BIG CORPORATIONS INTIMATE THAT THEY MAY PACK UP AND LEAVE FARMERS
 BEHIND.
CAN ACCOMPLISH IT
Without the Slightest TroubIe-The TaiIings Are the Cause of the Troubles Between Piowman and Douglas Plant of the Copper Queen is to Be Doubled
Especial to Reyiewl

Douglas. Monday.-C. E. Mills, su printendent of the Detroit Copper com pany, at Morenci, was an E. P & S w. passenger Friday for El Paso. Re garding the extensive litigation threatened by the farmers of the Gila valley to prevent his company. the Arizona Copper company. and the shannon company from emptying tail ings into the river. Mir. Mills was reti- cent about expressing an opinion. but stated that he fealt that the matter would adjust itself satisfactorily. The trouble has been under discussion for several years and expert opinion is divided as to whether the tailings complained of do the harm alleged by the farmers. A few weeks ago a number of the farmers got together and instructed the employment of counsel and the beginning of a suit against the companies.
 As previously told a good many of the farmers of the valley dissent from this action. This dissent has been decidedly augmented in the last sev- eral days by story that has gained circulation to the effect that the com panies have under advisement plans for the removal of the reduction works complained of to point distant from the Gila river and out of the territory which the farmes of the valley might feed
 For some years the farming section tributary to the Clifton Morenci min ing camp have enjoyed prosperity al- most solely through the operation of the extensive reduction works of the camp. Removal, or curtailment of the work of these plants would be a severe blow to the farmers. In the past years the opinion has several times been advanced that the companies could better confine themselves to the removal of ore from Clifton Morenci camp than to go to the large expense some of them would have to entail to do away with the tailings in the river as demanded by the farmers. As all fuel and reduction supplies are hauled into camp it is apparent that it would be about as cheap. if not cheaper, for the companies 10 haul their ores outside for treatment In an interview with a Review represen- ta;ive this week, Superintendent Ben nie, of the shannon. while not pos itively taking this ground. intimated very strongly his belief that some such course would be adopted in the event the farmers crowd their proposition.
 A significant fact in connection with the above is the Tumor in Doug las that the Copper Queen smelter here is soon to be enlarged to double its present size. The Detroit Copper company's ore could probably be smelted here as cheap. if not cheaper. than it can in Morenci

NEW BANK BUILDING
ON MARKET STREET
Contract for Handsome Two Story Structure Soon
TO be Awarded

An important real estate deal was
consummated last Thursday, when
DR.. I. r. Henderson and his associ-
ates purchased Mr.. Saml. j. Stein
the valuable business lot on Market
street just west of the Famous dry
goods store and fronting fifty feet
on Market street,
1t is announced that a contract
will soon be let for the erection
thereon of a handsome two-story
brick and stone building which will
be the home Of a new bank, now
being organized, to begin business
on or about July lst.
The new building will be a mod
ern structure in every respect, and
will be a credit to the growing city

not been permanently organized,

NEW VAGRANCY LAW
WILL BE ENFORCED
City Council viii Very Likely Pass a
Revised Ordinance.

The new Wells vagrancy law which
goes into effect on April 2S, will be rig
idly enforced in Greenwood. At the
next regular session of the City Council
a new ordinance will be presented to
conform with the new State law, and
the city peacemakers will be instructed
to enforce it to the letter.
Under the new law there is nothing
said about fine. 1t is a straight Jail
sentence or nothing. The minimum
penalty is ten days and the maximum
is thirty. The accused Is allowed to
make bond in the sum Of $4,000, in
case an appeal is taken, hut the bond
must be good one,
The fact that fines are altogether
eliminated will work a hardship on Off
cers who have to depend on fees for
their services. This Is really the only
bad feature of the law, and it is prob
able that tho next Legislature will be
called upon to amend it for this reason.

Northern Capital Is Interested In the
Building of the Road.

The promoters Of the proposed clcc-

a practical certainty. Prominent North

the enterprise and it will only be noces-
sary to secure small subscription to
the capital stock from local parties to
close the deal
A meeting of those interested in the
building of the line will be held in few
days when it is expected that the final
will be made and a perma-
nent organization perfected.
The first line will be built to Itta

rlaim and this we will be able to show

Some of the newspapers Of the State
have criticised Governor Nardaman for
employing Judge Hannis Taylor as as
sistant counsel in tho case. Mr.. Me-
Clurg says that this criticism is unjust
that he, himself, selected Judge Tay-
lor as the man best fitted to represent
the state in that capacity Judge Tay-
lor it will he remembered, took an ac-
tive part in the boundary dispute be-
tween this country and Canada when
valuable interests in Alaska were at
stake, and it was largely due to his
splendid ability that the United States
came out victorious. The Mississippi
Louisiana dispute is worry similar in many
respects to the famous Alaskan case,
hence Judge Taylor Is peculiarly nttod

The value Of the property IN ltiga-
ton is estimated at about five million
dollars. Mssissippis attorneys had
already practically completed tho briefs
in the case when the Legislature failed
to make an appropriation for continuing
the fight, and the decision Of the Gov
ernor to assume the responsibility of
additional costs that the case might be

Probability that the Line May Be

In noting the trip made by the Off

"Yico President Finley was deeply inn
pressed with the wonderful resources of
the Delta country, which he had never
before visited, and during the trip gave
the assurance to the Railroad Commits
sion that the Webb branch will he en-
tended to Memphis, and that the active
work of construction will be commenced
in the near future. The officials are also
contemplating southern extension,
and it is not altogether improbable that
the company will build a line from
Greenwood to Yazoo City and thence to
jackson. Nothing taAgible in the way
of plans for such al extension, how
ever, have yet been formed"
