Pacific Grove, Cal, Aug. "a

against military law, occurred at the
Presidio of Monterey in connection
with the Pacific small arms eompeti-
tion which was finished Saturday. One
of the best soldiers among the en-
listed men and fifth in order Of
craftsmanship at the opening of the
shoot was Sergeant H. Spree of Troop
E, Fourteenth cavalry lie had
friend ambitious to obtain a place on
the rifle team going to the Fort Sheri-

His friend was less sure shot. The
rifle range at the Presidio is cut
through pine forest and Spree, hid

friend was supposed to be aiming.
when the signal was given, the friend
firing wide so as not to show any
surplus of bullet marks On one 90

SULTAN'S EXCUSES
GOVERNMENTS OF FRANCE and
SPAIN BELIEVE HE FTBS.
Entire Coast Of Morocco viii Be
PatrOIIed by Them Until Interna.
tionaI Police Are lnstalled-Kidnap-
ing Of Sir Harry MacLean by RaisuIl
Causing all the Trouble.

Paris, Aug. 6.-The government has
received, through the French charge
Gaffaires at Tangier, the excuse of the
Moroccan government board for the
troubles at Casa Blanca and its usual
assurances that it's orders have been
given to the governors of the various
ports that they will be held respon-
sible for the security of foreigners.
But these platonic assurances will not
affect the program the government is
Celebrating with Spain and for which
active preparations are proceeding.
The second naval division has sailed
from Toulon for Morocco. The entire
coast of that country will be patrolled
by French and Spanish fleets until the
international police are installed.
General A. B. Drude, commanding
the First regiment of the Fourth AL
geriaR Tilailleurs, has been given com.
mand of the French expeditionary
force that is now embarl1ing at Oran
for Casa Blanca.
The impression is general here that
in order to put an end to anarchy in
Morocco a punitive expedition must
march on Fee.
Official advices received say that the
Sheerifian troops have attacked and
burned the village of Hauta, near
Raisuli's abode
1t now transpires that, when on
July q the Kmass tribesmen demand
ed that Raisuli surrender Caid Sir
Harry Mac Lean because they feared
an attack by the Sultan's troops,
Raisuli suddenly vanished, taking
MacLean with him into the hills, where
he left him in charge of his (Raisuli's)
brother. MacLean was then badly
treated but after five days he was
brought back again. Negotiations for
his release continue.
MacLean is now permitted to write
freely, and in letters to friends. here
confirms the foregoing information.
It is stated that the governing
boards only condition for a cessation
of hostilities against Raisuli is the lib
GRAFTON of MacLean, and that it does
not stipulate the arrest or surrender
of the bandits.
Europeans in Tangier Aeitated.
Tangier, Morocco Aug. Sup to
noon Sunday no further advices had
been received from Casa Blanca. The
arrival there of the French cruiser
Galilee made a good impression, but
the Europeans were still greatly ex-
cited, as 2O00 Arab horsemen were in
sight of the city. The commander of
the Galilee offered to lombard the
town, but the foreign consuls prevent
ed this action. All foreign business
houses and the banks are closed, and
business is at a standstill The Italian
cruiser Etna, with the Italian minister
aboard, has arrived at Casa Blanca.
In spite of his wound, it is reported
that General Bagdani, head of the gov
eminent force operating against the
bandit Raisuli in an endeavor to res
cue Caid Sir Harry MacLean, is pres
sing on. 1t is said the tribesmen are
frightened at the manner in which
Bagdani is sacking and burning viii
lagos, and are negotiating with Raisuli
for the release of MacLean.

SAID TO HAVE MADE $780,
100000 In Is YEARS.
Report of Roosevelt Shows Company
Used Its Power to Raise Price Of
GILMORE Cases Being Tried at Chi.
cago This Week-New Grand Jury
to Go over Evidence.

Washington, Aug. Significant
revelations are made public in a re-
mort submitted to President Roose-
Welt by Herbert Knox Smith, commits
siouer of corporations, concerning the
operations of the Standard Oil com
pany.
In previous, report the means and
methods of the Standard were ex-
planned. The present report sets forth
the results of these methods and the
effect they have had on the consumer
of oil and on the profits of the Stand
ard Oil company.
Commissioner Smith says:
"The Standard Oil company is re-
sponsible for the course of prices of
petroleum and it's products during the
last % years. The Standard has con
sistently used it's power to raise the
price of oil during the last 10 years,
not only absolutely, but also relatively
to the cost of crude OIL"
The Standard has claimed that it
has been a benefit to the consumer.
and that only a great combination like
the Standard could have furnished oil
at the prices that have prevailed.
Each one Of these claims" says
Commissioner Smith, lis disproyed by
this report"
The increase in annual profits of the
Standard Oil company from 1896 to
1904 was over $27OOO,0O0 The report
says:
"The total dividends paid by the
Standard from 1882 to 1906 were $751;
923,724, thus averaging 2415 per cent
a year. The dividends, however, were
much less than the total earnings. 1t
is substantially certain that the entire
net earnings of the Standard from 1882
10 1906 were at least $4,000 600, and
possibly much more.
There profits have been based on
an investment worth at the time of its
original acquisition not more than
$75,OOO,OOO."
Try More Cases.
The second federal inquiry into the
relations between the Standard Oil
company of Indiana and the Chicago
& Alton railroad, ordered by Judge
lands of the United States court be-
gan Monday.
The call for the special grand jury
will be issued and United States Dis
trict Attorney Sims will go over all
the evidence presented at the recent
trial of the Standard Oil company,
which resulted in conviction and
fine Of $29,24O,OOO, and will select the
witnesses to be subpenaed.

Officer Green Fights Drink Evil in the
Northwest.

STHCeT NFSSH rights Drink EVIL IN Lne
Northwest.
John w. Green, special officer of the
Indian service, has sent to the Indian
commissioner a report giving the re
suit of his Investigations into the sale
OF liquor to Indians in Washington and
Idaho. He was sent out to work for
the suppression of such sale, and en-
bodies his observations on local condi-
tons with a statement of what he did
to execute his mission.
He found that the local county and
city authorities in every county visited
in the two states were anxious to CO.
operate with him in the prevention of
the sale of whisky to the Indians, and
from his report it appears that there
is remarkable unanimity of sentiment
in all quarters there as to the desira-
bility of assisting the aborigines to
avoid destruction from their arch en-
emy-strong drink
Mr. Green at one time thought that
perhaps it would facilitate matters
were he permitted to employ stool
pigeons" and wrote to the Indian Of
fee for authority to do so. He was
refused without qualification.

trouble is that the collieries and coke
manufacturers have not kept pace
with the mines and smelters.
AT recent meeting of the directors
OF the Belcher mine the resignation of
J. L. Harper as superintendent of the
Belcher mountain and of the Bortle
Copper-Gold Mining company, was &C

That the conditions in the Boundary

coke for the use of the three district

Monday the regular monthly divi-

GOOD REVENUE FROM FORESTS
Receipts for Fiscal Year Double Those

Receipts for Fiscal Year Double Those
Of Preceding Year.
The total receipts from business in
the national forests for the fiscal year
ending June 80 were $1,529. 917 SO.
more than double the receipts for the
preceding year, and the sum which
goes to the states and territories by
law, to swell the county school and
road funds where national forests are
located-10 per cent of the totals
also more than doubled, reaching the
considerable sum Of $153, 991.79. Rem
tails OF grazing and other privileges
are the chief sources of income.
There is food for thought in the
fact that, except for Arizona, Califor-
MIA and Utah, the states which de-
rive the greatest benefit from the re-
turns of forest management are Col
orado, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Wash
ington and Wyoming, the six states in
which congress last winter forbade
the addition of new national forests
except by its own act. AS compared
with the figures of last year, Mon
tana's share, $2O,65542, is this year
over three times larger; Idahos, &c.,

The report of the late director of the
United States mine has been published
and it's figures. although of little value,
as they deal with the period ending nine
months ago, are interesting as showing
what Nevada had lone up to January /.
1907, and as giving us a basis on which
to figure the position of this state in
the gold producing commemorative when
the next report shall be published.
Mr.. Roberts figures now place Nevada
fourth in the list of gold producing
states and sixth in the silver producing.
Alaska, which is placed second among
the gold producing has fallen off in the
nine months of this year.. California,
which is third. will probably show a
slight increase, owing to the develop
ment of the dredge mining business.
Colorado will probably maintain her SUI
premacy as the premier gold producer.
But Colorado will have to work hard to
do 1t. for by the ook Of things. Nevada
will stand close to the front as a pro-
Queer Of the yellow metal by the end
of this year.
In silver we look for little change. so
far as Nevada is concerned. Ours is a
regular output. There is little change
from year to year in the number Of
ounces, whether the price be low or
high. With 70-cent silver as a steady and
reliable thing. we could easily treble
our production. As it is, there is little
inducement to increase 1t.

MANAGED WATTS PLEASED
WITH ECLIPsE SHOWING

c. NJ. Watts, ms of the seven
Troughs Eclipse Mining company, is In
Salt Lake and when seen in the local OF
fees of the Eclipse company. expressed
complete satisfaction with the manner
in which the ground under his charge
is answering the efforts of the manage
ment. So far, he states, the Eclipse
has opened up the famous Ma
yuma vein upon it's own ground for a
distance of 1,4O0 feet, and there is hard
ly a spot where work has been done
without it's showing in gold values. The
is bringing a fine tonnage OF
rich shipping rock to the surface, while
a splendid amount of milling grade ore
is being blocked out for disposition.
Mr.. Watts stated that there were 10
sets Of leasers nov on the Eclipse
group. Five of these are actively work.
ing in gold ore. while the other i've are
about ready to commence operations.
Som Of the leases have been extended
so that time will Justify the owners In
installing machinery for searching
depth for values. Mr.. Watts deems the
Eclipse equal to any property at Seven
Troughs, and says that the company
will install a hosting equipment soon,
so that work can be carried forward at
greater speed.
1t is Of interest to all Seven Troughs
that certain strong interests are PLAN
ming a custom mill for the camp. This
will bring a splendid tonnage of lower
grade ore into commercial form. and all
the property owners are willing to CO.
operate with the enterprise, so that 1t
will be a success from the start.

RENO IS BIDDING FOR THE
AMERICAN MINING CONGRESS

he is empowered to appoint. E. L. Bing-
ham of Reno. and w. Grimes of
Churchill are amoung those already Sc
lected by Governor Sparks as delegates.
Mining men who have important in
terests at stake feel that there are sew
eral grave reasons why Nevada should
be well represented at Joplin. letting
alone the matter of trying to get the
1908 congress for Reno. Matters are to
be discussed and passed upon that are
of vital importance to the mining inter
ests generally. 1t is known hat an eff
fort will be made to have the Joplin ses-
sion pass a resolution recommending
legislative measures to suspend or abol-
ish the annual assessment work OF min
ing claims. substituting these for the
right to purchase a claim at a stipulated
sum, or the annual payment of a NOM
inal fee.
The White Pine county miners and
prospectors are greatly exercised over
this. according to advices from Ely and
Phoebe. and Hon. r. A. Riepe is getting
communications from man claim hold
ers asking that he exercise his influence
at Joplin to thwart any such measur
or step.
The main objection to the adjustment
of the annual labor necessary to give
possessory title to a location, is that the
capitalist woul have an advantage over
the poor prospector. At n rate there
is much feeling in White Pine county in
opposition to the contemplated resolu-
tion.
The congress at Joplin will also re-
new it's agitation for the establishment
of a national bureau or department of
mining.
