ROADS ARE KICKING
AgaiaSt AntiRailrOad Legislation
Of VariOhs Statess
RECENT RATE REDUCTIONS
Annual Reports ofThree leading Rail
road Companies Deal With the Re-
cent Legislative Measures Passed by
Several States.

New York, Oct. S.-Compla1n:s
against anti-railroad legislation OF va !
rious states characterize tie annual
reports Of three railroad companies
which have just been issued.
The roads are the Atchisoh, Topeka
and Santa Fe, the Wabash and the
Chesapeake and Ohio. President Ed
ward 2. Ripley, Of the Atcnison, says
of rate reductions:
1T is hoped and believed that the
public will soon realize that It's re-
cent attitude toward railroad dom-
panies In general has not been Just to
their stockholders and bondholders,
and also that unless the confidence
of investors In the security and sta
billty OF railway Investments Is re-
stored, 1t will be impossible TO obtain
the additional railway facilities which
are necessary to the development OF
the country"
President Ripley added that d1rec'
tors have suspended various extern
sive projects which were contemplat-
ed and will limit the coIlpanys capt.
tai expenditures to the o,mpletion OF
improvements to which the company
Is already committed.
President George w. Stevens Of the
Chesapeake & Ohio says;
1T would seem to be to the interest
OF the communities and~people serv'
ed by Its (railroad) lines that the rev
enueS should not be lessened or the
credit injured by further reducing
rates that are now mad eQqate to meet
the physical requirements Of the prop
erty and yield the retarn which share
holders may rightfully and reasonably
expect" -
President Frederick A. DelanO, of
the Wabash, speaking Of enactments
OF two-cent passenger laws of Iowa,
Indiana, Illinois and Missouri says:
While these laws have not been
effective during the fiscal year and
we cannot therefore determine &C
curately their results, It Is clear that
they must. II reuIaining In force, Sc

cuss various technical features Of the
cotton business, II adopted by the
present cotton congress and put into

The Egyptian form Of cotton bale

The other changes include baliDg at

more equitable tare and uniformity In

is taking definite shape.
Stability of price Is favored by the
representative brewery branch of the
cotton industry except the delegates

by cementing closer relations between

They started for the Orient In March.
The document Is dated from Talas,

The party reports that everything
has gone fayorably and that the re-
suits obtained in comparatively well
known Asia Minor promise far greater
returns In the region OF the Eupnra-
ties. The Cornell men have fixed
the principal sites by the compass and
trocleanter, have collected fninscrip-
lions and found many new ones. They
have examined and relocated many
classic sites and they have collected
over three thousand pottery sherds.
They declare that in the light Of the
material collected some of the most
wide views in regard to the earlier
people OF Asia Minor and their connec-
tions will have to be modified or
abandoned. They found that the maps
OF the Assyrla Babylonia region are
very defective, and many Of them are
worthless. Important discoveries

TRY TO CHECK SMUGGLING.

New York, Oct. 9.--The Diamond
Import ers' Association has been try
Ing for some time to check smuggling
which has assumed colossal proper
lions, according to a report just made
by Ludwig Nlssen, the chairman OF
It's customs committee. Nearly all
the smuggling, according to the Inn
Porters, is being done by wealthy tour
lists, because dealers regularly In the
trade do not care to take the risk. -
Necklaces Of pearls, diamonds
rubies and emeralds and hand wrought
ornaments In exclusive designs are
the articles most commonly smuggled &.
The value Of jewelry smuggled each
year Is estimated at between 81 OOO,'
900 and SO, 900, 900.
The report ask that smugglers cap
tured in the act be punished more Wig
orously in the future. Heretofore II
has benerally been the custom simply
to seize the struggled article and per
init the smuggler to so free.
The. specific request that the impor'
ters now make is that the federal au-
thorities enforce a section OF the law
that requires offenders to pay the gov
eminent "a penalty triple the value
OF a Struggled article, while the ar
tlcle Itself Is forfeited.

NEW NEVADA WILL
SURPASS THE OLD

For many years the Nevada mines
yielded 100000, 900 annually. She
promises to renew the old program
next year and to increase upon that
for several years to come. Her new
districts are getting to the real pro-
duction point, while several of her
old districts are developing wonder
fully. Eureka is doing better thar at
any time since the eighties; prepare
tions are going on to give a new and
wonderful lease of life to the old
camp of Tuscarora; Silver Peak, the
wealth of which has long been known
but because of its isolation and want
of water has remained unexplored,
will in the next six .weeks be reducing
600 tons of ore per day with a first
rate prospect of doubling that amount
in the early spring. The district now
has ar abroad at its doors and an
abundant water supply. Old Phoebe
is getting into producing form. apt.
McSherry's new mill will be running
soon after the reailroad reaches there,
while thousands of tons of shipping
ore are awaiting that same road.
There is extensive work going on in
old White Pine, and in the same coun-
ty, Ely, with every stroke of the pick,
is adding to the assurance that it will
be the biggest and most permanent
copper camp in the United States.
North of Tuscarora, in the old
Mountain City district of gold, the
mines are yielding better than at any
time since the seventies.
The Glasgow and Western has for
several years been developing its ore
bodies until probably it has more ore
in sight han any other company in
the West. Except for the trouble of
getting coal, the great works of the
company at Goleonda would be in full
blast. By the way, in those works the
McQuiston concentration is installed,
which is the simplest and most Won
derful machine ever devised.
But the new camps are attracting
the most attention-Goldfeld, Tono-
pah, Bullfrog, Yerington, Wonder.
Manhattan, Fairview, Round Noun
tain, Seven Troughs and many others
are all showing splendidly and the
promise for next year is filled with
nope. Nothing so wonderful as Ne
vada's re-awakening was ever seen in
the mining world.
The state lay almost in a coma for
sa years, until the Tonopah discov.
cry turned attention this way once
more, and since then a veritable trans
formation has taken place.
The state suddenly resumed its
place at the head of mining state and
she promises to hold that position
unless o%vertaken by Utah-for an in
definite term in the future.
Sfaon and unfnmnhIIaC haVn ami
