O|sPOsEs. 0F SHELTER
 STOCK Says Smelter Trust Did Not Secure
 Its Control
His Resignation Will Take Effect On
 Februaryl
(From Tuesdays Dailq.)

(. F.. Finncy, vice president md general manager of the Arizona Smcli- ing company, has disposed of his hold. ings in the shelter concern, and tender. cred his resignation, to take effect on February l.
 Mir. Finney returned yesterday from New York. When asked, last evening, ny n JournalMiner representative, if the Shelter Trust representatives had secured any of his stock, he said;
 "You can autnoritatively state from me that the agents of tho trust did not secure the stock or it's control. had an opportunity of disposing of my interests at n good figure, and sold out. ! do not know who my successor will be in the management of the con- ccrn.
 Asked as to his plans for the future, Mir. Finney said CT am not going to leave the Territory for n year or two yet. This is country of wonderful mineral possibilities and I, while do not care to discuss my future plans, am free to admit that have no intcu- ton of leaving Arizona"
 Mir. Finney's advent into the Terri tory in July. 1905, when the construc- ton of the smclting plant at Humboldt was commenced marked a new era in the development of the resources of not | only Yavapai county, but Northern | Arizona, ns well. When he arrived the | output of tho mines of Yavapni county, | leaving the United Verde Copper com pany's mines. at Jerome, ont of con | sideration, amounted to only about twenty tons or ore and concentrates q day, and now, after n period of only eighteen menths has elapsed, and nine months after the great plant was blown in, there is being delivered every twenty.four hours, at Humboldt shipments amounting to from 100 to BOG tons. With it's present capacity the an nual production is now estimated a' | 3,50O, ,000, and in the next eighteen months, with its capacity being in creased as fast as furnaces and ma chinery can be delivered and installed the annual output will amount to over 7O,OOO,O0O.

Smeltcrs and mines behind him, he found, when he came to this county, only the United Verde, Congress, Glad stone, Yacgcr Canyon, Tiger and Pol. and mines the only producers, but his good business judgment and knowledge of mining and smelling, in the every detail of both, convinced him that this was still virgin field and only await. ing n home market for the ores that lay hidden untouched in the crcviccs of the mountains. That he was right is proven by the fact that today there are more than 200 mining properties in different stages of development, in ops cration, shipping ore 10 the plant which his master mind conceived, planned and conducted to its present state, giving employment to hundreds of men and causing city of no mean prctcnsions to arise on the desert mesa along the Bradshaw Mountain railroad, covered with malapai bouldcrs when hc arrived there. and inhabited only by lizards, ccniipcdcs and other insects and reptile indigenous to the locality.
 Mir. Finncy's home is in New York Previous to becoming identified with Arizona 's interests, he served for ten years as general manager of the Kan sas City Smelling and Refining com. pany, having plants in Kansas City, Fl Paso, Mexico and Leadvillc. He was general manager for NJ. Guggenheim Sons two years, and was member of the General Managers committee of the American Smelling and Refining company one year. Dcvoting his time to the management of the concern since coming to the Territory, he still found time to interest himself in the affairs of the community, where his indomnit. able energy and capacity for leadership was at once recognized.
 While the news of his resignation of the management of the Arizano Smolt- ing company will he deeply regretted by the business and mining community, all will he pleased to learn from him that inc Shelter Trust has not secured control of the concern and that Ari- zona will he the field of his future op. oraiions,

RENDERING GOOD SERVICE.

Notwithstanding the fact that the Interstate Commerce Commission has been subjected to a good deal of very harsh criticism by the railway people of the country that body seems to be dscharging it's duty in very faith. ful and competent manner. while aim 'lc annoyance to the roads as possible. In the first place the Commission gave the roads month in which to file their tariffs. as required by the terms of the new law. and intimatcd that if n month should not prove sufficient they might have as much more time as they might really need.
 But the Commission lets it be dis. tinc,ly understood that it does not re- gard rate making as its sole or chief duty. There are other things which come before that in the matter of i'm portancc. Four things, in particular, were agreed upon as constituting the present program of tho Commission. IL must have full and uniform rate schcd- ulcs. for one thing. Schedules based on uniform and identical plan will pu, an end to the confusion that has always existed where every railroad has had it's own description of rates. The second change it insists upon is . uniform system of classification of ar. ticlcs carried. in place of the variety of classihcations now in use, under which one article would bc in one class on one road or in one section and in others on other roads. This will be a great relief to shippers. \ third change is uniform system of accounts. These three changes enforced by the Com mission will make the conccnlmcnt or confusion of charges difficult if not i'm possible where heretofore it has been casy. \ fourth change is said 10 obligc the railroad to deliver shipments to the consigncc. making one charge for the service and for any services ren' dered from the time of shipment to tho tune of delivery, thus cutting ont th independent icing, elevator or other charges preferred heretofore not by the carrier, but by side graft interests more or less closely tied up with the of licials running the railroad.
 This general program is expected to accomplish more in stopping railroad grafts and rebates and discriminaiions than actual rate hearings and orders in specific eases. II aims, in q word, at simplicity and uniformity all along the line And it is evidently a program which as whole should have been recognized as practical and business ! like and should have been put into op
 craiion voluntarily by the railroads themselves, without suggestion from ! the government or from shippers

THE BAD MANNERS or
 A COLONIAL GOVERNOR.

The ill hammered attitude of inc governor of Jamaica reflects on inc governors intelligence and social char. actcr. but inc idea that it could be- come matter of international import. nnco is most absurd Admiral Davis did precisely thc right thing in with. drawing his ships and men and turning back the supply boats, but no further notice whatever should bc taken onic. inlly of the tacllcss governors action. Moreover. ihc idea that n little colonial governor tn his strutting vanity could insul, thc United States or insult any respectable cmissary of our government IS too grotcsquc to bc taken seriously.
 Great Britain may rest secure in the knowledge that America understands her chagrin at ihc failure of the Brit. ish colonial governor to play his part with ordinary dcccncy, and that Amer ica bears no ill will toward England ar the people of Jamaica as n result of the governors insoloncc.
 The incident K to bc regretted, just as President Rooscvclt's tactlcss re- fusal of foreign offers of aid at the time of the san Francisco disaster was to be regretted. Iiut neither incident should be allowed to rufrlc the sleeping waters of the peaceful seas.

VALENTINES COMING In

Thursday, Feo. IA, will be ST.
Valentines day, at which time love-
lorn SWANS and maidens will exchange
anonymous greetings of affection, and
the man with a grudge will seek for
some vile caricature to send to his
most cherished enemy. Already
stationery stores have commenced to
receive their stocks and some interest
ing novelties are offered. Small boxes
containing novelty cards are popular.
The cards enclosed bear an inscription
and some appropriate emblem. For
example, one reads: MAY we kiss
when we please, and please when we
kiss. Attached to the card are
several molasseS CONNECTIONS of that
name.
Post cards are popular also. These
come in various forms, from those
embossed with large red hearts to the
comics of a reasonably decent sort.
The old fashioned scurillOuS carica-
lures with their abusive dOggefel are
so rare as to be almost obsolete.
The lace paper valentines have given
way to creations of silk and heavy
paper stamped in imitation of hand
painting. These sell from a small
price to as high as SO. They are
largely heart shaped, although
anchors, stars and floral forms are
used TO great extent. These really
beautiful effects are usually fastened
at the top with ribbons and are suit
able for hanging as wall ornaments.
Accompanying the valentines is the
usual variety of masks. The stores
all over the city are displaying all
kinds of hideous face covering, and
the young lads and lasses are raiding
the counters with the usual enthu
siaSm.

this city several months ago for New
Mexico, in the hopes of recovering
his health. Colon suffered for some
time from consumption, and while re-
lief was afforded by the change in
climate for a short time, he gradually
grew worse until death occurred last
week. Colon was the son of John
Parrish, twenty-one years old at the
time of his demise. and was highly
esteemed in this CITY where he was
born and educated.
