The ——e——— ney of Whitney, Stephenson & Co. of this LONDON, Sept. 5.—Probate has been grant- ed for the late James McNell Whistler's estate, velued at §50,000, ° city undertakes to deliver for cash a con- | trolling Interest in the Monongahela River Consolidated Coal and Coke Company to | the Pittsburg Coal Company. The trans- | fer of control will be through the pur-| chase for cash of a majority of the capi- | tal stock, deliverable in either common ! or preferred shares, or both. The Monon- | gahela River Consolidated Coal and Coke | Company is capitalized at $40,000,000 and its output last year approximated 6,000,000 tons of coal. The combination of inter- ests will represent a total of $132,000,000 and the tonnage close to 25,000,000 tons. George 1. Whitney, who engineered the etock transaction, denied that it presaged a merger of the companiesand said what- ever would be done in that line could not be until November 1. At that time it was probably the plan to have the companies operated under practically one manage- ment or dictation, which could be done to mutual advantage. They would maintain their individuality, however, as both com- panies operated in different flelds. A story is current to the effect that the big deal just announced is but the fore- runner of one that is gigantic in com- parison. It is said the Pennsylvania Railroad has secured practical control in the Pittsburg Coal Company, and this, with the control of the river coal combine through the Pittsburg Coal Company, will give the Pennsylvania Railroad control of one-fourth of the total output of bitu- minous coal in the entire State of Penn- sylvania. As a railroad, by law, is not allowed to operate any coal mines, the holdings will be transferred to the Pitts- burg Coal Company, which will operate the property —_—————— Railroad Superintendent Is Dead.

Labor Day Celebration Not to Be Disturbed by Troops. sl DENVER, Sept. 5.—A special to the News from Cripple Creek, Colo., says the usual Saturday night crowds were on the streets to-night and it was as peaceable as usual. A member of the Mine Owners' Association said to-night: | The miners will now be given an opportu- nity to work and in the event of their refusal miners will be imported into the camp. The mine owners are determined to start up their mines and they will do so. Union or non-union men will not be discriminated against. They il have to g0 back under the agreement of 1804 Labor day will be celebrated by the miners on Monday as usual, notwith- standing the presence of the troops. COLORADO SPRINGS, Sept. 5.—The State military forces which were or- dered to the Cripple Creek district yes- terday afternoon by Governor J. H. dier General Chase and Adjutant General Bell pitched camp about three-quarters morning near the Stratton Independence mine. In all there are now about 1000 equipped militiamen in camp and others have been ordered to the scene of the trouble by Brigadier General Chase, including one cavalry from Meeker, olo. By to-morrow morning the military forces will have been increased to upward of 1200 men. Everything has been quiet in the Crip- great mining district since the early part of the week. Last night military picket posts were sta- tioned all along the line of the Colorado Midland Rallroad from Divide to Cripple Creek as a precautionary measure against any attempt that might be made to blow up the trains carrying arms and supplies | VICTOR, Sept. 5.—A mass meeting, at- tended by several thousand citizens of Victor, was held this afternoon. The speakers were strong in their denuncia- tion of Governor Peabody’s action in sending the troops to the district, but counseled | their hearers to treat the sol- diers with consideration and respect. Res- olutions were adopted declaring that mis- representation was employed in inducing the Governor to send troops to the district and condemning the Governor's action as | “‘unwarranted by the facts and anarchis- | tic in its inception, spirit and conse- quences.” The resolutions declare that the Cripple Creek district is as peaceable as any in the country, and protest against the in- | establishment of martial law. —_————— CORONA CLUB OPENS DOORS TO MANY INVITED GUESTS | Interesting Programme, Including a | Lecture on Rembrandt, Fol- lowed by Luncheon. At the first of the fall meetings of the Masonic Hall there were present many guests, it belng an open meeting. The soprano solo by Miss Wadsworth. She was followed by President Cullinan of OFFIGIALS GIVE GOUNTY FIGURES Equalizers Hear State- ments of Interior Assessors. —— Conditions in Modoc, Ama- dor and Calaveras Are Described. R e SACRAMENTO, Sept. 5.—Suv¢rvl!or" John Fritz of Modoc County was the only | representative of that county before the | State Board of Equalization this morn- | ing. Modoc is a stock-raising county, although the price of stock is depreci- | ating. The principal grain grown is ;wheat. twenty bushels to the acre. This | year the yield was not up to that of | former years. There has not been much |new property added to the assessment | roll. The assessment on all town prop- | erty was increased and there was an in- | | crease on every class of property. In| | 1902 the assessed valuation of Modoc | | County was $3,216,423. This year it is $4,076,680. Generally speaking the county is in a prosperous condition. Amador County was represented by | Assessor John Marchant and other | county officials. The Assessor said the | condition of the mining industry in Am- | ador County is not encouraging. There | is only one dividend-paying mine in op- eration. The Kennedy mine has not | paid any dividends in the last three | years. Last year the mine was assessed | for $114,000." This year it is assessed | for '$155,000. The Argonaut has been idle since its litigation with the Ken- | nedy mine, although it won the suit. The Argonaut mine is assessed for be- tween $50,000 and $60,000. | Labor conditions are much disturbed | on account of strikes among the miners. | The town of Jackson is aependent on the mines. Whenever a strike occurs busi- | ness becomes paralyzed. The dispute | between the Western Federation miners and the American Federation of Labor has had something to do with the un- settled condition of Amador County. | Should any more strikes occur the af- fected mines will close down perma- nently. There has been a decrease of 100 in the school census. Timber land is al- most inaccessible. There are seventy vacant houses in Sutter Creek on ac- count of the closing down of some of the mines. Amador's assessment in 1902 was $4,498,930. The assessment for this vear is $4,796,533. Calaveras County was represented by Assessor W. M. Nuner Jr. and other of- | ficlals. Its assessment last year was $5,5567,900. This year's assessment is $5,972,125. The Assessor said that some Assessors claimed, judging from the | newspaper reports, that over 25 per cent | of the mortgages are assessed for less than their face value. If such is the| case, said Assessor Nuner, the money lenders are surely not good busingss men, else they would not loan more than the market value to the holders of such | property, nor can he understand why 25 per cent of the mortgages should not be | assessed at the cash value, for in Cala- veras County there are only fye mort- gages assessed at less than the face | value and they are mortgages given un- der peculiar circumstances. —_—— STRANGER FALLS ASLEEP IN PARK AND IS ROBBED George Nalley of Windsor Suspects ! Two Men He Met on Grant Avenue of Crime. George Nalley, a visitor from Windsor, the Mission Park Association, who asked | the ladies of the club to use their influ- ence with their voting friends to vote | for Mission Park, “for,” said he, “to use | the words of Rev. Father Crowley, ‘the Supervisors have given the Mission the County Hospital, the dog pound, the pest- house and the almshouse; now we want | something nice.’ ” The Misslon district, | ing population and its wishes ought to be respected. Miss Reed then sang a contralto solo, Mr. Rader deliv- ered a most Interesting lecture on Rem- brandt, describing his splendid Dutch | conscientiousness and devetional spirit. He spoke of his early life, his place among the painters of the world and cited that his merit was not appreclated until after his death, for while he died a poor man, one of his pictures after hy death sold for $31,000. The lecturer then described a number of Rembrandt's paint- ings, such as “The Rainstorm on a Sum- mer Day,” “Jesus Preaching to the Mul- titude” and others, saying that in his| works he developed the poetry of the | commonplace and was the artist of thnj ordinary. The programme closed with two numbers by Miss Greeniger, ‘“Thou Art to Me” and ‘Love Is a Bubble,” af- | ter which the members and guests ad- journed to the banquet hall, where a dain- ty luncheon was served.
