The House has reconsidered ito
action on the survey commission
and has passed the Senate resolu
ton on the subject. This resolution
calls for the appointment Of sur-
veyor by the county court OF each
county. They are to make joint
survey Of the three counties and the
area Of each: Their report is to be
fled with the clerk OF each county
and with the secretary of state.
In case they show that the three
counties have less than 1900 square
miles this will knock out the hopes
of the Augusta county people until
the constitution shall be changed.
The surveys are to be made before
the next legislature.
Augustus people state that they
will he back ct that time to make
the fight again but II the surveys
knock them out they will not be

Bisbee daily review., 1903-05-24
Senator W. H. Glark'$
 By om Prsmsn" Interesting Career

hrst experiments in mines were not so successful as those with the Colusa Mine, Parrott, and others in Butte, with which he has been identified, but still, on finding that copper had some value, he managed to acquire a con- siderable area of ground, which after wards proved to be highly productive
 Tt is said that he was always a student, and has taken a course in mining at some eastern college. Per sonnally, l do not know this, but at any rate, he has made more money than any educated mining engineer in the country, so that, in his case at least, what education he has done him no harm.
 His reduction works in Butte were successful, and he established a pros porous bank there, which he still con trols. The rates of interest in min ing camps are always high, and it was not long before his accumulations null tiplied. Still, he was not a usurer in the ordinary sense. He took chances with his money, and aided many a less fortunate miner. He generally wanted his pound of flesh with the three per cent per month added, and he generally got it, for he was shrewd and knew how to pick his men. These were not victims, for no one else would have advanced the money to them.
 In 1890 he told me, in Butte, that the United Verde, which had been handled by Fred Tritle, former governor of Arizona. and Fred Thom- as, one of the leading owners in the Gwin Mine in Calaveras county, and few others, was the biggest copper property in the world, and that it was better than the St. Lawrence, Ana conda, Boston-Montana, Gagnon, and all other Butte properties rolled to- gether. This seemed a strong state ment, and it looked as if the Senator Che was somewhat convivial at the time) was talking hot air,'-but there is little doubt today that he has the most magnificent showing of any cop per mine in existence. It is not only the grade of the ore in copper. but it's contents in gold which make the prop erty so valuable
 Fred Thomas, who is one of the best miners that the Pacific coast has developed. and who has been success ful in California, Nevada, and Austra- lia, had a one-ffth interest in this property, and let it go to his ultimate regret, for ten thousand dollars. This was after the exhaustion of the rich surface ores. The sulphides then found in depth were not so easily handled and their metallurgical treatment was a matter of doubt, and
Bisbee daily review., 1903-05-24

it was believed by all that the life of the mine had ended.
 Clark is said to have refused an almost impossible number of millions for the property. The Standard Oil company has cast it's covetous eyes on it, and not being able to force him out of business as if he were an oil refiner, has made him very attractive offers
 He and Heinze formerly had com munity interests in Butte, but it is now said Heinze has to pursue his ag- gressive tactics alone. and that Clark has joined forces with the Standard Oil company. These people do not love him, for he and Heinze raised the price of labor from s3.50 to s4 day throughout. This was propably po- litical move, but the Standard Oil peo- pie do not like to throw boquets of this character to the working man.
 He is now fond of pictures, and has purchased some of the best in the European market. do not know that ke claims to be an expert in them, but he can get good ones, as he has money to burn. His house on Fifth avenue does not look his original shack in Montana. It is one of the finest in New York. His greatest ambition, perhaps now. is to perpet- uate his family, and it is only recently that he gave a bonus of one million dollars for his first grandson. This was an offer attractive enough to stimulate active. though pleasant, competition in his family.
 His success through life has besn due to shrewdness, foresight, and. if not abstemious, living within his means. When he had any object in view, he was tenacious and pursued it. Most men, when rejected by a body like the senate on account of an ille- gal election. would have withdrawn from the field, but he was equal to the emergency, and succeeded in landing himself there He has had consid- erable difficulty with his railway pro- ject from Salt Lake to Los Angeles. but there is no doubt that he will car ry it through. and ultimately will make a great success. He has enough bulldog in him to fight any competi- tors. and the construction of his line will doubtless benefit both Nevada and the Golden State"
