Twenty Miles of Colorado Workings Being Explored to Find
 Victims.

Leyden, Colo, Dec. 17.-A party of rescuers, headed by Prof. J. c. Rob. erts of the government mine rescue bureau, equipped with oxygen hel. nets, began exploring 20 miles of workings in the south half of the Ley. den coal mine to find ten miners en, tombed there by a fire which has been raging in No. shaft. Mean. while other men are bratticing off the main entry from shaft No. 1 in an endeavor to reach the imprisoned men.
 The rescuers are compelled to push their way through clouds of deadly afterdamp and smoke which fill the interior workings. Prof Roberts be- lieves the ten miners may still be alive.
 'If the men kept their heads and remained where they were known to be working, they are safe. If they tried to push their way out through shaft No. 1 they are probably dead. We found a number of dead mules in the shaft, where the air is very bad" said Roberts.

New York, Dec. 17.-Accompanying the announcement that the Standard Oil company has issued a final quar- terly dividend to shareholders amount ing to $10,00,000, it was calculated that John D.

Mr.. IRWIN WILL
ARRIVE ON SIERRA

William G. Irwin VIII arrive in the
islands by the Sierra on May 10 for
an indefinite stay. He may be here
until the autumn or longer.
To some it is somewhat remark
able coincidence that the revival OF
the Federal building site matter
should imediately precede the an
nouncement Of the coming of Mr.. IT.
win-the man most interested in the
negative side Of the question when it
was before the people some months
ago-a coincidence that has been va
riously commented upon in the streets
today.
Mr. E. l. Spalding, who usually
speaks for Mr. Irwin, was seen about
the matter this morning and said: IT
is merely a coincidence. The coming
of Mr.. Irwin had nothing and has
nothing to do with the revival of the
Federal building site matter. IN
fact I have reason to believe that Mr.
irwin has had no intimation Of the
revival of the question and does not
even know that the plans for the new
building have arrived here.
"Mr. Irwin is paying his usual visit
to the islands, made necessary by his
business interests here; and 1 am
satified that he has not the Federal
building site matter IN mind"

COMMENT ON THE
RUBBER MADNESS

All of the financial papers of Eng
land received in the late mails con-
tain extensive comments upon the
rubber craze which struck
London in February ana seems to be
still under way, with very slight
abatement of intensity-the latter IN
spite of the warning note which is be-
ing constantly sounded by the con-
sentative press of Great Britain. For
instance, Reynolds Newspaper, of
London, says: Once the difficulties
and uncertainties of the future are
realized, enthusiasm concerning the
rubber producing industry, is likely
to cool down considerably. Even in
vestors will begin to realize that the
making of huge profits is not dead
certainty. Long before that discov-
cry is made spectators for the rise
will see that the game is up and beat
hasty retreat. Deprived of their
support, the market will collapse N
the usual way, and the rubber COM
pany world will be strewn with
wreckage."
1t is worthy of note that the Satur-
day Review, the Manchester Guar
dian and the Statist-moulders of Bril-
fish opinion-take much the same
view
The New York Evening Post rather
sarcastically remarks that it is the
way of the English stock market and
its patrons to converge their specula-
tive excitment, at such times as the
rubber craze" presents, on some one
particular class of shares, actually in
juring the market for investments OF
firmer character.
Capital, the leading financial jouf-
nal of Calcutta, says: Rubber specu-
dia, it is otherwise in Ceyloh and the
straits. The propinquity of these
Crown Colonies, our intimate trade
relations with them, and the fact that
we supply most OF their labor 10 Worh
their rubber plantations, make it i'm
possible for us to be apathetic in the
present crisis. Were a crash to come
some of our commercial houses woulr
feel the shock"
Under the heading rs There Nc
Mercy?" the Straits Times, of Sing
apore,. comments strongly on The
prospectuses being put out showing
the impossible in rubber prospects
The Puala Pahi Estates, for instance
figures itself out at 129 pounds ster
ling per acre of one year old rubber
or 80 pounds more than Shepherd
Comparative Analysis Tables gives a
a reasonable price.

cANApAis BANK SYSTEM.

According to the Monetary Times
of Toronto, there is much searching
of hearts in Canada at this moment
as to the merits or defects of the Ca
madam banking system, There has
been a detailed investigation for the
information of the United States Mo-
notary Commission. The revision CT
the Canadian Banking Act has been
suggested in certain quarters. Spe-
cial Importance has now been given
to the subject by the retirement OF
Mr.. H. c. Mcleod, general manager
of the Bank of Nova Scotia. He
chose the occasion to sound a note
of warning about the future Of Cana
dian banking, He foresees grave
danger owing to the imitation Il
bank credit on which Canada is en-
tering. He mistrusts the process OF
amalgamation which has reduced the
number of banks from Al to 20 in a
period of 81 years. A keen dis
cussion centers round the question
of inspection. Mr. McLeod's opinion
is that the work should be under
taken by the Canadian Bankers AS
ISOLATION Government inspection
too, has it's partizans. Some banks
engage chartered accountants. 1t
is plausibly urged by others that nc
inspection by outsiders can be as ef'
ficlent as that carried out by the
banks own officials.

LIFE INSURANCE
ON THEWANE HERE

Life insurance companies evidently
do not find good picKings in Hawaii,
particularly since the scandals of a
few years ago affecting the larger
companies of New York. About six
months ago the Provident Insurance
Company abandoned its Hawaiian
agency, since when policy holders
have been forced to correspond with
the general agency in the east
Now comes the information that
the Germania Life VIII cease its Ha-
waiian efforts on anything like a large
scale. This company branched out
here years ago under Gear, Lansing
& Company, Emmett May and others
and finally passed under the wing Of
the Waterhouse Trust, with John w.
Farwell as manager. Mr.. Farwell
will shortly leave the islands to enter
the Office of his company in Seattle;
and it is understood that his de-
parture will mark the end Of anything
like an extensive bid for business by
the Germania in Hawaii
The New York Life is making some
small efforts in the direction of new
business here, but the Equitable and
Mutual Life seem to be conlining
their efforts to renewals" Insur-
ance pickings in the Paradise of the
Pacific have grown exceedingly
short.
