Railroad Rates Reduced.

Articles recently have appeared in many Kansas and Oklahoma news papers to the effect that Oklahoma railroads did not intend to reduce interstate passenger rates to, from or through Oklahoma, made possible by the new two-cent-a-mile rate in Oklahoma. One prominent paper published on November 26th, the fol- lowing editorial. "Althougk Mis- souri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska and most of the other states have the two-cent fare in force, a ticket from one state into another state is still charged for at three cents mile, under the technical guise of interstate commerce. Yet the rail- roads profess to be shocked and grieyeo that the travellng public should feel any resentment" It re- quires special permission from the Interstate Commerce Commission to change interstate passenger or freight rates on less than thirty days notice to the public and the commission. All of the principal Oklahoma lines have applied to the commission for this permission; if granted, interstate rates to and from Oklahoma will be changed in the next week or ten days. It takes time, much thought and the consideration of numerous features to reconstruct local tariffs and district rate sheets for the entire western country, a the reduction in Oklahoma. They can not reduce tricket rates between Kansas and Oklahoma without reduc- ing rates to and from Missouri, and, in turn, Illinois, Iowa, etc. Each state added to the list involves addi- tional labor and complications. All interstate rates will be adjusted, in turn, as soon as it is physically possi- ble to do so. Mortal man can do no more. The first obligation was to re- duce rates locally in Oklahoma. In terstate rates between Missouri and Iowa were adjusted on a two-cent basis July 18th. Interstate rates be- tween Kansas and Missouri, based on two-cent rate in Missouri, were ad- justed July 18th east-bound and July 18th west-bound. Interstate rates between Kansas and Missouri, based on two cent rate in Kansas, were ad- justed east and west-bound November 12th. The article would lead one to believe that interstate rates between Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and most of the other states included in the two-cent zone had not yet been reduced. The facts are that a ma jority of these rates have been re- duced for more than four months. Fair-minded people may be "shocked and grieyed" to learn of such inten- tionally misleading items as the one referred to.

Active preparations are being made by Fayette A. Jones. civil and mining engineer, and associates to open and work the extensive placer deposits of Gold Gulch, a tributary of Thomp- sons canyon. The existence of gold in paying quantities in Gold Gulch has been known for many years and the reason these values have not been utilized has been an insutfciency of water This deficiency will be obvi- ated in part by the installation of the most approved machinery known to the science'of placer mining which practically assures paying results from the start.-Independe

BIG CONSOLIDATION.
Copper Cuff Development Co. Will Acquire 1000 Acres of Choice Prop
 erty in BurrO Mountains.

eTly In QUITO hlOuntdlnS.
 What is by long odds one of the biggest mining deals that has been undertaken in the Burro mountain mining district is now being consum- mated, so it iS understood, whereby the Copper Gulf Development com pany will increase their holdings from eighteen claims to over sixty claims and will acquire an acreage of approximately LOGO in the very heart of the rich porphyry copper belt of the Burro mountain district. Officials of the company are retlcent about giving out any information with re- gard to the reported deal, but it is learned from an outside source that such a deal is in process of consum- nation and will be completed within a few days. The properties included in the deal are twenty-eight claims of the Alessandro Copper company, called the Gettysburg group, seven- teen claims in the Bentley group and six claims in the Leopold-Tyrone Copper company group. All the properties lie in a group and with the eighteen claims of the present Copper Gulf holdings will form near | ly LOGO acres in the cOpper-porphyry belt of the district. To the north lie the princely mining estate of the Chemung Copper company, to the west the enormously rich deposits of the Burro Mountain Copper company and the National Copper Mining con- pany and to the south the valuable group of claims owned by the Co., manche Mining and Smelling com pany. The Copper Gulf group is literally bounded by the mining es- tates of the four companies mention ed above and with the exception of a few isolated claims takes in all the remaining ground in the center of the porphyry mineral bearing dis trict.
 It is understood that as soon as the deal is completed extensive develop ment work will be begun at once by the Copper Gulf company. Machin- cry will be installed for going down to great depth as it is there that recent development work by the Che mung has demonstrated, lie the great bodies of low grade sulphide ore. It ] is understood that the company has upwards of S275,O0O in the treasury to develop the property and that it will be done thoroughly, no one doubts who knows the directorate of the company which includes such men as H. B. Hoveland and Hovel Smith, prominent in the Bisbee and Globe fields. E. A. Wayne, the present superintendent of the company, will have charge of the future work which has already been mapped out. MT. Wayne was superintendent of the Globe Consolidated Mining company at Globe, previous to coming here and is mining engineer of promi- hence and ability. Under his direc- ! tion one hundred thousand tons of ore have been blocked out on the 2OO-foot level of the Virginia mine which is one of the original eighteen claims the Copper Gulf started in with. This ore is sulphide averaging from two to four per cent. copper and the indications are that the body O1 which it is part is one of immense size and tonnage.-Indepen

Good Cough Medicine for Children.

The season for coughs and colds is now at hand and too much care can not be used to protect the children. A child is much more likely to con tract diptheria or scarlet fever when he has a cold. The quicker you cure his cold the less the risk. Chamber

was greately missed by friends and
neighbors. Sweet little Una May s
body is resting in the Church yard
here and her pure gentle spirit hast
returned to our Heavenly Father but
the memory of her bright eyes and
the fragrance of her young life abides

Heaven has become more real and
attractive since she went away and
her dear father, mother, sisters and
little brothers are looking up through
their tears preparing to be with her

refrain from asking why her and not
some one else, but when we pluck
roses we choose the purest sweetest
