The Great Detroit Copper Property
at Clifton Described BY Major S.
m. Davis

Major 8. M. Davis writes the cham her
Arizona:
The Detroit Copper Company, oper-
atinR six miles northwest of Clifton, Is
an immense concern, with millions OF
money behind IL, and has commenced
improving the old plant since the Are
on q grand and solid scale. The store
house will soon be completed, Is feet

and basement. 1t Is built of iron and
stone, NO post or pillar, supported by
immense iron girders acrcs, the whole

buildings 1 have seen in years. 1,
would be q credit to Chicago or any
other city. My only regret VAS that
the chamber of commerce had not such

hundred windows. The front will be
French plate elass of large dimen-
sions. They will soon put up . now
school house, church, ice plant and
hotel. They have completed forty
four room dying house that compares
favorsbly with most fret class hotels.
The company Is doing all this work at
It's own expense. They already have .
good library and bill lard hall for their
workmen az their mines and mill.
The smelter Is in the gulch and the
town runs back north OF 1t. To stand
at the smelter and look back as the
town 1t look as though one we're on
the stage of an immense theater, with
the tiers of houses grou ed around 90 In
an immense audience. The saloons, dives
and disreputable houses have been clos
ed and their Inmates NJ ade to leave the
camp. So you see DO drunken men
or women csrousing at night. The
workmen flock to the library as night
and amuse themselves reading, play
ing cards, billiards, etc. and every
body is happy. Truly it is an ideal
mining camp.
The company has made millions and
will make millions more. 1t does
not count the cost when it goes to do
anything, but does it In a first cIass
manner.
l would like to write up this plant
more fully than 1 can do in this letter.
GU will remember that the emelter
and one concentrator were burned
about month ago. They have one
stack going now ard will blow in three
more this week. They have large con-
centrator about one b alf mile forth W est
of the town, and also large gas plant
near It, and the gas plant makes
gas to run the whole plant, smelter
and all. They have just put in two
immense gas engines of 225-horse |
power each. snd they have three more |
engines of 125 horse power. So you |
see the mbipe ed power Is over 800 |
horse power, and they will use it all J
as coon as their railroad Is com pleted |
nto Morenci. The capacity of the
SID elter is from six to seven hundred
tons per day, and the capacity of the |

and fifty tons per day.

believe it has its equal in the world
Everything is convenient and run with
q small amount of labor. 1 would urge
mining men of the southwest to visit
this mill before building. They will
certainly learn much that will save
them thousands Of gallons of water.
Mr.. Mills assured me that he would
get up hn exhibit of their ores and
send them to the chamber of commerce
at az early day.
The wages paid are from 81 to 50
per day, and % so for carpenters. The
employees are as we'll taken care of az
in any mining camp in the world.
When the railroad Is completed aud
every thing is finished as the company
contemplases, Morenci will be the most
complete, up to-date mining camp in
the United States. No money is be-
ing spared to make 1t 60.
The altitude Is over five thousand
feet, cool and pleasant. Morenci ia an
ideal mining camp. They have two
pumping plants. one to supply the
mills and concentrators and one for
domestic purposes. The domestic
water is pumped about six miles and 10
as fine water as one could wish for
The company, whom all their plans
are finished, will have as line . little
city as one would wish to look at.

IT EMBITTERS THEM
Execution cf Chinese Officials
by the Allies.
Native Authorities at Pekin Express Their
Surprise and Regret at These Occurrences
During Negotiations for Peace.
(Bv the Associated Press J

Washington, Nov. 12.-It is understood
that the Chinese authorities at Pekn
have been profoundly aroused by some of
the executions of Chinese officials which
have occurred of late, and that they have
made known in an official way their sur
prise and regret that this should occur
while the peace negotiations are going on.
1t appears that the execution of the act
ing viceroy of Chi Lii is looked upon as
peculiarly reprehensible and has been the
main cause of the present intense feeling
of the Chinese officials at Pekin This
acting viceroy served during the absence
of Ii Hung Chang at Pekin, occupying his
yamen, and in all ways executing Earl
Lis functions while he was conducting
the peace mission. His headquarters
were established at Pao Ting Flu, whence
the allied forces under the German COM
mander recently directed their expedition.
1t is said that the acting vceroy made
no opposition to the advance of the Ger
man and other allied troops, although
he had an army capable of resisting. He
is said to have come out from the city to
meet the allies and to have turned over
his yamen to them Notwithstanding
this he has been put to death, and this
tact when communicated to Ii Hung
Chang and his associates at Pekin, caused
intense feeling. From the Chinese stand
point, China is herself proceeding to
punish guilty officials and the question o.
punishment is being considered in the
negotiations now progressing.

Washington, Nov. 12.-The annual re-
port of dhe Treasurer of the United
States, Ellis II. Roberts, on the operations
and condition of the Treasury, was sub
mitted to Secretary Gage today Mr..
Roberts says the growth and prosperity
Of the country and the general activity
of business are reflected in the trans
actions CT his office. The net ordinary
revenues of The Government for the fiscal
year were $067 ,240 ,S52, the largest in the
history of the country, exceeding those
of 1866, the next highest, by $47, 80, ,28S.
The increase of $51 2S0, ,232 over the pre-
ceding year was contributed from all the
general sources, but chiefly from customs
and internal revenue. On the side of
the expenditures there was a net de-
crease of $117 ,35S, 1883 in comparison with
1899, so that the deficiency of $50, Ill $50
for thaft year. was converted into a sur
plus of $79, ,527 $50 in 1900
The aggregate amount of money of all
kinds in circulation on October /, 1900,
is estimated at $2,113, ,294 1923. an increase
of $3.50 0,Sl0,1i4 in fifteen months, of which
$94, 440 $50 was due to the enlarged use
of gold and gold certificates. The increase
per capita was from $25.3S to $2701. The
per capita of gold at the latter date
was $1,000, which is greater than that of
all the currency in 1862, while the total
of gold is greater than all the circula-
tion at any time previous 10 July 1879.
On October 1st, 39.24 per cent of the
total circulation was in gold and gold
certificates, 2645 per cent in silver dol
lars, silver certificates and Treasury
notes, 1886 per cent in United States
notes, and 1911 per cent in National bank
notes. 1t is a significant comparison
that on June 30, 1890, the percentage of
United States notes was 22.5S per cent.
Two years earlier it was as high as
32.07 per cent While the volume of
United States notes, Treasury notes and

provisions, the stock of gold is con-

She shall infiict the death penalty upon
eleven princes and officials already named

five years where the outrages occurred.
In future all officials falling to prevent
foreign outrages within their jurisdiction
