new rate. AT the border of the ad-
joining state however. the three-cent
rate could be charged. To evade the
laws railroads have offered to carry
business TO dead line" border at the
enforced rate but in turn have re-
quired passengers 10 disembark at the
state border unless willing to pay the
three cent rate for the entire distance
Naturally passengers have perferred
10 pay the three cent rate for the en-
tire distance and in several states the
TWO cent law is said to have been a
farce excepting on business originat-
ing and remaining within the state.
On through business the situation
has been even more peculiar The
interstate commission ruled some
months ago that carriers may sell
only 10 points quoted in approved
tariff schedules, and refused per-
mission to sell to points beyond by
basing the rate on that to the point
quoted. After several turtle att
tempts at evasion lines operating
through Wisconsin between ST. Paul
and Chicago acceded to the Wiscon-
sin law and reduced the rate from
81 TO SIS. However, only the rate
between st. Paul and Chicago was
determined and business routed from
Puget Sound to Milwaukee or other
points than Chicago was obliged to
pay the full rate east of st. Paul
Under this condition the rate from
Tacoma to Milwaukee was $49.7O,
while to Chicago 1t was $4S. Under
similar conditions the southern lines
were able to discriminate against the
northern on business seeking south
ern on business seeking the Canadian
border country

NEW YORK, Oct. st came out
yesterday that the executors of the
estate of Russell Sage have found in
the various Sage safe deposit vaults
and ON his stock and bond register,
bonds with par value of 1,011,-
900. and 1900 shares of stock and
scrip. all of which are considered
practically worthless. In addition
there are some open accounts upon
which the executors expect to realize
but little.
Included in the worthless securities
are mining shares. railroad. bank and
trust company isses. shares in ware
house concerns, in grain elevator
companies in industrial concerns and
steel companies. Improvement shares,
electric railroad issues, land grant
scrip. defaulted state bonds of Geo
rgia and North Carolina, and default
ed town bonds. Much of this paper
came into Mr.. Sage's hands early in
his career.
Many of the bond and stock issues
were victims of the various financial
panics that have swept the country
since before the Civil War. The de-
faulted state bonds were acquired at
the time when the state and national
governments were issuing paper to
provide funds for railroad building.
The rolling mill securities came out
when there was a craze for rolling
steel rails. Some years ago grain ele-
vators were regarded as gilt edged
investments.
DOUBT SAGE PAID FACE VALUE.
Persons acquainted with Mr.. Sage's
way of doing business do not believe
he ever paid the face value for these
bonds and stocks. They believe he
bought many of them at a fraction of
their value on the chance that he
could compel payment in the courts,
or acquired them in foreclosure
proceedings.
In the list of securities are $50, 900
of North Carlina bonds issued for
railroad construction and other ante
bellum papers that Mr. Sage tried in
vain 10 realize on. There are $146.-
600 of Georgia per cent gold bonds
due 1894, on which the interest is
equal to the principal. Both these
issues have been repudiated by the
state.
A nominal value is attached TO 80
shares OF the Produce Exchange
Trust Co, provisional receipts After
this company was organized its $2,-
100000 of capital and s2,500.000
surplus became tied up in syndicate
loans. etc. Edward Gould and Gen
eral Samuel Thomas. father of l.. X.
Thomas, reopened the trust company,
but the provisional receipts never
came TO have much value. The com
pany has since been merged with
another.
The appraisers found that 49,
shares OF the Marshall Consolidated
Coal company having a par value of
1000, have a value too small to
compute, being worth S2.9S. Mr..
Sage held 500 shares of the Trades
mems Bank and 200 shares of the
New York Wool Warehouse stock,
which went down together about 10
years ago. They may be worth a few
cents.
Two of the railroads whose stock
was held by Mr. Sage have been sold
by the executors One was the
Poughkeepie x Eastern, which Mr..
Sage thought enough of to make up
a deficit to keep It in operation. He
threatened at one time to connect

headed and conservative mining men
and brokers and others who had no
false ideas about the Cobalt district
These men went to work upon the
lines of scientific engineering, and
have developed several good propert-
les that have won the confidence of
some investors who not so long ago
turned the cold shoulder TO Cobalt
stocks. From a position of no I'M
portance three years ago the Cobalt
district has become the fourth in the
worlds production of silver. Costs
of production are low compared with
number in other parts of North
America. The bulk of the refining is
now done at works where the haul is
not long, and where freight rates are
comparatively low. Timber and
water are plentiful and at hand.
Three~fourths of the land owned
by the sound mining companies at
Cobalt is undeyeloped. In a number
of instances the works in veins
yield silver values of $3.50 a ton.
This is irrespective of cobalt. nickel
and arsenic percentages which are
important. The guests of Mr..
Thompson saw in hundreds of places
veins that exhibit values of 900 to
5000 ounces of silver per ton.
Thousands of feet of veins of rich
silver ore that contain silver values
of $3.50 to $3.50 a ton have been ex-
posed within a few weeks. Never
before in the history of mining has
an area of like space been mined
with a showing so large as Cobalt
has to its credit in silver values. The
ore averages about seven cubic feet
per ton. which accounts, in part, for
low mining costs at certain mines in
this region
Ore in the sight of the visitors on
the La Rose properties ready for
early shipment is estimated TO be
worth $2,500,000. The visitors
walked over twelve miles of surface,
and explored about six thousand feet
of mine levels. andinspected the La
Rose, Nipissing and several other
mines above ground plants, and in
the evening were entertained AT
banquet given on the special train
by the officers of the La Rose Mining
company. Among the guests We're
the Mayor of Cobalt and other public
officials of the Province of Ontario
and number of bankers and bust
ness men from the Province of
Quebec.
The thanks OF the party We're due,
not only TO the La Rose Consolidated
Mines company. but to Mr. w. Il,
! Thompson, and his associate, Mr.
Armstrong of New York. for the
magnificent manner in which their
guests We're cared for. and the Bos-
ton contingent We're especially oh

The salient physical facts as 70 the
production of silver in the Cobalt dis
trict are remarkable. Since the first
shipment OF ore 10 the refineries until
September / the output of fine sill
yer has been l zoe tons or about 20
100000 troy ounces. This is far the
worlds greatest record for produc-
ton under similar conditions of de-
yelopment. u is estimated by the
ablest mining engineers that the out
put of fine silver in the Cobalt dis
trict for this year will be 10000. 600
ounces.
1t is an undeniable fact that the re-
serves of such mines as the La Rose
Consolidated Mines company can be
mined and refined at the present time
at one-tenth of their value This is

region. Conditions at the La Rose
