 build the railroad from Naco to Cam anea and still hold the control of the company and the confidence of hiE early associates: during the early days there was a shortage in the supplies at the Greene camp many times and and often the men in charge grew de- spondent over the future of the camp because of the non-arrival of promised supplies, but Col. Greene never wavered and his personality was such as to in- spire renewed hope whenever he put in an appearance whether he had funds to meet the payroll or not $
 After the plant was started things began to come easier for the Cananea magnate, but still he was pursued by first one and then another on Wall street: it seemed that the Wall street sharks had got the idea that the man who could down Bill Greene and re-
 move him from the control of the Cam lions, but would also win fame as a financial hero; a mania seemed to have taken posseion of all the Wall street magnates to strangle the intrepid fin ancier and mine owner from the sage brush. Often premature reports reach ed the public prints that Bill Greene had been put down and out of the of the Cananea company but always Greene was able to count

He was able to rake to- gether about $12,000 and with this he established a camp where Cananea now is and began the development copper world. For a long time the struggle was hard and sufficient to have discouraged a man of less cour- age and determination; expensive liti- gation grew out of an attempt of oth- CTS to secure possession of the mines, after development work had begun t' show their great value; this litigation was fought through all courts of Mex ico and at many points in the United States-PhoeniX.

A MINE NEAR TROY.
Jack Newman Sells an Interest to N

Jack Newman returned Sunday from Troy in Pinal county. where he went to look after his mining interests. which are very extensive in that locality. Soon after his return to Globe MT. Newman renewed his old acquaintance with N. l.. Amster. president of the Arizona Commercial and the shannon Copper companies. and incidentally sold Mir Amster a half interest in the Century group of claims at Troy. MT. Newman states that the entire amount of the consideration will be expended for development work on the claims and that the work will be prosecuted on a large scale. The Century group is located a short distance from the Manhattan mine, which has recently passed to the control of the Calumet & Arizona interests and which were formerly owned in part by Mir.

THE cOCHISE.

Reports have been circulated around the streets of the city for the past few days to the effect that ore had been encountered in the Cochise property. and that it was of high grade.
 When asked concerning the report. Charles Jones. manager of the COchise Development company. said: Some time ago we encountered lead of ore in the drift on the 800 level, but at that time did not follow it up to any great distance. A few days ago We started to raise on the lead. and up to the pB9I 9ul psMoUoJ 9ABq 9un lu9ssLd through twelve feet of ore. which runs pretty high in copper. The drift is now in something like 975 feet. and the raise is almost directly under the Mex ican Catholic church on Chihuahua Hill. The property is looking very well and development work will be prosecu- ted vigorOusly."-Bisbee Review.

 Before the acquisition of the Cananea mines the selling or market value of the Cole-Ryan interests was estimated at $SS.OOO,0O0. The reorganization or the Cananea gives it a quoted value or a total valuation for the Cole Ryan Greene interests of s163.- 100000. The new copper combine is the chief factor today in the copper world. Though there are thousands of good mines without the ownership. within 1t is sufficient power to give it practical control of the cop per world-that is no important oper- ation can be conducted without con sideration of the attitude that will be taken by the Cole interests.

THREE BLACK BUTTEs
 OR RYlkND MINE.
Systematic Development Work by the
 Monarch Cor Near Wickenburg.

With the history of its development
 dating back to May, 1903. few. if any. mines in the county can show such a tonnage of ore blocked out and in sight as the "Three Black Buttes." To- cated about nine miles east of Wick enburg and owned by the Monarch Mining and Smelling company. says the Journal Miner. There is. accord ing to the estimate of conservative en- gineers, at least S5O.OOO tons of ore blocked out and ready to be stopped when the new 50-tOn concentrating plant being installed will be started on a steady run in the early part of next year.
 "The property is better known as the old residents of the county as the "Ry- land Mine.' many being familiar with its early history, when some high grade ore taken from its shallow openings startled the district by its richness.
 "A new hoisting plant was purchased and shipped to the mines on the 18th of this month, which will be erected at the working shaft, now 355 feet deep. the sinking of which will be resumed as soon as the hoist is installed and con- tinued until the 600 foot level is reach ed. when the driving of an extensive system of drifts and cross cuts on the great vein will be commenced.
 ''In addition to the sinking of this shaft. which has been done since the Monarch company assumed control. over HOO feet of tunnel work has been done. representing an outlay of over $50,000 and under the direction of Charles w. Platt, general manager of the concern. the mine, as it now stands. with reduction plant almost installed. being a lasting monument to the en- ergy and good judgment he displayed in its development

The attitude of the insurance trust

alarm. The government of the United

TAINTED MONEY

The democratic of Wisconsin in their

try that the republican national com
10 ittee has not made restitution of the
large sums received from the Life In
surance corporations tilched from the
funds that should have been sacred to
the widows and orphans of policy hold
ers. The plank adopted condemns the
republican party for the acceptance Of
the policy holders money and demands
that the same be restored. Now Presi-
dent Roosevelt has five months holiday
before him, there can be no excuse. for
his not taking up the matter with
Chairman Cortelyou and ordering that
restitution of these tainted funds be
made to their rightful owners.

CAMPAIGN FUNDS
The Fat Will Still be Fried Out OF The

The New York Tribune, respectable

There will be no effort to get contri-
buttons from corporations, they de-

That however hardly explains why

Representatives of the Tillman bill
which prohibited contributions from

paign and who especially bled three

Such a committee of course would
make mo effort to get contributions
from corporations" but while the com.
mittee's morals have become impregn-
able, how about the corporations.
1t would seem quite probable that
the railroads, whose rates are to be reg
ulated by the republican party might
insist on making their usual large con.
tributions towards the success of G. o.

visable to be more liberal than usual,
for are not the packing houses all to be
inspected by a republican administra-

furnished their share of the Doodle to
keep the party of great moral ideas in
power. Does this explain the indiffer-
ence of the President and the Opposi-
ton of Speaker Cannon and the other
republican leaders to the Tillman bill?
The republican national and con-

BOSS MACHINE AND RING
The Nominating Convention is the Strong
Hold of Politician Ward Boss.

Toledo, Ohio, Bee: The nominal
ing convention is the stronghold of
the boss, and primary election that
should be held under the secret ballot
law would at least arm conmuni y
against its bosses.
Reading, Pa, Telegram 1t will be
observed that these provisions make
nothing of the proprietary rights OF
those who kindly affect to relieve the
people of all responsibilities and who
claim mortage on all offices and pub
lie contracts.
Baltimore American: The caucus or
convention as a nominating medium
offers exceptional opportunities for
boss rule. Too often in the past they
have facilitated the nomination of I'M
fit men for public Office. The eradica-
tion of these defects is the most salu-
tary result of the primary system
Philadelphia, North American:
Pennsylvania can divide with Wiscon-
sin the credit of showing the country
how to abolish the political boss if the
republicans of Harrisburg keep their
promise to the people. The Wisconsin
bill is virtually counterpart of the
primary election bill introduced in the
Pennsylvania Legislature by Senator
Finn.
Chicago, Times. Herald: The vilest
which this country has to contend to-
day is the nominating monopoly of the
partisan machine. 1t has given US the
most corrupt municipal governments in
the world, and its faint is upon our
politics whichever way we turn, affect
ting as it does the largest of federal
ward or village.
New Haven, Conn Leader: In
doubtedly the system of direct nomina-
lions would interfere with limited
political arrangements to fatal extent
but that is precisely the reason why
the people are in favor of it and why it
ought to be adopted The people
want to have something to say about
the nomination as we'll as about the
election of cand ldates, and we believe
the more they have to say about both
the better is their chance for securing
faithful and efficient public servants.

Seattle, WASH, Times: The Pri-

great advance over the caucus system.
Doylestown, Pa, lntelligencer-
Publicly conducted primaries are just
as much an expedient policy as pub
licly conducted elections.
Providence, II. l., News: Fair
minded men will agree that there
should be just as many safeguards
about the primary meetings as about
the polls on election day.
PittstOn, Pa, Gazette: While no
primary plan can overcome faults OF
human nature, this plan, throwing
around the primaries all the safeguard
of a general election, is generally re-
garded as the best yet devised.
Lewiston, Me-, Journal; The aboll'
ton of the caucus and its supercedure

What reason is there why the primary
election to select candidates, which Ii
of almost equal Importance to the Anal
ballot, should not be equally safeguard
