Colorado Mine Has Developed
Anew and Valuable Ore Body

Mining men who have watched the
career of the Colorado Mining com
pany are interested IN the fact that re
Gently new body Of ore was discovered
to the northwest of the original chan
uel, six-foot face OF valuable stuff
having been exposed there. The annual
report submitted 10 stockholders IN
November last says;
"During the fiscal year no additional
property has been acquired and the
mine equipment is unchanged. The

core production has been confined
TO the old channel, where small string
ers and offshoots from the main fis
sures have been followed, wherever
profitable. The cleaning up Of the old
Slopes has yielded a good percentage
Of the past years production and
special attention has been given to this
work,
The policy adopted by the manage
ment OF developing only such places as
gave promise of ore production has been
adhered TO in measure. although some
100 feet OF exploring work away from
the known vein has been done, The
greater part of this work consists of
drift about 500 feet from the Grown
Point shaft, running west toward our
shaft No. ?. The object OF tins drift
was TO determine the extent OF the
porphyry showing on the surface imme-
diatcIy east OF the Colorado line, aud
to cut the contact AZ that point.
''Tbis drift was commenced from the
500-foot level OF the Crown Point
workings and is 1000 feet lower than
the collar OF the Colorado No. > shaft.
\ drift east from the 300 level of the
No. shaft was run a distance OF sol
feet Tor the purpose of cutting this
same contact from the cast side. This
work has demonstrated that there is
no ore on the contact and that the
porphyry showing Oh the surface must
be au overflow.

has been done from the surface iu |

outcrops of the same nature further
west, which VIC believe 20 be the same
as the old Utah vein, having the same
dip. This tunnel has been designated
the American tunnel. The work thus
far has only cut the first mentioned
groupings, which shows some quartz
carrying small values. There is devel-
oped considerable tonnage of low

SkiIlfuI Diplomacy by Representatives
of Both Sides Brings Long inter-
nal Strife to End-AII
Is Quiet.

Pekin--After occupying the throne
OF China for nearly three centuries
the Manchu dynasty, represented by
Pu Vi, child emperor, has abdicated.
In keeping with the custom attend
ing great events In China, numerous
edicts were issued. One proclaimed
the abdication of the emperor, anoth-
er dealt with the establishment of a
Chinese republic and the third urged
upon the people the maintenance Of
peace and order and approving the
conditions agreed upon by the imperi-
al premier
The acting premier, Yuan Shi Ka1,
was touchingly thanked for his sue
cessful efforts in obtaining good treat
ment for the imperial family from the
republicans, by the empress dowager
at the last audience. The publication
of the edicts was received with sigh
OF relief by native and foreigner alike,
all apparently realizing that the long
strain is over The arrangements at
tending the establishment of the new
order of things is considered to be
sk1llful compromise, and it is believed
that the terms viii satisfy the repub-
icans.
The first edict of the day provided
that the terms of the abdication shall
be communicated at once to the for
eign legations for transmission to
their respective governments, the OBJ
ject being to give worldwide publicity
to the pledges made by the repub-
ncans.
of the throne the republicans make
the following pledges to the emperor:
First, the emperor shall retain his
title and shall be respected as for
eign monarch.
Second, the emperor shall receive
an annual grant of 100000 taels I'M
til the currency is reformed, after
which he shall receive 100000 Mex
lean
1t Is also provided that all members
of the royal family having hereditary
titles shall retain their ranks; the no.
bility shall have the rights of ordi-
nary citizens and will be exempt from
military service. 1t Is further pledged
that the Mongols, Manchus and Mo
hammedans and Thibetans shall have
the same rights and privileges as the
Chinese.
No provision has yet been made for
Dr. Sun Vat Sen. For the present the
legations will deal unoffi cially with
Yuan Shi Kai's government until it is
recognized. This recognition is ex-
pected as soon as the cabinet is
formed

J. ]. HILL QUIZZED
IN STEEL PROBE
Throws Light on Ore Land Lease to
RaIlroad-Makes Trust Pay
High Price.

Washington. ]. Hill, chair
man of the board of the Great
Northern railroad, told the Stanley
steel trust investigating committee a
story of himself in the role of phil
anthropist to the stockholders OF the
railway company.
When the railroad builder took the
stand and had been sworn Chairman
Stanley welcomed him and announced
that Mr.. Hill had willingly responded
to the committees request and con-
scented to aid the inquiry all he could.
Mr. Hills testimony was designed
to throw light on the so-called Hill
lease Of the Lake Superior ore fields
to the United States Steel corpora
ton, lease which was recently or
dered to be Cancelled, in 1915.
: Mr.. Hill told the committee how,
out of his own pocket, he had bought
100000 worth of ore and railroad
property on the Mesaba Range, how
he had engineered the lease with the
United States Steel corporation, by
the terms of which the trust was I'M
moIC11uI1y cn1Se1eo, paying 91.V6 PEI
ton for ore while independents paid
other companies between Is and At
cents; how he had turned over the
Mesaba properties and half dozen
other concerns to the Lake Superior
company, limited, thus keeping inside
the Sherman act, and how the profits
of the Lake Superior company had aft
erwards been turned into the Great
Northern Ore company, whose stock
was distributed share for share among
the shareholders of the Great North
ern Railway company.

"DOLLAR-A-DAY" PENSION
BILL Is REJECTED
Senate Committee Votes Down Sher-
wood Measure-Smoot Substi-
tute Adopted.

Washington. = The Sherwood so
called "dollar-a-day" pension hl was
rejected by the senate con nittee
on pensions, and another meas
ure, with an annual expenditure of
$24,000000, proposed as a substitute
by Senator Smoot of Utah, was
adopted
Senators Brown of Nebraska and
Curtis of Kansas gave notice that they
would move in the senate to substitute
the original Sherwood bill for the
Smoot measure and demand its pas
sage.
Senator Shoots estimate of 4,000,-
900 as the cost Of his plan is based
upon the pension bureaus computa-
ton of age and length of service of
the veterans. The Sherwood bill, ac-
cording to the pension bureau would
have cost about SIS, 100000 year
The Smoot bill was adopted by a
vote of IL to 2, after the Sherwood
bill had been voted down 10 to 4.
The Smoot bill provides a scale of
pensions varying with age and serv-
ice, which in the case of a soldier
who served 80 days amounts to $13
month between ages of sixty-two and
sixty-six; SIS between sixty-six and
seventy; SIS between seventy and
seventy-fve, and $21 from seventy-fve
on. The scale rises gradually with
every six months' service until it al
lows $50 per month to veteran of
seventy-fve years who was in the
service three years or more. For
soldier who served three years or
more the scale is: From sixty-two to
sixty-six years, SIG; from sixty-six to
seventy, SIS; from seventy to seventy
five, $24, and from seventy-fve on, $50.
The action of the committee brought
protest on the floor of the senate
from Senator Kenyon of Iowa.
