WEST END.


The big stope on the 150-foot level
of the West End continues to furnish
good quantity of shipping ore from
the ledge which averages from four
to seven feet in width.
The west drift on the 200 foot
level has advanced eleven feet dur
ing the week and is now in dis
lance of about 400 feet west of the
shaft. The face of the drift is still
in ore and the ledge shows an in
crease in values. This ledge fur
nishes part of the ore for shipping.
On the lower level the west drift
has advanced twelve feet during the
week and is now out $50 feet from
the shaft The face is all in quartz
with small quantities of pay ore.
The east drift has advanced twenty
feet and is now out 391 feet from

JIM BUTLER.

The ore shipments from the Jim
Butler for the week averaged about
$50 tons, which were sent to the
Belmont mill at Millers.
In the Stone Cabin shaft consider
able development work is being done
On the 100 level the east drift on
the north vein has advanced four
teen feet during the week and is now
out fifty-six feet. The vein is about
three feet wide and carries good
milling values. This drift has been
driven to the boundary line in order
to open up the vein for subsequent
development work and two slopes
have been started. The stope on the
north vein from the west side of the
shaft has nearly reached the surface.
On the east side of the shaft they
have about $50 feet to go before they
reach the surface and on the south
vein they have practically 100 feet to
go before the surface connections are
made. This vein is about five feet
wide and the ore is of good milling
grade. Stopping is being done on the
incline vein west of the shaft and
about two feet of good milling ore is
exposed This vein, which is flatter
than the other veins on the property
| joins the north vein at this level.
On the 200 level the raise on the
west side of the south vein is UP
forty-six feet and has advanced six
feet. The top of the raise is in about
three feet of a low grade ore. This
raise will be continued until body
of ore that is known to exist between
the two levels is tapped, and it will

BELMONT.

During the past week 1877 feet of
development work has been done in
the Belmont. On the Nevada vein
on the 500 level there has been done
the usual amount of stopping on an
eight-inch streak of high grade,
which is being followed.
On the 800 level the west drift on
the Nevada vein is out 292 feet and
has advanced thirteen feet during
the week. The face of the drift
shows about two and one-half feet of
high grade milling ore. This ledge
has widened one and one-half feet
since the last report with no change
in the values. The slopes on this
vein along the west drift are produc-
ing their usual amount of ore. In
the west drift the slopes have reach
ed height of about forty feet for a
distance of $50 feet and show about
three feet of a fair grade milling
ore.
The west drift on the south vein
on the 1000 level has advanced
nineteen feet and is now out dis
lance of seventy-one feet where a
fault has cut off the vein. The drift
ing will be continued through the
fault and it is expected that the vein
will be again encountered on the
other side of the fault. This same
fault was found on the 900 level
some time ago and the vein was pick
ed up after traversing the fault. The
west drift on the Occidental vein is
out forty-five feet and has advanced
twenty-one feet The face shows
about two and one-half feet of low
grade milling ore. In the east cross
cut from CA vein an advance OF
forty feet has been made and the
drift is now out 3S1 feet The for
nation shows no change.
In raise No from the 1909, the
west stope, which was started during
the week on the hanging wall of the
Mizpah fault, is now up twelve feet
and shows punches of quartz mixed
with the porphyry which carry small
values.
The Wine on the 1856 from the
1909 west drift, is now down about
1876 feet and the bottom shows
stringers of quartz which carry small
values. In east drift No. 2 from the
1875 foot level in this winze has ad.
vanced nine feet and is out fifty feet
and the face shows two and one-hali
feet of high grade milling ore. Tn
the slopes along the back of this
drift the vein has been opened up fol

Stopping on the north vein in the east
end west of the shaft is still being
done. The vein at this point is four
feet wide and carries good values.
The only work done on the south
vein is being done in the raise.
The slopes east of the shaft on
the intermediate between the 200
and 800 levels, are working in a
good body of good milling quartz.

teen inches.
Developing and prospecting work
is being carried on south of the 535
foot level 1t is thought that the
veins that exist on the 435 level will
be encountered here.
Drifting is being continued on the
635 level under the fault that came
in on the 535 level and it is expected
that the lodges will be picked up
within the next 100 feet.

east and west of the shaft on this
level are looking the same as usual
and are producing the usual amount
of high grade shipping ore. The
shipments for the week totaled $50
tons.

Washington, july 22.-President
Taft. in the opinion of the writer, will
sign the PayneAldrich bill, ana it will
not conform to the expectations yC.cea
by the president in the stat2ment re-
Gently issued from the White house.
At this late day-after the members
of congress have voted-1the president

1t is probable that the president will
get these concessions. with the pcs
sible exception of free iron ore.
If raw products go on the free list,
and the tariff ON manufactured articles
is not reduced correspondents the
tariff bill will be more discriminatory
against the people and in favor o. tie
tariff baronS than when it went t. con
ference. If the presidents recommo1
dations relative to free raw materi 5
are carried out. the revision of ths
tariff will have amounted to revision

tunity to swell their already fabulous
profits as result of being abl. t.

BELIEVED TAFT WILL SIGN THE

to exact higher prices for the manu-
factured product
In asking for free raw materials the
president is responding to the demand
of the New England manufacturers
Their prayer is for revision downward
on raw materials. The sentiment of
the country is for revision downward
On both raw materials and the manu-
factured product.
Conditional Concessions.
AS Senator Aldrfch's clients will not
be hostile to free hides, free coal and
free oil, these concessions will prob
ably be allowed by the president.
The republican bosses no double be-
liave free raw materials will tend to
lend a revision downward color to the
tariff bill, and detract attention from
the schedules that will materially adj
vance the cost of living.
The expectations of the president
that will not be fulfilled is the hope
that the bill will be revised as prom
ised in the republican platform. on
the basis of equalization of cost oi
production at home and abroad, plus
"A reasonable profit.
If the bill is to conform TO that prin
ciple, it will have to be revised from
, the first schedule to the last. The
trainers of the tariff bill under dis

cussion did not at any time pay any
attention to the principle of revision
laid down in the platform.
The suppression of the statistics of
the German government as to labor
cost in that country is an illustration
of the methods resorted to by Senator
Aldrich to prevent the people from
knowing the difference in the cost of
production at home and abroad
That wages are higher in the United
States than Europe is of course adj
mitted. When the downward revision
lists wanted to know was the extent Of
the difference. They asked for facts,
knowing that the margin between the
wages paid to American workingmen
and foreign working men was not
nearly so great as pretended by the
standpatters. For instance the highly
protected cotton mills, of New England
which make profits as high as G7 per
cent, pay their average workman 81
| cents day. This is according to gov
ernment statistics
The labor cost in the cotton manu-
| featuring industry according to Com
missioner of Labor Carroll d. Wright
is 26 per cent. The Payne-Aldrich bill
fixes the average tariff rate on cotton

VISIT FROM DlAz
President of Mexico Will Cross
Border to Have Meeting
With Taft.
IF GOVERNMENT PERMITS
American Executive Will Observe
Precedent Not to Leave His
Own Country.

Washington, July 24.-It seems
probable President Taft will meet
President Diaz of Mexico at San An
tonic, Texas, instead of Ell Paso,
late in September Although there
is no constitutional inhibition against
the president visiting foreign coun-
try, there is an ironclad precedent
covering the whole period since es-
tablisment of the government, which
Taft is not disposed to break.
These facts were communicated to
President DiaZ, who promptly made
il known he would be pleased to
meet President Taft on American
territory provided the Mexican con-
gress granted him the necessary per-
mission, of which there seemed to
be no doubt.
No Demonstration.
1t is understood the meeting will
not be occasion for any spectacular
display or demonstration. The pres.
idents will meet quite informally and
spend short time together, wher
each will go his way.

Dispatches from various parts OF the

titled that they were present at the
fight which started between Lieuten-
ant Adams and Sutton. Each one of
them swore they saw Sutton deliber-
ately shoot himself in supposed
fit of remorse after someone had said
he had killed Lieutenant Rocker.
Their description of the incidents
just prior TO the shooting varied in
many respects. but they all agreed
positively as to the alleged suicide.
Evidence Contradicted.
Colonel Charles A. Doyen, senior
officer of the marine barracks at that
time, has corroborated the testimony
of the other witnesses as far as his
observation went. The testimony OF
Surgeon George Pickrell and of Ser
geant De Hart contradicts the evi-
dence of the others on material
points.

cupied with the testimony of the

Existing Rates on All
Leather Goods to be
Reduced.
BILL IS ABOUT READY
Work Will Practically be Con-
CIuded Before the End of
the Day.

Washington, July 24.-Hides will be
put upon the free list, and existing
rates on all leather goods will be sub
stantially reduced, some of them be-
low the duties fixed by either house or
senate tariff bills
While no vote was taken on the hide
question by the conference committee
today, practically every member ad-
mitted when recess was taken at
o'clock this program would be adopted.
Conferees silent.
AS those who have contended for the
retention of duty on hides have de-
manded a greater reduction in the
leather schedule than it is believed will
be made. the conferees refuse to speak
of the results attained at the forenoon
executive session of the conference
committee.
Therefore. while there is little doubt
hides are to be put on the free list, a
variety of opinions are expressed con
cerning duties to be fixed upon leather.
1t is generally accepted the program
VIII .Dt DIS lOIlOWS-
Probable Program.
Hides, free; sole leather. 8 per cent
ad valorem, same as house rate, 10 per
cent lower than senate rate; leather
for uppers, 7h per cent, which is one
half the rate of the senate and house
bills; boots and shoes, 10 per cent, as
against 15 per cent in the house and
90 per cent in the senate bill.
These rates, it is. said, are TO be ap-
piled to articles which are made chief
ly of grades of hides which would be
admitted free. Present indications are
the advocates of the duty on hides
will accept the situation after strug
gle in the senate.

There was, however. a great dea
of detail to be attended to and il

Union began slashing wages from 10

business so profitable that, even while
it refuses to recognize the union, 1T

One of the most recent indications
of railroad prosperity is found in the
decision Of the directorate of the Erie

Within the past few weeks the New

GETS CONSENT OF CHURCH
DisgraCed Bridegroom Tells Story
Wherein Royalty Defied Adj
ViSerS.

Paris, July 24.-King Alfonso's part
in the romance of his cousin, Prince
Alfonso of Bourbon Orleans, the true
story Of which came out yesterday, is
likely to startle Europe and create Il
greater sensation than did--the we'd
ding and subsequent degradation of
the prince.
1t has been said that the king re-
fused his consent to the marriage of
his relative and namesakc to the Prin-
cess Beatrice of Saxe-Coburg This, it
has just been learned, was directly
the opposite of what he did do.
Advised Match.
King Alfonso not only favored the
match, but advised it. He not only ad
vised it, but aided and abetted it. Not
only did he tell the young couple most
Interested to go ahead and get mar
sled. but he directed his personal in
huence in obtaining the necessary con-
sent of the church.
The young ruler, when his admins
trative advisers had said no to the
wedding, called his cousin to him and
asked the latter what he intended to
do about it in the face of government
tai opposition. The cousin said he was
going 10 marry the girl, it mattered not
what ministers said or did With this
reply the king was highly pleased.
Leave of Absence Given.
He told his cousin to proceed, and
That he would do everything He coui;I
10 help him in the succeeding events.
The king told his cousin to marry
the princess secretly and gave him
leave of absence for that purpose.
Then he interviewed by telegraph with
the Bamberg ecclesiastical authorities,
in whose diocese the marriage took
place. to procure dispensation for it.
This remarkable story was obtained
| from the princes own lips by friend
a few days ago in Munich, where the
couple are spending their honeymoon

Annapolis, Md, July 24.-The
navy practically rested its case yes
terday in the investigation of the
surrounding the death
of Lieutenant James N Sutton of
Portland, Ore, who was adjudged
a suicide by the first naval board of
inquiry nearly two years ago. After
a short session yesterday Command
er John Hood, U. S. N, president of
the court of inquiry, adjourned the
hearing until Monday.
1--WE are entirely satisfied with the
progress and development of the
case" said Henry Z. Davis of Wash
ington, counsel for Lieutenant SUIT
tons mother. 1--WE have discovered
nothing in the way of surprises and
what has developed in the nature of
the unexpected has been confirma-
tory of ouf opinion or the affair and
has strengthened our belief that
Lieutenant Sutton was killed in a
duel"
Theory of Relatives.
Sutton's mother and sister have
contended from the start that neither
a verdict of suicide nor even one oi
accidental death could be based OIL
the real facts, and that some out
side agency is responsible for Stu
tons death, which, they declare, re
suited from a mysterious bulle
wound in his head inflicted durin
! a brawl with officers of his corps.
So far four OF Sutton's brother OF
ficers in the marine corps have ties
