An Interesting point in connection
with the chances Of mlnin9 was
brought to our attentlon recently by
ii A. Lust6eld, mine forman
Of the Gold Links at Ohio CITY.
At POO feet the Links tunnel cut =
large vein, y #. Of minerallzed
matter with from four to SIX feet Of
pay streak For several hundred
feet north the drift shows splendid
ore with good values, though much
variation in the width Of the vein.
However 100 feet south of the tun-
mel there is no sign Of vein
Here the big tunnel could have gone
past the ore and lost 1t forever
Very likely many cross tunnels
have proved failures from causes Of
this character. The vein was
pInched at particular point Of
intersection and no one was the
wiser when it passed 1t is dan
ger that must be taken into consi-
deration in deciding whether the
best proposition is to follow the ore
down or cross cut

A Victim of Tariff.

In an address to the House of Representatives
Congressman Hitchcock of Nebraska, who is pub
Usher of the Omaha World-Herald told the story of
the operation of the print paper trust.
At the time of the enactment of the Dngley tariff
law the paper manufacturers of the country were
operating in competition with each other and then
Mr.. Hitchcock bought print paper for little less
than So per hundred pounds The Dngley law
placed duty of thirty cents hundred the paper.
After the law went into effect, the International
Paper Company was formed in the East Gradually
it acquired control of Western mills The price
of print paper went up to $3.50 a hundred pounds
The combination was dissolved by the courts and
paper returned to So per hundred. The trust
reorganized under another name and in such way
as to circumvent the law and the price of paper
returned to $3.50
The same quality of goods is selling in Canada
at little less than So. But for the duty, it would
sell in the United States for nearly the price
Mr. Hitchcock says the duty of thirty cents costs
him $4,000 year, applied to the quantity of paper
he purchases each year There hundreds of
much larger consumers than Mr.. Hitchcock in the
United States all paying enormous tribute to the
protective policy.

The Anti=Rebate Law.

Through decision of the Federal Supreme Court
rendered last Monday, the Great Northern Railroad
company will be compelled to pay $1,000 each for
fifteen violations of the first section of the Ellins
act the section prohibiting railroads from giving
bates
1t was contended by the railroad company that the
Hepburn repealed the first section of the ElkinS
act. The court says that it does not Mr.. Hepberns
intention may have been all right, but if so his
verbiage does not sustain the intention
Now that it has been established by the highest
authority that there is law against rebating the
Standard Oil people will hardly be able to escape
without paying penalty The Standard Oil COM
pany is resisting the payment of $s9oOoOOO in fines
imposed by Judge Lands upon the plea that the
antirebae clause of the Elkns act had been repealed
The proceedings that will follow this court decision
will be of interest to the public we'll to the
oil trust
