Good Producers.

Lordsburg, n. NJ, July 19.-About
140 miles west of Ell Paso, over the
Southern Pacific railroad in western
Grant county, New Mexico is the
Lordsburg mining district, which has
attracted considerable attention from
investors of late. Several deals have
been contaminated which will result
in opening number of properties in
the outlying country in the near fu-
ture. The country embraced in the
Virginia, Pyramid and Leidendorff
mining districts lies at the north end
of the Pyramid range and is broken
by small hills rising abruptly from
the level of the outlying hills and
sharp lodges which are thrust up from
the level of the desert. 10 the Vir-
ginia district the country rock is
largely diorite porphyry, while further
east and south andesite is prevalent.
The ores to the north are copper.
largely chalcopyrite and bornite,
though carrying gold and silver values.
and in the mines to the south side
chloride.
The Largest Mine.
The "Eighty-Five7 is the Largest
mine in point of production and the
number of men employed in this Sec
ton, being three and a half miles
southwest of Lordsburg in the Vir-
ginia district, just beyond the old
camp of Shakespear. One of its old
time owners was Ralston president of
the Bank Of California in the '70s,
and for years these claims were called
the Ralston mines. The present own
ing company employs about 100 men
and ships about 1000 tons of ore

l7-YEAR LOCUSTS HERE
State Game Warden Declares He
Has Found the Pests Near
Little Rock.

Little Rock, May 3f.-The seven
teen-year locusts are here, accord
ing to State Game Warden X. ".
Visart. Mr.. Visart stated last even
ing that he had found millions of
the insects in the bottom land of
Rock creek and Fourche bayou. He
said that the logs and sticks and the
ground in some places is complete
ly covered by them. According to
Mr.. visart the cidada are about an
inch long.
Just how much damage will re-
suit from the visit of the insects
cannot be determined, according to
those who have seen a number Of
visits. A number Of years ago, it is
said, they greatly damaged the fruit
trees, but since then they have been
seen in large numbers in this coun-
try, but no damage resulted.
The cicada are not locusts, al
though they resemble the locusts
which visit the Orient. In Western
Kansas, when they appear they are
listed as grasshoppers, but accord
ing to the authorities on the subject
they are of a family of their own,
and not related to either the locust
or the grasshopper.
Mr.. yisart said that he scraped
enough of them into old tin cans TO
feed his pen of pheasants for a day,
and could have gathered enough Of
them to fill a sack.

RUTHERFORD IS FREED
Hot Springs Jury Finds a Verdict OF
Not Guilty for Man Charged With
Murder of Oscar Chitwood.

Hot Springs, May 3i.-John Ruth
erford was at noon today acquitted
of the murder of the manacled
county prisoner, Oscar Chitwood, on
last Christmas, by jury in the cir
cult court, the verdict being rem
dercd just before the noon hour.
It is probable the case against
Ben Murray will be nolle pressed
since the state failed in its strong
est case, that against Rutherford.
Further trouble may result now
that Rutherford has been acquit-.
led. as the mountaineer friends OF
Chitwood are bitter against the
former deputies, and the Houpt
family who we're in office at the
time of the first shooting when
George Chitwood and Sheriff Jake
Houpt were killed, and in Office

STEEL TRUST'SHEAD
IS A FREE TALKER
Z. II. Gary, Chairman of Board of
Directors Admits u. s. Steel Cor
poration Absolutely Controls
All Subsidiary Companies.

Washington, June i.-Revealing
how the U. S. Steel corporation con-
trolls all of its subsidiary compa-
MES and practically the steel BUSH
ness of the entire country, L. H.
Gray, head of that corporation,
went on the stand before the in
vestigating committee today.
Chairman Stanley first ascer-
tanned from Gary that he was the
executive official, chairman of the
board of directors and finance COM
mittee of the U. S. Steel corpora
ton, and that, in addition, he was
also a director in the various sub
sidiary companies owned by the
Steel trust, Mr.. Gary was pressed to
explain who appoints the directors
of the nine subsidiary companies.
The stockholders name the di-
rectors," he replied, 'but if you ask
for an individual | suppose | am the
one who names the directors"
Mr.. Gary then admitted to the
committee that the steel corpora
ton is not an operating company;
that it manufactures no steel itself
but it absolutely dominates the sew
eral subsidiary companies that do
manufacture the product.
"The product of these correlated
anppponfac - cofH Mr. Gnpxy Hon0
turned into the treasury of the U.
S. Steel corporation and that cor
poration distributes the profits as it
sees fit."
Suppose two of the subsidiary
companies manufacture the same
product" asked Chairman Stanley,
does the parent company fix the
price for both of the manufacturing
companies?"
Mr., Gary admitted that the U. S.
Steel corporation fixed the price.
The committee also drew from
Mr.. Gary, who declared that he
wanted to be frank and truthful
with them, that but little discretion
is left to the individual companies,
but that the policy and administra-
ton of all of these companies are
controlled by the holding company,
the U. S. Steel corporation.
"Of course" said Mr.. Gary, those
smaller companies have their
boards of directors and offices, but
it goes without saying that if the
management was displeasing to the
u. S. Steel corporation that the di-
rectors would be displaced sooner
or later. 1t might not be done in a
day or month, but eventually il
would be done. The U. S. Steel cor
poration owns most of the stock OF
most of these companies and natur-
ally it would dictate the policy Of
them."

FAMOUS HANGMAN
II OFT. SMITH DEAD
George Maledon, Credited With SO
Executions in the Old Days of
Outlawry i'm the Territories
Inmate Soldiers Home.

Fort Smith, May 3i.-George NAL
edon, the old hangman of the Unit
ed States court here in the days
when the Indian and Oklahoma ter
ritories were the real thing and
wild and woolly, and outlaws were
made good by the gallows route,
died at the Soldiers Home in john
son City, Tenn, of which he had
been an inmate nearly six years. He
was paralyzed for four months be-
fore his death. He was 81 years
old.
Maledon was born in Bavaria and
came to this country in his youth.
He served in the United States army
and came to Fort Smith about 1859.
He had been a pressman and car
penter in his younger days and
found employment at the latter
trade until the United States court
was removed from Van Buren, TO
This city, when he was appointed a
guard, position he held for twenty
wears and until his health began tc
fail. About 1890 he was overcome
by the heat while working some
TRUSTEES about the jail yard and a
few months later he gave up his
position. He ran a store in this
city awhile and then moved to a
farm, later coming back to this city
and working in furniture factory
until he secured admission to the
Soldiers Home at Johnson City in
July, 1905.
George Maledon, during the time
he was a guard at the Jail, partici-
pated in all the executions that took
place there. Column after column
has been written about him in the
Eastern press and his work gave
rise to the book, Hell on the Bor-
der" in which Maledon is given
credit for executing SO men.
w. S. Harmon conceived the idea
of taking Maledon to picnics, etc.,
and having him display his ropes,
photos of men executed and giving
talk on his life.

OF Rockefeller and Carnegie and
of Labor of Thousands Required
to Produce Their Incomes.

Hartford, Conn.,, June John
d. Rockefeller by a crime, which
will be so labeled to all posterity,
has amassed a fortune TO himself
and his bookkeepers." was one Of
the statements of Willard Clark
Fisher, professor of economies in
Wesleyan University and mayor of
Middletown, last night, before the
Central Labor Union of Hartford,
speaking on the subject of why
Approve of Trade Unions" A year
or so ago, he declared, Mr.. Rookie
Teller, when on the grill for short
time, confessed that his income was
10 million dollars a year.
Think of it," said the professor
mayor. This represents the an
nual income of $1,000 to 10000 OF
the average American working men.
Andrew Carnegie" he said, lis
known to have sold his steel hold
ings--it is spelled STEEL hold
ings, for 535 million dollars, which
were gained from the labor of thou
sands of working men pushed to
their utmost capacity in his mills
For a long time he stood at the
head Of the tax list of New York
City, having stated his property al
5 million dollars, only about two
thirds of his annual income, and yet
the worlds most generous man de-
veloped this unevenness.
1.-The cause of labor unions should
enlist the sympathy of all minds,
said the professor. 1T is danger

he believed there would be no more

in connection with which the law
provides years term in prison or
