BALAKLALA HAS 45O MEN AT
 WORK
Men Save St5o,OO0 Worth of Property From Fire and Re- ceive $500 Extra Pay As A Reward For Effort.

Boston.-Our California cores pondent sends us the following as D the Balaklala situation:
 There are now employed at the mines l6e men and about 300 in smelt- CT construction The shifts under ground total 40 men aud the rest are employed on the outside as graders, machinists and carpenters. R. N. knows his business.
 The cable is now being strung from the smelter to the mins and will he completed about the 10th Q; October zhen the buckets will be strung and that places the mine in B shipping condition.
 The buckets are already at Cn-am, so the mine will be ready at least three months before the shelter.
 The recent fire was very nearly a disastrous one, as only the grand work accomplished by all hands saved the bunkers and other works. aggre- gatsng in cost S150.000 In recogni- tion of the work so done the com pzny has posted notices telling the men that it is thankful and crediting each man with two days extra pay This will eat up s900. but creates a splendid impression.
 The underground force at the mine is blocking out and is only at pres ent handling waste. but 1t will be more than ready to deliver all that the smelter can reduce.
 Now. as to the shelter completion Some pretend to believe that it will blow in late in October. I have said that I do not believe this will event uate until next spring, but I do not say this authoritatiyely. As soon as the heavy rains commence I expect all construction work will be delayed and the present price of metal is not an incentive to quick installation.
 The smelter plant, of this company, the substantial developments at the mine, and the extensive valuable holdings of the company are import ant factors in the situation locally, and we all know that the immense copper deposits will pay well to han de. Apart from any stock market quotations the outlook for this com pany is among the brightest in north ern California

Boston--A representative of one of one of the larges. copper wire manu- lecturers in the United States says:
 Even though the wire business has fallen off appreciably from the volume of the early months of the current year. we are at present turn ing out manufactured product at a rate equivalent to the past ten years average
 Since the announcement of a new base price of Is 1-2 cents a pound for wire we have taken on some new bus mess. but not in any great amounts. 1t stiii remains question Of the price of money, and so long as traction companies and other users of copper wire are unable to secure sufficient funds. 1t will be impossible to work up much new business.

 The market is practically at standstill and there is very little change in figures from those of the past few days. The eastern markets are dormant and the curbs are acting 3n keeping with the big markets. There has been a good local demand for Dem which has beel coihing out all day around $500 and We consider it a buy now if t ever Is. There is also some demand for Wolverine & Arizona.

2-Cenf Fare Pays Vep Haben
Well, Wellen Says.

| am also reliably informed that the
receipts Of the st. Louis Union Depot
are larger for the same months this
year than in 1906"
In spite of the frequent statements
made that the New Haven would be
forced to suspend improvements to
make its sheets balance as soon as
it adopted the two-cent fare, Presi-
dent Mellen shows that tremendous
improvements have been made with
in the year.
The gross earnings we're $55,60, :
936, against $52,984,322 for 1905.
The gross expenses increased seven
per cent, but Mr.. Mellen does not
attribute this increase to the reduced
passenger rate. Instead, he says it
was due to increase in wages, cost of
material and an increase of 25 per
cent In the per diem rate for the use
of freight cars, against which the
company Indignantly protested.
Net earnings of the company's $
street railroads this year were $3,-
619,999; from steamship lines. $685.
127, and income from other sources,
$2,O77 ,874, making the total income
for the year $24,080,755. Deductions
from income this year were $15,1S7,.
ia, as compared with $9,752,115
last year, and net income this year
applicable to dividends $8,893,041
as compared with $1O,185,377 last

HOW PANAMA CANAL ADVO-
GATES DEFEATED THE
NICARAGUAN SCHEME.

A very warm friend of the late
Senator Morgan, a gentleman who has
been associated for a long series of
years with journalism, mentions some
very interesting facts concerning the
Isthmian Canal connecting the two
great oceans. In referring to this
great work he said recently:
"It is well known to the public
and to observers generally that in the
beginning it was the impression Of no
few of the leading statesmen, scien-
lists, military, and naval men and
others who had given much thought
to the subject that at some time or
other canal would undoubtedly be
constructed. Not only Senator Nor
gan and a great many men in his par
ty, but large majority of the Re-
publicans favored a Nicaraguan
route, and it was after a long and
careful consideration of the subject
in the Senate that that body passed
what was known as the Nicaragua
bill.
"There was also very strong en-
listment in the House among the lead
ing Representatives in favor of the
measure as it passed the Senate. Es-
peeially strong was the support given
to it by Mr.. Hepburn Of Iowa, chair
man Of the Interstate Commerce Com

Law Vetoed by Gov. Hughes Proves
BY Experience to Be Success.

President Charles S. Mellen, Of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad, officially admits in his an
nual report that the two-cent passen-
ger rate has proved paying PROPOSE
ton. During the year since its in
stallation Mr.. Mellen finds that the
gross earnings of the New Haven
have increased per cent.
In New York State the bill calling
for the same two-cent fare which Mr..
Mellen finds so successful was vetoed
by Governor Hughes after it had
passed both houses. The Governor
gave as his reason for the veto that
the two-cent rate was unfair to the
railroad corporations, saying:
"Injustice on the part of the rail
roads toward the public does not jus
tify injustice on The part of the State
toward the railroads.
\ Upon the same subject of railroad
rates the Independence League last
Saturday incorporated this plank in
its State platform:
"While we commend the Governor
in this respect, we cannot but con-
denim his veto of the two-cent fare
bill; measure advocated in the Inde-
pendence League platform, in accord
with public sentiment as expressed
by the legislatures of many States,
voluntarily put into practice by one
great railroad system, and wherever
tested by actual experience, an ap-
proved success both from the stand
point Of the railroads and Of the
public"
Mr.. Mellen's official report to his
stockholders is complete confrma-
ton of the League platform state
ment.
The report thus adds its testimony
to the experience of the New York
Central, which has found the two
cent rate immensely profitable, and
to the Erie, whose increase in passen-
gers carried was 1,383,701, due, as
the officials Of that road admit, to
the reduction Of its communication rate
to the two-cent point or lower.
The New Haven test of the success
Of the low rate fare was even further
confirmed in advance last Sunday in
the statement given to The American
by Attorney General Hadley, Of Mis-
souri,. OF its operation with the
Western lines that have adopted this
rate, the Attorney General wrote:
"There is no question that the
travel has been greatly increased
since the two-cent fare law went in
to effect. l know that the receipts
Of the Kansas City Union Depot in
the months Of July and August were
$4,000 month in excess of the same
receipts for the same months Of 1906.
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-10-10

Inc Fanama interests made out q
very strong case, and it was decided
that before any further action was
taken the committee should ask Con-
gress to appropriate 81 100000 to pay
the expense of sending out a COM
missio nof engineers and practical
business men to examine into the
whole subject, taking in the feasibil-
ity and practicabiIity of the two
routes-the Panama and Nicaraguan.
This feature appeared as an amend
ment.
'When Mr.. Burton. reported the
bill to the House from the committee,
Representative Hepburn was very in
dignant at the action the committee
had taken in. adopting the amend
ment, as he felt assured that the
Nicaragua bill would pass the House
by large majority. He Immediate
lv repaid the visit which Mr.. Burton
made to his seat when that gentle
man was anxious to have the bill re-
ferred to his committee, and said
some things that could not have been
pleasant for the Ohio man 10 hear.
He was very indignant, and asked
Burton what he meant by deceiving
him in saying he should have full op-.
portunity in pressing the Nicaragua
bill. Mr.. Burton meekly replied that
he was forced to take the course he
had taken, and admitted that he had
not done what he promised.
Adopted Bill as Reported
"The bill came up and the report
OF the committee was adopted. Ac-
cordingly the President appointed a
commission and they visited both the
Panama and the Nicaraguan terri
tory where it was planned to con-
struct the great waterway. The COM
missioners also gave hearing to Mr..
Cromwell and the Panama contingent,
and these gentlemen, in presenting
their case, thought they ought to have
a hundred millions of money for the
work that had already been per-
formed under the DE Lesseps man
agement. The members of the COM
mission pondered great deal over
this demand, but in the end agreed
that it was excessive and refused to
give it further consideration. They
accordingly recommended the Nicara-
qua route to the President.
"In the meantim the French
holders of the bonds, under the in
fuence of their attorney (this same
Mr.. Cromwell) agreed to reduce the
amount they wanted to be paid to
them from one hundred millions to
the sum Of forty millions, which, in
their opinion was, under the circum-
stances, paltry figure. The moment
this was ascertained the commissions
ers reversed their action and recon-
mended the Panama route as the
most feasible. The report was final
ly adopted by Congress, and thus
the Panama route was agreed upon.
"Senator Morgan and his friends
were disappointed, and also indig-

mittee also favored the Nicaraguan
route.
Hepburn Yielded to Burton.
"When the bill reached the House
Mr.. Hepburn was thoroughly desirous
of having it referred to his commit
tee. Representative Burton, of Ohio,
chairman of the Committee on Rivers
and Harbors, backed by the members
of that committee, decided that they
would make move to have The meas
ure referred to their committee.
"Before the bill was called up Mr..
Burton one day went over to Mr..
Hepburn seat and earnestly talked
with him on the subject of proper
reference Of the Senate enactment.
He assured Mr.. Hepburn that if he
would consent and allow the bill to be
referred to the Committee on Rivers
and Harbors he would exert himself
to see that Hepburn should have
full and thorough oportunity of be-
ing heard in the House, and would
assure him of having the same oppor-
tunity before his committee. With
this understanding Hepburn yielded
and made no contention against the
bill being sent to the Rivers and Har-
bors Committee.
In the meantime whole lots of new
features were presenting themselves.
: AS soon as the bill had passed the
Senate the Panama contingent inter-
ested In the matter and the French
representatives of the plan, headed
by Mr.. Cromwell, the attorney Of the
French holders Of the old Panama
scheme, which was initiated under De
Lesseps, appeared on the scene and
had conferences with several of the
leading Republicans, including Speak
er Reed. Mr.. Cromwell declared to
Mr.. Reed that it would be great out
rage to allow the bill providing for
Nicaragua route to pass, thus ig-
noring the Panama design and the
rights of the French holders Of near
ly $100,000,000 which had been squan-
dered and lost in that enterprise. As
a result of his active work and earn
est arguments Cromwell enlisted
Speaker Reed in his behalf.
Reed Sent for Burton.
"Then, when the bill was at last
referred to the Committee on Rivers
and Harbors, Mr.. Reed sent for Mr..
Burton, chairman Of the committee,
and informed him that the Panama
interests wanted to be heard before
the committee, and the Speaker did
not hesitate to express his opinion
that these interests should have their
requests assented to.
>"Accordingly day was set and
Mr.. Cromwell and his associates In
the Panama scheme were invited be-
fore the Rivers and Harbors Commit
tee, and vigorously presented their
side of the case. I might say here,"
said the gentleman who related these
incidents, "that the Speaker had, pre-
vious to the hearing before the coro-
mittee, sent for some Of The members
