natural to presume that big things may
be looked for. =
Mr.. Fiindt is mining man of ex-
perience. He has seen responsible SER
vice in the largest caml of The & asst.
That he came to the Wheeler as general
manager speaks an abiding faith in the
future of that property. He is on rec
ord as saying that he will make divi-
dend payer of it. Certainly, he has
splendid foundation to build upon.

During Mr., Gelder's last visit, few
weeks since. a contract was let Tor sink
ing shaft on the main ledge tota depth
of SO feet. This work has been con-
cluded and it is now proposed 20 con-
tinue the shaft to 100 feet
Several samples of the ledge were
taken by Mr.. Gelder and Mr.. Marx,
each of which showed an average value
of $40 per ton id gold, In addition to a
fair per cent of copper.
The company's. holdings are located
across the Mason range, in the vicinity
of Buckskin. There is every indication
that the vein on which the work is being
done is the same one as cuts through tllcs
Kennedy Consolidated ground and from
which. on the latter, such sensational
values have been obtained.
The physical condition Of the property
bears all the ear marks of making into
mine of large proportions. The COM
pany is financially strong and intends to
prosecute development energeticaily and
consistently.
This was Mr.. Marx first visit to the
camp. He did not hesitate to say that
he was most favorably impressed. Like

enthused over the mining possibilities OF

from mentioning the excellent success
with which farmers are meeting. In an

thinks, to secure as great renown as has
come to it by reason of the wonderful
mineral values that have been uncovered.
The valley, which is about IL miles wide

BLOWN ROUND THE HORN
The Dynomene Was Then Blown Back
Again by a Hurricane.

- San Francisco. Cal. Dec. 27.-After a
voyage occupying $50 days during which
she encountered the fiercest hurricanes
ever felt by the oldest hands on board.
the British ship Dynomene reached this
port. The Dynomene left Newcastle,
England, February Z. Heavy weather
was encountered in the vicinity of Cape
Horn and by May many of the crew
were partially disabled. May 10, the
Dynomene was struck by a sea which
snapped off the bowsprit. The foretop
gallant yard fell through the deck and
nearly killed the man sleeping in the
forecastle. BY May 20, the Dynomene
was helpless derelict and for five days
all hands lived in the cabin. After that
the work of clearing away the wreck
age began and while experimenting
this Captain Proctor was seriously in
jured. The hurricane meanwhile had
blown the ship around the Horn. A
change of wind carried it back and af-
ter weeks of hardship the ship was
worked under jury sail into Montevideo,
where repairs were made. Captain
Proctor was sent home to England
with the second mate, who also was in
jured in the hurricane and the ship re-
sumed her voyage in command of Cap
tain Barry.

Adams Express Co. Plans to
Cancel Creamery Rates.
Files Application to This Effect
With Railroad Board.
USE THE BURLINGTON.
Attorney DOran Says Company
Has Hauled No Cream.
Direct Violation of Agreement
to Await Adjudication.

A new way to raise rates on cream
shipments and to hit the big creamery
plants appeared at the office of the
state board of railroad commissioners
Thursday. The Adams Express COM
pany filed an application to withdraw
and cancel all it's existing cream rates
on the Burlington lines in Kansas. and
charge instead the regular merchan-
disc graduated rates for whatever part
of cream shipment is made over the
Burlington.
This seems to be a sequel to the ef-
fort made some time ago by the rail-
road companies of the west to raise
their cream rates for long hauls. the
avowed object being to build up small
rural creameries and put the big CEN
traltzed creameries out of business.
The railroad companies were enjoin-
ed In several states from interfering
with existing low cream tariffs and
suit was filed before in the federal
courts. A case was also made before
the interstate commerce commission.
and these various cases are still pend
ing.
T. F. Doran, attorney for the Cont
mental creamery of Topeka, when in
formed today of the application of the
Adams Express company, said:
IF the Adams Express company is
really proposing to disturb an existing
rate, 1T is in direct violation of tho
agreement entered into between the
companies and the creameries, to hold
pending the settlement of the pending
cases. The agreement was to allow
present rates to stand until the courts
settle the case. 1t is my understanding.
however, that the Adams Express COM
pany never hauled a can of cream in
Kansas, and that the cream on the
Burlington is all hauled in baggage
cars. The Adams rate is therefore
merely paper rate, and it's Withdraw
al will not affect conditions. However.
1 am not prepared to say that we will
not contest the move, for L think II is
doubtful whether the company should
be allowed to raise a rate, even on pa
per-"
In the letter from ]. Zimmerman of
New York, general manager of the Ad-
ans Express company, to the state
board of railroad commissioners, the
following explanation of the change is
given:
The application is based on the fact
that the rates now in force with US on
milk and cream carried over. said sys-
tenn are in conflict with our contract
with the Chicago. Burlington & Quincy
Railroad company, the latter reserving
the milk and cream trade to itself, and
our present rates never should have
been issued. But even granting that
some of them were issued by special
permission of the railroad company,
that permission is now withdrawn"

New York, Dec. 27.-Two parties
from Panama have arrived in New
York, one, composed of ten dis
gruntled steam shovel men, who
threw up their jobs on the canal be-
cause they thought several of their
fellow employees who had been dis
charged for Incompetence had not re-
ceived the square DEAL, and the
other a delegation of merchants who
are going to Washington to protest to
the president against the government
stores established on the isthmus for
the accommodation of the canal work
ers. The merchants state that the
government stores are selling goods
practically at cost and that they can
not compete with them as they are
obliged to pay duty on everything
they import. The merchants say that
many of the employees of the canal
purchase goods not only for them
selves, but for othe ers. not employed on
the canal. and therefore not entitled
to trade at the government stores.

twenty-one trust companies and TWEEN
ty-nfne state banks of greater New
York have filed their formal statements
While the effects of the recent storm
are plainly evident especially in re-
gard to those few institutions against

the statement as a whole bears teSti-
mony to the quick recovery and the
unwavering confidence of the great
body of depositors. The reports also
show that certain of the state banks
of New York City did their share to-
ward removing the financial situation
in other cities.
They accomplished this by accepting
from the local national banks a large
quantity of clearing house certificates
leaving the national banks in position
to employ their cash in relief of GUS
toners and correspondent in the in

DECIDES AGAINST TEBEAU.
National Commission Awards Pitcher
Campbell to Cincinnati.

Cincinnati. o., Dec. 27.-The issue
between the National baseball COM
mission and the Minor Baseball
leagues was adjusted today, when the
National &C mmission by it's decision
awarded tC, the Cincinnati National
league cluf Pitcher Campbell. one of
the players, who has been declared
blacklisted at the meeting of the Ma
tional ass ociation in New York last
month. George Tebeau, owner of the
Louisville American association team,
claimed that Campbell was still under
contract to him and that Cincinnati
could not secure a valid transfer of
the play ar's services from the Harris
burg cit b of the Tri-state league On
the othe hand Campbell asserted that
Tebeau had not kept his part of the
contrac and that he was therefore
no longer bound by its terms when he
entered the service of the Harrisburg
mana GO ment.
The commission decides against Te-
beau.
The members of the commission
were unanimous in declaring that the
Cincinnati clubs title to Campbell
was Gle ar. President Pulliam of the
National commission, dissented on
that portion of the decision which
deals With Campbell as contract
jumper. claiming that it was sunnec-
essary to go into that detail as Camp
bell wa.' a free agent. before the all
legged &C ntract jumping took place. In
view of the commissions decision. the
blacklist fastened upon Campbell by
the National association of Minor
league clubs grows imperative.

GAME LAW FOR WHALES
Protection for Green Turtles Also Will
Be Demanded.

New Haven Conn, Dec. N.-Congress is
to be asked to establish game laws for
the protection of whales and green tur-
ties. At the annual meeting of the Vert
university a resolution was passed ask
ing congress to prevent the slaughter of
these deep sea animals during the breed
ing season. Prof. G. r. Wieland of Yale
scientific school, who has been studying
the subject for ten years, stated in an ad-
dress that LOCO 900 whales had been killed
in the last 1,0O0 years and that the finan-
cial profit from this killing had amounted
to $272 600. 600. He said the whale is almost
gone and unless he is to disappear alto
gether some means must be found to pro-
tect him. Prof. Wieland also pointed out
that the green turtle is rapidly disappear
ing and is doomed to complete destruction
unless preserved.

LEMPS ARE FIGHTING.
One Brewery Concern That Has Not
"Paid Up"

Charles D. Shukers, assistant attor-
ney general, went to Kansas City to-
day to be present at the taking OF
dispositions by Dawes SS Rutherford in
behalf of the Lemp Brewing company.
The Lemp company is the only one of
the brewing concerns which is fighting
the custer proceedings. All the rest
have confessed judgment and paid up.
The Lemps expect to escape on the
ground that the property used by their
firm in Kansas did not belong to tho
firm. They claim that they had no
agents here. and merely did business
with Kansas jointists direct from the
brewery or Kansas City liquor job
hers.
