The Canyon Copper Company.


 county is that belonging to the Canyon Copper Co.,, and known as the Cameron mines. These prop critics are situated in the Grand Canyon of Arizona at a depth of about 2,300 feet, and distant some three miles from Grand View hotel. For years the original owners kept hammering away, intermittently, at the development of their pros pect. It has always, even from the grass roots, given evidence that some day it would be great ore pro ducer
 About two years since the pres ent company acquired a bond on the property and began pushing development work with systematic, Yankee zeal. Considerable ore has been shipped from the mine, all of which gave good returns.
 Some months since shipping was stopped and the rich ore allowed to accumulate on the dumps. The development work up to date con sists of about 2,5OO feet of tunnels, drifts and winzes, all in rich ore. It is the intention of the general manager, MT. John H. Page, to re- sume development work next week. when a pack train of some thirty mules and burros will be put on to carry the ore from the mine to the rim of the Canyon, whence it will be hauled to the railroad for ship ment. It is only the intention of the management to ship the ore taken out in the regular course of development work, which runs from p to 30 per cent copper. Later on, when the company has satisfied itself as to the exact nature and ex- tent of the ore bodies. large smelt- ing and concentrating plant will be installed, which will give work to many men and add to the wealth and fame of Coconino.
 As stated above, the Canyon Copper Co.,, something over a year ago, acquired a bond on the prop erty. About a month since they took over the property for s35, 900 cash, some six months before the | allotted time. This, of itself, speaks volumes in favor of the mines, which are destined ere long to rival in richness the great United Verde.
 In connection with their mining the Canyon Copper Co., under the competent manage ment of John H. Page, who, by the way, as a recognition of his ability and interests in the county's wei fare, had the nomination forced upon him as the republican party's for the territorial assem- bly, has also acquired the Grand View hotel property on the brink of the Grand Canyon. Here, with in the next few months, they will erect a modern 60-room hotel, with the latest conveniences.

TO ELIMINATE GRAIN GAMBLERS.

An interesting an apparently sue
to do away with middlemen in the
handling and shipment of their wheat
is described in the February Review by
Mr. C. H. Matson. These farmers seem
to have found a way to cope with the
o-called elevator trust of the Kan
sas wheat belt, on plan similar TO that
adopted by farmers at Rockwell. Ia.
where cooperation has eliminated the
middle-man. On the policy of selling
direct to mills he says:
Another feature of the plan pursued
by the Solomon farmers association.
and one which If Ii should become gem
eral. would revoiutionize the grain bus
mess of the United States and elimin-
ate the grain-exchange features and
trade. is the policy of selling direct TO
mills instead of shipping to the great
grain centers. In addition to saving
the the commission which must be paid
for selling wheat in the grain pits on
the boards Of trade, a premium IS OBJ
tained from the mills for high grade
wheat. The majority of elevator own
ers mix their good wheat with poorer
quality until 1t is all of certain
grade By skillful mixing. the elevator
man can realize a large profit from
this source alone, but the wheat is in
jured for milling purposes. In the big
storage elevators at terminal points,
the grain is still further mixed with
rye or inferior wheat for export pur-
oses. This mixing process has detrac-
ted from the reputation of high grade
Kansas wheat In fact, by the time Ii
reaches the mills in the east or the ex-
porters. 1t is no longer high grade.
Eastern millers complain that they
have not been able to produce as good
-four from Kansas wheat as that pro-
duced by smaller mills in the
wheat region that are able to pur-
chase their wheat direct from the
farmers. This fact is attributed 10 the
mixing of the grain elevators, and the
millers are willing to pay a premium
for high grade wheat that is entirely
free from rye and poor grain. BY TAX
ing advantage of these conditions, the
manager of the farmers elevator al
Solomon has been enabled to sell the
greater part of his wheat at a premium
and pay a correspondingly high price
to the farmers.

The members of the farmers cleva-
tor association at Solomon have recent
| ly completed arrangements whereby
they will export much OF their wheat
direct to cooperative societies In Ger

already been sold in this manner. The
wheat is billed direct from Solomon tc

This saves to the farmers not only the
profits to the local grain dealers, but
also the profits of several commission
men and the exporter. The German CO.
operative societies own their own mills

IN AID OF TROLLEY LINES.

In the construction of what is coming to
be regarded as one of the most promis-
ing developments of the future in the
matter of transportation in Iowa. Rail-
road building OF the other kind has
largely reached the point where halt
must be called, for the state is already
covered as by spider web of lines. Fo-
cal points Of trade and interest. such as
the growing cities of the state, will de-
velop tendency to build trolley lines
as arteries of communication in various
directions. With short lines. small
fares and numerous chances to pass
from point to point, the trolley has a
sphere of usefulness distinctly different
from the broad guage lines. Already
private enterprise and capital has ta-
ken up the work and considerable de-
velopment has been reached. With the
opportunity to vote local aid. stimulus
will be given to building.
The Blanchard bill was amended to
give taxpayers the privilege of owning
and holding stock in these trolley
lines in return for taxes paid. The tenn
per of the senate in passing the bill
indicates that 1t is favorably looked
upon by the legislature. and is a good
indication that the house will approve

MERRIAM NEEDS WATCHING.

Auditor of State Merriam has called
partment of his official duties in re-
cent very peculiar attack upon reputa-
BILE fire insurance companies trying to
do business in this state. 1t seems that
the Iowa law taxes foreign fire insur-
ance companies outside of the United
States 3ls per cent Of their gross
premium receipts from Iowa business,
while it taxes United States companies
other than Iowa companies only 2H per
cent This one per cent discrimination
is a hardship upon the foreign COM
panies and they have objected to what
they deem an unjust discrimination.
The law also provides that when the
taxes are paid into the state treasury
duplicate receipts shall be taken and
one deposited with the state auditor.
whereupon the auditor is to issue GER
tificate allowing said company to do
business in Iowa the following year.
Ten Of the leading English. Scotch
and Prussian companies have paid their
taxes under protest, receiving their re-
ceipts showing that their money has
been paid into the states hands, but
reserving the right to recover by pro-
cess of law. Merriam, for some reason.
makes the preposterous contention that
since these companies have given no
tice that they will try to recover what
they think has been taken from them
unlawfully, their tax receipts have been
yitiated thereby and that he, as audi
tor, will deem 1t his duty to withhold
from these companies their certificates
of privilege to do business in Iowa. The
Times Republican does not maintain a
legal department, but 1t would seem to
us that the tax money is now in the
state treasury available for public uses
and that the companies are rightfully
entitled to their certificates. If they
can recover lawfully they must first
prove that the state holds their money
unldWlully, ana IOT TO reIuSe
them their certificates until they prom
Use not to try to recover looks very
much like bull -dozing these companies
into a promise not to defend their legal
rights under threat of being placed
under the ban of the state auditor.
which fact, in the hands of their COM
petitors. would be enough to injure
their business. Under Merriam's prop
osition the county sheriff ought to sell a
mans farm for taxes If he should hap
pen to pay under protest and seek to
recover by law what he thought had
been taken from him unlawfully
The T.-R. has heard bad reports
enough about the insurance dealings of
the present state auditor to suspect his
motives in a contention of this kind
and hopes that the companies will take
prompt legal measures to demand their
rights. In the first place we believe

that the principle of a states discrim-
mating in It's taxes as between COM
panies in New York and London is
wrong The business men of Iowa are
interested in getting good insurance
at the lowest rates they can. 1t is well
known in every community that COM
petition in fire insurance business is
both safer and cheaper for property
owners that where a large number OF
companies assume the risks. their losses
in any one community will be small
and their ability to pay less endangered

ness the lower the rates will be. Iowa
foster or favor company in New
York more than one in London, and
tax discrimination of / per cent which
is designed to cause the withdrawal of
foreign fire insurance companies from
the Iowa field, is inimical TO Iowa bust
ness interests. Senator Hayward, actu-
ated by the experience of business men
in Davenport. after their disastrous
fire, has introduced bill to reduce this
discriminating tax on foreign compa-
MES and place them on an equal footing
with domestic or American companies.
The Times Republican believes that the
best interests of the thousands of Iowa
business men who have to buy insur-
ance would be we'll served If all insur-
ance companies, foreign, American and
state. should be put on exactly the same
level. The fire insurance question is
one that affects the business man fully
as much as the insurance company. 1t
is just such persecution as Merriam is
now trying to infiict upon reputable
foreign companies that Injuries the Iowa
