HUNCH GAVE SENATOR
CLARK VALUABLE MINE

JEROME. Ariz., April 7.-Relative to
the United Verde copper mine of Je-
rome, the story has recently leaked out
as to how Senator Clark first discov-
cred the real richness of the property
A certain New Jersey refinery failed
for large amount and Clark was
obliged to take the concern over to
save himself from loss, he being one
of the largest creditors. In going over
the books he discovered that the re-
finery had been receiving ore from the
United Verde which showed amazing
values in copper, silver and gold. From
that time Clark commenced collecting
United Verde stock, with well known
results. That was but few years
ago, and it is now pointed out that
since then the actual facts as to the
resources of the property have been
yelled in secrecy. For this reason the
keenest interest is now being taken in
the development of nearby properties
whose shafts are sinking in the identi-
cal sulphide beds and are likely to brine
some startling disclosures regarding
values not hitherto made public.

HALF MILLION IS
MARK OF IOWAN
Newspaper Man Believes Los Angeles
VIII Have a Population of
100000 Within Very
Few Years

That more persons from the middle
west will seek Southern California this
year than ever before is the firm belief
of Benjamin Friend, advertising man.
ager of the Advertiser-Gaz of Cres-
ton, Iowa.
Mr.. Friend arrived yesterday in Los
Angeles to paly a visit to his sisters,
who reside in the southwest part of the
city. Thousands of Iowans are now
living in Southern California" said Mr..
Friend, land thousands more expect to
come here when they can sell out their
business or farms.
Iowa is a splendid state and we are
proud of it. The farmers are possibly
wealthier than in any other state in
the country, but California has been so
we'll advertised by those who have writ
ten to their home folks that others are
anxious to see this favored spot"
Mr.. Friend says few of the intelligent
classes are influenced by the earth
quake in San Francisco a year ago,
knowing that Los Angeles is 500 miles
from the scene of the disaster and has
never been visited by any similar
calamity.
Il believe your Development society
will accomplish a vast amount of good
by educating the fasteners in Califor-
MIA history and furnishing reliable data
regarding climate, places to locate and
other informal ton.
Il was in Los Angeles two years age
and I then predicted wonderful
growth" said the newspaper man, "but
was astonished to see the number of
new buildings that have been erected
on your business streets.
II predict a half million population
for Los Angeles within the next few
years."

REMEDY EXISTS
AGAINST HEADS
ILLINOIS STOCKHOLDERS MAY
PROSECUTE
Attorney General Gives Advice Con-
cerning Hartman and Alton
Deal-GeneraI Rail-
road News
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April 7.--Attor-
ney General Stead, in an opinion
submitted to Governor Dineen, ex-
presses doubt as to whether 1t is the
province of the state of Illinois to
proceed against e. II. Hartman and
his assistants for the alleged manipula-
tion of .the Chicago & Alton railroad
properties.
If the state should revoke Hhe COM
pany's charter the loss would fall on
the stockholders, the Hartman people
already having disposed of a large por-
tion of their holdings.
The attorney general concludes that
the best plan would be for the company
itself to seek a remedy for the situa-
ton or even for one or more stock
holders to act. At the same time Mr..
Stead assures the governor that should
he become convinced on further inves-
tigation that the state can relieve the
road conditions he will make the neces-
sary moves.
Notwithstanding his convictions as
to the wisdom of immediate action, Mr.
Stead insists there is not the least
doubt but that a civil remedy exists
against the financiers who have
wrecked this prosperous -ailroad COM
pany and at the expense of innocent
stockholders and bondholders have
gathered to themselves a harvest of
millions of dollars.
Attorney General Stead reviews the
testimony given by Hartman recently
before the interstate commerce commits
sion at New York and from the records
of the Illinois railroad and warehouse
commission obtained the various reso-
lutions, certificates and documents per-
tanning to the Chicago g. Alton Rail-
road company, the Chicago & Alton
Railway company and the consolidated
company, all of which figured in the
manipulations.
The profits made out of the Alton
Ceals by Mr.. Hartman and his assist
ants are placed by Mr.. Stead at $24,-
64S,6OO.
"As a result of this enormous profit
to themselves" he declared, 1.-The rail-
road companies are thrown into hope
less bankruptcy
The Indebtedness of the companies,
as shown by the figures in the opinion,
has been increased to a total of $780,
646,21S since they fell into Harriman's
hands. OF this amount only $22, 500, 900,
according to Harrimans own testi-
mony, says Mr.. Stead, was incurred for
improvements, betterments or extension
of the roads.
"Over $57 900 900 of this Indebtedness, :"
concludes the opinion, "or more than
70 per cent of the entire indebtedness
crsated by this syndicate upon the
properties of these companies were not
p created in furtherance of any legiti-
; mate purpose for which a railroad
company is or can be organized under
the statutes of the state of Illinois"

GIVE NEVADA TEN YEARS;
SHE WILL BEAT THE WORLD

The talk about the cessation of rail-
road building and development because
of the Boyd rate bill is the merest
balderdash.
1t will make a great state of Ne
vada and stimulate railroad building.
New lines will come in and fight for
the trade and the road that hangs back
and refuses to improve it's lines will
simply lose business which will go to
it's rivals. This is the case in a nut
shell.
T. R. Jones, superintendent of the
Sacramento division, has the following
to say regarding the future of Nevada: (:
Give Nevada ten years and the state
will be turning out more gold and 9TH
er mineral wealth than all the rest of
the world. People the world over are
beginning to sit up and take a look
at Nevada. There never was and there
never will be another mining district
like this one. Other mining booms have
been in a large measure fake. The
Nevada booms thus far are only small
part of the pleasant truth. The As, OOC
population of the 1900 census will be
nearer 100000 inside of a year. Old res
idents who have watched the state
stand still for years do not appreciate
the situation
I'm my honest opinion the crying
need of Nevada now is more railroads
Merchants in the lower mining coun-
try even now are getting bulk goods
by express that under ordinary condi-
tions would come in freight classifi-
cation, and they are paying double
rates for the sake of expedition.
II should say that 20 per cent is con-
serVative in estimating the increase IN
the volume of business over any previ-
OuS wear and I anticinate a stiIl great T.
er increase for the present year"-Renc

BOYS ARRESTED ON
SUSPICION CHARGE
Are Believed to Be Members of a Gang
Who Make a Practice of Riding
in Buggies Hitched Near
Chutes Park

Elmer Angona and Nike Schwartz,
both under IA years of age, were arrest
ed yesterday morning suspected of be-
ing connected with the gang of boys
who were arrested week ago charged
with grand larceny.
The gang of seven was arrested on
a charge of stealing a buggy and horse

driving around the city for several
hours returned it to the place from

thought to be members Of the gang.
1t is said by the officers who arrested
them that they were watching horse
and buggy near the CChutes. park evil

ride in it as soon as an opportunity
presented. The boys were arrested and
booked at the police station on a charge
of suspicion,
1t is said by the police there is a
gang of boys in that vicinity who take
a ride in a borrowed rig every Sunday.
According to the police the boys go to
the park and wait until they are able
to get away with a horse unobserved
and ride about the street until they
become tired of it. They then leave the
rig near where they took 1t and walk
off to repeat the action the next Sun
day. After numerous complaints had
been made to the police several weeks
ago the patrolmen of the neighborhood
were warned to keep watch for the
boys. This soon resulted i'm the capture
of the majority of the gang, who were
arrested and charged with grand lar
ceny. When arraigned In police court
the boys were all dismissed TO their
homes and their parents we're warned
TO see that the boys behaved them
selves i'm the future.
The boys arrested yesterday will

A GOOD EXCUSE
New Light DaWns on Woman When
She Learns Police Record of
Her Much Abused
Husband

"Ive come down to see how it hap

1t seems to me the police department
should be able to do something to
protect men when they are on their
way home nights and 1 can't under
stand why holdup men always select
my husband for a victim" said
woman to the desk sergeant at the
police station yesterday.
MY name is Mrs. Crowley and I live
on East Ninth street." continued the
woman. MY husband, Ed Crowley,
has come home four times in the last
six weeks with his face all battered up
and without a cent of his weeks sal
airy. l can't understand it. He tells me
that some one hits him on the head
with a club or something and that it is
necessary to take him to the receiv-
ing hospital. He is always sober when
he gets home Sunday morning, and 1
can't get it through my head
Head Is Split
"He showed up this morning about
o'clock with his head split open and
bump as big as an egg right over his
eye He told me two men had held him
up last night and that he had been
reported the robbery to the police.
Altogether he has lost $5S by these
holdups and / don't know how I am
going to pay the rent"
The desk sergeant thought he could
assist The woman and told her that her
husband had been brought in just four
times during the last six weeks, each
time so intoxicated that he could not
keep his feet, Crowley seems to select
Saturday night, pay night, for his
sprees, but always has enough money
In his pocket so he can go out on bail
early Sunday morning. Every time he
gets drunk, according to the police,
Crowley gets into fight and is gem
orally covered with blood when taken
to the station,
After having this explained to her
Mrs. Crowley left the station, inform
ing the officers that she knew who

BIC STRIKE MADE
NEAR OLD P|OCHE
Rich Body of Silver Ore Is Located on
One of the Nine Claims in
the Famous Lyndon
Group

Information that recalls the bonanza
days of the early '7Os in the famous
Comet mining district of Nevada was
received in Los Angeles yesterday.
In the Storm claim, which is one of
the nine claims forming the Lyndon
group of mines, there has just been
located IN immense body of ore which
assays up to 1924 ounces of silver and
80 per cent lead, or net value of about
$3.50 per ton.
The Storm claim adjoins the original
Lyndon mine, from which a fortune
was taken about quarter of a CEN
tury ago, and it is believed that the
strike which has just been made on
the Storm claim is a continuation of
the immense rich ledge which made the
Lyndon mine famous in years gone by.
The Lyndon group of mines is located
in the Comet district, about nine miles
west of Phoebe, which in four years in
the early '70s produced over $50, ,00O 900
in silver and made more bonanza min
ers than any other single district in
the country.

News of Strike

Col. j. ]. McCardy, secretary and
treasurer of the Lyndon Mines COM
pany, yesterday received word of the
strike from e. f. Prudential, the gem
eral manager, and e. Greenwood, the
we'll known mining man of Arizona and
who is a director in the Lyndon COM
pany Both men are on the ground su-
perintending the work of taking out
ore from the Lyndon in anticipation Of
making heavy shipments as soon as
the branch line from Caliente is con-
structed during the present spring.
Col, McCardy said yesterday that if
further development work on the Storm
claim sustained expectations the COM
pany would not wait for the construc-
tion of the railroad to Phoebe, but would
haul the ore in wagons to Caliente and
ship by rail from there.
In the '70s ore which was no richer
than that which has just been struck
In the storm claim was hauled by team
more than half way from Phoebe to
Salt Lake City, and even with the great
cost Of such transportation an immense
profit was realized.
