Midway

With over $4,000 in the treasury
and forty men employed the pros
poets of the Midway mine have never
looked better. This is the largest
force of men ever employed during
the history of the mine and conse-
quently there is lot of development
and prospecting work being done.
Only enough ore to pay the mining
expenses is being extracted. The
company is shipping in the neighbor-
hood of 400 tons a month to the mills
at Millers. They are doing more
prospecting work this year than has
been done formerly and considerable
of this is being done on small string
ers and veins which were cut while
prosecuting the country and they are

Belmont

The total number of feet worked
in the Belmont during the past week
is rather small compared to the pre-
vious weeks report. But $50 feet
was worked. The small advance is
due to the placing of large humble.
of miners on the lower levels where
a good strike has been made.
On thes900 level, the west drift on
the south vein has advanced ten feet
and is now in over 2S3 feet. The
face of the drift shows two feet of
high grade ore. The slopes on the
south vein of this drift are opened
up for about 100 feet in length and
show an average width of three feet
of fair grade ore. Stopping is being
done on the Nevada vein on this
level and the ledge has been opened
up for a distance of 225 feet in
length. The vein runs from one to
two feet in width and has high grade
milling values.
The east crosscut on CA vein, on
the 1O00-foot level is now in 265
feet, or an advance of thirty-six feet
during the week. The face of the
drift is still in porphyry. This cross
cut will connect with tile old Bel
mont. shaft and they now have about
800 feet to go before the connection
is made. The stope from the 1909
drift, which is known as the 1856
stope has been opened up for dis
lance of 100 feet and has about two
and one-half feet of high grade pay
rock in sight.
In the east drift No 2, from the
bottom of the winze from the 1909
level, which is down 1875 feet from
that level, a two-foot ledge was
struck Monday. The values them
gave the ore low grade qualifica-
ton, but now the ledge has widened
and is about four and one-half feet
across. The values are of a high
grade milling and as the work is adj
vancing the width and values are in
creasing. The face of the drift is in
twenty-five feet from the winze and
has advanced ten feet during the
past week.
Raise No. 1, from the west drift
No. /, on the 100 level, is now up
fifty-five feet and has advanced nine
teen feet in a week. The top of the
raise is all in good grade of ore.
The exact width of the vein is not
known but it has been proven to be
over eight feet wide. The east drift

FIRE THREATENS BIG
CHICAGO HOTEL
Hundred Thousand Dollar Blaze
in Grand Pacific} Guests
Make HaSty Exits,

IBy Morning journal s2eciaN iaasSd wire.
Chicago March 20-Fire resulting
ing from crossed electric light wires.
damaged the Grand Pacific hotel to-
day to the extent OF 100000 and for
d time threatened entire destruction
OF the building. No lives were lost
although many OF the guests were
compelled TO make hasty exits by the
fire escape and but three persons were
injured Two OF these were in the
crowd in front of the hotel and We're
slightly cut by falling glass. The
third was a fireman, who suffered a
fracture of the left arm. The fire was
discovered by James Ryan, a mechan-
ic, who was at work upon the roof OF
the building. Two weeks ago por-
ton of the hotel smokestack was
blown down in a gale Of wind and
Ryan was in charge of a gang which
was putting up the new stack lie
was in the act Of placing a block un-
der one corner Of a derrick when a
small tongue of flame shot up into
his face He at once gave the alarm.
For Il considerable time it was not
believed that the fire would be serious.
1t was generally known that repairs
on the smokestack were in progress
and when the first clouds OF smoke
rolled along the roof and drifted
down into the hotel court they were
generally believed to come either from
the defective stack or from the appa-
ratus in use by the WurlSmen on the
roof. Manager E. A. Whipple of the
hotel for some time COntended that
there was no fire and assured guests
that ther- was no danger He was
soon informed by bell boy, how
la had hrnlypIt
through the roof at the northwest cor
rer of the building and Immediately
issued orders to warn guests to leave
their rooms and come to the office.
The telephone switch board was at
once put into operation and all guests
possible were advised to leave their
rooms. A corps of walters and other
hotel attendants hurried through the
Railways giving additional warning
Dense clouds of smoke poured out
of the building, 1t was soon evident
that the halls afforded no certain
safety and many of the guests came
down the fire escapes on the east,
south and west sides.
The flames were confined by des-
perate work to the north wing of the
hotel When the employees of the no.
tel responded to the calls of Ryan they
found a linen closet on the eighth iloor
to be entirely ablaze. From this point
flames spread along the entire north
Part of the eighth floor from the rear
Of the building to the front ate
through into and cleaned out the same
portion of the seventh floor, and also
DESTROYED the rear portion Of the sixth
floor. At this point the fire was check
ed after a severe struggle, The en-
tire hotel however, was completely
flooded with water and the damage
from this latter source constituted th1
larger part of the loss

FINDS
BIG GRAFT IN
SUBMARINES
MILLION DOLLARS OF
UNNECESSARY PROFIT
Statement Filed With House
Inquiry Brands Electric Boat
Company as Get-Rich-Quick
Concern,


by Morning journal Special Leased "lro'l
Washington, March 20.--In sup
port of his assertions that more than
one million dollars Of unnecessary
profit had been paid by the United
States government to the Electric
Boat company in the purchase OF
submarine torpedo boats, ana that
similar high profits were contemplate
ed in pending contracts proposed to
be awarded to that company, Repre-
sentative Iilley CConneCticuD has
prepared for submission to the special
submarine investigation committee Of
the house certain statements, com
parsuns and conclusions,
The statements include facts from
the hearings before the house naval
affairs committee in 1901 ana 1902,
when Rear Admirals Melville, O'Neil
land BoWles were examined as To the
cost Of construction of submarine tor
pedo boats. In his statement Admiral
|O'Neil said that from his own OBJ
serVatiOn he thought 100000 each
would be very liberal price for the
Holland boats, the contracts for which
MI Lilley complains call for a pur-
chase price Of S2S5,000 per boat
Admiral Melville testified thai the
probable cost Of the manufacture of a
Holland boat was between 100000
made in 1901 when the Holland was
81 feet long and it was proposed to
increase this length to so feet. These
new boats, said Admiral Melville,
would also have a greater storage bat
terry and would naturally cost more
money probably as much aus ninety
thousand dollars.
Admiral BoWles explained that the
department had estimated $l25,000
per boat as a proper appropriation
ON account Of the probable cost OF
conducting experiments TO satisfy
the department Of the efficiency Of
The boats before acceptance,
In note accompanying these quo
tations, Mr.. Lilley says:
sat the time Rear Admiral Bowles
made the foregoing statements he
was chief Of the bureau Of construc-
lion and repairs of the navy depart
meHt and necessarily had iauch 10 do
with the construction OF craft Of this
character
Continuing Mr.. Lilley says.
Therefore. basing calculations up
on the figures of Admiral Bowles,
which he says would give a handsome
profit to the builders of the Holland
boats-namely $Sg,I59 for a 12l-ton
boat or $73l per ton--it viii readily
be seen by comparative statements
that there has been an extra round
profit of $1,519,73S since the United
States contracted for the first Holland
boat, the Plunger, in March 1899; and
it will be seen that the excessive prof
its to be made on the eight boats
which it is now proposed to buy from
the Electric Boat company would be
$1.471,520.

Appellate Court to Pass on APP
pIication for HabeaS Corpus
Writ Asked for Noted San
Francisco Captive,

san Francisco March 20.-Abraham
Ruef, the former political boss of san
Francisco. indicted upon ll6 charges
of bribery, appeared before the ap-
pelate court this morning on a writ
Of habeas corpus IN the matter of bail
which aggregates $1.l15,0G0, Ru2f
contends that this sum is eNnrhitunt
and unreasonable. that there are thr-
ty-seVen duplicate indictments again s.
him on which the bail is $3.50 600 Of
which he should be relieved and that
the bail on the remaining indictments
is excessive and should be reduced.
The court of appeals granted a writ
for the purpose OF fixing the matter
Of bail. Assistant District Attorney r.
j. HeneN presented an affidavit setting
forth that Ruef was himself wealthy
that he had wealthy co-defendants
and that the assistant district attur-
ney had reason to believe there was a
conspiracy to get Ruef out Of the
country. Heney stated to the court
that Ruef would be convicted largely
upon the testimony OF one witness
James L. Gallagher, chairman of the
finance committee OF the "blouding
board" of supervisors, who confessed
to receiving the alleged bribe moneys
from Ruef and divided them among
the other supervisors that he was pre-
pared to show that efforts had been
made to kidnap Gallagher and get him
out of the county and that the Uni
ted Railroads defendants had actual
ly attempted to kidnap former super
visor Thomas Lonergan, who died re-
Gently, the day before the witness tes-
titled in the trial of Tirey l.. Ford
1t was apparent that some Of the
Judges did not agree with HencN's
contention that the law did not con
template that defendant was entitled
to bail as a matter of right. Judge
Cooper presided and also disagreed
with the views Of the assistant dis
trict attorney that the court Of appeals
was not in position to pass upon the
duplicate indictments. He held that
it would consider lnem and that they
were y factor 70 tGoasdered "a the
matter Of bail Asked for list Of
the duplicate indictments Heney said:
I'VE don't concede there are many.
We do not intend to file any list of
any kind upon behalf of the district
attorneys office"
"The district attorney Is an officer
of this court and should assist it, re-
piled Judge Cooper Turning to Mul-
phy, Rucfs assistant counsel the.
judge said:
III the district attorney refuses to
make out a list for this court yhu
can file one if it is not contradicted,
we will consider that it is correct
one"
Heney then explained that he meant
no disrespect TO the court but that IL
was merely a question of law which
caused the district attorney to take
that attitude.

Rome, March 20.-The Duke or
Abruzzi Is returning to Rome, accord
ing to report in wide circulation
here tonight, to obtain the full con-
sent of King Victor Emmanuel to his
marriage to Miss Katherine Elkns,
daughter of stephen b. Elkins of West
Virginia. Although confirmation Of the
report is lacking the fact that no Of
fetal denial has been given out in
Rome and the statement made at
Washington that the duke would again
visit America in the near future seem
to lend considerable weight to it.
Should it prove true that the dukes
return to Rome at this time is for
the purpose of obtaining royal consent
to his marriage, some announcement
on the subject is likely to follow his
arrival here italian court etiquette
provides that i'm the case of the mar
riage Of any members of the royal
family official announ ament must be
made several weeks in advance Of the
event by the preieCt Of the palace to
the reigning houses, the royal prln-
cess, members of the diplomatic corps
and high officials of state The house
of Savoy would be represented on such
an occasion sbsa one of its princes.
probably one Of the brothers Of the
Duke of Abruzzi
If the marriage of the duke and
Miss ElIins should take place in Che
United States and hn legalized accord
ing to the law of that country, the
only formality necessary in Italy
would be the insertion in the books
of records containing the certificates
of births deaths and marriage of the
