RAILROADS EXPEND
MILLIONS ON WORK
improvements of Hartman Sys-
tenn and the S. P. in North
west Cost $5O,000,000

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. 26.-EXpendl-
lures of the Hartman system in the
northwest, including the Southern Pa
cific lines in oregon and all the roads
now part of the oregon, Washington
Railroad & Navigation company
amount to $500OO,0 900 in betterments,
improvements and additions, besides
it's fixed charges, operating expenses
and payrolls, which aggregate ike
amount since July l. 1906.
OF this sum $16, 600 was spent on
new construction in Oregon, $1OOOO'OUg
for construction in Washington and
Idaho, and $S,00O000 in betterments dis
tributed over the entire system. These
three items do not include any work
on the Oregon & Washington line be
tween Portland and Puget sound, whicf
was given a valuation of $l5,OOOOOl
when the merger was completed lasl
week. Additional expenditures not Gov
cred in either of these classes place
the total figure in excess of the $oO,OOO,-
0000 mark.
When it is considered that this re-
fleets an outlay of virtually $lOOO,OCO
a month. it is easier to realize the
amount of money tnat has been dis
tributed through the states of Oregon,
Washington and Idaho by this railroad
system in the last fifty-four months

CRUDE CONSUMPTION ON
STEAM ROADS INCREASES

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-The use of
oil as fuel on railroads of the United
States greatly increased last year and
the results of its introduction into the
United States navy have fully met eX-
pectations. Steamship companies also
are equipping their vessels with oil
burners.
In the navy two battleships-the
North Dakota and the Delaware were
thus equipped and four battleships
now in course of construction will burn
oil as auxiliary to coal. Fifteen de-
stroyers also will be thus equipped.
The total production in 1909 was 1872
1924 barrels, as compared with 49,
52S, 1855 barrels in 1908.
The value of the 1909 production was
$12S, ,243, 1885, While that of 1908 was val
ued at 1929, ,079, ,1S4.
California, oklahoma and West Vir-
ginia added greatly to the increase in
production. California gained 21.35 per
cent. oklahoma 4.5 per cent, while
West Virginia increased u SO per cent.
Utah and Wyoming produced only
22,137 barrels.

CHARIOT MINE NEAR
JULIAN WILL RESUME

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 26.-George and
Clarence King have made arrange
ments whereby they will be able about
the first of the year to reopen the
Chariot mine south of Julian. 1t is
their intention to place about dozen
men at work before the first month of
the new year is many days old. Their
initial efforts will be directed to sink
ing a new shaft upon the old workings
have been reached. Then the levels
will be cleaned and the taking out of
ore begun. 1t is said the King boys
have the backing of sufficient San
Francisco capital to permit of their
reopening this old mine.
1t has been thirty-three years since
the Chariot has been worked. In its
time it was considered the greatest
mine in the state, and it's stock was
daily listed upon the San Francisco
mining exchange. Hundreds of thou
sands of dollars have been taken out
of the workings, which in these thirty
three years have either been badly
caved or filled with water.

GINNITY BLACK BUTTE
CROSSCUTS NEW LEDGE

GOLDFIELD. New, Dec. 26.-The
crosscut on the Ginnity lease on the
300 level of the main shaft of the Black
Butte has encountered the ledge for
which it was driven and encouraging
values have been opened. 1t is not pay
ore yet, but systematic development
will probably bring much better re-
suits.
Negotiations have about been con-
cluded between the Belmont and the
Black Butte companies for permission
for the Belmont to use one of the Black
Butte shafts, located near the dividing
line of. the two properties. 1t is under
stood that the Belmont company is
preparing for extensive work on that
portion OF the property where it is re-
ported that good ore is known to exist.
The Goldfeld Belmont is controlled
by the Tonopah Belmont people, which
assures that liberal funds can be pro-
vided for development whenever de-
sired. Should the Belmont company
begin active work, it will doubtless re-
suit In opening new producing prop
osition in the Diamondfield section.

prospects of making paying mines out
of their newly acquired prospects.
In future all crude oil to be used by
the Cananea Consolidated Copper COM
pany as fuel will enter Mexico at thls
port of entry instead Of at Naco, where
it has been crossed in the past. FROM
Nogales it will be sent to the great
copper camp over the Nogales Cananea
branch of the Southern Pacific. me

MEXICAN DISTURBANCES
RETARD DEVELOPMENT

TUCSON, Ariz., Dec. 26.-The officers
of the Rio Plata Mining company have
received information to the effect that
the insurreCtion in MeXiXco has inter
fered with the operation of the mine
and with the shipping of its product.
The state of Chihuahua, in the western
part of which the mine is situated, was
for a while the center of disturbances,
and the difficulties of mining were fur
ther complicated by the fact that one
of the subordinate officials of the COM
pany quit work to join the revolution
aries.
Though it is eighty-fve miles from
the terminus of the Kansas City, Mex
leo and Orient Railway the "StilWell
Line'D, the mining company has to de-
pend upon that road to ship its silver
most of the way to the market While
the insurrection was in progress here
the railway was unable to move the
freight offered. The scene of war has
shifted now, and it is understood that
trains are again moving regularly.
The production of the Rio Plata i'm
November amounted to 69372 ounces of
silver from II to 10 per cent less than
that for the previous month.

CHANGES SURVEY

YUMA, Ariz., Dec. 26-Surveyors of
the San Diego and Arizona railroad
have been at work recently on the west
side of the valley changing the loca-
tion line from the mountains to the
west side canal TO avoid some broken
ground. The new line runs south from
Coyote Wells and strikes the canal
about mile south of the bridge in
stead of mile north and thence runs
northeasterly to the crossing of New
river. This is probably the final To-
cation. The surveyors began work on
tentative line from the mountains to
CaleXico but abandoned the survey
after a day and half of work because
of the impracticable nature Of the

Future Legislation.

LONDON, Jan. 21.-Returns from the
thirty-five constituencies which were
polled for members of Parliament yes
terday, but the results from which
were not known until today. are now
complete, and the seats are proper
toned as follows:
Unionists, IS; Liberals, 13; Labor, .,
and Nationalist, >.
This is a Unionist gain of nine seats
without q single loss. At the dissolu-
tion oil the last Parliament the same
constituencies were represented by
tw%enty-one Liberals, nine Unionists,
three Laborites and two Nationalists.
The known standing Of the parties
this afternoon is:
Government coalition-Liberals. $50;
Irish Nationalist. So; Laborites. 81.
observation-disclosures. 1871.
Thus the Unionists have already OBJ
tanned thirteen more seats than they
had at the time the last Parliament
was dissolved and more than one-third
of the members for the new Parliament
are still to be elected.
The results learned today further
augment the possibility that the gov
ernnhnt will be dependent absolutely
upon the Irish-Nationalists' vote to
carry any legislation which it ma pro-
pose.

dropped unconscious. Comrades dragge ]
them out and revived them.
Five men working in the building
