MINING MACHINERY
WILL BE EXHIBITED
Chamber of Mines contempIates Per.
manent Display In Interests of
Business Houses-To In.
yite Competition

What promises to be one of the most
important moves ever undertaken here
| in the interests of the mining business
is plan discussed at lively session
yesterday afternoon of the directorate
of the chamber of mines One or the
greatest difficulties of the business
houses here having ponderous machin-
cry for mining purposes, as well as of
those concerns having smalled devices
and supplies of various kinds that are
used at the mines and in the camps,
has been to bring their wares properly
to the notice of mining men visiting
Los Angeles. These houses could In
crease their business in Nevada, Ari-
zona, Utah and Old Mexico many times
IL they but had their goods displayed
to advantage in convenient and at
tractfve place that would extend invi-
tations to visitors from these mining
regions. What the chamber now pro-
poses to do is to rent, in the center Of
town, q ground floor and basement
with ample floor space, to be divided up
into smaller compartments or booths.
These booths will be rented to manu-
facturers of machinery and to supply
houses at figure just large enough to
enable the chamber to mtaintain the
establishment properly, with attend
ants, telephone service, club room
facilities and arrangements for hand
ling the CORES pondence of visitors, as
well as a representative collection of
| ores from the different mines of the
southwest. The rooms in view are
bright and need no artificial light and
| is in one of the most prominent blocks
of Spring street. The members OF the
chamber are being asked for their
views and suggestions, and some have
already expressed wish to have space
| reserved for them. Besides aiding In
dividually each of the houses repre-
sented in the exhibition such a depart
lure would prove of vast benefit to Los
Angeles generally in the rapid bounds
with which she is assuming the place
of the great I mining center of the
southwest.
The directors indorsed and accepted
the work of the committee it had ap-
pointed to formulate plans to bring to
Los Angeles. the 1908 convention of the
American mining congress, which will
meet this November at Joplin Mo-, and
are making request of such of the
members as are contemplating becom-
Ing members of the congress that they
volunteer to work in behalf of Los An
geles for the 1908 convention. If this
city is fortunate enough to get the
convention for next year it will mean a
miners week, and such a gathering in
Los Angeles of miners and their fam
lilies as cannot fail to be of benefit to
this city from business standpoint.
| The following new members were
elected: G. A. Burcham, Clarence M
Taggart Los Angeles Brewing COM
pany, G. E. Price, John e. Nelson, Santa
Monica Land and Water company, C.
M Du Vernet, Bartlett Music company.

CHICAGO, Sept. 26.-The city's share
of the net profits of the Chicago City
Railway company for the first six
months ending July 81 will be $278,218,
The information was given yesterday
in the first official statement of the
financial results OF the operation of the
traction settlement ordinance made by
President T. e. Mitten of the railway
company in a letter to John A. Spoor
chairman of the executive committee
of directors
The report shows that the total net
profits for the period are $503.550, and
the companys share $225,34S. These
shares are based on the citys getting
55 per cent and the company As per cent
of the net profits as provided in the
ordinance. During the canvas prior to
the election of April last, at which the
traction settlement ordinances were in
dorsed, the cry was heard that net
profits under the ordinance would be
init profits;" that the company would
see to it that no profits were coming
Mr.. Mitten's letter, a copy of which has
been sent to Mayor Busse and City
Comptroller Wilson, shows that the
net profits to the city from the opera
tion of THE Chicago City railway ordi-
nance will be nearly 100000 a year.
With the Union Traction company
lines, earning 20 to 25 per cent more
than the Chicago City lines, yet to be
brought into the accounting system is
conseryatively estimated that the city
will have at least 81, 100000 year from
! the net profits division.

LANE DROPS
INTO CITY
COMMERCE COMMISSIONER WAS
NOT EXPECTED
WILL INVESTIGATE CLAIMS or
CAR SHORTAGE
OIL Operators and Produce Men vii
Make Complaints and File
Charges Against Rail-
roads

Hon. Franklin X. Lane of the inter-
state commerce commission arrived early
Yesterday morning. His visit to Los An
geles was entirely unexpected and only
those who had been III correspondence
with him knew of his coming.
For several weeks Mr.. Lane has Deen
touring the northern cities of the Pacific
coast hearing complaints fled In Port
land, Seattle, San Francisco and else
where against railway companies for car
shortage. He was expected here some
time In the indefinite future.
When asked yesterday his purpose in
coming to Los Angeles Mr.. Lane replied
he was here to investigate the complaints
made by the Pacific Purchasing company
Of Los Angeles, which claims 1T was
treated unfairly in a shipment of furri-
ture freight from Kenosha, Wis, by the
Chicago & Northwestern, the Union IA
cific and the Southern Pacific railroads.
No more information could be Cleaned
from the reticent commissioner. But
those who are acquainted with other tacts
relating to the interstate commissions
work in this city are of the opinion that
the main reason of Mr.. Lanes presence
here is due to the recent filing of nu-
merous complaints against the Southern
Pacific and Santa F'e railway systems
by angry oil operators. In and about Los
Angeles who claim they are being over
taxed for freightage.
No time or energy will be spared, say
the oil operators, in prosecuting the rail-
way systems before the interstate COM
missioner
Oil Men Have Grievance
Local oil operators do not think Mr..
lanes visit here is prompted solely by
the Pacific Purchasing company's trou-
bles but feel that the time has come
to open the fight against the railroads.
Local produce men are also jubilant
over the commissioners arrival. They,
too, have their grievances. Complaint
after complaint has been filed with the
authorities at Washington on the grounds
of car shortage. The local produce ex-
change, to which all the leading mer-
chants of the city belong, is expected
to take immediate action now that Mr..
Lane Is here.
All day yesterday Mr. Lane was be-
sieged by complaint makers until In
sheer despair he was forced to deny
himself to many callers in order to have
a little time to himself
1t is expected lnat today a number of
interesting facts will develop which will
hep great deal in clearing UP the
pose in coming here.
This afternoon at 1890 Mr.. Lane will
be the guest of honor at an informal ban
quet by the Democratic club, at which
nearly all of the members will be present.
