GOVERNOR OF MASSACHUSETTS,
DISCUSSES u. ~ NJ. TROUBLES

The Boston & Maine railroad was
the subject of the greater part of the
inaugural address of Gov. David ].
Walsh at Boston, Mass, Thursday,
He said the road was in serious
straits and needed help, not only
from the legislature but also from
Its own stockholders.
The directors of the Boston &
Maine railroad announced that ar
agreement with the Maine Central
railroad had been effected, whereby
the latter road exchanged 100000
shares of its stock, purchased by the
Boston & Maine, for $40, 000,0 600 OF
its refunding consolidated mortgage
5 per cent fifty-year bonds. The au
thority for the issuing of the bonds
was voted by the Maine Central stock
holders and directors in 1911.
A statement issued says:

WILL NOT CALL EXTRA SESSION.

The late umo TO the effect that
Governor Oddie would call the legis-
lature to convene in extra session on
January 10 was disposed of by Gov
ernor Oddie in an interview publish
ed in the Reno Gazette. The COVER
mol is quoted as follows:
You may quote me as saying that
Mt the present time there is no occa-
sion to call an extra session of the
legislature. and have no idea OF
calling one.
THE question of electing a United
States senator at the next general
election, which is the only PROPOSE
ton that would impel the call of a
special session of the Legislature, is
now before the United States senate
and there are three bills pending in
congress which provide a means for
the election of a senator without
bringing the legislative machinery OF
any state into play at the present
time.
"Should congressional enactment
fail, 1t will then be time to talk about

GRAND JURY HEARS MOVER
DEPORTATION EVIDENCE

Charles H. Meyer, president of the
Western Federation of Miners, and
Charles Tanner, auditor of the or
ganization have told the grand jury
their versions of the deportation
episode of December 26. Less than
two hours we're consumed in the
grand jury room. The men then re-
turned to the same hotel in Hancock
avenue from whence they were taken
a fortnight ago.
No announcement as to the nature
of their testimony was Forthcoming
from any authoritative source and
they themselves declined to grant in
|teryiews.
Except for the fact that a big
crowd of union men greeted their
leader on his arrival at Houghton.
and stood about the hotel while
he was there no incident occurred to
recall the intense bitterness that pre-
Ieeeded the deportation. Both fedora
ton men were guarded by deputy
sheriffs and there was a general feel
ing that since they were under the
protection of the state OF
Michigan all signs of resentment
should be suppressed.
The men were met at Canning, the
first junction point in Michigan
reached by the train from Chicago.
by two deputies selected for their
fearlessness and reliability. Practi-
cally every step of Meyer and Tanner
was guarded by these men through
out the day and evening. Except for
their trips from the railroad station
to the hotel and the courthouse in
Houghton and back to Hancock, how
ever, the two men made no appear
'anee in public.
o. n. Hilton, chief of counsel of the
federation, met the party at the hotel
and went into conference with MS
clients. Victor Berger, former Mil
Iwaukee congressman, who is a mem
her of a committee from the national
Socialist party, vas admitted but
only after considerable wait. He
boarded the incoming train al
IHoughton, but failed to gain admis-
sion to the locked stateroom.
Governor Ferris and the head OF
the strikers union did not meet. The
governor left Houghton in an auto
mobile early in the afternoon and did
not return for several hours. Mean
while the federation men had com
pleted their visit in Houghton.

Over in Humboldt county they are
starting something. The grand jury
recently reported and among the
changes were recommendations that
the Lovelock jailor and W%innemueea
night Waterman and overseer of
county prisoners in Winnemueca be
discharged. Also, that the failure of
County Treasurer Bonnifield to make
his reports according to law. be re-
ported to his bondsmen for proper
action. Further, the report of the
grand jury, which is said to be the
most drastic ever rendered in Hum
boldt county, recommends that the
licenses of certain saloons be
revoked.

STILL HOPING FOR THE
DEEP CREEK RAILWAY,

Several hundred pounds of SPLEEN
did looking oxide ores have been sent
in from Deep Greek where a recent
strike was made in the Western PACT
fe Copper property located in the
Willow Springs district south Of Cliff.
ton and west of Callao. An assay
made at Salt Lake City, Wednesday.
of the ore gave the following re-
turns. Copper, pa per cent; lead,
23.S per cent and | ounce in silver.
The property is controlled by the VIII
son brothers of Salt Lake.
Frank L. Wilson, the manager, as
quoted by the Herald-Republican,
said the Western Pacific Copper is
opened by incline shaft which gives
about $50 feet of backs on this de-
post. The ore is from s to Is feet
wide In the vein, and has been cross
cut in two places seventy-five feet
apart. The ore is heavy in iron ind
m%alachite. In this block of ground
are two chains of linked caves, one
above the other. one of which Is at
least twenty feet wide and several
hundred feet long. Some fashlight
pictures show the caves hold immense
quantities of beautiful stalactites
and stalagmites. In places they make
a complete connection between the
limy ceiling and floor of the caves.
These caves seem to have been made
out from the assure into the more
soluble limestone and have their
bearing on the mineral deposits in the
vicinity.
The principal country rock in that
portion of the Deep Creek district is
~sedimentary, and is largely limestone.
This is cut by a number of prominent
parallel porphyry bikes which run in
a diagonal course across the main fis-
sures which are north-south. The
porphry is undoubtedly the min
eralizing agency, but in many in
stances the ore is found in the lime
stone some distance from the intru-
sives.
Mr.. Wilson says that years ago he
shipped some ore from this property
1t carried about 10 per cent copper
besides other values. At that time
the ore was teamed IT'S miles, but III
spite of the ruling high prices of met
ais there was little profit on
account of the excessive Transports
ton charge. At present 1t would pro
badly cost SIS a ton for the wagon
haul to Wendoyer, the nearest rail-
road point, sixty miles to the north.
Deep Creek people have hopes that
the proposed new branch line on the
Salt Lake route up to Delta will go on
toward Death canyon. Indian Springs
Fish Springs Dugway and Granite
and will ultimately be sent through
over the old survey to Gold Hill and
Ferbur.

FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS.

There are 10 cities in which the
bank clearings for the past IL
months have exceeded one billion
dollars each. 1t would not be prac-
ticable to take the first 8 or 10 of
these for the location of Federal Re-
serve banks, because geographical
considerations must be allowed some
weight. The convenience of the bust
ness OF the country must be consider
cd. But 1t is obvious hat the first
consideration must be the relative
amount of banking business that is
lone In the various cities, says the
Philadelphia Record.
In the list Of cities arranged in the
order of their clearings for II
months of 1918 Philadelphia ranks
third. 1t is exceeded only by New
York and Chicago. 1t hardly admits
of discussion that the four or five
largest cities in the country, fna-
ncially speaking, should have Fed
eral Reserve banks. That would
leave several of the new central fl
nancial institutions for cities to be
selected on account of their location,
though their business, as shown by
bank clearings, would not justify
giving them reserve banks.
The four cities having the largest
bank clearings are New York. Chi
cago. Philadelphia and Boston, San
Francisco ranks eighth, but, of
course, its location as the chief city
oil the Pacific coast demands that a
reserve bank should be located there.
We can hardly imagine hat two
would be put on the Pacific coast
when the bank clearings of all the
Pacific cities fall very much short OF
those of Philadelphia alone. Pitts
burgh and Kansas City outrank San
Francisco, and st. Louis ~outranks
both of them. But Chicago will have
a. 90 =. a,awontn1 aAntrn For thu
lake region and the upper Missis-
sippi Valley.
The c%learings at Denver were less
than half a billion, but a reserve
bank might be placed there on the
ground that commercial convenience
demands one between Chicago and
the Pacific coast. The south ought
TO have a couple of reserve banks, al.
though no city in that section has
bank clearings of a billion dollars.
New Orleans and either Louisville OF
Atlanta would seem to be the natural
locations for the southern reserve
centres.
If the minimum number of reserve
banks are to be placed 1t would seem
natural. therefore, that they should
be in New York, with Sc billions oil
c%learings; Chicago, with IA billions:
Philadelphia and Boston, each with
between seven and eight billions (all
selected because they are the great
financial centres of the country;)
Denver. with less than half a billion
