AN EMPIRE BUILDER OF THE WEST

to the management of the Newhouse
company and early in the present Year
one of these machines was placed in
operation on the Cactus property. At
first it was employed in removing
0veiourden from the ore deposits, but
when sufficient surface had been
stripped it was put to work on ore
md at this writing about 40 per cent
Of the ere sent to the mill is mined
n this manner. The shovel is hand
ing between $4,000 and 10000 tons of
material per month, which includes
of course, both ore and overburden.
The plan of operation of the steam
shovel at the Cactus is no less inter
esting than it is at the Boston Con-
solidated and Utah Copper mines in
Bingham. All the ore sent to the mill
comes through the main tunnel to
the crushing plant and bins. That
moved by the steam shovel Is dropped
down through a shaft to the tunnel
level into large chutes where the
mine cars are loaded by gravity. The
rock is blasted out around the shaft
and the procedure eventually forms
gigantic funnel-shaped hole with the
interior presenting a surface from
which ore can be broken down at a
cost of only a few cents ton. The
Cactus is an undertaking of great
magnitude and impresses one more
when it is understood that in the big
ore body of the older portion fverage
little less than 2 per CENT STILL
under conditions less favora' e per-
haps than some of the Bingham COM
Nanies enjoy, the management has
made a splendid paying proposition
out of it. The advantage in favor of
Bingham lies in the fact that the basis
of concentration in about 10 tons into
one, against from Is to % into one in
Bingham. However, the values con-
tanned in the new Cactus ore body re-
Gently developed are so much better
than the Bingham ores that the disad-
vantage is practically overshadowed
Another feature about Cactus ores,
which has enabled the management to
obtain a favorable contract with the
American Smelling & Refining COM
pany, is found in the fact that the
concentrate produced carries an eX-
cess of iron from 10 to 25 per cent,
for which the company receives a
premium of 10 cents per unit or from
81 to 50. so per ton; while concen-
trate from the Bingham porphyries
carries an excess of silica, often as
high as 20 per cent, which is penal
lied correspondingly.
At this time about 100 tons of con-
centrate are being marketed daily,
which has gross valuation, it is said,
of about $50 per ton. This means
that the company is realizing from
operation of its mill about $4,000 per
day and with the plants capacity in
creased and with the shipments of
crude ore, attention to which will be
paid later, the earning capacity of
this mine can readily be arrived at.
Undoubtedly the Cactus is one of the
big copper mines of the country and
is good for steady dividends for a
long time.

KANSAS CRY, KANSAS. GOES DRY
when Result is Announced Mayor
Rose Resigns.


KANSAS CITY, Kan. April 4.-Four Of
the six wards In Kansas City. Kan. hav-
ing declared in today's election against
Mayor W. w. Roses policy of licensing
liquor joints, the mayor sent in his resig-
nation to the city council tonight.
The resignation was unanimously ac-
cepted. Mayor Rose ever since his cleo
ton on the democratic ticket a year ago
has been at war with the Kansas state
administration and temperance people Of
his city over enforcement of the prohibi-
ton law. He has favored licensing the
joints and the state administration has
been unable TO convict a joint keeper ar
rested for selling liquor. Mayor Rose
made his policy an issue in todays cleo
ton for aldermen and was defeated. An
unusually large number of women voted.
f. E. Venard, president OF the council
and a republican, who has bitterly OPP
posed Mayor Roses policy. will be the
acting mayor for ten days. at the eXpra-
tion OF which a special election will be
held to elect a successor to Rose. Mayor
Rose announced tonight that he would en-
ter the race for reelection. and his re-
publican opponent will probably be Police
Judge John r. Sims.
Vernon j. Rose. chief of police, an ardent
supporter of Mayor Rose, also rendered his
resignation tonight which was accepted.
A suit Of custer for non-enforcement of
the prohibition law was pending against
Mayor REESE in the supreme court Of Kan
sas and It would have been called for trial
next Friday. ...
Elections for minor officials were held
today in numerous cities and towns in

MICHIGAN CASE AND RATE BILL
conservative" senators see Hope for
Their Position In Recent De-
cisiOn of Supreme Court.

WASHINGTON, April 3.-Conservative
republican senator's. who have contended
that the house railroad bill will be uncon-
stitutonal If passed without an amend
ment giving to common carriers their day
in court" have accepted yesterdays de-
cision of the supreme court in the Michi-
gan railroad tax case as positive affiTma-
ton Of their position. Several OF these
senators met today in the committee room
OF Senator Aldrich and after a conference
Senator Knox was requested to give his
attention to an examination of the decision
with view 10 informing them just what
bearing 1t will have on the pending rate
bill.
Senator Knox promised TO give the de-
cision his closest attention.
From hasty examination he declared
that it seemed TO be I'm accord with the
opinion he has held since the house bill was
passed by the senate committee without
adoption. Justice Brewer i'm the Michigan
cases said:
In the nation no one of the three great
departments assume to be given the func-
lions Of another, for the constitution dis
tinctly grants to the president, congress
and the judiciary, separately. the execu-
tive legislative and judicial powers OF the
nation II may, therefore, be conceded that
attempted legislation by congress 70 the
president. or any ministerial officer or
board, of power TO fix rate OF taxation
or exercise other legislative functions
would be judged unconstitutional"
Opponents of the railroad rate bill in it's
present form believe that the decision is
applicable to an attempt by congress TO
delegate rate making power to a COM
mission unless the courts are given full
power OF review Of such power. They await
with more than ordinary interest the opin-
ion of the leading lawyers of the senate
Supporters of the house bill are not dis
turbed by the Michigan cases, contending
that the opinion of Justice Brewer is die
tum so far as il concerns pending legisla-
ton. Senators Dolliver and Nelson declare
unhesitatingy that the opinion is not ap-
plicable TO the present case. Senator Long
who addressed the senate today IN support
OF the bill, quoted from the opinion of
Justice Brewer in the maximum rate case.
as To whether congress in fact conferred
the rate making power upon the Interstate
Commerce commission, the following:
There were three obvious and dissirn-
liar courses open for consideration. Com
gress might / tself prescribe the rates. or
It might commit 10 some subordinate trib-
unal this duty, or II might leave with the
companies the right to make rates. sub
ject to regulations and restrictions as wen
as to that rule which is as old as the ex
istence Of common carriers, TO wit, that
rates must be reasonable"

Norway.

SIOUX FALLS. s. D., April 3.-(Special)
The mystery surrounding the disappear

at least partially solved. Reliable informa-
ton has been received here 10 the effect
that recently, Immediately prior "a the de-
parture OF Mrs. Sven for hardwood, Ia,
to take up her permanent home with rels-
tives at that place, she received letter
from her missing husband, who is alive
and well. Sven wrote and mailed the let
ter at Bergen, Norway, and It's receipt
confirms the belief OF many that he had
not been murdered, as was supposed but
would eventually turn out at his old home
in Norway. There is now little doubt that
because OF domestic difficulties Sven quietly
left Sioux Falls and Minnehaha county
for his old home in Europe IL was In
connection with his disappearance that
twenty-four persons were recently arrested
in this city on suspicion of having been
implicated in or knowing something con-
corning his disappearance.
