TWIN FALLS, Idaho, March s.
Late arrivals here from Jarbidge gold
camp, confirm previously received
rumors that a prospector named Bell
fell over the PERCEPTIONS sides OF a
crater in that district last Sunday and
was buried and probably smothered to
death in the snowbanks 1900 feet be-
low. This unfortunate first victim OF
the mad rush for gold in the newly
found northern Nevada colorado was
walking with two partners on the edge
of the crater, which is 10000 feet high
IN altitude. He had failed to measure
the extension of the snow owe the
precipitous rocky points forming the
inside of the rim, and stepping too near
1t, was seen to disappear suddenly into
the abyis, yelling in fear. Shots that
were fred from the revolvers OF his
W associates failed to receive re-
sponses, and they repaired to camp, ten
miles distant that evening. A search
ing party was at once organized, and
reached the crater just after day break
One of these men was lowered into the
crater 200 feet, attached to the only
rope possible of that length which
could be manufactured by splicing sew
eral short ones. Resting on a protrud
ing rock, he shouted that below no sigl

G. H. Hays, one of the owners of the
famous Hays-Monnette lease, which IN
the early days of Goldfeld established
the immense richness of the Mohawk
property, arrived yesterday afternoon
from his home in Los Angeles. Accom-
panied by Tom Short, who was his fore
man in early mining operations here.
Mr.. Hays will spend several days look
ing over present prospects in the min
ing district. If the pioneer operator
takes another chance here he will have
many followers, for there is a saying
that often proves true, that history will
repeat itself.

Three SHIFTS BUSY
AT The Lind LEASE

Three shifts of men are steadily
working in the Lind Lease on the
Booth, making about six feet per day
in the crosscut that is being driven to
the east from the 260-foot level of the
shaft. The crosscut is now out So feet
from the shaft, working in the solid
dacite. The formation is all dipping
to the east, and the crosscut is going
through it approximately at right an
giles.
No ore has been encountered and
there has been little if any change in
the formation since work was started
nor is any change expected for some
time yet.
Work on the Weber, Mclaughlin lease
(the Booth Leasing company on the
Booth is steadily progressing, the cross
cut to the northwest now out 160 feet.
The erosscut is now going through a
massive dacite dyke, practically barren,
and considerable water is coming in, so
that at times the men in the lateral are
forced to wear "slickerso and water
proof hats and boots. The crosscut is
merely exploration work, and If nothing
develops soon work of sinking a winze
in the low grade ore shoot that was fol
lowed for some distance will be com
menced.

"simply stated the relative form OF
gravity is measured by finding the time
oscillation of pendulums. If the attrac-
ton of gravity is greater at one point
than at another, the time OF oscillation
will be less for the first point than for
the second. In order to measure this
difference with the exceeding accuracy
needed many accessory instruments are
needed, and many conditions have to
be fulfilled. 50 that the actual practice

TAKE CARE OF The BOYS"
Those Were Dying Words of Late
President of Sugar Refinery.

PRESIDENT or sugar Refinery.
New York, June THAT the late
II. o. Havemeyer, the former presi.
dent of the American Sugar Refining
company, gave directions two weeks
before his death, in 1907. to take
care of the boys" was part of the
testimony heard in the trial of three
officials of the company charged with
completely in conspiracy to defraud
the government of customs dues.
Ernest W. Gerbracht, refinery su.
perintendent, James f. Bendernagel,
former cashier of the refinery, and
Charles p. Heike, secretary treasurer
OF the company, are the three on trial.
Take care of those boys; get
counsel for them; see them through
it, were the orders Gerbracht said
he received from Havemeyer when
he informed him after the first ar
rest of checkers, that the men in
sisted on their innocence.
Taking cars of the boys" Ger.
bracht later testified, had extended
to paying their wages from the day
they left the company's service until
the present time. The salary of Oil
yer Splitter, former dock superinten-
dent, who was pardoned from the
Atlanta penitentiary by President
Taft, Gerbracht said, was paid to Mrs.
Splitter while her husband was in
prison and he believed she was still
getting it.
Splitter when on the stand for pros.
ecution testified that his salary ceased
when he was locked up. Gerbracht
was the chief witness in his own de-
Tense. Theodore Havemyer, he said,
had absolute charge of the refinery
until his death in 1897, and H. o. Have
myer last personally directed all the
routine.
An attempt to introduce character
witnesses for Gerbracht and Heike
brought on admission from the govern
ment that both men had enjoyed good
regulations.
Gerbracht was still on the stand
when adjournment was taken. AS
soon as his defense is concluded,
Heike's attorneys will offer testimony
in their clients behalf. He will be the
last of the defendants to have a hear.
ing, as Bendernagel's defense rested.

1 selves. The vote was taken on an
amendment to the railroad bill offered
! by Senator Bailey of Texas, making
1t unlawful for any railroad company
to transport from one state to another
ANY article or commodity manufac.
tured or produced by il or under its
authority or by any corporation Joint
stock company, or partnership in
which said railroad company holds,
owns or controls directly or indirectly
any stock or interest"
The amendment was intended to
remedy the supposed defect in the
commodities clause of the Hepburn
act of 1906, out of which grew the ia.
nous decision of the supreme court of
the United States in which the govern.
ment undertook to prosecute mum.
Der of roads engaged in the mining of
anthracite coal in Pennsylvania. The
court held the law to be constitution
al but materially limited its applica-
ton.
TIL oeriginal provision was drawn
by Senator Bailey and he sought by
this amendment to force the court to
face squarely the question of the right
of congress to prohibit railroad com.
panies from transporting commodi
ties produced by themselves. In good
natured manner but with pointed
language he criticized the court and
said that it was his Intention to make
the language of the present provision
so plain that mot even a Judge of
the supreme court could fail to un.
derstand it,"
The amendment was offered to-
wards the close of the session and
attracted much attention. 1t follow
ed a busy day, during which several
amendments were acted upon most of
them favorably. The time consumed
in debate on the Bailey amendment
prevented final vote being reported
on the bill as had been hoped

WOOL RATES DID GO UP
Government Didn't Enioin All of the
Rate Increases Made.

Washington, June 2.-Rates of the
Western Trunk Line association which
were prevented from becoming effec-
tive by an injunction granted by the
United States circuit court at Hanni.
bal, Mo-, constitute only a part of the
advances made by the Western Trunk
Line association. The Injunction ap-
plies only to tariff A. ll5, mentioned
in the bill filed before the circuit court
by representatives of the department
of justice. The tariffs filed practically
simultaneously with the interstate
commerce commission by the Western
Trunk Line association making ad-
vances in the rates on commodities
between Chicago and Milwaukee and
between Chicago and st. Paul, and be,
tween ST. Paul and eastern destna.
tons on wool, are in effect today.
While these tariffs are not so i'm
portant as those making advances in
general commodities between Missouri
and Mississippi river transfers, they
are nevertheless of considerable con-
Germ to shippers in Western Trunk
Line territory to Atlantic seaboard
points. The increase in the freight
transportation of wool from st. Paul
points to New York and Boston par
ticularly is of immense interest to
consignors as it means a fiat advance
of 10 cents hundred pounds. This
increase applies to all western wool
passing through Minneapolis or St.
Paul destined to Atlantic tide water
destination. 1t is not explained why
the Injunction sought by the depart
ment of justice was not made apple
able to all of the advances recently
made by the Western Trunk Line as.

Their Mr. Bryan is going to be a can.
didate for the senate and the matter
is being given particular attention at
this because of the action of

THE BLEAcHEO FLOUR CASE.
Testimony as to Process Of Bleaching,
Is Introduced.

Kansas City, June 2. II John NJ.
Mitchell of st. Louis, president of a
company that manufacturers machin-
cry used in a certain process for
bleaching flour, was the first witness
in the bleached flour case today. He
testified that his company installed
the machinery used by the Lexington
Mill and Elevator company at Lexing-
ton, Neb., where the flour seized by
the government and forming the basis
of this suit, was manufactured.
B. o. Perry, a grocer of Green Cas-
tie, Mo-, testified that he bought the
flour, 625 sacks, from a salesman of
the Lexington Mill and Elevator COM
pany and after selling twenty-eight
sacks, United States marshal seized
the remaining sacks in his possession
He said he bought the flour under a
guarantee and that no representation
was made to him as to whether the
flour was bleached. He said the Lex
ington mill replaced the flour seized by
the government.
James S. Shepard, professor of
chemistry at the state agriculture col
lege of South Dakota, qualified as an
expert on the chemical processes Incl
dent to the manufacture and bleaching
of flour. His testimony was a thor
ough technical description of these
processes.

cULEsRA SLIDE is SERIOUS.
A Great Quantity of Dirt Caved in and
Covered up the Tracks.

Washington, June 2.-The Culebra
slide, which has been the cause Of
much apprehension on the part of the
construction engineers on the 18TH
mus of Panama has become more SER
ious than was at first feared. On the
morning of April IS, twelve steam
shovels were unable to resume work
owing to the movements of the slides
in Culebra and Cucaracha cuts. Dur
ing the night of the 18th mass of
stone and mud estimated at 100000
cubic yards broke away from the
main mass of Cucaracha slide and
dropped rapidly into the canal, filling
the Pioneer cut for distance of 900
feet and stopping only at the toe Of
the west bank Many Of the tracks
were covered or torn away, delaying
the work of removing tie debris,
which require four days. At Culebra
the damage done was comparatively
small and after few hours work the
conditions were about normal.

Woman Fails to Prove any Occult I'm.
moral Act, Chief Claims.

Cleveland, June 2.-The second day
the trial of Chief of Police Kohler,
Cleveland's Golden Rule" chief, on
charges of immortality, intoxication
and INSTRUMENTATION was favorable for
the defense. The prosecution put on
the stand their star witness, woman
who was expected to prove the more
serious charges of immortality. In
substance all the testimony she gave
was that she had seen Chief Kohler
drinking wine in disorderly house
The next important witness was
Patrick j. Brown, a former police
man at Munice, Ind, and one of the
two men who signed the charges
against the accused official. Brown
complained that on one occasion
when his automobile had been stolen
Kohler refused to listen to his COM
plant and had ordered him out of his
office. On cross examination he ad-
mitted he had bet money on the re-
suit of the trial and that he had also
made a bet of $40 in January that
he would get Kohler yet"

GUS and persistent clinging to empty
titles, there were no fewer than three
kings of India at the funeral of Ed

Both the king of Spain and the king
of Portugal are officially styled king
of India, and the former also claims

long talk with him. At its conclusion
he was still rather favorably consid-

Mr.. Reed is a strong opponent of
county option. He was formerly a
partner in law practice with w. V.

ably mix up the democratic situation
if he finally decides to run.
Information from out in the state
is to the effect that C. w. Bryan is
trying to get Chris Gruenther to get

up the democrats in favor of county
option. The report has it that there
is bare possibility of success, but
this report cannot be verified now.
