WILL SET RAIL STANDARD
Train Control Board to Investigate
and Decide on Question

Washington, July 9.-The block sig
nal and train control board of the in
terstate commerce commission has de-
cided it has jurisdiction to investi-
gate the composition of steel rails and
report upon just what kind of rails
the roads engaged in interstate COM
merce sail be required TO use. There
is now in prospect, therefore a three
cornered fight among the makers of
steel rails the railroads and the board.
Railroad engineers contend the quail
ity of steel rails were responsible for
many wrecks.
They claim heat and cold cause
rails to be brittle and possess other
qualities after little use.
The steel companies have protested
the rails turned out by the best pro
cesses cannot be improved.
Several large systems are expert
menting with rail treated by new
process. The New York Central has
had on its roadbed leading into the
Grand Central station in New York
above 5000 tons of these rails. The
Pennsylvania and the Baltimore &
Ohio are conducting experiments also
and the block signal and train con-
troll board will itself make expert
ments.

The prevailing idea that the Indian is rapidly disappearing is far from cor rect, according to the board of Indian commissioners. The board has been here several days preparing its report. The members say there are about 300,- 600 Indians in the country now, and that the best estimates hold there never were more than that number-even when Columbus discovered America.
 It is true, the commissioners say, that many of the 300,000 arc not full-bloods. Moreover the ravages of tuberculosis are becoming alarmingly great. The board, in its report to the secretary of the interior, urges that vigorous war be waged upon tuberculosis among the red men, with increayed hospital ser vice, outdoor camps and more doctors.

CAMP IN FINE CONDITION AND EVERYTHING POINTS TO

SMALL NUMBER MEN LAID 0FF
DEVELOPMENT COMPANIES GRAD UAILY INCREAgING FORCES
 AS TIME GOES ON.

Many rumors have been current of late of the eurtailment of operations by the Old Dominion Copper Mining < Smelling company, and a good deal of pessimistic talk has been heard that IS unwarranted by the facts.
 During the whole of last year great amount of construction and develop ment work was carried on by the o.d Dominion company and the number ot mechanics and miners employed was correspondingly large. Nearly all the extraordinary work has been completed and a reduction of the force followed naturally. Some of the most important mine work has been completed, notably on the l4th end 18th levels where cons nections have been made between the extraction drifts and A shaft. work or B shaft has been lessened and all hoist linz win be at A shaft. There has also been a reduction of the smelter force where four furnaces were in commission lup to Saturday last, since which time lonly three have been operated
 With electrolytic copper selling at
 l2l-4 cents, there is no inducement for large output of copper, and in fact, some of the larger companies in the
 United States are seriously considering
 the abvisability of curtailing produc- ton. as the only means of checking the
 heavy accumulation of copper that has
 been going on for several months.
 However, the Old Dominion produc. Ition for March win probably exceed that of February and will fall little short of 3,0o0,060 pounds. Probably the company has reduced it's force lit tie more than l50 and there are fewer
 men on the payroll of the Old Dominion company now than for long time, but | that fact does not justify the dolefu talk indulged in by some people wh'
 are easily disecu.asei.
 | As a matter of fact there are nearly as many men employed in Globe distric at present as there were at any tim' Hast year. This is accounted for by th' large amount of development starte' by companies recently organized, ant
 these may be expected to gradually en Ilarge operations and add to the numoe
 of their employees.
 Globe is po place for the pessiriiis' The camp is in splendid condition. Tn mines are all working and development : are highly favorable. General bushes lis good, real estate values are rising building is going on in every quarte , of the town, and the future for dlob and the great mineral district tribatar to it was never before so bright.
