Gary the Scene of Wild Ri

LOCAL men WANT IN

Applicants Who Covet Rights
Of Wav, Etc.

Peter W. Meyn and A. NJ. Turner of
this city. who are supposed to be rep
resenting a crowd of eastern capital
lists. We're added to the rapidly increas-
ing number of franchise seekers who
have been besieging the board of
trustees of Gary ever since it became
known that some traction franchises
were to be awarded and that the com
pany offering the best terms would be
given the privileges.
1t was understood that the board
was about to award the franchises
and accordingly at the meeting there
was a notable gathering of the rep
resentatives of the capitalists who We're
willing to construct the lines.
The board approached the matter
gingerly, however, and after some dis
cussion it was finally postponed until
the next meeting in order to give rep
resentatives of the various companies
an opportunity TO amend their fran
chises and the city attorney to bring
in an opinion on several points which
were raised.
Matter is Postponed.
Two members of the board We're
ready to take immediate action in the
matter but it was finally agreed to
postpone it until others could submit
franchises.
President Hanna of the Chicago.
Lake Shore and South Bend interurban
asked for a franchise to supplement
that he already has through Gary
He evidently expects the other lines to
be used as feeder to the interurban
which is now being built through
! Gary
Besides Mr.. Meyn, whose effort to
secure a franchise was mentioned
above, Mr. Castleman of the Lake
Shore Traction company, signified his
intention of fling an amended fran
chise and Mayor Darrow of LaPorte
said he would do likewise. The scram-
| BILE for franchises was an interesting
one and the rival traction representa-
/ tives are watching each other closely
in order to avoid giving each other an
| advantage.
! Besides those mentioned above were
the several other we'll known men pres
ent. among them being Senator Bowser

Major A. J. Doran, councilman
elect from Yavapai county, and one
of the leading mining men of the ter
ritory will with Gus Heyman and
other associates begin placer mining
on large scale on Lynx Creek in
the early spring. They have bonded
1000 acres of patented land in that
section and the operations of the
company will be on a large scale.
One of the principal features of the
proposition is that a floating dredge
will be used and hydraulic mining
will be engaged. This will be one of
the most businesslike placer PROPOSE
lions which have ever been under
taken in Arizona and should prove a
big success. These gentlemen may
prove that Arizona has millions of
wealth in a recoverable shape in her
placers. Most of the placer opera
tions on large scale in the territory
have been failures. But we believe
that this one bears a fair chance of
making a success.-Arizona Mining

Men Are Laid off at Laeuna.

Notices have been posted at La
guna refuting the r eport that there
was to be closing down of the work
at that point. This would seem to
set the rumor at rest.
J. G. White & Co. state that no
shutdown orders haye been received,
nor so far as he knew, were any con.
templated. He attributed the rumor
to the fact that the completion of
certain portions of the work had
occasioned the laying off of good
many men.
A steam dredger has been tenn
porarily laid off, and of course the
crew was discharged. From this cir
cumstance it is-supposed that the re-
port of a shutdown arose.
1t is understood on good authority
also that a slight modification of
plans at the dam will shortly involve
the laying off, for little. of a fur
Their portion of the force.
This slack-up on a part of the
work will be followed quickly by the
installation of larger force and the
pushing of work on grander scale
than has hereto %ire been attempted.

Suits to Dissolve the Gould Companies
Who Are Violating State Laws.

Suits to dissolve the alleged merger
of the Wabash, Missouri Pacific and

PEDRO ALVARADO PLANS
TO GIVE TO POOR.
Would Give Homes to Poor Rather Than
EndOw Libraries and Schools.

Pedro Alvarado, owner of the Pal.
milo mine at Parral, Chihuahua,
Mexico, whose wealth is estimated
at more than $3.50, 100000, is under
stood to have announced that he
will distribute S1O,OO0'OOO or more
to the poor of Mexico within thirty
days.
This young man, who six years ago
was a poor miner, offered to pay the
government debt of Mexico some
time ago, but the offer was declined.
He is going to see President Diaz and
renew the offer.
He says he got his vast wealth
from the earth, which is part of
Mexico, and he proposes that his poor
countrymen shall share his good for
tune.
His plan is not to give cash, but
homes and land for the poor and
equip them so they can earn their
living at trades and on plantations.
He promises to make ten thousand
Mexicans independent, to educate as
many poor children and to give away
a few millions every year. Already
for several years he has been liberal
giver to the poor and has built
churches and schoolhouses.
''To erect monuments, establish
libraries and endow great universe
ties is to but help the rich and their
children" he thinks, shut it neither
feeds the body, clothes the naked nor
saves the souls of the deserving poor.
I propose to give away much of my
wealth before L die, for none of it 1
can take with me, and only fool
will hoard wealth while half the world
starves. "-EX.

WESTERNERS TO HAVE
CLUB In NEW YORK.
Eastern Metropolis Will Be the Home for
Former Rocky Mountain Residents.

Western men now in New York
have organized the Rocky Mountain
Club of New York, to provide home
in New York City for residents and
former residents of the Rocky Noun
tain states. The organization of the
club was suggested about year ago
at the annual dinner of the Montana
Society of New York. The Montana
Society appointed a committee, con-
sisting of A. j. Seligman, formerly of
Helena, Montana; John Hays Ham,
mond, William B. Thompson, formerly
of Butte, Montana; J. Campbell
Cory, formerly of Montana; James
]. McEvilly, formerly of Helena,
Montana, to communicate with resi-
dents of other Rocky Mountain
states in the formation of this club.
More than one hundred and fifty
applications have been received. A
report will be made at the annual
dinner of the Montana Society at
Delmonico's January 10. All former
and present residents of California
Oregon, Washington, Montana,
Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada
Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico
are eligible.
1t is the purpose of the organizers
of this club not only to provide a
social organization but to work in
furthering the interests of the west
ern states in the east. Almost all of
the members of this club are inter-
ested in mining enterprises.
1t is purposed to acquire club
house in the vicinity of Thirty-fourth
street, so that all westerners visiting
the city may find it convenient to
visit the club, where files of all west,
ern newspapers will be kept on hand.
A register will be provided, so that
friends advised as to their where
abouts. James ]. McEvilly, of No.
81 Liberty street, is secretary of the
Committee.-N. Y Herald.

An Important Mining Decision.

In the United States circuit court
of appeals of California Judge Gill
bert decided that one may make an
original location of a mining claim
upon land marked and occupied under
an attempted prior location, if such
prior location is void by reason of
location notice or recording the
same, but cannot make a relocation
of such claim. Such land, if mineral,
is, Notwithstanding prior proceed
ings, unappropriated public land sub
ject to location. The decision was
rendered in an ejectment suit on the
Eddy claim in the Searchlight dis
trict of Nevada.

Greene Consolidated.

From the fact that all official an
nounCements as to the securing of
control of the Greene Consolidated
company by the Cole-Ryan interests
were given out at the Amalgamated
Copper copper, ~ Broadway, the
close relationship between the Cole
Ryan operations and the Amalga-
mated Copper company is very APP
parent.
One close to the Greene company
says: "If stockholders of the
Greene Consolidated Copper COM
pany do not receive dividends for
some time to cone there should be no
complaint, considering the fact that
the price of Greene shares has adj
vanced SO per share as a result of
the CoR-Ryan interests assuming the
management of the company.
GAS a matter of fact the Greene
company had no business to pay divi-
dends in 1906 If construction had
been properly charged, the financial
statements would have shown that
the Greene company did not earn a
dollar in the first six months of 1906
and failed by good margin to earn
it's dividends in the last six months,
Notwithstanding the high price of
the metal.
"The Greene Consolidated prop
erty is one of the greatest copper
properties in the world, but it is ap-
parent that the old management was
not capable of handling it to the best
advantage and that the company did
not enjoy the necessary credit to
properly finance its needs"

Walkers Weekly Copper Letter.

Copper touched a new high price
level this week when sales of spot
lake were made at % cents per
pound, point not reached before
since 1880. This price was made on
cash sales only, and the regular mar
ket is not yet up to this level. For
March, April and May deliveries,
lake is selling around "a cents to 244
cents, and electrolytic at 234 cents to
"A cents per pound. There are many
buyers and few sellers. Supplies con-
tinue exhausted, and there is nothing
in sight to encourage the belief that
prices will decline for several months
to come.
The fuel famine, due partly to
labor troubles and partly to inability
of railroads to handle all the traffic.
offered them, is seriously Curtailing
production in the northwest and
southwest, the output of the Bisbee
district having been smaller for two
or three months past, and the smelter
of the Old Dominion company now
being closed down because of coke
and coal shortage.
1t seems impossible that there can
be any considerable increase in cop
per supplies before August or Sep
TENDER of this year, as the product
of the new smelling capacity now
being constructed must go through
the refineries before reaching con-
sumers. At best there is always a
considerable delay in the starting of
new reduction plants. This fact
found illustration recently in the an
nouncement that the big smelter of
the American Smelling & Refining
company at Garfield, Utah, after
running two or three months, has
been closed down for extensive alter
ations and repairs.

NEW MEXICO NEWS 4

The Independent reports that the
Brennan group of mines at Chloride
Flat, near that town, the mines that
gave the name to Silver City, have
been sold by Mrs. Brennan to Z. H.
Merritt, who will work the mines and
ship the ore to the Silver City reduc-
ton works.
A new strike has been made in the
eighty-ive mine which is great in
dication of prosperity. At the go
foot level a drift is being run into
the mountain to the south. There is
a five-foot vein, on which the drift is
being run, and three feet of this is
high grade sulphlde, which will run
more than 20 per cent. in copper.
The further the drift is carried into
the mountain the larger grows the
sulphide deposit, and the indications
are that very large body of ore has
been run into. There is ore in all
the openings of sthe s., and since
the Roberts & Leahy mercantile COM
pany started work on it last spring it
has not been out of ore. The COM
pany is shipping about four cars a
week to Douglas, and if this present
strike turns out as expected, it will
increase its shipments materially.
The company has had several people
after the property, but they have
not stopped work on it because some
one wanted it, and every time before
the intended purchaser would make
up his mind to take it a larger body
of ore would be opened up, and the
mine would be more valua ble.-
Liberal.
For many years governors of New
Mexico have been firing county Off
GERS, when their work became too
rank for the good of the community
basing their power to do so on
United States law which provides
that the governor "shall take care
that the laws be faithfully executed"
Governor Thorton fired the sheriff of
Santa Fe county, and he stayed fired.
Governor Otero fired the sheriff and
treasurer of Bernallllo county, the
Hubbel brothers, but they refused to
stay fired. They took the case into
court, and last week the supreme
court of the territory decided that
the governor did not have the power
to fire county officer. This put the
Hubbel's back into office, but they
only had two days to serve. 1t is
reported that the case will be APP
pealed to the supreme court, and it
is also reported that the Hubbel's
will sue the men who occupied the
offices for the emoluments of the
jobs. Whether they succeed or not,
it is certain that Governor Otero
succeeded in his object, which was to
drive the Hubbel's out of politics in
Bernalillo county, for they cut no ice
at the late election, and all their
candidates for office were defeated,
and the opposition republicans hold
all the county offices.

Cripple Creek comes promptly to
hand with the record of its gold pro
duction. 1t was $18,OOO,OOO for 1906
This is far from being a record yield
The total was exceeded in 1899, and
in every year since then with the ex-
ception of 1903, when the strike shut
some of its mines in that region for
several months. Its biggest output
was S25, 100000, which was scored in
1901. Cripple Creek is still the most
prolific gold camp in the contiguous
part of the United States. Possibly
the entire state of California, in the
new expansion in that region will
beat Cripple Creek of 1906.
