New York, March 21.-Tne Amer
lean today publishes an interview
with John d. Rockefeller which it
states was obtained on a train while
Mr.. Rockefeller was en- route from
Augusta, Ca, to Philadelphia, where
he arrived yesterday. In the inter-
view Mr.. Rockefeller is quoted as be-
ing opposed to the overcapitalization
of railroads and other corporations,
and as favoring federal control of the
railroads. OF over-capitalization, Mr.
Rockefeller is quoted as saying:
II think that properties should be
capitalized at only their legitimate
value and If that were done there
would be such feeling of security
in them among the general public
that we iwould find men with a lit
tie money holding highly profitable
stocks instead of allowing it to re-
main at small interest in savings

"The Mills of the Gods" the new
est of the George Broadnurst plays,
seems TO be gaining in favor at the
Astor theater. where it was produced
about ten days ago. The first audi
Ience. was exceedingly enthusiastic,
and the hit recorded was unmistak-
able, But the Aston. which is new
theater. had housed no previous sue
cess of any description, with the re-
suit that the theater-going popu'ace
had not become familiar with either
its identity or its location. Thus the
succeeding gatherings were rather
small, but they grew larger night by
night until Saturday evening the au-
dience room was crowded. Plays
that grow in interest. or at least in
drawing power, are plays that have
the real stuff in them, and this seems
to be the best description of "The
Mills of the Gods"

trail when we are going over a
mountain or through a canyon,
the inference that you are well
aware of the old axiom that the
longest way round is the short
est way home In this you are
wise, according to my way of
thinking, even if you are lack
ing in good sense in many other
respects. With you it is follow
the trail and this calls to my
mind another piece of good adj
vice that all mining men should
heed, and heed well. This is
follow your ore"
This advice is one that old
time mining men should remem-
Der. 1t is not necessary to coun-
sci the tenderfoot what to do in
this matter, as he will hardly
leave a new found ore body to
eat or sleep, and he is so afraid
that he will lose it that he would
like to put it in a bank or Jail to
keep it safe over night; and you
a wager your whiskers that he
will follow it until it has devel-
oped into q great producing mine
or until it has pinched out.
| see that you think that this
is immaterial as TO whether or
not the r body Is followed, or
whether IL is allowed to take
care of itself as it has been doing
ever since your forefathers we're
a cross were a cross between a
jack rabbit and a mountain rat;
but you do not attach the i'm
portance to mining operations as
| do, neither do you realize the
fact that your daily allowance of
barley and SOU dough is depen-
dent upon the success / meet
with in my mining operations;
but | want to tell you that many
a failure in mining is due to the
fact that the claim owner, the
mining company and the mine
owner fail to start right. Per-
chance he has a fine surface
showing which might with de-
velopment prove to be a world
wonder. He is sure that it will
go down and a long tunnel will
catch it on its dip. So sure is
he that this is the case that he
will often start a long tunnel, and
put in many months and expend
thousands OF dollars in driving
it to the objective point Does
he strike it ? you ask. None
whatever; for in nine cases out
of ten the vein has changed its
dip, has been broken by faults,
and when the tunnel is in where
the ore body ought to be, moth
ing is showing but country rock
that looks as hungry as you are
after a long days travel with a
big pack on your back. What is
then to be done is a question, and
to find the missing ledge is like
looking for a needle in a hay
stack. 1t is then back to the
surface again with the claim
owner, and, If he is wise, he will
begin with the + cropping and
follow it down, sticking closer
to it than you do to the inward
side of a big boulder on a cold
and stormy day. This may prove
his salvation, and, if be finds
that the ore is persistent and
permanent, and after he has
stltfened mp his bank account by
the making of several ore ship
ments, he may then arrange for
the further development of his
property by means of a tunnel,
if he thinks he can operate more
economically through such an
avenue.
