This ore shoot has now been opened
on the 300, 500, 500 and 1OOO-foot
levels.
Plans for development during the
coming year include sinking Wine
on the vein from the 1900 to the
1900 level. and both the Nevada
Wonder ore shoot and the Wonder
Extension ore shoot will be explored
from this winze.
The combined mining and milling
costs for the past year were 1894
per ton, as against $735 per ton the
previous year The increased oper-
ating costs for the year are accounted
for by the greater amount of develop
ment work done and the larger dis
lance through which the broken rock
had to be trammed. The profit per
ton for the past year was 1852, as
against $685. the previous year.
A statement of the combined assets
and liabilities of the company and
its subsidiary milling company on

thirty-five years.
To protect more carefully the prop

fighting system and so improved its
methods of inspection that the result
is fewqer fires, and railroad employees
now eXtinguish many fires which for

losses.
AS showing the steady improv ement
in efficiency, in 1908 the company's
employees extinguished ga fires out
of a total of 1897 which occurred
on railroad property. In 1909, out of
929 fires the railroads own men put
out 32l. This steady increase in the
efficiency of the fire-fghting brigade
was further developed last year by
special training of employees. as well
as by the efforts of the insurance de-
partment of the railroad to bring to

Unexpected circumstances precent-

Of Cornelia Armstrong to Donald Mes

marrying except the refusal of the
mother TO sign the marriage applica-

The tender age OF the girl and the
fact that hester is about to enter on

keep him in prison for a period of OF
two to twenty-one years. is the cause
of the disapproval of many to the

WEEGHMAN STRIKES
: CHICAGO WITH S.
Big Appetite Helps Along
Windy City Restaurant
Owner.
IN STMENTS BIG
Gets So Weekly on First Job,
Now Owns Chicago
Federals.

Just about twenty years ago Char
ley Weeghman blew into Chicago from
Richmond with a five-dollar gold piece
and whale OF an appetite. Today
Charles M. Weeghman has an income
OF 100000 year, or, to use his own
words, my investments are worth
ten per cent on $1,000.000." He is
owner of ten restaurants, one theatre,
a billiard hall, president Of a coal
company, president of the Chicago
Federal League baseball club, and a
highly esteemed resident of Chicago's
elite. With the assistance Of two large
automobiles and chauffeur he man
ages to get back and forth between
his palatial residence and his several
Offices. j..
Hard work. good judgment. COM
mon sense and bunch of cast iron
nerve have been the factors Of turn
ing fve-dollar gold piece into a
million, for if Mr. Weeghman were to
sell his present holdings he would
gather in quite bit in excess Of a mil
lion sheckels.
Liked Bright LIehts.
Il came here back in '93 to see the
worlds fair" said Weeghman in a
recent interview regarding his re-
markable success II liked the ex-
citement and the bright lights SO we'll
that l decided then and there Chica-
go was the place for mo.
Il was all het up about it when I got
home, and told the folks that it was
the Windy City for me. They did not
offer any strenuous objection. for there
were six children, and dad was only a
blacksmith. I left the old burg and
landed in Chicago"
Weeghman's first Job was as waiter
In a restaurant where he received
the princely sum Of IS per week. Then
he became manager of newly Or
ganized baking powder concern The
baking powder game interested him
for two years, during which time he
accumulated enough wealth to set up
in business for himself He then
opened UP his first restaurant at
Adams street and Fifth avenue With
careful forethought and eighteen
hours Of hard work each labor day
the venture proved a huge success. AS
fast as Weeghman made his money
he put 1t into more restaurants. He
never had failure, his excellent
judgment and ability to pick the right
location making each venture a sue
cess.
The latest venture of Mr.. Weegh-
man is the Federal League, he be-
ing president of the local club of that
organization Just to show an eX-
ample of his nerve, friends state that
if the league is a failure. Weeghman
will stand to lose s250,000 in hard
cash

TELLS CONNECTION
OF SON WITH DANCE
Pastor Explains Son With
draws From Proposed
New Ball.

The Rev Mr.. S. r. Lyons, pastor
of Reid Memorial church, took Occa-
sion during the preliminary services
at the tabernacle last night to ex-
plain his sons connection with a pro-
posed dance in hlchmond. An account
Of this was published in the Palla-
dunn Thursday evening.
Il wish to make word of personal
explanation" he said. 'In the Palla-
dunn Of last evening was printed an
article telling how two young men
were preparing for a dance. One of
these men is my son. And l am quite
sure that neither the paper nor the
boys thought or considered how this
would reflect on men or this taber-
nacle campaign. You may be quite
sure | knew nothing of it. If ] had,
the thing would not have been
planned.
when my son first realized what
a light it would put his father and
this campaign in, he eagerly with
drew from it entirely. In no sense
whatever will ever stand sponsor
for the dance AS for me and
my house, we will serve the Lord |
could not serve the Lord and sup
port thing like the dance. I do not
say because l do not know that the
dance injuries everybody. No doubt
many innocent young people dance,
But | do not know that all who dance
remain innocent.
Behind this tabernacle campaign
and all it's utterances I stand whole
heartedly. | believe that all its party
are men and women of God.
my son has absolved himself by
severing all connection with this af
fair as published. | believe | would
dishonor Jesus Christ if I myself en-
gagged in any way in the dance. And
/ don't see why any Christian would
want to engage in a thing in which
he wouldn't want his pastor to par
ticipate Young folks would disown
me if l went onto the ballroom floor
but why haven't I as good right
as they?"

EVADES REFERENCE
TO TOLL QUESTION

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81. The
treaty with Great Britain was report
ed without reference to it's effect on
free Panama Canal toll by the senate
committee on foreign relations. The
committee left this question to the en-
tire Senate to decide whether the
ratification of the new arbitration
treaty would further involve the Unit
ed States in the arbitrament of the toll
question. The action indicated that
the question of toll may be removed
from the field of controversy by an act
suspending the free tolls provision,
and compelling American coast wise
vessels to pay temporarily at least
the same tolls as foreigners
