Spending SIC. 600. 600 on Wharves

The China Commercial Company's steamship
Clavering left Salina Cruz yesterday for this
port. Salina Cruz is the new port OF call in
Mexico for the vessels of this line and prom
ises to be one OF the most important ports
the Pacific Coast: With transcontinental
railroad communication almost completed and
S20. coo, COO worth docks and wharVes under
construction the Mexican port is beginning to
be considered a shipping point of no little
interest to the commercial world. Captain
Frederick Miller, who called in at Salina Cruz
when on his way to Acajutla with the little
tug Izalco, says that the port is being
equipped on a gigantic and strictly up-to-date
plan and that an enormous transcontinental
and tran5-Pacihc trade will undoubtedly flow
through there in the near future. Most of
the harbor Improvement work is being done by
a British contractor, who has under way work
for which he will receive more than 500 600. =

BEQUEST FUND
TO Be PROBED
Supervisors Finance Committee
to Inquire Into Distribution
of Cash Left by II. E. Robinson
PASSES FORAGE DEMANDS
Declares Poor Street Sweeping
Is Due to the Lack of Of
fetal Supervision of the Work

The Supervisors Finance Committee
decided yesterday to institute an in
vestigation into the manner Of the dis
tribution of the Robinson bequest fund.
The committee cited the officers of sew
eral societies who have been benefciar-
les under the fund to appear at its
next meeting and give testimony as
to how the money received from the
fund had been utilized.
Supervisor Payot stated that the
terms of the bequest required that the
fund shall be used only for the relief
of women and children and he was
satisfied that the specific provisions Of
the baquest had not been complied with.
The committee approved demands
aggregating $743 in favor OF r. Aigel-
finger & Co. for forage furnished to
County Jail No. 2. The bills are those
that ex-Sheriff Lackmann had refused
to sign because the cost of forage used
during the six months ending Decem-
Der 81. 1908. was $500 in excess of
similar period in 1902. Lackmann said
he had instructed Superintendent Mar
tin not to order any more forage and
in the face of that instruction the ad-
ditional bills were submitted. Martin
SAID he was compelled to order more
forage because he had taken care OF
horses belonging to other city depart
ments The committee saw no alter
native but to- sign the bills, as the for
age was furnished to and used by the
city. The bills were ordered paid by
formal resolution of the Board Of Su-
pervisOrs.
The committee designated the room
now used by the Public Library as
newspaper reading room as quarters
for boys awaiting trial before the Juve-
nile Court. Other rooms in the base
ment of the City Hall were allotted 80
the Public Library for its uses.
POOR STREET SWEEPING.
The Finance Committee also investi-
gated the complaints that the streets
are being poorly swept. on which ac-
count the bills of ]. G. Harvey and
Felix McHugh for January were held
up at the last meeting. L. NJ. King
of the Merchants Association thought
the contractors were not using due dill
gence in cleaning the streets and that
they were employing men who are
physically incapable of doing the work.
Commissioners of Works Casey and
Woodward said the complaints regard
ing street sweeDing were too general
in character. They urged that the
blocks on which poor work was done
be designated more particularly. Good
inspectors are supervising the work and
the contractors are being continually
fined for laxity, much to their dissat-
isfactiOn.
Supervisor d'Ancona said he had no
ticed that sCrne streets were not prop
erly sprinkled, resulting in clouds of
dust rising when they are swept In
ordering the bills paid the committee
expressed the opinion that there was
lack of proper official supervision OF
the work.

THE MINING INDUSTRY

ents who show them through the prop erty.
 Ben. M. Crawford and Duke Await have taken a working bond on the claims recently discovered by Fryeand KinZie on Cave creek in the Granville district The ore runs from 2 to 6 ounces gold and also carries consider able lead. Not much work has been done yet on the claims, but all reports are of the best. and it seems likely that big discovery has been made. The property is now in the hands of good mining men who will spend a sufficient amount of money to test it's merit. Quite a number of claims have recent ly been located in that section. and if the ore holds out big boom will soon be on.
 U. D. Beauchamp is interested in . number of claims at Cave creek in the Greenlee district which is opening with rush occasioned by the big gold strikes recently made in that section. MT. Beauchamp, who is a mineralo- gist as well as thorough mining man, has given the district much study, and he is of the opinion that a little sys- tematic work will develop some phe- normally rich properties Nearly all If the ore pans well in free gold and as- | says as high six ounces. in gold. A | sufficient amount of work however, has not yet been done to demonstrate the permanenecY of the veins. Several
 parties are preparing to develop their holdings. The district is not new | one. but it has been neglected for many years. On one of MT. Beauchamps claims a tunnel was driven 75 feet so l long ago that trees are now growing
 on the dump. This work was probably
 done by the 49ers on their return from | California in the sos. Those pioneers seemed to find about all the gold dis | tricts in the country, but at last 1 time only the richest ore could be | worked at profit.

OLD DOMINION PLANT.

Dr. L. D. Ricketts. M. F.. assistant to Prof. James Douglas of Phelps. Dodge & Co, who has been appointed superintendent of the old Dominion Copper Mining and Smelling company, to succeed F. W. Hoar. has arrived from Bisbee, says the Globe Silver Belt.
 In an interview at the Kinney house
 pr. Ricketts informed the editor of the Silver Belt that he had come to take charge of the Old Dominion property. and that his relation to the company would not be affected by the failure or success of the proposed con- solidation of the Old Dominion and the United Globe properties. He has come with the full authority to perfect the plans and carry to completion the improvements now under way, and others to be made, along which is a concentrating mill.
 pr. Ricketts, coming has been de- layed by reason of his having had to go to New York to draw and submit plans for the concentrator. the early construction of which is desired. From New York he went on an urgent busi-

IN THE GLOBE DISTRICT.

F. F, Happensack and H. L. Snod- grass, of Cincinnati Ohio, directors of the Globe Boston Copper company. are visitors here, says the Silver Belt. After inspecting their own property, under the guidance of Superintendent George s. Andr7us, they visited a number of other mines and works in the vicinity. and express themselves highly pleased with what they saw. They are much encouraged with the frequent favorable showing in the Globe Boston and state that the development work will be continued. MT. Snodgrass is also largely interested in the Buckeye Mining company, whose property is near Bowie. and he informs us that the company expects to re- sume work there the coming spring The gentlemen will leave for the east tomorrow morning.
 Louis c. Hill, supervising engineer for the Salt River storage reservoir was here on Monday and returned to the headquarters camp on the river Tuesday. MT. Hill stated that he had

THE ELECTRA LOOKING FINE.

Work at the Electra mine, near Wickenburg. is still being push ed, says the News Herald. A party of Wickenburgers went out there last week to see the property and it was an eye-ooener to many of them. The underground workings are down nearly 300 feet and the ore shows up all the way down. IL Is as fine a proposition as can be found anywhere, for the amount of work that has been done. The parties who were there last week have been making a strong talk in fla vor of the property since they returned. Here's wishing the company all the sue cess that honest mining and clean management deserves.

ness call to California and thence to Cananea, where he is supervising the construction of a 20o0-ton- concentrat- ing plant for the Greene Consolidated.
 Dr. Ricketts informed us that the new smelter and other Improvements now under way at the Old Dominion will be carried to completion with all possible dispatch, and barring un- foreseen obstacles the new works should be completed by June or July and the smelter in operation.
 The concentrator. which will have a capacity of 250 tons, will be one of the same general type as those at Morenci and Cananea, except that it will be built in the form of an L in- stead of T. being so constructed that the other wing can be added, doubling the capacity, should it be desired to do so al any time. The concentrator building will be of steel. No time will be lost in its construction, and Dr. Ricketts hopes to have the plant com pleted within six months.
 Dr. Ricketts confirmed the statement made in these columns two weeks ago, that his appointment as superin- tendent of the Old Dominion was not to be considered as permanent as signment. He will remain here prob ably six months or longer or until all important construction work has been completel, when a superintendent will be appointed to relieve him here, in order that he may give more of his time to other important Phelps-Dodge interests.
 Prof. James Douglas. who was ex- pected here this morning, was un- avoidably delayed, but his special will arrive on Friday, and the professor will probably remain here several days. It gives the Silver Belt much pleas ure to present this very encourag ging news to our Globe readers, who for the past several months have been kept in fear and suspense, not know | ing what turn the Old Dominion af- fairs might take at any time, and be- | ing continually harrassed by discour- aging rumors. We feel confident that Old Dominion affairs have taken de- cided turn for the better, which be- fore many months will be shown by Increased production and earnings and the marked improvement in the mining and general business affairs oi | Globe.
