Calumet & Arizona on a Solid Basis

Iron Ore has this to say concerning
 the recent dividend of the Calumet
 SC Arizona Mining company:
 The meeting of directors of the Calumet &5 Arizora Mining company did not bring out the dividend per
 formance which many expected would
 be witnessed. The next quarterly dividend was declared at Sl.5O. This is not stated as regular, but is one declared for present very unsatisfac- tory conditions in the copper metal market. The directors are the best judges of the proper course to pursue. It is probable that d large stock of metal is being carried. It is also true that currency is still hard to get. It is safe to say that the com pany is using its surplus to the best advantage.
 At the mine the property never looked better. The work of mining is still going on and ore bodies of large size and great richness are waiting for the time when the mar ket will warrant work being pushed vigorously.
 Calumet & Arizona can make its pound of copper cheaper than any other miner of the metal anywhere. Its ore reserves are large, and it's future is solid. Those who own the shares need not feel any alarm be- cause of the cutting of the dividend. The company was able to pay more, but it is using its surplus in good way and all in the interest of the We would not sacri- flee the stock because of the cut. We would much rather buy it at these prices.
 Just as soon as conditions improve the dividend will be increased. The mine has the ore of high grade, and is in splendid shape financially as we'll as physically. The present rate Is only temporary, awaiting the gen. eral improvement in the copper trade.

Unslaked or free lime is the great est enemy of good Portland cement, as its presence will cause the mortar to disintegrate gradually. To deter mine the presence or absence of harmful constituents a very simple test may be applied. Two pats of cement (without sand) should be mix ed to the consistency of putty and placed on glass. Make them about three inches across and half an inch thick at the center and tapering to a thin edge. Cover with a damp cloth for one day, then put one pat in water and let the other stay in air preferably moist air. If the pat in air shows large yellow blotches after a time, or if the pat in water begins to show cracks, starting at the edge and running toward the center Show ing disintegration), the cement is not up to the standard.

Arizona Gets Two Delegates.

Republicans in Tucson received a jolt last week when notices were re- ceived sta ting that Arizona was to be allowed but two delegates to the next national convention of the republi- can party which will be held next summer in Chicago.
 The official call states: "Said national convention shall consist of four delegates at large from each state: two delegates tor each repre- sentative at large Tn congress; two delegates from each congressional district and two from the territories of Arizona, New Mexico, Hawaii; two delegates from the District of Columbia and two each from Alaska, Porto Rico and the Philippine Is- lands"
 The call further provides that the delegates from Arizona shall be elected by popular vote of the con- vention, of which at least thirty days notice shall have been published in some newspapers or papers of gen. eral circulation.
 The only ray of hope is a telegram received from Solomon Luna, head ot the New Mexico republicans, who be- lieYes that six delegates will be al- lowed in the end. His telegram is as follows: "The call is as in former years. Territories two delegates. But it is expected that New Mexico and Arizona send six delegates each, who will be seated"

OUTLOOK NOT PROMISING.
Indications That Congress Will Not Give
 Assessment Immunity.

Although energetic measures will
 be taken to bring about the enact
 ment of law during the present ses sion of congress suspending the regu latiOn requiring the assessment worb ! to be done on mining claims for this , year and next, it is probable, judging from the tone of letters received from prominent congressman, that nothing can be done.
 The Bisbee Board of Trade which met in the city hall couple of weeks ago passed resolutions directing the president, George E. Buxton, to place before the president and congress the facts in the case and make plain that the enforcement of the law this year will work a great hardship on many prospectOrs. It was asked that the law be suspended for this year as we'll as for 1908.
 President Roosevelt's secretary Loeb, acknowledged the receipt of the communication, saying the mat ter would be brought to the chief executives attention. Copies had also been sent to number of others, including Vice-President Fairbanks and Senator Frank NJ. Flint, of Cali fornia.
 Throughout the long statehood fight Flint stood by Arizona, and in the present matter will undoubtedly use his best endeavors to have bill enacted, but judging from the tone of his letter he has litt'e hope of making it effective for this year.
 The replies of Fairbanks aId Flint are as follows:
 'I acknowledge receipt of your favor of November 30, enclosing the memorial from the Bisbee Board of Trade in reference to the suspension of the law requiring assessment work on mining claims for the years 1907 and 1908. In reply, I desire to state that it seems to be almost impossible to have any legislation enacted in time to be of any assistance so far as the assessment work for the year of 1907 is concerned, but [ will be glad to do anything I can to assist in this matterp

The operatio of the smelters in Douglas are continuing much the same as during the last two months, or since the policy of curtailment of production was inaugurated. The Calumet SC Arizona is now running the maximum number of furnaces; this plant consists of five furnaces, but only four have ever been operated at one time. For nearly two months only three were in operation. At the Copper Queen shelter six fur naces continue in commissson and the product last month was something more than one million pounds to each furnace, making the total about one third of the average product for the first six months of this year. Con- both the smelting plants and there yet remains great deal to be done to complete the enlargement plans agreed upon during the early part of 1907. At the Queen there is no dis position to hurry any of this work, still few men are kept employed on it; at the c. & A. construction work shows more activity. It is estimated that the number of men who received pay checks this month from the two smelters was something over 1000, which is sufficient to show that Doug las has not been so badly hurt by the recent disturbance in the price of copper. While nothing definite is known about the future there is a good feeling of confidence in the Shelter City and it is expected that with the beginning of the new year will come au increase in the copper product at the local smelters.- American.

Officers are Censured by Federal Jury

When the federal jurors made theil
 thanked by the court for their ardu
 ous work and their strict perform
 ance of their duty. The final report does not contain any reference to the land cases, being only statement o1 , immoral conditions existing in Globe
 and an arraignment of the city
 authorities. The following is the
 final report:
 "The grand jury of the district for
 the November term, 1907, of the
 court respectfully calls attention to
 the fact that at our present session
 we had occasion to make a partial investigation of alleged violations of what is known as the Edmunds-Tuck- CT act and from investigation we are convinced that the morals of a cer- f tain element of the city of Globe, living in the northern portion of said city and especially about the neigh borhood commonly known as the 'redlight district ot the city, are NCA PlOA dOlC diQ Iudl SuCu OOAOI- tion in a measure is attributable to the course that the city authorities of Globe have pursued toward licensing and permitting women to openly practice lewdness in that vicinity. And witch tends to congre- gate about said locality the idle, vicious and criminal element, there by bringing about indecency and crime which would not otherwise pre- vail in the city of Globe as it now does.
 i've would also say that in our limited examination of the conditions above mentioned, we have found that the officers of the city of Globe-at least those who have been supoenaed before us to give information relative to such lewd practices-are quite in- different and apparently unable to furnish us with the information which would warrant us Tn proceeding to bring the vioIators of said Edmunds- tions, though it would appear that said officers whose duty it Is to ferret out crime and guard the welfare and good name of their city, if they would perform their duty we'll ought to have furnished the information which we requested and desired from them for the purpose of suppressing such practices and violations of the law, by presenting indictments against them, to the end that they | should be brought to trial before this | court.
 eve would also respectfully re- quest your honor to bring the matter herein before set forth to the proper l city and county authorities, that the i bad condition now existing in Globe may be in some way abated or inn proved"

Largest Deal in Paradise District.

The annual work on the Sullivan i: being continued by Superintendent J. G. Sweeney, although sufficient work for thirty claims-about 3OC feet-has already been done on the fourteen claims of the group during the present year. The work is being accomplished on the different claim. of the group.
 No work is being done this year in the main shaft, owing to the removal some time ago of the whim formerly in use at that working.
 From this years operations no re. suits worthy of note have so far been attained though some good ore is ex- pected to be struck soon Un the claim known as the "S6." Here a tunnel, driven to crosscut the lead, is in about sixty feet, having been driven fifty feet this year. The face of the tunnel is looking good.
 The property was purchased-by the h-Chiricahua Development company, of Duluth, Minn. The price paid-s4O, ,OOO-is the largest cash or no-stock transaction ever consummated in the district.
 The most extensive workings are two vertical shafts, one ninety feet in depth and the other seventy. It had been intended to sink the latter shaft to a depth of POO feet before drifting. But water was encountered at that depth in sufficient quantities to prevent further sinking with the machinery on the ground. So drift was run just above the water line, and in this drift ore was struck. This shaft is we'll timbered.
 The Sullivan has a great deal of rich ore, some of which runs 40 per cent. in copper.
 It is asserted on good authority that the Duluth -Chiricahua company has considerable money in the treas urV

Movement to Make Tucson Dry Town. 7

. A petition is being circulated in Tucson for a local option election to
 be held in Tucson to decide whether the old Pueblo wishes to continue as it is or whether it desires to be a "dry town" Before tEe petition will be effective it will have to have 300 signatures and then it will be pre- scented to the board of supervisors asking that a special election be held to allow the citizens to vote on the liquor question. With the 300 signatures secured to the petition there will be no alternative for the supervisors other than to arrange for the special election as provision is made for this in the territorial statutes. It was learned that people proposition are planning to wage a big fight against the saloons. Plans are already under way for an educa- tional campaign to be waged preced- ing the special election and temper auce speakers of national reputation will be brought there. Most promi- nent among the speakers will be Dr. Henry, a noted prohibition orator, is now holding a series of temper ance meetings in Phoenix.
