New and powerful hosting machinery
has been ordered for the Wild Bill, and
the coming year will see lively cam

An Experts Opinion.
To illustrate what outside mining
talent thinks of the Beaver county
mining region. it is worth while TO re-
produce what ". J. Merritt said last
summer, when he was in Salt Lake
marketing ore from the Red Warrior
company's ground. as follows:
Il came from Montana here. and
when 1 got down into Beaver county
and commenced to make study Of CON
ditions. l wondered how it was that
thousands of people could go racing
through that magnificent mineral re-
gion. right on the railroad, and within
few hours of Salt Lake and all the
comforts of modern existence. and sur
rounded by perfect conditions for min
ing, to go through the desert wastes OF
Nevada to take hold of things not hair
as inviting. The more I see of mining
in Beaver county the more I marvel
over the manner in which the country
has been neglected. Mining men are
beginning to appreciate its worth now.
however, and l believe that the mines
down there will rank with the best in
the world before long. The formation
and its peculiarities are better under
stood now than they used to be and
money can be invested with more posi-
tive assurance of success. II used to
be that the claim was afraid TO go
down. though i'm most instances this
fear was brought on more as a result
of lack of means and an imperfect con-
ception of geographical and mineral
ogical conditions than lack Of nerve, 50
in a great measure il was inexcusable.
but there is lots of good work being
done down there now and the develop
ments of the past year or two in such
properties as the Moscow have shed lots
of light Gil underground conditions and
caused operators to become anxious To
get depth. Great results will follow the
work now being done at many proper
ties, and il will not be long till the
mines of Beaver county viii attract
wide attention and much capital"

terprise is one of the biggest things
that has happened in Utah mining cir

or no doubt that the property will be
earning big money during the next few

Horn Silver and Cactus.
The Horn Silver company's mines,
under the management of NJ. c. Morris,
have made a splendid record during the
year in the matter of new ore develop
ment. On account of the company's
inability to market ore on satisfactory
terms. however. the output has been
greatly restricted and no attempt has
been made to pay dividends A con-
tract was finally secured with the Tin
tic Smelling company, but before good
start had been made the plant closed
down to make changes and install new
power lines. and since smelling was re-
sumed few weeks ago, the reduction
company has not sufficiently cleaned UP
the accumulated ores to permit the
Horn Silver to resume shipments. If
the word has not already been given
to resume shipping. it will be, most
likely, during the next few days AS
the bins are full of ore and every avail
able space in the workings is longest

Washington, April 21-As the re-
suit of number of conferences which
Chairman Cullom of the senate CON-
mittee on foreign relations has had
recently with President Roosevelt
and Secretary Root. it is probable
that before the adjournment of the
present session of congress blanket
authority will be voted to the presi.

such manner as subsequent events
may require to uphold the dignity Of
the United States and to protect the
interests of American citizens. A res
olution giving such authority to tho
president has been drafted by Senator
Cullom and approved by the president
and Secretary Root.
Under such authority the admins.
tration would again demand the sub
mission to srbitration of claims of
American citizens and corporations
against Venezuela. If Mr.. Castro
should continue his present attitude
there is no question that the Ameri-
can government would have the pow
ed to resort to force. Furthermore,

program would be adopted.

CHARGES ARE REITERATED
Man Who Started Inquiry Insists That
Excessive Profits Were Made
in Contracts.

Washington. April 19.-Representa-
tive Lilley, under whose resolution a
special committee of the house has
beer investigating the Electric Boat
company. reiterated his charges yes
terday before the committee that the
company has made excessive profits
on the contracts it has secured from
the United States government, and
the most rigid cross-examination by
members of the committee, assisted
by Martin Littleton. attorney for the
Electric company. failed to make him

Probe ReIentlessly.
Mr.. Howard. Mr.. Stevens and Mr.,
Olmsted manipulated the probe re-
lentlessly and vigorously, the latter
two especially trying to get the author
of the charges to admit that the sec
retaries and other officials of he navy
department were incompetents and
that they We're fooled and duped in
entering into contracts with the Elec-

Mr.. Stevens devoted more than an
hour to remarkably earnest effort to
have Mr.. Lilley charge the secretary
of the navy and his predecessors with

ALpRIcH BILL LAID ON TABLE.
House Committee Unanimously Lays
Measure to Rest.

House Committee Unanimously Lays
Measure to Rest.
Washington, April 10. = The house
committee on banking and currency
yesterday voted unanimously to table
the Aldrich financial bill. 1t also was
decided to give a hearing to-day TO
Rep: esentative Vreeland of New
York, who recently introduced finan-
cial bill which is looked upon as a
substitute for the Aldrich measure.
The discussion ir committee was
brief. The only point debated was as
as to whether the committee should
make formal report giving it's rea-
cons to the house for it's unfavora bic
acton, and the conclusion finally Nas
reached that no reasons should be
given. Consequently the commits as
report will be mere statement OF the
action Of the committee.
vreeIand Bill Next.
The Vreeland bill, introduced in
the house last week as substitute
for tho Aldrich bill, and which, it is
understood, is to be considered at a
Republican caucus to be held next
week, ..as not considered at yestvr-
days meeting of the committee.
Chairman Fowler and other mem
bers Of the committee refused to be
quoted as to the probable fate Of the
Vree,aLd bill.
The tabling CT the A]drich bill will
result in currency legislation being
perfected by conferences of the two
branches of congress if the house car
i'ies ont the probable program of now
cassns the Vreeland bill.
In that event. when the house meas
nre would come to the senate, all after
the enae.ing clause would be struck
out and the provisions of the Aldrich
bill substituted. The effect would !,e
to put both the Vreeland and the Aid
rich bills into conference and from
them currency bill probably would
be agreed upon.

Squadron of Eleven Warships
Will Make Demonstration
in Turkish Waters.
MAY OCCUPY SMALL ISLAND
Hopes That Turkey Will See Error of
Her Ways and Give Com
plete Satisfaction.

Rome, April 21.-An Italian squad.
ron, under command of Admiral Gre
not, will set out probably to-day for
the purpose of making demonstration
in Turkish waters. The squadron
comprises eleven warships. Alto
gether the vessels will carry 5,O95
men, and their objective point will be
Asia Minor, some seven hundred
miles away.
1t has been decided, if it is deemed
necessary. also to occupy small ISL
and off that coast, but it is hoped
here that Turkey may see the error of
her ways and give full satisfaction, so
that more energetic measures may
be avoided: The difficulty between the
two nations arises out of the refusal
of the Turkish government to permit
the installation of Italian pcstof1ices
in Turkish territory, while at the
same time other foreign nations have
established and are conducting post
Offices there without interference.
Much Irritation in Italy.
Considerable irritation has been
felt here over the murder of an Italian
missionary in Tripoli and the prosecu.
ton by the Ottoman authorities of
natives who have sold land to Ital-
ians, but the present action of the
Italian government is based primarily
on the postoffice question.
For years it has been felt in gov
eminent circles in Rome that Turkey
has been taking advantage of the in
ternational situation to act i'll a high.
handed manner toward Italians, show
ing but little respect for Italian rights.
This government, it is stated, has
been indulgent, not wishing to cause
complications which might endanger
the accord of the powers with regard
to the Ottoman or the Balkan prob
lens.
Turned Down by Turkey.
In addition there has been much op-
position on the part of Turkey to all
peaceful Italian initiative i'll Tripoli.
and matters reached climax when
Ita.y asked for permission to open
postoffices in Turkish territory where
other powers already were establish
el and met with what is considered
by the administration here as unjusti-
fable refusal. for. besides being an
acquired right. Italy considers that
she is entitled to claim it according
to treaties between the two countries
granting her the privileges of the
most favored nation.
Apparently Turkey came to the COLI
clusion that the Italian government
would never resort to extreme meas
ures. in view of the fact that the
Macedonian problem is pending. for
the settlement of which the accord of
the powers is indispensable, and she
went so far as to order detachments
of troops to guard the Italian post
Offices and thus prevent the work
from being carried OH.
To this provocation the Italian adj
ministration felt that it could only re-
ply with coercive measures in order
to protect the. dignity of Italy and
safeguard her rights.

CLERGYMAN KILLS HIMSELF
Sensational Scandal Is Brought K
Light by Suicide.

SeHSd1ionat scandal Is Brought to
Light by Suicide.
Woodbury., N. j., April 10. - This
quiet little town was greatly shocked
yesterday over the sensational suicide
of Rev. George W. Tomson, pastor Of
the Woodbury. Presbyterian church,
and the subsequent developments,
which involved the names of at least
three women of this place.
Mr.. Tomson was found dead in the
Newton hotel with a bullet in his
brain.
But the sensation caused by his sui.
eide was as nothing compared with
the conditions that were developed
when the clergynan's friends search
ed for motive for his act
About week ago public announce
ment was made Of Mr.. Tomson's en-
gagement to we'd Mrs. Fannie Ken
worthy, wealthy widow of this place
and a member of his church.
When the tragedy came yesterday
it was learned that the preacher had
been paying attention to another
woman. This woman is alleged to
have declared in a meeting of Sunday
school teachers that MI Tomson had
promised to marry her. and She fur
tker declared that he never would
marry Mrs. Kenworthy.
Now that the clergyman is dead
there are many stories coming out as
to the life he led, but how many of
, y,
! certain.
Mrs. Elizabeth Johnson, a wisow,
who nrrsei Mr.. Tomson's wife in her
last illness, had told members CT the
congregation since the Sunday school
meeting that the minister had been
attentive to her.
