ARGUES FOR RAISE
IN WESTERN RATES
Grain, Live Stock, Meats, and
Fruits Do Not Yield Their
Share, Says T. J. Norton.

Arguments were continued by rep
resentatives OF Western railroads be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission today in their effort to OBJ
tain increases In freight rates on
grain and grain products. livestock,
meats. packing house oducts. fruits,
and vegetables.
Il. }. Norton, of Chicago. general
attorney for the Santa Fe, consumed
the entire morning session with an
argument designed to show that in
creases In these products are neces-
sarv because they lC not yield th"ir
fair share Of rail revenues.
Arguments made by the carriers ore
similar to those made in the Eastern
rate cases, that increasing expenses
and declining net revenues make ad-
ditional revenue imperative.
Clifford Thorne, OF Iowa, chairman
of a committee OF Western State rail-
road commissions, assailed the argu-
r,ents made by the roads. insisting
that because the commission had
granted increases in the East II did
rot follow that rates should be in
creased in the West. Mr.. Thorne de-

NEW LIGHT ON WHY
NEARING WAS OUSTED
Pennsylvania University Trus-
tee Quotes Remark Alleged
to Have Been Professors.

PHILADELPHIA, June 23.-National
pressure by academic circles and alumni
upon the University of Pennsylvania
trustees for a statement on the Nearing
case has been practically needed.
One trustee, John c. Bell. has issued
statement and in 1t mentions one
cause why Nearing was dropped. He
says the silence was broken only be-
cause the public and alumni were be-
ginning to misintcrpret the principles
involved.
This cause, Rell explained, was when
Nearing said, "If l had a son / would
rather sec him in hell than have him
go to the Episcopal Academy"
The comment on the charge today wss
widespread. 1t was generally under
stood to have clinched the impression
that Nearing was dismissed solely be-
cause Of his free speech attitude. In
defense Of Nearing, Harrison s. Nor
ris. leader Of the protestants, asserted
that the ousteG professor uttered the
remark In private and not in a class
room or public meeting.

SALTESE SECTION.
Good Results Follow Mining Activity
in That Vicinity.

After passing through an ore shoot
70 feet in length, the drift from the
Heuloek shaft now appears to be en-
tering another shoot The drift has
been extended about 500 feet and has
q depth from the surface of 400 feet,
Much milling ore has been disclosed
and even better results are expected
from the ore that is now coming in.
The work of unwatering the TarboX
Is now under way. The new machin-
cry is working in good shape and it is
expected that work will go forward
without interruption, and in a few
weeks the mine will be ready to re-
sumo work underground

tese that the electric power line from
Thompson Fails to the Milwaukee will
come down Packer creek If this proves
true 1t win bring power within easy
reach of the mining companies now
operating along that creek and prov,

NORTHERN PACIFIC ENGINEERS WORKING
IN NINE M|LE---MAY BUILD TO BEAVER
THREE ENGINEERS THE WEEK-THEIR MOVE
MENTs MATTER OF MUCH lNTEREsT-lNTERsTATE.
CALLAHAN WANTS RAY. JEFFERSON

Closely following the recent confer
ence in this city between the traffic
manager of the O.-W. r. & N with
officers of the Interstate Callahan
company, which is believed to have re-
suited in an understanding involving
the building of a branch line up Beaver
creek by the time the mining company
is ready to deliver ore on that side of
the divide, the Northern Pacific sud
denly became interested in finding a
feasible route across the divide at the
head of Nine Mile which separates 1t
from Beaver creek. A viewer looked
over the ground, took note of the min
ing claims that would possibly cover
the right of way, and probably made
a rough estimate Of the grade TO be
overcome and the approximate length
of tunnel to be driven. 1t Is assumed
that this railroad trail blazer made a
report that interested the powers that
be at ST. Paul for last Monday after
noon three engineers quietly dropped
into town and just as quietly dropped
out again the next morning, heading
up Nine Mile. and they are still there
or on the Beaver creek side; at least
they have not returned to this city.
/ What Are They Doing Up There?
Railroad engineers as a rule do not
take the public into their confidence
and their movements always afford q
most interesting field for speculation
These three are not exceptions to the
rule, and in the absence of any defin-
ite information, The Miner can only
speculate on what they are doing. II
has been suggested that they are en-
deavoring to locate a line for the ex
arack mill to the Interstate Callahan
mill, but this theory can not be ac-
cepted in view of the certainty that 1t
is only q question Of time when the
Interstate Callahan will have its out
let on the north side and that the Nor
thern Pacific has all the tonnage as at
present situated.
with that theory dismissed there
seems to be only one other purpose of
sufficient Importance to bring three
special engineers to Nine Mile, and
that is to find a feasible route across
or through the divide to Beaver creek,

THE IDAHO-NEVADA.
Special Committee of Stockholders
Submits Report.

opeClal Nonnlttee VI oeOSN'iS'SS'S .
Submits Report.
The special committee appointed at
the recent meeting of stockholders of
the Idaho-Nevada Exploration com
pany for the purpose of verifying the
report of the manager and make a
complete audit of the books of the
company submitted its report few
days ago, copy of which has been
mailed to all stockholders The COM
mittce was composed of Chris Ander-
son, Joseph Peila and e. r. Turk Tho
committee personally inspected the
mine and all property of the company,
and in auditing the books the commit
tee secured the services of A. H. Fox,
of the firm of Surdival & Fox.
The report of the committee on the
condition at the mine, including build
ings, equipment and work accomplish
cd underground checked generally with
4 the report of Manager w. b. Lively
with the exception of the shaft. This
was found to be 65 feet and inches
deep, whereas it had been reported 81
feet deep. This discrepancy is ex-
plained by Mr.. Lively in the fact thai
he never measured the shaft, but sim
ply accepted the statement of origina
owners that 1t was 65 feet deep wher
he began sinking and in making his
report he simply added the additiona
,depth to the figures named.
The books of the company wer'
found to be correct in every particular
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1915-02-18

and that is believed to be the job that
mysterious engineers. Parties most
familiar with that section believe that
the most desirable route viii be found
by following the west side of the west
fork to the head Of Nine Mile as far up
as a practical grade will permit and
from there tunnel through, probably
down to Beaver creek, OF course this
would probably involve some difficult
engineering problems and a heavy ex-
pense for construction, but the rapid
ity with which that section is devel-
oping and the enormous tonnage 1t Is
certain to produce for a long period OF
years undoubtedly Justifes the un-
dertaking.
While what Is here said is largely
conjecture, there are nevertheless facts
of great significance and which are
believed to warrant the conclusion that
the Northern Pacific Is seeking q route
across the divide. 1t Is a matter Of
great importance to the district, and
particularly to the people Of Wallace,
and developments will be watched with
great interest.
Interstate Callahan Wants Ray -Jeffer.
son.
Another highly interesting bit of
news in connection with the big min
ing operations about Sunset is that
the Interstate Callahan has made
nvertures to purchase the Ray-Jeffer-
son, the big group and coming big
mine Joining the Callahan on the west
Up to date however the Ray Jefferson
has manifested no reciprocatng inter
est in the deal, the owners of that
property apparently being satisfied
with the showing they have made and
abundantly able to place the property
in productive stage. The fact that
the Interstate Callahan wants this
property IS further evidence that 1t Is
getting in shape to do business on the
Beaver creek side The Ray-Jeffer-
son has 81 claims and a fine mill sit
at the old town of Carbon, and, a.
heretofore stated in this paper, it Is
rapidly being developed into produc-
tive mine and it is not improbabl&
that a mill will be under construction
before the summer is far advanced.

THE LAST CHANCE.
Old High Grade SaItese Mine That
Coninu Back.

Old T1I9n 1Faue OaltSSe "H'e 'HaN -
Coming Back.
Old-timers will recall when the Last
Chance mine, on Packer creek, nea
Saltese, Mont, was known as a littl'
bonanza and in truth it was. 1t had {
shoot of rich silver ore which wa
mined, sorted and shipped by the or.
iginal owners, being hauled over {
wagon road to the railroad at Saltese
1t is said that these miners CLEANED
up several hundred thousand dollar
and they continued to work the min
until the increasing cost in connectio
with the declining price of silver tool
away the profits For good man
years the property has been idle, II
the meantime the ground adjoining the
Last Chance on the east formed the
basis of organizing the Ben Hur Min.
ing company which drove tunnel Z
the vein, but did not find the rich ore
This tunnel is about 800 feet below th'
old Last Chance workings, and a few
months ago the Last Chance peopl'
effected an arrangement with the Ber
Hur company under which they ar,
drifting on the vein to catch the bo
nanza ore shoot of years ago. Recen
reports from the operations state tina
there is now about s inches of higl
grade silver ore in the face and tn
amount is steadily increasing. Prob
ably 500 feet remains to be run to ge
under the old workings. which woul,
indicate that the ore shoot is mucl
longer than above.
