Is More Attentive to Hogs.

Kansas City, Nov. 16.-It was Gov
ernors' day at the Transmississippi
Commercial congress, three state ex-
ecutives-Harmon of Ohio, Aldrich of
Nebraska and Stubbs of Kansas-ad
dressing the delegates In addition.
United States Senator Robert l.. Owen
of Oklahoma delivered an eloquent
plea for the conservation of the ma.
tional health and the establishment of
government health bureau.
"The United States loses annually
from preventable causes over 100000
people-men. women and children,
declared the senator
so far as securing aid from the
government is concerned Senator
Owen said he would rather be a fas
hog suffering from the cholera than
a mother of large family in the first
stages of disease, for il the govern
ment was notified by the owner of the
hog 1t would hasten immediate aid In
the form of bottle of serum. while II
the mother asked for aid she would
receive none, for there Is no govern
ment bureau to help her.
There is something radically wrong
with a country that has bureau con
serving animal life and plant life and
no department adequately conserving
human life." continued the senator.
Senator Owen closed with plea for
support for Senate bill No. l. Great
ing a national department OF health. :

INTERVENTION NOT DESIRED
Both Factions In China Oppose Land
ing of American Troops.

Peking, Nov 16.-American inter
vention i'm China, as threatened by
hurried military movements in the
Philippines, unquestionably would
cause grave trouble In China, It is said
here.
Neither the imperial government nor
the rebels are expected to submit will
ingly to the landing of American sol
diers
According TO cablegrams from Wash
ington the American government is
holding troops and transports In read
mess in the Philippines to dispatch
10000 regulars to China. To prevent
just such an occurrence the imperial
troops and the rebels have been most
scrupulous in regarding the rights
lives and property of foreigners. Both
sides realize that every time foreign
troops land in China a slice of Chinese
land is carved off for the power that
sends soldiers.

INVESTIGATING
TRUST PROBLEM
Senate Committee Begins
Probe at Washington.
FEW WITNESSES APPEAR

No Word Received From Morgan, Gary
and Others Who Had Been Request
ed to Be on Hand and Discuss Trust
eeislation-Senstor Newlands of
Nevada the Only Witness at Open
ing Session.
Washington. Eov. 16--The investi-
cation of the trust problem by the
senate committee on interstate COM
merce began without definite com.
of procedure on the part of the com
mittee. Senator Newlands of Nevada
was the only witness lie asked the
committee to recommend as a tenta
tive measure the passage of his fed.
eral incorporation law, leaving the
changes in the Sherman antitrust law
to be made after the committees s hear
ings are concluded
Senator Clapp, chairman of the COM
mittee, has received no word from j.
p. Morgan or f. FL Gary as to their
probable appearance before the com.
mittee to discuss trust legislation
George w Perkins. Professor jerks
of Cornell university, Samuel Gompers
and others have informed the chair
man that they will be present at some
time during the hearings
The committee is authorized to
enter upon the broadcast scope of in
quiry, covering the entire subject OF
interstate commerce. The authorize
ton had its inception largely in the
supreme courts decision in the Stand
ard OIL case, which had the effect of
reading the word reasonable" into
the antitrust law. The idea was that
the meaning of the law should be set
forth clearly in the statute itself and
not left dependent upon interpreta-
tions by the court.
There are many bills before the
committee and il is understood others
will be presented, so 1t may be ex-
pected that the entire range of legis-
lation will be covered.
OF the members of the committee
Senators Clapp, Cullom, Cummins,
Brandegee. Oliver, Newlands, Watson
and Pomerene are here.

HIGH-GRADE MILL
NOV INSTALLED
REDUCING TO BULLION ORE
WORTH FROM 81 TO 5000
A POUND.

The high-grade mill for the re-
duction of the rich ore that Is be-
ing extracted at the Adamson-Tur-
ner property has been installed at
the Winnemucca assay office under
the supervision of the metallurgist
and manager, l.. ID. Hubbard.
The mill is of the pan-arrastra
type and nothing but the very high
grade ore from the property will be
handled by this plant. The ore
is first put through two small crush
ers prior to being run through the
pan arrastra, where the amasama-
ton takes place. After this process
the amalgam is retorted and re-
duced to bullion. The crushing,
milling and retorting is all done
in separate afr-tight room and iso-
lated from the regular assaying de-
partment, and none of the machin-
cry used in the mill is used in the
assay office for any other purpose
The mill was started yesterday
afternoon on the first lot of ore
from the wonderful property on
Winnemucca mountain. This ore is
an exceptional sight, for the rock
is fairly alive with gold. This lot
Of ore is perhaps the richest yet
brought TO town, and is a beau
tiful sight to behold, as many places
show streaks of almost solid gold
from an inch to three inches in
thickness.
With this ore there is a so-called
mud that is SO impregnated with
the yellow metal that a handful
Of it feels as heavy as a chunk OF
lead. This character OF ore is be-
ing taken out each day at this won
derful property together with large
tonnage Of lower grade ore that
will be milled later. The little
mill just now operating at the as
say Office viii handle no ore thai

According to an item in the Reno
Journal of yesterdays date the Bel
mont disaster of February 23rd has
an echo that has reached from Ton
opah to Austria-Hungary back to
Washington, thence to San Fran
cisco and Carson and from Carson
to Tonopah and return. The story
has it that considerable further in
ternatiOnal troubles and complica-
tions will be forthcoming before
the matter is finally settled.
The entire trouble arises ont of
the fact that the consul for Aus
tria-Hungary, located in San Fran
cisco, ordered from Judge H. H. At
kinson a copy of the transcript OF
the evidence taken at the inquest
| following the disaster After con-

Commenting on the matter today,
Judge Atkinson, acting coroner of
Nye county, said:
The transcript consisted of $3.50
folios and in the neighborhood of
1000 typewritten pages, the regular
charge for the latter being 20 cents
page, where a single copy is Or
dered; however, the copy was for
warded to the consul and charged at
price of 13 cents a page-a price
as low or lower than the prices
charged for the same class of work
by public stenographers in San
Francisco.
81 have investigated the Bay City
prices and find that the charge is
graduated by the stenographers for
this class of work; the charge be-
ing IL cents a page where three
copies of a transcript are ordered,
Is cents where two copies are Or
dered and 20 cents where only a
single copy is ordered.
THE consul, Immediately follow
ing the accident ordered a copy of
the transcript to be forwarded to
him as soon as the inquest was
concluded. The order came by wire
and was followed with a letter OF
confirmation. | advised him that
the copy would be forthcoming al
the earliest possible date. How
had finished the transcription o
the evidence deduced at the inques
received a telegram from the at
torney, for the consul which wa
anything but courteous, demand
ing a copy of the transcript am
stating that he understood that

Several other copies were OF
dered at the same time and deliN
cred, the same price being charge
and willingly paid. No prote!
whatsoever was made against tn
charge, which is most reasonab
considering the amount of wor
, performed by the court stenogr;
pher. The matter of deliyerin
the copy G.. o. D. is simply I'll
following of customary practic
where no deposit is made with Il

The fact that the Belmont con
pany is making settlement as RAJ
