YOU got to orferT' Then the value OF
preparation and foresightedness was
apparent. Mr.. Witte- seldom had q
crystalized counter proposition TO
make. But on the other hand, when
ever Mr.. Wltte succeeded In leading
his adversary into the realm Of argu-
msnt, where previous preparation
availed nothing. he had Baron Komu'
IA at disadvantage One OF those
present likened Baron KOmurs TO q
horse in cylinders" as long as be was
on the beaten road with his work cut
out ahead Of him, no got along swim
mingly, but the instant he was on the
road into the woods with the blind
ers" removed, he appeared to be con-
fused and lost and hastened back a
speedily as possible to the road ne
had mentally traversed so often and
with every foot Of which he was 10
millar.
While a full synopsis Of the treaty
will be cabled to the governments Of
the two countries, the actual text
will not be known at Toxic or St. Pc
tersburg until the plenipotentiariei
arrive. Mr.. Witte will personally
convey the text to ST. Petersburg and
Baron Komura to Toxic This Is the
real reason why both are anxious tc
get home as soon as possible, as the
treaty does not go into force until the
two emperors have signed II.
The signing Of the treaty is. to DC
a very. exclusive aHfaIr: The Japanese
objected to the presence of any news
paper correspondents or photogra'
pliers, and 1t has therefore been de'
clded that beside the plenipotentla
ries and secretaries there shall b
present only Assistant Secretary
Peirce, representing the president;
Gov. McLane, Of New Hampshire; tht
mayor Of Portsmouth, Admiral Mead
commander of the navy yard. and tht
commanders Of any United Statei
ships in the harbor.
The 18th and concluding article Of
the treaty provides that the exchange
of ratificatlons shall occur within 81
days after its signature by the plenipo-
tentairies. The Russian ratification
will be communicated to the Japanese
government by the French minister
at Toxic and Mr.. Meyer. the American
ambassador at st. Petersburg viii
communicate the Japanese ratification
to the Russian government.

he Calumet & Arizona.

While both of the reduction plants were located here az aDout the same time, the Calumet and Arizona was the pioneer and turned out the first copper produced in Douglas. This plant is located two miles west of the town site of Douglas, near the Agua Prieta river, and in close prox- imity to the E. = & S. w. railroad. It was blown in on the 18th day of No vember, 1902, and from that hour to this there has never been a time when there was not a blast in it's furnaces and copper blowing in it's converters. It is not the intention here to attempt any accurate descrip- tion of the great reduction works of this company, or to go into technical details in regard to it's method of handling and mixing ores or produc- ing copper The plant was erected to handle the company's ores from its own mine at Bisbee, which had been developed into a property of  vast proportions and marvellous rich ness. The plant itself, while not as large, is as complete in every detail and arrangement as any copper re- duction property ever constructed in this country. Two furnaces of the latest and most improved type, and three converter stands with two con verters always in active operation, make up the reduction plant proper. From three hundred and fifty to four hundred men are employed every day in the year, with eight hour shifts and satisfactory. wages. Ever since the plant was blown in it has .produc- ed more copper than its figured car pacity. It had hardly been in oper- ation six months when it became nee essary to double it's capacity, and

There has as yet been nothing given out definitely regarding the Houghton shut down further than that work has been suspended at the property. It is rumored that the shut down is only temporary and that there will be re sumption just as soon as new plans of development are decided upon. However, there is no confirmation of this. In the same connection it is said that the company has no less confidence in its ground than ever, but that it does not carry further confi' dence in the manner of development to this time pursued. The fact re- mains that the neighborhood of the Houghton, with Glance and Pittsburg & Hecla shut down, is at the present time a painfully idle one. Portage Lake is the only ray of hope on the horizon, resumption there or extensive development on new lines, with the money and machinery behind IT to successfully carry out the proposed exploitation, continues to be confident ly talked about. The machinery for the work, which has been reported to De ready in the east, has not yet reach. ed the ground.

The ground or which it's principal work was done and where its equipment is located, however. is back in it's hands. The balance of the ground, Secretary Bateman affirms, will be taken back Indications point to the conclusion that the men of means behind the new or ganization wish to know more about the situation at the property from per. sonal observation before they go in stronger than they have already gone and that Secretary Bateman was clothed with limited power to act on his recent visit. in view of which he accomplished much.

Q e H MODERN REORGANIZATION

As was intimated some weeks ago, reorganization plans for the Modern are in course of formation. During the last week important steps were taken in the matter and there is feeling now that success will attend the efforts that are to be put forward. Lately an expert examination of the property was made and it is upon this that the effort at reorganization is based. The report is understood to have been en- couraging and to have pointed the way from findings that have been made by development to date to future sue cess in the event of the money being put into the company to carry out a systematic plan of development. It is now expected that the next month will determine whether success will attend the effort to revive the property and bring it into activity once more.

 Labor conditions in both of the smelters are now and have always been in the most satisfactory condi- tion. Good wages are paid, and in all of the reduction parts of the plant three shifts are worked. There has never been any attempt to union ize labor at this place. The men are of a high grade of intelligence, and are satisfied with both the hours and the wages paid.
 Smelling in DougIas IS in it's in fancy. Only two years and half since the first bar of copper bullion was turned out here. The possibili- ties are limitless.

WOLVERINE 6 ARIZONA.

At the Wolverine & Arizona there has been a good deal found in the last week to give much encouragement to those engaged in the development of the property. The Fenner drift has given this encouragement, having en- tered much more broken ground than it had at any previous time. There is also much present in the way of highly promising iron showing. The drift is now in about 750 feet, fact which in itself tells that things are being crowded along lively under. ground at the property. It is said that the showing now in hand at the drift is better than there had been expectation of before the drift had reached point much further in. What has been found tends to substanti- ate the correctness of the theory upon which the drift was started. In the drift from the 300 level about 200 feet have been made. This ground is also looking very well, though there is of course not as yet anything like the showing that has been secured iD the Fenner drift. In the shaft the water continues to decline steadily. It is now at about the GOO level So long as the water continues sinking in response to the pumping of neigh bors there is not likely to be any hurry on the part of the Wolverine people about putting on pumps to en. able them to resume sinking, partic- ularly with the drifts engaging their attenion in so agreeable a manner as they are now performing.

 THE BlSBEE- ARIZONA.

At the property of the Bisbee-Arizo' na there is more activity than at any of the properties out the Tombstone divide way. Three shifts are be ing worked by the Bisbee-Arizona in the drift it is running. This drift is aimed to cut a big dyke, several hun dred feet ahead. IL is not expected that anything of value will be found there in the way of actual ore, the drift being altogether a prospecting proposition. When cut, however, the dyke is expected to point the way definitely to the ore body that is he ieved by the Bisbee-Arizona people to be in their ground. With this information in hand the company ex' poets to commence sinking in earnest The money to carry out the plans in this direction that are now entertain ed is said to be in hand and before the present run is stopped the compa' ny expects to have made mine.

Little Miss MalIey, Three Hours Old
 When Presented With Deed.

Doubtless the youngest lot owner in the county is a little daughter born Friday to Mir. and Mrs. James Nal ley, of the Hedberg addition at Don Luis. Mir. Malley is miner at the Wolverine & Arizona. Yesterday af- ter the daughter arrived al his home he was approached by Fred Hedberg and asked the young ladies' name MaIley said he did not know as yet Hedberg replied that it was time to find out, as he wanted to know so that he could make out deed to the little girl for a lot in the addition. This, he said, was the due of the first child born in the addition and he proposed that little Miss Malley should have it. The deed was later in the day made out and recorded.
