Great Ore in Tennessee.

It is currently reported that the Tennessee mine has one of the great. est showings of ore ever opened in tha, property on the 700 level. The ore body has been quite zincy, but the present ore body Is high grade gal. ena carrying values in gold and silver. The vein is very large at this point and the ore bearing part is fully fifteen feet wide and of unknown length. This is really the greatest body of rich lead ore ever opened in the Chloride field, the other ore bodies having been badly miXeG with iron.
 Shipments from the mine are now very regular, averaging more than forty tons daily. AS soon as stopes cau be opened on the new level it is expected that fully 100 tons can be sent out daily.

The Metals Tariff.

Congress is just now revising the tariff and among the many things that will receive attention is lead, zinc, cop- per and other metals. The bill as framed cuts the tariff on the metals thirty-five per cent below the existing tariff, which would practically afford no protection to the metal miners, un- less the smelters reduced their rates to a figure that would give the miners the same margin of profit. The min. ing congress heads are making fight against the reduction, but in the gen. eral nature of things the reduction is almost sure to come. The reduction of the tariff on the metals would increase imports about twenty-five millions and reduce the government revenue by nearly a million dollars. In like ratio the producers of the metals would be affected, although it is asserted that there would be greater market stead mess. On what theory the market steadlness is based we cannot say, but it may be possible that with greater field m ire smelters mi yht operate and cate such demand for ores that better prices would prevail It is well known that the shelter rate today is higher than it was twenty-five years ago, owing to the monopoly of smelling ores and metal sales. By breaking this monopoly it is possible that the small producer might be better pro- tected and get better results from his OrpS

Idle Mining Property.

The remedy for the existing evil of idle mining property must be sought either in the adoption of leasehold. un- der which the Government can enforce operation, a system which fully attains the desired end of promoting mining development in Australia and New Zealand, according to the report made in 1907 by Geologist A. c. Neatch, of the Geological Survey, to the Presi- dent, or in the thorough revision of the existing system. Radical amendment to the present law would be necessary Tn order to secure something more nearly approaching equality of oppor- tunity. Some limitation should be put on the number of claims which an in- dividual can locate in each mining dis trlct, and the prevention of monopo- lization would be furthered by the rigid enforcement of assessment de- velopment. The record of claims kept by local official elected by the miners should be reported to the nearest land office in order to furnish the Federal Government with notice of the in- tention of the claimant, and thus to initiate the operation of effective h. spection, the purpose of which would be to enforce the use and development of mineral land and contemplated in the law. (From Report of Director, U. s. Geological Survey.)

Fifteen People Are Injured When Frisco Passenger
 Train Leaves Track
AT KISOMA, OKL A.
Engineer, Fireman and Express Mes- senger Buried Under Wreckage
 Train Was Making Up Time.

Fbrt Smith, Ark, April 30-Fif- teen persons were injured, severs seriously, when southbound Frisco train Ma. en route from Fort Smith to Paris, Texas, was wrecked on 2 curve one mile north of Kisoma Oklahoma, this afternoon. The train was two hours late and was trying to make up lost time.
 As the engine struck the curve and bounded from the rails it turned a complete somersault. The baggage car did likewise Three coaches were thrown on their sides in ditch The diner and Pullman remained on the tracks.
 Engineer Hugh Hammersley and his brother, Oscar Hammersley, fire man, and Frank Williams, express messenger, were buried under the wreckage four hours before they were rescued. They were the most seriously injured.

date. They are undecided whether to place the cause as the weakness of their candidate or the overwhelm- ing sentiment for Speaker Clark.
 Everything that could be was done for Governor Wilson in this state. His supporters have no fault to find with themselves, they have admitted that the governor of New Jersey did not appeal to the masses of the voters in the party as did the candidacy of Mir. Clark.
 The campaign for Governor Wilson started ahead of that of Mir. Clark and many who had committed them selves to his candidacy remained 10 tAe finish tonight.
 The result was accepted at the Clark headquarters in this city with smiles and as soon as there could be no further possible doubt of the speaker having carried the state, telegrams were sent west and south conveying the glad tidings.

OBJECTED TO "COPPER"
 AS AN ESCORT

! To obviate the subjugation, humil- iation and degradation of having a policeman escort her to the police station, Lucy Barnes, a lady of choco- late color, after set-to with anoth- CT ,colored "lady,' Josie Calvin, on East Fourth avenue yesterday after noon, rushed to the protecting arms of Attorney Creed Caldwell, famed for his dispatch in. rendering aid to unfortunate burheads who have got ten in bad with the city police, and begged him to escort her to the police station so she could surrender to the officers. MT. Caldwell granted her request and the two "sashed" up to headquarters where Lucy told her story and a warrant for disturbing the peace was made out against her. A warrant was also made out for Jo- sic Calvin, on the same charge and the two will submit their cases to Judge Stewart in police court this morning.

RIVER WILL GO
 10 29 FEET HERE P. R. Van Frank Says Gauge May Register as
 High as 29.5.
BANKS ARE ALRIGHT
Engineer William Parkin Fears No Local Trouble But Farmers
 Will Suffer.

Information received late last night by William Parkin, assistant govern ment engineer who is in charge of the government work in this city,
 from P. R. Van Frank, of Little Rock. chief engineer for the government at Little Rock, was to the effect that the Arkansas river would reach 29 or 29.5 feet at this place on May 8 or 4.
 If the gauge shows this much water in the treacherous stream on either of the days listed, it is expected that great damage will result from flood water South of Pine Bluff and levees all along the river between Pine Bluff and the mouth of the Arkansas river will be given a severe test.
 Mr. Parkin stated last night that he believed that every levee on the Arkansas would hold. He fears no trouble along the river bank here as all the revetments are strong and there are no weak places, not even where the caving of the bank be- tween Kentucky and Florida streets was stopped in the last few days by prompt government work. In the past week Mir. Parkin has had al force of men at work building mats along the bank and last week one mat 52 feet by 45 feet was dropped and many rocks were placed on top| of 1t to protect the under part of the bank in the Eastern part of the city. On Monday of this week another mat, 80 by 196 feet, was sunk and MT bank there.
 MT. Parkin believes that the big waters coming down the Arkansas will be sufficient to worry the farm CTS South of Pine Bluff, however. The government reports show that the Arkansas river rose S.3 feet at Fort Smith within "A hours, and last reading at o'clock yesterday morn ing showing g feet, three feet above flood stage. At Dardanelle the river registered 1S feet at Little Rock, 16.3 feet, and at Pine Bluff 19 feet at the same hour. Since the o'clock reading yesterday the Arkansas re- corded a rise of two feet yesterday, the gauge showing a little ntore than 21 feet last night It was stated that the Arkansas was rising here at the rate of one inch an hour yesterday and that it will continue to rise fast for several days.

 From Bay State.
CLARK GETS STATE
Massachusetts Delegation Will Cast Thirty-Six Votes For Missour.
 ian at Democratic Convention.

Boston, April 30.-Speaker Chamr Clair kswept the Bay State in the pr maries today by vote of more than two to one.
 The full thirty-six votes of Massa- chusetts will be cast for the Missouri ian in the National Democratic Con- vention at Baltimore.
 From the early returns it does not appear that Woodrow Wilson has car ried single town. Among the SUD- porters of the speaker the result to- night Is considered as practically fore-shadowing his nomination and the vote is considered a severe blow to the hopes of Governor Wilson.
 The Republican contest was so close that the result will not be known until tomorrow. No general election ever held in the state has been as close as the Republican pri- maries today. With all of the avail able vote tabulated the two candidates have seesawed back and forth First one i'll the lead by a few votes and then the other.
 When practically one-third of the vote had been canvassed of all the sections of the state Colonel Roose- welt was credited with 23,733 votes and Taft with 23,773, difference of forty votes in a total vote of 47,500. With the vote so close nothing but the official returns will settle the question. That the delegation to the National Republican Convention will be divided is certain.
 The Clark victory has been most disheartening one to the supporters of Governor Wilson, who are appalled, at the showing made by their candi-

report from Tulsa, Ok, yestert.av Which stated that the Arkansas came to a stand there Monday afternoon @lt was stated, however, that the crest of the flood would not reach Fort smith until today
 The last high water was recorded here at it's height at 26.2 feet. This was on April 1, 19i-. Th4 MissisziDni river was out of it's banks T the time and tho water did not ,-o ont very last, but fortunately there was no great amount of water in tho upper Arkansas territory and nrac- tlcally no damage was done in the lower Arkansas valley. But at pYes- ent the Mississippi is still high and il 29.3 feet or even % feet is record ed on he government gauge here the farmers may expect some trouble lhe flood stage here is 9 feet, so it will be seen that the water will go four feet over the flood stage at this point, if Mr. Van Franks pre- diction comes true. This is most likely for he bases his figures on those of previous floods.
 On April the Arkansas reached 21.5 feet at Fort Smith and on April 4, 26.2 at Pine Bluff, a difference of AZ feet. It is these figures that MT. Van Frank is using as an example of making his 295 prediction. But in May, 1909, the river registered 26.4 feet at Fort Smith and 27 feet at Pine Bluff, so it will be seen that the AZ foot difference does not always hold good. It depends entirely upon the amount of territory the water covers while en route to this city from the Border City.
 It is admitted by MT. Parkin, how ever, that a big rise is coming and that the rise will be sufficient to bear watching.

.II6 BODIES WERE
 BURIED Al SEA Contradictory M e essag e S Caused Grave Blunder By
 Captain of Ship.
306 BODIES FOUND
Undertaken in Charge Says Very Few Corpse Required Immed-
 fate Burial.

Halifax. April 30--Owing to wire less messages, some of which con Aradicted and .wese misunderstood by Captain Lander, one hundred ant sixteen bodies of the Titanic wer, buried at sea by mistake With yer, few exceptions, perhaps less than ten. the bodies consigned to ocea1 graves were as we'll preserved as the 190 brough here when the cable ship docked at the Navy yards al 9:30 this morning, after days of sus- pense and disappointing delays.
 Attempts To Suppress BIunder
 Although every effort is being made on the part of the White Star people here to suppress the blunder in abandoning so many bodies at sea, the facts have been obtained by the writer on undisputable authority. The discovery that 116 had been commit ted to the deep and 190 brought ashore, show for the first time that the Mackey Bennett recovered 306 in- stead of 205. as had been reported from time to time in telegrams.
 Few Bodies Unrec0gnizabIe
 According to Undertaken John R. Snow, son of the proprietor of the firm in charge of the arrangements all but few of the bodies buried were fit to keep. Young Snow, who was the only undertaken on board the Mackey Bennett, said that some skulls were crushed and arms and legs broken, and very many had faces so bruised as to be unrecogniz- able. But there was not single body that had to be abandoned be- cause of putrefication.
 Cold Water Preserved Bodies
 Tt was wounds or bruises only that made identity difficult or inn possible in one scattered instance" added Mir. Snow. "The cold water and ice acted as preservative." a We sailed on the Mackey Bennett from this port on April IF, two days after the Titanic went down wit: her dead. We met bad weather and lots of ice. We didn't come in sight Of any bodies until week ago Sat urday night, but it was too late to lower small boats that night. There were several big icebergs about us. The ice floe was thick.
 Babys' Body First Found.
 Bright and early Sunday morning the harvest began. One of the frs, bodies picked up was that a little baby two years old She had flaxen hair and round face, like a doll. And she was floating right at our port side. The boys who picked her up said she seemed to be looking up to them appealingly. She is in little shroud aboard the Mackey bennett. If nobody can claim her the ships crew are going to chip in Tor the burial and erect a suitable monument to her memory.

 tlon There is no doubt about bis
 identity, judging from the effects
 found on him.
 The body thought to be that of
 George B. Widener of Philadelphia is badly disfigured. His skull is crushed. Arms and legs of many ] were broken. They were found float ing low. Everybody we hauled aboard had a life belt. It was a singular thing how they were grouped If Known how if you take hand full of lilies and toss them into a filled buck, ct, they will float in punches, It was the same with the Titanic's victims We came across.
 Bodies Drifted to Northwest.
 We had to steam fully forty miles further northeast of where the Titanic sank before We came to any bodies. The pursuer took charge of all the valuables taken from the bodies. I do not know what the combined iew- elry is worth. It runs high. but I hear them say aboard that the cash taken from the bodies would aggre- gate $17,000.
 As fast as the bodies were embalm- ed they were placed in all of the cof- fins which we had on board. When the coffins gave out we bound them in tarpaulins. There were only two women on board and I think dozen or fourteen were buried at sea
 No Indications of Suicide.
 T found no trace of bullet wounds or indications of suicide. Two of the men passengers had revolvers on their persons, but the chambers of the re- volvers were full. We kept picking them up for several days in little clusters of from four to six. It was strange how they seemed to group Up that way.
 "The burial services by Cannon Finest, of All Saints Cathedral, the church here, were impress sive.
 Corpses Looked Like Seagulls.
 The story told by Captain Frank H. Lardner, of the Mackey Bennett, is graphic. The captain says that when he came across the bodies, the white fife belts bobbing at distance made them look like seagulls resting on the waves They drifted in groups and the bobbing life belts which showed white as we approached, made the bodies look like seagulls on the wave. I account for the crushed skulls, broken arms and legs and oth- er injuries, by the fact that when the great liner foundered the waves bounded the dying passengers against posts and stanchions.
 Our system was to send out small )oats, round up the bodies, take hem aboard, remove the valuables, which were placed in bags, bearing he numbers corresponding to the la ,els on the bodies.
 "To sink the bodies the Mackey 3ennett's crew used number of old ire grate irons, each weighing hundred pounds or more, which were carried out for the purpose.
