CONTROL OF UNION LANDS.

The option on 400 acres of Union Land company's lands, which was giv- en to Thomas F. Cole and associates about two months ago, was exercised Monday, and a check of S150,00G was given to the land company in exchange for the property, which thus passes into the ownership of the Cole inter- ests.
 The deeds for these properties have been placed in escrow in Calumet since the latter part of November, and the option ran until January ,, by which time the money was to have been paid in hand to the Union Land company or the deed returned.
 The lot in question consists of ten forties in sections II aRd 15. The lands are described as follows: The southeastern and southwestern quar- teTs Of section 15, the southeastern quarter of section 14 and the north half of the southwestern quarter of section H.
 The sale of this property means a dividend of s2 upon the Union Land company, which will be declared in the very near future. Directors meet January 17.-Mining Gazette.

SCARLET FEVER INVESTIGATION
 ON FOOT =. ,.
Houses Under Suspicion OnI Chihuahua Hill Attracting Attention of the City Health Department, -...

In order to find out definitely the facts in regard to the rumors which have been going the rounds of the city during the past few days in regard to there being scarlet fever on Chi huahua Hill among the Mexican fam flies, which has not been reported to the health department, thorough ex- animation of the houses wich have day.
 Several days ago a resident Of Chk huahua Hill reported to one of the physicians of the city that child had died of diphtheria in that section of the city. and that the parents had buried the deceased at 2 o'clock in the morning.
 Another resident of the same sec ton of the city reported that a man had been susering from smallpox, and that he had left the city on one of the outgoing trains. When this report was made known to one of the local police officers, the officer remembered having seen a man whose face resem- bid that of smallpox patient going in the direction of the railroad depot, Duls uc Uiu uOl luiuh any lUluB dDOuI " at the time-the thought never occur ring to him that a person afflicted with the disease would be walking about the street.
 One of the guards at a diphtheria house on Chihuahua Hill stated that he had seen the man supposed to be afflicted with smallpox, and stated that he was of that opinion also. { Several other cases of the kind have been rumored about the streets, and a night ortwo ago one of the local physi- clans made an investigation of one house, but did not find anyone there
 To set all doubts on the matter at rest, and if the condition reported is found to be fact, to take steps to handle it properly, Dr. Williams, who is acting city physician, will make a thorough investigation of the houses this morning. What lends color to the report is the fact that the ignorant class of ! Mexicsns will not report cases of con. tagious diseases, for fear of being quarantined

NEVER ORGANIZED ANY GUT RATE AGREEMENT

You never did that?"
 No" [ NsEsi..
 Never cut any rates?"
 We never organized any cut rates. !"
 Are not transcontinental rates the consolidation?"
 "All lines tried to advance rates about twelve per cent, but this could net be maintained" F
 Kellogg submitted to the witness statements showing that the Union Pacific had prospered greatly in the last few years, and asked in view of this if he considered the present rates as equitable.
 q consider them entirely reason able"
 And competition between the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific is still keen?"
 Just as keen"
 Do you think this?'
 ''No, know it."
 Commissioner Clegetts asked If the Southern Pacific company owned stock in the Southern Pacific Express com psny. Stubbs replied he believed il did.
 He was asked it the Union Pacific held stock in the Wells-Fsrgo com pany. The witness was unable tc answer, but the Union Pacific attor neys said that the railroad held about forty per cent of the express com pary's stock.
 In response to Lanes questions Stubbs declared there Is as much com petition between transcontinenta lines as there ever was. Would the fact" asked Lane, Stha two roads such as the Northern Paci fic and Great Northern were under on' ownership have any eject on rates?
 T don't believe 1t would have a par l ticle Of effect said Stubbs.

MAY BAR BIG LIFE COMPANIES
Legislator PIans Bill to
 Shut Out Foreign Concerns.

MILWAUKEE, Jan. 9.-C. A. Ester brook member-elect of the assembly, has prepared a bill which he will in troduce in the lower house that will make some of the eastern life insur- ance companies sit up and take notice. MT. Esterbrook's bill will provide that no company which pays any of it's officers salaries in excess of S25, 5,000 d year can do business in Wisconsin. This would shut out most of the big eastern companies. The legislative committee which investigated life in- suraDce problems had recommended a bill somewhat similar. but not so dras- tic. The committee bill provides that no Wisconsin company shall pay sal aries in excess of $25,000, but says nothing of keeping companies whc pay more out of the state.

HOLIDAYS ARE DULL IN EGYPT.

ALEXANDRIA, Jan. 9-The holiday season has been dull on account of al most total absence of the usual festi- vfties. There has been lull in the arrivals of visitors from Europe this week. Next week, however will see a resumption of the rush which may then be expected to continue fer some time
 The Eg:Nn season has admittedly made a rather poor start, but is ex. pected to be if not a record-breaker at least equal to any of its predeces sors.
 Bookings ahead at the hotels are Yer~ numerous.
 These go to show that, while a very large contingent of American tourists is expected, the American element will not predominate to the same extent as last year. On the other hand, the number of inquiries from England has been unusually large.

ATTORNEY ASHURST
 FIRES RED HOT SHOT

z Of all the straight-fromthe-sho der charges that have been made by District Attorney Ashurst against the board of supervisors in Coconino county is his last, which he fired as a parting shot to the board which went out of office on January l.
 Ashurst's letter to the board was submitted shortly before the payment by the supervisors of $500 to E. N. Doe for legal services rendered in as- sisting Ashurst In the trial of county case. Ashurst says that by making this payment the old board again ''pinched" Coconino county.
 Ashurst's letter to the board of su- peryisors protesting against the pay ment to Doe, fairly sizzles. It Is as follows:
 Referring to the case new pending in our district court, entitled Grand Canyon Railway company. plaintiff, against Thos. DeviEe as treasurer and ex-officio tax collector of Coconino county ct al, defendants, wherein the plaintiff alleges that its railroad and hotel property are exempt from taxa ton and asks a perpetual injunction restraining Coconino county from col lecting the taxes assessed against It's property, in this county, for the year 1906, you are advised that I do not re- quire any additional counsel to assist me in said case.
 The legal questions therein in volved are neither complex nor intri- cate; moreover. the attorney general of this territory. whose duty it is, among other things. to assist dis trict attorney in cases where such dis trict attorney calls upon him for as sistance, has volunteered to render this office, any assistance within his power, in this case. 7 f

s CHICAGO, Jan. 9-J. c. Stubbs, traffic director of the Union and Southern Pacific systems, was called as a witness before the interstate com merce commission today. Answering many questions, Stubbs said rates from Pittsburg to the Atlantic, thence via Morgan steamship and Southern Pacific to California, were the same ss those via all-rail roads, but he be- ieyes very little freight from Pitts burg, Busalo or Wheeling ever went that way When asked whether freight could not be routed by his Chicago office either via New Orleans or Ogden, the witness said that the line on which traffic originated Gic- tated the route. He said there was strong competition in Chicago for Pa cific coast business. He was asked If Neimeyer, the Chicago agent, was . competitor for this business.
 'sHe is."
 'Ts he a competitor as between the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific"
 "As much as ever he was"
 '@That means he never was g com petitor.''
 MT. Kellogg asked many questions regarding competition between the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific, designed to show that the roads were, prior to 1901, but are not now, compe- titors. Stubbs' answers were not al- ways satisfactory to the attorney. Stubbs continued:
 "They are not competitors for Cali fornia business, and never were, ac- cording to my theory"
 Stubbs was asked if earlier in his connection with the Southern Pacific the Union Pacific made hieher rates of New York than from New York itself, because the Souther nPacific was compelled to assume the east. bound haul to New York in order to connect with steamship lines.
 That was done" said Stubbs "We had to be consistent"
 Stubbs, in answer to questions, said that prior to 1901 the Union and Southern Pacific had separate solicit ors in various cities seeking the same Pacific coast business. Kellogg asked Stubbs if he would permit the cutting sf rates by the Southern Pacific iI order to take business from the UnioI Pacific, or vice versa.
 No" he replied.
 Did you cut rates on the Southern Pacific in order to take business iron the Union Pacific prior to the consol idation?"
 q think not"
