Attorneys for the company, il is stated, have
advised that the company cannot legally collect
the extra fare under the new law. Until an
opinion has been handed down by the Supreme

The trains upon which extra fares are col

will be withdrawn In case the law is upheld

PEACE MISSION OF
PRES'T. SMALL FAILS
STRIKE BOARD WILL DEVOTE
IT'S ENTIRE ATTENTION TO
PROSECUTING FIGHT

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-The peace
mission of President S. j. Small, of
the Telegraphers union, who went to
New York a week ago Saturday for
the purpose OF securing a conference
with the telegraph heads, is now be-
lieved to have been failure. Small
sent word to the Chicago leaders that
he would return home probably in a
few days.
His hurried departure from New
York is taken to mean that he has
failed to move the Western Union
and Postal officers and that the strug-
gle must be continued.
Secretary w. Russell admitted that
he had received a long letter from
Small regarding his conference The
local leaders believe that if the presi-
dent has been unsuccessful it will
mean renewed aggressiveness of the
wire struggle. The operators all
over the country are going ahead
with their election of repre- reSentatives
for the Peace Committee, but the un-
ion officers say that the chances are
that the committee will have to be
held in reserve for while longer.
They declare that the strike board
now will devote its entire attention
to prosecuting the fight against the
telegraph companies.

SPANISH QUEEN WEAR|ES
OF CAST|LL|AN ETIQUETTE
Will Visit Her Mother As Soon As
FOrmaIities of Spanish Court
Will Allow.

LONDON, Aug. 30.-Unable to en-
dure her inconsistencies longer, Vic
toria Eugene, the young Queen of
Spain, has just cabled to her mother,
Princess Henry of Battenberg, that
she will pay her visit as soon as the
formalities of the Spanish court will
allow.
The queen has been very depres-
sed lately, according to friends of her
mother, who say the daily letters
from Madrid show how severely she
feels the restraint imposed by Castil-
ian etiquette. If it were not for her
baby, it is said, she would be incon-
solable.
According to the rules of the court
the queen must be attended every
where she goes by her ladies in wait
ing This annoys her exceedingly
and accounts for her recent interest
in golf This exercise and brisk walks
invariably give her a little time to
herself, as the true Spanish lady is
too indolent to exert herself.
King Alfonso has expressed every
sympathy for his royal wife, and just
as soon as their engagements will
permit he will go to England with
her.
Besides paying a visit to the prin-
cess on the Isle of Wight, they will
probably be guests of the Duke and
Duchess of Portland at Welbeck Alb
bey.

GREAT ACTIVITY At
THE NEVADA CON.
TWO STEAM SHOVELS STRIPPING
OFF THE SURFACE AT THE
EUREKA NINE.
ARE RUSHING WORK ON THE ORE LINE
Small Depot Has Been Built at Lane
City--Nlay Use The Garden
Street Road.

There is great activity at many of
the local mines and especially at the
Nevada Consolidated properties. At
the Eureka mine two big steam SHOW
els are being used to strip off the
surface. AS soon as they can get
into the proper position they will
start actual work, and as planned
now will have small engines and some
new cars carrying away the overbur-
den.
At the Star Pointer shaft the men
are beginning to fill in around the
surface and will probably also fill in
the larger trestle at this point.
The Nevada Northern Railroad
company has completed the work as
far as Copper Flat and is now putting
in the sidings so as to handle the
oyerburden. Some buildings at Cop
per Flat have been torn down to
make way for improvements. and the
men are temporarily housed in tents
so as to be close to work.
The new camp at the Star Pointer
shaft will probably be ready next
month. The steel head-frame at this
shaft is finished and they will soon
be hoisting at this point, as the Ruth
hoist is being overtaXed at the pres
ent time. The eXcavating for the
new electric hoist and plant is being
forced ahead as rapidly as possible
Some of the machinery is now being
installed where the concrete founda-
tion has been completed. Several
large ore bins will be put in place.
Most of the timber for the ore bins
has been framed so it is now only a
matter of putting the bins together.
By the time the stripping at the
Eureka is well started there will
probably be four shovels at work
with a large crew of men at each
shower.
The grade of the Nevada Northern
tracks in back of Ely will soon be
ready for one line of rails. The low
er portion is completed and only two
or three small fills are to be made
back of town. A viaduct is being
put in at the west end of Ely so as
to make it safer for travel by teams
that are hauling supplies to the
Mines From all appearances it is
the intention to build a safe wagon
road all along the railroad line.
"A small depot mas Deen Dullt Ill
the western part of Lane City where
two side tracks will be laid so that
ore trains can pass. Sidetracks are
also being put down at Junction City
for the same purpose, all of which
plainly indicate that there will be
great deal of travel over the ore
line as soon as the mines get into
operation. The ore trains will pass
over the high line in back if Ely,
thereby renewing the heavy travel
along Garden stree.
Travel along Garden street has
been very heavy of late, several train
loads of materials being taken to
the Nevada Consolidated mines daily.
1t therefore looks as though the rail
road company will probably need
this track as well as the ore line.

URGE THE PUCL|C

TEL EJEGRAPHERS ADOPT NOVEL
WAY OF FIGHTING THE

One of the means adopted by the

JAPAN PLACES LARGE
ORDER At P|TTSBURG
CARNEGIE PLANT GELS CON-
TRACT WHICH WILL RUN
TO MILLIONS.

PITTSBURG, Aug. 31-One of the
largest contracts ever handled has
just been taken on by the Carnegie
Steel company here, or, rather, by
the Steel Corporation, for its Pitts
burg mills. Japan wants to fix its
railroads up and has let the contract
for about $1,S00,000 worth of steel
rails and bridge work for the main
line of the Imperial railway of ia
pan and it's subsidiary concerns. 1t
is understood that the Japanese in
tend when this stuff shall all have
been placed in position that the I'M
perial railway will show better than
any other road in the Orient.
In addition to this the Japs are
dickering with the Pittsburg people
for a world of equipment, such as
locomotives, steel cars, etc, and it
is estimated that not one cent less
than $3,000,000 worth of contracts
will have been signed when the Japs
have done ordering.
The Homestead and Braddock
plants of the Carnegie Steel company
are already hustling in preparation
for the work. 1t is understood that
the corporation had long anticipated
this order and had been holding in
reserve much stuff which they were
ready to place on cars at moments S
notice, and in this way quite lot of
rails and structural steel will be
started toward San Francisco next
week. 1t is considered a great vic
tory for the structural steel makers
of America that the Imperial rail-
way should have discarded all its
wooden bridges, as it has ordered
heavily for new bridges of steel
There will be 100000 tons of steel
rails rolled in the Pittsburg mills for
this immense contract, and prepara-
tions are already on for 10000 tons
of structural steel at the American
Bridge company, which is also sub
servient to the corporation. There
has been much interest shown re-
garding the rail contract as to wheth-
er the Japs have ideas also on the
Bessemer rail, which has been SO uni
versally condemned within the past
year. Nothing has been given out
about the specifications insisted on
by the Japs, but it is certain that
they have not insisted on open hearth
rails, else they would have given
their contract elsewhere. The Steel
Corporation is not prepared at lnls
time or place to furnish anything like
10000 tons of open hearth steel
rails. From the prices rumored, 1T
is likely that the top notch rates have
been insisted on and obtained.

WILL INVESTIGATE
ABNORMAL CONDITIONS
INOUISITORIAL BODY WILL LOOK
INTO EXCESSIVE COST
OF LIVING.

SALT LAKE, Sept IA grand
jury is to be called to investigate the
abnormal and excessive cost of living
in Salt Lake City.
Three affidavits have already been
secured from grOcers and butchers
here who, as independent dealers and
as members of the Butchers and Gro
GERS association, have felt the heavy
hand of the combination existing be-
tween the retailers and wholesalers
when they attempted through cut
prices to give to their customers the
benefits of large purchases at low
prices.
The decision to ask the district
court for a grand jury to investigate
living conditions here was reached
late Friday afternoon.
The proper person to request the
calling of the jury is the attorney
general of the state, NJ. A. Breeder.
Pressed last night for statement
as to when the request would be
made, Attorney General Breeder
said: II have the matter in hand
and am collecting evidence. One man
came to me today with evidence of
combination, but wanted to find
out before divulging it, where he
would stand as to protection and re-
muneration.
II have the matter of calling a
grand jury well in hand, but | prefer
not to make an announcement until
later"
1t is understood that the three af-
fidavits obtained yesterday afternoon
will be laid before the attorney gen.
eral this morning.
Wholesalers Involved
The wholesale butchers and gro
GERS are getting as deep in the mud
as the retail butchers and grocers
are in the mire. Conclusive evidence
was secured yesterday that a thor
ough understanding and working
agreement exists between the whole
sale and retail dealers for the regula-
ton of prices, sitting of competition
and for the boycotting of all retailers
who refuse to sell goods at "associa-
| ton" prices.
A. Levy, proprietor of the Califor-
MIA fish market here, said yesterday
| that when he was owner of the Inde-
pendent Grocery company in Salt
Lake, he at times sold goods cheaper
than other retailers about town.

BASEBALL PLAYERS
STARTED TO MIX II

There was q short contest at the

the ball, striking Anderson on the
head. Anderson started to mix mat

they were separated. The two men
met on the way to town and shook
hands.
