Douglas, Ariz., May 1S.-(Special.)- )-
 The mining industry in the vicin- ity of MocteZuma Sonora. is making excellent progress. so far as develop ment is concerned" said H. L. Percy the mining partner of Patsy Clark, of the state of Washington. yesterday as he took the train for the west. "A great many properties have recently passed into the, hands of eastern par ties who are getting ready to open them up and make producers of them. Strangers are arriving at Moctezuma every day in search of mines which can make snowings sufficient to war rant the spending of money in their development.
 Development is what is wanted now in the Moctezuma country and in my opinion there is not a mineral district in the southwest that gives greater inducements to capital than the section of country tributary to MocteZuma. .
 My property is twenty miles south of Moctezuma and we are proceeding with development and expect to have a valuable producer as result of our investments.
 MT Soto, who owns a stage line be- tween Nacozari and Moctezuma has secured a very valuable mine and is packing a large amount of rich ore to MocteZuma. His shipments amount to four cars per month and at this rate Mir. Soto will soon be well along on easy street as the ore is exceed ingly rich.
 R S. Vickers is one of the busiest men at MocteZuma and has a variety of important enterprises on Eand; he has the management of the bank, has a store and a mining office through which several very important mining deals have been consummated."
 The enthusiasm of MT Percy over the future of the Moctezuma country is in line with that of all others who visit that section, The district is greatly handicapped now because of it's long distance from railroad ac- commodation, but it is hoped that within the next few years the Naco- zari road will be extended through that rich mineral country.

Morsan's Blunder.

With sublime confidence in the safety
and sanity of the Chicago electorate, j.
Pierpont Morgan and his associates paid
$36, 100000 for the control Of the Chicago
street car systems only few weeks be-
fore the election. Mr.. Morgan was led
into this investment on the advice of
John ]. Mitchell, president of the Illinois
Trust and Savings bank, the largest fis-
cal institution in Chicago. Mr. Mitchell
has long been recognized as the leading
speculator in Chicago franchises and an
authority on Chicago corporation values.
He has been hitherto uninterruptedly sue
cessful in his operations along these lines.
but this time he seems to have misjudged
the temper of the Chicago community
and to have placed at the mercy of a
new and startlingly radical administra-
ton huge amount of the Morgan capt.
tai. The experiment of municipal alb
sorption of great corporation interests
will receive striking illustration within
the next few months in Chicago, 1t being
the announced determination of Mayor
Dunno to proceed with the greatest vigor
to carry out the desire of the citizens as
expressed through the ballot box in favor
of municipal ownership of the street car
systems. The threat is thinly yelled that
if the street car companies do not yield
their properties at a fair valuation ex-
treme measures will be adopted, even to
the point of summary confscation. The
gas properties of Chicago are protected
by long time franchise and can hardly
be interfered with. although If the ex-
pertinent with the street cars pans out
to the satisfaction of the Chicago people
they may get at the gas outfit through
the indirect means of oppressive ''regula-
ton" There Is no immediate prospect of
this, however. as the management of the
gas company Is now on fairly good terms
with the Chicago authorities.

,,outbnieee in Wall street to forecast the

gave fair warning of the Presidents IN
tention to call special session OF Con
rress about the middle or OCTOBER TO
enact rate legislation and lodge III the
hands of the government increased power
for the regulation of interstate commerce.
II also conveyed the information that the
limited States Senate had passed from
the control of the Aldrich coterie, ana
under the inspiration of an overwhelming
public opinion would pass such laws as
the White House might dictate
If is evidently the conviction of Mr..
Roosevelt that he has the Senate whipped
and that he will be able to crowd through
any measures he may desire. The au-
thorized statement even goes so far as to
saw that the fear now is that Congress
go too far and pass laws even riore dras-
tice than the President can stand for, in
which event veto is promised-the exc :
utive position to be ever fearless and
uncompromising for the right. protecting
the railroads as we'll as the multitudes
from oppression.
N mention Is made in this programme
for a law putting the Standard OILS pipe

sions, but it can be stated that such a
move is under way and that the purpose
thereof Is to compel the Standard Oil
company to give independent producers
the right to use these channels of trans
portation for the shipment of petroleum

COTTON pecrease Predlcted.

Miss Giles, one of the best known and
best qualified authorities on cotton, esti-
mates a decreased cotton acreage of Y
per cent as compared with last year and
a decrease of rs per cent in the use Of
fertilizers. This latter estimate has di-
rect bearing on the market values of Vir-
giria Carolina Chemical, a heavily capi-
talized corporation engaged in the manu-
facture of fertilizers which find their
principal sale in the south. Virginia-Car-
olina Chemical pulled itself out of finan-
cial hole something like a year ago by
paying a usurious commission of $1,000 600
for a loan of S5,000.000 with which to take
up floating indebtedness. According TO
a report recently filed with the New York
stock exchange 1t would appear that the
company is still carrying a large float
ing debt, although official denial Is made
of limitations that further financing will
be needed in the near future. 1t is Off
cially stated that the order book shows
100000 tons, while the capacity of pro-
duction is only $4,000 tons for the year.
No mention is made at the office of the
company of any wholesale cancellation
of orders. although Miss Giles distinctly
announces a reduction of % per cent In
the demand. From Richmond and other
southern points come reports of more or
less cancellation of orders. although no
definite figures are given.

Gas Inquiry Proceeding.

The inquiry into the New York gas mo-
nopoly is proceeding inteligently, to the
pronounced edification and enlightenment
of the populaee. 1t has been disclosed
that the Consolidated Gas company is a
sure enough octopus, and that 1t holds
an absolute monopoly on the gas and
electrical business of Manhattan and the
Bronx; also that the bedrock cost of gas
Is less than 30 cents per 1000 feet, whereas
consumers pay with more or less cheer
fulness 81 per thousand for a much dl-
luted and wlnd-blown article. What the
investigation will amount to is conjec.
tural The surmise is that the only diff
ference between conditions in the future
and now will be that the victims of thu
extortion will know exactly how badly
they are hit instead of being in the darh
on that subject. Whatever satisfaction
there may be In this, consumers are wei

could be transferred to other companies
and the surplus of $s00O0,000 left prac-
tically unimpaired for division and dis
tribution among the stockholders in the
S1O0, 900 corporation. This latter can
hardly be consummated, however without
every point and issue being threshed out
in the courts and the rights of the policy
holders and the corporathsrion share
holders established by the highest tribu-
nails. Representatives of the policy hold
ers insist hotly that they have a right
to this surplus in whole or in large part,
and they will not be satisfied until the
questions are determined by the supreme
court Before the trouble is over 1t is
entirely probable the scope of the official
inquiry will be extended to take in other
companies doing business in this state
1t Is openly asserted that the direction
of the financial affairs of other companies
is open to criticism scarcely less sensa-
tional than that now directed against the
Equitable management. The final result
will unquestionably add to the security
of policy holders and to the cleaner
handling of the enormous trusted funds
of the 1000 600 and more contributors.

Famous Wheat Deal Recalled.

The attempt by E. L. Harper to get
himself through the bankruptcy courts is
recalling to mind the famous Harper
wheat deal, the most picturesque of all
the sensational corners in grain ever at

of the Fidelity National bank of Cincin-

$10.000000 in addition to which Harper
