Finds Nevada Fields
!. Are Rich in 0paIs

Douglas B. Sterrett. of the Geological
Survey, has returned from Nevada
where valuable discoveries of opal had
been reported, with glowing accounts Of
the new gem field opened up in Virgin
Valley, Humboldt county.
The opal field has been very slightly
developed, but has probably yielded
more than $e0.oo0 worth of rough gems. :"
Mr.. Sterrett says. in a report just is
sued. "A few specimens worth several
hundred dollars each, and many fine
gems worth $50 to 5000 apiece have been
obtained, and the prospects Of the field
as producer of valuable opals are
bright"
The I ew gems discovered in this Ne
vada field are repor ted by Mr.. Sterrett
to be unexcelled in variety and brilliance
of fire and color. The cut gems exhibit
wonderful flashes of green, blue, yellow,
and red Of various shades. Many gems
display various bright colors, arranged
In patches. and each patch changes color
as the stone is, turned.
Mr. Stcrrett is preparing the data OBJ
tanned on his visit to the new gem field
for the publication of an extended re-
port.

NEW YORK MARKET
SLUMPS ON COPPER
Entire List Shows Weakness,
Most of the Issues Making
Fractional Losses.

NEW YORK, Sept. 24-The copper
stocks led the decline on the New York
market today. these issues being even
weaker than the general list, because of
the decrease in the price of electrotype
copper, which was shaded three-eiShths
by one of the largest selling agencies
The entire list was weak, however, most
of the issues making fractional losses in
the course of the days trading, and
most of them making these losses from
weak opening. fractionally below yes-
terday's close
That the Attorney General would pro-
ceed shortly to bring suit against the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company to
compel it to dispose of its holding Of
Central Pacific stock was one of the
reports which was afloat on the Street,
but Southern Pacific did not seem az
fected. 1t was weak, but no weaker
than the other stocks, about on a level
with it. Its price has been a little be-
low the standard per cent rails for
some days.
1t is expected that the Winnequa
steel plant of the Colorado Fuel and
Iron Company may have to close in the
fuel. as result of the strike of the
miners In the company's coal mines.
The regular quarterly dividend OF
ia per cent on the preferred and l per
cent on the common was declared To-Day
by the Westinghouse Electric and Manu-
featuring Company.
Copper opened at 76h, drop OF
three -eighths from the close of yester-
day, and sank to 75E. a full point drop
from the opening. Utah Copper open,
ed five-eighths down at SO fat, and
dropped further to 51M, while Tennes--
see Copper opened one-quarter down at
321z. and held its price: What saved
the Tennessee company is its enormous
side line of sulphuric acid, the price Of
which was not affected by today's hap
penings.
Steel was very weak. opening one
half down at 63ls, selling off to SO
even. and then recovering to one
quarter. Union Pacific opened three
quarters down, at 1914, and sold
on down to 1883. Reading opened
one-half down, too, at 169&, after
which it sold up to 16sb, and dragged
back to 16SH.
One Of the few issues which had any
strength was the { per cent bonds of
Rock Island. which opened at 52Z,
or three-eighths up, and sold up to
seven -eighths. Considering that these
bonds yield nearly S per cent at the
price. however. the recovery was not
remarkable.
A decided setback was given the BOOM
ing price of cotton on the New York
Cotton Exchange today, the staple OPEN
ing from 10 to 20 points down. and grad
ually declining further. The weakness
was caused by the reports from Wash
ington to the effect that the bill p>aal-
izing. the sale. Of futures when actINl

D|Az ENDS
EXILE, SAILS HOME
Ex-President and Aged Dictator
Of Mexico Takes the Ship
Espagne From Spain.

LONDON, Sept. 24-A dispiatch to
the Daily Telegraph from Madrid says
Mat Porfirio Diaz, former President Of
Mexico, sailed today on the steamer
Espagne for Mexico.
He said farewell to his daughter at
Santander. Spain. and took the boat,
which had come from st. Na1aire,
France He refused to discuss the sit
uaton In Mexico and said that he had
definitely retired from politics.
"Porfirio Diaz will return to his coun-
try when IT needs him." said Gen. Fer
dinando Gonzales. former governor Of
the state of Mexico. in March. He
sal dthat Diaz would not waste a mo-
n.ent If his country were IN peril and
he thought he could help her.
In Exile Two Years.
IL Is more than two years since the
aged dictator OF Mexico sailed from the
harbor of Vera Cruz on his way to exile
il Europe. On May 81. 1911, the steamer
Ypiranga carried him on the way to
Havana out through the same waters
in which he swan forty years ago to
escape arrest as a revolutionist.
1t was after two days of wild riotins
in the capital that Diaz finally decided
to escape from the wrath of the people
whom he had ruled 80 long. His goods
were packed as the howls 81 the mob
came to his ears in the darkened house,
and then the party dashed for the rail-
road station to take train for Vera
Cruz.
Flowers Instead of Curses.
In his party were his wife, his son,
his sons wife and five children, and
Senor Elizaga and his wife, the latter
a sister Of General Diaz
They reached Vera Cruz In safety
after a perilous ride. and then the last
few moments Of General Diaz's stay in
his country were made easy Flowers
were strewn in his path and cheers in
stead Of curses marked his passing.
At Havana, where the party stopped
Europe, General Diaz was greeted with
great friendliness. An official delegation
Of Havana officials bade him farewell
After a short stay in London, Don
POrf1ro went to Paris. where he was
said to have seen his nephew, Felix
Diaz. He spent some time on q trip
through Egypt, and at various times
said that heSwould be willing to return
II his country needed him.
In March Of this year q movement was
started by which It seemed that Felix
leo It was said then that he would
have his uncle brought back to his
country In triumph, where the elder
Diaz would act as adviser and help to
lift Mexico from the anarchy into which
she seemed to have fallen.

BLOW NOW AIMED
At STANDARD OIL
Uncle Sam Would Compel Trust
to Pipe Line Crude OH Of
Independents.

Another body blow at the Standard
Oil Company was aimed today by the
Government. Briefs were filed by the
Department Of Justice in the Supreme
Court attempting to compel the ''trust''
to transport crude Oh OF Independent
producers in its private pipe lines. The
lines declared common carriers. subject
to the jurisdiction of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. These pipe
line" cases will be argued next month
before the hight court
Declaring that the Amendment to the
says In Its brief:
1T is indisputably clear that the evil
aimed at (by the amendmeno was the
monopoly Of the oil business b. the
Standard Oil Company. a monopoly
largely II not chiefly due to the owner
ship and control by that corporation Of
80 per cent Of the pipe lines, and the
unconsctonable manner in which that
corporation asserted against the inde-
pendent well owners the advantage re-
sulting therefrom.
''The object Of the pipe line amend
ment was to protect well owners and
independent refiners from duress Of
pipe line owners. rendering real compe-
tition ossible and preventing monomoply
in interstate commerce In OIL.
Competition IL the basis Of our eco
nomic policy. But not war to the knife
and the knife to the hilt. The whole
history Of remedial legislation II the
history Of checks to prevent the strong
er, richer. or more crafty from wringing
from their fellow man advantages un-
reasonably disproportionate to their own
superiority.
More than anything else the pipe line
has contributed to the monopoly Of the
Standard OH. and the supremacy Of that
enjoy the same facilities Of transporta-
ton by this means"
The Government seeks to reverse de-
cision Of the Commerce Court denying
that pipe lines must become common
carriers and carry oil Of any producer
who effers 1t at equal rates.
