Director of the Mint Roberts Thinks
That 80 May Be Touched

Denver. Colo, Nov. 9.-"Silver is 60
ing to reach price of rs or better with
in two years, and it is going to hold that
price," said George w. Roberts, Director
of the United States Mints, in an inter-
view to-day. 81 believe that hundreds
of silver mines throughout the West
which have been shut down for more
than ten years because of the fall in
price will be opening up again within q
year, simply because the price of the
metal will make it worth WHILE" Mr..
Roberts continued.
"And. further, let me state. this 10
no speculative or boom market. The
price of III to-day will be better next
month. and it will steadily and natural
ly advance point at time until high

TRAVEL NOW IN COMFORT
Long Stage Ride to Yosemite Val
ley to Be Done Away With
After March Next

The Southern Pacific announces that
new service to the Yosemite Valley, in
connection with the Yosemite Valley
Railroad Company, will begin about
March first next.
The so mile stage ride will be done
away with. The new line extends
from Merced Falls to the boundary OF
Yosemite National Park IL miles from
the center of the valley, thence over a
turnpike, either an automobile or stage
line conveying passengers quickly to the
hotels. Fifteen hundred men are now
at work AMI the last rail will be laid by
February 10 next.
The new railway up the Merced River
Canyon is one of the scenic lines Of the
world. From Merced Falls to the Park
Line is a continuous panorama Of mag
nificent canyon and river scenery.
From San Francisco to the heart of the
valley will be a journey of not more
than 10 hours via the Southern Pacific,
the Yosemite Valley Road Line and the
new turnpike company.
Frank A. Miller, proprietor of the
Glenwood Hotel. Riverside. has se-
cured from the Department of the In
terror the exclusive privilege of building
and operating hotels in the valley, and
will expend $4,000, 900 in the work. The
hotels are to be of stone and to be built
to conform in interior and exterior
furnishings to the surroundings. Plans
are now being made and in the main
will conform to the great stone castles
of Europe in design, study of which
is now being made for that pur.
pose. President Roosevelt has taken a
strong personal interest in the matter
and expressed his approval Of the pro-
ject. The idea of the new hotels has
been approved to the Interior Depart.
mept by DR.. David Starr Jordan, DIR.
Benjamin Ide Wheeler. DR.. Albert
Shaw, Jacob Ris and others who know
the valley.
The round trip fare from Merced to
the floor of the valley will not exceed
SI75O.
The Yosemite Valley Railway is
standard gauge modern road of 70
pound steel rails. steel bridges and will
be rock ballasted and dustless 1t not
only makes the valley accessible but
will open a rich mining and lumber
district. Its length is so miles. Its
two-sory office building and depot at
Merced, as we'll as round house, shops
and terminals are almost finished.
The new hotels will not be really for
next seasons business, but Mr.. Miller
has under consideration plans for tenn
porary structures to care for the travel
er comfortably.
The Southern Pacific is advising all
railways in this country aud Europe of
the route to the Yosemite.

Reno, Nevada. Nov. IL. - Murray
Scott. the principal defendant in the
suit brought by T. ]. Costello to obtain
a one-twelfth interest in the Wonder
mine and a half.interest in all of Scott s
individual holdings. denies that he or
any of his associates were guilty OF
bribing jurymen Smith and Whiteley
during the trial Of the case at Fallon.
Scott came to Reno to fight the charges
and to oppose setting aside the findings
of the jury. He says the affidavit of b. R..
McCabe, who claims Smith confessed to
him. is perjured testimony. Savage,
one of the defendants, he says, did buy
team of horses from jurymen White
ley after the trial but that the purchase
was legitimate and had nothing to do
with the lawsuit.

TAKES LARGEST CATFISH
IN HISTORY OF POTOMAC

What was probably the biggest cat
fish ever taken in the Potomac river
was pulled out this morning by Ernest
Jones just off the flood gates at the
foot OF Fourteenth street The fish
weighed all of fourteen and a half
pounds.
Jones had been fishing from the bridge
without success for nearly half an nour

bait on the end Of the hook 1t was
just a plain. ordinary bait, the kinC
Jones had used before to catch fish
one-ffth the size OF the big fellow But
1t was to be proved again than some
times small bait will catch a big fish
When the catfish took firm hold of the
hook, Jones wasn't sure whether he had
a shark or whale on his line The
first jerk nearly landed him in the river.
but he grabbed the bridge and held ON
for dear life. The fish fought hard
and 1t was many minutes before Jones
could land him. the line cutting deep
into his hands. Old fishermen declare
that undoubtedly this is the biggest
fish of its kind ever found in these
waters, though n number ~ ten and
twelve Founders have been taken.
