Gets Apple Day Statistics

A dozen carloads Of apples were
consumed in this state on April S, as
the result of agitation and celebration
of Apple Day. These figures are the
estimate given by the Apple Day com
mittee to the Wenatchee commercial
club. Chairman Noah N. Brown OBJ
tanned his information by writing the
principal commercial clubs of the
state. He believes that the holiday
stimulated consumption SO that an
average OF one apple for each inhabit-
ant OF the state was eaten on April S.
The west side disposed of seven car
loads and the east side, FIVE.

INCREASE IN G. MS
EARNINGS PAST YEAR
Over II Per Cent Dividends will be Paid
this Year-Much New Equip
ment Ordered

Equipment orders OF the Great North
ern for delivery this year include 5000
box cars, $500 refrigerator, fiat and
miscellaneous cars and go locomotives.
Later some new passenger equip
ment will be ordered. The company
will spend s1,250.000 for snow sheds
in the Cascades this year, and by next
winter the line through the mountains
will be impregnable to the winter.
1t is not at all impossible that within
the next few years Great Northern lines
through Washington will be electrified.
At present about 10000 horsepower is
being used in operating trains through
the Cascade tunnel. With the devel-
opement OF water power at Chelan Falls
the company will be in position to
extend its electric zone with compara-
tive ease and economy. If the mango
ment electrifes extensively the line
from Leavenworth west to the Coast
would be the first stretch upon which
electricity would displace steam. After
that the line east from the Cascade
range to Spokane would receive atten-
tion.
The Great Northern will earn ap-
proximately 12H per cent on its $780,
100000 stock for the period ending
June 80 next. Last year 1881 per
cent was earned on the same amount
of srock.

MT. STUART MINING co.
TO START DEVELOPMENT
Owners of Asbestos Mines Expect to Begin
Operations this Year-ConsiderabIe
Stock Has Been Sold

Mark Bartlett, secretary of the Mt.
Stuart Mining Co.. which owns large
deposits OF Asbestos on Ingals and
Allen Creek in the Peshastin valley,
predicts that the time is not far distant
when the mining Of asbestos will be
one of the leading industries in Chelan
county.
The importance of developing an
asbestos mine may be judged from
the fact that only s per cent Of the
asbestos used in this country is pro-
duced within Uncle Sans borders.
The other 90 per cent nearly all comes
from Quebec. 1t brings in crude form
from $40 to $500 per ton. The Mt.
Stuart Co., has been offered $40 pei
ton for its product laid down in Port
land. There is a limitless quantity ol
it and mining cost is about 65 cents
per ton which is practically the same
as for mining coal. The chief cost is
to transport it from the mine to the
railroad at this point. This is about
$3.50 per ton.
Mr.. Rothert, Of the Washington
Steel & Iron Co., an expert in min
erology has made a thorough inspec-
ton Of the property and estimates that
the supply of asbestos is practically
inexhaustible at Mt. Stuart. Professor
Landes, the state geologist, has ex-
amined samples Of the product and
gives an enthusiastic endorsement,
calling attention to the fact that the
outcropping is worth $40 per ton, with
probability that quality viii increase
with depth.
The property is being developed by
stock company Of which w. E. Bart
lett is president, H. T. Mcdonnell is
vice-president and M. Bartlett, secre-
tary-treasurer. The board Of trustees
includes A. J. Mills, one Of the Mills
Brothers who own the Department

STORK HELD UP TRAIN
AT WFNATCHEE SUNDAY
Great Northeu's Crack Train Waits an
Hour and a Half at County Seat for
Arrival of Tiny Passenger

An unusual holdup occcuned in
Wenatchee Sunday when Great North
ern No. was detained an hour and
half in that city on account Of the birth
Of a child to one OF the passengers. 1t
was girl and was christened "Wenat-
chez" The mother was Mrs. 7. H.
Pottu, a german lady who has not been
long in this country and could scarce
ly speak word of English. When at
Ephrata she broke the news to the
trainmen that something was about to
happen, message was sent to DR.. F.
E. Culp, the Great Northern physician
at Wenatchee, who, with two nurses,
met the train on its arrival in that city.
Trainmen carried the woman from a
passenger coach into vacant compart-
ment in the Pullman where the birth
occurred.
In spite Of the delay of an hour and
half, imposed by DR.. Culp upon the
train crew, not a complaint nor pro-
test was registered by passenger or
member of the train crew. When the
news was spread that the new arrival
and the mother were well, waiting pas
sengers looked pleased, and the train
crew started on an interrupted trip with
broad smiles OF sheer delight on every
face from that of the engineer down to
the peanut butcher.
A nurse accompanied the woman to
Everett where DR.. Culp had ordered an
ambulance to meet the train and take
the mother and child to the hospital.
Word received from that city yesterday
was that mother and babe were doing
nicely.
Mrs. Potiu's intended destination
was Vancouver, B. c., where her hus-
band is employed. She was accom-
panied by her sister-in-law and by her
five other children, the oldest Of whom
is II years Of age.

some very alluring samples Of free gold

the size of an English walnut was al

FORMER CITY ENGINEER
RETURNS TO HILLYARD
R. t. Brown, Near Death, Agrees to Re-
turn and Plead GuiIty-WiIl be
Let Off with Fine

Warned by physicians that a trial
will cost him his life, R. E. Brown,
former city engineer of Hillyard and OF
this city, who is charged with misappro-
priating public funds, has agreed to
return to Spokane and plead guilty to a
conspiracy charge.
The Hilyard authorities have already
expended more than 5000 in an effort
to extradite Brown from Vancouver,
B. c. Not until the return Of Deputy
Prosecutor D. E. He'll Monday was
the condition of the prisoner known.
He carried letters showing that Brown
is in critical condition and has but a
short time to live.
A conference was held at the Office
OF the prosecutor, after which it was
decided to permit the prisoner to re-
turn to Spokane with the provision
that he plead guilty to the conspiracy
charge before Justice Fred Witt, ac-
cept his fine and pay all expenses
which have been occasioned by his
fighting extradition.
While William ]. Mahar, the city
clerk, and John A. Carabin, the city
treasurer OF Hillyrd, were charged
jointly with Brown with having con-
spired to defraud the city of Hillyard,
Brown failed to surrender to the local
authorities as they did.
They pleaded guilty and were fined
$500 and costs each.
The prosecutors found that they were
not able to extradite Brown on a war
rant charging conspiracy and filed a
felony charge.
Sheriff Stone went to Vancouver
early in the month, but was unable to
secure the prisoner.
D. B. He'll, accompanied by the sher-
if attended the extradition hearing
last week. The court permitted Brown
IS days in which to apply for habeas
corpus warrant. Mr.. He'll then returned
to Spokane.
The letters he bore showed that
Brown has had kidney and several
ribs removed and that he could moi
endure trial.
"As Brown has agreed to accept the
ruling OF the court and will pay costs,
which have already reached between
5000 and $500, we feel that we should
bring the prisoner to the city at once,
said Deputy Prosecutor F. M. Goodwin
Monday. The physicians declare
that he cannot survive a month in
case he is confined in Jail and forced
to appear in court, After a conference
we have decided to wire the sheriff to
bring him to the city to avoid further
expense"
The information charged the Hill
yard officials with having m;sappro-
priated S182.20.
