HAUL HEAVY TRAINS
BY ELECTRIC POWER
MILWAUKEE, ELECTRIC TRAINS
NOW RUNNING TO ALBERToN
CLOSING GAP TO AVERY.

The Chicago Milwaukee & st. Pau
Railway company has added Ito mile.
to its electrically equipped and oper.
ated lines in Montana between Deer
Lodge and Alberton, bringing the elee-
trified mileage to 1886. Work on the
fourth and last unit between Alberton
and Avery, Idaho, is being completed
and when ready, about the first of the
year, the Milwaukee will have 44C
miles of electric line in operation
across the Rocky mountains, $3.50 feet
high, the Bitter Root, 1920 feet high
and the Belt mountains, 5,76S feet
above sea level. Already the results
obtained in Montana foreshadow vast
developments in steam road electrified
ton throughout the world.
Greater comforts and better service
for passengers, less arduous tasks for
railroad employees and commercial
benefits for the country through which
the line passes have resulted from
electrifcation.
Is Tremendous Success.
liberalization has been such a tre-
mendous success that it is difficult to
state the results without seeming ex-
aggeration, but l can say that the Mil
waukee has forgotten that the contin-
entail divide exists" declared C. A.
GoodnoW, assistant to the president in
a recent interview in Chicago. "On
a two per cent grade over the Rockies
the electric locomotives haul ten or
eleven steel passenger cars at speed
varying from 20 to Is miles an hour,
and on these same grades with one
helping engine, $500 ton freight trains
are hauled.
THE winter of 1914-1915 was a
memorable one for Montana. There
We're long periods in the Rocky noun
tain district when the thermometer
stood as low as 40 degrees below
zero. 1t was almost impossible to
move trains by steam locomotives, but
the electric engines were ready and al
ways be able to do the maximum work.
High Speed Possible.
On a two per cent mountain grade
it is necessary to let a steam propelled
train gather speed and then apply air
brakes to check it, Then it is again
allowed to accelerate and is again
checked to a grinding of brakes and
jolting of cars. With the regenerative
braking a speed of 80 miles an hour
is maintained down the entire grade
without a jar or jolt Reversed, the
motors become dynamos, and mechani-
cal energy developed by the train
down grade is turned into electrical
energy. The current gathered on the
down grades is turned back into the
trolley wires. On level tracks the cleo
trio engines easily reach 60 miles an
hour.

PARCEL POST TO JARBlDGE.
Nevada Mining Camp and Its Big
Parcel Post Business.

Two tons of oats consigned by a To-

held up by Postmaster M. Stronk Mon
day morning, acting according to rules
contained In new department. order
received Sunday. According to the
new order, the shipment from one SEN
der to one addressee in one day is
limited to zoo pounds. The rate still
remains, however, one cent per pound,
plus four cents for each separate
package.
AS a means of curtailing the excess
siVe use of the mail for freight ship
ments to the Nevada camp. the new
order comes just in the nick of time
as the past few weeks have seen the
parcel post business to that town grow
by leaps and bounds. Last week these
shipments included such convenient
I little articles as four tons of black
smith coal. several tons of hay done up
in split bales and wrapped in burap,
roofing material, cement and flour.
One mining company is reported to
have said that they individually re-
ceived by means of Uncle Sans deli

rails in the few weeks, while it is a
known fact that there have been as
high as twelve four horse teams on the
road between Rogerson and Jarbidge at
one time, all carrying nothing but mail
matter, and at the same time a number
of auto trucks were engaged in the
same work.

BUTTE & SUPERIOR.
Reduction In Earnings Due To Drop In
Price of Spelter.

The principal factor in cutting down
the earnings of Butte & Superior from
$2,062, 029 for quarter ended June 30,
to $947.s01 for quarter ended Septem-
Der 80, was fact that average price
for spelter cropped from 114l cents
per pound. to S.34 cents, shrinkage
OF over cents per pound, This figure
compares with high point of l6 cents
reached in the second quarter, and is
the lowest average price received since
the first quarter of 1915. In the mean
time owing chiefly to the high price
for labor and materials, the total cost
per ton has advanced from S4S6 to 81,
an increase of 4403 per cent. At the
present spelter is selling 2 cents a
pound above the average price for last
quarter.

GOLD IN AUSTRALIA.
How and When the Precious Metal
Was First Discovered.

was o. DISCONVIGOs
For 80 years the memory of piece
of gold-studded ore haunted Richard
Greaves, a famous west Australian
prospector, who has died lately. 1t
was in western Australia, where he
arrived in 1885, that Dick" Greaves
allowed the gold fever to get into his
veins.
For two years after his arrival he
prospected, off and on, for gold before
it's existence was definitely known in
the state. He brought $4,000 in cash
to western Australia and the greater
part of that money was spent in
prospecting work. 1t was a sample of
stone, named Bearers stone, that sent
him on his wanderings.
He was shown the stone among 9TH
ers, shortly after his arrival in the
state, and he tested it, and thereupon
decided to find Beare and locate the
place where the stone could be OBJ
tanned He never found Beare, nor
did he find any more of Bearers stone.
To find gold in any stone however,
Greaves and his companion, Ted Paine
went out on their lonely prospecting
trips. Success was denied them on
several expeditions, but in October,
1887, they were rewarded, for in that
month they discovered the first gold.
The story of the great find is simple
and, told in his own words, is as fol-
lows:
"As water was getting scarce, and
the country very dry, our work on that
trip became a quest for water instead
of gold We got to a clay pan, but the
water was thick and Shiny. We had
to set to and pull the dead kangaroos
out.
1--WE had decided to leave the dray
and take the horses and test the coun-
try round. 1t was the best bit of coun-
try we had seen for prospecting, and
so we struck it. Ted Paine struck a
floater with speck of gol din it. To
find where it came from was the next
move. On October % came upon the
reef, and we took a lot of stone out
with gold hanging to it." From that
beginning the mining industry sprang
into first rate Importance

MARKET CONDITIONS
POLITICS FORGOTTEN
PUBLIC is IN A BUYING FRAME OF
MIND - GOLD IMPoRTA--
TONS MAY CEASE.

Politics is soon forgotten in times
like these and business conditions
are not disturbed for any consider
able time Hayden, Stone & Co, in
their weekly market letter, say of gen.
eral market conditions:
large a turnover of stocks with such
inconclusive results as has been seen
this week The tendency has been
unmistakable; the public is in the
market and is anxious to buy. Only
the uncertainty of the result and the
disposition, probably, on the part of
the larger interests to take profits,
has kept the market within bounds.
One thing in connection with the
political situation that has not as yet,
ben much emphasized, is of rather
a reassuring nature, namely: The
membership of the next congress will
be so evenly divided between the two
leading parties that there is little
probability of any such radical legis-
lation as passed the last session.
Probably domestic politics will soon
be forgotten as market factor
No Surplus Grain.
"The government report again brings
to mind that we shall have very little
surplus grain this year Ordinarily,
this would be an important factor, but
this is a most extraordinary year.
Munitions and war materials will more
than make up for grain shortage, so
far as our international economic re-
lations are concerned, out they cannot
make up for this shortage in the
earth's produrtion at time when it
is so badly needed.
"a tendency that is beginning to
make itself felt is a falling off from
what might be expected in the way
of net profit; volnme of business con-
tinhes at a high percentage, but cur
rent figures, particularly of railroad
earnings, show that the higher cost
of labor and materials is playing havoc
with net income.
Bonds In Lieu of Gold
Recent interviews make it seem
probable that an influence, which we
suggested in a recent letter, is likely
before long, to play quite an important
part. We allude to the probability
of the cessation, wholly or in part, of
gold imports and the probability that
the large exporting companies will
have OF take a considerable part of
their pay in foreign government bonds
The security of such bonds cannot be
doubted but their security is not the
point in question; the point Is, if COM
panies take part of their pay in bonds
they will have less cash to distribuet
in dividends. Now, a man cannot
buy stocks with the profit retained in
his company's treasury, though this
profit may be in the form of perfectly
good bonds. On the other hand, the
profit is there and, in sense, is adding
to the value of the stock. The effect
that this influence may have on prices
is an interesting speculation; on the
one hand, it means, perhaps, further
initiation, and initiation is almost a
synonym for higher prices. On the
other hand, if it reaches a point
where it affects the money rates, it's
influence will be very quickly felt For
the time being, it is purely academic
question, but it is quite possible that
another six months will see it a real
market factor

them chaff, until you split your sides
in half; and watch those blokes, play
wicked jokes, upon some unsuspect-

in, to make you ,squeal and smile and

It's fine to sit and watch the rings,
that hold so many, many things, with
horses here and horses there; ana
pretty girls. with golden curls, per-
forming scary mid-air whirls. and driv
