OBJECT TO
AMENDMENT
TO RITUAL

DENVER, June 19.-An amend
ment to the ritual was offered by j.
E. Colgan of Murray, Idaho, at the
convention of the Western Fedora
tion of Miners which aroused the ex-
element of certain element and
which promises to provoke bitterness
among the delegates. The section
amended reads:
This union exacts no pledge or
obligation from you that conflicts
with the duty you owe to your God,
your country or your fellow man. )"
The amendment adds the line, "Or
in any way interiors with your re-
ligion or political belief"
1t is predicted that the socialist
agitators will fight the amendment
strenuously.
The afternoon session was taken
up entirely in discussing the contract
system. The delegates who are also
members of the Industrial Workers
of the World decry the system which
binds man to work for given time
without the right to demand an in
crease. Other delegates just as
strongly favored the system as tend
ing to keep conditions settled and
prevent repeated strikes.

HYMAN HAD
A FANCY FOR
HAM and BACON
Man Caught In Act of Stealing
Goods Sent to Jail for
Sixty Days.

J. Hyman evidently has fancy
for ham and bacon. AT least II
he had not tried to steal side OF
bacon he would not have been given
term of so days in the Jail. g.
Hyman was caught the other day
beating a hasty retreat from the Me-
10y Mercantile company's warehouse.
He was caught and ham was taken
from him. His captors decided to
give him another chance and turned
him loose after lecture concerning
the results of performing such tricks.
The next day George II. Linsley saw
some one sneaking around the side
of the warehouse, so he made an in
vestigation, AMI 10, and behold! IL 1t
wasn't Hyman again! This time he
had a side of bacon and this time he
was placed under arrest. He plead
ed he was bringing home the ba-
con-" but Justice Cartwright didn't
like the way he obtained the bacon
and sentenced him to serve so days
in Jail.

RICH STRIKE ON
BALTIMORE GROUP

S. G. Weston, who recently re-
turned from a visit to the Baltimore
group of mines, on Lone Mountain,
rs miles north of Elko, reports rich
strike on that property which will
give further impetus to the mining
excitement in this county, says the
Elko Free Press
The strike referred to occurs
about 200 feet from the face of the
tunnel, where particular rich vein
of shipping ore has been encount-
cred. This is copper property
which has been worked for the past
2 years on more than paying ba-
sis. With the steady advance in the
price of copper, the mine has become
more profitable year by year, and
now 1t Is regarded as an exception
ally fine property. 1t Is proposed to
put in power drills for the further
development of the mine, and the
arrival of N. F. Snyder of New York,
president of the Pacific Consolidated
company, which controls the claim,
is anxiOusly awaited. He is expected
to reach here any day.
Encouraging reports continue to
come from Maggie Creek and vicin-
ity, In the neighborhood of Carlin.
Some rich discos series have been
made in the Little Marsh mine, be-
longing to Elko people, and ore run
ming 20 per cent in copper has been
found. This ore carries a fair per-
centage of gold, also.
Every day reports come from Tus-
carora and Aura districts, to the
north, stating that prospectors in
great numbers are entering those dis
tricts, having been attracted by the
remarkable finds of the past month
From Salmon creek comes the re-
port that Ole Elliott, of Goldfield,
has bonded several properties recent
ly discovered, aud that he is also
working several placer claims with
fair results. A miner named Moore
hailing from Tonopah. is also report
ed to have made a big find in the
Salmon Greek region, encountering
ledge which carries gold to the
! amount of 5000 a ton.

DISCUSSED
THE PUBLIC
LANDS LAWS
Secretary of the Interior James r.
Garfield One of Main
Speakers.

DENVER, June 19.-The Public
Lands convention, which met in this
city yesterday for a three-days' ses-
sion, got down to business in the af-
ternoon, listened to addresses by
James R. Garfield, secretary of the
interior; Richard Ballinger, commits
sioner of the general land office, and
Henry M. Teller, United States SEN
ator from Colorado. Permanent or
ganization was effected by the selec-
tion of DR.. ]. M. Wilson of Wyoming
as chairman and Fred P. Johnson OF
Colorado as secretary. The reports
of the committee on credentials, rules
and order of business were made and
the committee on resolutions ap-
pointed.
The first speaker of the afternoon
was Secretary Garfield. He urged the
convention in its discussion of the
present land laws, criticism of
which, he said, had been the cause of
the calling together of the conven-
ton, to confine its discussion to the
effect of these laws on the entire
country and not. on any particular
section of the country.
The public lands, he said, were not
an asset of any locality. They belong
to the people of the entire nation.
He said he wanted to get the point
of view of the people of the West,
and he wanted them to get his point
of view. He welcomed criticism
which was constructive, but he
nj ttnto vu1nf fo11
merely an attack without a sugges-
ton for Improvement was worthless.
Mr.. Ballinger confined his address
to the history Of the land Office and
his duties. He explained at length
present land laws and expressed the
belief that their opponents were
among those who were trying to traf-
fic in titles and not from the small
settlers.
Senator Teller was the first speak
CT to voice the complaints felt by a
majority of the members of the con-
sention. He said they did not COM
plain of the laws, but because the Of
ficials were disobeying the laws. In
speaking of the coal lands he said
that congress alone had the power to
pass on the question of policy in dis
position of these lands and to decide
on what shall be charged for them.
The policy in dealing with agricult-
ural lands should be to get them into
the hands of those who would live on
them. He objected to landlordism,
either by the rich or by the govern
ment.
DR.. Wilson, III taking the chair
just before adjournment, compared
the convention to a stockholders
meeting and the representatives of
the government to the directors of a
corporation.
1t was the duty of the directors to
take their orders from the stOckhold-
ers, and If they did not at the next
regular meeting the directors would
be removed.

WILL SOON
COMPLETE
THE TUNNEL
Work at Keystone Mine Is Progress
ing Very Nicely-Other Min
ing Notes.

The progress of the work at the
Keystone mine is amazing and the
upper tunnel will be completed next
Friday. The work in the tunnel has
been carefully performed and the
job, when completed, will be first
class.
The Robinson company's first at
tempt to drive without timbers re-
suited rather disastrously, as the
tunnel caved In. When the tunnel
in the Ruth claim of the Star Pointer
group is finished, the management of
the work will be turned over to Cap
tain Thomas.
The indications at the Ely Cen
tral are better than they were some
time ago, as the stuff brought up by
the churn drills Is even richer than
was expected. The experts who ex-
amined the ore are greatly pleased
with 1t, and pronounce 1t most salts
factory.
The machinery at the Giroux
property will be In operation in
ninety days. The foundations are
now being put in place.
An order for forty-ton mill for
the Gold Canyon company mines In
the Cherry Creek district has been
placed at Sale Lake by Henry G.
Stuart of New York. Mr.. Stuart is
the general manager of the company
and returned from Salt Lake a few
days ago. The mill will he provided
with Gates crushers, 50-horse-
power gasoline engine, Wilfly tables
and crushers. The crushers and en-
CINE will be of ample capacity for
100-ton mill.
HIP. Saunders of Salt Lake will
direct the construction of the mill
and has planned to have 1t finished
by September Is. Mr.. Stuart will
leave for New York after spending a
week or SO at Cherry Creek and will
return in about three months. He
Is also manager of the Cocomongo,
Gold Canyon Extension, Cherry
Creek and Antwerp Nevada Gold
Mining companies. There are now
two tunnels In Gold Canyon group,
one of which extends in 1900 feet
and the other 1000 feet.
ID. c. Mcdonald, manager of the
Mcdonald Ely mines, states that de-
yelopments are showing a big i'm
provement in the ore. The Golden
Gate shaft is now down $50 feet and
already some fine ore has been en-
countered. Some of the samples run
as high as 40 per cent The mill
shaft has been sunk to distance OF
$50 feet and the formation at that
depth is softer and shows sulphides
of iron.

SEVEN KILLED
IN EXPLOSION
In COAL MINE

SCRANTON, Pa, June 19.-Seven
men were killed outright and two
others seriously injured In two ex-
plosions of mine gas in the Johnson
No. / mine at Priceburg late yester-
day. The first explosion, which oc-
Cured about o'clock, was caused
by the carelessness of doortender,
who, by leaving the door open, al
lowed gas to accumulate in the work
ings. One man was injured as a re-
suit of this explosion. The second
explosion, which resulted in the
death of six meh and the injury of
another resulted from the ignition of
the deadly firedGmp, which accumu-
lated after the first explosion.
About 1900 men work in the
mine. No account was kept of those
who had come out before the explo-
sion, and 1t is impossible to deter
mine until the rescuers return If the
death list Is complete.

SENSATION
BOTH THE FORCES CLAIMED
CONVENTION WAS PACKED
AFFAIR.
CREDENTIAL REPORT SENT BACK
General Hale Urged Preservation of
Forests In Order to Save Water
Supply.

DENVER, June ia sensation
was sprung In the public lands con-
vention today by charges made by
both the administration and the
anti-administration forces that the
convention was being packed. The
antis charged that a number of men
who were not properly accredited
delegates had been given seats. An
order was made to issue new cards
of admission and to see that only
genuine delegates received them
When the committee on creden-
tials reported, 1t was found that 1876
delegates were accedited to Colora-
do, las to Wyoming and the bal
ance of states scarcely 100. Colo
radios representation was later cut
10 396, it being stated the first
figures were an error. Ii developed
that all Colorado's accredited dele
gates, whether present or not, had
been counted, while in the case of
the other states, only those present
were to be allowed to vote. The re-
port was sent back to the committee
with instructions to bring it's report
according to the call of the conven-
ton. This call will be heard the
first thing IN the morning.
f. w. Mondell was the first speak
er at the afternoon session. There
was a demand from some of the dele
gates at the conclusion of Mr. Mon
dells speech that some from the
other side" be heard, and the chair
man called upon General Irving Hale
of this state.
General Hale spoke of the import
ance of preserving the water of this
state for irrigation. The forest pre-
serves the snow, he said, and in this
way 1t becomes a natural reservoir.
Important as the forests are for the
timber in them, they are much more
necessary as reservoirs. He thought
that the work of the forestry depart
ment was of greatest use TO the west.
Delegate Chris Ellerbe of Arizona
spoke in favor of forest reserves.
Ellerbe Is a small cattle man in his
state and said that the forest re-
serve in his neighborhood has been
the salvation of his business. II
is the little man, he said who looks
to the government for protection.
The big man can protect himself.
Judge ID. G. Beaman of Colorado,
was the last speaker of the day. He
told of a number of abuses under
the regulations as they now exist and
are administered. Most of the cases
he cited were minor annoyances due
to great extent to red tape.
The convention agreed that all
resolutions must be ready at the
opening of tomorrow mornings ses-
sion. They will at once go to the
committee on resolutions and will be
discussed later in the day.

SUBURBAN
At Least Seventeen Horses Will
Start-FaVOrite Not
Selected.

NEW YORK, June 19.-At least
II horses, admittedly the best in
training, will face the started at
Sheepshead Bay tomorrow to try for
the rich classic of the American
turf, the Suburban. The track is
fast tonight, but thunder storms are
predicted. The Suburban is a han
Fdicap for three-year-olds and up
ward at mile and quarter. The
purse is $4,000.
Racing experts are divided in
their opinions as to which horse
should be made the favorite-
whether 1t should be one of the
three year olds or one of the older
divisions. 1t is most likely, how
ever, that one of the younger set,
Electioneer or Superman, both of
which have been tried and found to
be not wanting in speed or stamina,
will have the honor. Montgomery,
the Southern horse, and Dandelion,
Flip Flap, Beacon Light, Cotton
town, Running Water and the light
weighted Veil, which will run
coupled in the betting with Super
man, all have many admirers. Only
once since the race was inaugurated
In 1884, has three year old carried
off first honors and that was in 1903,
when Afrikander led a field of ID
horses to the wire. 1t is probable
the field of II horses may be added
to by overnight entries of candidates
eligible to start.
