A representative OF The Eagle went
out % the A. and NJ. College in order
10 learn how the trolly proposition
n looked at from that end OF the line
Come Of those whom he desired TO
see were too busy TO spare even few
minutes but by patience and persever-
ence he secured several interviews
which are good reading. Here they
are:
Pres. Miner said: "You may say that
we are all heartily In favor Of the
proposition TO bring the A. and NJ.
College and Bryan into closer rela-
lions by means of a rapid transit line,
There are many. very many reasons
for II and none against IT, In the
present congested condition of the
College II would be OF incalculable ad.
vantage to us In helping to take care
OF the overflow OF students. II Is not
our policy 10 provide business facili-
ties at the college and Bryan is well
able to supply US with all that we shall
ever need In that line, provided
we have an easy and speedy means OF
communication between the two pla-
ces. We are willing to do whatever
we can consistently to promote the
enterprise"
Prof. G. p. Fountain Is enthusiast
tically In favor OF the trolly line. He
said: 1T seems to me this is Bryan's
opportunity. Our buildings are all
crowded to their utmost capacity and
we can't get tents fast enough to ac-
commodate the overflow OF students.
II we had the trolley line many Of the
Instructors and employees OF the Col
lege would live In Bryan and their
cottages here could be used for dor
mitories for students. In an emergen-
cy like the present the faculty would
permit students to board in Bryan.
though I don't believe that will ever
be the permanent policy OF the Col
Iege. The Legislature will make pro-
vision for all necessary buildings--the
people OF Texas demand It. The Col
lege authorities must discourage ex.
travagance and other bad habits that
would result from allowing the stu
dents to be on the streets Of Bryan
without restraint. but II is probable
that provision viii be made for stu
dents who live In Bryan to board at
home. This would induce many who
have sons TO educate to make their
homes In Bryan. and such always

This would add much 10 the pleasures

many ways.

F., Prof. wellborn: "The large opening
In spite OF adverse conditions shows
that with average crops and normal
conditions the number OF students
would be very much greater. II Ia my
opinion that 4 the circumstances had
had been altogether favorable we
should have had at least 1900 to begin
with. II Is as certain as anything In
the future can be that In a few years

ing force and the greater the number
of employees. More business and more
travel will follow OF course. In my
opinion the trolley line will prove to
be very profitable investment, in a
few years IL not from the first.
Prof. Alvord: Il can best express
my opinion OF the situation by giving
you a sketch OF what was done and
the result where the conditions were
similar. The Agricultural college of
Michigan Is three and one half miles
east OF Lansing. In 1898 there was a
little dinkey car line from the city to
racetrack about half way to the col
lege, but II was OF little or no adyan.

students then was about 400. In 1895
the car line was extended 10 the gate

from the buildings. There was large
increase In the number of students.

extended to the center OF the campus

hen half way to the college. and large
cars were put on. The number of
students is now over 1900. many OF
whom board and lodge in the city. the
iormltory accommodations being less
than 500. A thriving residence city,
Known as East Lancing, has grown
up around the college. OF which Ian
sing gets the business. It's citizens
are people who came there TO educate
heir children. and these, you know
are the best class Of people. The city
has constructed a paved boulevard
along the carline to the college, which
Ill the way Is lined with beautiful sub
urban homes. In granting the fran.
chise the legislature limited the fare
TO five cents. What was done at Ian
sing could be done at Bryan. with
similar results"

present we have a College population

In conclusion Prof. Fountain re-
marked that Il was his private opin
ion that II the trolley line were In
operation now 800 students would Re
boarding In Bryan. He also referred
to the fact that Canyon City, with less
than half the population OF Bryan, had
raised for the West Texas Normal

OF seven i0-acre tracts OF land as a
site

mandant Of cadets. does not favor any
plan that will interfere with the mill
tary dicipline OF the College. but the
trolley line need not do that. Many
of the professors. instructors and en-
ployes would prefer to live in Bryan
and could do so without any detriment
to the interests of the College, and
the residences on the campus now
occupied by them could be utilized as
dormltories for the students. The
money appropriated by the legislature
could then be used in the consfruc-
tion OF academic building5 and In pro- |
viding equipment. which are very |
much needed, and In building more
dormltories. Capt. Moses also re-
ferred briefly TO the increased busl-
ness, social and religious privileges
that would result from more intimate
relations between the town and the
College.

Therefore they would patronize the

It would become a paying investment
In a comparatively short space of
time. However I would not like to
see trolley line interfere in any

opinion the dormitory system is the
OF the boys who come here.
They are under rules that restrain
them: these rules put down any ten

CONSOLIDATION SHOULD
BETTER STOCK PRICES

The reported consolidation OF the Utah
Copper company and the Boston Con-
solidated company should be of tremen-
dous value TO the shareholders of both
companies. The properties owned by the
two corporations dovetail, to consid
cradle extent, and the physical advan-
tages from the union are OF the great
est Importance After the absorption,
the Utah Copper. company would have
an Issued capital of approximately l..
050.O0 shares, and II should be able TO
produce copper Immediately at the rate OF
nearly 100. 600, 900 pounds per annum. and
at a cost of about cents per pound.
The potentialities of the increased Utah
Copper company, always assuming that
THIS reported consolidation is effected.
would certainly point to a. production
OF 100. 000 600 pounds per annum: and GER
tainly ut no increased cost per pound, and
such an output would be achieved with
i'm a comparatively short time The i'm
portance OF such producer In the cop
per world is not likely TO be over-esti-
mated even by some of the enthusiasts.

ELY CENTENNIAL
TUNNEL CUTS ORE
Rapid Progress Being Made in
Effort to Reach Objective
Point.

e. W, Grlffiths, the wellknown min
ing man who is attracting considerable
attention Of late by his operations in
the Ely district, where he has recently
launched the Ely. y.Centennial company,
was in the city Tuesday, attending to
various business matters. Mr. Grif-
fiths states that he already has a crew
of eighteen men at work on the Cen
tdnnial, and the force will be increased
as soon as room can conveniently be
made for them, The men arc working
in three shifts in the tunnel which is
being driven TO cut the five parallel
veins already exposed, and excellent
progrss is being made. Already in the
course of the development work ore has
been encountered in blind tissure,
which shows assay returns of s per
cent copper, Sl.S0 gold and ten ounces
silver. This discovery was unexpected,
as the first OF the well-detned lcdges
showing on the surface has not yet been
reached. When the tunnel now being
run makes the connections planned Il
depth of from 200 to 250 feet on the
ore bodies will have been attained.
Activity Everywhere.
Mr.. Griffiths is most loyal supporter
of the Ely district, and expresses him
self as being confident that the sec
ton is destined to surpass even the
many glowing promises made for it.
Great activity is being displayed by
every operator in the camp, and much
extensive work not yet under way is
planned.
At the Ely Calumet. Mr., Griffiths
states, force Of workmen is engaged
in grading for the necessary buildings.
and making preparations for the install
lation of the machinery now on it's

VERY GOOD Showing
Work in Tunnel and Shaft
Will Be Vigorously
Prosecuted.

Assays on picked sample OF the ore
recently uncovered In the Phoebe N-Ray
property at Phoebe give returns of 10lo
ounces silver. 81 per cent lead and 10
gold, and Mine Manager Taylor informs
the Ploche Record that average samples
OF tho product will show better than
500 ounces in silver. with good values
in other metals.
The strike was made In a crosscut from
the bottom of the shaft-about 100 feet
from the portal OF the tunnel-wh!cn
WAS sunk about the time that Mr. Tuy-
lor began the development OF the claims,
something like two years ago. The
strike is in n beddcd vein ranging In
width two and one-half to five feet, but
the high grade silvcr-lcad ore comes from
streak from two to ten inches wide.
The balance of the vein, carrying around
30 per cent lead, 80 ounces in silver wish
gold associated.
Mr.. Taylor Is much pleased, natural
ly so. with the condition OF things at
the X-Ray and states that aa soon as
the assessment work on the outside
claims Ia completed. the main tunnel VIII
be pushed on into the mountain as rapid
ly as possible to intercept the resource:
while at tho same time, explorations VIII
be continued In the shaft. The face
OF the tunnel Is about I50 feet from
where the bedded hssure should bs cut
and at a point 40 feet vertical depth
from the surface.

DULUTH CAPITALISTS
WANT LEONORA MINE
Salt Lake Interests Are Push,
ing Development and Get
Good Results.

Splendid progress is being made, 1T
is said, in the development of the
property of the Leonora company in
Beaver county. For moro than year
now the Salt Lake owners Of the
ground have been furnishing funds for
the work, and while they have always
had great faith in the future OF their
prospect they feel especially encour-
aged at the present time, owing to
recent developments in the Red War
rior mine. Tho Leonora group is on
the same north and south ore zone
which is proving up so rich in the
Warrior property, and its formation is
also characterized by the east and west
assures which go to make the ore in
that section. 4 contract for the driY
ing of another 100 feet of tunnel has
been let, and when this is completed
attained in this tunnel, which is being
sent in TO tap the ore zono at depth.
1t is understood that Duluth capital
lists, who are already largely interested
in the district through the Red War
rior and other properties, have made
strong bids for the control of the Leo"
nora, but the present owners are loath
to part with their holdings, and will
continue development in their own be-
half. In the early days of the Leo
nora s history considerable ore was pro-
duced from the workings near the sur
face, and now that the district is
responding to development at depth, it
is considered that The prospects are
especially encouraging. II. w. Horne,
A. w. Carlson, John Matson and A. n.
Holloway are the heavy interests in
the company.
