GREENE AFTER
 FEDERAL SHELTER
Cananea Copper Magnate Said to Have Agents Negotiating for Fl
 Pasc Plant.

The following is taken from the F. Paso News:
 AccorC!ng to current reports repre- s5ntatives of Col. ". C. Greene and associates are negotiating for the pur- chase of the federal smelter plant east of this city. It is stated that should the deal go through the capac- ity of the plant Wtll be greatly in- creased. and plans perfected for treat ing several kinds of ores. The smel. ter will be used to reduce the ores from the Sierra MaCTe country that are now being chiefly shipped to the Fl PasO shelter.
 Under the contemplated arrange ments it is proposed to open up some big mining properties along the Ser "a Madre line wh6l it is extended. and as a consequence the shipments of ore from that region will be much heavier
 As the greater part of the mineral from that section contains not only copper but also gold, 5.lver and lead, the presjlt facilities of the federal smelte- would have to be enlarged in radical manner as it was originally only constructed for the reduction of the red metal

COPPER STATISTICS.

The New York Journal of Com uerce & Commercial Bulletin says:
 Compared with the great activity during the earlier weeks of the month. of OctCbe-. there has been a heavy falling off in sales of refined copper in both the domestic and foreign mar kets. But this could scarcely be otherwise after the enormous quanti- ties sold previously. In all about 15O 900 tons of copper have been sold cur ing October and November and the prices have advanced 10 the basis Of l5 cents for 5lectrolytic, although sales are not readily made at this p4.ce al the close.
 The production of copper in the United States during the first eleven months Of the year We estimate at 314.225 tons. imports at 73.000 tons. or a total supply of PSF, ,225 tons. Els tamating the export movement of No vember al 20.G00 tons, the total for 5ig1 shipments for the eleven months are 225.?i4 tnns We esImate do- mes',c and foreign ccnsump ;on of 417.244 tons: that is. the cOnsumptive requirements have been 30119 tons greater than the current supply. which means that surplus stocks have been drawn upon to the extent of 3OI19 tons
 If We accept the governments esri- mate of 79,0O0 tons as correct. stocks at the present time are 4S.SS1 tons. Heretofore. however. we have es,i- mated that stocks were 6000 tons greater than the government esti- mates. which took no account of one large Lake company which failed to make returns, but even on this basis 1 present stocks would be only 54,000 , tons. which. at the present rate of con
 sumption, foreign and domestic. is scarcely more than one months sup
 ply.
 It should be noted also that while these stocks exis- they are all prac- tically under contract for shipment
 within the next few months. As con sumption is now at a greater rate | than production and is likely to con
 tinue 50 for three or four months. it is only question of time when these stocks will entirely disappear. The increased amount. of copper that will become available through the stimu- | la5.on of production by high prices now prevailing. will have a tendency
 to retard but not 10 avert the absorp- l ton of over surplus metal

MITCHELL DEVELOPMENT.

Adyices have been received says. The Daily Mining Journal. of Marquette, Michigan. from the Mitch ell Development cOmpany's property in the Huachuca range of mountains. Cochise county, Ar.zona, to the effect that the diamond Grill has encourt- cred an ore body twenty feet in width in the third hole. While no assay has been made. the samples forwarded from the property indicate that the strike is of importance.
 According to a letter from the man in charge of the diamond drill work the ore body was encountered at a depth of 160 feet below the floor of the crOsscut in which the drill is sta toned. This crOsscut is on the $50 foot level of the main shaft. which gives the point of the strike a total depth of 510 feet from the surface
 The drill. as previously stated en- tered the mineralized formation at depth of 160 feet below the crosscut and passed through twenty feet of ore before coming out into the country rock again. Samples were taken for every five feet of the ore body. which is soft. rendering the forwarding of core impossible. These samples, four In number indicate that the mineral ization is quite general from one end of the deposit to the other
 It is the supposition of the people who are familiar with the property that the ore body recently encounter ed is ere 9,nd the same as that cut jn the shaft at a point considerably near CT surface, About fifty-five feet be low the point where the CriIl passed through the ore. it is believed will be found the manganese ore which was cut in the shaft. The manganese ore was cut in the vertical shaft at depth Of $50 feet. It came in Under an iron capp.ng. dipping slightly to the north and when work in the shaft was stopped. fifteen feet below the 350-foot level. the manganese ore was passing out the shaft at the northeast corner
 It is stated in the report from the property tha- the drill entered a prom idng formation after passing out of
 the ore body aaC the result of the next weeks drilling will be awaited with intsrse-.

FAIR MEDAL FOR
 ARIZONA ORE

PheeD.X. Dec.6.-The officers of the Bret Harte Gold Mining company. Q Phoenix corporation, received word yesterday that their exhibition of gold ore from the Bret Harte mine had re- ceived an award at the Worlds Fair and that the same had been confirm ed by the superior jury Of awards.
 This is a distinction that means a great deal when it is remembered that all returning visitors to the fair emphasize the statement that the Ar izola mineral display was especially fine. yet in all there were only eleven mineral awards made on Arizona eX- h.bits, of which the above named is one
 The Bret Harte group of mines is situated near the Black Canyon road, a little less thin fifty miles north of Phoenix. The property is developed sufficiently to demOstTate good val ues cnC the existence of large ore bodies. Years ago it was worked in a smaller way 10 a good profit, and by crude IrOcessts. The present own CTS have further developed it and are now waiting favorable conditions for installation of reduction machinery.

HOW MEXICAN GOVERNMENT ORIGINATED MONOPOLY
To Head Off Mexican central-The Latter Road Was Arranging a Mon opoly on United States Freights. Something About Inspection of Roads in Mexico.

Capt.Jose Cos, inspector of rail ways for the Mexican government. 10 whom is assigned the inspection. of the Nacozahi railroad; the Cananea, Rio Yaqui & Pacific; and the Rio Grande. S.erra Madre & Pacific, was in tow ntoday in pursuit of his official duties. and left for a trip over the Cananea road. These Inspections are made about once monSh, and under the provisions of the federal law. which exacts a most rigid super vision of everything pertaining to railroads in the republic. Not only IS the condition of roadbeds and roll ing stock the subject of minute inves- railways to the travelling public, the matter of freight tariffs, lime sched- rles and a hundred other things be side.
 The government has every road in the republic inspected constantly" remarked Capt Cos to the Budget ma.3. For some of the roads sever al inspectors are required, as in the case of the shorter lines several of them are supervised by one man, as may be instanCsd in my detail.
 In reply to an inquiry the captain remarked that within the past year the government had undertaken the experiment of government ownership of railroads Tt now" he said owns the Mexican National. which runs from Laredo, in the state of Ia maulipas, to the City. a distance of 1900 miles: the Interoceanic, which rjS9s from the City to Vera Cruz, a distance Of 400 miles. and the Tehuan- 5apec line, extending from Coatza- ccelcos to SaIina Cruz. a distance of 2S0 miles The Irteroceanic is leas- ed by the government to Pearson & Son of LonCCn. It has only been within a year that the government has taken over these roads, and it was done to prevent a monopoly in tariffs on freight to and from the United States which was being planned by the Mexican Central Speyer & Co.,. of New York. acted as the agent of the government in the requirement. of these lines So far the expert ment of government owi'ership has worked very satisfactorily.
Bisbee daily review., 1904-12-08

The Calumet and Arizona company through its representatives, Messrs Hovland and Smith. have been quietly at work during the past six weeks buying mining claims, most of which were located last year. until a glance at a map of the district shows that they have succeeded in obtaining ex- actly two sections of land in the flat wing between Don Luis Station and Osborne station.
 The two sections comprise twelve hundred and eighty acres. and since he fact has been Alowp. the question has naturally arisen. what do they intend to do with it?
 The last of the claims needed to make the two sections complete were secured about two weeks ago from Chas Cunningham ct al. About for y claims were transferred in this transaction. One group owned by Cunningham and others consisted Of sixteen claims. Of this number the representatives Of the c. 6 A. took i've. They needed that number O straighten up their claims. After the five cls ms in this group were trans ferred there was an efforl made to dispose of the remaining eleven claims. and they could not be sold for any price. IL is evident that the ground is not beng taken up for min -ng purposes.
 Owing to the fact that two com plete sections have been obtained in his manner gives credence to the re- port that has been in circulation forI some time that the Calum55 & Arizc- na company had in contemplation a tOwnsite in this vicinity that would be ready fo- the market shortly after the New Year
 In this connection -t is also repor- cd that surveyors have about com pleted a survey for a Hume to carry the water from the Calumet & Pitts burg to this particular locality. It is very evident thal the C. & 4. company have plans in the direction of Don Luis and Osborne. Just what. these plans are at present have not been mace public. It may be a smel- ter site or a JOwnsite. probably both surely one or the other
 That the Bonanza Circle crowd are making preparations to do things on a larger scale in 1905 than in 1904 is a certainty. The spring will witness greater activity n this district than ever before. Ore bodies that have been blocked out during the past twelve months are to be hoisted to the surface and sent to the smelter. and more men will be at work in the Bisbee district in April. 1905. than at any other time In the history of tre camp.
 Keep your eye on that piece of ground between Don Luis and Os- borne. There is something Col9g.

ECCLESIASTICAL
BATTLE is OVER

Seattle, Dec. 1O.--Seattle has been
the home for several weeks Of an ae-
tor in one of the most sensational and
determined conflicts that ever arose in
the Catholic church in this country.
Father Harrison, of st. Paul, who
was the pastor of the largest and most
fashionable church in st. Paul, and
who, after q warm argument with
Archbishop ireland, was humiliated by
his superior in being taken from his
church and publicly reprimanded, is a
guest at the Hotel Rainier. Grand,
where he is registered as "John T..
Harrison.
Father Harrison was known as the
most popular Catholic priest st. Paul
had ever known, and it was mainly
through this fact that his congrega-
tion grew rapidly from small gather
ing of worshipers to large and
wealthy congregation. A movement to
erect handsome edi6ee was started,
and the money, nearly 100000, was
pledged by prominent st. Paul bust
ness men, many of them being Protes-
tants.
After the entire amount had been
raised a valuable lot was purchased in
the most exclusive portion of St.
Paul and foundation laid. Archbish-
op Ireland, who also resides in the
SANITY city, announced that the new
church would not be completed, and
that all plans should be abandoned in
favor of the archbishop's plans of
erecting a monster 100000 cathedral.
He also suggested that the moneys
pledged toward the construction of the
new st. Joseph's church should be
turned over to his cathedral fund.
Then arose rebellion in the ranks of
st. Paul Catholics. The st. Joseph
congregation hocked about their pastor,
who, from his pulpit, denounced what
he termed the archbishop's arbitrary
action. Almost all of the contributors
TO the new church fund refused to al
low their pledges to be switched to the
cathedral scheme, and public indigna-
tion meetings were held.
BY Archbishop Ireland's friends,
Father Harrison's action was de-
nounced as Hlese majestic" and the
archbishop Immediately transferred the
st. Paul pastor from his fashionable

church to a very modest pastorate in
Minneapolis.
Father Harrison pleaded illness,
produced Doctors certificate and
asked for a leave of absence, which
was refused him. Pressure was then
brought to bear upon the archbishop,
however, and he finally allowed the
popular pastor sick leave.
In the meantime many leading St.
Paul Catholics, headed by Hon. Daniel
w. Lawler, forwarded a petition of
protest to Pope Leo at Rome.
Finally the clouds of battle drifted
away, and results show that honors are
about even. Father Harrison has been
reinstated, but the new church win not
be built
