into effect an advance in freight rates
in western territory, tomorrow.

portions of Protestant communicates
are Memphis, S44 per cent; Toledo,
70 per cent; Washington, 66.9 per
cent: Kansas City, Mo-, 66.2 per cent;
and Indianapolis, GIL per cent.
The cities showing the largest per-
centages of Roman Catholic communi-
cants are Fall River, S6.5 per cent;
San Francisco, S1.1 per cent; New Or
leans, 1877 per cent; New York, 1853
per cent; Providence 1855 per cent;
st. Louis, So per cent; Boston, 6S.7

portion of communicates to popula-
tion was: New York, 447 percent;
Chicago, 4O.7; Philadelphia, 3S.S; Bos-
ton $685. and st. Louis, 46.6 per cent.
1t is stated that, in general, cities
which have a relatively large Roman
Catholic population show higher per
centage of church members than cities
in which this body has comparatively
small representation. In Fall River
S6.5 per cent Of the total number of
members reported were Roman Cath
olics and the church membership rep
resented CTS per cent of the popula-
ton. while in Memphis, where S4.4 per
cent Of the communicates reported be-
longed to protestant bodies, the church
membership was only 80 per cent OF
the population.

The party then proceeded to Green
City, where Larkins father lived, and
there found the desired papers, in a
bank. where Larkin had put them up
as security for loan Of $23s. After
a consultation the father agreed to
pay the amount due the Green City
bank, and release Berger's papers.
This with the amount to be paid by

ROOSEVELT'S ADVICE IS
SENSATION IN LONDON
BY Associated Press.


London, England, May 81. = Theo-
dore Roosevelt today was presented
with the freedom of the city of Lon
don, and he accepted it with liter
alism that led him into frankness of
speech that created a sensation in old
Giuld Hall. AS the former head of a
nation that once paid tribute to Great
Britain, the American statesman gave
some bold advice to the motherland as
to her duty toward her most trouble
some dependency in Africa. 1T was,
Roosevelt said, "either right or not
right for Great Britain to be in
Egypt to establish order If it was
not right she should get out"

Speaks in FAVOR of Resolution to Submit Con-
stitutional Amendment for Election of Sena-
tors and Members of Congress by Popular
Vote---Such an Amendment Would
Preuent Corruption of Legisla-
lures Declares Oklahoma
statesman.
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
Washington. May 31.-"It will be
better for this country" said Senator
owen, of Oklahoma, today, when
senators and members of congress
and states legislators and municipal
Legislators are chosen by the direct
vote of the people and when the peo-
pie have the right to recall by the
nomination of a successor to their
public servants. The people will
never abuse their power" The sem
ator was speaking in the senate in
favor of resolution introduced by
him, in accordance with the wishes of
the legislature of the state of Okla
homa, providing for the submission of
a constitutional amendment for the
election of senators by direct vote of
the people.
Such an amendment, he said, would
prevent the corruption of legislatures,
would prevent the improper use Of
money in the campaigns by men am
bilious to obtain a seat in the senate
and would compel candidates for the
senate to be subjected to the severe
scrutiny of a campaign before the
people and compel the selection of the
best-ftted men. Further, he said, it
would popularize government and
tend to increase the confidence of the
people in the senate, which has been
to some extent impaired in recent
years. 1t would also prevent dead
locks, he continued, due to political
contests in which various states from
time to time had been left unrepre-
sented.
Il cannot believe" said Senator
Owen, that the senate is conscious
of the widespread public demand for
the election of senators by direct vote
of the people. I therefore submit evi-
dence of action taken by the various
states, showing that thirty-six of them
have expressed themselves, in one
form or another, fayorably to the cleo
ton of senators by direct vote of the
people.
81 believe" he declared, that the
will of the people is far more nearly
right in the main than the will of any
individual statesman who is apt to be
honored by them with a seat in the
senate; that the whole people are
more apt to be safe and sane. more
apt to be sound and honest than a
single individual. At all events feel
not only willing but really desire to
make effective the will of the people
of my state.
Democratic and republican states
alike west of the Hudson river have
acted favorably in this matter almost
without exception. Only eight or nine
states have failed to act, and do
not doubt that if the voice of the peo-
pie of these states of New England, of
New York, Maryland and Delaware
could find convenient expression, free
from machine politics, every one of
them would favor the election of SEN
ators by direct vote and would favor
the right of the people to instruct
their representatives in congress and
the senate.
mot only the states have acted al
most unanimously in favor of this

BELIEVES IN HEATING.

Jesse b. Roote. president of the
is i'm Duluth today, en- route to Butte
from the east, says the Duluth Herald.
Mr.. Roote is enthusiastic and optim-
istic as To the future of the Heating
mine. and he has facts and figures to
show as basis for his enthusiasm.
The directors of the company have
decided on the policy of enlightening
their stockholders regularly as to the
status of the property and the prog
ress of development and marketing.
"As soon as | reach home" said Mr..
Roote this morning. Il will issue a cir
cular letter to the stockholders, show
ing the progress made at the mine
since active work was begun three
months ago. The statement will show
the exact cost Of mining, the smelter
returns and the average value of ore
per ton, and the extent of the devel-
opment of the property. so that stock
holders may satisfy themselves as to
the value of the property. Such state
ments will be sent hereafter for each
two months operation"
on the general outlook at the mine
and the extent of the operations al
ready conducted. Mr.. Roote said:
THE Heating mine has been suffi-
GENTLY developed and explored to make
certain it's permanency as one OF the
great mines of the Rocky mountain
states. The opinion that it is the best
and the greatest gold mine i'm the
state of Montana is shared by a num-
Der of eminent mining engineers Of
wide experience. The men Interested
i'm the Heating company have never at
any time attempted To make money
out of the stock. and have at all times
expected to reap their profits out of
the mine i'm the form Of dividends.
Developments at the mine have been
most encouraging. shipments have con-
tinued at the rate OF one carload per

iNDIANA'S FIND.

Capt c. ii. Palmer, the well known
ger of the Butte and Boston proper
ty in its early days and who had an
important hand in the opening up of
the big Boston and Montana mines,
was in Boston yesterday. says the
Boston Journal. The captain is the
oldest mining captain i'm the Lake
Superior country and his opinions re-
garding the conditions i'm that district
have in the past been almost invar-
iably correct. In speaking yesterday
of the recent sensational developments
on the south range and particularly of
the wonderful find" on the Indiana
property, he said that. with all the
great development that the Lake Cop
per country had had during the past
fifty years, he believed that its really
great wealth was yet to be uncovered.
With the modern facilities now pro-
vided for the opening up of the unex-
plored territory, there was nothing to
prevent the exploration work going
forward with leaps and bounds.
Surprising as have been the discov-
cries made on the Lake and Indiana
properties, he believes that the great
mineral belt on which they were To-
Gated had scarcely as yet been scratch
ed. The Calumet and Hecla property
started with conglomerate lode that
averaged 5lA per cent. copper-the only
rich lode ever found in the district.
If now the Indiana shall prove to have
a rich conglomerate ii is almost sure
to be world beaten. Conglomerate
lodes are deposited under water and
a conglomerate bed always has great
length, which means. of course, that
the drill find" made on the Indiana
property is likely to prove up not only
as rich as it appears at present, but
also sufficiently extensive to even
tually make the roperty one of the
biggest and most profitable producers
in the whole Lake copper district.
The Calumet news. [volume] (Calumet, Mich.) 1907-1938, 1910-01-25

open by crosscuts with depth. We
have proved the main vein, on which
the drift has been extended 1000 feet
on the fQO-foot level, to three quarters
of mile from the shaft.
The company has recently purchas-
ed adjoining claims, until now il con-
trolls and owns outright total OF al
most 5000 feet in length on the vein
and from 1000 To 1000 feet in width.
With depth copper is coming I'm very
strongly without affecting the gold
values. For instance, one car of ore
reaching the smelter last week show
ed l6 per cent of copper and at tn 2
same time carried $23 in gold. The
electric pole line which the company
is building twenty-five miles to get
electric power into the mine, Is almost
I'm place. The electric machinery or
dered is expected within the next four
weeks and within two months the mine
expects to be operating by electricity
instead of steam. The mine is now
shipping fifty tons per day from one
shaft and doing all the development
and prospective work besides. with
the second shaft in operation, as 1t
Will be i'm three months, and with the
development work at the mine pushed
ahead as ii will be, the property can
easily produce $50 tons per day. even
on the basis of using teams for the
eleven miles to the railroad.
Mining costs are now running at
about SO per ton. With electric ma
chinery and increased output they
should be below So per ton. With the
appearance of copper with depth, as
now appears to be the tendency of the
mine, the average value of the ore will
probably increase"
