The most important point brought
out in the above comparison Is that the
Nevada Consolidated on a much small
er production l. showing much larger
pronts and that the income yield at
present prices Is 2 per ent more than
Is shown by Utah Copper.
IL is evident, too, that the Nevada
Consoiidated's cost OF production must
be at least two cents below the Utah
Copper figure.
At the present time the production OF
the two companies is running about
even and the next statement VIII prob
ably make the position q. the Nevada
Consolidated much stronger. II is re-
ported that the company has recently
been earning al the rate Of $4,000, 900 net
annually
Il will be noted that the above figures
include the proposed increase In the
capital stock OF the Nevada CONSOLE
dated amounting TO 100000 shares,
which Is 10 be issued to take owe
The Cumberland Ely as this new stock
viii receive the initial dividend. The
Nevada Consolidated has no debts and
by the first Of the year Il is figured
that The convertible bonds will be all
turned In, leaving nothing but stock
outstanding.
Another important point to consider
Is that this company carries its own
copper. o being obliged to obtain ad-
Nance OF II.
As TO the future possibilities It is safe
TO predict that the Nevada Consolidated
viii increase It's dividend rate next
year., the expectation being that II win
be raised to 80 cents a quarter during
1910. This Is assured by the rapid
progress now being made at the props
erty and the steady increase shown
in production together with the grad
ual decrease in costs.

TEMBLORS FELT
IN MIDDLE WEST
EARTHQUAKES ARE RECORDED
OVER WIDE AREA
ST. LOUIS CENTRAL POINT OF
DISTURBANCE
Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Ohio
Among States Visited by Seismic
Shocks - Renewal Not
Anticipated

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 27.-A slight earth
quake, which was felt through south
eastern Missouri and in southern and
central Illinois and Indiana, occurred
today.
In st. Louis the tremor came at 3:47
a. m. So far as has been learned little
or no damage has resulted
The general direction of the shock
was west to east, and 1t was felt more
clearly in thinly settled districts. vii
lagos west of st. Louis reported the
destruction of few chimneys, and in
the west end of this city, the residence
district, many sleepers were awakened.
The quake was scarcely in evidence
in the downtown districts, only few
of the many guests in the larger hotels
being disturbed.
Reports of the phenomenon were re-
ceived on the Mobile & Ohio as far
south as Cairo, Ill. In Mattoon and
other towns in central Illinois there
were shocks at virtually the same time.
A settling of the earth's crust, with
the seat of the disturbance many miles
distant, is the generally accepted cause
of the earthquake.
The possibilities of a renewal of the
shocks are negatived by local scientists.

ADMITS A LACK
OF COMPETITION
SOUTHERN PACIFIC OFFICIAL
TELLS ABOUT WATER LINES
SAYS RAILROAD WORKS IN HAIR
MONY WITH STEAM SHIPS
Other Employees Of Big System Are
Witnesses at Interstate Conn.,
merce Commission
Hearing
~ Assoclated Press.l

SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 27.-Judge
H. f. Bartine, chairman of the Ne
vada state railroad commission, delved
deeply into the question of Water-rate
competition at the freight rate hearing
before Interstate Commerce Commis-
sioner E. E. Clark today.
The railroads have taken the posi-
ton that freight can be carried so much
cheaper by steamer to the Pacific coast
that the transcontinental railroad rate
to coast points must be much lower
than the rate to Salt Lake City and
Reno, New, if the later rate Is to be
remuneratiVe.
G. W. Luce, general freight agent
of the Southern Pacific, the first wit
ness called, said the entire water route
tonnage originating at the Atlantic
seaboard TO California points amounted
to 226,140 tons, while the railroad de-
livery amounted to 205,231 tons.
Judge Bartine tried to bring out that
96 per cent of the westbound traffic
through the Ogden gateway goes to
the coast and that consequently, the
railroads have but per cent inland
business to offset the water competi-
tion. Mr. Luce thought that only about
so per cent of the business went
through to the terminal points.
L. J. Spence, general freight agent of
the steamship lines of the Southern
Pacific company, gave some figures on
the tonnage carried by way of the
Straits of Magellan, the Isthmus of
Panama and Tehuantepec, and enum-
Grated among the advantages of the
steamship agents the absence of in
terstate commerce restrictions. Mr.
Spence admitted there was no actual
competition between the Southern Pa
Cltlc and Its own steamship lines.

JAPANESE DENY THEY
POACHED FOR SEALS
ORIENTALS CAPTURED BY rus
SLAMS ILL TREATED
Claim They Were Lost In Fog and
Drifted Toward the Rookeries,
When Seized by Romanoff
Agents

VICTORIA, B. c., Sept. 27.-Cap-
tured by the Russian cruiser Shilka
in an attempt to make a sealing raid
on the Ski island seal rookeries, three
Japanese seal hunters of the crew of
the Japanese sealing schooner Hosei
Maru have returned to Japan after
being released, according to informa-
ton brought by the steamer Empress
of China, which arrived last night.
They report that soon after their
capture the sound of gunfire was
heard and the Russians informed them
they had captured the Japanese seal
ing schooner Toki Wa Maru off the
rookeries.
The arrested seal poachers were
thrown into an out-building on Cop
per island, containing a number of
cows and pigs, and were imprisoned
there for thirteen days before being
taken to Vladivostok, where, after
their boat, rifles and other property
had been confscated, they were re-
leased and returned to Japan.
The returned poachers claimed they
were lost in dense fog and drifted close
to the seal islands
