DOES NOT SATISFY.
Reduction OF Freight Rates Amounts
To Little, Say Tintic Operators.

The new freight rate on ore shipped
from the Tintic mining district TO the
Salt Lake smeiters have become ef-
fectiye, but the schedule Is not sat-
isfactory to members OF the Tintio
ore Producers association, who have
concluded to continue the fight against
what is considered to be unjust dis
elimination.
When the railroad companies were
asked to make reduction In the rates
from Tintic points, operators endeav-
ored to point out wherein the reduction
asked for would work TO their advan-
tage OF the railroads for the reason that
there were hundreds OF thousands OF
tons of ore In the mines of the Tlntic
district which could be moved under the
present condition of the metal market
at a small margin of profit and that the
revenues OF tho transportation COM
panies would be greatly increased there
by.
After several meetings which were
attended by representatives OF the Rio
Grande Western and San Pedro, Los
Angeles & Salt Lake lines, the an
nouncement was made few days ago
that a reduction Of 20 cents ton had
been made. but that the basis OF
charges would be the gross value OF
the ore shipped and not the net value.
which was asked for.
The producers believe they have n
splendid case against the San Pedro
company In particular. for the reason
that Tintic Is the only district along
It's entire lines where net valuation is
not used as the basis. The Rio Grande,
on the other hand. has never based its
charges on anything other than gross
values.
The producers claim the new sched-
ule win relieve the situation very little
and that unless further concessions ara
made there will be no material increase
I'm the ore output OF the district.

The Greenville times. [volume] (Greenville, Miss.) 1868-1917, 1906-05-05

ent ENHANCEMENT in Congress will |
come two new States in the South
west, one composed of Indian Terri |
tory and Oklahoma and the other of |
Arizona and New Mexico. Those
who are leading the administration
fight for joint statehood say they are
confident that Arizona and New
Mexico will enter the Union as one
State, though the methods by which
it is to be accomplished are decidedly
stragetical. The plans of the House
leaders are to turn down in confer
ence the various compromise propo-
sitions that came from the Senate,
and ultimately agree to the joint
statehood bill as it left the House,
with an amendment offered by SEN
ator Foraker more than a year ago.
This amendment provided for a con-
stitutional convention of proposed
state formed of Arizona and New
Mexico, the forming of a constitu-
ton and holding Of State election
to vote on the acce. Nance of the con-
stitution. By carrying the PROPOSE
ton to accept the constitution, the
| majority of the voters in each terri
! tory would be for the combined State
and its admission to the Union would
| be practically decided. If this plan
!! can be successfully carried out, the
lower House will for once have out
witted the Senate and won by the
