SIXTEEN KILLED
And Marry More are Seriously In
iured.

New York.-Sixteen passengers
were killed outright, four others had
died Of their injuries and at least fifty
more were more or less seriously In
jured following the wreck Of the
White, Plains and Brewster express
on the Harlem division of the New
York Central & Hudson River rail-
road, near Woodlawn road, Borough
of the Bronx. The train was filed
with matinee crowds, and commuters
and was made up of two electric mo-
tors, combination baggage and
smoking ear, and four passenger
coaches. 1t left the Grand Central
station at 6: 13 o'clock, and was sche-
duled to stop at White Plains. The
train was running at high speed wheK
it reached Woodlawn road, where.
there is sharp curve. The motors
and the forward car took the curvs
safely, but the following coaches
were derailed and, tumbling on their
sides, were dragged 100 yards before
the couplings gave way and the four
cars piled together in debris at the
foot Of low embankment.
A sheet or electric flame enveloped
the rear car and, for a moment,
threatened to roast the victims pin
Toned in the debris. The flames did
not spread and a holocaust was
averted. AS the cars fell they smash
ed the third rail breaking the current
and escaping danger from this source.
In the crash which followed there
was death for many, while practically
every one in the four coaches received
injuries Of some sort. Many were
ground.to pieces and for hours identi-
fcation was almost hopeless. AS the
cars went over many of the passen-
gers were thrown into or through the
windows and cut and MANNED.

Wholesale Prosecution.

The department Of justice through
the United States attorneys in the
several states is soon to begin pro-
ceedingy against a number Of railroads
for violation of the law relating to
shipment of cattle approved June 20,
1905, providing that cattle shipped in
interstate commerce shall not be con-
fined in cars longer than twenty-eight
hours without being unloaded for feed,
rest and water except that in cases
where request is previously made
the time may be extended in cars for
fifty hours and in some cases sixty
hours and it is the purpose Of the
government to insist on the full max
imum penalty of $500. Under the old
law, which permitted no extension of
time, the department prosecuted APP
proximately 1000 cases and in each
case the railroad pleaded guilty and
paid the minimum penalty of 500.
The department has now concluded
that the railroads have had ample no.
tice and will ask the courts for the
highest penalty. Following are the
names of the railroads against which
prosecutions will be begun:
st. Paul, Santa Fe, Burlington, New
York, Chicago & St. Louis; Rock Isl
and, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago &
St. Louis; Southern Pacific, Union Pa
:ifc, Lake Shore and Northern Pa

A glance over the dividend record
for the first nine months Of the
current year sets forth the extra
ordinary productiveness and profit
earning capacity Of our mines.
The gross production, seeing that
it is estimated at less than $780,
600, 900 for the year, cannot have
exceeded $15, 100000 to date, yet
in that period almost IS, 600, 900 or

dividends to shareholders. To be

were realized with the metal selling

prices are from 3 to 4 cents higher.
Notwithstanding the fact that there
has been a reduction Of about 10
cents per pound In 1907. Even allow
ing that there may be = further re-
duction in the price of copper to Is
cents as a basis, or less, there should
nevertheless be sufhcient margin Of

GOOD PROFIT At Il CENTS
Recalls The Day When Is Cents Wa

Good Selling Basis Reached
(Missoulian.)

New York, Sept. 25.--F. Augustus
Heinze. long one OF the most con-
spicuous figures in the copper trade.
has made the statement that he does
not expect to see copper fall to much
!ess than IL cents a pound. The big
selling agencies are quoting copper
at IGN cents. but are willing to do
business below that figure. Phelps.
Dodge & Co. said many inquiries have
been received from the consumers
since the cut to IGN cents, but the
consumers, though more interested
In the market than before the cut,
were still holding on because they
Thought still lower prices might be
made.

future OF the market will be-" Helnze
said. II think the decline has brought
the metal to basis where actual
sales can be made. There Is a possi-
bility that the decline may extend
one-half or one full cent more,
though l am inclined to believe that
a proper selling basis has about been
reached. and that the price OF Is
cents a pound will prove attractive
to many persons who have been hold
ing out. l want to say positively.
however. that with copper selling at
IA or Is cents a pound. there is
plenty of money In the business for
the producing companies.
Was Remarkable Rise.
1.-THE public has forgotten. per-
haps, that on the advance a few years
ago. when the metal reached the price
Of Is cents a pound. the newspapers
began speaking about the remark
able rise, and reports were current
that the Calumet & Hecla people re..-
ly did not want to see the metal SELL
Ing above Is cents.
1.-The reaction the trade is witness
ing Is natural under the circum-
stances. The fact Is that few
months ago the large consuming in
terests became 80 fearful that they
would not be able to buy what meta:
they required that they bid up the
price against one another and pu:-
chased immense supplies.
Held to High Price.
"Of course. this demand made the
producing companies think they had
the market In their own hands. and
the result was that they held to the
rs and rs cent basis. regardless Of
what was going on In the money mar
ket and the reduced consumption de-
mand.
when the stringency in money
reached a stage where railroads were
unable to sell their secuities, the
largest buyers Of copper we're obliged
to restrict operations. and the de-
mand soon fell on radically, because
Of the inability of the transportation
companies to carry on the improve
ments they had planned. do not
expect to see any radical improve
ment in the demand for the metal
until the money market becomes SUI
ficiently normal to enable resump-
ton Of the work that had to be aban-
doned by SO many constructive enter
prises."
