 turned to their home in Los Angeles
 after ten days visit in Kingman.
 The new strikes in Boundary Cone,
 in the San Francisco district, are said
 to be showing up nicely. Specimens
 from the new mines show we'll in free gold.
 J. c. Potts returned few days ago from a trip to the mines of Thumb Butte, where he is interested in the Atlantic and Pacific group. The mines are showing good bodies of a milling grade of ore, while work is being carried on in an effort to find the source of the rich gold rock found lying on the surface of the claims.
 Stephen Barron, general manager of the Revenue Mines company, which operated mines in the Chemehuevis district last year, has removed his base of operations to the San Francisco district, and now has property in the vicinity of the Tom Reed. Work is to be inaugurated on the mines, the con- pany preparing for an active cam paign. MT. Barren believes that the two districts are among the most promising gold bearing camps of the Pacific coast and that the companies now operating in them will make good.
 The crank shaft, recently broken on the hoisting engine of the BelleAower mines, southwest of Kingman, has been repaired and is now in commis- sion. Work of sinking the shaft is in progress and big headway is being made Miners that visited the mines say that the shaft is now nearing the ore body and that small stringers of ore are showing in the workings. The shaft is being sunk at a lesser pitch than the vein and it was estimated that the vein would be penetrated at a depth of sixty feet. The recent ship ment of ore from the property netted a good sum of money at the Needles shelter.
 The automobile owners of Kingman have gotten move on and are i'm proving the roads that lead from this town to the several mining camps in the surrounding districts. Many of the roads can be made practical for fast driving with a small amount of betterment, but some of the roads used largely by the big teams must have considerable work done to bring them up to the high standard that fast automobile driving requires. We are pleased to note that many men are interesting themselves in the better ment of the roads. as with good roads Kingman and the surrounding country will be much benefited. One of the first things that the people of the town should do is to make a high grade through the Kingman canyon 10 a point near the Mcguire ranch. This work would cost several thousand dollars, but the town would be the gainer by many times that amount within the years. Surveys ought to be made of the other grades leading to and from the town, and many of the heavy pulls can be oviated and others reduced to a minimum.

ALL SURFACE WATER
 HAS BEEN APPROPRIATED
Further Reclamation Will Depend Up- on Development of Underground
 Supply.

Denver, Sept. 22-That every drop of surface water capable ooof being turned to irrigation is already appro- priated. is practically the opinion of experts who read papers at the con ference on conservation in session here today. The conference was arranged by the department of agriculture.
 Supplies from other sources than running streams must be looked to for meantime new reclamation projects should be held in abeyance.
 In line with this view of conditions experiments are being made in differ ent sections into the feasibility of pumping operations. In California. Washington, Kansas and New Mexico these experiments are being carried on under the direction of representatives from the agricultural department in Washington. Pumping from great depths into huge reservoirs from which the water is distributed over the soil has been successful in the Pacific coast states, said one speaker.
 Representatives from several west ern and several Atlantic states and the agricultural department are attending the conference. Several foreign coun- tries are also represented. The read ing of papers covering the science of irrigation, the results of experiments, and conditions generally and the dis cussion of them were features of to- days program.

 CONTROVERSY.
RecIlections of Verbal Conversations
 Not to Be Relied Upon.

Oyster Bay, Sept. 22.-When the correspondence with Archbishop Ire land, given out yesterday by Mrs. Bellamy Storer, was mentioned to Col. Roosevelt today, he said he did not intend to be drawn into renewal of the controversy. He declined to make any extended reply to Mrs. Storer. but he confined himself to this comment:
 -Four years ago, when I was presi- dent, Bellamy Storer Was ambassador to Austria. All the letters from me to the Storers and from them to me were published. The letters must speak for themselves"
 In his opinion, he added. the corre- spondence formed a record against which no recollection of verbal con versations could stand. and that therefore the question of veracity could not be entertained

THE INCREASING BURDEN
With Increasing Business, According to Commis- sioner Lane Not To Be Laid Upon Shippers In Shape of Higher Rates

Chicago, Sept 22-The railroads must adjust their economic difficult ties by some other means than by asking shippers to contribute funds therefor. in the opinion of Interstate Commerce Commissioner Lane, as ex- pressed during the hearing today in the western rate increase cases.
 Railroad officers and attorneys sought to learn if the commissioner implied that there must be read justment of the method of financing the big carrier systems, but MT. Lane ignored their efforts and continued to ask the witness to whom he had directed his startling remarks pointed questions on the amount and disposi- tion of the earnings of the railroad in question. the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul
 The witness was W. R. Ellis, com merce counsel for the St Paul Mir. Ellis testified that the company was suffering from too much business, and that an increase meant an in crease of the unit of cost which grew faster than the unit of income, there by threatening the surplus earnings above the payment of dividends and the cost of operation and mainte- nance.
 Mir. Lane then said: AS the coun- try develops there will be more and more freight delivered to you. and as conditions are now, the rates con- stantly must be increased. according to the officials. l argue that it is a menace to the country if the rates constantly are to be increased. We must work out this problem on lines other than by the proposed method of raising tariffs. If not. there will be no time when one can say the maximum has been reached"
 This unexpected development came as a result of an inquiry into the St Paurs profits. particularly from public lands acquired in recent years. Ellis denied the commissioners sug- gestion that the roads optimism when it built it's transcontinental extension had turned to pessimism now

 Be According to Wishes.

J Krack of Brooklyn naval officer of the port: Representative w. M. Calder of Brooklyn: Controller w.

 All through the fight which began with the Sherman incident the colonel refused to express any opinion as to the outcome and none was expected from him today. but reports this evening convinced him it was all over but the shouting Unless some un expected reversal should be met, it is positive that the republican organt ization will be forced to give ground before the progressives at Saratoga next week. His estimate of 100 ma jority was concurred in by the others who attended the conference
 The attitude of the Roosevelt forces toward the Taft administration was outlined by Barnard. Tn my opin ion." said he.-'the Saratoga conven- tion will adopt a resolution strongly endorsing the administration of Pres ident Taft In accordance with the presidents expressed wish no men ton will be made of 1912. No oppo- sition to the endorsement Of the ad- ministration will come from delegates friendly to Roosevelt Bannards statement coming directly after the conference had taken place is a plain indication that Colonel Roosevelt had agreed with the others on this plan.
 Colonel Roosevelt said the names of several candidates for governor had been gone over once more but no agreement of any kind on any of them had been reached. The plat form was also discussed, but it was not even tentatively outlined outside of tine understanding that it would be progressive.
