and about ten miles directly west OF
Phoebe. We entered the old diggings
and found traces Of gold. silver. cop

the early days C. C. Goodwin of your

deal OF money in attempting to de-
velop the properties. The mineral

"Briscoe and / have struck good
property. We have organized the
Tri-Metallic Mining & Development
company, and are developing the dis
trict as rapidly as possible. The com

titles are clear. We have machinery
on the ground and enough ordered
to be delivered June 1 to keep the
camp running in full blast. The Cal
umet and Hecla people Of Michigan
are negotiating for twenty-four ct
our claims, but even then we viii
have seven more groups Of from te1
to twenty claims each left. The Tri
Metallic is now hosting $4,000 a dal
with a windlass. The claims de
yelop wonderfully, there is plenty o
wood and water handy, and the CT
mate is the finest in the land. Bee

Doney's bank account is said {

with his joint possessions in the Ere

little doubt but his wealth may 500

finest exhibit of flowers. This is de-

none the less promising Of beneficial
results for that state. The idea Of
offering the same encouragement for
the culture Of flowers as for the rails
ing of corn contains no menace to the
principal crop industry Of Kansas.

Two Rate Experimenta.

The railway rate situation, as affect
cd by state laws and rulings Of com
missions in the effort to enforce q 2
cent rate, seems to be confused. Their,
are, nevertheless, two main linei
along which experimenting is being
done. One group Of states, including
those of the Central West, is moi
undertaking to call into question al
once the constitutionality Of the law,
but is possibly more wisely giving
the law a trial for q period long
enough to show something Of its Of
iects,
The other plan is being carried out
ny the railroads Of the southern states,
almost without exceptions. Their
policy is to fight.the state policy from
the start, by means Of temporary in
functions, which are generally made
permanent, pending an inquiry into
the issue. The advantage Of this
plan is to open the question before a
presumably impartial court, though
none too well informed on railroad
matters. so that all sides Of the issue
may be considered.
The two experiments, represented
In these two groups Of states, rather
