Bond Of Sympathy Lacking Between
Operator and Capitalist.
SHIPPING IS A PROBLEM
Many of Best Mining Districts Are Far
From Transportation.

The majority of people who are
not engaged in mining operations
have but a vague conception of
the many difficulties which attend
the development Of a mine or
prospect and especially when
such properties are located some
distance from railroad facilities,
and where it is sometimes impos-
sible to secure transportation fa-
cilities, says Salt Lake Mining
Review.
After a prospect is found, be it
ever so good, it often requires a
period of from two to FIVE years
before it can be placed on a reg
ular paying basis, even though
the owners are possessed of ample
capital. And yet there are those
who, making an investment in
mining propositions, expect ma
terial returns within six months
or year.
This class, even though its
members may be of broad gauge
and ready to go into their pockets
to meet every requirement of
mine development and equip
ment, are impatient for quick re-
suits, and for the simple reason
that they do not understand con-
ditions in the mining camps of
the west; and this impatience is
frequently very embarrassing to
the mine management and to
those who are striving to push
operations economically and to
the best possible advantage.
The writer has known of min
ing enterprises where the work
seemed to drag interminably:a :and
yet it has since transpired that
the management and officials Of
such companies have struggled
heroically with difficulties and
hardships which would have COM
pletely discouraged and disheart-
| ened men of less sterner moldy
men who woHld have proclaimed
it an utter impossibility to over
+ come certain coiSditions existing
in mining operations.
One of the greatest obstacles to
successful mining during the past
winter and spring has been the
impassability Of the roads leading
to many of our mining camps and
; districts; camps and districts

CONDEMN SWETTENHAM.
People OF Kingston Assemble in Mass
Meeting.

Kingston, Jamaica, Feb. 21.--A mass
meeting of citizens held here con
demned Governor Swettenham for pre-
venting monetary assistance coming
here The meeting adopted a petition
to parliament for a grant of S750,00O
and a loan of S5,000,000 to assist In the
rebuilding of the city.
Plans are now on foot for rebuilding
a vastly improved Kingston. All the
principal thoroughfare In the CONNER
clan section will be widened, while
Little Port Royal street, that nearest
the harbor front, will be abolished
Owing to its narrowness this street
proved veritable deathtrap at the
time of the earthquake. Then 1t Is
purposed to dispose Of the thousands
of tons of debris by using the stuff in
the construction Of great sea wall
along the harbor front. 1t Is also pur
posed to put In operation the long de-
erred scheme of erecting a magnifi
lent pile in which practically all the
public departments would be cen
tralized.
Dead bodies are still being recov
cred from the ruins and, while the ac'
tual number Of killed will never be
known, the total cannot fall far short
of 1100.

production Of the letters, but Mr
Hartridge sat silent.
Referring to the time of her expert
ence with Stanford White Mr.. Jerome
asked the witness how long she was
unconscious. Mrs. Thaw could not
remember, even approximately, but
insisted that she had returned to her
home before daylight.
Mrs. Thaw was shown large num-
Der of photographs by Mr.. Jerome
and identified them as pictures of her
self taken at the Twenty-third street
station on the day she was there with
Stanford White being photographed.
She had, she said, spent the entire
day In posing. Mrs. Thaw stated the
pictures were taken on the day before
her experience with Stanford White
in the mirrored bedroom.
allowance From Stanford White.
Mr.. Deimas allowed twelve checks
endorsed by Evelyn Nesbit and her
mother to 80 in evidence. The checks
were drawn by the Mercantile Trust
enco Nesbit and ranged from $50 to
$50. Mrs. Thaw testified that the
checks represented money furnished
by Stanford White.
Mr.. Jerome next introduced sixteen
more checks for S25 each, bearing
dates from Feb. 1, 1902, to April "a
1902, and endorsed by Evelyn Flor
ence Nesbit Mrs. Thaw acknowledged
the signature was hers and said the
money was from Stanford White.
Mrs. Thaw bore the ordeal of cross
examination with much fortitude and
there was no Indication of a break
down at any point of her testimony,
although her voice trembled at times.
Mr.. Jerome was assisted materially
in his cross-examination of the wit
ness by statements made to him by
her mother, Mrs. Holman, and her
brother, Howard Nesbit. Mr.. Delmas
objected to Mr.. Jerome reading from
Mrs. Holman's statement, saying If
her testimony was desired she should
be brought forward as a witness.
IL should like to do so,' said the
district attorney, "but you know where
she is

ney Jerome continued his cross-exam-
ination Of Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
and, judging from the thoroughness of
his questioning, it was apparent that
he will keep the young woman on the
stand for several days to come.
Mr.. Jerome indicated by his ques-
tions that he does not intend to spare
Mrs. Thaw in any way whatsoever,
but will turn over every leaf in her
past life. He seemed well prepared
with notes and information. From
time to time his assistant, Mr.. Gar
van, supplied the details on which
some of the questions were founded
The prosecutor took advantage also
OF Mrs. Thaw's statement Tuesday
that the story she told Thaw about
Stanford White was true to attack the
story as to Its minutest details
1t had been thought the rules of
evidence would prevent this. for tho
story had been introduced by the de-
fense merely to show its effect upon
the mind of Thaw. Only Mrs. Thaw
had stated on the witness stand that
her narrative was true and 1t gave
the prosecutor the opportunity he had
waited for.
Mr.. Jerome questioned Mrs Thaw
as to her methods of posing for artists,
insisting upon definite answers to his
questions. She denied In a positive
manner that she had ever posed In
the nude or had cast made OF her
nude figure.
Another Man in the Case.
Mr.. Jerome asked about her rela-
tions with James A. Garland, whom
she knew before she met Stanford
White.
Mrs. Thaw said she had been on
Mr.. Garlands yacht, but always ac-
companied by her mother.
Were you named as correspondent
in Mr.. Garlands divorce suit2" asked
Mr.. Jerome.
Attorney Delmas objected to this,
saying the record of the case was the
best evidence.
Mrs. Thaw also was asked about
man named Hoppe or Hopley, whom
she met soon after coming to New
York. Nothing developed from the
examination, however.
The witness was put through the
closest sort of questioning regarding
letters Stanford White had written to
her, Mr.. Jerome wanting to know
just what she had done with all OF
them. Mrs. Thaw declared the only
letters she knew to be In existence
were In the hands Of Mr.. Hartridge

BENDS MESSAGE TO STATE SENATE
CRITiClSES THE WORK OF THE

Albany, N. Y, Feb. 21.-Governol
Hughes has sent to the senate spe
cial message recommending the re
Moval from office of State Superin
tendent Of Insurance Otto Kelsey In
making the recommendation the gov
ernor says:
With respect to life insurance New
York is easily the most important
Jurisdiction In the United States, II
not In the world, and the vast inter
ests involved imperatively require
and it should be point of honor for
the state to maintain, fearless and
efficient administration Of its supervis
ing department commanding the con
f1dence of the people.
81 recommend Mr.. Kelsey's removal
because as head of this department
he has conspicuously failed to perform
obvious duties of the first Importance
and his neglect has demonstrated his
unfitness for the trust confided to
him."
Governor Hughes comedies that
there was a great burden of work on
Superintendent Kelsey and declares
that he does not seek to impusn his
integrity.
But" said the governor, "the more
important the work of the department
the greater the need Of making 1t eff
cient and trustworthy. The assiduity
of departmental chief in attention to
details. to routine, cannot compensate
for lack of administrative capacity
The passing of laws will amount to
nothing If they are not executed. Pro-
visions for publicity will not avail IL
the supervision of the state be feeble
and inadequate"
The message was read and referred
without debate to the committee on
judiciary of which Senator Davis OF
Buffalo Is chairman.
