Up Complaint of Commuter

The state board of railroad com
missioners will consider tomorrow
morning the complaint of L. Ernest
Philips, an attorney, against the re-
Gently instituted practice of the South
ern Pacific company in refusing to
check baggage on the 10 cent transbay
ferry tickets of the service between
this city and Alameda county points.
Fhe railroad company will be repre-.
sented at the hearing by Attorney Dur
brow. Phillips will conduct the pro-
test proceedings.
Until recently the Southern Pacific
carried baggage on ferry tickets, but
now all the 10 cent pasteboards are
stamped with the order that no bag
gage may be checked. Phillips would
have the commission order the COM
pany to return to former conditions.

BRITT IS CARRIED
TO Ills LAST REST
Noted Sporting Mans Funeral
Attended by Throngs From
Every Walk Of Life
Requiem High Mass in Sacred
Heart Church Followed by
Burial in Holy Cross

The remains of William F. Britt
were laid to rest yesterday morning
in Holy Cross cemetery. The funeral
was one of the largest that the city
has known in long time. Men, women
and children from every walk of life
were at the church or the cemetery
to pay their last respects to the dead
sporting man.
The funeral procession was formed at
Britt's residence, 46 Portola street, and
proceeded to Sacred Heart church,
where a requiem high mass was cele-
brated. The large house of worship
was crowded to the doors and stand
ing room was at premium near the
entrance. The assembIage is said to
have been one of the largest that ever
attended service of its kind in this
church.
The eulogy was delivered by Rev.
Father McQuaide, pastor of the church
and life long friend of the dead fight
manager. The words of the priest
brought tears to many eyes as he re-
ferred to the goodness of heart and
the tenderness of Britt's disposition.
Stanley Ketchel, the middle weight
champion, wept during the services.
After the mass in the church the
remains were taken to Holy Cross
cemetery in the funeral car and laid
away. The coffin was covered by the
floral offerings. The pallbearers were:
Stanley KetcheL John Flynn. Thomas
Mulvey, William Silver. j. C. Welsh.
John j. Greely and Thomas Hea,ey.
Among the intimate friends who ac-
companied the remains to their last
resting place were:

I1pon this basis Wheeler figured that
q reduction of so per cent in the Sac
ramento- Reno rate would place it on a
par with rates where conditions are
the same. Even with such a reduction,
he pointed out, it would still be higher
than the Los Angeles Fresno basis,
against which the Los Angeles shippers
have protested as unreasonably high.
On cross. examination Attorney Dur
brow for the Southern Pacific tried to
commit Wheeler TO the statement that
the request for lower rates was merely
an attempt on the part of the jobbers to
cut into other territory. Wheeler re-
piled that the complaint had been filed
on behalf Of the people at large.

stin Durbrow persisted until Wheeler
responded:
-@This is not a jobbers' fight. Moth

Prompted by @. ". Luce, Durbrow
made repeated attempts TO drive the
witness into corner, but from each
sally the attorney emerged with
greater discomfort.
Abruptly turning to the "a cent tar
if Of 1872, Durbrow called for Wheel
er's authority for the rate. 1t appeared
that Wheeler had been given confiden-
TALLY copy Of the old rate schedule.
Durbrow's fnsistence and Wheeler's re-
fusal to submit the rate book soon
made it plain that what the railroad
wanted particularly was the signature
on the copy. II appears to be a suspi-
cion OF leak in the upper Office.
In the midst OF the examination Dur

statement that in some instances lower

TOMBSTONE CONS. IS SHIPPING REGULARLY
Station for New Pump is Being
 Cut on the Eight Hundred Level

TOMBSTONE. July 26.-Tombstone Consolidated Mines Company is talk ing out some very high grade ore. The mill is running steadily and shipments Of ore to the smelters at Fl Paso are regularly being made. The work of cutting out a station on the 500 lev el of the big shaft. for the installation Of pumps, was commenced this week Those who are in a position to know, although the information is not given out from headquarters, state that re- cent developments have uncovered one of the largest and richest ore bodies ever encountered in the district. With the big pumps that he company are preparing to install in operation. it is probable that there will be an active prosecution of work in the big mines on the hill
 The Hershell mine has quite a force at work, and the property is looking well. The regular shipments of ore go out regularly, the quality be- ing fully up to the standard hereto fore produced by this mine, which nas been one of the best mining properties in this district Under the able ma a agemeHt of Douglas Gray, the proper ty has contributed very largely to the wealth of Tombstone. and will con tinue the good work for many years to come.
 Work on other claims of the district is being carried on vigorously and en- couraging reports are received from the properties on which development work is being done

REPORT OF SALE ID
 GUGGENHE|MS DENIED

KELVIN, July 26.-Philip Wise man, former general manager of the Ray company is in Kelvin for cou- pie of days. Mir Wiseman was the heaviest individual stockholder in the company. but has recently disposed of the larger portion of his holdings. II has been rumored that the Guggen- helms had bought the controlling in- terest in the Ray company and, if the statement was true, would close down the mines, but MT. Wiseman says he thinks the report is a false one. as he didn't sell his stock to that com pany and don't think anyone else did. The supposition now is that Charles NJ. McNeill and associates of Denver now have the controlling interest in the mines and intend to carry on the development work the same as it been in the past A special stockholders meeting will be held some time this month in Portland. Me, to increase the capital stock from S00,000 to l. 00G 900 shares. The company has 1856, 900 in the treasury and the funds from the sale of the increased capital stock will be used to build the new concentrator and smelter and equip the new Kelvin-Ray railroad which they are now constructing. The mill and railroad will cost the com pany about s3,000,e00, and they have expended at least s2,0o0.000 in past developments. They have at least 50 ,000,00 pounds of ore in sight that will run 2.41 per cent copper.

MINE MAGNATES
 VISIT CAMP
Arrival of Largest Shareholder in Bisbee Extension Creates
 Local Speculation
PROPERTY IS THOROUGHLY
 EXAMINED BY VISITORS

Local mining folk are intensely in terested in the arrival here of the heaviest and most active stockholders in the Bisbee Extensicn Mining com pany. General Manager Cute, Vice President Poss and Yockey arrived in Bisbee yesterday for the purpose Of thoroughly examining tne property and extent, nature and efficacy of the development done to date upon he property.
 The Bisbee Extension. because of its unique position in the Warren dis trict, holds more of interest to the mining publia than any of the modern prospects in this region. Lying east of the great mass of schist that divided the surface of tke lime beds that have on their western half contained the famous copper ore bodies of Bisbee'3 neighborhood, the actual development of ore within the property above nam ed would make practically certain the situation of belt that would con tain the possibility of 5oubling the great ore zones capacity as produe- CT of red metal.
 MT. Yockey has refrsined from ac- cepting a position as an official on the company's records, but it is ce.- tain that he is one of its heaviest, if not the largest, of its stockholders. Yockey also is the gentleman who financed the Detroit Tigers and placed them so near the pinnacle Of the base ball cosmos.

NEWHOUsE SHELTERS
 ARE RECOGNIZED

NEW YORK, July 26.-Although the reorganization committee of New house Mines & Shelters has declared operative it's plan for readjusting the company's affairs, there can be TO foreclosure of the existing mortgage until August 1, after which time the assets of the present corporation will be turned over to the new company which has yet to be incorporated
 Under the terms of the mortgage there can be no foreclosure until the expiration of 90 days following a de fault in the sinking fund On May there was due to be paid into this fund s100, 900, but a default was entered at that time which would extend the foreclosure period until the first of August
 The company has not resumed pro duction of copper and has now been out of the productive ranks for some months. Development work has been carried on, however, and the remodel ing of the company's mill has yet to be completed.
 None of the funds acquired from stockholders under the terms of the reorganization plan has been made available for carrying on current work and not until after the first of next month can any such transfer take place,

PROFIT TAKING IS IN ORDER Activity of Markets Are Slight b Checked-Copper Metal

CRY Frank J. GTafD

The activity that has been display ed in the markets during the las; week was checked somewhat today, and at times profit-taking was in evi- dence. No apparent reason has been given, although one must naturally eN. pect that there must be a slight re. action at all times. The opening of the Bosom market reported copper metal off one shilling in London, and later on during the day further de, cline of one shilling was reported. which all had it's effect on the mar. ket. Amalgamated, North Butte, Butte Coalition Copper Range and Old Dominion all showed a fractional decline at the close. Sup. & Pitts. and Greene Can. were also inclined to be weak.

In the New York list, the entire market is de, pending upon the decision to be given on Steel common. which is to be an. nounced some time tomorrow. If Steel should go on per cent. basis it is very likely that the stock win ad- vance, but should it still remain at 2 per cent there will very likely be a decline, unless the company call m their preferred stock. The market as a whole is in excellent condition. and nothing in sight to warrant any serious decline at this time.

 me first item to consider when one strikes the mining field for the purpose or prospecting is the reputa- uon of the district The prospector, not being financed, expects to sell, and what would bring . comfortable fortune in one district would consti- ute a white elephant in another. though the real merits and facilities in the district wearing the black eye might be superior 10 those existing in the other It Is in this light that the Tigre district is recommended to the prospector.
 Stronger confidence is being evinced in mining circles in regard 10 the Chir. r.cahuas, and moneyed men and investors are going into Paradise and the surrounding localities in greater numbers than has been known for years before.
 MT. Brown, who has been associated with Charley Hanson for some time in the mining business. returned yes terday, leaving MT. Hanson at the Lucky Tiger.

Brown states that there is remarkable activity in the mining field in the Tigre district and to the east of that range.
