MANY THINGS WANTED
BY MINING CONGRESS
NATIONAL BUREAU AND GREAT
Err USE OF SILVER.
Introduction of a Resolution Aimed at
Forestry Policy.

Goldfield, Sept. 27.--=Much matter of
great interest was laid before the as
sembled delegates of the American
mining congress today. The efforts of
the congress to secure greater COM
mercial usage of silver and the need
Of national mining department were
the principal topsSs, although the ad
dress of A. B. Ruggles of San Fran
cisco on the important part played by
the stock exchange of that city in the
development of the Comstock lode. and
that of Herman S. Zadig of San Fran
cisco, in which the broker sharply ar
raigned the practice of Incorporating
mining companies with worcestershire
stock were well received. Because of
the lateness of the report of the COM
mittee on the vertical side line law il
was referred to the committee on res
olutions without reading. This action
brought forth protest from some
delegates and the chairman promised
that the resolution would be presented
later.
resolution was presented by Rus
sci Dunn of San Francisco, an engi-
neeT Calling on tHe utpdf theHe VI Shc
interior to remove certain forestry re-
strictions. In its wording the resolu-
ton suggested an attack upon the ad-
ministration of the forestry depart
ment. From the talk among the dele
gates about the hotels it is evident that
strong opposition to any censure Of
Pinchot, chief forester, will develop on
the floor Several delegates declared
themselves converted to the forest
conservation plans.
Tomorrow the delegates will have
little time for the transaction of busi-
ness, as they will go to Tonopah. the
pioneer camp of this part of the state.
A session of the congress will be held
there, but it will not convene until late
in the afternoon and will continue into
the night.

OLD TRICK or PEARrs
Discourtesy to Rival Ex-
plorers : Whitney Says
That Peary's Men Tried
to Corrupt Cooks Eski-
mos-Saw No Records

St. Johns, n. F., Sept. 2S.-The Arc
tic vessel JEANNE, with Harry Whit.
ney. the New Haven big game hunter,
on board. arrived here from the Green
land coast by the way of Indian har
Dor, Labrador. Whitney was ques-
toned regarding statements made to
him by Dr. Cook in Greenland. He
said Cook arrived at Annotook in April
of this year and declared that he had
reached the north pole the year be-
fore He pleaded to Whitney. however,
not to tell Peary. who was to be in
formed only that Cook had gone
farther north than Peary's previous
record
Murphy. Peary's boatswain who was
i'm charge of the stores, was absent
from Etah on this day and did not
hear Cooks communications. Murphy
is not able to read or write. He had
written instructions from Peary. which
Whitney. at Peary's request. read over
to him from time to time.
These instructions were very strin-
gent. They directed Murphy to use
Cooks stores first and Peary's after
ward. Murphy was told IN them that
he was to give Cook every help If he
came along in a needy condition. and
furthermore, the instructions implied
that Murphy was to organize an expe-
dition to search for Cook, but. accord
ing to Mr.. Whitney, this part of the
instructions was worded very am
bigously. Murphy treated Cook very
civilIy and Cook suffered no dis
courtesy
Cook had three cases of instruments,
one containing a sextant. another an
artificial horizon and the contents of
the third Whitney could not recall
Cook left no written records with
Whitney that he is aware Of There
may have been some records, how
ever. in the boxes in which Cook
packed his instruments and personal
effects.
When Peary reached Etah he made
no comment and asked no questions,
but the next day Cooks Eskimos came
to Whitney and told him what Peary's
men were trying to get them to say
Peary's men had shown the Eskimos
papers and maps, but the Eskimos de-
clared they did not understand these
papers. 1t might be remarked, Mr..
Whitney said. that ten years ago
Peary did with the explorer Sverdrup
what he had done with Cook-refused
to bring back Sverdrup's letters OF re-
cords.

lishment in the interior department

equal standing with the geological

matter

ADVANCING PRICES
WITHOUT EXPLANATION
A Rapidly Spreading Confidence in the
Stock Market.

New York. Sept. 2S.-The recovery
from last weeks declines, which set in
yesterday, was substantially extended
in today's stock market, and United
States Steel and Atchison were dis
tinguished by new record prices. The
explanation of the marked revival of
speculative confidence was not clear,
and observers were inclined to look for
some concealed technical. condition to
account for the extreme facility with
which prices advanced. There was
nothing authoritive made known as to
the actual intention of those controli-
ing the finances of these companies.
The rise in United States Steel was
stimulated by reports of the placing
of heavy buying orders for steel rails
by the Pennsylvania road. A strong
recovery in Erie stocks was a feature
in the days market. The rise In
United States Steel was accompanied
by a decline in the sinking fund.

PEARYs CAST MADE up

Bar Harbor, Sept. 2s.-This material
which Commander Peary will produce
to support his contention that DR..
Cook did not reach the pole is now in
completed form. AS soon as it has
been passed upon by the Peary Arctic
club it will be made public The state
ment will be only the opening of the
campaign which Peary will wage on
Cook. II is estimated that Peary has
yet other information to prove his
contention, but he thinks it will be
unnecessary to make it public at this
time.

This is the most extraordinary muir
der case ever brought before an Ari-
zona court. NeilI had been forest
ranger and Woods was a member of
the Arizona rangers. Both are well
connected and their regulations have
hitherto been good in the community
in which they lived.
Schwartz, who is described as de-
tective, was a simple minded fellow
who drifted into Williams, whence
nobody knew. About a year ago he
began spying on Neill and Woods in a
matter in which married woman was
said to be concerned and he talked
freely OF his discoveries. Threats
were made against him by the young
men and some time last winter he dis
appeared.
Not long after that it was hinted
that he had been put out of the way,
and several weeks later word was
brought to the office of the sheriff
that Schwartz body had been buried
on a hill near Williams. This infor-
nation was furnished by an irrespon-
sible person, and how he obtained it
has not yet been made public.
An investigation was made and the
body was found. On that night both
Woods and Neill disappeared, and for
the next three weeks they were sought
for throughout the territory. A man
from the northern part of the terri
tory who knew them both well was In
the valley at the time. and one morn
ing while hunting quail near the Gila
river saw two men on horseback and
positiyelv identified them as the sup
posed murderers But they could be
traced no further southward and Inc
hunt was temporarily abandoned.
About the middle of July Flagstaff
was thrown into a state OF excitement
by the appearance of the men, VINO
rode to the county Jail and said that
they had Just learned that they had
been sought for for the murder OF
schwartz. They said that they had
been hunting and had not been out OF
the county There was general IN
clination to believe that they were IN
nocent and on preliminary examation
they were discharged.
But later new evidence, the nature
of which has not been disclosed, came
to the attention of the authorities and
they were rearrested and held. the
u-ircipaI witness against them VII be
w. A. ODDS, a former lieutenant of the
Arizona rangers What his testimony
will be has been carefully concealed
but at the time of the disappearance
, of Schwartz he was stationed IN tha'
part of the territory

THE d. & r. G. ON TRIAL
Its Chief Engineer Examined by Its
Former General Freight Agent.

Salt Lake, Sept. 2s.-The battle of
experts enlivened the Salt Lake, Reno
freight hearing before the interstate
commerce commission. James c.
Gwinn, chief engineer of the Denver &
Rio Grande railroad, was the principal
witness and the cross-examiner was
Stephen II. Babcock.
Babcock was for many years general
freight agent of the Rio Grande and
is now at the head of the railroad
bureau Of the Salt Lake Commercial
club. The testimony related almost
entirely to the physical disadvantages
of the Rio Grande and its heavy >ex-.
penses in operation.
