MONTANA WOOL MEN GET
SATISFACTORY RETURNS
State Organization Has Been of Much
Aid in Marketing the Clop-
Get Average price.

HELENA. Mont, June Lewis
Penwell, secretary of the Montana
Wool Co.. and who is also at the head
of eight of the largest sheep concerns
in the state, estimates that the grow
ers will receive approximately the
same total in cash this year as they
did last, despite the discrepancy in
prices. All wool men received on an
average - cents last year, and s
cents is estimated as the average for
this seasons prices This condition
is due to the unusual amount of rain
in the spring of 1907, which made the
clip remarkably light, and il is not
at all improbable that the clip this
year will be point heavier on the
average. that is, a weight TO the
fleece of eight pounds against seven
pounds last year, the difference be-
ing in dirt and grease.
A meeting of the directors of the
Montana Wood Commission Co. has
been called to meet in this city, and
at which conference will be held
with Frank Peters, who has been Sc
lected to represent the concern as
agent at Boston. The object of this
meeting will be to make prepara-
tons for the seasons business and TO
arrange to finance the. commission
company to meet the demands of the
summer.
Prior to last year there was moth
ing the grower could do but to sell
or consign. With the establishment
of the commission, which includes
perhaps 75 of the wool growers of
the state, if grower does not desire
to sell at the offerings of the eastern
commission merchants, he will be
able to turn this business over to the
Montana company to handle for him
1t is estimated that the clip this
year will amount to 100000
pounds, and will grade long staple.

SALT LAKE, June 2.-While ac-
tivity in railroad construction i'll this
section as well as in other portions
of the United States at present is not
so great as it has been in the past
two or three years, ii is confidently
expected that there will be a re-

of all the great railroad systems ends
The arrangements of the roads will
then ascertain their financial status,

the situation, and il is ayerred that
western roads had good net bust
ness last fall Notwithstanding ad-
verse conditions. This is emphasized
particularly with reference 10 the
Hartman and Gould lines. and il is
expected their reports will make an
excellent showing Under those cir
cumstances work on the Western Pa
cific will be pushed more vigorously
and the many improvements on the
Hartman lines. some of which have
been delayed, will be carried TO COM
pletion.
II is also generally expected that
the Burlington and Chicago &
Northwestern will renew their activ-
ity in Wyoming. pushing their lines
toward the west. with Salt Lake as
the intermountain objective point.
The latter has done but little work on
its extension beyond Lander. and the
former has not been pushing its con-
struction work westward But il is
confidently anticipated that in few
months those systems will renew
their activity on these extensions, all
of which means improved business
conditions in this section.

SHELTER Is HELD FOR
POLLUTION OF WATERS

WASHINGTON. June 1.-The case
of the Western Loan 4. Savings Co.
of Utah VS.. the Butte K Boston Con-
solidated Mining Co. involving the
question whether ore reducing works
can be held responsible for the pollu-
tion of water and the consequent
damage to land below. was decided
by the supreme court of the United
States today favorable To the former
company. The loan company owns
a cattle ranch on Silver Bow creek
in Deer Lodge county, below the
mining company's smelling works at
Butte, and the suit presented claim
for damages on the ground that the
smelter had filled the stream with
pulverized quartz, causing the water
to be poisoned by the liberated min
erals and TO overflow the grass land
of the complainant. II was contend
ed that the soil was greatly injured
and the water rendered unfit for use
The opinion in the case was handed
down by Justice Day and reversed
the decision of the United States
circuit court of Montana.

about Nevada's future:
Nevada is wonderful country, ;"
he said. In my Judgment it presents
more opportunities for the poor man
to mine than any other state of which
| am aware.

are found" he continued. In my
travels i'm remote places | have seen
development work going on-perhaps
very meager-but If l found any
where from two to 10 men at wind
lass | became satisfied that they all
had great expectations. | have seen
a number of cities of tents quite I'M
like any presentation In any state
that | have been in.
Il don't mean to say that all of
Nevada is like Goldfield, with its gil
gantic riches, but ! do mean to say
that If money can be found for de-
veloping such places as Rawhide, b.
ward and Hornsilver, very large and
important sections will be establish
ed. And who knows but what an
other bonanza Comstock vein may be
found?"
Continuing, Mr.. Newnouse said :.
Il don't believe that either Rawhide
or Tonopah have begun to be scratch
ed Future developments in both
will prove up new mines of big char
acter
"Goldfield is in her infancy. Be
lieve me, when | say this. | am posi-
tive that within a radius of five miles,
within the next few years, there will
be established new and important
mining enterprises. BY this, | mean
that the ore zone is not confined to
the immediate locality of the great

found to extend for several miles
around"

Frank Sperl came up from the mines of the Arizona-International mining company, at the old Copper Camp, last Tuesday night. He brought with him some excellent samples of vol frantic ores, which he exhibited to his friends. He says he has a nice showing of ore in the big schist belt, at the north end of the copper belt, and proposes to do considerable work on the veins. The ore is hubnerite, one of the most valuable of the rare minerals.

Peter McCardel, the well known civil and mining engineer, has gone to Los Angeles on a short vacation.
 Philip Irving Mason, an attorney of San Francisco, representing the New Comstock mining company, was in Kingman the past two days in confer ence with the local attorneys of the Company, Messrs McClelland and Gin der, making arrangements for the set clement of the litigation in which the company is involved.
 Louis Davidson, one of the oldest in- habitants of Mineral Park, is King man visitor this week, coming here as witness in the matter of the Terri tory of Arizona against James w.. Haas. Mir. Davidson during all of lis long residence in the Park has been the owner of mining property, from which he expects some day to make his fortune. His properties are among the promising mines of that section.
 There are ten carloads of ore on the dumps of the Golconda mine, Union Basin, ready for shipment to the smt lter. Mir. Boyle, superintendent and manager of the property is mak- ing an ( fort to have a better freight rate extended to the mine owners and producers of zinc ore, but so far the best rate that has been put in force over the Santa Fe is six dollars on ore valued at less than twenty-five dol lars.
 A new store has been established at Gold Flat by Los Angeles man. A large hotel is to be built at once to accommodate the people now going into the camp. It is really one of the most accessible of any of the camps on the desert, being right on the main line of the Santa Fe and only about seven miles from Kingman. The mines lie close in and can be reached by a wagon from any point. While only a few of the mines are being worked a large number are being gotten in shape for active development. Many prospectors are looking over the field and some very rich float rock has been brought in.
 Undersheritf J. P. Gideon departed to day to Cedar where he will sell all the property of the Benedictine min ing company next Monday. This is the company that went into Cedar about two years ago with an alleged capital of II, 1000, ,O00$ paid in and with capitalization of 20,000,000S. The company failed to carry out it's con- tracts and now owes about l5,000$ to workmen, teamsters, shopmen, etc. The property is all right, but the com pany apparently depended on sale of stock to keep the work going and fail ed in placing enough of it's shares on the market. This is the common mis- take of mining companies. that IS, at tempting to do 100,000S worth of work on an initial paid in capital of a few thousand dollars.

TWO MINUTE sketches
Sir Isaac Newton.
BY j. ~ ron

TN this age of doubt many OF our
most cherished legends are being
assaulted, the various apple sto-
ries along with the rest. There
nave been at least three famous apples
In history-the one eaten by Adam and
Eve. the one shot of his sons head by
william Tell and the one whose fall
suggested 10 Sir Isaac Newton the law
of gravitation. Despite the scofIing of
the higher criticism, we still cherish
these plppins and are determined to
stand by them.
Newton WAS rather a dull boy and
was literally kicked into exertion. lie
stood at the foot of his class and one
day was booted by the boy higher up.
The Newtonian spirit was aroused by
this lndignity, with the result that
young Isaac not only whipped the
kicker. but determined to go ahead OF
him In the class This he did. and
more, for he went 20 the head of the
row and stayed there.
The second spur to effort received by
the young man came at the time he
sought admission TO Cambridge univer-
sity. lie knew so little about Euclid
that the professor OF mathematics OPP
posed admitting him. Newton there
upon determined TO know Euclid and
succeeded 80 well that he became the
greatest mathematical genius OF mod
ern times.
voltaire started the story OF the APP
ole that fell and hit Newton so bard
that the young man determined TO find
out what made II fall. IL so great a
skeptic as yoltaire could swallow the
story. there IL no reason why II should
not be accepted by the other skeptics.
When Sir Isaac first made his com
putations on the subject OF gravita-
ton, he was misled by the erroneous
notions then held OF the length OF the
earth's radius, He therefore abandon
Ell the theory temporarily. Later the
error was corrected, when he returned
10 the subject, completed the demon
strntlon and gave II to the world IN his
famous principal"
In the meantime he had made his al
most equally famous discoveries con-

@OR eighteen years Christopher
- Columbus cherished the dream
OF finding land TO the west This
time was spent In Intellectual at-
tempts TO get money for the undertake
Ing. Almost every sovereign OF Eu-
rope was appealed to In vain. Poor.
friendless, almost alone. regarded by
many as insane. Columbus met rebuff
after rebuff, but would not give up his
dream. Finally he appealed TO FerdI-
nand and Isabella OF Spain. Ferdinand
was not convinced, but Isabella was
more favorably inclined and In the end
went so far as to pawn her own jew
els for the enterprise.
With the fitting out Of his expedi-
ton the troubles of the great dlscov-
erer were not ended. When twenty
days or more out In an unknown sea,
his sailors began 10 murmur, urging
him TO turn back. At last the muir
muring broke out into open mutiny
Still the bold navigator would not give
up. Quelllng the mutiny with what
ever measures were necessary, he
promised reward TO the first sailor
who discovered land. At last the voy-
age was ended, and goal greater than
he himself knew was won.
In all history there are few more in
spring examples OF faith than that OF
Columbus. He had only his own ideal
TO support him. Every one else doubt
ed II. Nearly score of years passed,
In which every attempt TO realize his
dream met with failure. 1t Is won
derful that doubt did not assail his
own heart. His was faith, II not to
remove mountains, at least 20 bring
new worlds into view. So great were
his troubles that they made him white
headed at thirty They pursued him
even 10 the end OF his life. At one
time he was thrown into prison. At
nearly all times he was misunder-
stood. Saddest of all. he died without
knowing that he had found two new
continents and that his humble trip
across the sea would open new era
In the history OF mankind.
Columbus was OF genuinely reli-
gious nature. which may account for
much of the trustful faith he had In bis
own inward prompting.
