ing stocks. bonds, or other securities
of such lines; but 1t is already well
settled as contrary to public policy to
allow railroads to acquire control over
parallel and competing lines of trans
portation. Subject to first giving to
the government the power of supervis-
ion and control which 1 have advoca-
ted above. the law should be amended
so that railroads may be permitted and
encouraged to make traffic agreements
when these are in the interest of the
general public as we'll as of the rail-
road corporations making them. These
agreements should of course be made
public in the minutest detail, and
should be subject to securing the pre-
vious assent of the interstate com
merce commission.
The movement to regulate railways
by law has come to stay The people
of this country have made up their
minds-and wisely made up their minds
to exercise a closer control over all
kinds of public service corporations
including railways. Every honestly
managed railway will gain and not lose
by the policy. The men more anxious
to manipulate stocks than to make the
honest are the only ones who have
cause to oppose it.
We who believe in steady and healthy
progress stand unalterably for the new
era of the widest publicity, and of fair
dealing on the part of railroads with
stockholders. passengers, and shippers.

JESSE KNIGHT
At HEWHOUSE
Popular and Successful Provo
Operator Heads Company
With Large Holdings.
INDIAN QUEEN AND LELAND
ARE THE MINES TAKEN OVER IN
THE DEAL.

There was talk here several days ago
to the effect that Uncle Jesse Knight had
taken hold of property in Beaver county
and that he would soon be a near neigh
Dor of Newhouse Mines and Blackbird
companies. An effort was made to get
at the business, but no one who could or
might have given authentic information
would say word. Yesterday the word
came from Provo that an important deal
had been contaminated in this city as
long ago as Thursday last that insured
the entry of Mr. Knight into the camp
of Newhouse and the Inauguration of a
progressive campaign of development OF
most valuable territory.
On Thursday the stockholders OF the
Indian Queen and Leland companies, the
combined holdings of which aggregate
thirty claims at Newhouse and adjoining
the possessions of the Blackbird COM
pany, met in this city and agreed 10 sell
the properties to the Indian Queen Con-
sOlidated Mining company. The otf!cers
of the new company are Jesse Knight
dent; r. L. Allen, secretary and treas
urer; the other directors being DaVlu
Evans and Jacob Evans.
Large quantities of ore have been Ia
ken from the mines turned over to the
new company in years gone by, and IL Is
known that the campaign of development
that has been carried on at the lndIah
Queen by Lorin Morrison and at the lie
land by David Evans during the past
year, has been of a nature to practlcaily
demonstrate the worth of the mines, the
first at depth below the older workings
and at the latter from the outcrop of the
veins Now that the properties nave Deen
merged and a powerful company mas peer
organized to operate them, rhere VIII pe

EAST CROWN POINT
BEGINS TO SINK SHAFT

J. W Reese, superintendent of the
East Crown Point cOmpany's propertv.
was IN the city yesterday purchasing sup
plies, tools, etc, with which to begin the
real campaign Of development on the
ground Before coming In he put a crew
OF men to work breaking ground for a
shaft and he is confident that he will
nave good news to report before he has
attained any great depth in the shaft.
For several days Mr.. Reese has been
prospecting the surface with a view to de-
termining the most likely place to sink
and he states that he has decided to 90
down on a quartz OutcrOpping in the Dor
phyry that looks better to him than any,
thing the Colorado had at the surface to
determine its line of development work
and he knows, for he was doing all the
asSayfng when that ground was being
prospected. None of the surface rock
there gave returns of over r-yo ounces in
the fOur-foot ledge that he is going to
sink the shaft in on the East Crown
Point is well sprinkled through with mi
mute particles of iron pyrites and ASSAYS
80 ounces silver and 80 cents in gold per
ton.
Where the shaft has been started Is
right close TO the east side line Of the
claim, the Divide, and the showing is
every whit as good as anything disclosed
on the surface in that region
we are not claiming that the East
Crown Point is going TO make a mine
said Mr.. Reese. but we do claim that we
have the right kind of material-the same
kind that has made mines in some of the
ter il, anyway. and I am sure that any
body else. with a knowledge of condi-
tons in that part of the district, would
do the same thing"

BECK TUNNEL STILL IN LINE


In the list of dividends given above, all
from Tintic companies and all posted yes
terday, will be found the real secret OF
the life that has characterized trading
in Tintic stocks during the past two
months. Added to these figures should
be the declaration of the Uncle Sam COM
pany, which posted &c a share, or $4,000,
earlier in the week, sum that would
advance the total to S2O3 $50, ordered paid
by Tintic mines during the past three
days.
There are some welcome surprises in
the list for this month 1t had been
feared that, owing to the expenditures
of something like $4,000 for new ma
chinery and equipment, the Beck Tunnel
company would pass its August distTI-
button. In fact. the market price of the
stock took a tumble a couple of weeks
ago in anticipation OF that very thing.
But IL was not necessary. Besides. the
regular production of the mine, which
has been at least normal, the report has
come from what is considered reliable
authority that a big strike has been made
III the north drift on the tunnel level.
From what can be learned it appears that
the fiSSuTe or fracture in the lime car
fying the ore recently began to rise at
a small angle above and away from the
drift level, and the latter was advanced
some distance without having any ore.
y raise was made, according to report,
anu the OTe-D6dIlUB channel was tapped
again during the week thus insuring the
continuity of the ore in the north direc-
ton.
Surprise No. 2 came in the announce
nent OF the Grand Central company of
&C a share, instead of 4c as paid in July.
That will have a stimulating effect. also,
but that is not all

appears to be doing even better than its

Modena, Aug. 10.-The most authentic
information Obtainable from the old fields
IS somewhat deprecatOry in character.
The oil Is certainly not what was claimed
for it at first Certain samples which
reached MOdena at the outset were GER
tainly not the same oil that is reaching
here now. The first samples shown here
gave evidence of being Illuminating Oil,
and undoubtedly some of John d. Rookie
fellers refined product was in evidence.
Subsequent samples show the oil to be a
common lubricant with an asphalt base
and SO slow of ignition as to be practical
" yalueless as a fuel oil.
However, in justice TO the Virgen oil
field in general. and in connection with
the state exhibits of both the crude and
refined products that have been exhib-
tied at the state agricultural fair for the
past few years, and which We're made
from different portion of the field judg-
ment should be suspended TO some extent
pending the results which will ensue upon
the efforts of the promoters in and about

Boston, Aug. 1O.-The market became
panic-stricken again today, and the break
was sharp. with no pTetense at a rally.
The big interests apparently are tipping
out stocks and making no attempt to hold
prices. Unless something is due over Sun
day, we shall have much lower prices next
week. The coppers are acting better than
the railroads, but they are very weak.
