Big Profits In Wool Buying.
Helena Independent

Helena Independent
Frank Edwards of Boston aud Phil.
adel phia. who is known to many Mon.
lana WOOL growers as . good buy.
err" has been awarded q verdict Of
sl54 ,216 as q balance due him from
his employers, who were to pay him
10 per cent of the net profits of the
business in America, based on the &C.
tual cost price of wool TO the firm.
Besides this commission Edwards re.
ceived . salary of s5. 600 per annum
The term of service during which
the dispute o. which has just dis.
closed the profits OF wool buying, was
from 1897 to 1908, about eleven years.
During this time Mr.. Edwards drew
IS, 900 q year and expenses and was to
receive 10 per e of the profits "bas-
ed on the actual cost price OF the
WOOL"
The court has awarded him 1854 PIG
as his share of the profits, or approxi-
mately 10 per cent of the profits of his
wool buying. The total profits OF his
operations would therefore appear to
be 1852, 100 in q little less than eleven
years.
Those who knew Mr.. Edwards will
rejoice with him in the verdict, bu,
they are reminded in q rather forceful
way of the profits Of the mtddlemau

VOL CGAN0
Is Discovered in Colorado by
the, United States Geo
logical Survey.

WASHINGTON, Feb. ,19.-An incip-
lent volcanic eruption that came near
being a live volcano in the remote
past is described in the geologic folio
on the Apishapa region, Colorado,
Just issued by the geological survey.
The region is part of the semiarid
plains and mesas that lie at the east
foot of the Rocky Mountains near
Pueblo. The rocks at the surface are
largely soft shales and thin lime
stones that give rise to fiat-topped
mesas and badlands. In the center
OF the area thick resistant sandstones
rise in a low dome, into which Apis
hapa and Huerfano rivers and their
tributaries have cut deep vertical
Walled canyons. Small vertical dikes
Of cooled lava cut these rocks at many
places and all point toward the Span
,sh Peaks, to the southwest, once
great center of volcanic activity.
III the sharp dome i'll the midst OF
the nearly fiat strata of the area are
exposed some of the lower rocks of
the region, and it is believed that this
bulging of the strata was caused by
an infection of lava beneath the rocks
now exposed, which, if it could have
burst through this cover, would have
formed a volcano. Similar domes not
far distant in the Great Plains have
been oroded deeply enough to expose
the intrusive lava

BY the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company in
This Section.

GRAFTON, FEB. 19-The heavy
business that has been noticed in the
freight shipments for several months
still continues and the volume o.
business is proving very satisfactory
The threatened strike OF the hremen
has had no effect as yet and there
seems to be little uneasiness among
the local officials in regard to the
situation. The feeling here is
strongly prevalent that the matter
will be amicably adjusted before the
iremen lay down their shoyels and
leave their engines. 1t is thought
highly improbable that the men
will not go out on strike.
The allotment Of funds for the To-
cal shops for the month of Febru-
airy was the largest that has been
had for several months and as a re
suit the shops are being run on a
full ten-hour day basis. The men
are nearly all making the full ten
hours and besides many of them are
making overtime. Many of the imen
are going to work at $50 and work
ing until 10 o'clock at might, thus
making a day and half. There is
considerable laid-in-work to be done
on some of the 2,4Oo type engines
that are laid up here and all who
want to make extra time get the OPP
,portunity on these engines.
General Superintendent of Mo-
tive Power, "A. 4. White has been
spending considerable time in the To-
cal shops recently andlit is believed
he is determined to get the motive
power in the best possible shape.
The ten-hour day will likely be con-
tinued through this month and prob
ably indefinitely. The machinists
and their helpers are elated with
the prospect of having the chance Of
making plenty of overtime and are
looking forward to drawing heavy
pay next month.
