Canadian Commission BIames Third
officer Of Collier AZ Negligent.

Quebec.-The collier Storstad ID
held to blame for the Empress of Ire
land disaster. In the findings Of the
wreck commission just handed down.
The commission holds that the dis
aster was due to the Storstad's change
of course, ordered by the third officer.
who was in charge of the collier at the
time.
The Empress was sunk In the st.
Lawrence ON May 30. with loss of
more than 1000 lives.

begun In Quebec June Is. by a COM
mission composed of Lord Mersey, for
merly presiding justice of the British
admiralty court; Sir Adolpho Routhier
Of Quebec. and Chief Justice Mcleod
of New Brunswick.
The GOLFERS third officer found re-
spopsible is Alfred Tuftenes. He was

wrong and negligent in keeping the
navigation Of the vessel In his own
hands and failing to call the captain

The report says the disaster was not
due to any special characteristics Of
the st. Lawrence. It was a disaster
which might have occurred in any riv-
or In similar circumstances.

A FINANCIAL WRECK
STORY OF OPERATIONS OF THE
NEW HAVEN RAILROAD TOLD
TO CONGRESS.
REPORT OF INTERSTATE COMMERCE
Stockholders Have Lost Over $4,000,
600 During Past 10 Years-lnves-
tigating Committee Has Praise
for President Elliott.

Washington. The story of the
reckless and profligate" financial OPP
erations of the New Haven railroad,
one Of the most remarkable chapters
in the history of American railroad
and American finance, was revealed in
part by the interstate commerce CON-
mission in report to the senate Of
its investigation Of that road.
It told of millions used like stage
money, of corporations as pawns in a
monster game, with all Ned England's
transportation as prize, which led
the New Haven in the 10 years just
passed from the height Of prosperity
to the point where a dividend has
been passed, where dissolution suit
is threatening and where criminal In
dictments of many of the directors
who figured in its deals are a posi-.
bility.
Hampered by unwilling witnesses.
by burned books and by all the mazes
which lawyers invented to cover the
trail the commission estimated that in
the progress toward monopolization
of New England transportation, the
New Haven stockholders have lost be
tween $65,O00,00O and $90.000,000, but
little of which they may recover. In
return. the report said, they have on
their hands properties which pay nc
dividends, which eat into the earnings
of the parent road, and which will be
a burden on it's capacity for many
years to come
The report deals with the manage
ment of the New Haven under former
President Charles 8. Mellen, and o.
the present directing head, Chairman
Howard Elliott, and w. D. Hines, spe
cial counsel, says: They have coop
Grated with the commission and rem
dered it substantial assistance through
out this investigation"

It is reported that two feet of high
grade ore has been encountered In the
3OO-foot level of the Gold Hill mine

$25, 900 has been expended In develop
ment work on this property.
The capital stock of the Gertie Min.
ing Co. of Burke, Idaho, has recently

to 100000 shares, and A. A. Booth,
one of the stockholders, has an
nounced that development work will

ken on the Republic Mines corpora

of the Consolidated Mining and
Smelling Co. have recently been
made, the additional tonnage being
from 600 and 700 tons to 1000 to 1,1OO
tons per day. This extra tonnage is
the result Of the blowing in of a new
copper furnace, which makes four
available for use.

per and lead produced at mines in
Washington during 1913, according to
c. N. Gerry, of the United States geo.

pared with $1,120,214 in 1912, and ST..

crease in value resulted from lower

ton of silver and copper.

Gates, but the actual number of varie.
ties is very great. The bureau of az.

looking toward finding out the best
dozen or SO varieties from this great
number and progress enough has been
made to make 1t certain that IL the
work is continued it will be possible
within one or two years more to send
out these chosen varieties and thus
make possible an increase of from 10
