DIRECTORATE
OF MINING CONGRESS
NUMBER INCREASED FROM NINE
TO THIRTEEN MEMBERS-WILL
OPPOSE LEASING OF LANDS
FROM GOVERNMENT.

At the special meeting of the mem
bers of the American Mining congress
held in Salt Lake the past week, the
proposed amendments 10 the constitu-
ton were carried so that henceforth
the congress will be governed by 13
directors instead of nine. five consti-
tuting a quorum. These will be elect
ed at the annual meeting of the mem
bers. Regulations regarding the es-
adjustment and government of state
chapters we're included in these
amendments. b. Il. Bush of Balti-
more, DR.. James f. Douglas of New
York aud Col. George W. E. Dorsey
of Salt Lake City were named as
three of the new directors. the fourth
to be elected by the executive COM
mittee.
J.. +. Callbreath, secretary of the
organization says that the policy of
conservation as presented in bills be-
fore the federal congress. does not
meet with favor among the members
of the mining congress. These bills
provide for a system of leasing gov
eminent land so that the revenue
goes to the national government. II
leasing Is to be established he said
that il would be far better under
state control for then the state would
benefit from the income of its own
resources. very little of which under
the proposed legislation would find
its way back To the states from which
II came. Under the present system
the west has been developed and un-
less there is some very important
reason why the federal governments
should adopt this system he does not
see wherein the country wonlo
benefit.
l.. ID. Malone. editor of the Min
ing and Timber Journal of Portland
Oregon Is attending the meeting and
comes with a protest from Oregon
against this system, as he said hat IL
would restrict three-fourths of the
mining enterprises of that state
which are developing wonderfully.
The Oregon State Mining associa-
ton and the Oregon chapter of the
mining congress are both opposed to
the proposed system.

PULLMAN RATES REDUCED.

Announcement was made yester-
day from the Pullman company Of
fees that arrangements have beer
completed for the application next
Wednesday of their new rate rules,
which include a reduction of 20 pei
cent in practically all upper berth
rates and a cut ranging from %
cents to 81 on oliver berths.
The new tariffs, which have been
filed with the interstate commerce
commission, provide that where the
lower berth rate is $3.50, the rate foI
the upper berth shall be SIPS, and
where the lower berth rate is more
than $3.50, the upper berth rate will
be 20 per cent less.
A new feature of the rate scheme
is the establishment of an interme-
diate lower berth rate. Heretofore q
rate of $3.50 has been collected foi
a certain time and distance and the
next higher rate amounted to 80
cents more. In the revised tariff
rates, $1.75, $2.25. etc., have been
put in wehrever il was necessary &c
bring about an equalization of the
lower berth rates.
New tourist sleeping car rates also
have been filed. There is no change
in rates for lower berths in these
tariffs, but in the amtter of upper
berths there is a cut of 20 per cent,
with a minimum upper berth rate OF
$1,00.

W|CKEOEST CITY
is IN S|BER|A
FAR EASTERN CAPITAL LEADS
IN ALL FORMS OF VICE Is
VERDICT OF PROMINENT AM
ERICAN TRAVELLER.

George Woodruff, an American
banker who recently went TO China
to investigate the railroads there in
connection with a new loan, spent
two weeks in Irkutsk last October,
says an eastern paper. AS he had
letters to the mayor, he had an ex-
eellent opportunity to see life in that
Paris of the wilderness. Mr.. Wood
ruff is a globe trotter of o He
is familiar with Paris, London, Bud
apest, Vienna, New York and other
capitals, but he declares that for
genuine w~iekedness that they are out
classed by Irkutsk.
"Irkutsk is not only the wickedess
but 1t is the fastest city in the
world" said Woodruff soon after his
return to New York. There is more
night life in hat little town of 1000
people than in all Paris or New York.
In n of the gambling houses there,
] saw as much as $100,0 600 staked on
the turn of a card a dozen times in
an evening.
In the cafe l saw gay parties
drinking bottle after bottle of wine
at $4,000 per bottle. In al my trav-
els ] have never seen so many beau
tiful and well dressed women-and
women of all nationalities.
The opera there is almost as bril-
liant as the opera in Paris. Duels,
suicides, murders are of weekly oe-
cnrrenee. but a formal reception at
st. Petersburg could not boast of any
more culture than is to be found at
a smart entertainment in one of the
fashionable homes in this Siberian
city. If any one imagines New York
is swift. a visit to lrkutsk will open
his eyes. The quintessence of vice is
to be found there"
Irkutsk is the capital of eastern
Siberia. 1t has wide streets lined
with fine buildings.
Irkntsk has among its citizens
more m~illionaires than any city of its
size in the world, and they have to
spend their money in that city for
the reason that they are not allowed
TO leave the province. Most of them
especially the rich ones, are convicts
or the descendants of conyiets who
have amassed fortunes in gold min
ing. The Balkan mountains. near
Irkutsk, are filled with rich veins of
gold and il is no ~exageration to say
that thousands of men in this COM
paratively small aown in the heart OF
Siberia have become rich beyond the
dreams of avarice. The flood of gold
has naturally attracted all the lux
uries of the world, and, as usual, the
Injuries have brought vices.
There is nothing secret about any
of the vices. Every type Of beauty
is TO be found-beautiful geisha girls
in native costume vieing with Wen
nese and Partisan women in the lat
est creations. All the gambling
houses are wide open, and more i'm
portant conducted under police pro-
lection. The cafes never close and
ii is between the hours of midnight
and four in the morning that they're
at their liyeliest. Every one drinks:
most of the Russian women smoke
cigars. leaving their Partisan sisters
to enjoy the cigarette.

Tor building roads none has been
built; and now they have dropped
upon the fact that there is a limita-
ton to human life, and If they are
to realize anything from their mines
they must begin TO do IL soon. There
are vast amounts of ore already min
d in that region. If a cheap rail-
road were to be run out there, 1t
would pay for itself within a year,
and men would wonder why the mis-
chief they had not built the road
twenty years ago. Now they can
have their choice. If a real railroad
cannot be built, then a traction wag-
on road will be, and ii will either
come east to a connection with the
Western Pacific or it will go west
to a connection at Curry with the
Nevada Northern. We would like to
see it come this way. but we have
got through urging any company or
any community TO build a road this
way, because it looks as though it
was fate that 1t never should be
built. People do not know what is
waiting out there. We had the honor
of trying twenty years ago TO get a
few gentlemen here to put up a little
of their surplus money and start that
road. If they had, they would have
owned the road today from here 10
Tonopah; they would each have had
more money that they had made out
of it than they have got now, al
though some of them are very rich,
and they would have had a railroad
that they could have unloaded on
any railroad corporation for $40 900
per mile. The petition of the miners
out there for traction wagon road TO
a connection with the railroad is one
which 1t will not require much to
grant. But the position of these min
ers reminds us of a great horse that

Two-thirds of the lumber that is
estimated to be cut at Duluth this
season is sold to go forward. Much
of the sold lumber already is cut, but
the buyers do not seem very anxious
to move the stock. The manufacturers,
in some cases, are mildly urging that
the sold lumber be moved promptly,
as they need the space to pile the new
lumber. The cut for the year 1911 is
estimated to be 100000 feet, and if
two-thirds of it is sold, as is esti-
mated by leading lumber broker, the
amount is 160,000,000 feet. This is a
larger amount than was expected by
any who are interested in the trade.
