 IN A NEVADA MINE

 ed in Time.

Goldfield, New, Sept. 25.-Three miners were buried in the Hampton slope of the Consolidated company's mine here this morning by the falling of 160 feet of earth beneath the Com bination mill. A large rescuing party is working on a four-hour shift basis and air is being pumped into the slope, bu. it is feared the miners will not be reached in time. The entombed min CTS are Evan Reese. of Boise, Idaho, w, J. Bertsch and M. c. Watt.
 There is twenty-six feet of rock to be. cleared away before the pocket where the men are buried can be opened. The mill itself is threatened by the cave-in, two cyanide tanks gO- ing down in the crash. It will not be used again. It is said that this will take s60,000 from the profits month

IA WITNESS FUR COOK Harry Whitney -Testifies by Wireless Telegraph ITS HEARSAY TESTIMONY He Is Bringing the Docu-

 He Told Him of His Dis covery
ITS HEARSAY TESTIMONY

St John., Sept. 25.-According to dispatches Harry Whitney. who is now at Indian Harbor. says Cook told him at Etah last April that he had reach- ed the pole but pledged him to se- crecy Cook also left with him cer- tain documents and instruments which he is bringing to the United States
 Whitney declined to give further de- tails. The reason that Cook left Etah was that he thought Peary might re- turn soon and he resented Peary' s putting men in his house. He was also hurrying to reach civilization to get the news home first.

The two little ships. once so weighty with achievement before a marveling world passed the warships assembled to do them honor. with a thousand merch- ant ship and pleasure craft trailing behind, fifteen miles long, saluted by national and international flags of peace.
 They were officially received by the city and the Hudson-Fulton com mission. with other visiting notables. and tonight they repeated the course over a river which was white as day with the glare of hundreds of search lights from shore and aflOat before they anchored Their progress was marred by one accident. a slight colli- sion early in the morning, by which the Clermont lost a little paint and the Half Moon an anchor chain
 By noon the city held the greatest crowd ever assembled anywhere for any purpose. Probably 5,00O.OOO per sons witnessed the great naval parade. Impressive as were the ships of war. squirting fire and smoke from their sides in salute, sufficient as was the parade that swept about them in a great crescent. the crowd was more majestic yet. It drew a greater share of comment from the 75O, 900 who were estimated to have witnessed it from excursion steamers, motor boats. tug boats sailing craft and even canoes.

FRENCH WAR BALLOON
 EXPLODED IN M|DA|s
Its Four Occupants Were Killed by
 400 Fall.

Moulins. France, Sept. 25.-The French dirigible military balloon. Re publique, exploded in the air five miles from here today and was wrecked Four men on board were killed. The dead were: Captain Marchal, Lieutenant Chaure, Sub Lieutenants Vincenot and Reux. The Republique left LaPalisse. where she had been engaged in recent military maneuvers, at o'clock this morning in charge of Captain Marchal She passed over Moulins at a quarter be- fore o'clock at an altitude of 400 feet, going at a high rate of speed. and apparently under perfect con- trol. The officers in the car waved their hands in response to the en- -thusiastic cheers of the people below. Nothing presaged the terrible catas- trophe which occurred a few minutes later.
 Without warning the airship ex- ploded with a loud report. At the time she was at an altitude of more than 300 feet. The wrecked envelope and car fell to the ground immedi- ately and the four men were crushed to death.
 When uncovered all were dead ex- cept Chaure. but he lived only a few minutes after being removed The car was literally crushed and amid the mass of tangled steel and wire every man except Chaure could be seen at his post. An examination of the airship disclosed the cause of the accident. An axle. of the right propeller had broken and the pro- peller passed through the envelope. falling in a field about 150 yards away.

trol of water power in the public in- terests. I believe in equality of oppor-

 With the exception of the meeting at the station yesterday. when neither attempted to speak to the other, Bal finger and Pinchot were not thrown into contact during their stay at Salt Lake. Pinchot attended several func-
 tions along with the party escorting the president today, but Ballinger, pleading sore throat, remained in doors most of the time. His private secretary met him here and he d1 voted much of his time to disposing of business matters.
 Ballinger had no comment tonight on the latest phase of the discussion. The friends of both Ballinger and Pinchot declare that the presidents statement is such that both of them can consistently remain in the govern ment service and work toward the same ends. Pinchot has declared him. SNiA III lhNOA Ol et StiohS Nphsti NotfVh policy. Ballinger declared himself in favor of keeping within the law. MT Taft finally declared himself as being in favor of strong progressive policy, but keeping within the law, with such amendment to the law as may be nec- essary to carry out Roosevelt's ideas
 In an address here this afternoon MT. Taft has this further to say re- garding conservation: We are going to move on congress and ask congress to help us out. Of course, congress may have a different view and. per- haps. those of us that are most en- clear idea what will have to be done, will have to modify our views in some way and arrange a compromise.
 But life is a compromise, progress is compromise. popular government is a compromise among ninety millions of people"
 The conservation of resources is the issue with which the president will be confronted during the next two or three weeks of his travel Senator Borah of Idaho saw him with regard to the proposition that the government issue bonds to carry on the cnoserva- ton work more rapidly than is now possible. MT. Borah will accompany the president through Idaho and will take the matter up again.
 The president had a buster time than he expected on this second day of his visit. With Governor Spry. Smoot and others of the local he breakfasted at the Com mercial club, made an excursion to Saltair and saw the Great Salt Lake for the first time He attended an organ recital at the Mormon taber- nacle. had luncheon and spent tine early afternoon at the country club, held a public reception and spoke at Library park at a meeting presided over by the mayor of the city. He held a reception tonight at the Uni-i club for Yale graduates and the ohio residents of Salt Lake City and ended the day at a banquet in his honor at the Alta City club.
 The conflict of opinion between the Mormon and anti Mormon elements of Salt Lake City has been stirred by the presidents visit. but Mir Taft has taken occasion to say in his speeches that he believes his welcome has come from all the people and is an express sion of their loyalty to the government and to the man who temporarily is at the head of the government

charged by the fruit commission men,
this would show a saving to the ex-
change growers of $2,571, 1858.
All citrus growers in California have
been largely benefited by the success
full operation Of the exchange. The
commission men, the independent buy
ers and spectators can no longer
make a football OF the non-member
of the exchange, as he is able to form
a very close guess as to the returns
on the various kinds of fruit which
will probably be made to the members
of the exchange, and unless he can re-
ceive a price approximately near TINS
amount he is likely to become a mem
Der of the exchange the following
year.
The Fruit Growers Supply company
was organized in 1907 for the purpose
of purchasing all packing material
used by the exchange growers. Through
1t favorable long contracts have been
made at fair prices, so that the charg-
ing of exorbitant prices by the manu-
facturer and seller has been made very
difficult, if not impossible, and great
savings effected in the aggregate, not
only to all exchange members, but 70
all other citrus fruit growers, as the
manufacturers realize that unless they
sell to the latter at about the same
price the exchange members buy, the
non-members would join the exchange.
The Supply company has purchased
for this years use for the exchange
some 5000 600 boxes, equivalent to 49,
O00, 900 feet, board measure, which is
equal to 1900 carloads of prepared lum-
ber or shook, and has also bought l2O
carloads of tissue orange and lemon
wraps and twenty carloads of nails
averaging 500 kegs to the car, with
$4,000 nails to the keg, at price con-
siderably below that ordinarily palc.
1t is the policy of the California
Fruit Growers Exchange to put the
fruit of it's members on the market
the year around, giving careful con-
sideration to climatic conditions and
probable monthly needs, at all times
selling freely at auction at an t. o. b.
price, or at the prevailing market price
at the time delivered, as the buyer
and the grower may prefer, and TO
do all in it's power to extend its district
and to force sales through its adVer-
tising and it's employees to every pos
sible market, realizing that glutted
and uneven markets mean in the long
run higher prices to the consumer but
smaller returns to the grower With
an even market both the wholesaler
and the retailer are willing to sell on
a very small margin, but they Will not
handle the fruit on an irregular mar
ket as to price without a much higher
leeway for profit.

IA ifornia, there are about 10000
acres of orange and lemon trees in

of 50 cents per box. equaling $13775,00O,
making the net amount received in

The yearly cash returns per acre
vary similarly to the yield and the
variety of the fruit grown, from next
to nothing to from $1,000 to $11OO per
acre.
There are probably from ten to
twelve thousand orchardists engaged

In the construction of the Los Ange-
les aqueduct one very essential detail
is the proper subsisting of the army or
men involved in a work of this magni-
tude. In the summer of 1908 the aque-
duct board decided to award this
branch of the enterprise to a con-
tractor, and Mr.. d. ]. Desmond was
the successful bidder.
Joe" Desmond's Record
Mr.. Desmonds wonderful record in
handling the refugees after the san
Francisco disaster had established his
reputation as the foremost subsistence
contractor in the west. He assumed
the contract on the first of August,
1908. at which time there were about
600 men scattered over 250 miles north
of Los Angeles. The work developed
rapidly and the forces increased until
at the present writing the Desmond
mess houses are handling from 300 to
1000 people. A contract of this character
involves many more difficulties than
would at first appear. The matter OF
keeping proper help in the camps has
been quite a problem. in the isolated
desert camps, especially in the heat of
the summer the cook house crews rap
idly weary and wish a change, some
times to the detriment of the standard
of subsistence. This, coupled with the
natural tendency to criticize the board-
ing house. has been the foundation for
the complaints appearing from time
to time in the press. However every
possible effort has been made to keep
the messes to the highest standard,
and to meet the approval of the con-
stant inspection of the aqueduct Of
f1cials, all men of the widest experience
in this class of work.
Camp Equipment
The work developed so rapidly that
large warehouses had to be built and
stocked at central points, so that there
would be no danger of a shortage of
supplies; a teaming outfit of over one
hundred head of stock was required
to perfect transportation facilities; in
many instances it was considered ul-
timate economy to erect permanent
board buildings rather than constantly
replace tents This. in addition to the
