SW|NDLERS ARE
INDICTED FOR
NEVADA FRAUDS

SACRAMENTO, July 27.-Four
indictments were the result of the
grand jury investigation of the recent
fraudulent issues of mining stock GER
tificates, which was taken up at the
session yesterday afternoon.
C. L. Booth of this city and N. r..
Hopson, who is at large in Nevada,
are the men who are charged in the
indictments with removing the can
collation. mark from returned certifi-
Gates of the Booth Mining Co. and
reissuing them as new stock. Booth
appeared before the inquisitors and
made frank statement. Hopson is
thought to be in hiding in Tonopah.
A warrant was issued for his arrest,
and Chief of Police Buggy telegraph
ed last night to Nevada for his ap
prehension by the local police at that
place.
The grand jury met at 2 O'Clock
and at 4 O'Clock vote was taken on
the two bills, Immediately after
which the grand Jurors filed out and
across Market street to the Grant
building, going to Judge Sturtevant's
court, where the two indictments
were duly returned and placed on the
secret file, it being desired first to
apprehend Hopson before making the
action of the grand jury public. The
only witness besides Booth who was
called was G. F. Steart, who is the
secretary of the Booth Mining Co.
This investigation grew out of the
recent action of the mining board In
exposing the fraudulent issue of stock
certificates by which several local
firms had been victimized. The first
case was made in the police court,
when Martin B. Leavins was arrested
for fraudulently issuing stock certifi-
Gates of the Sandstone Mining CON-
pany.
In the present case the men operat-
ed by securing cancelled stock certi-
ficates and removing the cancellation
mark. Assistant District Attorney
Daniel c. Deasy, who conducted the
examination before the grand jury,
says that Hopson is the chief offender
and there is every indication that
Booth will be the recipient OF favor
in return for his confession. Con-
sidera' lie apprehension is manifested
in regard to the capture of Hopson,
who, it is thought, is already in
hiding.
Booths bail was fixed by Judge
Sturtevant at $1,000, while that OF
Hopson was set at $4,000. They are
charged in the indictment with de-
frauding T. S. Even, to whom some
of the bogus stock was sold.
It Is the intention of the governing
board of the Mining Exchange, OF
which Gorge Wingfield is president
to follow up these cases until the
gang of operators which has been
working the public is eradicated.

BUNKER HILL To
BEGIN SHIPPING
FIRST OF WEEK

Robert Neill has returned from
the Bunker Hill-Sullivan property
with samples of ore from the tun-
mel which have occasioned much com
ment and admiration among those
who seen the ore.
Mr.. Neill states that shipments
from the body from which the sam
Piles were taken will be commenced
the first part of next week and that
from that time on it is expected that
the property will get ore out steadily
for the smelter.
An engine is now being set up at
the property and will be ready in
a day or two to hoist ore through the
upraise which is being made from
the tunnel. Removal of the ore
through this working enables econ
omy and greater convenience in hand
ling on the surface than could be
secured through delivery from the
mouth of the tunnel. The upraise
is now within 20 feet of the surface
and excellent progress being made
with the work.
Ore in the tunnel and the upraise
from which shipments are to be
made has lately returned assays
showing 55 per cent lead s to %
ounces silver and So to S. gold. Six
men are now employed at the prop
erty. On the dump ready for ship
ment at the present time are about
6 car loads of ore.

BRISK START MADE
FOR THE WEEK
ON THE MARKETS

The market took a decided brace
yesterday. The inclination to sag
which was in evidence Saturday was
shaken of and sent scurrying to the
woods. There was better tone
throughout the list and only in spots
was there evidence left of the end
of the week shakiness. 1t looks very
much from the performance had yes
terday as II another period of ad-
vance had set in to lift the stocks to
the highest level of the year.
The coppers Jared well yesterday,
particularly the low cost issues. Ne
vada Consolidated and Cumberland
Ely both scored advance and closed
firm and strong. Copper metal quo
tations were little higher, both in
New York and London. Reports from
the latter told of increased demand
and considerable bullishness on the
metal. 1t would not be surprising
II the long expected sharp advance
in both copper stocks and metal hap
pened to be at hand. Closing New

N. p. RATE HEARING
GROWS INTERESTING
Efforts Being Made to Discredit Tes-
timOny of Former Witnesses
Discrepancies Shown.

ST. PAUL, July 27.-The feature
of the hearing today in the Northern
Pacific rate case was an effort on the
part of counsel for the state to show,
according to previous reports of the
officers of the road the cost of its
construction and equipment is about
1925, 100000 less than the figures
given in the testimony of Fl. A Gray,
comptroller of the company.
Mr.. Gray testified previously that
the cost of the Northern Pacific prop
erty on April 80 of this year was
$369,252,756.
Mr.. Gray was cross examined to-
day by T. d. O'Brien for the state
A bound volume of reports was
shown him, which were made by the
company to the state, and he read
certain portions of these reports into
the record. There was a difference
each year between the report to stock
holders and that issued to the state.
In these instances the state, in order
to give the railroad company the
benefit of the doubt, built up its fig
ures by taking the highest of the two.
Even then the total cost of equip
ment was but s24,S15, 276.70.
Mr.. Gray has intimated on tho wit
ness stand previously that there is a
difference between the book" value
OF the property and the actual value.
The former represents the amount
actually expended for the property
and the latter is the sum at which the
property is valued for operation.

KATSURA, NEW PREMIER,
OUTLINES JAPS' POLICY

TOXIC, July 27.-Marquis Kat
sura, the new premier and minister of
finance of Japan, in an interview to-
day outlined the policies of the gov
ernment's administration. Epitom-
lied, they were: A determination to
improve the political and commercial
relations between Japan and all for
eign countries; to remodel the
finances of the country, and to build
up the industries of Japan.
1.-THE great change in the cabinet
was caused because of the continued
i'll health of ex-Premier Sajonjf,
said the marquis. although there
may have been other essential rea-
sons, necessitating a change of policy
toward foreign countries. l need
hardly say that my policy will be
peaceful, the prime object of 1t be-
ing to maintain peace throughout the
world.
with this end in view, l will do
my best to cultivate and increase the
present good relations existing be-
tween Japan and the powers. Japan
must not be misunderstood in her
sincere desire to maintain peace.
Anything calculated in even the
slightest degree to disturb the peace
of the world shall be scrupulously
avoided.
1.-The national finances also will
command my utmost attention. The
disturbance of Japanese finances be-
cause of the recent war between
Japan and Russia must be allayed
within the shortest possible time.
Redemption bonds, more especially
those that are unproductive, will re-
ceive my first attention. | hope to
be able to readjusu Japan's finances
and thus dispel the abnormal condi-
ton now existing.
1.-The upbuilding of Japan's eco
nomical and commercial development
will be one of my most serious en-
deavors, but in carrying out this pol
icy I shall be most careful to avoid
anything calculated to disturb the
peaceful relations of the powers.
These are the principal objects to be
pursued. The adjustment of the ma
tional finances and the development
of the national resources are two In
separable measures, and, therefore
shall command my utmost attention
and the utmost attention OF my gov
eminent"
The marquis showed determine
ton to bring conditions in Japan
within the most practical scope, and
retrenchment will be the watchword

i If the ship Bangalore would come in
between now and next Thursday, Ad-
miral Very could retire from the COM
mand of the Naval Station with all
of the big coal fleet consigned to him
accounted for.
Since last September there have been
dispatched to this harbor six steam
ships and six sailing vessels, averaging
nearly 5000 tons of coal each. With
the Dirigo yesterday all of these have
arrived except the Benjamin F. Pack
ard, which was ordered to Seattle after
being dispatched to this port, and the
ship. Bangalore, which is now out III
days. She is the smallest of the en-
tire fleet, bringing only 1900 tons of
coal
Most of these vessels have been here
and been discharged and sailed again.
The John Ena has just finished dis
charging, and the Dirigo will begin
discharging today or tomorrow.
1t is generally accepted around the
Naval Station that although the fleet

amount remaining that no more coal
for the navy will be brought here be-
fore 1910. The ten vessels which have
arrived have brought 50,564 tons. The
