ANCIENT CHANNEL At
COPPER CANYON
Judge l. o. Ray Gives Theory Of
the Lander County Placer
Deposits

That Copper canyon and the placer
district near Battle Mountain has
plenty of workmen on the ground,
and that nobody should go in except
to acquire holdings or prospect new
ground, is the statement made by
Judge L. o. Ray, who is visiting in
Reno, says the Gazette.
Judge Ray says that Christensen
and Dali, who discovered the district
three years ago last September. are
now reversing the process they for
merly used and instead of hauling
water to their property, are hauling
gravel taken off the bed rock to
water that has been brought from
Willow creek by gravity to within
1900 feet of their workings. One
man, he says, working four months
in Winter with one rocker, has paid
the expenses of II to IS men. Judge
Ray declares that 80 men are now
taking out 5000 to $1,000 daily. and
that gravel hauled to water runs
from So at the minimum to 500 at
the maximum to the yard.
The Big Four Leasing Company of
Rochester, said the Judge, which
paid $11. 900 for its lease, is working
steadily. Five or six other outfits
are at work up the gulch in Copper
canyon. Ole Elliott, AL Champion
and Bob Phillips have a lease from
Meagher. The ground in the vicini-
ty is pretty well taken up.
In Willow creek gulch, three miles
west. from $40 to $50 to the man is
being taken out in gravel struck re-
Gently. In the old channel to the
east. neal Bannock. Bert Williams
and Sheehy are said by Judge Ray to
be taking out $50 to the man daily.
They made their strike by running a
tunnel under the malapal overflow in
Box canyon, where it is said that
$40, 900 was taken out in placer sew
eral years ago by dry washers. the
ground has recently been bonded.
Judge Ray accounts for the depos-
its of placer in this manner: Old
placer miners in the district, he says,
have discovered evidences that an
ancient channel existed at the sum-
init of the range. This appears in
places where it was not obliterated
by erosion. A subsequent malapal
flow covering it in other places is in
dictated.

ADVANCE III FREIGHT
RATES IS SUSPENDED
Railroad Offices Notified of
Action of Interstate Com
merce Commission.

Local railroad offices were notified
yesterday that the interstate commerce
commission had suspended, until July
81, the advance in freight rates for
trans Missouri lines to Utah common
points, which had been scheduled to
become effective April /. The suspen-
sion Of the new tariff is made by the
commission in granting the petition Of
the Salt Lake Commercial club traffic
bureau, which filed with the commits
sion statement declaring the new
rates eXorbitant and discriminatory.
Information of the suspension OF the
new tariff came in an official COM
municatIon from the commission to w.
a. Potett of Kansas City, agent in
charge of the tariffs for the trans
Missouri liues. Mr.. Potett in turn no.
titled the effected railroads
Officials of the traffic bureau were
elated over their initial victory in the
contest to- prevent an increase in the
freight rates. Stephen H. Love, presi-
dent Of the traffic bureau, believes
that the fight for the shippers is as
good as won. He said the shippers
had drawn first blood and the burden
Of proof now rests with the railroads
TO show that an advance in rates is
necessary. He does not believe that
the roads can satisfy the commission
that an advance is needed.
A hearing on the question will prob
ably be ordered BY the commission in
the course of the next month or two.
The local traffic bureau will be repre-
sentcd at the hearing.
The suspension Of the new tariff will
undoubtedly have the effect of auto
matically stopping the issuance of the
new Idaho and Wyoming tariffs. which
are now in the course of preparation,
and which were Ia have been issued
in few days The rates for Idaho
and Wyoming were based upon the pro-
posed advance in the Utah rates, aud
the suspension of the Utah rates will
cause the railroads TO wait until The
commissica finally passes upon the
question, before announcing the tar
IFS.
Mr.. Love said yesterday that new
tariff was needed for Utah common
points, but that tho shippers wished
the rates to be relatively the same as
at present and that they would oppose
any material advance such as proposed
in the new tariff, which has just been
suspended

WOMEN ARE JAILED

timony Permitting Escape of
White Slave Offenders.

The campaign Of the federal authori-
ties to facilitate white slave inyestiga-
tions by vigorously prosecuting women
of the underworld, who many times per-
jure themselves at the Mann act hear
ings in order to shield the accused men,
received a boost last week at Great
Falls, Mont, where two such women
were convicted of perjury and given
Jail sentences. Leon Bone, special
agent Of the department of justice,
who investigated the cases, returned to
Salt Lake yesterday morning from
Great Falls, where he aided in the con-
viction with his testimony.
The sentences imposed on the two
women were four months each. Gather
inc Mitchell and Humpsey Barnes, two
young Women whom the federal officers
relied upon to help convict Harry Smith,
charged with white slavery, shielded
Smith and another man in their testi-
mony before the United States com
missioner and grand jury at Butte,
Mont. The men were not held, but the
girls were and the evidence secured by
Bone caused their conviction.

in Salt Lake by Bone and charged with
transporting negress from Billings,
Mont, TO Pocatello, Idaho, was found
guilty and given a sentence Of nine
