KEYSTONE IS SHUT DOWN
Mt. Grant Property Lays OH
the Men.

The was some surprise and a great
deal OF regret this week when the
miners who had been employed at the
keystone mine in the Mt Grant dist
rict. arrived in town with the inforua-
ton that the property had been shut
down
No information was vouchsafed them
as to how long the shutdown would last,
but il is stated that the Boston parties
who recently bought the mine would
arrive within few days when plans for
the future will be determined, In the
meantime. work has not only stopped
at the mine, but machinery and other
supplies for the mill which were IN
transit. have been held up pending the
arrival of the owners.
The keystone was sold last April to
Boston people and Dan Abrams of Chi
cago, the deal being made by Dan Ed
wards of Reno. Those who knew the
property believed il had the making OF
good little mine"
However. it was heralded by a Reno
paper and others AS a big property,
and improvements were planned on a
scale justified only by a big proven
mine superintendent was engaged
at a salary OF 5000 a year and expenses,
and nine room house was built at the
mine for him. A large assay office,
boarding and bunk houses were built, III
addition to starting a 40-ton mill. The
foundations, etc, for this mill have
been finished and a part of the machin-
cry was on the ground and portion
was in transit when the order came to
shut down.
The story is current that the assayei
who was recently installed, completed
series of tests of the ore and that tht
results were far from satisfactory
ore" as a prominent operator OF Gold
field once put it, or whether the claimed
values were never there, is not know
at this time.
But one thing is sure. The Keystone
was examined about year ago by on
mining man whose ability and honest,
is above suspicion. II his report a
far as il VENTS not verified, she'
there is something wrong.
The Mt Grant district, is is believed
will make good as a low grade camp
1t has number of properties, the show
ing OH which justiiies this belief, 1t
to be hoped the setback is only ten
porary.

But Senator EIkinS BaIkS
Him

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON. May Ex-senator La
Toilette introduced a resolution in the
Senate to-day reciting that the uni
form advance in freight rates effective
tomorrow was evidence of a combina-
tion in restraint of trade, and calling
upon the attorney general to prevent
the enforcement of tho increase.
Senator Elltins tRepublican. w. Va.)
objected to immediate consideration of
the resolution saying it would require
too much debate.
ut will not entail more debate now
than when offered as an amendment
to the pending bill" hotly replied La
Toilette
La Toilette insisted on Offering an
amendment to the railroad bill, but
Elkins objected and La Toilette de-
clared nothing would be gained by such
tactics
The chair held with ElSins. who
moved to take up the railroad bill and
then yielded to Senator owen, who had
given notice of a speech.
La Toilette protested but in vain.
His face became flushed and it be-
came evident that his fighting blood
was up.
La Follette's resolution in full fol-
lows:
whereas: The railroads in official elias
sidcations territory have announced that
they will make effective at an early date
general advance in all class and com
modify rates and have recently advanced
certain rates from TO more than 60 per
cent and have filed tariffs with the In

effective after June 1, advancing certain
other rates from to more than 80 per-
cent, and
whereas: Shippers associations in vari-
Gus parts OF tile country after investga-
ton have protested against such advances
upon the ground that the same are I'M
reasonable and
whereas: The fact that such increases

joining such advances as have been flee
with the Interstate Comerce Commission
