MINING, MARKETS AND METAL

Kenzie well and well No. of the
Virgin River Oil and Development
company has been held up for some
time by breakdowns. The Mckenzie
well was getting some oil when the
drill was lost, and the Virgin River
company's we'll was making lots OF
gas. That company telegraphed to
Los Angeles for repairs, but they
could not be furnished, and it became
necessary to have them made. 1t
is presumed that the same difficulty
was encountered in connection with
the Mckenzie breakdown.
Eight rigs, aside from the two
temporarily out of commission, are
now at work in the Virgin field, and
the Virgin River Oil and Develop
ment company's first we'll is providing
all of them with their fuel supply.
That company's experts are confident
that the second well will be better
than the first.

company, of which the Porter broth

HAYWOOD IS
AFTER PARDON
Hopes to Secure Liberation OF
Smith and Preston Now Serving
Sentences for Silva Murder.

RENO, Nov. 19.-W. d. Haywood,
secretary of the Western Federation
of Miners, is in Reno and is now
known to be working to secure par
don for the slayers of John Silva,
the Goldfield restaurant proprietor
who was killed last winter. Joseph
Smith and M. X. Preston, who were
convicted of the killing and sentenced
to long terms in the state peniten-
tiary, have lost their right to appeal
for new trial, according to Attor-
ney General Stoddard, and pardon
is the last legal recourse they have
for liberty.
James II. Nevin, state bullion tax
collector, accompanied Haywood to
Carson City Saturday, and said yes
terday in Reno that the miners sec
rotary saw Justices Norcross and
Sweeney, but was unable to confer
with Governor Sparks about filing
an application for Preston and
Smiths release, as the governor was
not there.
Seen at his room last night, Hay
wood said: 1T is true that | went
to Carson yesterday and saw Smith
and Preston at the state prison. 1t is
also true that I met Justice Sweeney

RICH TRINITY CHURCH IS AGAIN UNDER FIRE

NEW YORK.-Trinity church is un- " der fire again, and it has, as usual, been as serene under the lombard ment as Gibaltar would be if peppered by a broadside Of popguns.
 Trinity is che richest church corporation n the world, and it is in regard to the riches of the church that the fuss is about. What the wealth of Trinity is and what is done with it's income has been a burning issue for more than a century. It is a standing mystery in New York.
 The property of the church is held by Trinity corporation, and it is a close one. The extent of it's wealth is secret recorded in the corpora ton books, and they are open only to a few of the higher officers.
 Outsiders cannot get a complete view of the church holdings, because much of the property stands on the tax rolls in the names of persons to whom it has been leased for long terms. Estimates of the church prop

erty held by Trinity and property upon which it pays taxes range from $40,000,000 to $100,000,000. The best of these estimates seem to be those that most nearly approach the latter figure.
 In the control of this vast wealth the g wardens and vestrymen of Trinity are absolute. The actual man. agement is left in the hands of a com mittee of half a dozen men. No re- ports are required to be made to tho state or any church authority An annual report is prepared and is opened to the vestrymen, but they are allowed to see only such books as are mentioned in the report. The list of persons allowed to vote at Trim ity church elections Is secret.
 Trinity's holdings consist in large part of West side tenements, and it has often been criticised as an in considerate landlord. These buildings are old and ages behind the times. Some were originally fine private dwellings that have been rearranged to accommodate several families

STREET OF THE SPENDERS SHOWS SUMMER IS HERE

bury Kane, J. P. Morgan, c. Oliver Iselin. Elihu Root, when he is in town. Joseph Choate, w. Gould Brokaw, FoXhall Keene and, in fact, all cf the men who have won or inherited fortune and fame.
 It is said that nobody walks in the Street of the Spenders save those who serve-the others ride. That is trps only in the winter When summer comes, as now, many plebeian strolls down the thoroughfare and sees in it little to differentiate it from thousands of others in the city. for those to whom the street is the recep- tacle for the overflow of wealth-the profits of great commercial enter prises, the wealth of millions in the west or the graft reaped from politics have gone to other lands or to sea coast or mountain side, and the pedes. trian sees nothing that tells him of the magnificent entertainments cost ing housandS-sometime hundreds of thousands of dollars-given there almost nightly when the rich are in town. You cant find the Street of the Spenders in the New York directory. Look under West Fourty-fourth street and if you want to see it, it won't take you long, for it extends only from Fifth avenue to Broadway.
The Prescott daily news., 1907-07-15

MO other thing than the deserted ap N pearance of the Street of the Spenders is required to tell one that summer has struck New York The Street of the Spenders is little less l than a third of mile long. yet it is probable that more money is spent there for pleasure than in any other locality of similar extent in the world It is an ultra-fas ashionabe thorough fare, lined with palatial buildings worth millions. Except in summer, an average of 5000 pleasure vehicles pass through the street each day, and perhaps $500 of these are there be- tween the hours of six o'clock and midnight, when the clubs, the dining places and the bathrooms are in full swing.
 At one end of the Street of the Spenders are Delmonico's and Sher- rvs, at the other end the new $7 1000, 900 Astor hotel Between them are some of the finest and most exclusive clubs in the world, the St Nicholas, the Racquet. the New York Yacht, Harvard, Yale, Pennsylvania, the Bar association and the Lambs.

C JUDGE cARTER'S CHARGE.

In his charge to the grand Jury to- day, Judge Carter indulged in his usual clear enunciation of the duties and powers of that body He made clear the point that it should be the purpose of grand juries to protect the innocent as we'll as to punish the guilty. ''Know no man in the grand jury room, " should be the motto of every juror, he argued. His remarks were devoid of any unusual deviation with the excep- tion of two topics. The first came along the subject of bootlegging whiskey, and the nature of the fluid sold in prohibition towns "Very little, ' he said, ''has ever been north of the Arkansas river, and l doubt if it was ever across the Little Missouri. It isn t whisky, it's concentrated lye. Put a piece of fat meat in bottle of it and the meat will be dissolved in an hour, and believe if the people who buy the stuff knew it's nature they would quit it." He waxed enthusiastic over the subject.
 The second matter that came as a surprise to the court room was a theme that the Judge announced was the first time he had ever mentioned it. He be- gan the subject by stating that at the last legislature bill had been introduc- ed to require collectors and treasurers of public money to deposit the same in the banks offering the highest interest. That the law, if passed, would have brought Sl50, 900 to the counties of the State, but is was defeated, and by the men whom the Judge claimed, were mostly benefited by it's defeat. He read the law as it now stands, and argued that it was violation for any treasurer or collector to deposit public funds in a bank to be loaned out at interest, and while he wouldn't urge the present grand jury to investigate matters now-they could do it if they wanted to-but that hereafter he ex- pected to urge the matter, and by so doing create sentiment in favor of the defeated bill and thus insure its passage at the next legislature and the increasing of the public funds $l50, 900.
