that Gillett was the
candidate of the railroad and asserted
that Bell was, too, saying that he rode
to the platform at Sacramento on
Southern Pacific passes. This hap
pened. according to the speaker, in the
following manner: Bell was carried
to the stage on the shoulders of some
of his admirers and these men had
passes in their pockets. Hence Bell
rode on several passes.
j. n. Blagge told the audience of
seventy four that Hearstism was not
politfcalHissuc in this campaign and
that Langdon was the only candidate
without a boss. Then the camera man
snapped his camera ana t,l> day

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 1o.-Revela-
tons of an amazin g nature are ex-
pected when Commissioner, Prouty of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
makes his report on the great coal
land frauds along the Union Pacific
road. He has. recently investigated
these and is understood to have un-
sarthed gigantic scheme of land
frauds covering many years and in
velved with the mining and hauling
of coal in Wyoming, Utah and Colo
rado. 1t is declared. too. that the
revelations involve high railroad Off
Gals and politicians. By one scheme
and another the railroad company and
its subsidiary companies, it is said,
have been for years monopolizipg the
benefits of the public domain and de-
frauding the Government and the
public out of millions of acres of land
AGENTS INFLUENCED.
The Interior Department has for a
long time had agents in this territory.
whose mission was to protect the pub
lie lands, but these agents have been
amenable to political influences over
which the management of the road had
leverage. Not until Mr.. PnOuty dug
into the facts, it appears,.ghas it been
possible to get at the bottom of them
1t has developed that the Union Pa
ciic owns the Union Pacific Coal Com
pany, with s5.000.000 capital. To this
company the coal business of the road
has been largely turned over. Union
Pacific director holds the stock of the
Superior Coal Company, which has large
holdings in that locality. The railroad
and the two coal companies have de-
veloped a complete systera, 1t is
charged. for monopolizing the coal
lands along the Union Pacific in Wy
oming, Utah and Colorado and con-
trolling their development.
For twenty miles on either side of
the Union Pacific every alternate section
belongs to that roads land grant. and
Prouty's report, it is said. will have
some surprising disclosures as to the
methods of the road TO prevent private
parties getting access to the lands not
included in it's grant. By interfering
with private holdings and the nanlpu-
lation of rates the Union Pacific has
almost absolutely controlled the min
eral development, it is charged,
The Interstate Commission will not
stop with the Union Pacific. 1t is un-
derstood the public domain has been
looted by other big railroads and in
dustries in the West. The Denver and
Rio Grande will be probed and a bad
situation is expected to be revealed
The Santa F'e and the Colorado Fuel
and Iron Company are to have their

also closely investigated. All these in
vestigations are under the Tillman-
Gillespie resolution passed by Congress

long one, and it is the belief of the
Presiding Judge that new men should
be given the responsibility for the re-
mainder of the year. Judge Graham
also stated that Foreman John Bran

Jury have urgently requested him to
dismiss the body and have a new one
drawn. as they did not feel able to

GRAND JURY WILL
END ITS LABORS.

eled two weeks before the fire, and
which has had to deal with the prob
lens Of insurance investigation, re-
construction and relief work attending
the period Immediately following the
disaster and the more recent problems
presented by the cslr strike and the
prevalence Of crime in the city, is to
be dismissed Friday by~Presiding Judge
Graham Of the Superior Court
For some time It has been rumored
thar the body was about TO be disband-
Cd but IL was not until yesterday tnaN
Judge Graham announced his intention
TO order the discharge and the draw
ing Of a new jury The new jury VIII
proba blv be selected either Monday or
Tuesday of next week from the same
venfre from which the present jury
was drawn.

names of twelve men recommended by

names viii be drawn, and from these
thirty the nineteen men viii be select
I'd who are 10 take the places OF the
retiring grand jurymen.
The announcement yesterday that
the Grand Jury was to be dismissed
caused much speculation as 70 the rea-
son for such a move, and the fact
was pointed out that the reports OF
several committees, particularly that
Of the police committee, are still pend
lng. Judge Graham. however, declared
that no significance attaches 10 these
facts. and that his sole motive in dis
missing the jury is that he considers
its work practically finished and
new body desirable because Of new
problems which must soon be taken
lnder consideration.
Judge Graham declared that the
greatest work OF the present body. that
3f handling the Insurance investiga-
ion is practically nnishc1. Many OF
