Arizona Conner Production.

Had it not been for the fuel trou
bles and the scarcity of labor in the
Bisbee camp, the copper production
there would have been increased at
least 5000, 900 pounds, while floods re-
stricted the production in the Clifton
camp by about 3,O0O,0 600 pounds.
1t. is these ''ifs, throughout the
country that has made the produc-
ton so of short of trade re-
quirements and has resulted in 25
cent copper.
The productive capacity of the
Arizona copper companies will be
materially enlarged the coming year
and there is good PROJECTS of an in
crease the coming year as great as
last. The Copper Queen company is
naces. It's No. 10 is just being COM
pleted, while it is planned to install
another furnace with a capacity
equal to three of the present fur
naces, work upon which will be I'M
dertaken in the spring.
The Calumet & Arizona manage
ment also plans, for a material en-
largement which calls for the ex-
penditure of 100000, largely to pro-
vide smelling capacity for the Su-
perior & Pittsburg ores.
An increased product from the
Bisbee camp the coming year of 90
100000 pounds is not Improbable.
At Globe, the Old Dominion COM
pany will have this year a fifth blast
furnace and a reverberatory furnace
which should increase it's production
at least 100000 pounds per month
and the Arizona Commercial com.
pany expects to ship to various Ari-
iona smelters sufficient ore to return
100000 pounds of copper, which is
all new production.
In the Clifton camp, Arizona Cop.
per company has built new concen
traitor and the magnificent estimates
an output of 1900 tons, or $4,000, OO(
pounds, in 1907, while the Shannon
Copper company is adding a third
furnace and increased concentration
capacity to enable it to output 20,
600, 900 pounds of copper in 1907. The
United Verde cannot do much in the
line of increased production although
the management is expanding vas
sums of money in building tunnels t.
open its mine at greater depth will
a view to increased production.
An estimated miscellaneous cope,
production of 100000 pounds is un
der rather than over, for there ar,
numerous small smelters Throughout
the territory of $50 tons capacit,
each.
1t is noteworthy that during TIL
past year, Notwithstanding thu
stimulus of high-priced copper, NJ
new properties of any particula
prominence have been opened il
Arizona, except it be the Blacl
Hawk mine of the Arizona CONNER
cial company. A number of new
companies have been organized fol
operations in the Globe district bu
they will not be producers this year
The only prospective new cope
production in 1907 other than through
the expansion of the old compan1e
will come from the Denn-Arizona anC
the Shattuck-Arizona companies

just now we seem to be going to ex-

just now we seem to be going to ex-
tremes in railroad legislation.
Congress and many of the state legis-
lators, particularly the legislatures Of
the northwestern states, and the state
authorities are making general on
slaughts along railroad lines. Rate leg
islation as to both passengers and
freight, legal actions in restraint and
regulation, the most ,caustic criticisms
of the public press, are some of the re-
suits of this popular feeling.
The wrong part of this popular senh-
ment is that it results often in feeling
and acts of retaliation. The people
awake to the fact that the railway
corporations have been taking advan-
tage of their apathy,;and then seek to
punish the railroads. This is human
but is not right. First, because such
punishment is almost akin to lynch
law, in that the railroad corporations
have no opportunity to defend them
selves. If they have done wrong then
the case should be taken to the courts.
Second, because to cripple the railroads
is against the interests of the people.
just now we know that in North Dako-
ia and adjoining states the roads are de-
moralized-for some reason. The rail
road managers declare it is for the want
of sufficient equipment, want of termi-
nal facilities, of double tracking and
many more things that cost money.
Western North Dakota in particular
and all the northwest in general needs
additional railways, and will until the
time comes when no farmer will have
more than ten miles as the maximum
distance to haul to market. Now, is it a
good policy, just to punish the railroads
for past deeds to so cripple them as to
make it impossible to provide for these
future needs that are so apparent and
necessary to all3
We are not attempting to argue so
much for the RAILROADS.&C. rule they
are amply able to care for themselves
but for our own interests. For instance
there is now before the legislature of
this state an arbitrary statute reducing
the passenger fare to two cents mile.
We do not know enough personally
about railroad statistics and affairs to
be able to give an opinion as to whether
this is too little or tolgreat. It may be
possible that one cent a mile would be
sufficient, if so we should certainly favor
it, but on the other hand we should not
favor a two cent rate unless we were
satisfied that it gave the roads sufficient
remuneration.
In old times the punishment for steal
ing was to cut off the right hand, but
we have learned better now. Perhaps
some of the roads ought to have their
hands cut off but they would not be of
much use to the public afterwards.
It is the province of the court to pun
ish for the past, but the legislature
should simply aim to regulate On a con-
servative basis for the future.

shows that only one candidate is looking
for the Office in this. county, as other
wise it would probably 60 elsewhere, as
the competition is strong for this job
and we hope that Mr.. Wilson will get it
-as from partizan point of view he
richly deserves it, and personally he is
well worthy.

INVESTIGATE THE
6 BINDER TRUST

Washington d. C. Jan. 3Oth.-Sena-
tor Hahsbrough's resolution directing
the Department of Commerce and La
Dor to make an investigation of the In
ternational Harvester Co. has brought
hundreds of letters of approval, and the
Senator is classifying this 'correspon-
dence so that it may be submitted to
the Department with view to aiding
in the Investigation. He has received
letters from Kansas, Nebraska, MINES
,ota, Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania and
the two Dakotas.
The general tone of these letters is to
the effect that farm machinery general
ly is selling from 20 to 4Oper cent high
er than it was five years ago when the
Trust was organized; that local compe-
tition between dealers has practically
disappeared; that local agents every
where understand that theymust sell the
whole line of Trust goods or be replaced
by agents who will do so, and in many
instances recahitrant agents, who refuse
to sign contracts to sell at uniform
prices, are forced out of business; that
since the trust was organized they have
reduced their sales force and ,canvassers
20 per cent, and where there is any COM
petition left at all Trust ,canvassels
swarm the country and sell at any
prices until competition is frozen out;
that, the Minneapolis and Keystone bin
der companies were gobbled up by the
Trust one after the other; and prices in
creased in one season from SIS to S13O
for binders manufactured by these COM
panies; that all extras must now be
bought of the Trust; that purchasers
must pay cash now where once they
had no difficulty in buying ON credit un-
der the competitive system; that old
machinery can no longer be traded in
in part payment for new; that many of
the articles on the market are inferior;
that there has been but one improve
ment in hinders in ten years and now
an extra charge is made ON that account;
that wagons:and plows have advanced
in price and .aro not SO durable; that
purchasers are forced to buy Trust
! Irvine, even heing refused extras for
their machines if they failed to do SO.
This is the substance. of the letters
the Senator has received, and they all
tell the same story without variation.
Perhaps the most important letter re-
ceiyed by the Senator is one from "A. G..
Wilkinson, editor of the Eastern Dealer,

Statistics of Maine Live Stock.

While the statistics which have been Sc
cured by the Board of State Assessors rela-
tive to the amount of live stock in the State
are not yet ready for publication indications
point to slight decrease in numbers COM
pared with those for the year 1906 The
total valuation of the live stock In that year
was $14,445,024 The returns received by
the assessors indicate assmall increase in
the number of horses in the State over that
of last year, while on the other hand there
is decrease in the number of colts. There
is also a small decrease in the number of
cows, oxen and young cattle. The figures
which have been received relative to
the sheep industry are very encouraging
and show an increase for the first time in
years. The number Of sheep in the State
this year will show a gain Of about 5000
over that of year ago, indicating that the
Maine farmers are making move in the
right direction, and it is the hope Of the
assessors that when the returns for the
year 1908 shall have been made UP the gain
in the number Of sheep will be even larger
than that Of the current year. The num-
Der Of swine in the State this year will also
show gain over the preceding year.
