Some Details of the BID Mercer.

The checker board upon which the
copper companies are being moved
seems to be growing more distinct
1t is admitted that a gigantic or.
ganization has been effected to take
over nearly all of the copper and
lead mines and the smelling industry.
The basis of the consolidation of the
big properties is said to be as follows
Amalgamated Copper at $50, Ana
conda at 800 per S25 share, United
Copper at 800, Bingham Copper at
S75 per $50 share, Utah Copper at
$50 per $40 share, American Smelling,
common, at 5000, the preferred at
$3.50, Federal Mining & Smelling at
5000, the preferred at Sl25, National
Lead, common, at 800, United Lead
at terms not known.
The general opinion is that Heinze
is to be eliminated from the copper
situation, Notwithstanding New York
reports that he will be in charge of
the copper department of the merg-
er. The United Copper holdings at
Butte were turned over to the Corum
company. These interests are
friendly to Amalgamated, and it is
thought that the step is only pre-
liminaIy to turning the properties
into the $500, 100000 pool.

foregone conclusion after the first
game, in which the visitors fell IS:
pins short, but they put up a noble
fight to the end, making 1914 pins II
the second and 803 pins in the third
game.
1t is true that the. Era team needs
another victory to make things even
with the Leader boys, but it is also
true that the defeat last Saturday
night was large enough to greatly
Offset the two previous defeats-count-
ing the total number of pins made.
But let this be as it may, there is
going to be something doing the
next time these teams clash, which
will be on the Morenci alleys.
OF course the visitors met with a
sudden surprise in their overwhelm-
ing defeat, but they proved to be
royal sports and laughed away the
clouds as they enjoyed the light
lunch which was served at the close
of the match. Mr.. Fraser, of the
Leader team, one of the best bowlers
in Morenci, complimented the Era
boys on their steady work and pre-
dicted for them many more victories
in the near future. The following is
the score.

THIRTY MURDERS CHARGED.

Many Crimes.-Trial of Accused
Men Will be Expedited.

Regarding the all alleged confession
of Harry Orchard, Detective McFar-
and made the following statement;
"Harry Orchard the first man ar
rested for the murder of former Gov
ernor Steunenburg, may have or may
not have made a confession. [ will
not say whether or not he did make
such confession as is attributed to
him. Numerous efforts were made to
intimidate the man into saying things
against himself, but refused to allow
this.
..Thirty murders in all charge to
Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone. Ev-
cry one, whether it was in Colorado,
since labor troubles began at Tellu-
ride less then five year ago ,or
whether it followed in other States, in
this State was planned and executed
by fiends at the head of this organi-
zation.
The confession of Orchard contains
so many Sensational statements that
it was deemed best to Investigate
them as far as possible before order
ing the extradition of Meyer, Hay
wood and Pettebone, and it was only
after such investigation, in Colorado
authorities state, that it was decided
to honor the requisition of the Gov
ernor of Idaho.
The bomb that was intended to kill
Justice Luther NJ. Gabbert of the Su-
preme Court of Colorado, it is said,
was dug up lats week by Adjutant
General Bulkeley Wells and two de-
tectives, it being found at the some
spot, near the front gate to the
judges residence, where Orchard
said it was placed last May.

ERA TEAM WINS THE
BOWLING CONTEST.
MOrenci Leader Team Lost Its
LaureIS By 46S Pins.

Last Saturday night witnessed a
bowling contest between the cele-
brated Leader team and the Era
team, in which the latter put up one
of the fastest games ever played in
the southwest. 1t was d straight run
of more thrn 900 pins in the series of
three games, giving the Era boys a
total of 27S4 pins and a victory by a
handsome majority of 46S pins.
Late Saturday afternoon the
genial captain of the Leader team
Editor Dunseath- seemed to have
discovered that the Era boys had de-
clared themselves publicly, and made
an effort to call the game off, but
this would not be listened to by the
Era boys, who had creased their
muscles and arranged for refresh
ments. So the Leader captain made
rustic and succeeded in bringing
down a strong team, but the excel
lent work of the Era boys was too
much for them. The result was a

J. P. Mansfield was in from Stems
last week, and says that town is on a
boom. The railroad company has
200 men at work preparing to do
work. They have been doing some
blasting on the side of the mountain,
and are preparing a track to a crush
er, and from the crusher to the rail-
road. When that is completed and
the crusher set up work will really
commence. 1t will take the railroad
company a long time to crush that
mountain into ballast, and till that is
done Stems will be a scene of ac-
tivity. Professor Jones was at
Stems last week, and reports that
with the little work that has been
done some valuable float, carrying
both copper and lead has been dis
covered. He would not be surprised
if a valuable mine should be opened
up in what the company is preparing
for a rock quarry.-Liberal.

PROGRESSIVE MORMON COLONISTS.
Bishop Brown, of Morales, Tells of Fif-
teen Miles of New Canals.

Bishop o. P. Brown, of Morales
colony, Sonora, is in Douglas on busi-
ness for his people in the Babispe
valley.
"The development of the Babispe
and San Bernadino valleys by the
Mormon colonists is of much inter
est to Douglas" said Bishop Brown,
''as Douglas is the natural market of
the two valleys and we now buy our
supplies here.
"The colony at Morales has about
250. At Colonia Morales there are
facilities for 100 more people and we
are now opening up this new land
with two canals. One canal, about
five miles long, we have about half
done already, and will finish within
two months. 1t will irrigate 600
acres of new land which will be
mostly planted in fruit trees, with
some alfalfa.
"The other canal will be ten miles
long and will be finished by this COM
ing fall. 1t will irrigate 5000 or 1000
acres of the new land, which will be
devoted principally to grain. Peo-
pie are gradually drifting in and our
people are gradually buying up the
land of the Babispe and San Berna-
dino valleys. There is in the two
valleys land enough to support
population OF about 1900 or 10000
people. When we get all this ground
it will mean much for Douglas. The
valleys are only about fifty miles
from this market, which must con-
tinue to be our place of supply.
"The land of the two valleys is
very fine and rich, and there is ample
water in the Babispe without the use
of reservoirs. We will use reser-
voirs in the San Bernadino.-Int.

An American Closes Gambling up in
MOcteZuma.

Recently Mexican, gambler opened
a roulette wheel in Moctezuma and
displayed on his layout a S4OO bank
roll. An American named Smith, who
is in the mercantile business there
and who is we'll known in Douglas
as "Smithy" among the sporting fra
ternity, made plunge at the wheel
and took the Mexican in.
When the checks came to be set
tied for the dealer was $50 short, and
he declined to dig up the dinero,
whereupon "Smithy" soaked him in
the proboscis, and gambling ceased
to be from then on in MoCteZuma.
The dealer is now languishing in
Jail, and is likely to remain there un-
til he does as the laws demand that
the man behind the wheel must pay
his losses.

Unpatented Mines Not to be Taxec

The following Is from the Phoenix
Gazette:
"Much good feeling among miners
has resulted from the meeting of the
county assessors at Phoenix. 1t is
understood that the assessors will not
put unpatented mines on the tax roll.
This matter was discussed at length
and it was the conclusion that it
would be better in the end for both
the territory and the prospectors if
unpatented mines were not taxed.
AS soon as the mines reach any i'm
portance at all they are patented
and then come in for their just share
of taxation. Of course if any at
tempt is made to escape taxation by
not having mines patented the un-
patented property will be assessed.
The patented mines will be assessed
in Pinal county at $500 each. In
Yavapai county they are assessed at
$3.50, but this is due to the fact that
there are more paying mines in that
county"
The attention of County Assessor
Birdno Is called to this matter.
If unpatented mines are not as
sessed in other counties, why should
they be assessed in Graham county?
If patented non-producing mines
are assessed at from $500 to $3.50 in
other counties, why should they be
assessed at $1,000 in Graham county?

The President Has Not Backed Down.

A statement of President Roose-
velt's exact position toward judicial
review amendment, the present centre
of fighting in the railroad rate bill,
has been made. 1t comes from an
authoritative source and is as fol-
lows:
'The president is very indignant
at the suggestion that he has agreed
to an amendment that would nulify
the power of the commission by sus-
, pending rate fixed by the commits
sion, until the commissions decision
had been affirmed by appeal to the
courts.
"But this does not necessarily fol-
low if a judicial-review amendment
goes into the bill. 1t depends upon
what sort of an appeal amendment is
accepted.
SIT is true that the President has
modified his position somewhat. He
does not consider the review. ques-
tion of first Importance. In his opin-
ion, the railroads should have free
access to the courts, enjoyed by
every citizen. But he holds that
they will have the full right of ap-
peal, whether or not that right is
specifically declared in the new rate
law: Hence, he thinks there is no
need of such an amendment.
However, his close advisers, in
Guiding Secretary Root, and several
prominent senators, have advocated
granting the appeal in specific terms.
No one wants to prevent the rail-
roads from having an appeal.
Hence, the president made his much
heralded concession, which contem-
plates an amendment providing that
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion may issue an order declaring
contested freight rate unjust and un
reasonable, and fixing substitute,
the substitute to go into effect with
in thirty days, and the railroads to
have an appeal, to lie in the United
States courts
This is very close to the milk in
the cocoanut from the White House
end of the situation, and it foreshad-
ows the actual results at the capitol
end of Washington, unless there are
more mercurial changes on the part
of the chief executive.
Last week witnessed another busy
session of the Senate Committee. on
Interstate Commerce, during which
the committee was almost buried un-
der suggested amendments to the
bill.

VERDICT IN DECATUR CASE
COurt-MartiaI Decides Upon Its Find
ings i'm Less Than Two
Hours.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Jan. 3-The case of
M!dshlpman Stephen Decatur. jr., who for
three days has been on trial before a naval
court-martial, for the alleged hazing of
Midshipman Isaac n. Aiccrary and Cay
lord Church. was given 10 ths court shortly
before O'Clock this afternoon. At 4.45
the court had decided upon it's findings,
which will be Forwarded 10 the superin-
tenuent of the Naval 4 sSadeny FOR mis-
action. Under the law the record then
goes to the secretary of the navy, but
Secretary Bonaparte has announced that
he regarded HIS duties in the matter as
merely ministerial and that unless some
glaring error should have passed the su-
perintendent's notice he will approve the
action of Admiral Sands.
E. S. Theall, counsel for the defense, de-
voted his remarks to the phase of the
case presented by the fourth specification,
alleging the hazlng of Mdshipman Church.
General Advocate Harrison replied for the
prosecution.
An intimation has been received from an
official source that should Decatur be ac-
quilted of hazing by the court-martiaI he
would be re-arrested and charge of neg
lect of duty lodged against him. This
would be based on the testimony brought
out during the trial of the present case
and his admission that he was in the room
when Church was hazed by being COM
PEELED to perform "No. 16." The room was
Decatur's and he was the ranking officer
present.
Although McCrary and Church testified to
separate acts of hazing on the part OF
Decatur, there was no additional witness To
any act and Decatur has denied them all
emphatcally. 1t is generally admitted that
the strongest case has been made on the
fourth specification, which states that
Church was hazed by being compelled to do

HOGAN FORMALLY ARRAIeNED
Suspect Is Charged with the Murder
of Former Governor Frank
SteunenBcrg of Idaho.

BOISE. Idaho. Jan. 3.-Hogan. the sus-
pect under arrest az Caldwell in connection
with the assassina tion of former Governor
Frank Steunenberg, was arraigned before
the probate judge at Caldwell today,
charged with the murder Of Steunenberg
Hogan had formally demanded his release
and this action was necessary TO hold him
When Hogan was brought into court he
asked IL his arrest had been telegraphed
to the newspapers, saying; "If the Spokane
newspapers publish a report of my arrest
lawyer will come to defend me; other
wise l need two days to get one from that
city"
The hearing was set for Saturday.
Besides Hogan. five other suspects are
held in jail Two of these men are known
TO have been in consultation with Hogan
at Nampa. nine miles from Caldwell, the
day before Steuenenborg was assassinated.
They are known as Frank Campbell and
Warren. alias Herren. These men are
miners, who had been working in a rock
cut on the grade OF, the Idaho Northern
railroad and who left that work two
weeks ago. The three others decline to
give their names and. .refuse to talk. An
effort is being madt to identify them.
Officers who were at roeur D'Alene during
the disturbances there are on their way to
Caldwell to look at the prisoners.
The big reward of $4,000 offered for the
arrest of the assassins is causing some
friction between the local officers and the
private detectives who have come in TO
work on the case. A private detective has
taken possession of the effects OF Hogan.
Sheriff Nichols has resented this action on
the part of the private detectives. Among
the articles found in Hogans effects is a
new years card addressed to THE Presi-
dent of the Federation of Labor" Hogan
refuses to explain his possession of this
card.
The man calling himself Thomas Hogan
has admitted that he is Hairy Orchard
that he was In the Couer D'Alenes at the
time of the trouble there in 1899. living at
Burke and was member of the Burke
Miners union.
Among Hogans effects a leather postal
card was found addressed to Charles Meyer
president of the Western Federation of
Miners in Denver. II Is one of the kind
whose mailing is prohibited. and Hogan
discovering that it could not be trans
mitted, had evidently put it back in his
pocket. 1t bore a New Year greeting
