Newark: ,tlaa LaSerty, Cambridge; Si H. Peter son, tioooaen; jonn mbwk, Aureo unoj and three unknown men. The wreck was due, it is said, to tha failure of an operator to throw a switch. The east bound freight had received orders to meet the passenger at tha western limits of the Bellalre yard and was moving slowly along the siding. At the point where the wreck occurred there is a sharp curve whloh prevents the enaineer of east bound trains from stielng more than a few feet ahead. Tha passenger train ewung around the curve very rapidly, being three hours late, and should have gone on In safety on the main line. The switch to the siding, however, had not been turned and the train shot on to tha siding and Into tha freight. There was scarcely time to ap ply tha brakes and no time for tha en gine crew to Jump. The two big englnea were reduced to Junk. Every occupant of the smoker was badly Injured. ' The passengers In tha other day eoach and the two Pullmans were tum bled from their seats, being seriously in jured. Engineer Oalbrath waa scalded to death by escaping steam. The injured were taken to the Glendale and Bellalre hospitals. Federal Intervention Confi dently Expected by Presi dent Small of Commercial Telegraphers : Roosevelt and Morgan Urged to Act New Tork.

Ital Mm h n M Who Decries Mining for Gold, Silver, Copper, Iron or Coal As well despise searching for diamonds or plowing tne soil to plant tns grains ana grasses oi toe neias. Every dollar of metal money waa once beneath the sur face of the earth. All precious metals and stones are hidden In Its bosom, and unless some one bad digged - them out there would have been no gold or stiver aoi Urs In the world today. That Man Is a Fool Who will tell you that mining does not pay. Innumerable instances of enormous profits are re cord Jd in mining history. The -mines of the Comstock Lode have produced 980,000,0)0"4ni; :old and sliver. The stock of the various companies operating there ad vanced rrom a raw dollars to raouious prices, urown Point rose to $1,875 per share; Best and Belcher from buo to i,66o: c;aiirornia aovancea irom ii..d to joo; Consolidated Virginia from 11 cents to $C5. The Lead ville district has produced in a comparatively few . years over 1800,000,000. The mines of Cripple Creek have produced" $160,000,000 in gold since 1891. The Le Rol mine was sold entire In 1890 for $12.50. It has since sold on a basis of $10,000,000, and tne stocK ad vanced from 3 cents to $60 per share and paid as high as t.OOO per cent on the first cost. $100 invested in LeRol stock a few years ago haa since had a value of $250,000, and nas paid nearly ijq.uoo in dividends. Stock of the Home Mining company advanced from 30 cents a share to 126 oer share in seven months. Gran ite Mountain stock advanced from 10 cents, to $76 per share in two years and paid over $i4,oeo,ooo dividends in a few years. The Independent mine of Cripple Creek was located as a orosoect In 1891. A few years later, after Having paid several minions in dividends, it waa sold to an ungnsn syndicate xor iu, uuu.vuu. The original Tonopah Mine Was located as a prospect In 1891. It ha since produced $10,000,000; its stock is now selling on a basis of $16,000,000 for the mine, and there is now over $100,000,000 worth of ore actually blocked out and in sight in the property. That Man Is a Fool Who will drudge along forever merely to acquire suf ficient meant to protect him from the poorhouse ugle, when, by a little "frugality, he could save a, hundred or two dollars and do as did Mr. Robert F. 8eottof the First National bank of Portland. Mr. Scott 'was em ployed at $100 per month; ;He Invested $160 In mining shares and alx months ago sold his stook.for $106,000! He planted $80,000 in Portland income property and has been "doing" the Holy Land all this summer. He will circumnavigate the earth and return to this city to live in luxury all the balance of hia life. ' $10,000 in a Day! On September 24 our Mr. Poor, superintendent of our mines in Siskiyou county, California, adjacent to the city of Treka, bargained for 40 acres of copper prop erty adjoining the Treka townslte. One day later he was offered an advance of $10,000 for his bargain. Farm land in the vicinity remains at the same price it has been selling for 60 years, but because this strip contains a copper mine the 40 acres popped up in value TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS IN JUST ONE DAT! That Man Is a Fool Who turns up his hose at a-deal like this. The soil of that tract Is worth no more now than when our Mr. Poor bought it from Mr. Herzog.. But the mineral be neath the soli, now discovered for the first time, makes it rich beyond compare. It so happened that Mr. Poor was first to discover the treasure- of that farm. He secured the ground and announced the reason why he bought it. Then the "other fellows'' were astonished. They looked it over and promptly offered Mr. Poor the handsome sum of $10,000 to turn the property over to them. Tnis is one of the featurea of modern mining makes men rich quick. That Man Would Be a Fool '.V Who would turn away from this richly laden land of copper to the mountains and their timbers or the val leys and their grains. IT IS OOLD AND SILVER AND THEIR COPPER BROTHER THAT MOVES THE WORLD. Iron and coal are their able allies, but GOLD IS THE FATHER, THE PRINCE, THE KINO OF ALL! It is the exterminator Of poverty and the foundation of human Joy. A Letter From Mr. Poor We now own 2S0 acres of copper land on Beaver Creek. In the famous Blue Ledge district. In addition to this at Troka, and will soon be among tha large pro ducers of copper on the Pacific coast. Of our latest purchase, and of his movements at our, fold mines, Mr. Poor writes us as follows: "As vou know by my former letter. I secured that Treka property at last and I may add that I got 10 aeres more than we at first talked of. Today, It may interest you to know I have had an offer of an advance of $10,000 over what we bought for, but, of course, did not consider it When open up this mine, and begin to ship pay ore. Champion Group stock will go to $1.60 euro, and be well worth it.' As the property lies along-' side the railroad track, it will be but a short job to open it. "I am getting a good supply of mining timber out for winter use, and will be able to rush work on tunnel No. 4 by September 26. I expect to have ore slide and tramway completed by October 18, which will do away with hauling ore by team. Will employ Brlggs to do our teamlngand hauling from Treka. "Respectfully yours, "O. H. POOR." This sounds good to us. and then eomea the Siskiyou News, published at Treka, adding this to what Mr. Poor said: "Tha Siskiyou News has claimed for a year that there were big copper ledges within a mile or two of Treka, and that- there would b more people and money in the old town before many months than were seen hero even in tha halcyon days of '61, Now comas an Oregon mining company and backs up our faith with good hard dollars. "For several months O. H. Poor, superintendent of the Champion Group of mines, ha been quietly tracing a copper ledge on the Charles Hersog ranch, adjointng the Yreka corporation line on the northeast. Mr. Poor is familiar with tha Blue Ledge and Happy Camp cop. per districts and insists that the ore from the Hersog ranch la as good aa that from those famous districts in every respect, and haa the advantage of a railroad running; tight through tha property, "Mr, Poor, acting aa the agent of the Champion Group Mining company of Portland, some time ago be gan negotiations with Mr. Hersog for a strip of land through his ranch, including .several hundred feet on each side of the ledge, amounting to about 40 acres. Last Friday the com Dan v closed the deal. The oleoe ,1a 400 feet wide on the south end and 700 feet wide on ine norm, ji)o ieuki runa uwvi inrougn me miaoie from nor$h to , south, .and, the. Treka railroad runs be tween tbe ledge and the co'Witr road. ;' "Tha Champion Group" Mining1 .' will sink a shaft on the ledge as soon a tha necessary 'machinery can be got on the ;grouadnd.-will prospect the ledge in (liferent places the whole length of the property. iY"Thl deal begin a. ' new era for Treka. . There an miles of copper cropping near tha town that have been negieciea ior ine vuv generation ,wnen nouung dui goia was looked for. And the nice thing about It 1 that tha railroad runs right through tha copper belt and ore can be almost dumped into the cars from the mouths of the stiarts." , - Work Began Yesterday Work on the Siskiyou property began yesterday, and there will be no let ud until we are shinning ore.' The Champion Group management never start In to do a Mhlng and then lies down to sleep in th middle of tha job. we are pusning everything an along tne line, and we believe tnat it win oe dui early winter when we shall begin shipping ore from Yreka and then look out! "I Was a Fool" Will be the exclamation of many, when they sea our took ranldlr selllntr at tl.ES the share, and within a. year $8 to $5, and very likely up to $10. It will be tha old. old story over again that It might have 0000!"

The sandstone deposit will be 45 cents per ton minus 25 cents for treatment, aggregating a net profit - of $348,480,000 These figures resultfrom the lowest assay, while it may be shown that tests in many cases greatly exceed these values, the former are assured facts proven by careful experiment y s ' We do not' want yo'ur.'capital for developing an .'unknown property That work has already been done.
