Summary of Decision.

Summary of Decision.
The official summary of the decis-
ion is:
The class rates between Chicago
and points on the Missouri river are
adjusted on an so cent scale and be-
tween Chicago and points on the
Mississippi river in Iowa on scales
of from 37.5 to Alt cents. Upon COM
plant on behalf Of the cities In the
interior Of the state of Iowa, held that
the rates between such interior points
and Chicago are unreasonable and I'M
duly discriminatory in comparison
with the rates to the river towns, and
to the commission for approval re-
yised basis of such rates grading the
80 cent Missouri river scale back
across the state Reparation denied.
The commodity rates in this case
are not dealt with. A fourth decis-
/ ion important for Iowa, is in case
lin which there were consolidated the
case of Colorado Manufacturers As
ISOLATION, ct al, VS.. Santa Fe, ct al
and the case of Sioux City Commercial
club VS.. Santa Fe, ct al. It was com.
planned class and commodities rates
between Colorado common points
! and the east we're excessive and dis
criminatory. 1t was held the rates
from Chicago and the Mississippi riv
er to Colorado as fixed in the Kimbel
case were not unreasonable but the
rates eastbound from the same points
were unreasonable and must not ex
coed westbound rates.
Glass rates between Colorado com
mon points and the Missouri are hello
excessive, reasonable rates prescribed
and reparation demanded.

Matters Passed over.

In this case the commission makes
this statement: ut is alleged that
the rates from Des Moines to ST.
Joseph and Kansas City are unreason-
able. The main exhibit of record
upon which this contention is based
is not decipherable. 1t is also alleg-
ed that the rates between interior
Iowa and certain points in Minnesota,
and the Dakotas and the northwest
are unreasonable. We shall not deal
with any of these questions at this
time. The record is not complete with
respect to this matter and they have
not been argued adequately
These issues ought really not to
have been called in this group of
cases All these questions will there
fore be reserved and may be called to
our attention again after the rate
readjustments here required have
been made effective
A case that involves the rates be-
tween Chicago and points taking Chi
cago rates or differentials over or I'M
der Chicago on one hand and interior
| Iowa cities on the other includes the
Cedar Rapids Commercial club VS..
Rock Island case, the Fort Dodge
Shippers association VS.. Great West

BELMONT EARNINGS
SHOW FALLING OFF
Tonopah Mining Company's
Net for the Month Was
$137,470.

The report OF monthly earnings for
the month of November for the Bel
mont Development company was issued
today, accompanied by the statement
OF the earnings of the Jim Butler, says
the Tonopah Bonanza. The November

Of the company in Philadelphia,
Earnings of tho Belmont were $685.

Der, and $ls2,9o5 for September. The
decrease is ascribed TO the drop in sill
yer and the payment of taxes, which
were deducted from the earnings this
month,
The Jim Butler showed net earnings
of S7153, compared with S6l00 IN Octo-
Der, in spite Of the heavy charges due
TO preparing the Desert Queen shaft.

MUSCROVE MILL is
PROVING A SUCCESS

The mill at the Musgrove mine has
shut down for a few weeks, or until
the extreme cold weather moderates suf-
iciently for further successful opera
ton.
Mr.. Oliver Dubuis, In charge Of the
mill, has sufficiently conducted his
practical tests Of the process by which
he s treating Musgrove ores, to dem
onstrate beyond question the actual
success of the treatment given and the
value of the ore, according to a re-
port in the Salmon, Idaho, Recorder.
Mr. Dupuis has given close attention
to these ores and conducted many eX-
periments to determine the best process
for saving the values. He has deter
mined, and now successfully tested, a
method which saves the maximum guam
tity of the gold contents with great
est economy of time and labor.
There is an immense tonnage of ore
from tho Musgrove mine already ex-
tracted and IN the bins, in addition to
the higher grade ore ready for extrac-
ton when that now in the bins is out
Of the way. Mine assays of this ore
gives an average value of Sl6 TO $l7
per ton, the mill estimate, however, re-
duces the average to $3.50 The mill
handles with four men about twenty
tons per day. When this company be-
gins to run its higher grade ores
blocked out in the mine, it will result in
increasing the gross gold yield to fully
100000 per anpum.

NOVEMBER REPORT OF
SAFETY DEPARTMENT

The safety department of the Steptoe
Valley plant at McGill, in its report
for the month OF November, has also
commenced the record and supervision
of the accident department Of the Ne
vada Consolidated workings, and pre-"
sents a very concise bulletin on acci-
dents and their prevention, says the
Ely Expositor.
Including all minor mishaps, such as
cuts, scratches and bruises which cause
no loss Of time, there were a total Of
seventy-two accidents reported. Twen-
ty-seven Of these occurred at tho Cop
per Flat steam shovel pit, seven IN the
Underground workings Of the Veteran
mine, seventeen at the concentrator and
twenty-one at the smelter and shops.
Out OF this total there were only eight
accidents which will cause a loss of
fourteen days to the employees, six Of
these being mine casualties, and two at
the Steptoe plant-both at the smelter.
The concentrator again wins the dis
tinction of coming through the month
without serious accident. Included
in the monthly record, however, is the
sad death Of Nally Terrill, switch
man employed at Copper Flat, who re,
ceived fatal injuries on the evening Of
November 2s, being crushed beneath
the body Of a dump car and the trucks
of the car, sustaining a fracture Of the
spine, from which he died twelve hours
afterward at the East Ely hospital,

Important Work of Gold Chain.

With limited force at work on the
ore the Gold Chain property is produc-
ing almost carload day. which un-
doubtedly means that the company is
building up very niece surplus.
Assistant Manager Loose is pounding
right along with the development of
the mine and just now he is paying
particular attention to the western sec
tion Of the company's holdings, which
he is prospecting through the Lower
Mammoth From the Lower Nam
moth g 1900 and 1900 levels drifts were
sent over into the Gold Chain, and Mr..
Loose says there is an excellent show
ing on each of these levels, The drifts
are cutting a splendid quartz forma-
ton, which by all the rules of tho min
ing game should carry the ore. The
development work which is being han
died from the neighboring property is
undoubtedly of considerable Importance
to the Gold Chain. In the first place it
is being done in ground that is far re-
moved from the older workings of the
mine, and then in the second place it
is at much greater depth than the
deepest workings Of the Gold Chain.

So, 900 Pounds a Year.

With the fall OF chihuahua, leaving

Greene-Cananea company is assured Of
continued relief from revolutionary
troubles.
The Greene company, operating at
60 per cent Of capacity, is now output:
ting at the rate of 36,00O,000 pounds OF
copper per annum.
With decline in the price Of copper
to IA cents, Greene cannot pay 81 per

cent. 1t will require a production of
40,000,000 pounds per unnum and suS-
tanned 15-cent prices to permit the pay.
ment Of dividends Of 81 per share.
With relief from revolutionary
troubles assured, the Greene company
should be able to increase its output
but the payment Of 81 per share per
annum will depend great deal upon
