TO DECIDE FUTURE
RECLAMATION WORK

TACOMA, Nov. 14-If the case now
being tried in the federal court at
san Francisco of Chris Hanson a set
tier OF Lake Kechelus, against the
government is decided in favor of the
plaintiff, all reclamation work through
out the country may be stopped. Han
son contends the reclamation act is
unconstitutional upon various technical
grounds, chief among them being that
the work done by the reclamatio serv-
Ice is not a federal but a state func-
tiOn and consequently the constitution
is violated when the federal govern
ment is permitted to conduct irriga-
tiOn work within the states.
Reclamation officials believe the act
IS constitutional and expect a verdict
in their favor. Hanson had occupied
his land previous to the withdrawal of
public lands about Lake Kechelus for
the establishment of a great reservoir
to impound the water for the entire
Yakima valley The land was unsur-
veyed and consequently no entry had
been made in the general land office
According to the previous decisions of
the land Office in similar cases, a set
tier was offered full value of his i'm
provements. This he refused and de-
manded fun value for land and timber.
The chief value Of the land is its tim
Der. A settler bases his claim upon
the assumption that he owned an
equivalent Of fee simple title This
claim could not be recognized, because
the land office and the United States
supreme court have decided that a set
tier on unsurveyed land acquires no
rights as against the United States.
The suit was brought in the United
States district court and a decision
rendered against the claims of the
United States. Reclamation officials
Immediately took the case 10 the cir
cult court of appeals and are anx-
iously awaiting the news of the de-
cision from San Francisco.

RECEIVERS RICH ORE
FROM HIGH GRADERS

DENVER, Nov. 14.-By a decision
just rendered by Judge Robert E.
Lewis in the federal court. the Gold
field Mohawk mining company RECEIVERS
about $4,000, the value of gold ore
said to have been stolen from Its mines
in Goldfield and vicinity by high grad
ers.
The decision was the final adjudiea-
tion of the suit of the mining company
against the Wells, Fargo express COM
pany. by which the ore was shipped
from station near Goldfield to
Pueblo and there replevined by a
United States marshal on behalf of the
mining COMPANY.

These baskets, while not absolute
novelties, are among the most charm
ing features of the fall jewelry. One
sees them as brooches, wrought in a
dull greenish gold, filled with pearls
and diamonds to represent fruit, and
as charms in miniature style, holding
precious stones
One of the most noticeable features
of the present moment is the preva-
lence of the ball of pearls or dla-
monds that hang from slender meek
chain. These balls are so thickly
clustered with gems that the setting
is almost invisible. As pendants they
are beautiful, and make pleasing
change from the stereotyped designs
Some times they are as big as hazelnuts,
but their sizes vary considerably.

DOUGLAS SHELTERS,

There has been nothing of special
importance to report from the smelt.
ers at Douglas during the past week
further than constant operation. At
the two smslters it is estimated hIat
as many men are employed as ever
before. The number of furnaces in
commission is thirteen-eight at the
Copper Queen and five at the C. & A
Besides these blast furnaces the Cop
per Queen has one reYerberatory
furnace in operation which is hand.
ling the Stag drawn from the convert
ers and also the flue dust and what
is known as dust ores. At the lime
quarry of the Copper Queen a very
complete and efficient crushing plant
has been installed and is now in OPP
Grafton. Lime rock bins have also
been constructed at the Queen smelt
er. This has greatly facilitated the
preparation of the mixing Of the
charges for the furnaces. The old
plan was to bring the lime from tia
quarry and unload on the top of filled
ore pits where it was evenly spread
and broken by Mexicans and after
this the lime rock was picked up with
the ore by the steam shovels and
dumped into the cars which carried Il
to the furnece. Now the furnace
feeding cars are first loaded with ore
at the pits and then taken under the
coke and lime rock bins where the
required amount of coke and lime is
added TO the charge before it goes
on to the furnace. An additional ore

preparation for greater operation in
the future. In the eight furnaces a,

The shortage in production at the

sence OF the custom ores which
were coming from Imperial, the Shat
tuck and a great many other smaller
properties year ago when the plant
was being operated to the extreme
maximum of its capacity. II is .sx
pected that when the new coacentra:
ing mill now being constructed at
Nacezari is completed the Copper
Queen smelter will then be taxed to
its full capacity
At the Calumet smelter the work
of construction on Improvements and

and investment basis.
These three mines differ radically

their commercial value to ages of cor

| Roughly speaking, these wonderful

| They lie only so to $50 feet below the
surface, and vary in thickness from
200 to 400 feet. The ore deposits ART

as concentrate and smelted
On a 14-cent copper market the
gross value of the greater portion of

ton. Mining and concentrating costs
will be exceedingly low, however.
One OF the companies, now operating,

at gross cost of little more TIM 81
per ton of ore. 1t is probable that the
cost of treating the ore, which has a
vaue of $3.50, will be well under $500
a ton. Therefore. these companies
will produce their copper and put it
on the market at a cost of abaut 8
cents pound, which compares with
an average cost of IL cents in the
Lake Superior district, 10 1-2 cents al
Butte 8 IL cents at Bisbee, IL cents
at Globe, Clifton and Morenci, Arizo
ma, and about 10 cents at Cananea
Mexico.
! At the present time one of these
! companies is producing more than
100000 pounds OF copper montnly
By July l it is expected that all thret
will be producing and that they will
send 50,O00,0OO pounds of copper rc
market during the last half of 1908
In 1909 they should produce at Least
110,000,000 pounds of "copper" or hall
as much as the entire Lake superior
district, and equal to about 35 pei
cent of the Butte district, which leads
all others in volume of production
; Only a few mines in the world make
copper at lower cost than 8 cents ;

The capital stock of these com
panies have a present gross market
value OF $40,O0O,00O. This means a
capitalization of only 81 cents a pound
for the copper they should produce
next year. With their ability to pui
out copper at a cost of 8 cents, they
will earn more than II percent on
the present prices of their stocks or
a IA cent metal market, This means
that these coppers are exceedingly
cheap now, and that those who buy
and hold them will share in tire ~cry
considerable appreciation in price
which is practically sureto take place
during the coming year or two.

Pinal county, with James Crowley,
LEFT Wednesday morning with Mr..
Crowley on another trip of inspec-
tion in that section, where both are
interested in claims in the vicinity OF
the old Chamberlin property, which
is now in control of the House
company.
Speaking of the Chamberlin proper
ty, Mr.. Wiiding said it was situated
in the best copper section in the ter
ritory, which win prove to be as rich
as the Cananea and jerome, following
thorough development He said the
ChamberIin and adjoining properties
would show values as high as TWEEN
ty five per cent from the grass roots,
according to estimates made.
During the former visit of Wilding
and Crowley they called at the Brow
nell camp, the claims there sold by
James Brownell two years ago to
which they forfeited by reason of
failure TO make payments, as also to
incidental litigation The Pennsylva-
mans installed a complete plant at
Brownell, to include a 15O-ton smelter.
This property has not been worked
since the forfeiture and Brownell is
now awaiting a purchaser, being UNI
able because of lack Of funds, to OPP
crate the plant for himself.
Wilding said that the valley below
casa Grande was in fine condition
for grazing, but in the stretch of

drove. but few cattle were to be seen

There has been little of interest at

Up to the present time work on the
