Copper Deposits in Arizona

(See Copper Hand Book page 99)
 Horace B. Stevens, publisher of The Copper Handbook, in giving a desc:ip- ton of Copper Deposits in the United States. has this to say of Arizona:
 ARIZONA. Arizona is the third dis trict in the world in point of produc- tive capacity. No other copper field has shown such marked gains in pro duction during the past decade, and there is every reason to believe that the output will continue to increase for many years to come.
 Arizona has nearly a quarter of the copper mines of the United States. Many of them are of very doubtful value; a few are of fully demonstrated worth, and a considerable number give promise of becoming both large and profitable producers. The mere fact that a copper mine is located in Ari- zona should not prejudice opinion for or against it. Some of the best and some of the worst mines ever opened are in this territory, and each mine should be judged individually, upon it's merits.
 There are evidences of rude mining by prehistoric people at a number of points in the territory, but no traces of smelting, and had the copper ores been reduced, the slags, and possibly remnants of the furnaces, could hard ly have escaped attention in modern days. It seems likely that the iron ochres, malachite and azurite were mined in a crude way, for pigments Prehistoric turquoise mines have been found at several points, notably in the Dragoon Mountain range.
 The first copper made in Arizona was turned out of an adobe furnace at the Longfellow mine, Clifton, in 1873. The nearest railroad point was 500 miles distant at that time. The development of the mineral resources of the territory of Arizona has been a remarkable one, during the three de cades that have since elapsed.
 The copper zone of Arizona, broadly speaking, has a general southeasternly and northwesternly trend, and the cop per deposits, as a rule, are found along the contacts of igneous rocks, such as porphyry and diorite, with limestone of the Paleozoic group. mostly of the carboniferous series. The genera geological conditions of Arizona are much the same as in the adojininE Mexican state of Sonora.
 ! Copper ores are found in more ol less profusion in every county of tht territory. The counties are of prince ly size. and as the topography range! from hilly to mountainous in mos parts, not even the best known dis

Who is he?" said one of party in a smoking room of an Atlantic liner as short ratter insignificant looking bearded man left the room where he had taken a quiet Scotch and soda.
 Why. that is Senator Clark" said a western man, "the hero of many senatorial battles strong and not un- successful combatant of the Amalga- mated Copper Company owned by the Standard Oil people. and self-made malti-millionaire Really. he is the
 first half-dozen of successful western mining men.
 "Of Scotch-Irish ancestry, he was born in Pennsylvania, but at an early age came as far west as Iowa. This, however, was not close enough to the setting sun, and, impelled by the ex- eitement over the strike near where the Gregory mine now is in Central City, he came, with thousands of oth- CTS, to Colorado. For several years he worked as a miner. 1 remember him well then. He was intelligent. not so abstemious that you could mo- tice it, but always with a business head, and was aided by a saving dis position in which his ancestry helped. The Scotch blood made him thrifty, while the Irish made him imaginative enough to seize them. Personally, I did not like him. I was fond of mak- ing jokes, and his Scotch blood pre- vented him from seeing their point.
 After a time he found mining life unattractive, and returned to Iowa, where, if he had not done so before, he studied law to certain extent, but his restless ambition sent him back to what he considered a broader field, and it was not long before he har- messed up a string of mules and drove 10 Virginia, Montana. He opened business here as a grocer, his capital being obtained from placer diggings in Montana Gulch. Prices were high, owing to the great cost of freight, but Clark, having his own team. was able to distance all competitors, as he earned profit in both directions. One Of the earliest corners in the west was organized by him. Tobacco ran high, and as nearly all the miners chewed or smoked, prices went up. Clark saw the opportunity. In spite of the blizzards of remarkably cold winte- he went to Salt Lake with his team, bought all the available tobacco in the place, and brought it back in time to net an enormous profit. The capital acquired made him of some import ance, and from the beginning as small, but successful merchant he be- came a banker and mine owner His

along the contacts between the DOT phyry and magnetism limestone. These ores were self-fuxing and highly profitable but gave out at shallow depth, and, contrary to the usual rule were not succeeded by sulphides. Elk tensive openings, on the porphyry of Humboldt Mountain, have developed enormous beds of low-grade sulphides, during the past ten years. and these are now the mainstay of the district, though some carbonate ores are still mined. The teaching process, little used in the United States, is employed to advantage in the treatment of cer- tain of the low-grade ores of this dis trict.
 The first mining in the Globe dis. trict was done in 1876, and was for silver. The Old Dominion, the prin- cipal producer and a typical mine of this field, is opened on a contact vein between diorite foot and a hanging of carboniferous limestone, over the greater part of which there is trachyte capping. The principal ore bodies are in the limestone, and the ores are mostly oxidized. A pecu- liar feature is the presence of a sul. phide zone which has oxidized ores both above and below. The ores are highly silicious and require heavy fiuxing with iron and lime. The lack of sulphide ores, to furnish the iron needed in fiuxing. is one of the most serious drawbacks of the district. It seems likely that ample bodies of un. altered sulphides will be found at some future time, in or adjacent to where operations are further handi- capped by very high rates on coke and other supplies.
 tions are further handicapped by very high freight rates on coke and other supplies.
 Political expediency should not be allowed to longer prevent the admis- sion of the territory of Arizona into the sisterhood of states. The terri tory has the population, resources and assured future that are necessary re- quisites of statehood, and should no longer be kept in leading strings. when

tricts have been developed yet, or even fully prospected Nearly all of the ores of copper are found in Arizona. and native copper is of not uncommon occurrence, especially in the mines at Clifton and Bisbee. The principal copper districts are four in number, as follows: Bisbee, in Cochise coun- ty, only six miles from the Mexican border; Jerome, Yayapai county. in the northwestern part of the state; Cliff ton. including Morenci, in Graham county. north of Bisbee and close to the New Mexican border; Globe, Pi- nal county. not far from the center of four principal districts, all of which are considerable producers, in abou: the order given, there are dozen or more smaller districts. such as the Hcl- vetia, in Pima county; the Wicker burg, and others.
 The Bisbee district, of which the town of that name is the center. is re- ally a part, geographically, of the great Sonora copper belt of Mexico. The ore deposits occur in carbonifer- ous limestones, bedded in nearly hor- izontal planes, and underlaid by quartzite The veins are notable for the quantity of fiuccan along the walls, and are easily mined as a rule. The clay carries considerable finely com minuted native copper and masses of native metal of respectable size are occasionally encountered. The OK ide zone extends to a depth of perhaps 400 feet and is succeeded by unaltered iron-copper sulphides that average ex. notable for the richness and extent of it's high-grade carbonate ores.
 The country rock of the Jerome dis trict is slate. extensively intruded by dioritic igneous rocks, states and dio rites having capping of uncomforma ble limestcres of later age and devoid of copper There is limited zone of oxidized ores. but the principal de pendence is placed upon the unaltered disseminated sulphides. These are percentages of copper, but are nota ble for their great extent and the high values carried in gold and silver
 The Clifton district has quartzite and limestones superimposed on gran ite, with intrusive igneous rocks o both basic and acid types. the entire formation being greatly faultsd. Orr occurs in both the eruptive rocks anC the limestones. It was in this dist trict that the first Arizona copper min ing was done. three decades ago There were. very extensive deposits O rich oXidized ores near the surface

MUTUAL AID SOCIETIES
IMPORTANT OPINION BY ATToR
 NEY GENERAL WILSON.
They Cannot Be Required to Deposit $1,o0O With State as Provided
 by the Recent Insur-
 H ance Law.

The various mutual aid societies oper- atlng in Alabama arc dceDiy iEterested in an opinion which has been renderel by Attorney General Massey Wilson relative to the act of the presen. Legislature amending tho insuia ance code of the Stale.
 The mutual gid soc ties are required to put up a deposit of Sl ,0o0 before doing business in Alabama, by the last insur- ance act but the Attorney General has held that the companies cannot be pun ished for the uon-payment of the de- pcs:t. In other words the law requires the deposit but the companies at present do not have to pay it.
 The anomalous condition grew out of the Tact that the last insurance law con talned a penal provision. It made 1t a misdemeanor for the mutual aid compa- nies to do business without first mak- ing a deposit of $1.000. Under the Can stitutlon d penal law cannot become op- erative until thirty days after the final adjournment of the Legislature.
 The opinion of Attorney General Mas sey Wilson was rendered at the request of the Insurance Commissioner Ned R. McDavid. The request to the Attorney Genera! was accompanied by considerable correspondence. which the Insurance Commissioner had had with the officials Of mutual aid societies operating in Ala hams. Some of tile officials contsflied that he last act requiring. the s1,W0 de- posit vas not operative and could not become operative until thirty days sfter the tinai adjournment of the Legislature in September. To settle this point At torney General Massey Wilson was asked for his opinion
 The opinion holds that the law. requiring the s10o0 deposit was operative from March 1, the day the hill was signed. The Attorney General ruled that all DOT tions of tine law were now operative ex- cept it's penal provision, which did Lot become operative until after the final adjournment of the Legislature,
 Under the legal conditions no prosecu- ton can be brought against the officials of any company which refuses to put up the $1 O00 deposit.
 The law was intended to insure stability and safety in the many mutual aid SO cieties which do business in Alabama. The s1,o00 deposit is required to protect the policy holders of those societies, many of which operate among the negroes.
 Insurance Commissioner McDavid said yesterday that six of the mutual aid companies had already compiled with the law.

District Attorney Reese Says More Cases from Coosa County are
 to Follow-Witnesses Were Approached.

Robert N. Franklin. white man of Goodwater, Coosa County. was brought fo Montgomery and confined in the Cosaty jail yesterday on an indictment found by the United States grand jury, charging him with peonage, the holding of person as a slave.
 The indictment was found Friday but not until the apprehension of Franklin was 1t made public. Indications are that more indictments of a similar character are likely to follow
 Franklin was taken before a Commls- sioner and his bond was fixed at Sl,O00 which he was unable to make.
 As soon as the indictment was found by the grand jury Deputy. Marshal Gibson was dispatched to Goodwater. making the trip on a freight car part of the way. Franklin was apprehendcd and placed under arrest.
 Yesterday negro Henry Black was arrested and placed in the Montgomery County Jail on charges of endeavoring to intimidate negro witnesses before tn United States grand jury in reference to the peonage cases.

LOSS WAS OVER ESTIMATED. seaboard Shops at Portsmouth No
 to Be Removed

When Mayor E. B. Joseph of Mont gomery. read in The Advertiser yesterday morning of the fire in the shops of the Seaboard Air Line at Portsmouth, Va, he immediately telegraphed First Vice President Barr of the Seaboard Company to know if there was any probability of a removal of the shops.
 In answering Mayer Joseph. MT. Barr said the estimate of loss to, the company had been placed too high.
 The telegraphic correspondence was as follows:
 Montgomery. May 3. MT. J. NJ Barr. First President Seaboard Air Line Railway, Portsmouth, Va:
 Sorry to see in morning paper destruc- ton of your shops. Could encoura cement by city government and Inducements Cf- fered by commercial community get sou to locate shops in Montgomery?

FRANKLIN CHARGED WITH
 HOLDING NEGRO AS SLAVE

District Attorney Warren s. Reese wae seen yesterday afternoon in reference to the cases. MT. Reese was inclined to he noI1-communicative as to the detaus or the arrest. He said. however, that Frank lin is reported to have kept a negro. Joe Patterson, as a slave over year ana that Patterson had started tp work for another person for q term of three years under similar circumstances, when the government authorities became cogni- zant of the tact. Patterson, he said, had been arraigned before magistrate on charges of obtaining $1 under false pre- terses. charge which the District At tcrney indicated was fraudulent Pat -terson was convicted and 9 small fine was assessed. The negro was unable to pay the fine Then. according to the story of the negrt as related by the Dis trict Attorney, Franklin offered to pay the fine with the condition that the ue- gro serve him for a certain period. The negro accepted and since that time has been in the custody of Franklin.
 A number Of negroes of Coosa Cohnty have been summoned to go before the grand jury to testify in the alleged slave traffic
 District Attorney Reese said that ac- cording to report this is not the only case of peonage in Coosa County but that 1t has become a practice among the farmers of that section. It is alleged he said. that they have a tact under standing with certain magistrates and negroes are arfaigned- on frivolous charges before these justices. On con viction one of the farmers settles the fire and costs and the negro is turned over to him. Ii Is further alleged that brutality is praeticed by the alleged slave holders and that the lash is ire qucntly applied.
