THE MILK PRICE ADVANCE.
A Consumer Takes Issue With
Dealer Thompson's Statement.


To the Editor of The Star:
In Fridays Star Mr.. c. Thomson. in
explanation Of the milk price advance, re-
fers to advance in the price of milk for
the winter months" Let US hope 1t Is for
the winter months only, but remembering
the Temporary" ice-f famine price of 1906
holding over 1907 can't believe IT.
Mr. Thompson puts on milk producers
the burden of the advance price. for which
ne says none of the milk dealers Is re-
sponsible." Again he puts it on condensed
milk combines and says 1t is beyond his
power to cure. Again he puts it on the
law officers and the press by their aiding
combination oppression.
II, as Mr.. Thompson says. the producers
are to blame for advanced prices. and the
dealers are helplessly innocent. why do
not the dealers and producers come to-
gether as they did in Baltimore Yesterday
with result as follows:
Resolved, That we as Joint com
mittee of producers and Baltimore dealers
appointed by the farmers on October %
ind that no organization of dealers exists
and recommend that each producer ask his
dealer the price that he thinks proper"
BY such a plan the consumers would
get due consideration, according to MI
Thompson's argument. and the good Of all
accomplished. l hope there Is no combna-
ton between the local Producers Asso-
citation and Dealers Association, or even
among members of the Dealers Associa-
ton, but 1 am reluctant in believing there
is none. for, read the following which
September 3. 1907. appeared In The Star:

the Milk Dealers Association. speaking on
the proposed advance in the price of milk,
today said:
Members of the MIX Dealers Assoca-
ton realize that there is a necessity for
an increase In the price of milk to the pro-
ducers. this being caused by an Increase in
the price of labor and feed OF all kinds.
The object of the appointment of our COM
mttee of six to confer with similar COM
mittee from the Producers Association
was to arrive at an er.tandiEg in re-
gard to the price of milk for the coming
winter.
1--WE all realize that the interests of the
producer and the dealer are Identical. and
we feel that If the price of milk to the
farmer in the country Is advanced to too
high a figure there will be surplus of
milk in the city, followed by a natural re-
duction In prices all around. We want a
stable price and We do not wish to fix a
price 50 high as to cause an overproduc-
ton of milk in the country and a conse-
quent dropping of the price until it falls SO
low as to again curtail the supply from
the country. Our course we believe, In
securing stability in the production and
the price of milk IS in the interest not
only of the dealer and producer, but the
public as we'll
Now. how does Mr.. Thompson, in say
ing: In consequence of tn above ire
ferrlng to the hard hand of the law, etc.
the production Of milk is TO. eqrrl to
the demand, and the producers, knowing
these conditions. have S IL a upon the
opportunity to demand what Wa think a
most unreasonable price for milk" recon-
Gle it with President Farquhar's pronun-
ciamento beginning: We all realize?"
Mr. Farquhar's statement shows d com
bination of price interests between pro
ducers and dealers, regulat d by their
respective associations in meeting. and
instead, as Mr.. Thompson asserted, Of the
fact that "the production of N TX is not
equal to the demand" there is combine
to prevent overprOduction and surplus ac-
emulation. thereby sitting honest com
petition and regulating price and keeping
il at an arbitrary figure.
Last month l paid cents for half
pint of cream: this month | have to pay
cents: that is to say. 1 pay IL cents
more month for fifteen pintS than some
one who buys by the pint. That is wrong,
A pint bottle costs but an infiniteSimal
part more than half-pint one; Gaping
1t does not cost any more than Gaping d
haH-pint one and delivery costs no more.
There are more one-haif pint milk con-
sumers than by the pint. and a vastly
greater number of half-pint cream con-
sumers. The advance of cents quart
on cream, is exorbitant; cents advance
surely is enough. making % cents quart
and Z cents half pint thus eliminating
fractions In price-a source of irritation in
all our commercial dealings. The price OF

Copper Steadily AccumuIating.

Boston-Copper is accommodating at
various points throughout the coun-
try, and at one place in particular
the Raritan works of the United
Metals Selling company in New
Jersey-the copper is plainly visible
from the trains of either the Penn
sYlvania or Jersey Central railroads.
At the Lake copper is storing up,
as sales of this brand called for Ge-
livery which for the most part should
have been completed by the middle
of July, and the stocks here are
variously estimated at from 5000, 900
to 3O,OO0,O pounds.
The American Metal company of
New York is understood to be offer
ing copper at under 10 cents a pound.
The Vogelstein interests have a sur
plus of the metal on hand.
Last week prominent wire manu-
facturers held a meeting in New
York, and the consensus of opinion
following the conference was that
business in the last three months had
fallen off 30 per cent.
The brass people state that their
business has fallen from 30 per cent.
to 10 per cent, while the sheet cop
per business is practically at stand
still.
For special purposes the Roeblings
were obliged few days ago to buy
about 100000 pounds of electrolytic
copper at 22 cents.
Neither the Quincy nor the Stan
ton companies have sold copper i'll
quantity for several months.
The copper production of the coun-
try is from 100000 to 100000
pounds day. Delivery of copper
contracted for some months ago was
finished for the most part in June and
July. With no recent sales the ac-
cumulation is apparent.
There have been several attempts
at re-sales OF the metal by manufact-
uring interests, and this fact taken
in connection with sales of small lots
by independent producers and selling
interests, has thus far been sufficient
to carry the consumers alOng.-Bos-

Why Mining Don't Pay.

About Il year ago we were looking
for a mine in which to invest. After
investigating several that were Of
good We went out to the mine with
the owner, who took twelve samples,
all of which assayed well. Right
then we took bond on the property,
the price after seeing the returns
from the samples.
We agreed to do a certain amount
of work on the mine, pending con-
summation of the deal. The next
thing was to get d general manager
and superintendent and to start work
on the property. We hal great
deal of trouble in deciding upon the
general manager, for we had heard
of general managers who were not
honest, and we wanted none but an
honest man to handle our money.
We finally decided to appoint as gen
eral manager my son, John. He was
good honest boy and had had twen-
y
one year of which had been in my Of
flee, and he had never stolen the safe
or anything else, either large or
small. The choice of superintendent
we left to John. There were several
men who were recommended for the
place, but when John saw them, they
wanted from Sc to 50 per day, which
we could not stand, for our Office men
in the st. Louis Office only receive
about that much per week. In about
two weeks a man came along and
said that he would like to be superin-
tendent at 81 per day, and John was
very glad to get him. He had been
a cowpuncher all his life, but had
''diploma" from d correspondence
school, stating that he had"taken the
course prescribed for mine superin-
tendent. The superintendent hired d
crew of miners that had been in coal
mines since they were ten years old.
Two engineers, two top men and one
tool sharpener were engaged. From
then on everything went well for four
months-that is, we sent them their
checks regularly. Then l came out
to see how the work was getting
along. Following are some of the
things l found on arriving at the
mine:
Eight men above ground, including
the cook; four men under ground; d
tool sharpener with only two hours
work per day; superintendent who
went below once day for twenty

Two car loads of ore were shipped
last week and it is expected that an

The shaft is now down 80 feet and
cross cuts are being made for the
purpose of uncovering new ore

at the mine, and new veins are being
constantly encountered. Mr.. Cow

in the mine, has been visiting the

beck, prominent mine owners in the
Bisbee section, who recently leased
the Leadville Mining company's
property, forty-fve miles northeast
of here to the Calumet & Arizona,
are in Douglas looking over the coun-
| try south of the American border.
! The two men. who have prospected
hereabouts for twenty years and both
won fortunes from the ground, are of
the opinion that Sonora's S mines only
await development to make many
hundreds of men rich and add mil
lions to the worlds wealth. They,
themselves, will probably expend
large part of their energies in the
future in Sonora. "The G. & A. are
working the Leadville mine under
bond and will continue to take out
ore for two or three months longer"
said Mr.. Holmes. "The value of the
Leadville mine is of course apparent
for the ore already lies staked out.
Just whether we shall find as rich
property as that in Sonora / can't
say, but no doubt it is there. Any
how, we're going to find out within
the next few months. "A

Angeles where he has been spending
the summer. Aiusworth was a candi-
date for delegate to congress on the
joint statehood ticket in the last
campaign and is the leader of the
joint statehood forces in this terri
tory. When seen by special CORE
spcudent of the Review Ainsworth
stated that he did not believe that
Roosevelt would change his joint
statehood policy toward Arizona and
New Mexico upon the statements
made by Kibbey and Sturgis. The
late candidate for congress stated abb
solutely that he had it straight from
Secretary Loeb in Washington that
in the future none but joint statehood
men, in accord with the presidents
policy, were to be appointed to Office
in Arizona. He gave It as his opinion
that the policy of the republican
party regarding joint statehood tor
Arizona and New Mexico would not
be changed one iota, and that he
doubted that if Kibbey and Sturgis
could take Arizona away from Roose-
welt if they tried. According to
Ainsworth the jointists will enter the
next convention in favor of an unin-
structed delegation to the national
convention, but favoring delegation
which would further the cause of
joint statehood.

Dramatic Club Entertainment.

The Morenci public was treated to
local talent entertainment at the
Rink last Tuesday night when the
Morenci Dramatic Club presented d
three act drama entitled 1.-The Face
at the Window" There was fairly
large crowd present and everybody
went away impressed with the fact
that dramatic talent Of unusual abil-
ity had been discovered in this little
hill city.
The work of the entire troupe was
most commendable aud there were
so many stars that it would be i'm
possible to pick out any more worthy
of praise than the rest. Mrs. L. Z.
Rice as "Dinah'' received perhaps
the greatest amount of applause and
was very good in her Interpretation
of the colored character. Miss
Helen Hammer. Mrs. L. d. Roscoe
and Mrs. D. L. Lytel also came in for
their share of the roses as did the
men who portrayed the parts assign
ed them in d most creditable manner.
The singing of the trio consisting of
Mrs. Lytel, Mrs. Roscoe and Mr..
Nord was very good.
There is always a great deal of in
terest taken in these kind of enter
tainments and it is to be hoped that
after making their debut this club of
artists and stars will give other plays
during the coming eason.-Leader.

Try to Wreck Globe Passenger Train.

An attempt was made to wreck the
passenger train on the ella Valley,
Globe & Northern road last week as
the incoming train was crossing the
San Carlos reservation, says the
Globe Belt The attempt occurred
about four miles this side of San
Carlos and had it been successful
there would have undoubtedly been
numerous fatalities.
According to one of the crew the
would-be wreckers had driven four
timbers upright between the ties Il
short distance from a sharp curve
and Engineer S. T. Arkills, who was
at the throttle, did not see the OBJ
structiOn until it was too late to stop
the train. Instead of throwing on
the air, he pulled the throttle wide
open and dashed into the obstruction.
Fortunately for the crew and the
many passengers who were aboard,
the impact of the engine hurled the
timbers from the track and onto the
right-of-way alongside without dam
age to the engine or rails. The train
was brought to 4 stop Immediately,
but resumed its progress to Globe as
soon as it was ascertained that nc
damage had been done.
