Railway Audit Co.
BY JOHN C. HENRY.

Counsel 1of the special senate COM
mittee investigating espionage and
coercion in labor relations disclosed
today that all efforts Of the commit
tee in the immediate future will be
concentrated on the objective Of OBJ
tanning Jail sentences for six ofIicials
of the Railway Audit & Transporta-

the Senate.
Meanwhile, Judge James NJ Proctor
in District Court continued indefinite
ly the order requiring five officials of
that company and four allied concerns
to show cause why they should not
be enjoined from turning their rec
ords over to the Senate probers.
At the same time, the court negoti.
ated an agreement between counsel
for the committee and the companies
that no further attempt to obtain
the contested records will be made
without reasonable notice both to the
court and to the companies.
Judge Proctor Acts.
Judge Proctors action was taken
after proceedings in which Commit
tee Counsel Robert B. Watts and John
j. Abt had appeared as friends of the
court and Alvin L. Newmyer appeared
on behalf of L. Douglas Rice, Official
of the companies, who was seeking
the injupction.
Committee counsel informed the
court as the hearing started that they
no longer desired appearance Of the
company officials or the contested
records, "at least until such time a.
it has been determined whether the
matter of their contumacy will be
presented to the grand jury for it
action"
In pleading for the injunction, New
myer complained the subpoenas fol-
the records were not specific, but were
"dragnet" subpoenas. Production oi

mittee, he said. would force the clos
ing of every Office of the company.
Asked by Judge Proctor If the COM
panies are averse to submitting rec
ords which they believe properly
within the investigative scope Of the
Senate, Newmyer said he thought they
would agree to such an arrangement
Cites Several Precedents.
Newmyer cited several precedents
for granting the requested Injunction
among them the case of Strawn vs.
Western Union, in which permanent
Injunction was given against turning
certain records of the telegraph COM

investigating lobbying activities.

Two Montana Mines Paw
Off Entire RFC Loans
In Year Of Operation

The two major Reconstruction Finance Corporation
loans for mining purposes in the State of Montana have been
paid off, according to of John E. Norton
gneer in charge of the mining division of the RFC Wash
ngton.
Loans obtained from the government agency finance
placer operations by Porter Brothers of Spokane and
Humphreys Gold corporation of Denver have been paid in
full in less than year of actual operation.
Porter Brothers secured loan of $4,000 for the
construction of dredge on Green Meadows north of the
city limits of Helena on January 2 1885 The operation did
not get under way until mdseason yet it is reported have
produced more than $500 of gold before the end of
the year By June of this year had produced enough to pay
off the oan despite the fact that the loan could have been
carried much longer time with very low interest rate
Humphreys Gold corporation secured loan of $25OOOO
on April 1885 This operation did get under way until
late fall yet able pay off its federal loan about
months after operations started.
These are the only two Glass A" loans authorized in
Montana There are some $4,000 development loans which
projects are barely getting under way.
So far as known the Montana operators are the first
in the nation to pay off REC mining loans in full.

new BOOK On
nine DESIGN
AIDS miners

One OF the most valuable hand
books in modern mining history
has Just been published by Mc<sraw-
Hill Book company of New York.
| It is called milne Plant Design
and was written by w. w. Staley
of the University of Idaho. It is
by no means a textbook but is a
practical treatise for the use and
guidance of the mining man who
contemplates a mine plant whether
with or without the advice OF a
consulting engineer.
It goes thoroughly into the sup
ject of beams, roof trusses, columns
and footing, describing construc-
ton Of headframes and the like and
deals with the selection of hOists,
the handling of water for mining
purposes, the development of COM
pressed air with charts on the
amount of air required by rock
drills at various attitudes; mine
haulage; power plants, including
Diesel type engines and cost tabu-
lation for power development. In
cidentally, those who study these
figures will not install Diesel power
with the idea of developing power
at a half cents per kilowat hour, as
is generally expected. Prof. Staley
figures a cost of 1.49 cents per
brake horsepower-hour, paying ~
cents per gallon for fuel.
Mine ventilation is the subject OF
a chapter, discussing the size of
airways and further tables OF fig
ures on power and other factors
required for ventilation.

HAx IN CONTROL
OF JARDIHE MINE

There was considerable discus
sion in mining circles this week
regarding the recent sale Of the
entire stock OF the Jardine Mining
company. Although the considera-
tion was not announced it is gem
orally understood that the price
paid was around the par value of
the stock. There are $4,000 shares
outstanding.
William H. Hax of New York
city, who acquired the control
stock, already had purchased $780,
600 shares, it is understood, and
he therefore needed $4,000 or
more shares additional to gain
control. This he purchased from
Harry Bacorn and e. Stifel. The
Jardine paid a dividend OF 10 cents
share in January. It is regarded
as one of the most promising mines
in the state.
Hax was formerly active in the
Basin Montana Tunnel Co. The Jar
dine mine is in southern Park
county near the boundary of Yellow
stone park, producing tungsten,
arsenic and gold. Harry Bacorn has
not announced his future plans.
