The growth of the Pennsylvania is
doubtless at great cost, but the
cost does not compare with the cap
ital of the Wabash, the c., III. & ID.
nor the Reading. Those billions of
tons of freight represented are merely
fruit of investments made by the
Pennsylvania two. three, four and even
five years ago. The investments cost
much money. These investments are
paying in two ways, on the dividends
of stock purchased, and by the crea-
ton of new freight business.

LITIGATION AT AN END
Dispatch from Cincinnati Says that
Bradford's Roads will Now Have a
Through Route from Queen City to
Chicago.

Cincinnati, Feb 2S-Confirmatiou
was secured here of the report that J.
p. Morgan had agreed TO compromise
the suits instituted by w. A. Bradford,
president of the Chicago, Cincinnati &.
Louisville railroad, Rudolph, kley-
bolte and other owners of that proper
ty, and that the complications grow
ing out of the breaking up of the great
central system is to be definitely set
tied.
1t was authoritatiyely stated that
papers are now being prepared in Gin
cinnati, which will provide for an issue
of s400,0 receivership certificates of
the Pere Marquette and Cincinnati,
Hamilton & Dayton, which are to be
turned over to Messrs. Bradford, kley-
boIte and Fernald, owners of the Chi
cago, Cincinnati e Louisville in con-
sideration of their surrendering to
Morgan the $3,500.0O0 collateral trust
bonds which were made a special issue
for the purpose Of reimbursing Brad
ford and others for the Chicago, Gin
cinnati & Louisville.
Will Settle for $4oo, 200.
This means that Bradford and 9TH
ers will settle their entire claim for
$500 900, practically cash and that the
$3,50O.0OO trust bonds with their ac-
cumulated coupons. will be turned ov-
er to the court through the receiver for
cancellation.
By the settlement, Bradford gets
back his line under full ownership and
the Chicago, Cincinnati & Louisville
obtains an entrance into Chicago over
the Illinois Central The latter line
held off from validating the contract
entered into with the c., c. & l.. I'M
til the friction between Bradford and
Morgan was settled.
The c., C. & l.. will have a through
route from Chicago to Cincinnati with
adequate terminal facilities at each
end enabling the road to exchange
business directly with the Wisconsin
Central on the north and the Southern
on the south.
Three Suits Settled.
Three suits are settled out of court
by this adjustment. The suits settled
are those brought by Bradford in the
United States court at Grand Rapids,
Mich, for the collection of $40 per cou-
pom on large part of the $3,500,O00
collateral trust bonds; another SINH
lar suit brought in the same court by

A NEW RULING is MADE.
Telegraph Operators Cannot "Douhie
Up" and Get off Day.

The Pennsylvania has made new
ruling which will and is greatly af-
fecting the telegraphers in its en-
pIoy, as we'll as a number of other
men who are required to work seven
days in the week in the operation of
it's trains Heretofore Richmond tel
egraphers and train dispatchers have
been allowed to double up on duty
with some other employee, and in that
way get a day off during the week,
but in this way the man who does
double duty is required to work twen-
ty-four hours. The Pennsylvania
officials give as their reason for the
new ruling that in case man works
longer than fifteen to sixteen hours
at the keyboard, he is unfit for duty,
in that he becomes careless and IS SO
completely worn out physically that
the trains are not handled in the best
manner.
In speaking of the matter yesterday
local telegrapher acknowledged that
the majority of the wrecks caused on
the great railroad systems of the
United States were directly due in
most cases to the overwork of train
dispatchers and telegraph operators.
He stated that this was the reason
why the older telegraphers were so
much in favor of the telegraphers'
bill now pending before the Indiana
general assembly, in that it did away
with inefficient operators, requiring
all men at the railroad keyboards to
have a state license, also uniform
hours of labor Although it was nice
he said to have day off by doubling
up on duty, it was not what should be
done owing to the great danger.
y
SMALL PLACES NOT KILLED.
A travelling man from a prominent
wholesale house in Dayton. and who
does large business in the smaller
towns on the interurban lines, said
yesterday that interurbans did not kill
the smaller places as people had been
wont to believe, but otherwise was
great benefit to the merchants as
we'll as residents of the smaller COM
munities. He said:
1T is true that the electric roads
afford cheap and easy access to the
cities, but they also bring more
strangers into the small towns In
addition they force the merchants in
the small towns to compete with the
merchants of the larger cities, and
this cheapens the price on all COM
modities. This doesn't work a hard
ship on the small merchant either,
as he sells more goods than he did
before the prices were lowered, as
the people of his place would rather
trade at home, just SO long as they
can get their goods at prices equally
as low. I visit many merchants To-
Gated on the interurban lines and I
sell more merchandise TO them than
did before the traction lines were
built. My observation is. that inter-
urban lines help everybody"

ELECTS MUCH COMMENT.

The report of the interstate COM
iAerce commission of the block sig
nal systems used by the railroads of
the United States, in which the COM
merce commission condemns the sys-
tenn as it is at present conducted, has
elected much comment among the
officials at the local Pennsylvania
station in that it has been the gen
eral impression among them that the
block system was almost impregna
BILE. In speaking of the matter, a
railroad man stated that the present
block system was the best means of
protection he knew of and did not
see on what grounds the commission
had based its complaint other than
the fact that men were overworked
and did not hold back trains from en-
tering blocks on which there were
others. He said that in case of
freight trains it was of not such vital
Importance, but all passenger trains
should be held back at least five
minutes, in order to give the other
train plenty of time in leaving the
block. Under the present conditions
and long hours of extremely trying
duty, he said, block signal men some
times became careless and he could
see no other reason why the system
should be condemned With the pas
sage of the La Toilette sixteen-hour
bill by the house, much of the pres
ent trouble would be done away with,
in that men in charge on the towers
would under no circumstances be al
lowed to remain on duty until their
work became a burden.

COPPER METAL is LIKELY
TO HOLD PRETTY FIRM

A dispatch over the Pollock wires
yesterday quotes an official of one of
the leading metal selling companies as
follows; Il am not anticipating great
weakness in the position of copper.
The foreigners demonstrated that they
were willing to take an enormous vol
ume of copper at IL and 1917 cents. and
this has necessarily brought many OF
the American consumers into the mar
ket. Business with the consumers is
not good, and consumption has been
materially cut down, but the restriction
in consumption does not equal the re-
striction in output.
Il figure that Is cents will bring in
considerable buying of the metal by
American consumers who have no stock
Of any size on h md, for the consumers
will not forget that the metal selling
agencies have no burdensOme stocks
now to carry, and that they will not
force copper on the market.
There is a time coming when there
will be demand for two pounds of
copper for every pound above ground.
That time will depend largely upon the
extent of business depression. Opin-
ions differ as to this"

MOHAWK LEASERS
STRIKE SENSATIONAL ORE

A sensational find of high-grade has
been made on the Begole lease on the
Mohawk, at Goldfeld. In the bottom,
or 275-foot level, ore that shows gold
without Wetting was entered yester-
day. It is not necessary to have the
rock assayed to know that 1t is high
grade, but one sample from a twelve
inch streak was tested by fire, and it
went at the rate of Sc a pound. This
ore may be from the picked ore of the
streak. The lease has only short time
to run, and the lessees will work with
due diligence to get out all of the high
grade possible in the limited time that
they have TO work.
The Begole block of ground is that
portion of the territory reserved by the
owners of the Kalfus lease when a
settlement and consolidation was
made with the Ish & Sheets lessees. At
the present time the BegOle is shipping
about eighty tons a day, using the in
cline shaft, and above the 165-foot
level, by an arrangement made with
the Mohawk Combination Leasing
company. 1t is of medium grade, and
will probably average $40 a ton as it
is broken down.

SACK|nG ORE
At OLD EMMA
One Thousand Sacks of Fine
Rock Are Now Ready for
Shipment.
MINE is OPENING UP WELL
WITH BIGGER THINGS TO COME
AT DEPTH.

The Old Emma Mines company,
which now owns and is operating the
famous old Emma mines of Alta, the
properties that were the sensation of
the camp in early days, is demonstrate
ing that the ground is rich beyond eX-
pectation. Splendid lead-silver ore,
much of which carries 55 per cent lead
nearly seventy ounces silver and as
high as two and one-half ounces in
gold per ton, is now being regularly
sacked for shipment. There are now
approximately 1000 sacks of this char
acter of ore already stored and ready
for market. and the management states
that mining is progressing at no less
than four different places in the prop
erty. In addition to the metals named,
the ore carries a fine excess in iron,
and there is said to be no finer smelt-
ing product sent from any mine in the
western country.
Ever since operations were COM
menced at the properties last spring,
when the purchase of the mines from
the European owners was Consum-
mated, Manager William GrOesbeck,
who knew the mines in the early days
as he knew his alphabet. has been
gradually cleaning up old workings
and so directing the drills in new di-
rections that he had no doubt Of re-
suits. 1t is now said that he has sue
ceedad in finding considerable of the
rich ore that originally made the
ground famous, and that he also has
the formations peculiarities down so
pat that he cannot fail in his efforts to
open the ore bodies at. greater depth.
The outlook for the famous old Emma
could hardly be brighter than it is this
minute.

STRIKE IS MADE
IN THE WILl0WVALE

Will ]. Dooley received word from
his Willowvale property at Stateline
yesterday that a new shoot of ore had
just been encountered In the tunnel at
depth of $50 feet. No assay returns
had been had, but the letter stated that
there was four feet of highly-mineral-
lied ground in evidence and that it
panned free gold TO beat the band.
This is the third shoot of ore that
has been encountered in driving the
tunnel" said Mr.. Dooley. land I am
now more than ever convinced that we
shall make a good mine there. The
property is not Incorporated; II is
owned by three or four of us. In a
winze from the tunnel level at one
place we have fourteen feet Of ore that
runs from 81 to S11 per ton, while
have selected samples from it that
would run many hundreds of dollars
per ton"
The Willowvale property is located
about midway between the famous
Johnny mine and the property of the
Reuben company, on Rice mountain,
and covers one of the fine assures that
runs into the latter cOmpany's ground.
A few weeks ago the Reuben company
completed it's shaft to the 10O-foot
level. At sixty feet the ore shoot that
had given such good returns nearer

ALSO CLOSES DOWN.

Patrons Of the United States Smelt-
Ing, Refining & Mining company re-
ceived formal notice to cease shipping
late Friday afternoon, and the order
was that no ores would be received
after the date of the notification. This
feature of the order hit some of the
companies pretty hard, as they then
had ore In transit that could not be
stopped, and which would not reach
here until yesterday and today. at the
earliest
What we are expected to do with
ore that is in transit" said the secre-
tary of one of the companies, sis a
puzzle. If we have it sampled il will
be impossible to sell it. If it is left in
fht sampler yards after sampling it
VIII be as good as lost, and If il is sent
back to the mine and unloaded there,
the cost will be considerable. We ex-
pected to get the privilege of deliver
ing what ore was really on the road
but the order says no, SO We are up
against it,
OF course the action of the smelling
company will place the mining com
panies affected where they will be COM
PEELED to lay off all men other than
those engaged in development work
until such time as other markets for
their product can be found. Where
they can do this is prOblematfcaL as
there are few If any smelters in the
country that are not either congested
with ores or without means of MAX
Ing settlement. Between the camps of
Tintic, Bingham and other places that
send ores here to the United States
company, it is possible 1000 men will
be made idle.
Word came from Ogden vest ardav
that the Utah Smelling company had
closed down its 20O-ton plant north of
the Junction City. That is not such
serious feature of the situation I'm
itself, because the plant is a copper
one; but 1t goes to show how narrow
the ore-buying and treating business
is becoming. When the smelters can
not handle the ore it follows that mines
cannot continue to operate profitablv.
