PROPOSED BY NEW BILL NOW
NEARLY COMPLETED.
NAMES RATE COMMISSION
President Railroad Experts Proposed
as Judges of All Public Service
porations-Committe on Trans
portation Working on Important
Measure.
Madison, May l.

A rough draft of the public service
corporation control bill has been com
.pleted by the assembly committee on
transportation and when it has re-
ceiyed the finishing touch of a few
master hands within the committees
Chairman e. w. Leroy will introduce
it with the recommendation that it be
passed.
While there has been some gossip
to the effect that the legislature might
take an adjournment or recess until
late in the fall and lay over until that
time all bills pertaining to the regu-
latiOn of public service corporations,
no steps in this direction have been
taken by the leaders, and it is now
believed that the progress made by
the committee on transportation with
this bill means that efforts will be
made to pass the bill at this time and
that there will be no consideration
given to the proposition that all such
bills be laid over until fall
While this measure is still subject
to changes, the draft of it which has
been handed to each member of the
committee contains many provisions
which are reasonably sure to be re.
tanned.
The bill provides for the control
by the state of all public utilities, ex-
cept street car lines and telegraph
companies. 1t includes telephone, wa
ter works, heat, light and power
companies. 1t does not include tele-
graph companies or street car lines
because it is the purpose of the com
mittee to introduce another bill plac-
ing street railways and telegraph lines
under the rate commission with the
same provisions applying to these util-
titles as now are applied to the rail
roads.

same provisions applying to these util-
tiles as now are applied to the rail
roads.
Differs From Rate Law.
The important differences between
the regulation which will be exercised
and power companies from that now
over the railroad companies are:
municipalities are given control
over extensions of service and the
kind of utility to be used.
All franchises are indeterminate,
subject to the right of the municipal
ity to purchase the plant
AS is now the case with the rail
roads, the commission is given COLI
troi of all public service utilities
named in the bill as to valuations Of
the proerpty, the rates to be charged,
land a uniform system of accounting.
The section giving the municipalities
control over the extensions of serV-
ice and the right to name the kind
Of utility makes it possible for a city
to compel extensions of service,
whether it be a water company tela-
phone company or lighting COMPANY.
The right to name the kind of utility
makes it possible for the municipality
to say whether the electric current
shall be direct or alternating, and to
! say whether the gas furnished shall
be fuel or Illuminating and as to what
efficiency each shall have, or in the
case of telephones to say whether the
line shall be metallic circuit or ground

tiles and to furnish them at reason

To Ascertain Value.

The power to say what is an unrea-
sonable charge is left to the commits
sion. The bill prescribes that at the
beginning Of this determination Of
rates, the railroad commission shall
Investigate and ascertain the reason
able value of the property of every
public service and telephone company
actually used for the convenience of
the public. The commission is cit
powered to employ such engineers, av-
countants, experts and other assist
ants as it may deem necessary
All increases of capital stock AMI
ali evidences of Indebtedness to be is
sued shall be subject to the approval
'of the commission.
The commission is to fix the stand
ard units Of the product or service and
may provide for the classification Of
service for each kind Of public utility
The commission is also to fix stand
ards of quality or pressure or other
conditions pertaining to the product
Tor service rendered.

Amalgamated could be pushed for

Glance is included in the Bingham
Amalgamated corporation. The par
ticular property which is attracting
attention in the Bingham Amalgam-

The vein in the Illinois is nine feet
in diameter, two feet of which runs
20 per cent copper, with an average
value of 5.07 per cent. This is far
above the average in the Bingham

The Yampa mine has over $50 men
on its pay roll and will increase its
force by about 80 men just as soon

l2S,OOO,OOO Pounds
Have Been Knocked
Off During the Year.
SURPLUS GOES DOWN
Decrease Must Result With Advance
in Price Certain...Utah the Only
State Which Shows Output Gain

The Boston News Bureau, which
keeps close track of the copper out
put and as rule presents figures
with reference thereto which are
found to be as near accurate as it is
possible to get gives the following
interesting resume of the present
years operations:
Eleven months of the present cal
endar year have now passed and the
production OF copper on the American
continent has shown decrease of
12S, 100000 pounds. OF this de-
crease, 101, $4,000 pounds repre-
sents the falling off in the Butte
camp.
During the past month the only
district to show an increase was Utah
and the output of copper from that
state for November was the largest
in it's history, nearly 10,000,0g
pounds, some estimates placing the
figure even higher. This is al in
crease of nearly 100 per cent over
the production of November, 1906.
The lake maintained its production,
the November figures only falling off
$4,000 pounds. The loss in Arizona
amounted to nearly 100000 pounds
and Mexican production likewise fell
off about 100000 pounds.
The restriction in production has
been primarily by the Amalgamated
and Cole-Ryan interests. Phelps,
Dodge e Co. have cut off between
100000 and 100000 pounds per
month and Senator Clark has re-
stricted about as much. Custom
smelling for the Sma.. mines through
out the country las largely ceased,
as there is no profit, with the present
price of the metal for the small
mines.
1t is evident that the production OF
copper in the United States for the
~ months of 1907 will record de-
crease of about 100, 100000 pounds.
or IL per cent, whereas ordinarily an
increase of per cent. at a minimum,
should be looked for. 1t is therefore
evident that the consumers have 22O,-
100000 pounds less copper tC rely
upon than would have been tn" case
under normal business conditions.
This is about the amount of the cop
per accumulation resulting in the
drop in the price of the metal from
25 to IL cents per pound.
A restriction of ~ per cent in the
production of copper should in time
be an important factor in an advanc-
ing market.

FUNSTON AND GOLDFIELD.

Major General Frederick Funston
had been in Goldfield less than AS
hours when he publicly declared that
conditions in this community are a
great deal worse than he imagined
prior to his departure from San
Francisco. This is the statement of
a soldier whose sole duty was to as
certain the exact truth; who had no
political ak to grind, and whose per-
sonal ambition could not possibly be
affected by telling the absolute truth.
After weary hours of investigation,
during which business men, laborers,
mine owners and citizens in every
walk of life were questioned, General
Funston publishes his findings, and
undoubtedly Washington knew his
views and authorized the announce
ment. This is particularly gratlfy-
ing to the people of Goldheld. IL
means that citizens-milliona1 and
miner alike-will have the protection
insured by the presence OF FEDERAL
forces. The agitators and dynamlters
are warned by this declaration that
they must respect the law. IL there
is intimidation, the instances will be
decidedly isolated. The right to
work will be denied to no man. me
right of free speech will be respected.
General Funston's official statement
demonstrates to the world that Gov
ernor Sparks was justified in request
ing the president to send troops. 1T
was n wise move, notwithstandlcg
that there was no riot and rebellion.
How long the troops will remain rests
entirely with Governor Sparks. Ana
he assures the people that no act
of his will result in their withdrawal.
-Goldfield Chronicle.
II should hate to be the man re-
sponsible for the withdrawal OF all
the troops at this time. me lore
going remark was made by General
Funston, commander, of the depart
ment of the Pacific, in conversation
with the newspaper men ana ne was
aware that his views were to be given
the widest publicity. The more Cen
eral Funston investigated the more
reason he found for maintaining
troops in Goldfield. He learned there
was danger of disorder, even riot, for
Sheriff ingalls, reluctantly admitted
that if the soldiers were sent away
he would be unable to cope with the
situation. He learned that workmen
members of the crafts affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor
are in constant dread of their lives
because the Western Federation Oh

threatened them.
What General Funston has learned
was not unknown to the average
Goldfeld citizen, but the man of the

ments made to the president by Gov
ernor Sparks when he reques.eu

for the fear of the long arm of the
war department.
The labor commissioners who are
here will pursue the same line of in
vestigation which resulted in Gen
eral Funstons cnoclusion that there
is necessity for troops in Goldfield
not because there is riot and re-
volt here now, but because there is
every reason to believe that there
would be but for the restraining in
huence exerted by the soldiery.-
