DRAWING THE COLOR LINE
GROSS RUDENESS IS CHARGED
Conduct of New Draughtsman Said to
Have Greatly Increased the Feel
ing That Had Already Existed.

Because Of a fist isht between a white
and colored draughtsman in the Office OF the
supervising architect Of the treasury, Sec
rotary Cortelyou may be called upon to
settle race issue in his department. When
he refused some time ago to pay any atten-
ton to the protests of the white draughts-
men against the appointment of negro ot
the same profession he thought that the
whole question was ended. 1t Is soon to be
presented to him, however, in such form as
to call for direct decision on his part.
About three months ago. as already told
in The Star. William w. Cooke. a South
Carolina colored man. was appointed a
draughtsman In the Office of the supervis-
ing architect. His name was certified,
along with others. by the civil service COM
mission. and the supervising architect had
no way of avoiding his appointment, even
If SO inclined. A large number of men
were being put to work at the time and
Cookies name was among many others.
White clerks in the office protested, but
Mr.. Cortelyou paid no attention. Ever
since then the race feeling In the draught
ing division has been strong. In the prepa-
ration of the plans for public buildings
draughtsmen on one building. and they
work together in closer relation than in
almost any other department of the gov
eminent.
The feeling over Cookies appointment was
dying away, when another batch of ap-
pOintments was made, and among these
was Henry D. Woodson, another South
Carolina negro. He was certified along
with others. He appeared for work Tues
day morning and began his duties.

Reports About the Encounter.

According to unofficial versions from Of
fetal sources today the fight took place
at the close Of work Wednesday afternoon.
When the one hundred or more draughts-
men. employed in a large rom finish their
days work they repair to the Mushroom.
Ryder has been In the supervising archi-
tects office good many years. Besides be-
Ing the smallest man in the office. he Is
Princess Anne. Maryland, and Is a nephew
OF Joshua Miles of that state.
The story Is that Woodson went into the
washroom, found all the basins filed by
white men. and at once pushed up to Ry-
der's basin. According to the report he
did so rudely, showing Ryder away Upon
Ryder's return to the basin Woodson
spoke harshly to him. Woodson at once
struck Ryder. and the fight started. Wood
son Is nearly six feet tall. but in a short
time he was felled to the floor with a
blow. He renewed the fight and again
went down. After Woodson had been pretty
well hammered. although fighting hard, the
encounter was stopped

came near being involved in the trouble. He
wanted to aid his colleague, it Is said, but
was somewhat forcibly prevented. and in
formed by white clerks that he would re-
greet 1t II he did not keep quiet.
1t Is stated that there Is no way the ap-
pointment of colored draughtsmen can be
avoided. The supervising architects Of
flee does not make these appointments one
at time, and has no choice as among
three men. Many appointments are made
at once, the civil service commission fur
nishes the list, and there Is nothing on the
list to show what is the color of those
named.

Feeling eliminates in Fight.

The race feeling was revived, and became
more intense than ever. 1t eliminated in
fist flight Wednesday afternoon between
Woodson and William P. Ryder. a Mary
land white man. But for the fact that Ry-
der. the smallest man in the draughtinS
division, had the best Of the fight through
out. 1t Is said that the white clerks would
probably have beaten Woodson into insensi-
bility. AS it was they formed a ring kept
hands off and permitted Ryder to go on
with the fight, which, according to the
stories of witnesses. he was doing to their
satisfaction.
Every effort was made yesterday to cover
up the affair, and nothing would have
leaked out but for draughtsmen discussing
1t among themselves last night and the
night before. The statements In writing Of
the two principals and Of all the witnesses
are being taken today.
When these are all In they will be laid
before Mr.. Taylor, the supervising archi-
tect, who is now in New York. He will
make recommendation and pass the case
up to Mr.. Winthrop, the new assistant sec
rotary Of the treasury. who has charge of
the supervising architects establishment,
and If Mr.. Winthrop does not dispose Of 1t
thu matter will be passed on to Secretary
COrtelyOu.

HAD A STRENUOUS WEEK
Relief Is Felt Throughout Financial
District at Close Of Short Session
Most Panicky Week wall Street
Has Known For Long Time.

New York, Special.-There was
sigh of relief through the financial
district when the short session of the
stock exchange ended Saturday;
marking the close Of one of The most
panicky weeks that Wall Street has
known for long time:
The declination Of the presidency
Of the Mercantile National Bank BY
Nh. william B. Ridgely, Federal
Comptroller Of the Currency, did not
come until after the business day was
over and therefore had no effect on
the market or the financial situation
in general. What the effect may be
when the market opens Monday it is
impossible to say, but it is the gem
cral opinion Of fnahciers that the
Weekend holiday will serve to settle
matters in the street and unless there
are unexpected developments iii the
delicate situation, confidence in a
large measure will be restored by
Monday. The weekly bank statement
showed an unexplained addition of
Sc, AS, 100 to the cash holdings of the
banks, bringing the cash holdings
$11,1SO,OOO above the required re-
serves. This is taken to mean that
the banks are preparing themselves
for any crisis that may be forced on
them next week.
On the stock exchange, and tho
curb practically every stock dealt in
suffered decline during the
week. United Copper, which is not q
listed stock, and is dealt in only on
the Grub, suffered a net declEe Of
3Sl-S, for The common and 9 I2 for
the preferred, closing at q 81 and %,
respectively. Guggenhimer sexplora:
ton dropped 45 points. On the ex-
change, Amalgamated copper reached
1872, closing Saturday at 44f- g and
showing a net loss Of 91-S IN the
week. On the low point reached was
tha bottom price for several years anu
was 81 3-4 points below the high point
for the year. American Smelling also
made new low mark of 61.l-4 anl
showed a ne, loss of u points on the
week. The low figure was SO 81
points under the high price for the
year and 771-2 under the low price
for 1906. Railroads and industriais
suffered during the week but the close
Saturday was in almost every case
substantially above the low figure for
the week.

aNe.ENr cuANAduATo MINES.

from ono Shaft $500, ,ooo, 600 In Silver
Is Said 90 Have Been Taken.
At the end of the eighteenth CEN
) trry the mines OF the Guanaiuato were
the foremost of their kind. 1t was
then that the Valenciana shaft was
srak to- l.s00 feet, and 1t IS still the
deepest IN the district.
This work was completed in, 1855
at fabulous expense 1t Is said 10
have cost a min;on, though even this
expenditure seems small compared
With that of the Combination shaft
sunk on the Comstock lode in 1881;
this was 3,10O feet deep and cost s6s
100000.
The cost of the big shaft OF sthe
Vaienciana was Offset by an extra
ordinary production, stated at $780,.
e00,000. most of it extracted during the
latter half OF the eighteenth century.
This figure corresponds with the total
output Of the Comstock up to the time
when the lower workings were aban.
donef in 1884.
On August 20, 1904, the kings tax
on the Valenciana, amounting to the
sum of s2,64S,S66. was paid. AS this
represented one-ffth Of the yield Of "a
period Of five years, it serves to sub.
stantfate even the extraordinary staN
istics OF these old mines. The other
mines on the Veta kfadre and those
on La Luz veins also produced enorm.
Ously at this period, so that the popu
lation OF the district at the beginning
of the nineteenth century had In.
creased 10 100000.
@ This was the time of Humbolds's
yisit. He says that ''the whole vein
lthe Veta Madre) OF Guanajuato may
be estimated at four ounces of silver
per quintal of minerals" AS quintal
Is 100 pounds, this means ore averag-
Ing eighty ounces per ton OF 1000
pounds.
Then came the long years OF the
revolution against Spanish domination.
In 1910, when in the height other
s prosperity as a mining center, GUIANA
juato was attacked by the republican
forces and life became insecure, so
that mining operations were discour
aged and all work OF Importance was
2discontinued. Deep work ceased en-
tirsly, no shafts were sunk and the
production of ore was reduced to in.
frequent shipments taken from sup
porting pillars and from the sides OF
rld slopes.
Even such decadent mining became
insignificant as the miners were driven
toward the surface by the slowly ris.
ing water. It was at this period OF
general lawlessness that the heavy
walls with watch towers were built
around the mines, until every prop
erty of consequence had the look OF
fortress. Similar protection was
s given to the reduction works. which.
became fortified Enclosures
