HUMBOLDT PLANT
 ORGANIZATION PROCEEDS
rrom Wednesdays Daily)

II was learned yesterday from re. liable source that good progress is be. ing made in the organization of the Al. lied interests of New York the repre. sentatives of which recently purchased the holdings of the Arizona Smelling Company and the Consolidated Arizo. no Smelling Company, into new com. pany. The promoters expect to have the financing of the new company com. pleted soon when work will be start ed repairing and making the necessary changes in the Humboldt smelters pre- paratory to resuming operations.
 The plan of organization contem. plates the recognition of the stock. holders of the old companies by the payment of assessments levied on their holdings. This will enable the new management to take care of the unsecured claims against the bank. rupts in a equitable way later. It is expected that the secured claims against the old companies will be paid at an early date.
 It is anticipated that when the new company resumes operations it will have si,0O0,000 in It's treasury to be applied to the purcnase of ores and the payment of running expenses. Some of the largest financial interests in New York are associated in the new organization and it is given out that the plant will be operated on strict business basis, the intention being to equip it from time to time with ma. chinery best adapted 10 economic operation and reduction of the ores pc culiar to the territory tributary to it.
 The full purchase price of $2o0,Ooo was paid when the title passed to Hooley and Ackenbeck of New York Decemebr 2l. The formal transfer of all the properties will be made to the new company as soon as all details of its organization are arranged.

WILL INVESTIGATE
 GIANT POWDER ExPLOsIoN
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

It was reported here yesterday that the powder which exploded and wreck ed the plant of the Black Mountain Copper Company in the Mineral Point district Sunday morning at II o'clock was manufactured more than a year ago. It Is alleged that the sticks that comprised the forty pound box that exploded were marked "October l9O7'' indicating that the explosive was made at that time.
 An investigation Is being made and it is rumored that the firm which sold the powder will be requested to re- place the wrecked building and dam aged machinery.
 The boiler is dented badly in one end. The boiler head was blown out and several of the hues damaged. The boiler fixtures and connections were destroyed. The air compressor and hoist were slightly damaged. Both can be repaired at n nominal cost.
 The foreman's escape from death or serious injury was almost miracu' lous. He walked out of the engine room few moments before and was standing near the shaft when the ex' plosion happened. He was struck in the back by parts of the flying wreck age and thrown against one of the up rights of the gallows frame, waich prevented him from falling in tho shaft. He recovered from the shock shortly afterwards and was found ly' ing on the ground covered by splinter ed timben from the wrecked building His injuries are slight.

INSIST SYLvAN|TE |s BONAF|DE
 BONANZA Youngest Mining Camp Does Not Lack
 Boosters

BlSbEE, Jan. l.-City Attorney Fred Sutter brings cheerful confrma. ton of the unvarying reports of syl ,anite's steady progress. The Woods. Gold Hill, Holcomb and Wake Up Charley are shipping ore and the value of the properties are increasing in val. ue as the development is carried for. ward. The purchase by Carlton of ,he Nehart property is characterized ly the same odd and interesting fea. 'ure that has been q concomitant of inc development of many another gold mine. Careful examination showed that the material being thrown over the dump was rich ore. Samples of the dumps average sent to Woods of Denver gave returns of about $iO0 per ton. There have been many similar cases in Colorado. The most notable was that of the Camp Bird mine one of the best-if not the best-of the Centennial States gold producers. Toe present owner of the property dis covered that rich ore was being dump ed on the waste, and secured a lease on the dump. He made enough money from his lease to purchase the mine.
 That the present case is similar is certain, for Wood is one of the best chemists and assayers living. Mir. Carl. ton, who purchased the Gold Hill, is a banker of Colorado Springs, and not of Cripple Creek, as enormously stat. ed in Sylvanite dispatch of recent date. In returning assays for some of the samples sent from Carleton's prop. erty Woods states that Sylvanite ore required about forty times as much lead in assaying as other ores. This may account for the apparent inabil- ity of many assayers in this region to get returns from Sylvanite ore any. thing like those given by Burlingame and other well known sssayers of Col. orado.
 The second payment, $500 in amount, has been made on the Hol comb. making s2i00 paid on the group 10 date. The purchase price is sis,O00. 1t is now known as the Sylvanitc Con. solidatcd Mining Company and is em- ploying nine men.
 Monday erosscut being driven on tne Wake Up Charley struck n vein of rich ore, that looks good and pans beautifully.
 The Nedderland property, the Hol. comb and Gold Hills mines, has shaft now B feet from which assays run. ming as high as s6io have been re- ceived. This shaft contains sylvanite ore that became spattered with gold bubbles when subjected to the heat of forge. Newcomb, president of n Cripple Creek bank, George C. Fry, manager of the Trust sampling works of Cripple Creek, and Hamlin, a prom. inent lawyer of the Rocky Mountain state, are the present owners of the property.
 Mir. Sutter will not take active man agement of the Sylvanite properties in which he is interested, at least until after the holidays.

It was also held that ownership O.
the commodity applied only to tn;
time of transportation. If before
transporting it the railroad compan!
has in good faith parted with a com
modify it may carry it. The principa
point of the decision was in relation
to railroads holding the stock OF
subordinate companies and on thai
important point the finding was favor
able to the roads.
Dissents on Stock Feature.
Justice Harlan dissented on the
stock feature, but otherwise the de.
cis1On was unanimous.
Intense interest was manifested by
the interstate commerce commission
In the decision. The decision did not
come as a surprise, because it had
been anticipated on the basis of the
debate in congress that the court
would hold that ownership of the
stock or bonds Of coal companies did
not constitute violation of the act.
No member of the interstate com.
merce commission in advance of the
reading of the opinion Of the court
would express an opinion as to it's
effect. The concrete situation is that
Only two of the anthracite roads own,
operate and market their own coal.
1t is regarded that under the decision
of the court the law applies to these
roadside Lehigh Valley and the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western.
The effect of the decision, it is be.
lieved, will be to induce those lines to
organize separate coal companies and
conduct their operations through
them, because the mere holding of
stock in such coal companies is held
by the court to be not violation of
the law.

STOCKS AT FIRST DECLINE
Decision Causes Confusion on New

0SCiS'on SduSeS CONFUSION on new
York Exchange.
New York, May 4.-Philadelphia
and Reading stock slumped three
points in the New York stock market
on the announcement of the COM
modities decision and the rest of the
market weakened moderately. Be-
fore 1 o'clock Reading recovered it's
loss and the whole market became in
tensely dull. Delaware and Hudson
lost IN and Pennsylvania 1 on the
break, but both recovered the losses.
Confusion as to the effect of the
supreme court decision caused an ex-
IRENE of uncertainty on the stock ex-
change and brokers bought and sold
stocks for few minutes entirely on
reports of the decision that reached
the floor. The execution of orders
contingent upon the courts decision
was necessarily accomplished with
much confusion and frequently bro
kers had to rebuy what they had al
ready sold when the reports became
conflicting. Activity on the stock ex-
change floor conferred almost COM
p1etely in Reading and thousands of
shares of that stock were bought and
sold.

According to present plans the de-
Tense will call Mrs. Virginia Hams,

last witness. District Attorney De.
Witt began his cross-examination of
Major Hams by asking him about the
first interview he had with the de-
PENDANT after the latter's return from
the Philippine islands. The district
attorney went into this conversation
again with the view of showing that
each act of the defendant at that time
was not necessarily irrational.
did your brother wear eyeglasses
when you met him after his return
from the Philippines?" asked Mr.. De-
Witt
"He wore them off and on" replied
the witness.
"Do you know when he stopped
wearing glasses?"
II don't know that he has stopped
wearing them," the major replied.
It is contended by the prosecution
that Captain Hams stopped wearing
the glasses since the shooting and be.
cause of his nearsightedness this
would account in manner for the
peculiar stare in the defendants eyes
which had been referred to repeatedly
