HITCH IN THE
MERGER SCHEME
North Jordan Canal Company
Votes Against Consolidation
MAY KNOCK OUT ALL PLANS
MATTER TO BE PLACED BEFORE
SHAREHOLDERS FOR ACTION.

1
There may be no consolidation OF the
zeal water companies. \ hitch in the
proceedings has appeared for the first
time.
one OF the longest sessions held by
@nF OF the organizations which have
e'1Sc USED the water question was the
. meeting Of the boards Of directors at
we commercial club rooms yesterday.
Ihere was almost a full representation
only two Of the members being a bsent.
/ he session was called at ii O'clock
and continued until after 6 O'Clock in
. the evening. short recess was taken
Al noon for luncheon, and the men
again retired and continued their con-
ference behind closed doors.
BESIDES the directors of the four com
pahles and the presidents there were
present Attorney Franklin s Richards.
IN regal capacity; Colonel E F.
homes representing the Commercial
ciuD, and Abraham F. Doremus. state
engineer, who represents the interests
OF the people. The early part of the
meeting Was devoted to a discussion Of
the articles OF agreement bearing upOn
the question of the consolidation Of the
tour companies. These were gone over
In detail and the satisfactory criticisms
proved that the committee had done
Its work carefully
When it came to the vote upon the
question OF merger hitch appeared in
the proceedings. The Utah & Salt
Lake Canal company, the East Jordan
irrigation company and the South Jor-
Jan Canal company voted unanimous
~ IN favor of consolidation. The North
Jordan company voted against the
proposition.
Action Was a Surprise.
This action on the part of the direc-
tors was surprise One of the mem
oers Of the board said that he was i'm
pressed with the fairness ana equity
OF the articles. There was no objec-
ton to the conditions of the articles,
but it had been thought best to pre-
serve the identity of the company
which he represented.
The efforts of the other directors
were tlSen directed TO turn the votes Of
The opposing company. The entire sit
uaIon was gone over and the matter
was carefully analysed from every
STANDPOINT, with a view to changing
the North Jordan people At one time
It looked as if the directors were per-
suaded, but they held a consultation
among themselves and decided not 10
chanSe until the matter could be
brought to the attention of the stock
holderS. No manner of argument would
CHdhSe the vote or the minority, but
the members promised 10 place the
matter before the shareholders at an
early meeting
Nothing more could be done. and it
was voted to adjourn the meeting two
weeks until the question is voted upon
by the shareholders of the North Jor-
dan company. If they vote against
the proposition the consolidation is off
The object of merging the interests
of the four companies was to create
)ne water body to deal with the gov
eminent and secure financial help for
retaining the arid tracts of the west.
Il is the intention TO build immense
reservoirs. and if Utah lake could he
enclosed in this way, the danger of a
water famine would be practically !
wiped out.

figures of State Statistician
Filed With the Governor.
PRESENT LAW is DEFECTIVE
TO FACILITATE MATTEHS IT
SHOULD BE AMENDED.
PRESENT LAW is DEFECTIVE

The 1902 production of the mines OF
he state is placed at $40 391. 147.25 in
he annual report Of State Statistician
Charles De Moisey. which he has fled
with Governor Wells. The commits
sioner says he received those figures
after considerable work, which could
providing for the collection Of such sta
tistics were changed. The production
of metals is divided as follows:
Silver, 15,II3,204 ounces valued at
.52I7 cents per ounce. $7,915.33S.S3.
Gold, 1885 ounces, $2O.67 per ounce,

Lead. 1882, 462 pounds, cents per
pound, S5,3l469
Copper, 26S24,I53 pounds, .1176 cents
per pound. S3,154520.39
Commissioner De Moisey gives the to-
tai metal production OF the state from
1877 to 1902. inclusive as S242, 585, 65O.4S.
Recommends a Better Law.
Under the existing law, the precious
mineral production figures are fur
nished the bureau by the assessors Of
the different counties. Experience has
taught Commissioner De Moisey that
their figures cannot always be relied
upon, and his 1902 reports consists of
figures gathered almost entirely by
himself, or through his Office, to secure
their correctness.
The report is concluded with the fol-
lowing recommendation relative to the
amendment of the present law to facili-
tate the more accurate compilation of
statistics by the bureau
Il suggest % that the present law
be amended so that the county as
SCISSORS be relieved of the work of col
Letting statistics other than agricultu-
raj; % certain day be fixed on or
before which the assessor shall return
all statistics collected by him: and 90
that a penalty be prescribed for a re-
fusal to furnish information necessary
for the work of the bureau"

Thinking they were cowmen on their way to Safford, Mir Wooten left his compan- ions on the ridge and started to join the men in the canyon. expecting to have company into Stafford.
 Wboten's two companions kept on down the ridge until thes were seen by the four men in the canyon, who opened fire Cn them. Wee G la {. not yet overtaken the supposed cow men, and his companions yelled lustily for aim tc come back 10 them, as neither he nor th3. were armed.

Bridges Needed on San Pedro.

w. H. Brophy. of the Copper Queen store, believes that there ought to be some bridges built on the San Pedro river, in Cochise county. Said he yesterday: The lack of any bridges on the San Pedro liver often causes great inconvenience to those whose business requires that they shall cross tt One bridge should be built a. Hereford station. This would accom- modate the mining camps of the Hua- chuca Consolidated Mining company and the Mitchell Development com pany, enabling them to reach their bases of suplpies at Eisbee and Naco at any time, whereas without a bridge during the rainy season they will Of ten be unable 10 cross the river with teams. 4 bridge et tsis point would also serve those living at Fort Hua- chuca and fn that vicinity. Another bridge should be provided for the ac- commodation of the Et David people lower down, who could then at all times reach Benson" Mir Brophy has called attention to question that is entitled to the careful consideration of the board of supervisors.
