RAILROAD
Guggenheim's Settle On
Line to Their Proper
ties in North.
| N N ENSE DEPOSITS
OF Copper Will Be Put in Touch
With Splendid Harbor Terminal
of Road. Contract Awarded.

NJ. j Heney, who built the White
Pass & Yukon, has been awarded a
contract for building the Copper Riv-
er & Northwestern, the Guggenheim
road, to extend from Cordova to the
copper regions on the Copper river.
The selection of Cordova as the
western terminus of the Guggenheim
road settles a question as to the prac-
ticability and feasibility of the two
routes; Cordova, or, as it was first
named, Orca, and Catalla. M. K.
Rogers in his survey for the Copper
& Northwestern, chose Catalla for the
western terminus and Mr.. Heney. who
had also surveyed right of way for
railway known as the Copper River,
selected Oroca. Subsequently, the
GuggenheimS acquired by purchase
the Heney right of way, together with
that portion of the road then built.
A branch projected from Catalla to
the coal mines in the vicinity of Ber-
ing lake, viii be completed as soon
as possible, but the terminus of the
branch will be Cordova instead of
Catala.
The objective point of the road at
this time is the mouth of the Tazuna
river, at which point the Copper
River country will be effectively tap
ped. In this region the Guggenheims
control vast copper properties, and
they are also interested in the coal
lands of Catalla and vicinity, so that
they will have railroad facilities to
move their copper and coal output to
Cordova bay, one of the finest land
locked harbors on the Alaska coast,
with excellent anchorage and other
facilities for shipping protected and
easily accessible in all kinds of wealth
err. Cordova has this big advantage
ioy, and the change of route of the
Copper River & Northwestern, I'M
doubtedly. was due to the inaccessi-
bility of Catalla harbor during stormy
weather.
The choice between building a
breakwater at Catalla or extending
the railroad to Cordova bay, is one
of utility. Estimates of the cost OF
the breakwater have been about 81
100000 and it's feasibility has been
questioned.
According to the plans under con-
sideration the coal mines owned by
the Catalla-Anthracite company will
be opened before the line to the cop
per mines is finished The company,
which is capitalized for 100000,
is controlled by the Guggenheim in
terests.
The line will run from the coal
fields to the Copper river above the
CANYON near the mouth of the Iaz-
nuna river, thence in a curve west
ward to Cordova bay, where the ter
minal will be located.

SUNDAY SERMON.
Continued from page two)

natural anticipations deceive us.
Every human life is fresh one,
bright with hopes that will never be
realized.
with all men there is a turning
point in life, but in every case lie IS
not what any of them expects. There
are two ways of considering this as
pect of life One is that of sentl-
ment; the other that of faith. The
sentimental way is stale enough.
Saint. sage, sophist, moralist and
preacher have repeated in every pos
sible image, till there is nothing new
to say, that life is bubble, dream,
a delusion, a phantasm.
1.-The other way is the way OF
faith. The ancient saints felt the
brokenness of life's promise. They
were strangers and pilgrims here.
They said they had here no continu-
ing city. They rejoiced that it was
so. They felt that all was right;
they knew that the promise itself
had a deeper meaning. The next
question is, What is the meaning of
this delusiveness? 1t serves to al
lure us on. We are led through life
as we are allured upon journey, in
anticipation of what lies just ahead,
lust around the next turn of the road.
Life, in fact, is education. The OBJ
ject for which you educate your son
is to give him strength of purpose,
self command, to discipline the men
tai energies; but you do not reveal
this aim to aim; you urge him to
high place in his class, and tell of
the 1honors to be gained in college.
knowledge, yet these mean incentives
stimulate and lead on, day after day,
by a process the principle of which
the boy is not aware of.
1.-The human heart has an indie
structible power of believing, in
spite of failure of fulfillment of de-
sires and promises and aspirations.
We cannot charge God with decep-
ton. Life is no deception, it is illu-
sion. Gods promises are true,
though Elusive. We work for a
mean, low happiness, and all the time
He is leading us to a spiritual bless
edness, unfathomly deep. This is
the life of faith. We live by faith
and not by sight. We do not COM
fort the poor man by saying that the
riches he is denied now will be his
hereafter. But what we say is, that
which you have failed in reaping here
you never will reap, If you expected
the harvest of Canaan. God has no
earthly Canaan for His own. No
milk and honey for the luxury of the
senses; for the city with foundations
is built in the souls of men. He in
whom Godlike character dwells has

DAILY WEST POSTS DIVIDEND
Christmas Present of Thirty Gents
Per Share Given to Stock
holders.

SALT LAKE, Dec. 10.--Contrary
to expectations and to advices sent
from the east, the directors of the
DAILY West Mining company, at their
meeting in this city Monday after
noon, posted dividend of 80 cents
a share, making the dividend $54, 900
instead of $10S,00O, as was the case
the other three quarterly meetings of
the year. This marks the company
a distributor during 1907 of $685.
900 in the form of profits. The
amount posted yesterday Is payable
on the 10th of this month, to all
stockholders of record on the 10th.
When the present unfortunate smelt-
ing situation is taken into considera-
ton, but especially the great handi-
cap under which the DAILY West COM
pany is laboring in the present USE
lessness of the Ontario drain tunnel,
the action of the directors on Mon
day will be all the more appreciated.
The company has been forced to con-
fine its energies to the upper levels
of the mine at Park City during the
past two years, and while the results
have been very satisfactory, as is
shown by the dividend record of this
noted old dividend payer, they are
as nothing compared with what they
will be when the lower levels are
available to the management. This
distribution of profits will come as a
most welcome Christmas present to
the many stockholders of the Daily
West. and will bring the grand total
of Daily West dividends up to $5,-
777,000.

CANANEA IS
HARD PRESSED
Arrival From the Rig Mexican Camp
Tells of Dwindled Population.
Take Six Months to Resume.

Robinson district in particular and
all Nevada for that matter, have rea-
son to congratulate themselves on ex-
listing conditions when comparison is
made with portions of the southwest,
particularly with Cananea, the home
of the Greene-Cananea company,
where a shutdown of the mines and
nearly every other branch of the
property has been made so complete
that it seems impossible that the
company can have any idea of reop-
ening under six months, according to
the statement of w. T. Owen, news
paper man who is in the city from
the south.
Il am surprised to find conditions
in this section so well in hand and
apparently SO little affected by siren
uous conditions elsewhere" he said
last evening. Il have just come from
copper country where common re-
port has it that affairs here are fairly
desperate. I am glad to see that this
is untrue.
ITO say that Cananea is in very
bad shape is not telling half the
story. From a town of more than
10000 persons it has dwindled down
to a point where there were, when l
left, only about 1000 inhabitants.
Realty values have fallen to nothing
and many of those who remain are
there on the slender hope that the
town will be revived by the opening
of the mines before their small re-
sources are entirely exhausted.
One or two of the shafts of the
Greene-Cananea are doing develop
ment work, some smelter improve
ments are under way, and some of
the smaller mining companies in the
district are going ahead, but there
can hardly be more than 500 men en-
ployed at the outside.
The announced cause of the close
down was the prevailing price of cop
per, which the management stated
would not allow margin of profit. 1t
is generally understood, however. that
more than this is back of the move.
Wise ones say that game of freeze
out is under way and that this is one
of the main factors in the move.
at was also currently rumored be-
fore I left that the Mexican govern
ment was about to take hand and
would force the company to reopen
it's workings or would forfeit their
concessions. How true this is | can
not say. In any event with pumps
pulled out of most of the main work
ing shafts and with men frightened
away by the closedown, it will proba-
bly, be long time before work on
very large scale can be resumed.
1T is generally thought that more
Mexican labor than has heretofore
been employed there will be utilized
when the camp reopens, in fact that
it will be placed on practically Mex
lean basis with lower wage scale
than that paid heretofore"

MINING, MARKETS AND METAL

Monday from Bingham to the effect
that the miners in that camp had
agreed by unanimous vote to abide
by the action of the operators in es-
tablishing the old wage scale by
which they accept reduction of 25
cents a day. This removes any pos
sible trouble from the Bingham dis
trict for the coming winter, and has
placed a mighty appreeiative taste in
the mouths of all the companies OPP
Grating in the camp.
One prominent official of Bing-
ham organization stated Monday that
the action of the men has not only
brought peace to the camp, but it has
brought assurance of continuous ac-
tivity up that way, with the action
coming at time when the operators
especially appreciate the wisdom of
their miners. The wage scale at
Bingham is called automatic, in that
it will operate in favor of the miners
when copper picks up again. This
was stated yesterday by one of the
operators who added that the miners
action had brought the interests of
the mines and miners closer to-
gether.
Bingham has every reason to antic-
ipate a successful winter. The Bos-
ton Consolidated company is adding
to its force of men as its needs re-
quire, the Yampa has resumed, and
the Utah Copper company is pegging
away with it's usual faithfulness with
out any thought of curtailing their
forces or plans of work.

prevent too rapid and disastrous re-

other feature to be considered is the
uncertain attitude of congress, which
now seems likely to dodge issues
rather than to attempt to strike at
titude before the public which might
not look good in the approaching ma
tional campaign. The legislators
have developed warirfess that is not
