FIRE IN POWER HOUSE
 CAUSES AWFUL CRUSH

Jersey City, Dec. 19-The worst crush in the history of downtown committing, in New York, followed an accident that put the entire Ho- boken and Manhattan Railway sys- tenn, operating the tunnel trains be- tween Hoboken, Jersey City and Sixth avenue and 33rd street. Man hattan, out of business. The accident was a fire in the Jersey City power house of the company and the entire system was left without electric pow CT for hours.
 The Pennsylvania Railway, has, as the result of the opening of its tun- nel and new station, abolished the 23rd street ferry entirely and reduc- ed the number of boats on the other two lines. The result was that the thousands of commuters on that road and on the Jersey trOlleys were herded like cattle on the few boats running and it was necessary to call out police reserves to keep the crowds quiet.
 The fire was put out after a couple of hours, but the machinery was dam aged so badly that several hours were needed to make repairs.

Under the Federal Constitution. rev. enue bills must originate in the House. Congressman Hill has found that in ago, Senators Hale. Hoar. Dawes. AL lison. Conkling. and other old-timers sustained in debate or in reports the proposition that the Senate could not amend tariff bills. except in regard to the specific articles they dealt with. If this principle should be accepted by the next Congress. the. Democratic House may change the tariff by sim gle schedules without danger of the Senate adding thereto other schedules or a complete revision. As may be recalled. President Taft favors the sin ble-schedule method. Speaker to-be Clark also favors 1t. and MT. Cummins in the Senate and MT. Hill in the House have introduced bills to such effect. It Is not new method of tariff revision. As far back as the 52d Congress. says Mir. Clark. Chair man Springer introduced separate bills for separate schedules and even for particular items. which were derisively denominated 'Springer's pop-gun bills by ribald Republican speakers and writers, and several years before Judge Springer was chairman of the committee on Ways and Means. MT. Mckenzie of Kentucky achieved both great renown ars the sobriouet of ~Cluinine Jlm' by securing the passage of a bill putting aunine on the free list, and touching no other item what soever in any tariff schedule

A GROTESQUELY
 RIDICULOUS ARGUMENT

Tn an argument on Friday before the Railroad Securities Commission, recently appointed by President Taft, a legal representative of J. P. Morgan & Go. declared that capitalization had no effect upon rates and that the theory of overcapitalization causing high rates is ridiculous. To the aver age man. the argument embodies the most grotesuuely ridiculous proposition ever presented to a supposedly gullible people.
 If dividends upon capitalization are not paid from the proceeds of rates, whence do they come? Have the rail- roads other resources from which to draw the money to pay dividends and interest on bonds? Are not the divi- dend percentages based upon. the amount of capitalization and the pro- ceeds from rates? If the capitaliza- ton is over-large. must not rates be approximately increased? Is any one credulous enough to be- lieve that rates are exclusively devoted to the payment of running expenses? :? If there is over-capitalization, must not rates be high enough to pay divi- dends on the wind and water as we'll as upon the capital actually in- vested? If such were not the fact. would not the market values of the shares dwindle heavily?
 There may be a question as to what constitutes real capitalization. whether it shall be the actual cost at the time of construction. or the present actual valuation of the properties. Some contend that the amount should be fixed at the estimated cost of construc tion at the present time. with the pres ent market value of properties. equip 1nent, etc. acquired since the date of construction added thereto.
 If the argument that capitalization does not affect rates. is true. it does not matter what method of valuation be adopted. But such is not the fact. Rates are based upon the cost of the service and the demands for dividends and interest on bonds. and the amount of the latter is determined by the cap- ital;zation And the total revenue to be used for these purposes can only be obtained from rates.

aries should not be actually estab- iishel till approved by both those boards.
 My suggestion is that the Taxpay- CTS League change their amendment by inserting a provision that such approval shall be given to the new salary list and by also asking the legislature to have this. and all the other charter amendments which have been proposed, accepted. by the qualified voters of the city before becoming laws.
 I shall await with much interest a statement from some officer of the League upon this propos tion. Until 1t is made I shall be, in doubt as to the motives of the League and some of the worthy former office holders and and one-time politicians who endorse it so fully.

1T tell thee. Jack Cade. the clothier, means to dress the commonwealth, and turn it. and set a new nap upon it''
 We dislike to liken the Executive committee of the Taxpayers League to Jack Cade" who. according to tradi- tion. was not only a clothier but also a highwayman of repute but facts cannot be shunted aside by sentiment. The committee evidently purposes to dress the city, turn it and set a new nap upon it." It is for the citi- zens to say whether they favor the process, though there is no certainty that they will not be compelled to sub init. The General Assembly is an un- certain but not a negligible quantity. In the past. it has had an unfortunate habit of granting the requests of un- authorized individuals or bodies for changes in this city's charter, and of denying the referendum thereupon. It may do so in this case.

Senator Young of Iowa smashed Senate custom the other day when, although but ten days member of that body. he delivered a lengthy speech.

SEATTLE, Sept. %. = The new gold
section around Valdez seems to be
proving up rather remarkably. The
discoveries are at least sufficiently inn
p~ortant to have created genuine excite
ment in Valdez, where, moreover, the
population is largely of men who have
been miners. 1t is odd that the pres
ent discoveries are being made in a
neighborhood that was passed over by
thousands of gold seekers in the mad
rush for the interior gold fields a few
years ago.
While she veins of the district are
generally small, being q~uartz-hlled ifs
sures in a slate formation, they are
proving of higher and higher grade as
exploration continues. So far most of
the ore is free-milling; making the
district an ideal one for men of small
capital.

yielding about $1,000 a day all sum-
mer with a three-ssamp mill, continues

AUSTIN, Sept. 2U.-Ine jack Pot
shaft was put down 25 feet af disionn
in the first ten days of sinking. Thr
means that the shaft is now 80 feet
below the 200-foot level. The main
hosting compartment of this shaft VIII
now be bulkheaded with two substan-
tial bulkheads, below the 200-foot lever
as well as from the shaft. This Will be
effected by using an auxiliary hoist us
inc buckets from the bottom of the
shaft to the 200-foot level where it Will
be dumped directly into the skip and
hoisted to the surface. While this
method of procedure will expedite the
work in the bottom of the shaft, the
main object in closing up the nam
hoistipg compartment is to make 1T alb
solutely safe for the miners working
in the bottom of the shaft, at the same
time allow the work of stopping ore
from the 2O0-foot level, when the mill
starts up. During the interim the
drifts on the 200 level will be adj
vanced and upraises put up In the ore
bodies and chutes built preparatory to
starting floors from which to Slope.
The auxiliary hoist is a double cyl
inder, single reel steam actuated en-
CINE and is connected up so that 1T may
be also run by compressed air, as also
the steam pump which is on the 100
foot level. Meanwhile a 6O-h. p.
boiler is being installed, so that should
ANYTHING occur to the gasoline engine
that il would be thrown out of com
mission, steam may be used to Operate
both the hoist and the pump on the
20O-foot level. Thus either steam on
air can be used to a~ctuate these by
simply opening and closing two sets OF
valves. Another advantage of this u
system is that should anything occur
to put the gasoline engine out OF
commission, the two hoists are so plac
ed in line that the rope of the steam
hoist can be passed over the sheave o.

One of these, the Oregon, is but three
miles from town and has just shipped a
1000 pound lot for a test. Dan Kain's
R%oughneck lode, further up Mineral
Creek, shows five feet of solid quartz,
on which assays are reported to give
good milling values.
Around the head of Mineral Creek
there have been a number of small dis
coveries of evident richness, ore sam
plies showing much visible free gold.
The veins run from eighteen inches to
thirty inches in width. One vein in
this locality carries considerable galena
besides the free gold.
These are but a few of numerous ex-
~cellent prospects found in the district.
Development is just commencing, but
the showings already made are consid-

small mills, such as that on the Cliff
and these will follow with the opening

for the entire length of the hoist by
changing the b~ulkheads from one com
partment to the other of the shaft. The
pallows frame of the Jack Pot is so feet
in height, thus enabling the skip to
dump it's contents automatically wheth-
err it be filed with ore or waste. The
time required to hoist a load from the
2O0-foot level, dump it and return the
empty skip to that point is just n
and one-half minutes, the skip loaded
travelling at the rate of 1000 feet per
minute.
The whole plant, machinery, gallows

the management TO do some far reach

now in $50 feet towards the Silver
Chamber vein ,one of the famous veins
of the camp, and other veins which are
