President Roosevelt on Buck.
ket Shop Gambling.

SlueOt hOOseVelt makes 6peclnc re-
ference to the evils of bucket shop
gambling and suggests that the
use of the mails and the interstate
telegraph lines be denied to such
gambling operators. At the same
time he warns Congress to be very
careful in framing a law on the
subject in order that the useful
and legitimate functions of the
properly conducted exchanges be
not injured or impaired. He points
out that the great bulk of the bust
ness transacted on the exchanges
is not only legitimate, but is nec-
essary to the working of our mo-
dern industrial system, and Sex
treme care would have to be taken
not to interfere with this business.
The president's views are of pc
culiar interest to the people of
Mississippi, Oklahoma and Louisi-
ana. In Mississippi efforts are
now being made to secure the en-
actment of the Boddie anti-future
trading bill which, while driving
out the bucket shops, also prohi-
bits in one way or another the
buying and selling of cotton for
future delivery, the hedging of le-
gitimate business by producers,
merchants and consumers and at
tacks in vital points the contract
trading system maintained and SUI
pervised by the New Orleans Cot
ton Exchange. The Boddie bill
does not come within the scope of
good Legislation as outlined by
the President.
In Oklahoma, The Durant anti.
bucket shop bill is now, apparent
ly, in fair way to become a law.
1t drives bucket shops out, but
protects the legitimate cotton ira
der and the system of creating a
market in advance for cotton
through the facilities offered by
the future market. The Durant
bill comes within the scope ofgood
legislation as outlined by Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
In Louisiana, Col. Marston and
other advocates of extreme mea-
sures announce their intention to
urge the passage of prohibitive
laws directed against the New Or
leans Cotton Exchange despite the
fact that cotton values as quoted
by the New Orleans Cotton Ex-
change are higher than those of
either New York or Liverpool.
Some fifteen or twenty anti-op-
ton, anti-future trading and anti
bucket shop bills are now pend
ing before Congress.
On this subject President Roos-
evelt said: II do not know whe.
Their it is possible, hut if possible,
it is certainly desirable, that in
connection with treasures to re-
strain stock watering and overca-
pitalization there should be mea-
sures taken to prevent at least the
grosser forms of gambling in Sc.
curities and commodities, such as
making large sales of what men do
not possess and "Cornering" the
market.
Legitimate purchases of COM
modities of stocks and securities
for investment have no connection
whatever with purchases of stocks

case was dismissed by the county attorney

s. NJ. Levy of the National Development

RICH STRIKE
IN COTTONWOOD
Three Feet of Remarkably Fine
GaIena Is Opened in the
Bramburg Property.

Samples of the ore and particulars con-
corning a rafting fine strike that has
just been made in the Big Cottonwood
district were brought down yesterday
morning by w. i. Harwood, manager of
the Park City Mining & Power COM
pany's property.
The strike was made in what is popu-
larry known as the John Bramburg prop
erty, just west of the Kennebec and
wedged in by that property, the Baby
Mckee, Harwoods mines and the Old
Carbonate. After driving a tunnel for
90 feet the ledge vas tapped at a depth
of something like 400 feet from the foot
wall side. Clinging to the foot-wall was
found three feet of the finest looking ga
lena imaginable. An average sample of
the entire three feet gave returns of %
per cent lead and 40 ounces silver, with
a little copper. When Mr. HarWood left
camp prosecuting of the ledge was stu
under way, with nothing to indicate when
the hanging wall side would be reached.
Beyond the three feet of galena, beau
tifUl white quartz, showing masses Of
garnet crystals, some of which seemed
nearly perfect, was being driven through
when Mr.. Harwood left the property, and
the impression at the mine was that, as
the hanging wall was approached, ore
would be found again.

SILVER MONEY
SCARCE ARTICLE
Government Is Forced by Me-
CeSSity to Renew Purchases
of the White Metal.

Washington, Oct. 1.-Director of the
Mint Leach announced today that he
would this week resume the purchase of
fine silver for subsidiary coinage. He
states that he expects to purchase about
125,o00 ounces each week for an indefi-
mite period. The first purchase may not
be made until early next week
Director Leach said he was confident
the purchases would be made as long as
there was an active demand for the coin.
The mint now has hand only about
100000 ounces Of fine silver and this
supply would soon be exhausted at the
present rate of demand. For several
months prior TO the late financial strin-
gency the demand for subsidiary coins
was so active as to necessitate the opera
tons of the minis to their full capacity
but the demand fell off until there was
an accumulation in the treasury in April
last of about S27.0O0,0O0 in standard dol
lars and S26.O000O0 in subsidiary coins.
Early in the summer the call for sill
yer dollars became more active and soon
the supply was practically exhausted. At
tention was then directed to the halves
and other subsidiary coins, with the re-
suit that now there is only about S22l,-
coo available. Notwithstanding the fact
that in September 1864. 900 in silver sub
sidiary was coined and added to
the stock on hand Mr.. Leach expects
still stronger demand when the cot
ton crop begins to move and the de-
ciSion to purchase more silver is in an
ticipatiOn of this demand.

UNITED STATES COMPANY
EARNINGS THIS YEAR
pollock Private Wire.)

Boston, Oct. 1.-For the first three
quarters of the present calendar year we
are informed that earnings of the Unit
ed States Smelling, Refining & Mining
company have shown a small surplus
above dividend requirements. Such re
81, 100000 per annum. The company's earn
ings for the full year are expected to be
in the neighborhood of Sc, O00.O 600 which es-
ent plant and mine capacity and the pres
ent volume of business. Earnings should
have been s.. 10000 greater this year if
normal conditions had prevailed. Indi-
cations all point to a material increase in
earnings during the last quarter of the
year, because of the improved price of
the metals and the fact that the COM
pany is now operating about all of its
various smelling plants.
