DIVIDEND RATE IS DISCUSSED FOR
 GREENE ST0GK
Reduction Expected in Cost of Production in Greene Camp -lohn D. Ryan Says Greene Cananea Will Produce i00,0O0,000 Annually.

NEW YoRK,--It Is understood that ssvfdends will be started on the t50r soo. GOO stock of the Greene-Csnanea Copper Company shortly after an ex. change of it's shares for those of the Greene Consolidated Copper Company and the Cananea Central Copper Com g5auy has been made. The privilege so exchange stock expires April l. The rate Of dividend to be paid on the stock has not been formally dis eaSse4 as ret.
 The Greene Consolidated stock holders have been receiving at the rate Of Zs per cent. a year. or z.sa q share on si0.9S0 900 of q stock of the par vairs of S10 Dividend re asIregnents amount to S2 .499. 900 a year. The Greene Consolidated peo- pge receive a total of f.500, 600 shares of Greene-Cananes stock for their l. exse .Go0 shares. The cananea holders receive 1 yee0.995 shares.
 fn order 10 give the Greene Con soIidased holders the same disburse- mentg as they are nov receiving the Gaeepe-Cansnea Company will have s, psy at fhe rate of $f.6G share. or s4 600 900 a year on the z.oyo.eoV shares oafstandfug. The Cananea
 
 their stock sill, naturally, receive the same dividends as Greene share. holders xfo make the exchange.
 If ie unlikely that the earnings Of the Greene-canansa wlli be sufficient at the start to pay s4 900 900 in divi- dends a year. as the cananeaCen' tral property Is practically in de. veiopement stage, and it will be some time before it will be able to show satisfactory results from the stand point of earnings.
 For the year ending July 31st, the Greene Consolidated Copper Company paid dividends of s2.1S2, 400, and there was surplus of s1.7s5.41S. But included in the earnings was al item of g, ,000, 900 received for th' sale of mining land Had this iten been excluded as it should have been there would have been 8 small deficit
 The actual earnings of the Green Consolidated Copper Company in tn fiscal year ended July 3l, 1906, wer equivalent to about per cent. ol the $50,000,0 ,0o0 outstanding stock o the Greene-Cananea Company.
 Under the management of the Cole Ryan syndicate, there is every reasol to believe there will be a very ma terial reduction in the cost of pro  ducing copper in the Greene camp In the last fiscal year the Green Company's cost of production range from 111z cents 8 pound to, in som cases, 131k cents a pound
 The. company received an average o IS cents pound for it's copper. IL i the opinion of John D. Ryan that tn Greene-Cananea will produce upwar of 10O, 900 0G0 pounds of copper year. If this result is achieved, an cost Of production reduced to a nor reasonable figure than reported b the Greene Consolidated last year, tn GTeene-Cananea Company will be i q position to give the Greene Consol dated stockholders much greater beI efits in the way of dividends than the have been receiving; this on 1S-cen copper, the average received by tn Greene Consolidated Company in it last fiscal year.

PAINE's COPPER LETTER

Special Wire to Duey & Overlook
 BOSTON. Feb. 26.-After the ftrsr heavy liquidation at the opening the market rallied all through the list just as we told you last night that it ought to. North Butte was by fai the most active stock on the list and the buying would certainly seem to foretell some very good news to come out in the near future. Tamarack which was very weak yesterday was in good demand today. Copper Rance opened off a point. but rallied easily to 93 31-2. For tomorrow we expect to see higher prices in North Butte Tamarack. Quin~- and Shannon. The same old buying in Victoria was seen again today and the stock looks well.

Warren shows some strength and would make a good advance should any amount of buying orders put in an appearance. Superior & Pittsburg is on the downward road with the rest. The Cananea issues are also moving down the line exhibit ing the same tendency in a marked degree noted in the rest. Among the stocks of less CT importance than those men- toned there is practically noth- ing doing.

COAL TRADE REVIEW
CONDITIONS or BUSINESS AS
POINTED OUT BY LEADING
TRADE JOURNAL.

Chicago, June s.--Black Diamond
today says: In the main coal prices
in Chicago are practically unchanged
from last week. 1t may be said that
the market Is shade stronger, due in
part to the movement of less unsold
coal and due also in part to the heavy
demand in the lake trade and to the
fact that some railroads are beginning
to store coal. Screenings are espe-
cially strong, although prices have not
advanced. In rare cases lump Goals
are offered at ridiculously low prices.
Domestic coal continues to show a
record movement to this territory and
it is a question whether the appear
ance of warm weather would bring
about an immediate relapse,since deal
ers are almost entirely sold out"

CITIES HAVE CONTROL
LONG STANDING CONTROVERSY
OVER BRIDGE TAKES SET
TIED AT LAST.

Des Moines, Ia, June S.-7A long
standing controversy has been on as
between cities and counties as to
which should nave power over ex-
penditure Of the revenue from tne one
mill county road tax. The decision Of
the court handed down yesterday def
nitely fixes It in the hands Of city
councils. These bodies may decree
where and in what manner every cent
of the tax raised within city limits
snail be expended. ~.
An interesting point in the decision
related to the question Of constitu-
tio1ality. based on objection to the
title. 1t did not include, in addition
to the statement that the act was de-
signed to levy a tax for road purposes,
the manner In which 1t should be ex-
pended. The court holds that this was
not essential. The constitution RI
quires the subject to be expressed in
the title to every statute, but this
does not mean that all matters pro-
perly connected Herewith must also
be included in the title.
The case at issue was entitled The
city of Newton, Ia, vs. the board of
supervisors OF Jasper county, Ia, ct
al. appellants; Jasper district; B. w.
Preston, judge. Af1rmed; opinion by
Deemer.

REMARKABLE GROWTH
Christian Womans Board of Missions
Most Prosperous.

The Missionary Society of the Chris
tian church met yesterday at the home
Of Mrs. o. F. Schee. Second avenue
east. For four months past this So
ciety has been engaged in a contest
with Davenport and Abba for mem
bers and money. In order to do the
work more systematically the society
divided into four divisions, with a
chairman for each division. The re.
suit has been very gratifying. The
membership has grown from Is to
IT'S, and something near 5000 has been
raised In money and pledges. Tie
leaders of each division were greatly
surprised at the close Of the meeting
when they were presented with a life
membership Of $500 each from those
of their division as a token of their
appreciation Of the work done under
their leadership.
A splendid program was giye1 with
Mrs. ]. H. Davis in charge, consisting
of well prepared papers. recitations
and special music. Then followed the
social hour in which all talked at once.
Mrs. Schee served refreshments dur,
ing this period, and made every one
feel so at home that all were loath to
leave. Sixty members were present.
Mrs. b. w. johnson, M-s. E. X. Whit 2
and Mrs. ]. II, Davis we're appointed
delegates to the state convention
which Is soon to meet in Des Moines,

SEWER CONTRACT LET
Wareham and Atchison Will Do the
Work For the City.

The contract for the new hospital
sewer has been awarded and work on
the improvement is to be commenced
Immediately. The contract for the
trench digging was awarded to w. w.
Wareham and w. d. atchison.
The contract was let by the city
council at special session held Fri.
day evening. The sewer will be one
thousand feet in Ie7gth, commencing
about one hundred feet east of the
hospital site and running west to the
east side of the Kemble green houses.
1t then turns south AMI takes advan
tage of the fall of the Kemble prop
erty to the Iowa City road, near which
point 1t connects with the east end"
sewer. The bid of w. W. Wareham
amounted to $2S2.O0 Eight hundred
and forty feet he viii put in for twen-
ty-five cents per foot, and one hundred
and sixty feet at forty-five cents. The
average cut or depth OF the trench will
be trifie over eight and half feet,
and the greatest cut will be about six
teen feet on c avenue. ,z
The city council before letting the
contract took up the matter of the
right-of-way through the Kenble land
Mr.. Kemble ID granted a number of
tappages connecting his green houses
and properties in return for the right
ofway for the sewer. He has quite an
extended system of drainage for his
green houses at the present time, and
this system he will be permitted to
turn into the city sewer.
Three other bids were received by
the city amounting substantially as
follows: Tom Russell, $295.00; James
Myers, $4,000, and Chew & Young,
$4,000. s.. .-. ... ...
City Engineer Shannon estimates
the total cost of the sewer, material,
labor, etc., will be about $500. 90, which
will be saving over the original plan
to take the sewer to Tenth street and
thence south to A avenue. The cost
of the former plan would have been
fifteen TO eighteen hundred dollars.
When it becomes necessary for the
Tenth street lateral to be built 1t can
be put down at a less depth and mucl
less cost.

MARRIAGE 4 FAILURE.
The Bride Is Charged With Unbe-
coming Conduct.

Squire Woodruff has an unusual and
perplexilg problem on his hands that
came up Friday evening in the arrest
of a young woman. Mrs. Pearle Swink
or Pearle Morgan, by a recent mar
riage. Mr.. Woodruff Is guardian for
an old soldier named William Morgan,
who is lying sick unto death and help
less IN mouse Just Off l. street on
the Pella road. James Morgan is the
son of the Old soldier, and short time
since an alliance in matrimony with
the son was sought by one Pearle
Swink. Mrs. Morgan referred the
matter to the Captain, stating that the
girl had known the family In Missouri
and that the marriage would be a good
thing for all concerned in that she
could help care for the invalid, who
Is quite charge in his utter helpless
ness. Mr.. Woodruff opposed the mar
rage, thinking that some Interior mo-
tive existed, but he finally gave con-
sent. 1t now appears that the girl
was not proper person for matrimo-
ny. in that she had pesonal troubles
to be covered up In marriage. Neitn-
err has she conducted herself in a
proper way since the marriage, but
the charge Is made by Mrs. Morgan,
ST., that she has been Ulduly intimate
with divers persons VINO have been at
tracted to the house Through her so
licitations. Dances have been held at
the house to the annoyance Of the sick
man, drunkenness is charged, and
also the claim made that the girl has
absented herself from her husband
since the date of the marriage and has
entertained company at vacant house
south of the Morgan residence. The
girl was arrested last evening and in
default of bond was placed in Jail and
will have a hearing on the charge OF
her improper conduct.

aection with the killing of William
Harding, near Durfee mining camp,
last Friday night, was brought for

ported. No other new details of the
story were developed. The defend

pearance were placed at two hundred
dollars each and the men were releas-
ed on their own recognizance.

George H. Woodson, who made a mo-
ton to have the case dismissed and
for a time this was seriously consii
cred by the justice on hearing the evil
dence and facts set forth. The mo-
ton was oyerruled by the justice, how
ever, and the grand jury will nave 4
chance to investigate the matter if II
so desires.

seems to have caught Tartar.
O.
The president has his favorite ma
ture writer's. He likes his friend Bur

white He looks with favor on Rob

he accused Long of rank exaggeratio7
