PHELPS-D0DGE COMPANY
MAY BUILD ROLLING MILL
And Construct Much Of Its Rolling
Stock at the Proposed New
Shops in Ell Paso

1t is said that in addition to the build
ing of railroad shops in FL Paso by the
Phelps-Dodge company, that company
will, before a year is out, establish
another industry in the city which will
mean the employment of great many
men. The new industry is said to be
nothing more nor less than coke ovens,
a rolling mill and car factory.
According to the statement of one of
the officials of the Phelps Dodge COM
pany their principal object in acquiring
the FL Paso & Northeastern interests
was to get possession of the Dawson
coal fields Of course, this company
has plenty of use for coal as fuel in its
natural state, but it is said that they
will also find a use for the coal by max.
ing it into coke. Recently a coal ex-
pert from Pennsylvania accompanied
Professor Douglas and General Mana
ger Summons on a tour of inspection to
the Dawson coal fields and pronounced
the coal to be of fine coking grade.
1t is said that the company then con-
cluded to install coke ovens in this city.
where the coal from the Dawson fields
will be brought and burned into coke.
With coke produced right here the com
pany will then be in position to turn
1t into profitable use by establishing a
rolling mill for the manufacture of their
car wheels and other iron material used
IN making cars. To this, it is said, will
be added car factory for the building
Of freight cars and thus an industry of
considerable Importance will be added
to FL Paso.
A great many of the large railroads
of the country are building their own
freight cars and it is not at all improb-
able that the Phelps-Dodge people will
go into the same money saving bust
ness, for with plenty of coke for fuel
and iron ore in abundance in their Han
over mines near Silver City they would
certainly be IN position to manufac-
ture every bit of running gear to be
used about freight car.
From their timber fields in the Sac
ramento mountains they can produce
all the lumber that is used in the con
struction of freight cars and thus car
building could be made as easy for this
railraod as it is for the large companies
IN the east. Ell Paso Times.
Later General Manager Simmons
said, on June q, that work would be-
gin on the new shops within ten days.
The necessary land has been purchased
in Bassett's addition Ell Paso people
will donate a portion of the cost as an
to locate the shops.

Mo Clue to His whereabouts.

Fort Dodge, Dec. 30.-Arved Nelson,
a gypsum miner employed at the mines
of the Plymouth Gypsum Company, has
since last Saturday morning. The man
asked to be called early that morning
saying that he had some work to do
before going to the mines. He was
called by others and got up and dress
ed. When he did not return for break
fast the others wondered the cause of
his absence, but nothing was done.
When he did not show up that evening
his brother with whom he roomed,
examined his locker and found that the
best suit of his brothers clothes was
gone, but his working clothes and other
things were still there.
Although all were worried the alarm
was not telephoned to Fort Dodge un-
til Friday. Nelson boards at the home
of G. L. Peterson. who holds the posi-
ton of foreman at the mine. Peterson
says his employe has some wages due
him, and that he cannot think of any
cause for his sudden disappearance.
At first it was thought he had gone
to Rockford, ILL.,, to visit his brother.
who lived there, but on finding that he
had not arrived there, the brother here
became worried and gave the alarm.
Nelson is aged 26 years, and has light
wavy hair. He was dressed in black
suit, and wore heavy overcoat when
he disappeared.

Webster City, Dec. 30.-County Clerk
Frank j. Lund of this city is making
a most laudable record in the matter
of collecting fees for costs in trials had
in court and which the litigants have
never paid. In forcing the collections
of these, many of which are old ac-
counts of years standing, The is stirring
up all kinds of opposition from non
resident litigants, especially certain
firms and wholesale houses doing bust
ness with Webster City merchants. So
bitter has this opposition become that
a number of these firms will only do
business with their Webster City Gus
toners on a cash-in advance basis, for
fear that the county will attach the
sums of money owed them by the To-
cal trade for stock purchased.
OF a half a dozen instances Of this
latter kind, particular one has just
come to the notice of Clerk Lund. The
wholesale house concerned is a Chicago
furniture firm. The first effect of the
pressure on this firm came in the way
of letter to Webster City COM
pany which has bought furniture from
the house for twenty years. The Web
ster City company had just sent the
firm small order. A copy of the or
der was returned together with the
statement that cash would have to &C
company any future orders. The letter
then recited that there We're certain
costs standing in this county against
the wholesale house and that for fear
an attempt would be made to attach
any sums owed them by the Webster
City firm, no more open accounts
could be carried, but that cash must
accompany all future orders
The Webster City merchant was as
founded and at first hardly UNDER
stood the import Of the letter. He had
always discounted his bills for cash
and was at loss to understand why
he must pay cash in advance. Clerk
Lund, however, solved the mystery for
him and the merchant was wroth, in
deed. He wrote the wholesaler can
ceiling his order and denouncfng the
methods they were adopting to es-
cape costs made by them and honestly
owed. The Webster City merchant will
carry the matter even further, how
ever. He will take the letter written
by this company to the state meeting
of the Iowa Furniture Dealers Asso-
citation next month and read 1t in open
convention. 1t is hardly believed that
the association will stand for the

In Peculiar Manner
SEEKS TO PROVE OWNERSHIP
Mrs. Brown, Now Of Boulder, Col, Dis
covers That UnbeIsnownst to Her,
Property on Which She Had Been
Paying Taxes For Eight Years, Was
Transferred to Another Long Ago.
Special to Tlmes-Republican.


Special to Times Republican
Iowa City, Dec. 30.-After having
paid taxes on property she had pur-
chased in Clord county, Kas., in 1895,
for eight years, Mrs. Louisa I. Brown.
formerly of this city, was informed by
the recorder of the county that she had
transferred the property while she was
living in Lockport, N. Y, that year and
that she no longer held any interests
there. Upon investigation she dis
covered that deed to her property
had been executed in Lockport, and
sworn to by a woman giving her name,
which transferred the property to a
man by the name of Scott. The records
of the county show that Scott had sold
the property within a few days after
he recalved it under the New York
deed to man by the name Of Ripple,
who still occupies The place.
AS soon as the investigation had
shown these facts Mrs. Louisa I.
Brown, who now lives at Boulder, Col,
began taking steps to show that she
had never been in New York state at
the time that deed was made. That
intact at that time she was resident
Of Boulder, and that she is the real
owner Of the property. Local people
have been appealed to for testimony
and affidavits, which will be forward
ed. The theoretical explanation OF the
alleged crime is that some woman, in
the interests of Scott, made the deed
at Lockport, N. Y, using the name OF
Mrs Brown. This deed was then for
warded to Scott, who had it recorded
and then sold the land to an innocent
