The superintendent of the Daisy Won
der sent down a fine lot of samples this
week which can be seen at the office OF
Davis, Wheeler & Co.
The results from the last assays
taken from the bottom of the shaft in
the Daisy Wonder show hat the values
are increasing with depth and in COM
pairing these samples with former ones
1t can be seen that the formation is rap
idly changing, and the opinion of the
superintendent is that the next fifty feet
of sinking will disclose an ore body
similar to that opened up on the Nevada
Wonder on the 100-foot level.
The road up the mountain to the shaft
has been finished and the new hoist,
which has been on the ground for some
time. is now being installed. h plans
of the provide for a most COM
plete plant of machinery and the Daisy
Wonder will soon be as well equipped
as any in the district. Both Mr.. Mon
nette and Mr.. Davis, long noted for their
exceptional mining acumen, believe that
with the proper amount of development
the Daisy Wonder will become one of
the leading producers of Nevada.
The recent deal, turned by Diamond
field Jack Davis, for himself and as
sociates. has been the cause of consid-
cradle discussion among the big Wonder
operators. as up to the present time the

OIL CHEAPER IN EUROPE.

Washington, Aug. 14.-Further
startling disclosures of the manipu-

Industry by the Standard Oil monop-
oily are made in the report of Her

which charges that in the business
OF selling petroleum products in for

aged for the United States 1913 cents
as contrasted with 6.92 cents in Ger
many, 6.42 cents in the United

BOTH SIDES FIRM.


Portland, Aug IL. - Locally, the
striking telegraphers and the telegraph
companies are organizing their forces
for finish fight. There were two de-
fections from the union yesterday.
Otherwise the situation in Portland
remains unchanged. and the sending
and receiving of kilograms continues
seriously interrupted. The issuance Of
q general strike order by National Pros
ident Small, Of the Commercial Tele-
graphers' union, has served only to
magnify the seriousness of the situation
outside of Portland, since operators who
had before hesitated 20 join the ranks
of their striking associates cheerfully
left the keys yesterday. The result was
to more completely paralyze the tele.
graphic business OF the country.
1t was expected that crisis might
be reached yesterday, but the possibili-
ty OF a settlement seems even farther
removed. No sooner had the order for
a general strike been issued by Presi-
dent Small than the Western Union
officials issued instructions TO all local
managers to refuse to reinstate any
more OF the striking telegraphers.

BEGIN BIG LAND
FRAUD TRIAL
AQed Millionaire Perrin Makes Most
Dramatic Defense.
Absolutely Denies Charges OF Fraud
ard Expresses Great Hatred tor
One Witness Testimony OF VIZ
ness Harlan Is Stricken From the
Records.

San Francisco, Aug. 15.--The gov
eminent Yesterday In the United
States Circuit Court closed iLs Ease
against Millionaires John X. Benson
and DIR. D. Perrin, charged with con.
spiracy to obtain 10000 acres OF
land In Tehama county by fraud
The greater part OF the morning
session was consumed in arguments
over the admissibility of the tesri-
mouv of Wilford B. Harlan, former
ly clerk of the General Land cfiice
at Washington, who in answering
questions by counsel for the govern
ment. confessed that he accepted
5000 from Benson as bride to keep
him informed In advance OF the
prospective opening of the Plumas
and other forest reserves, this money
being left for him In a bathroom by
Benson.
After determined struggle by the
attorneys for the defense, Judge De
Haven ordered this testimony
stricken out because 1t antedated
the period of the alleged conspiracy
between Benson and Perrin.
The case for the government was
closed by the testimony of William
e. Walk, formerly examiner of con-
tracts in the General Land Office at
Washington, who stated that he met
Benson at the Willard house, talked
with him about the Benson and Hyde
land fraud prosecutions and accept
ed from him 'as loan," SIS. The
motion of the defense to strike this
testimony from record was denied.
DR.. Perrin, aged millionaire from
Arizona, took the stand late in the
afternoon in his own behalf. He
strongly denied the testimony of
Charles P. Smell, the star witness for
the prosecution. DR.. Perrin seemed
Indignant against Benson, and when
referring to the land deals with him,
lost control of himself and had to be
called to order. He testified that he
was owner of 100000 acres of land
N Arizona and at one time had $780,
300 acres near Fresno. DR.. Perrin
laid there was no truth in the testi-
mony of Smell regarding the Te-
hama county land deal.

Working Forces Unchanged at Porf-
lard Offices.
Portland, Aug. 16.-With both the
strikers and the telegraph companies
claiming the victory in the local strike,
conditions In Portland are much the
same as they were yesterday morning.
Today ia expected to mark the crisis OF
the trouble and each side announces it's
confidence in the outcome.
Managers OF the telegraph companies
say they have the situation we'll in hand
and that the strikers have lost. On
the other hand the striking operators
say they have the local companies tied
up and the ranks are standing firm.
They Fay the telegraph companies are
using the mails to dispatch their mes
sages and that unless the operators are
taken back at their own terms the pres
emit serious tie-up Of all lines Of bust
ness will continue indefinitely.
A feature of the situation yesterday
was an appeal to the police by Manager
Dumars, of the Western Union, for
protection to messengers hired as
strike breakers. He asserts that strik-
ing union messenger boys interfere ser
iously with those hired to deliver tele-
grams.
Strikebreakers are being quartered
