Coal Land Cases.
CLAWS discusses in the main the Gun
nfugham coal land claims, in Alaska It
has been his effo~t to show that under
the Garfield administration of the In
terror Department those claims had no
chance whatever to go to patent; but
that as soon az Secretary Ballinger
took charge there was a change of
policy, and a mysterious pressure began
TO be excrted to force those same claims
TO patent. The detailed statement of
Claws information and the reasons for
his suspicious has never before been
given TO the public
President Taft, however, saw the same
material, and had X before him Uhen
he wrote his famous letter TO SeCre-
giving that official a complete Vindica-
ton of all the charges. A study Of the
CLAWS statement, alongside the letter
of President Taft, indicates clearly that
some of the matters involved were
given widely different constructions by
the President and the special agent.
Entirely aside from the fact that
Forester PinchOt sent CLAWS to the
President. there is excellent reason for
the belief that the forester's cOnstruc-
tion Of these things has agreed with
that Of CLAWS rather than with that
which the President and the Interior

Progressive muscular atrOphy'' is the
reason given at the Bureau of Immigra-
ton today for the deportation of Mrs.
Kate Steiner, a native Of Ireland, who.
with her late husband lived fifteen years
in Cincinnati. Residents of the Ohio
city have been protesting against this
deportation order on the ground that all
that was the matter with the lady was
a weak ankle.
Mrs. Steiner's husband died in Cincin-
natl several years ago. In May a year
ago she left for Ireland on a visit 10 her
parents. On her return 10 America she
was detained at Ellis Island as a person
likely TO become q public charge.
Dispatches from Cincinnati state that
a delegation is expected to lodge a pro-
test with Secretary Nagel today, but at
the department no word has been re
ceived regarding the matter.

SUPPOSED PAUPER's WEALTH.
l.. r. Anderson Left IN Estate of
Nearly $4,000 in Cash.

OGDEN, Dec. 20.-L. R. Ander-
son, who died in this city October 8
of the present year, supposedly in
the most abject poverty, left an es-
tate valued at $42,103.50, according
to his creditors, who petitioned the
district court today for the appoint
ment of an administrator, Anderson
having left no will. The estate con
sistss entirely of certificates of de-
posts in a bank in Kalamazoo, Mich,
and large outstanding promissory
notes.
Found dying of starvation and
pneumonia in a little one-room shack
on the outskirts Of the city, Ander-
SON was removed to the Ogden ten
eral hospital, where after his death,
it was supposed he would have to be
buried by the county. Subsequent
discoveries of his certificates of
bank deposits, sewed in the lining of
his ragged clothing, revealed his
true fininancial standing.
As far as can be learned Ander-
sons only leagal heir is Mrs. Grace
A. Hammond of Lawton, Mich, who,
strangely enough, is the person
against whom the larger of the
promisory notes are held. Mrs.
Hammond has arrived in Ogden to
look after interests in the estate.
J. w. Pidcock, George w. Larkin
and G. w. Green, the petitioners, ask
that James e. Halverson be appoint
ed administrator.

SALT LAKE, Dec. 20.-It is
learned here by the News representa-
tives on very reliable authority that
Eugene Giles, at present cashier of
the First National Bank of Ely, will
be made cashier of the new Copper
National bank in this city when the
institution opens.
1t is now expected that the splen-
did quarters Of the new bank will be
ready for business about April 1,
the delay in opening being solely
due to waiting on specially ordered
furniture, which the manufacturers
will be unable to complete and ship
before some time in February or
possibly March.
Mr.. Giles, it is said here by those
acquainted with his work in Ely, has
made an exceptional record since TAX
ing charge of the First National and
has earned the promotion which the
new year will bring him. 1t is said
that he has put the First National
in splendid shape.

GRANGER VIA SALT
LAKE TO WELLS.
Report of s. p. Proposed Change
Causes Excitement inRail-
road Circles.

SALT LAKE, Dec. 20.-To put
Salt Lake on the main line of the
Hartman system by building from
some point probably Granger, in
Wyoming, to Salt Lake via Emigra-
ton canyon, then on around the
southern part OF the Great Silt Lake,
more or less parallel with the Vest
ern Pacific, probably to Wells on the
present main line, is said on reliable
authority to be the immediate plans
Of the new power that now control
the Hartman railroads.
1t is understood that traffic is very
congested on the main line from
getting worse, also that the famous
Lucin cutoff has not proven to be an
unqualified success. 1t is said to
give trouble when the lake is high
and cannot well be double tracked.
Also that the position of Salt Lake
City at the end of what is practically
q branch line from Ogden is not
satisfactory to the Hartman people,
seeing that the Denver & Clio
Grande,. the Western Pacific and the
Salt Lake Route all center in Salt
Lake, with the Santa Fe projecting
still another line.
In brief the plan is said to be as
follows:
The Union Pacific will be double
tracked from Omaha to Granger.
Here the line will branch into three,
n running to Pocatello, as at pres
emit, another into Salt Lake direct via
Emigration canyon. The Union Pa
cific will Of course continue to use
the Lucin cut off the same as ever,
and must also run trains over. the
Promontory route to hold the line.
The new line is said to be planned
from Granger down Emigration can
O to Salt Lake, then around the
south end of the lake, to certain con-
nections at Wells, which includes the
projected line from Wells north into
Buhl and on to connect with the
Oregon Short line in the Twin Falls
district, and the building of new
raods in Nevada to give the Harri-
man lines more trackage to the Pa
cifc ocean from the east via Utah,
and to connect Idaho direct from the
ports of California.
1t is stated on good authority that
the Utah Construction company is
today figuring, at the request OF the
hartman people the cost OF running
the projected line from Granger
down Emigrant canyon to Salt Lake.
Also it may be noted, that a few days
age LIE Grand Young r~earranged the
incorporation of his present ten
mile electric line up Emigration can
yon. so that it could be bonded for
$4,000 per mile for new extensions.

We are advised from New York
that no agreement was reached at
the conferences yesterday for the
merging of the Nevada Consolidated
with the Utah Copper company and
none is possible on a basis of less
than two shares OF Nevada for one
of Utah. Some of the leading in
terests are asking / share of Utah
for TX shares of Nevada, says the
Boston Financial News.
In regard to the figures published
yesterday, showing possible earnings
for the year of $2,300,000, on Utah
Copper the assertion is made that
If the deferred charges now ON the
books for the year are deducted the
company will barely show the divi-
dend of So a share earned, or ST.
100000. The ore of the company is
running very low, barely liz per
cent.
As a preliminary step to the abb
sorption of the Nevada Consolidated
and the Boston Consolidated Copper
companies by the Utah Copper Co.,
it is learned that the latter company
will issue a certain amount of new
stocks for cash, which shareholders
will be permitted to subscribe for at
$50 a share.
The money derived from this Of
fering will be used, it Is understood,
for Improvement purposes and the
stock which will be exchanged for
Nevada Consolidated and Boston
Consolidated will be on the basis of
the increased capitalization of Utah,
after the rights have come off.
While there are declared to be
some minor details yet to be adj
justed concerning the G~uggenheim
merger proposition, it is believed that
these will be arranged without diff
ficulty. AS previously announced by
us, Nevada Consolidated will be taken
at not less than two shares of Ne

solidated sold at a parity with Utah,
figuring on the terms which it is
believed will be the basis of the
merger. 1t is not believed that the
merger will be dropped because of
the attitude of the Nevada Con-
%solidated stockholders, as it seems to
be believed that their claim that they
are entitled to one share of Utah for
two shares of Nevada Consolidated
is a fair one and will eventually be
granted.
1t is reported in some quarters
that the Boston Consolidated stock
holders will be forced to strengthen
the company's treasury before the
deal is consummated, and thus the
difference is accounted for If the
amount should be a large as 50 per
share. In other quarters it is felt
that the rights to be given the Utah
stockholders will account for the diff
ference and that ex the rights Utah
will sell on about a basis of parity.
1t is thought also that the rights
granted Utah stockholders may have
been a method adopted for avoiding
the necessity of forcing Boston Con-
solidated stockholders to make a
cash contribution, or in other words
that the stock to be sold the Utah
stockholders, will be deducted from
the amount that would have gone to
the stockholders of the Boston Con-
solidated, and that in this way the
contribution will be made equal to
50 per share.

vada for one of Utah, the exact terms
not yet having been agreed upon.
There is a well-defined belief in
thoroughly well-informeu copper cir
cles that this merger of the Guggen-
helm properties will be followed be-
fore long by a similar consolidation
of the Cole-Ryan properties. Tenta-
tive plans are said to be under con
s~ideration for the merger Of Butte
Coalition, Greene Cananea, North
Butte and the Giroux properties, all
of which IRE now controlled by the
Cole-Ryan interests, into a single
concern.
Juha how soon this proposed deal
will be executed is not known, but
those in a position to have good in
formation on the subject, assert that
there Is little doubt of its eventual
conclusion.
Such a proposition would lead to
the establishment or two big copper
companies in the place of a half a
dozen now existing, and there is
reason to believe that eventually this
will mean an amalgamation in some
form or other of the proposed two
new companies, one including the
Guggenheim properties and the other
the Cole-Ryan concerns with the
Amalgamated Copper Co.
In a general way this would carry
out the copper merger as originally
planned. though perhaps different in
some of its details. Meanwhile, by
consolidating the smaller properties
Of the Guggenheims and the Cole
Ryan party into two concerns, it is
figured that certain economies in
operation can be installed eve prior
to the confirmation of the merger
scheme, which may be deferred for a
considerable time.
There is a great deal of discussion
of the fact that at no time have Ne

JULES LEBARTHE LEAVES MA
SON VALLEY AFTER MAKING
AN EXHAUSTIVE STUDY OF
CONDITIONS OBTAINING.

The examination of Jules Lebarthe,
the smelter expert, into the PROPOSE
ton of erecting a smelter in the vi
cinity of the Mason Valley mine, is
now completed, and he is on his way
to San Francisco. For the past 10
days or more Mr.. Lebarthe has been
in the district in company with Mr..
Gum of the Gunn-ThompsOn firm,
and LEW HUMPHREYS, of the engi-
neering staff of the same company.
They have not only looked into the
resources of the Mason Valley mine,
but have visited other properties in
the district, and in general, sized up
the whole situation. This means
that they have taken into ~considera-
ton the cost of fuel and other ma
terial, and transportation facilities,
all of which will be weighed up and
form the basis of the report which
will shortly be made by them on h
advisability of erecting a smelter In
that part of Nevada. Mr.. Lebarthe
is well known in the smelling world
because of his connection with the
huge smelter at Trail, B. c., the
largest smelling plant in Canada, and
his report is therefore awaited with
a good deal of interest.
The Mason Valley News has the
following to say of the examination
which has just been completed:
The range of inquiries instituted
by j. Lebarthe seems to be in keep

the above district. The property is
said to be in excellent condition and
sufficient ore is said to be developed
above the 800 level to warrant the
erection of a mill of that size. In
addition to handling company ores,
the mill will probably take care OF
some other ore in the district, much
of which is free milling gold ore SIM

vada property.
The mill will be built, it is stated,
at the little town of San Pedro,
which is located at Willow Springs,
about two and a half miles from the
mill, and at a point which is said to
be central to a number of proper
