years or SO ago, this salary was in.
creased to $4,000. Under the proposed
reorganization of Senator Lodges bill,
Mr.. Hanna Is listed as a consul at a
salary Of $500 with no fees.
Just prior to the passage OF the bill
in the senate, Senator Dolliver again
called Lodges attention to this mat
ter and the latter said that he had
personally looked up the matter, and
that the post at Monterey, Mexico,
where Mr.. Hanna Is stationed, is
consulship. He said, however, that If
any change should be necessary that
it could be fixed in the house or in
conference.
Senator Lodge asserts that the
state department reported that Mon,
terey is a consulate. To your cores
pondent the chief of the consular bu-
reau stated that it was consulate
general.
Praise for Hepburn.
Congressman Adamson Of Georgia,
a member of the committee on inter-
state and foreign commerce in the
course Of his remarks on the railroad
rate bill, said: after thorough
study of al these bills which had been
referred to us, all the members of our
committee, twelve republicans and six
democrats, ignoring party considera-
tons, seeking the country's good
alone, from mutual contribution ami
concession, have unanimously agreed
upon the pending bill. In Its prepare
ton the great statesman whose name
it bears, Colonel Hepburn), and who
would be a great and honest man in
any party or country, rendered serv-
ices which merit the undying graft
tude Of our people.
"The distinguished chairman of our
committee, the gentleman from Iowa,
took such advanced position and intro
duced such splendid bill, that it was
hailed by us with delight. We could
i not afford to abandon our position,
broad enough for joint occupancy,
merely because others sought to share,
defend and improve 1t with u.s.

scale be continued. The motion was
lost, as it required, under the rules, a
unanimous vote to carry any of the
principal propositions The operators
of Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania,
voted for the motion and the Illinois
operators declined to vote. The min
ers OF Ohio, Indiana and Illinois voted
against the proposition.
Patrick Dolan, president of the
Pennsylvania miners, voted his state
for the motion, which caused an up
roar among the miners. His right to
vote the Pennsylvania miners for the
continuance of the present scale in
spite of the fact that the Pittsburg
convention had voted for an increase
was challenged by several other Penn
sylvania miners, but on an appeal to
the chair the vote was so recorded.
The motion to adjourn sine die was
made by Mr. Robbins Immediately
following the announcement that the
proposition of the operators as en-
bodied in his motion had been
defeated.
DoIan's Vote Challenged.
When Dolan voted Eyes, for the
Pennsylvania miners he was chal-
lenged Dolan arose and said: 81
have authority to cast the vote for the
Pennsylvania miners, and until that
authority is taken away from me I
vote yes" There were loud cries Of
NO" Throw him out" and well
take the authority away from him.
President Mitchell said: "The con-
vention of the miners decided to re-
fuse the proposition just presented
and the miners vote no.
Mr.. Robbins said the miners had the
right to vote by states unless their
president assumed the position Of a
dictator President Mitchell said he
did not assume such position.

dorsed the report of the scale commit

Secretary Wilson announced that he
would refuse to announce the vote I'M
til it should be decided how the vote
was cast.
Quarrel Over Authority.
A Pittsburg delegate stated that Mr.
Dolan did not express the sentiment
of the Pennsylvania miners A voice
shouted that Mr.. Dolan was president
of the district anG had authority to
cast the vote for the Pennsylvania
miners. Another Pennsylvania dele.
gate said he would like to know where
Mr.. Dolan got his authority to cast
| the vote as he did.
1 Mr.. Robbins appealed to the chair
for a decision as to whether the sec
rotary should rot be required to an
nounce the vote. The chair said
Each state has four votes. Mr. Do
Ian has the right to announce the vote
of the Pennsylvania miners. The mo
ton is lost"
/ Mr.. Robbins at once moved that the
joint conference adjourn sine die. This
was carried amid some confusion.

Contractor E. E. Cochreham during the month of May did 100 feet of work in 21 days-an unusually good show ing in that length of time. The incline, in which all Of the work of this com pany has so far been done, is now down to depth of 215 feet. Some time this month, or whenever a depth of 250 feet shall have been reached, Engineer s. S. Badger intends to drift in order to crosscut the formation says the Paradise Record.
 The ground is looking good. MT. Cochreham says, the formation being similar to that encountered by him ill the Cochise some time ago.
 Since the above was put in type we learn from NIT. R. D. Hall that both water and ore were struck in the in- cline Wednesday, at a depth of 225 feet, and that at present there are two feet of ore in the bottom of the incline. Water was not encountered In sufficient quantities to interfere seriously with the progress of the work. The ore is sulphides of copper. Samples of it have been sent away tC be assayed.
 MT. Hall further stated that it had been decided to sink $50 feet before drifting-100 feet deeper than was originally intended. A steam hoist is planned, and should water flow into the incline so much as to hinder far ther sinking a steam pump will be in- stalled. -

Object to Extension of Perci- nilIo Forest Reserve in Ad-
 zona and New Mexico.

DOUGLAS, June 14.-(Special.)-
 c. T. Hattox is a resident Of the Animas valley in New Mexico, who IS here this week for the purpose of en- listing the aid of the people of Doug las in an effort to prevent the exten- sion of the Percinillo forest reserve in territories of New Mexico and Arizona. Mir. Hattox says he Is here by request of the citizens of h:s locality. who have settled in a district proposed to be incorporated in the new forest reserve, and who are now aroused over the proposed action Of the government, which would practi- cally deprive them of their land and taking out irrigation ditches.
 Mir. Hattox was in Las Cruces, New Mexico. a few days ago for the pu |. pose of makins some additional fil- rigs upon az Icultura' lands in the Aaimas valley. He was informed by the land office officials hat no filings could be accepted penciLg a decision by the department, at Washington on the application of the forester for the establishment in that locality of a for est reserve, which had been filed for approval on March last.
 This was Jne IiTSl iullindtlOu NuS settlers in that section had that the forester had made an application for a forest reserve. Upon his return to his home Mir. Hattox wrote Governor Hagerman, of New Mexico, and was today in receipt of a letter from the governor stating that he had writ ten the forester at Washington for a map showing the proposed lines of he extension of the Percillo forest re- serve. -.
 MT. Hattox states that the land pro- posed to be made into forest reserve is not timber land, but is a rich agri- cultural district, artesian water being plentiful at depth of six to twelve feet below the surface The western line of the reserve, if approved by the land office at Washington, would run nine miles east of Douglas, and an ef- fort will be made to have the busi- ness men of this city make a protest to Washington for the reason that a rich agricultural district, capable of supporting a big population. would be lost as a tributary to this city proyid- ed the reserve is established.

LOCAL COPPERS SAME No Improvement in Market, North Butte Going Lowest
 in Months. NEXT MONTH GIVES
 PROMISE OF BETTER.
(By Frank ]. Graf.)

BISBEE, June 14.-There is no i'm provement in the Bisbee copper mar ket and most holders of stocks are waiting for news on the consolidation. To those we would advise that the consolidation will go through without any trouble at all. The principal features in the days market was the decline that took place in most cop per stocks and more so North Butte, reaching the lowest figures 1t has seen for some months. It might be possi- ble that it will reach $S5, but we would think it good buy at present figures for at least g advance on ten-point margin. Greene Consolidated and Old Dominion also declined, the for mer closing at s25.12 and the latter at S39, within two points of the low price before the Frisco disaster.
 American and Warren hold well around the present prices, while the Bonanza Circle is being oered freely at s19.50.
 Butte Coalition also fell in line with the balance of the coppers, and at the close was offered at $32. Denn sold of al $1S.50. Arizona Commercial de- clined three points from yesterday s oLening. We would advise our clients to watch the market the next month for there is no doubt that there are many stocks that are selling below tEeir value.

NEW CONCENTRATING
 PI AMT IS TESTED

 The plant consists of Dodge crush CT, Automatic feeded, rolls, elevator, two trommels, a four compartment jig. Huntington mill, classifier, two Wilfley tables and a Frue Vanner. There are six settling tanks from which a centrifugal pump pumps the water back into the mill. Two Erie boilers and an Erie Automatic en- zine of 105 horse power furnishes the power for the plant.
 The mill machinery was purchased of the Fl Paso Foundry & Machine Co.,, Fl Paso. Texas, which firm furnished the plant complete. The same firm also furnished the electric plant.
 The mill building was built by the Stafford Lumber Co.,, Stafford, Arizona. The large reservoir was built by Dan- iel R. Kemp, Thatcher, Ariz.
 The contract for hauling ore to mill from the dumps was given to D. V. A. Talley, of Graham, Arizona, and the hauling of ore was started June l. It is the intention of the company to run the dumps through the mill first. A raise Of three feet has been made on San Juan shaft, and the tracks will be laid from shaft to the mill. The electric plant will be used for lighting mill, the power house at shaft, and also furnish light for houses on property.
 It is expected that the mill will begin a regular run the latter part of this week. and the first shipment of concentrates and ore will be made in ten days.
 A large shaft on San Juan Is being repaired. new timbers being placed for the erection of a pumping plant tc supply the water needed for mill. This shaft is 325 feet deep, with. severa long tunnels and is fun of water For the present the San Juan mine will furnish the water needed for this | run.-
