HARTMAN
BACKS ERIE
Puts Up the Cash to Redeem
the Notes.
MORGAN in The DEAL
He Engineers while Harri-
man Feeds Furnace.
Likelihood of the Road Gting Into
the Hands of a Receiver, Re-
moved Temporarily at Least

With virtual failure of the plan
last Saturday for the
refunding OF the Erie notes, and
receivership consequently certain,
r.. II. Hartman stood in the breach
and tided the road over its diff
tculties.
only a small proportinn of the
notes were deposited under the Of
fer of exchange ron the new g per
cent. collateral trusts. Many were
presented at the offices of j. p. Nor
gam q Co.. and cash demanded. On
notification that there was no
cash available for their redemption
the tenders of the notes were
Withdrawn. Among these was one
block of S27O,0O0, presented from n
national bank.
Just before the close of business
1t was announced that Il. II. Harri-
man had offered to buy a sufficient
amount of the new collateral trust
notes to enable the company to
meet and pay its $5,50O,OOO notes
due yesterday. Concerning the new
plan j. =. Morgan Il Co., issued
the following announcements:
"Notes are to be paid upon pre-
|sentation at the office of J =. Nor
gan x Co. lin cash or, under the
terms of Mr.. Harriman's offer, the
holder of any such notes, at his OPP
tion. until and including April Is.
is to have privilege of receiving for
his notes as par new 6 per cent.
collateral trust notes and in addi-
tion thereto cash to an amount
equal to per cent OF the new
notes, less interest accrued thereon
upon such receipt and exchange
of all OF the S5,5O0,OO0 notes ma

in the circular of April 4. 1908, vii

ized in the order OF March 81. oi

have surrendered their notes to }

with the exchange plan is not ar
rected by the new offer; the lates
plan is extended to every note
holder. BY means of It. holder
Us practically enabled to purchase
Erie per cent collateral trus
notes, extending three years fol
I95."
An inkling of the faat that the
notes were to be paid in cash was
Irresponsible for the rally in stocks
toward the close OF the market
During the day the market moved
in sympathy with the Erie issues
and its movements were conse
lquently erratic. The Erie notes al
one time sold down as low as SO
but toward the close they sold ur
across 50 giving very plain indica
ton of what was coming.
There are just two things o.
vital Importance in this unexpected
uuGcome aside from the bearing
the incident has upon the Erit
property itself. One is that Mr.
Hartman waited until the las
minute before putting up the cast
to save a receivership which Mr.
Hartman for his own purpose di.
mot wish to see come about. Thi
other is that Mr.. Hartman stands
alone in the promulgation of thi
policy of bolstering up failini
structures, the Morgan house seem
lingly having been quite content t.

Big improvements are to be made at the Allison mines in the Fresnal distrirt, which were recently sold to eastern capitalists. This property is reported to have brought about &200, ,OOO, a considerable portion of which was cash. The Allison mines are located about 70 miles west of Tucson. They are gold properties and have been worked for years by the Allison brothers with good re- turns. It is understood that MT. Bean, who negotiated the sale of the prop critics, has made arrangements for the construction of a big storage dam near the property. This dam, it is said, will be supplied with water from the district in the vicinity of the mine. There is said to be a big water shed which will give all ample supply Among the big improvements which are said 10 be under consideratio for the Allison properties is cOncentra- tor to handle the ores from the mine. Tucson is the shipping point for the mine products, as it is more accessi- ble by wagon road than any other point along the Southern Pacific Citizen.

ScOtty of Death Valley Out Again.

Walter Scott, known the country over as "S.o,ty, the Death Valley Mau of Mystery" has arrived in Chicago after an absence of tw1 1ear-. with SS0O0 more to spend, which he says he took from bis secret mine in the desert of Southern Cali 5ornia.
 As usual, "Scotty' is flying high He engaged a suite at the Auditorium Annex and was pleased beyond de- scription when the fashionable guests in dinner dress eyed him askance in his rough sack suit, blue flannel shirt and red tie.
 q meyer worked so hard in my life as I have, trying to spend money here today" said the man from Death Valley.
 "Why. the place is absolutely dead. They won't let you give them money. The minute they see $5 bill they get scared and run away. went over to the cigar counter, laid down a S20 yellowback. and asked for four cigars. They gave lem to me.
 "'Keep the change I said, just like that, and walked away.
 " 'Darned if the girl didn't call a bell boy and send him chasing after ne with the change!
 "L handed B. bill to page, or :ourtier, or midshipman, or whatever they call those kids in blue suits with brass buttons and he ran half block Town the corridor to catch me. His face was pale with fright.
 c. Mister, you made a mlstake,' he gasped. You gave me S5.'
 Scotty says Chicago is slower than Philadelphia and that if they keep showing the money back ol him he will be able to stay at the Auditorium d month.

Cheap Copper for Cananea Co.

Hayden, Stone S, Company, Of New York, last week issued statement that the Greene Cananea company has established q new record in the production of copper, which if true means that the company will make d good showing during the year 1909. For the months of August, September and October, it is claimed the Greene Cananea produced it's copper at an average cost of 3-4 cents per pound, including freights, refining charges and selling commissions.
 This news should be received with satisfaction from stockholders. as 9 3-4 cent copper is cheaper than any of the Arizona copper companies are producing it. and many ot them are maxim. plenty Jl money.

Lynx Greek PIacers to be Dredsed.

| Well pleased with his examination of the property of the Spec Mining company on Lynx Creek, which he declares is not only rich in gold, but is also among the most advantage ously located ground for placer min- | ing by the dredger process in an ex- prrience of quarter of a century, w T. Uric, president of the Uric Snyder Machine company of Kansas City, Mo-, left for Evansville, Ind, to close a contract for a new dredg- ing plant with the directors of the company. He was accompanied by NJ. l.. Burckley, vice-president and a director of the company.
 II was surprised and very agree ably so, to find the ground owned by the Spec people on Lynx Creek so ric h in gold," President Uric said to Journal-Miper representave. "In my experience in the manufacture of placer mining machinery and man. agement of placer mines Inever saw such promising virgin placer fields as the Spec property. It not only car rles the gold values but is also ad- vantageously located for operation on d large scale. It is a natural sluice box and equipped with the right class of machinery can be ex plotted very economically. My ex- animation impresses me that the ground is even richer than repre- euted aud my experience in the .atuufacture of placer mining ma ti1ery and it's operation leaves no slJ, in my mind as to the success of .. u1dertakin% when it is worked

Will Expend S25.O0O.

Engineers left last week to make the additional surveys for big storage dam in the Silverbell section, north west of Tucson, in which waters will be stored sufficient to lrrigate an area of more than 1000 acres. The pro- ject will involve an expenditure of about S25, ,OO0.
 The Tucson men who are interested in the project are Col. Epes Ran dolph, Gen. L. H. Manning, V. S. Griffith and A. w. Forbes. They have secured a number of surveys and have made general examination of that section of the country. They are entirely satisfied that there is a sufficient water supply to maintain a big reservoir for the irrigation project.
 It is planned to have this reservoir five miles wide and ten miles long. It will be fed by waters from the Santa Cruz Rillito, Pantano Wash, Sonoyta, Canada del Gro and R"bles creeks and the Santa Rosa valley streams. A big ditch will lead from the Santa Cruz into which these various streams em oty to the reservoir. A report, which had been made to the parties interested in the big irriga- tion project is to the effect that thel e will be no difficulty in secur ing an ample supply of water.
 With a big system of canals. drain ing from the main reservoir, it is not anticipa ted that there will be any difficulty in supplying water for at least 30,000 acres of land. The irli- gation project, which is just being started, is the largest of it's kind tha t has been undertaken by private par ties in this section.-TucsOn Citizen.

"The Southern Pacific is willing to establish special rates for farm pro- ducts from Yuma to any market, !" was the declaration of Travelling Freight and Passenger Agent A. R. Cater to the Yuma Produce Grow ers' association, at a special meeting at Yuma one day last week.
 The meeting was held in response to a request from MT. Cater, to in- duce the melon growers to reconsider their determination to grow no melons next year, under prevailing rates. Mr Cater snode a strong talk. urging upon the consideration If the association the fact that the past year was no criterion of the market for melons. The flood at Kansas City congested an already poor market, and eastern conditions were disadvantageous for shippers, while an overproductlon of fruit de- prcciated prices.
 While the growers had complained of prohibitive rates, said MT. Cater, they never made any definite demand for decrease. The railroad did not consider the tariff exhorbitant; that melon shipments received special service, and the equipment was dead headed back, an expensive arrange ment for the railroad. He said the position of the company iI the mat ter, however, was not final, and sug- gested that the association send a written request, stating what they desired

The campaign for sugar beet grow ing is progressing, and it was learned at the office of the Southwestern Sugar and Land company that 4,OOO acres are now under contract or al- ready planted to that sacharine vege- table. At least another thousand acres are desired and still more if possible. The factory will require the product of 5000 acres to make the run it desires, but can handle a considerable surplus and would rather have more than less than the stipu- lated acreage.

 The complainant shipped one car of corrugated iron from Newport, Ky, to Globe, Arizona. The defendants rate appllca ble to this traffic exceeded the combination of locals by 10 cents per 100 pounds. Since the shipment in question the defendants have re duced the rate from Newport to Globe, so that it now equals the combination of locals. The commission held that the through rate at the time of ship ment was unjust and unreasonable to the extent that it exceeded the com bination of locals and reparation was awarded

$. p. Lines. Divided.

Effective last week, A. R. Oster be- came superintendent of the Southern Pdcinc lines south and east of Quay mas. Mr. Oster was formerly super intendent of all of the Southern Pa ciic lines in Mexico, but the work was too much for one man to handle and it was decided to make two divisions of the Mexican lines.
 One division extends north from Empalme to Nogales, Sonora, and in cludes the new line from Nogales to Cananea, and the road from Naco to Canauea. This division is in charge of Superintendent H. J. Temple.
 The second division includes all of the Southern Pacific lines south and east of Guaymas, taking in the new and Culiacan. This division at the present time has about 800 miles of track and it is being steadily added to. MT. Oster has been with the Southern Pacific company in Mexico for more than a year. He was form erly with the Fl Pas & Southwestern.

 Wm. r. Neel of the Four Bir ranch of the Sulphur Springs valley had purchased 5000 head of Greene cattle and the last of the cattle in this purchase were to be crossed. The cattle, nearly 900, were driven up to the line below Hereford and Neel and his cowboys were there 10 receive them and to begin the long drive to the Four Bar ranch. The custom fficers were on hand to count the stock for the custom duties, the government demands and pr. RigdOn and the Mexican veterinary were on the ground to inspect the cattle.
 Dr. Rigdon during his inspection of the big herd discovered Texas fever ticks in the ears ot some of the cattle. This discovery of the fever breeding pest put an end to the entry of the cattle into the United States and the herd was turned back from the line.
 The big Greene ranch is now under quarantine and no cattle from this ranch can be entered as long as there is any fever ticks to be found among them. It is understood that the ami mals on which the ticks were found were at once cut out and will be isolated.
 The whole line from east of Doug las to a point near Nogales is prac- tically under quarantine. Ihe big Cachuta ranch is quardntined and the Pesqueras who own it are installing dipping pens and are dipping their stock in the hope that they can get rid of the ticks. Other ranches near the C4chuta are under the ban and now that the Cauanea ranch has been found to have feYer infected cattle on the range very few cattle from So- nora will be passed across the line.

The school board have recently pur-
chased Crowell Laboratory for the
purpose of demonstrating the principles
of PHYSICS. This laboratory was inven-
ted by high school principal and is
very satisfactory. More than 500 ex-
perlments can be worke by means of
this apparatus.
The pictures purchased by the pro-
ceeds of the Art Exhibition have been
framed by F. J. Bagley and hung in the
school room. Contributions from the
children have mostly betrayed the cost
of framing.

views of the different rooms at the high

More than 800 packages of seeds have
been purchased by the pupils of the high

is hoped that these may be further de-
