OFF FOR THE PRESENT:
The Packing House Combine Does
Not Like the Signs in the
Political Heavens.

Chicago, Sept. 24.-The combination Of
the great packing houses of the country,
which has been under consideration and
in process Of actual formation for the last
six months, has been abandoned, at least
for the present, says the. Tribune. The
decision not to complete the combina-
ton is due in a large degree to the at
titude of the national administration to-
ward trusts as outlined by President
Roosevelt in his recent speeches. and to
the possibility that in the event Of con-
solidation congress might remove the
tariff on cattle. -
1t was learned last night that a final
meeting Of the heads of the firms known
as the big four, packing houses in Chicago
had been held, at which it was agreed to
end all negotiations at once. This was
followed by an order issued from the office
Of Swift & Co. that the firms employees
should Immediately discontinue the inven-
tory Of property and stock which had
been ordered and started for the pur-
pose Of tabulating report of the finan-
cial condition Of the company which was
to have been used as a basis OF the
division of shares in the combine.

Amalgamation With the Other
Association.

Detroit, Sept. 24.-At the convention Of
the Spanish war veterans yesterday Cap
tain Wilson I. Davenny of Chicago a rep
resentative of the United Service
Men of the Spanish War, being asked to
speak referred hopefully to the possibility
of amalgamating the different associa
tions Of Spanish war veterans. He said
that President Roosevelt urged him yes
terday to aid the movement, "and,' said
Captain Davenny, "if amalgamation can
be arranged a basis that will be just
and equitable you will not find me in the
way"
A resolution favoring amalgamation was
introduced by Colonel Champe Andrews of
New York and enthusiastically adopted.
Not dissenting voice was heard.
The resolution provides for the appoint
ment of a committee of five to meet with
a similar committee from the Spanish
American war veterans and discuss the
details.

MONEYS TIGHTENERS
Individuals and Firms Withdraw
Bank Balances to Loans. !.

New York, Sept. 24.-The local financial
81, tuition excited considerable interest yes
terday Money on call t1uctuated between
II and 20 per cent before noon, opening at
the first figure and advancing to 20 per
cent by leaps. By noon the rate had eased
OF to IL per cent. An unusual and sig
nificant feature was the lending Of money
by individuals and firms who withdrew
tho greater part of their bank balances
and made loans direct. Naturally this
curt,,.ed the supply Of bank money and
created some i'll feeling between the banks
and their clients. One prominent broker
age house is reported to have taken
81 900, 900 cash out of two banks, lending
the money at from Is to 18 per cent. Two
leading houses reported that withdrawals
by their out-of-town correspondents pre-
sumably in the west and southwest, had
been unusually heavy. These drafts, 1t
was added, were for crop purposes. Con-
siderable money Is reported to be going to
Chicago, Cleveland and st. Louis. A num-
Der of out-of town banks pursued their
usual course on this occasion by with
drawing balances, from the local banks
and leaning them direct on the floor Of
the exchange. Local branches of the
Canadian banks were heavy lenders at the
higher rate. II: ss
In the last hour the rates for call loans
were quoted at from 10 to 10 per cent.

A Detroit lawyer was driving out on the Pontiac road few days ago on matter of business, and a mile beyond the city limits he met a farmer and his wife driving in. As the lawyer knew the man, he stopped and asked
 Well, Uncle Eben, how did the hay crop pan out this year?"
 ."Only tolerable. sir-only tolerable, !" was the reply.
 And about your wheat?"
 Cant say much for wheat. Pm short POO bushels.'
 But oats were all right?''
 Very poor. sir-very poor.'
 "Well, you'll make it up on corn. won't you?" persisted the lawyer.
 ''I don't think so. Corn got a backset, you know
 But they tell me potatoes promise tremendous yield2''

 Well, you won't starve next winter, anyhow?'

RAPIDLY GAINING DEPTH
Progress of Development at the Le-
 viathan Mine.

A. G. Hulett returned a day or two ago from a visit to the Leviathan Min ing company's property, and is more than ever enthused over the prospects. The contract previously referred to for sinking an additional 100 feet in the in cline shaft is now completed, and the shaft has now reached the depth of 213 feet. A small contract was let since then to sink to the end of the cable on the hoist, which will make the shaft about 300 feet deep. Crosscuts will then be run both ways.
 By running the crosscut ahead 50 feet on the 90C-foot level, vertical depth will be rapidly gained, so steep is the hill toward it's apex, and it is estimated that at that point the workings will be about 500 feet from the surface.
 Road making is also in progress. three men being thus employed, and conditions are such progress is made rapidly. The work began at the camr. and is running out toward the county road. There are about four miles that will need extensive work. and one mile is now finished up and in good condi- tion. Altogether improvements are be- ing rushed along as fast as possible and when the 300 foot level is reached extra men will be put on to work the crOSscut bOth ways.

WRITE-TANKs DISTRICT
Discovery of Promising Deposit of
 Asbestos.

Bert Ford is in from the White Tank have fallen there recently-in fact the heaviest rains that have been seen there for the last fifteen years. The summer was an exceptionally dry one. water being so scarce that most of the prospectors had to leave their claims. and as a consequence but little work has been done in that district for some time past. He thinks, though, that from now on there will be lots of pros pecting and development work done.
 M D. Latin of the Printers Syndi- cate has just returned to the White Tanks from Prescott and will devote his energies to the development of the Syndicate and another claim which he and Mir Ford recently located. This is an asbestos claim, and present ap- pearanoes are very promising, though just what the enterprise will amount to cannot yet be predicted.
 Mir Ford has with him some fine samples of asbestos, the fibre being about six inches long. If he can get enough of that kind of goods he has a fortune. He says that only surface work has been done yet. and he does not know how deep the deposit will go. The ledge is about thirty feet wide, and the asbestos lies in small veins or stringers running through the ledge. The value of the mineral depends very largely on the length of the fibre. If it is long it can be worked up into cloth for various purposes. and if short it has to be ground up and worked over by various processes. There have been many discoveries of asbestos in this part of Arizona. but thus far they have all been small deposits or of low grade and short fibre.
 The mines in the White Tanks are some of them very promising and be- fore the dry season began many of the prospectors had sacked up considera ble quantities of their richer ores fer ship ment. During their absence thieves have been busy, and some rich ore has been stolen. Mir. Ford says he lost six teen sacks of choice ore in this way
