Will REVISE
ROAD
RATES
Iowa Commission in Ses.
sion Today Hearing
Creamery and Livestock
Mems Objections.
Des Moines Bureau Of
The Ottumwa Courier,

Des Moines, Feb s.
The railroad commission today be.
gan the hearing on the application for
a reduction of the rate on milk and
cream in Iowa and took the testimony
Of shippers and creamery men.
The hearing on live stock rates is
later and also consideration of many
other rates.
Revision Ordered.
A general revision of the entire
freight rate schedules and classifica-
ton of Iowa has been ordered by the
state board of railroad commission
erS.
Announcement of the fact was made
by w. L. Eaton for the board, at the
adjournment of the hearing on live
stock freight rates at the capitol yes
terday evening.
MIR Eaton's Announcement.
In announcing the decision of the
board yesterday Mr. Eaton said:
"The commission is of the opinion
that the request of the railway com.
panies for further time (on the live
stock rate question: is a reasonable
one, but while you are all together we
have arrived at another conclusion
which the commission asks me to
state to you This investigation today
has developed the fact that while
there has been to our knowledge a
great many revisions of classifications
of freight rates in the past years
there has not been any general revis-
ion of the schedules and classifica-
tions in Iowa for good many years
There seems to be a public demand for
something of that kind. 1t is the
opinion of the commission that there
ought to be a careful, scientific and
complete investigation and revision
of the whole subject of freight rates
in Iowa and while the commission dis
likes the burden yet it feels in honor
bound to take up that burden.
1--WE do not want any misunderstand-
ing either on the part of the shippers
of Iowa or the railroads of Iowa. This
commission believes that it occupies
sort of position between the people
and the railroads; that it's functions
are largely judicial and it will ask
from the hands of the shippers and TIE
people and the railroads every possi-
bic piece of information that it can get
for the purpose of doing the exact
right to ali interests We do not want
the people to understand that we are.
so to speak, going after the railroads,
nor do we want the railroads to under
stand that we propose to do anything
but what is exactly right. We may
err in Judgment. but we will give you
the best that we have.

raw cotton exported to Japan from
the United States in the fiscal year
will aggregate approximately $50 mil
lion pounds, valued at approximately
Is million dollars, which will, how
ever, be slightly below the figures of
1905, in which year the total guam
tity of cotton sent to Japan was 168
million pounds, valued at practically
II million dollars.
The United Kingdom is by far the
largest purchaser Of American cot
ton, the total shipments to that coun-
try in the year about to end being
likely to considerably exceed 2 bill
lion pounds, with value Of consid-
erably more than 200 million dollars.
Germany ranks second, and the value
of cotton exported from the United
States to that country during the
year will exceed 125 million dollars,
while to France the total will proba-
bly, not exceed 60 millions, to Italy
the total will probably be little over
30 millions, to Spain approximately
Is millions, and to Japan, as already
indicated, approximately. Is millions.
The value Of cotton manufactures
exported during the year about to
end will fall considerably below
that Of the fiscal year 1906 and be
somewhat less than that Of 1905. This
falling off occurs almost exclusively
in the trade with China, to which the
exports Of cotton cloths from the
United States for the ten months for
which statistics are available have
been but little over million dollars,
against 26 millions in the correspond
ing months Of 1906 and 21 millions
In the corresponding months Of
1905. This decline in the movements
of cottons from the United States to
China is largely due to the large ac-
cumulations of surplus merchandise
Of this character already in existence
in China, this surplus being due to
overimportations in the year immed-
lately preceding the close Of the war
between Japan and Russia.

Power Plant Assured.

Wednesday morning Messrs. Monte- verde, Butcher, Tracy, McCabe and Roberts, representing the Desert Pow CT and Water company, arrived in Kingman and made an examination of the proposed site of the big power plant. Two of the gentlemen returned to Los Angeles, while the others are looking over the ground here and at Goldroad. Ground is to be broken for the plant the first of the week and as soon as the cement arrives the work of setting the foundation for the build ing will be commenced. The gentle men assured us that all the machinery had been ordered and the boilers and engines would be on the ground insio e of sixty days, while it would take more time for the other machinery to be brought in. The plant will be one of the largest in the territory and will be so constructed that it can be added to at any time.

 w. c. Foster, territorial examiner,
 is in Kingman looking after the as
 sessment of mines under the new law.
 Mr. Foster has been busily engaged
 the past several months getting blanks
 and other paraphernalia in shape for
 the effective assessment of the big
 mines of the territory and instructing
 assessors how to. prepare the rolls for
 this class of assessment. Under the
 new law and the action of the terri
 torial board in the matter of raising
 the assessments of railroads the ap-
 praisement of property in this terri
 tory will be added to many millions of dollars this year. Mohave county will
 be greatly benefited by the new mine
 tax law, the assessment of producing
 mines being more than doubled. The office of territorial examiner is one of the most important in the territory and Mr. Foster is filling it to the sat isfaction of the taxpayers.
 The Mining World states that the Benedictine Mining and Milling con- pany, now operating at Cedar, is to put in an electric road from Yucca to the mines and mills, distance of twenty-eight miles. The company has forty claims in the group and are op- erating the Arnold properties. The mill has capacity of l50 tons daily and is to be increased to LOGO tons. At present amalgamation, cyanidation and concentration is used in the re- covery of the values in the ores, which are composite in character. A tele- phone system has just been constructed from the railroad station to the mines. The company is capitalized for 20,OOG,- O00$, Il, ,000, ,000$ of which is supposed to have been paid into the treasury. The company also owns property near Prescott and in Yuma county at Kofa, which latter property is to be equiI- ped with mining and milling machir- cry in the near future.
 Judge O. H. Aikine, accompanied by Dexter T. Sapp, of Gunnison, Col, ar rived in Kingman Sunday last and made an examination of the Bimetal group of mines, south of Kingman. The gentlemen have also examined the water supply of the camp and be- lieve it can be materially increased. When sufficient water is obtained to handle several hundred tons of ore big milling plant will be put in. A force of men are to be put in the mine and water development right away and things will be made to hum. The mine is one of the largest bodies of low grade ore in the territory and no mine can be found more con- situated for mining and mill ing purposes. The Santa Fe railroad runs over one corner of the big vein and the water channel is but three hundred yards away. With this biz property producing bullion Kingman will enter upon prosperous era. Mr. | Sapp departed Wednesday last to Chicago to look after important busi- ness, and Judge Aikine will remain nere to get things in shape for active work on the properties.

The big auto truck, in use at the Cedar mines in hauling ore from mine to mill, met with an accident last Saturday. The stearing gear be- came detached while the truck was going down the hill below the mine and went over the grade, where it was recovered this week and again placed in commission, little the worse for the accident.

Last Saturday General Manager J. M. Moore, of the Golden Star mining company, brought in bar of bullion from the Gem mill that weighed 4,OOOS. Owing to the inadequate smelling fla cilities the company was unable to re- duce all the retort bullion on hand, but the balance will be melted into the next bar shipped from the mill. The bullion was taken from the plates in short run of the mill. After the extraction of all the free gold in the ore the pulp passes over the concen- tration tables, where good grade of concentrates is made. The company is shipping about two carloads of con centrates weekly. In the Gem mine the stopes are full of ore of better grade than that taken from the dumps, and which yields more free gold on the plates. The company is working a force of men in the property and are preparing to work a larger tonnage of ore through the mill.

The company has a group of mines that can be made to furnish ores far beyond the capacity of the present milling plant. The veins are large and continuous ore bodies exist in them. The property is in good hands and the shareholders may be assured of the best of manage ment.
