an acceptance, was a departure from the legal rate and that it is

HELENA, Mout., Oct. 11. The Record today publishes a story
to the effect that numerous Montana and Washington investors
have been mulcted to the extent ,of more than a third of a mil-
lion dollars through the discovery that certain placer mines 'near
LaiiderV Wyo., had been salted and that the property is worthless.
Thomas L. Greenough of Missoula, and J. F? Greenough of Spo-
kane, who were the prime movers In the organization, have noti-
fled all investors that they will redeem all stock at the price paid,
thus assuming the loss. The discovery that the property was salt-
ed was due to an independent examination conducted by Speaker .
E. W. King of the Montana legislature, and J. E. Neill Qf Spokane,
heavy prospective Investors, who found, after removing a few
inches of shaft walls that the ground was valueless as were the
'"'tailfngs, although all previous experiments showed values ranging
from 90 cents to $98 a yard.' A Chicago firm was so Impressed with
the future of the property that they offered the Greenoughs $2,-
aOOyOOOjfoit their- Interest, but it was rejected. Water not being
available, work had been started from either end of a tunnel
through the mountain so that the flow of the Pophoagie river
might be Aitflizefl The discovery has created the biggest senna-.
tion in the history of Northwest mining.

NEW YORK, Oct. 11. Despond

cause had to be sought in the accum
ulation of previous influences,
there were no new developments or
events to account for It. It had the
effect of paralyzing all demands for
stocks and this prostration of buying
power gave a swift effect to the sell
ing pressure, "which was besides of
an urgent character in some cases.
On the volume of doings which repre
sents no great inflation or activity,
there was seen in consequence a
series of declines registered such as
are usually characteristic of a panic

which suffered in this way were those

LINER BREAKS ALL
OCEAN RECORDS
(Associated Press.)
NEW .YORK, Oct. 11. In four
days,, nineteen hours and fifty-two
minutes ,; .from Queenstown, with
every transatlantic speed record in
her possession, the Cunard liner Lu-
Bitania swept by the Sandy Hook
lightship at 1:17 a. nt. today. Three
records are written down in her log
book, two of them wrested from the
German rival of the Cunard linq, one
from the swift Lucania of her own
line. They were the shortest rec
ords from any European port to New
York, and the fastest average speed
of any transatlantic, voyage, being
23.99 nautical miles per hour, and
longest daily run, 617 nautical-miles.
Translated into land miles, her speed
average for the" i-un was 27.60 miles
per hour. Her achievement is a
triumph for British shipbuilding and
sailors, and probably marks the pass
ing of the old-fashioned reciprocating
engine and the beginning of the uni
versal installation of turbines.

that Idea. Ve have, for instance, the
prospect of old-age pensions on
free and indiscriminate basis, which
involves, let us say, an expenditure
of $30,000,0,00 a year."
To tlia suggestion that the business
depression is not particularly Brit
isli, but International, he said;
"Of course, Mr. Roosevelt's
speeches against the conduct of Am
erican railroads are greatly disturb
ing that market. We must all' admit
that tha manipulation of . railroai
stocks in the United States has not
always been quite what it should
have been, but this does not detract
from the serious character of the
President's campaign. It is difficult,
and almost impossible, as things
stand, for tis to furnish from this
country fresh capital for Tallroad de

Silver Bow is scheduled for a boom; ' in fact the boom' Is on al
ready. The' tide of immigration is sweeping that way from Ton
opah and Goldfield, and the roads leading to the eastern camp are
flecked with teams and rigs of all' descriptions. ' ' "
G. P. Plyler, president bf,the Carlson Mining Company, came in
last night' from Golden Arrow and reported that there was coil--sizable
'excitement In that direction over the new discovery in'
the Silver Bow Bell mine. On the way in he passed five teams
with outfits going to Silver Bow. On the majority of these s
there were women, who were evidently going to the new boom
camp to remain there.' ' ' '
Hugh D. Fulton,' who is interested In Silver Bow i with George
"Wlngfleld, arrived from the boom camp yesterday morning, and
confirmed the reports which had reached here of the high grade
finds. Mr. Fulton said that while there may' have 'been1 sdina fe.x-'
aggerated reports reached here, he saw himself samples which
ran $382 in gold, and away np Into the picture values In silver.
This was in the Silver Botf Bell property, and there, besides, is
a ledge of three feet which goes $300 to the: ton.. There are
eight Inches of the seam which goes Into the picture Values. .
Mr. Fulton has two claims adjoining the Silver Bow, which he
says contains a parallel ledge to that of the Silver Bow. t This
ledge, he says, is forty feet wide and assays as high as $102 have
been taken.' The entire ledge will average $16.08.'
There is plenty of property there which will go better than this,
