Claims of Mr.. Thorne.

Mr. Thorne claims:
First, the tentative prices es-
tablished by MIR. Peabody's committee
last week averages more taan 100 per
cent greater than the prices .o1 the
same coal at the same markets one
year ago.
Second. the tentative prices agreed
to by Mr. Peabody's committee last
week. which have been heralded as
great reductions. are from so to 100
per cent greater than many coal COM
panies have voluntarily contracted
their output to the railroads for the en-

months.
The New York Central. at the re-
quest of counsel for the shippers in the
Is per cent case. filed the prices pro-
vided in it's contracts for coal during
the year 1917. There are twelve such
contracts. The highest price provided
in any one of the contracts Is lower
than the lowest price named by the
Peabody committee. The average 1917
price ON coal Gncluding overlapping
contracts and new contracts) for the
New York Central is below 81 per ton.
Contracts 81 Ton.
This spring the Norfolk and Western

Of whichywas for more than 81 per ton

. tary of the Navy declined to approve

States government
'-Tnud, We have the average prices at
which the coal operators of Indiana have
been selling their product during the past
lew months, and we find the prices estab-
lished by the committee are over so per
cent greater than the actual prices aver
aged in any one of the past six months,
UP to and including April, 1917.
Fourth If by ony chance these Pea
body prices should be accepted ultimately
by this government as fair and reason
able it will mean that the fuel bill of the
American people throughout the ensuing
year will be more than seven hundred mil
lion dollars greater than that Of last
yea.
Would Include Metals.
Sir. Thorne insists that the Congress
should lodge with the federal trade COM
miSs.ion adequate power to fix prices on
coal and included metals as well in the
recommendation. for the protection of the
government in its var program. He says,
further:
1T is true that some of these prices in
the eastern district are substantially less
than the current market quotations on
what is called free coal. not subject to
contract. This free coal constitutes ordi-
raEily very small percentage of the out
put of mine. In the Indiana fields re-

largest mines in the district had only

would make the fuel bill of the Amer
lean people S700.000,0O0 greater this
year than last year. The prices pro-
posed were tentative, pending re-

INTERIOR CAMPS WILL SPEND A
 LARGE SUM
Volney Richmond Says Big Gold Yield Is Certain in Many
 Districts.

DAWSON, June 12.-By mail )-- Seattle will receive more than $6,- 100000 in gold from Interior Alaska placer camps this year. This does not include the $3,0o0,000 which will come from the placers near Dawson.
 Volney Richmond, superintendent of the N c. posts and mail routes in the North, who arrived here from the Lower Yukon on the steamer Panama, gives a review of the pros- pective gold yield of various placer camps of the Yukon vallew this year. He says:
 According to the best advices ob- tainable thus far, the gold yield for the year 1917 in the Panama valley,
 including the Tolovana, Hot Springs. and Fairbanks districts, should az gregate approximately $3,000.G09. The Ruby district, I estimate will pro duce something like $S00,000 The Koyukuk yield will be $175,00O to s2OO,000. The Iditarod camp will take out $1,50O,000 or thereabouts. The Marshal camp, near the mouth of the Yukon, will produce perhaps $500, 900. The Rampant, Circle and other such old camps will produce comparatively little this year.
