STEAMSHIP COMPANIES
WILL BE DRAGGED INTO NET

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE Jour-
nal of Commerce today says that the
shipping trade here is greatly inter-
ested and somewhat concerned at the
turn taken by the federal inquiry into
the operations of the Standard Oil
company, which may lead to an in
vestigation by the bureau of corpora
tions of the relations of the steam
ship lines wit interpretations engaged
IN heavy export business. This is
expected to follow the evidence given
by Phillip Harrison, manager of the
New York Lubricating Oil company.
Mr.. Harrison charged that five
steamship lines had made discrimin-
ations in rates in favor of the Stand
ard Oil company, until his firm was
forced to pay more than twice as
much as the trust for the transporta-
tion of oil. By reason of this, his
company was practically forced from
he South African territory.

ORE LINE IS
NEARLY DONE
Work Being Rushed Day and Night
TO Complete Road This
Month.
MAIN TRACK BEYOND FLATS
New Locomotives ON the Way to
Handle Enormous Tom
nages.

The ore line of the Nevada North
ern Railroad company, designed to
convey the great tonnages of low
grade copper ore from the mines on
Copper Flat to the smelters at Nc
Gill, will be completed within an
other week, and will then be ready
to be thrown into commission at
once.
The main track has been completed
to a point the other side of Copper
Flat, and at the fiat are two spurs
which have been laid to accommodate
the steam shovels which are beins
used to strip the Gaping from the
great bodies of ore which lie close
to the surface.
When the stripping has been COM
pleted, the ore will be taken from
its place and loaded directly into the
cars, by steam shovels, form of
mining that is almost absolutely
unique and peculiar to this district.
Tracks will be completed into the
concentrator at McGill before the end
of the present month, and then the
last link between the mines and the
smelters will have been completed.
Grading is being done on the Vet
eran Extension, and this, too is be-
ing hurried forward as rapidly as pos
sible. The rails used on all this work
are of the seveQty-five pound type,
and are built to stand the wear and
tear of heavy traffic.
There are now a number of pow
erful locomotives on the road, to be
used by the Nevada Northern in the
transportation of ores from the mines
to the smelters. These will be here
within the next two or three weeks,
and will be thrown into commission
as rapidly as required. The locomo-
tives are of special type, construct
ed particularly for heavy hauling and
for the enormous loads they will be
required to handle.
In order to rush the work forward
as rapidly as possible, construction
and grading all along the line is be-
ing done day and night. Powerful
electric lamps light the work at
night, and there is not moment in
the twenty-four hours when every
man who can find working room is
not kept on the move by the bosses.

earmarks of developing into big
mine. and good one, too.
"The copper belt runs through the
mountains there for a distance of
eight miles, and the copper and lead
are found everywhere. This will be
a great district at some time, but 1t
needs development-need it badly.
When money and energy go in there
and are centralized on the develop
ment of the various properties. there
will he number of surprises in store
for those who have not given that
district the attention it deserves.
development work is being done
on a number of the properties, and
the assessment work is being carried
on with activity. The prospectors
seem to be satisfied with what they
have and are holding on, and when
one wants to talk business with them,
it is money from the start. They
know they have good thing, and
will not talk at all for small money.
I have every reason to believe that
the Dolly Warden section will event
ually be big producer.

DIVORCES MAY STILL
HAVE CHURCH MARRIAGE

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 11.-A res
olution offered by Bishop Doane of
Albany before the house of bishops
of the general Episcopal convention

deny marriage to any divorced per-
son, was rejected by the house after
long discussion, in which many of
the more prominent members Joined.
The rejection of the resolution fol-
lowed the report of special COM
mittee on marriage and divorce ap-
pointed to render an opinion in the
matter. The committee recommend
ed that the resolution be rejected and
their recommendation were accept

"SKIDOOO BACHELORDOM'
SAY TWENTY.THREE MEN
Organize affinity Club" to Secure
WiVcs-Ask Girls to Em-
igrate.

SPOKANE, Wash, Oct. 11.-De-
signed to solve the problem of the
scarcity of marriageable young wo-
men in the Pacific northwest is tie
Spokane Affinity club, just organized
by twenty-three bachelors under 80
years of age.
President Brown of the club said
at the close of the organization meet
ing:
"The purpose of the club is to pro-
vide wives for the eligible young men
of the Spokane country by inducing
the girls to come into the district
There is great scarcity of young
women in the northwest. | am not
overstating the fact when | say that
5000 women between the ages OF
20 and 80 years could find good hus-
bands and comfortable homes in Spo-
kane alone.
"This may seem an extravagant
statement in city of nearly 100,-
900 population, but the fact Is the
young men have come into the city
in such large numbers during the last
eighteen months that there are not
sufficient to go around.
"The first step in the campaign to
bring young women into the country
will be to write to our friends and ac-
quaintances in the old homes in the
middle western, eastern, southern
and New England states and eastern
Canada, urging them to come to the
north west, and then prevail upon
them to write to their girl acquaint-
ances. In this way chain system
will be established and the problem
solved"
President Brown added that any
man between the age of 25 and AZ
years, industrious and of good char
acter and possessed of at least 81 90,
or it's equivalent in realty, is eligible
to membership in the club.

GIANT HOIST
FOR RUTH SHAFT
Greatest Machine Of Its Kind In
America Loaded and Ready
For Transportation.
LIFTS EIGHT TONS EACH TRIP
Five Big Flat Cars Required to Con-
vcy Mechanical Wonder across
the Country.

The largest electrically driven mine
hoist ever built in the United States
has been constructed by the Denver
Engineering works, and Is now ready
for shipment to the Nevada Consoli-
dated Copper company, for installa-
tion at the shaft of the Ruth mine.
This hoise has capacity of eight
tons per trip, it's rope speed is 1900
feet per minute, and the horsepower
required for it's operation Is 1000.
The motors which will operate this
gigantic piece of machinery have
been manufactured by the General
Electric company. The weight of the
hoist is fifty-five tons and the main
shaft weighs 10000 pounds.
The hoist is of the double grooved
drum type, with capacity of ten
tons rope pull. An immense post
brake, capable of exerting a pres
sure of 1000 tons against the brake
rings is on each drum.
A train of five fiat cars, each fully
loaded, is required for the transpor-
tation of the immense machine, and
it is said that in the shaft alone there
is as much steel as would be required
or 900 sewing machines.
The latest issue of the Denver
Daily Mining Record, which was re-
ceived here yesterday describes the
wonderful machine, which Is consid
cred one of the greatest mechanical
triumphs in mining machinery in the
world. A comparative description of
the machine Is given:
TpnroIiblo n NAV caan thfc iron
monster involves work fully as deli
cate and as accurate as does a high
grade sewing machine, each of the
large gear wheels. weighing eight
tons apiece and having 100 teeth,
is guaranteed by the makers to be
theoretically perfect within the in
intestinal dimension of .002 of one
inch. The automatic machine, known
as gear cutter, employed to do this
work, is the largest machine of its
kind in Denver, and the second larg-
est machine in the United States.
The diameter of each drum Is over
SIX and one-half feet, 1t being large
enough to permit the passage of a
man walking upright through its
bore, while the length of each drum
between fanges is 4S inches. The
steel wire rope used Is crucible
product, one and one-quarter inches
in diameter and extra strong. The
weight of the heaviest piece is 5000
pounds, and the size of the largest
gear is 40 inches in diameter with
12-inch face. To permit of shipping
the frame is constructed In sections,
there being seven pieces to 1t.
The hoist is one of an order of two
machines, both for the American
Smelter securities company. The
second machine will be placed in the
mines of the Cumberland Ely Cop
per company, also at Ely, New. 1t
will be ready for shipment in about
one month.

BIG SHAFT GOING
DOWN ON VETERAN

An immense four-cOmpartment
shaft, one of the largest if not the
largest in the district, is being sunk
on the Veteran. This shaft has now
attained sufficient depth to permit
the placing of the first set of tim
bers. The shaft is eight by twenty,
five feet in size, and until it has gone
down far enough to permit the use
of modern machinery, windlass and
whim will be used.
When a good working depth has
been reached, steel hoist similar to
that on the Star Pointer will be in
stalled. The new shaft will be the
hosting point for the entire Veteran
group. A large force of miners is
now engaged in making an upraise
to meet the sinking gangs.

JEWS GO TO FUNERAL
AND THERE MEET DEATH

ODESSA, Oct. 1.-THE United
Unionists of Odessa continued today
their attacks and outrages on Jews.
They began by surrounding the He
brew cemetery, where funeral SER
vice was going on. They stoned and
then fired a volley of revolver shots
at the mourning Jews, many of whom
were wounded. The Jews fled in
panic. Members of the Black Hun
dred divided themselves into small
groups and ransacked several Jewish
shops, mercilessly beating the propri-
etors. A police sergeant who at
tempted to intervene was brutally at
tackled, whereupon he drew his re-
volver and killed one of his assail'
ants.

No MONOPOLY IN
Dill AND FUEL OIL

A report will be presented in the
House today from the Health and Po-
lice committee which will. if adopted,
kill the measure introduced ito regu-
late and provide for the inspection,
testing, storage and sale of petroleum
and its. products, and other expfo-
sives." The report is particularly can
did on the monopoly which would re-
suit from the passing of the Petroleum
Bill, saying:
After a careful examination of this
bill, and the hearing of a quantity of
testimony relating thereto from those
both advocating and opposing the
same, the weight of testimony is de-
cidedly in favor of the law as it is.
The passage of this bill would create
d monopoly in the oil and fuel oil
trade. We have too many monopolies
here already for the public good and
don't want any more of them. Your
committee has learnt of no reason why
the present law should be changed,
and therefore recommends that consid-
Grafton of this bill be indefinitely post
poned."
