HEAVY LOSS OF TRADE.
St. John Loses Millions Through
Shortage Of Freight Cars.

st. John, y. B., March ia loss of
winter trade for this port amounting
to millions of dollars in value has been
caused, it is claimed by the freight
blockade in the West. Two sailings by
the Donaldson Line of steamers have
been withdrawn for this month and
the turbine steamers of the Allan Line
have been withdrawn from this route
largely. it is said, on account of the
scarcity of freight from the West.
A schedule of cargoes for "A steam
ships. which has been filed at the local
custom house, shows that these yes
sells carried goods valued at s12.42l,-
$50. Last season "A steamers carried
from tisN port goods valued at s16,-
a72,494, this valuation being sS,S44,911,
in excess of this season.
Some of this years shrinkage in
value is attributed to the lower price
on wheat, but a large part of it is
claimed to be due to the general car
shortage.

Tn. s,dde.t Fact About New York.

William Allen White, the famous
Kansas editor and novelist, writes OF
New York City and Emporia (his home
town. in The American Magazine.
Following is Mr. Whites account Of the
saddest thing he sees in New York:
Country dwelling American men
and most of the women are Instructive
ly democratic. And being democratic
the cities sadden us country people.
For the city-and New York is typical
of urban America-fOsters too much of
the sham relation between men that
ole finds where class lines are set.
The eternal presence of a serving class,
whose manners may some day petrify
into servility, the continual discovery
that the man who brings the food, or
sweeps the street. or drives the cab.
considers wholesome converse ton with
him from his patrons as sign OF low
breeding, the presence of the man who
fawns for a quarter, all these make the
countryman in New York desire to rush
home and organize Sitting Bull
Lodge of Ancient and Amiable Anar-
chists,
ut is not the extravagances of the
rich. but the timber knees of too many
of the poor that disgust the country
man in New York. The saddest thing
in that great city, to one who comes
from the frank, wholesome, clean, hap
by faces Of the country. is not the
painted lady's face, with it's CLASSY eyes,
not the overfed. puffy-necked figures Of
the lazy, respectable hotel-dwelling
woman, who get no more exercise than
t,.fr ba cd IF
the men about the barrel houses
though merciful God knows they are
sad enough; but sadder than they are
the loathsome wooden faces Of the men
who stand decked out like human
manikins in puppies and greens and
what mot of podish Stiffness and, for
a price, SURF ,nder themselves to be
made part of the landscape. For years
Mickle the painter was the lowest form
of humanity we had in Emporia. He
was the town drunkard, and once they
fined him for beating his wife; drink
made him loafer and a brute. But
some way one felt down in Mickle there
was the soul Of a man; some way one
knew that he would not do certain
things for money, some way one az
ways understood that Mickle could still
look into depths of personal degrade
ton below him, and tell whoever
tempted him there to go to hell. But.
on the other hand, some way the fun
key is just a flunkey, and he seems to
have given up the right to resent per-
sonal insult when he assumes the mis-
cradle part. And for a man to COM
Imercialize his American birthright
seems a heart breaking tragedy"

SILVER BOW IS
ALREADY SHIPPER
COMPANY Is GETTING THE HIGH
GRADE TO SHELTER
RAPIDLY.

Silver Bow, the latest camp of the
big strikes is making some of her
neighbors pale by comparison, for
she is already a shipper.
The second shipment from the Cat
lin property has been settled for by
the Western Ore Purchasing Com
pany. This was shipment OF sec
ond class ore, which went about SS5
a ton There were twenty tons ship
ped in all, and the returns were
$1479. The first shipment was of
sixteen tons and it netted the COM
pany s20O2.56.
The company is not only going
after the ore. but is getting the high
grade to the smelter as fast as pos
sible, for they are the kind of men
who believe in getting the money out
of the ground as fast as it can be
hoisted and sent to the smelter.
Teams are going after more ore, and
another shipment may be expected IN
shortly, for the reason that there are
at least 250 sacks of high grade
ready to be shipped. Shipping will
continue as long as the roads re-
main good. The Catlin group was
purchased by Bert L. Smith, c. d.

There is a nice record for the past
week First, we had the strike on
the Cram-LaLime lease on Union No.
on last Saturday, with ore that
went from $500 TO 5000 ton; then
came the big find on the Douglass
Kendall lease, which went $1,000 to
the ton. Following this came the
discovery OF $500 ore on the Rose
Nash lease adjoining that of the
Cram-LaLime lease, and now we have
the strike on the Stray Dog.
That is not all Word was re-
eelyed here yesterday that an assay
had been taken for eight feet Of ore
on the Rose-Nash lease, and 1t re-
turned $50 to the ton clear across.
The road between here and Man

sent through the streets of Goldfield
would not have hit anyone.

o'clock with his team and made for

and he got hold of the Annie Laurie

field as fast as he could and dis
played the ore that he had taken

men from Goldiield were not slow in

started in the middle of the winter,
and buyers were eager for properties
which were coyred with snow
Manhattan was then in no condl-

completed. with thousands of tons
ready for the mills, and with a great
amount of high grade ore as well.
Fred Brown went out to the north

afternoon. He saw the assay of the
Rose-Nash lease.
Things are certainly stirring in

she is going to be hummer. Percy
Nash himself told me OF the assay,
and asked me to deliver the message
TO my brother, Hugh. That Is GER
