Progress on the Elkhart

W w. Petty came in from the
Eikhart mine Monday evening
and brings IA very encouraging re-
port concerning the work now
being done on that mine. Mr..
Petty said: "The work of devel-
opment on the Elkhart now shows
up as follows: a shaft 80 feet in
depth a cross cut to the vein of
80 in length, and II drift on the
vein of 100 feet. The vein is from
3 to 9 feet in width, as demon
strated by the drift. The ore
shows copper in the carbonization
stage stage at present, but the
condition of the vein at the pres
ent proves to me conclusively that
we have copper in the Elkhart
second to none in the country
The development work is very
satisfactory and we could not have
a more encouraging condition thar
at the present time"
The Sun learns that it is the
intention of the Walcott Copper
Mining Company to sink anothe
shaft that will strike tn,
lead at a point where the ore will
be of a sulphide character. MI
Summons, the president of tn
company, says that they are alb
solutely confident now of striking
a rich body of sulphides in tn
new shaft and that the future c
the Elkhart is assured.

Rate on Meats
to East Attacked
Cedar Rapids Packer Alleges Dis
elimination in Favor Of
Chicago.

WASHINGTON, Aug. ls-Freight rates
on fresh and cured meats from Cedar Rap
ids, Ia, to points In the east, especially sea
board points, are attacked in a complaint
filed today with the Interstate Commerce
commission by T. NJ. Sinclair & Co. of
Cedar Rapids against the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul railway and many
other carriers operating east OF Chicago.
The Cedar Rapids firm alleges that It is
Disseminated against by the road In favor
of Chicago meat packers; that the rates on
live stock from Iowa points to Chicago are
such as to attract the stock to Chicago to
the detriment of the complainant; and that,
therefore, the complainant IS unable sue
cessfuly to compete with the Chicago pack
ers In the eastern markets.
Through routes and Joint freight rates
between points east OF the Indiana state
line and interior towns and cities OF Iowa
are requested in a complaint filed today by
the state of Iowa through its attorney. gen.
eral, II. w. Byers with the Interstate
Commerce commission.
The complaint is directed against the
Pennsylvania Railroad company and many
other lines operating in classification terri
tory. 1t is alleged that the present basis
of rates is unfair and unjust to the people
of interior Iowa, as they are not afforded
the advantage Of through routes and joint
rates from eastern points of origin to
points Of destination.

SUIT AGAINST LOAN AGENTS
Richard Mosley CLAIMS He Was Dealt
with Unfairly and Then
Assaulted.

In a damage suit for $1,000 in county
court, David Mosley, an employee of the
owl drug store, charges that he was first
victimized and later assaulted by Charles
c. Burdge, a loan agent in the Board or
Trade building.
Mosley states that on May he applied
to Burdge for loan OF $25 He claims he
was forced to sign a promissory note for
$3.50, due in ninety days at 10 per cent
and also give an assignment upon his
wages. Before making final payment he
learned that the interest charged was
usurious and Illegal and that he could not
be forced to pay it. On August It, ne
says. he went to th4 office of Burdge pre-
pared to make a final settlement at the
legal rate OF per cent.
When he informed Burdge that he would
not pay interest at 10 per cent, according &c
his petition, Burdge armed himself with 8
pair OF heavy "knucks," or some heavy
weapon. and when a companion attracted
Mosley's attention he struck him heavily
on the head, knocking him to the floor.

his election. In a letter to c. w. Bryan,
in which he assumed that Mr., Hitchcock

Governor Shallenberger be defeated for the
democratic nomination win he run as
populist, having secured that nomination
without opposition?
That is a question that has been asked
around the state house many times today
but owing TO the absence OF his excelency
there can be no answer secured here. Some
insist that he should make the race as a
populist These figure that II he runs as a
populist 1t win elect the republican nominee
but at the same time friends OF Dahlman
hope Shallenberger will make the race as
a pop, for they figure that he will get the
dry democratic vote. a portion OF the pop
vote and many disgruntled democrats
which otherwise would go 10 the republican
candidate.
Governor Shalenberger's office force still
claims his nomination by from 500 TO 500

SpaniardS Are
Learning About
Yachting Game
Visitors Say They Are Satisfied, Even
if Their Experience is
Losing One.

MARBLEHEAD, Mass, Aug. 19.-Amer-
lea again defeated Spain today in the Son
der yacht races off this port, the three
American boats leading their foreign rivals
at the finish. Rhe Harpoon, which took
the first race of the series yesterday, car
ried off the honors today, with the Gina
close second and the Beaver third. The
Spanish yacht Chonta, at one time during
the race led the entire fleet. 1t not only
pushed the American boats hard, but as
tonlshed its rivals by maintaining its
place, principally In the use of its balloon
jib in beating to windward. This departure
from yachting precedent set the American
yachtsmen to scratching their heads over
what may prove to be a valuable inno-
walton.
The elapsed time of today's races follows:
Harpoon (American), 2:25:33.
Gina (American), 2:26:39.
= Beaver (American), 2:27:0S.
Chonta (Spantsh), 2:2SO9
Papoose (Spanish), 2:35 4
Mosquito II. (Spanish), 2:4610.
I'VE are learning a lot about racing even
IL we are not winning prizes" said one of
the Spanish yachtsmen as he bowed his
way down the club house float today and
started off for the second race with his
American antagonists,
AltuOuBH all tIle spanish yaCntSInen were
hopeful that their boats might draw nearer
the three American yachts before the races
were over and perhaps win a cup or two,
even the most sanguine OF them were
forced to admit that their chances Of win
ming the President Taft and Governor
Draper cups were very slight.
All the Spaniards expressed keen regret
on learning yesterday that the Harpoor
had lost the initial race of the series
through an unintentional foul of the fifth
mark and 1t has transpired that although
the Chorfta of the Spanish fleet led the
other two boats in their chase after the
Americans yesterday, 1t was badly handi.
