Which Of Conflicting Laws
It Shall Obey.

Consideration of the veXed question
Of the right of liquor dealers to ship
wet goods into dry territory was be-
sion yesterday morning and continued
until May 14th in order that certain

eral orders of the commission affecting
transportation of goods shipped by eN-
press In the preliminary hearing yes
terday the town OF Marion was repre-
scented by Mr.. B. T. Buchanan, and the
Southern Express Company by Messrs
Thomas ". Shelton and Robert c. AL
ston. The liquor dealers of Roanoke
who have precipitated the fight to as
certain their rights to fill mail and
express orders from dry communities
were represented by Judge William
Gordon Robertson and Mr.. G. A. Wing
field, Of Roanoke.
The towns Of Glade Spring Salt
vile and Radford will have an oppor.
tunity to be represented in the hearing
on May 14th. These places have
adopted prohibition ordinances In con.
fict with the traffic regulations com.
polling express companies to handle
all goods offered to them for transpor.
tatIon.
In opening the case. Mr.. Shelton sale
the express company had no interes
in the matter save to obey the law
He asked simply for ruling as t

MR.. GU|TERNAN
IS OPTIMISTIC
In An Interview in Denver Smelt-
er Official Expressed Con-
fidence in Future.
INCREASED DEMAND FOR LEAD
Hopes to Avoid a Cut I'm Wages mt
American Plants in
Colorado.

Denver. Jan, Franklin Guiterman,
general manager OF the American
Smelling and Refining company when
asked today regarding the truth of the
dispatch from Helena, Mont. last
night, that the smelters of Colorado
were to be closed down or wages re-
duced, said he was very optimistic
over the situation, The matter was
considered at a conference some time
ago, he said. and it was agreed in
tentative way to reduce production.
This was because there was no market
for lead, one of the principal produce
lions of the shelters of Colorado.
Since that meeting he has received
advlces from New York that there is
an increased demand for lead and be-
lieves the decision will be revoked. II,
however, the demand falls OFF again
II will be necessary to curtail its pro-
duction, and in order to keep the srnelt-
ers running, there VIII be a reduction
I'm wages. This, however, will be
slight and not 10 per cent as mention
ed In the Helena dispatch, and 1t Will
not be general. He believes it will
not be necessary, he said, TO either cut
wags or reduce the working forces as
his latest advices indicate the demand
for lead win be sufficient to keep the
smelters running in this state on the
same basis as at present
General Manager Charles W. Whit
ley of the local plants of the American
Smelling & Refining company was
shown the above dispatch and asked 10
say something about conditions as they
pertain to the smeters In this flelo.
you can say" said he, that we are
operating both the Murray and Garfield
plants up to the capacity to meet the
demands as measured by the receipts
of ore. The only way to bring about
an early Improvement in the metal
market Is through clirtailment in pro
duction and there is no question but
what many of the mine owners are be-
ginning to realize this. However, we
are taking care of a large tonnage or
ore which ought to be moved at prac-
tically no profit in order to help our
customers pull through these uncertain
times"
There has been no reduction in wages
at either OF the American plants; how
ever there has been somewhat of a re-
adjustment going on through which tho
efficiency of the organization mt each
of the plants has been materially Inn
proved. Preference is given TO Ameri- |
cans who have families to support.

BINGHAM CONSOLIDATED.
Badly In Debt---Cost of
Mascotte Tunnel.

As a result of seven years of opera
lions the Bingham Consolidated COM
pany is in debt somewhere between ST.
200 900 and 81 100000. about $S5O,000 be-
ing represented by bonds which are
convertible into the company's stock at
$50 per share. The remainder Is in
notes which are held by friendly inter-
ests and are altogether unlikely to be
called or foreclosed. No dividends have
ever been distributed and the company
has never issued an annual report to
stockholders. says George l.. Walker in
the Boston Commercial.
AS Is generally known, the Bingham
Consolidated smelter is now out OF
commission. 1t will soon be disman-
tied. officials state that Bingham Con-
solidated should receive approximately
100000 for its old smelter. and that II
has the privilege of taking pay for II In
the stock of f. A. Henze's Miners
Smelling company, which proposes TO
build a smelter on the shore of Great
Salt lake near Garfield Bingham Con-
soldated also has the option of hav-
ing its lead-sllver and copper ores treat
ed at this plant for a period of years
at n specified price; but il is declared
that no contract has been made binding
the Bingham company to deliver its
ores 10 the new company at any price
The Mascotte tunnel has been en-
larBed ana EXTENDED another 1000 or
1900 feet recently by Mr.. Helnze's
Ohio Copper company II Mr., Heinze's
plans are successful the Bingham Con-
solidated company is to be paid $4,000
for the tunnel. which was its cost Its
ores are 10 be drawn out through this
tunnel by contract at 10 cents per ton.
which is about half what It costs the
company to do the same service Itself.
Bingham Consolidated also has lease
OF 10 per cent OF the capacity OF the
new Ohio mill 200 tons daily. which has
been erected near the mouth OF the
Mascotte tunnel. II Is proposed that
this capacity shall be used to treat a
very large body of concentrating ore
carrying values IN lead. silver. copper
and gold. which has been opened up in
the Dalton & Lark property.
As n shipping proposition the Blng-
ham properties should be worth double
the price placed upon them by the
