Spokane, Wash., Sept. 28.—It is ex pected that President Taft in this city today will deliver his speech on con servation. It was his intention to speak on this subject in Denver. Since leaving Colorado he has had confer ences with Secretary Balllnger, and Chief Forester Pinchot and it is ex« pected that the differences which caus ed these aids of the administration to see one another without speaking in Salt Lake City will be discussed by their chief. Attired in a linen duster, an old black slouch hat and swinging an elcc trlc lantern at his side, the president was locked in a narrow iron cage and dropped 1,200 feet through midnight blackncss into the depths of the famous Old Leonard copper mine at Butte. He had the rare experience of seeing miners at work with a giant drill in a vein of high grade ore that sparkled green with' its wealth of mineral. Close to Mine Fire. During his journey through the mine the president was within seventy-five feet of a fire which has been burning for four years and which has defied all efforts to extinguish it. Taft walked with a limp when he first got off the train at Anaconda, the result of a sprained tendon In his right foot. The sprain was acquired at Beverly, but this was the first time it bothered him. The injury is not seri ous. At Butte the president was pre sented with a full sized golf club—a driver—made of copper, silver and gold, the three nietals that have made the Butte camp famous. On the head of the driver the following inscription was engraved: William Howard Taft, Champion 1909-1913—and then some." In his remarks at Butte the presi dent said: Mentions His 300 Pounds. 'To come out to this awful looking desert from the green fields of the east and see a city spring up like magic out of what is seemingly nothing, is a revelation in the hosslbillties of Ameri can manhood and American energy. I am going to visit your city under ground. I am going to assume that you have a rope that is strong enough to let down 300 pounds.
