THE PERFECTLY POISED MIND

A perfectly poised mind must be In

will never bring that perfect mental
balance. that divine serenity, which

100000, 1000 SURPLUS
cRoSS-ExAMINATIoN OF JOHN o.
ROCKEFELLER IN SUIT TO
DISSOLVE THE COMPANY.

New York-For over five hours Fri
day John d. Rockefeller, witness for
the defense in the government suit to
dissolve the Standard Oil Company,
faced an unceasing fire of questions
from the federal counsel. Frank B.
Kellogg, and wnen adjournment was
taken until Monday. the head Of the
oil combine was still being cross-ex-
aminel on the charge that the COM
pany In its early days accepted rebates
to the disadvantage of its rivals.
The enormous earning power OF the
oil combination was sharply brought
out in Fridays hearing when Mr.. Rock
efeller, after stating that the Stand
ard Oil had paid dividends amounting
to $iO,0OO.OO0 in 1907, said 1t had
earned as much more and that this
was added to the company's surplus.
which was stated by the governments
counsel to be $300,0O0,O00.
1t was further declared by Mr.. Kel-
logg that the company within the last
eight years had earned nearly half
billion dollars.
Rockefeller was forced to explain AL
detail rebate agreement with the
Pennsylvania Railway Company in
1877. At this time the company was
engaged in crushing out competition
by purchase, by secret agreements
like the one with the Pennsylvania,
and by other methods.
The oil kings most astonishing ad'
mission in this connection was that
the infant trust was not only. paid
rebate OF 90 cents barrel on its own
shipments. but a rebate on the ship
mcnts of oil by independents.
The trust made another agreement
by which 1t gained control of the Erie
and New York Central terminals and
compelled the Independents to pay
warehouse charges fixed by the Stand
ard. The oil king pleaded that the
charges were fair.
1t also dictated the freight rates to
be charged its rivals.
Rockefeller admitted that the trust
had received rebates through an
agreement entered into by the South
improvement Company, Standard
subsidiary. The witness declared that
this agreement was open to all trans
borters OF refined oil. but when asked
formed OF the agreement, he replied:
Il could not say"
Latr he admitted that precautions
were taken TO keep the agreement Sc
crct.
In response to questions about the
hazardous nature of the oil business,
owing to the possibility Of failure OF
supply. Rockefeller said that the pro-
duction. of crude oil in the Pennsyl-
vania field had steadily increased from
1862 to 1900.

KELLER EXTENSION TO
BE RUSHED TO FINIsH

Official announcement has been made
from the main Offices of the Southern
Pacific railroad in San Francisco that
the company will construct a railroad
from Mojave to Keller, in the Owens
valley, a the Los Angeles Express.
As a matter of fact, construction
work is now well under way out of
Mojave and the section extending to
Jawbone canyon will be completed and
ready to receive traffic within sixty
days.
That the railroad would build the
line was generally understood when the
board of public works recently awarded
it the contract for transplanting all
supplies and materials for the aqueduct
into the Owens valley. There is no rail
road further north than Te~haehapi OF
further south than Keller at the present
time.
The railroad officials have announced
that the narrow gauge road now in
operation from Tonopah Junction, in
Nevada, south to Keller, will eventually
be converted into a broad guage road
Later the new Owns Valley road will be
used as a cutoff for freight and passen.

of Humboldt House:
Today they are shipping ore that pays
and it is quite certain they have a good
mine. Shortly after the work was COM
menced paying stringers were found in
the mine and they were followed for
some distance on an incline. At a depth
of a hundred feet a well-defned and
valuable vein of ore was encountered.
A company was organized called the
Inlay Consolidated. The strike in the
mine soon attracted attention and work
was begun all around the country. Now
for a distance of twelve miles on the
northern slope of the Humboldt noun
tains something like fifteen mining COM
panies are operating and the prospects
for many of the properties are consid-
cred good. Those having the most work
done are in the Eagle, Cuttington and
Humboldt canyons and some good look
ing properties are being handled in the
Prince Royal, Eldorado, Antelope and
Black canyons.

that is making history for the new
camp. On the adjoining property to
the Knapp, which is now the estate of

Davis and Robinson have opened a vein
OF ore that resembles closely the high

MINING NEWS FROM ALL DISTRICTS


General Manager William Weber of
the Nevada Hills Mining company has
left for New York to meet Mrs. Weber
on her return from a trip around the
world. Mr.. Weber stated before leav-
ing for the east that the Nevada Hills
property at Fairview is in the best
shape in its history, and that every
thing was progressing smoothly since
the company adopted the Tonopah
scale of wages. The company gradually
is adding to its working force and 100
sacks of shipping ore are daily being
prepared for the market.
The Nevada Hills has ore in sight
and blocked on in sufficient quantities
to keep that mine in operation for many
months, if not years to come. There is
ore in all the workings, and ore of
high grade in value, and the strike on
the 150-foot level, the same ore body
struck again on the 200-foot level, be-
ing of a sulphide character, proves con-
clusively the %permaneney of this prop
erty as a producer.
