TAIN PROPERTY NEAR EMPIRE.
Active Operations for Silver to Begin IN
January, and at Present Prices
Locks Like Good Thing.

J. P. Parker, Byrd Wilson, Oscar An
derson. well known Denver printers. and
Thomas Webb, a practical miner OF
Georgetown. have just formed under the
laws OF Colorado, the Matrix Mines
company. The boys have a bonded
lease on the Prince Albert mines In
Columbia mountain, near Empire, Colo,
and also hold options on adjoining min
ing property.
They will begin active operations in
January, and with the price of silver
steadily climbing, think they have a
good thing. They expect to put out a
limited amount of stock among their
friends to help finance the proposition.

committee also found that fifteen re-
frigerator cars of the Colorado & South

perishable goods. Part of the shipments
the Paonia and other western slope fruit
districts where the growers have been
clamoring for refrigerator cars and could
not get them to ship their products to
market. Ten thousand bushels OF pota-
toes are rotting in the fields in the San
Luis district, said the committee, for
want Of cars to ship them to the con-
sumner.
A Delta fruit grower recently shipped
4.6 crates of peaches to Denver which
was a good part OF his crop. They
were billed to Denver commission
merchant and after the shipper had been
forced To submit to the high freight
rates and the juggling of Denver com
mission merchants a final settlement
disclosed that he owed 500 on the ship
ment. This shipment was allowed to
stand in the refrigerator cars in the
Denver yards ten days before being un-
loaded. then OF course the fruit was
spoiled and the shipper apparently had
no redress.
The committee concluded its report by
saying that these disclosures and 9th
ers that could be vOuched for apparently
furnished sufficient cause for a thoro
investigation being made by the federal
government. The committee has for
warded the evidence secured to the de-
partment OF justice, Washington, D. c.

publishers and others interested given
an opportunity TO appear. No date Is
set for the hearings, but the report is
said TO be almost ready for the press.
Certain facts developed by the IN
quiry are made public now, because most
OF the publishers contracts for paper are
about to expire. Contract prices rose
this year from less than 81 per 100
to $500 and $3.50, and on current mar
ket purchases the publishers have paid
800 or more for paper bought in the
same way year ago for between 500
and $500.

court agree to advance the hearings.
There are some forty cases already
assigned, many of them important cases,
specially advanced. Nevertheless. il is
generally expected that the railroad case
will be submitted before the court re-
cesses for the Christmas holidays on
December %
Under the court rules. printed briefs
must be filed by the government and
railroad counsel before argument, altho
special permission for later filing often
is granted.
Whether attorneys representing the
railroad brotherhoods will appear in the
supreme court hearings or file briefs Is
still undetermined.

night and was SO fast that Fitzsim-

Jim Corbett's best weight was 1877.
Corbett was nervous. high strung
fellow and never ran to fat He al
ways tried to build up instead of to re-

worker. and as he always trained for
speed he had a hard time putting flesh
on his bones.

few pounds he gained he paid dearly
