RICH HIDDEN TREASURE
WAS FOUND AGAIN
Tucson Citizen

George F. Beyeridge, a well known
mining operator who was once iden-
titled prominently with mining in
Sonora, but of recent years has been
operating in Chihuahua and Sinaloa,
passed through the city yesterday en-
route to Culiacan.
In 1885 Mr. Beveridge was at
the Santa Rosalia, one of the famous
mines Of the antigua days in Sonora
that had been abandoned on account
of an attack of Apaches, who mas
sacred the population of the camp,
very few escaping. Believing the
tradition that the mine was In a rich
bonanza when abandoned, and that
there was a concealed tunnel that
would lead to the part of tAe antigua
workings where the rich ore was re-
ported to have been left, Mr.. Bever-
idge devoted himself to finding that
tunnel, in which effort he devoted
many days.
He was assisted by Antonio Acuna,
a man whose grandfather had worked
in the mine when a lad, escaping the
massacre, and had described the
ground and the tunnel. With the aid

Beveridge concluded to clear away for

the talus at tae foot of clifflike
declivity some distance away from the

The idea proved the right one, and
clearing the tslus uncovered the en-
trace to the tunnel with its door Of

grandfather of Acuna- Traversing
the tunnel a distance of several hun

Few mining men win deny that the

Dry. Operated legItimately, it may be
made great machine for concentrate
ing the capital Of many individuals
into a single fund to be used for the
purpose of extracting ores, metals,
or other mineral substances from
mother earth. Manipulated illegitf-
mately, 1t may be transformed into
machine for the separation of stock
ers and for its diversion to the pocket
of the unworthy.
Questionable promotions OF minor
mines may be for the present disre-
garded-the injury done the min ng
industry by these is Insignificant COM
pared with that inflicted by the ques-
tfonable manipulation Of the stocks OF
famous mines. This sort of stock
game, to be successful, requires two
things: first, a knowledge becoming
known to the stockholders, and, sec
ond. the interruptions use of that
knowledge without regard to the best
interests of the stockholders ana
usually to their disadvantage.
We pass over the contingency of
false rumor becoming current news,
as the detection OF suca rumor Is
one Of the surest things in mining.
The condemnation OF urine man
ayers whose Incidental work Is the
manipulation of the stock market has
already been thoroughly attended to
by other writers. Possibly they have
likewise attended to the cases OF
those mine managers whose main job
has been the stock manipulation IL

the worlds greatest gold and silver
mines.
To some readers. the plain state
ment of fact set forth by the writer
may seem unjust to certain indiyid-
uals whose unselfish efforts seem de-
serving Of better recognition than
given in this article. For instance,
Mr.. Leon NJ. Hall, consulting engin-
eer for many of the mines of the lode,
writes:
Il am not in sympathy with your
ideas relative to the broken manage
ment because you have looked upon
one side only and have not considered
the causes that led to the so-called
assumption OF control by Pine str ct.

BIG IMPROVEMENT
IN SIX MONTHS
Conditions in West
Please PeSident Sharp
After Inspection.

Boston-President w. G. Sharp of
t1re United States Smelling, Refining
& Mining Co. has returned 10 Boston
from a western trip of inspection of
the properties of the company. He
says:
I found mining conditions in the
West in sharp contrast to those which
prevailed six months ago. At fiat
time our snelteT and our Bingham
mines were shut down in Utah and
cur Mammoth property, as well as
our Mexican properties, was operated
upon very reduced scale.
Now we are again operating our
lead smeIter in Utah under authority
of the courts; our Mammoth smelter
has been enlarged and is prcduc ng
at the record rate of about 10000, 900
pounds per annum and our Pachuca
properties in Mexico are returning
large profits.
In Utah We are just starting in TO
mine from our Bingham lead claims,
title to which has been decided after
years of litigation Our lead smeIter
is running four, and sometimes five,
furnaces out of our battery of six,
and producing so to 20 tons OF lead
per day. In Utah we now have a pra-
tically smokeless smelter, SO much so
that people in passing trains often
tines report that the United States
smelter has shut down because they
cannot see smoke issuing from the
stack.
Il feel very optimistic as to tlre fu-
ture price of lead and copper. Proper
tionately, silver has shown less recov-
cry than either lead or copper, but
the demand for That metal should
materially improve under the stimulus
of a favorable election.
I have no fear that the production
Of copper will so exceed the consump-
ton as adversely to affect the price.
In fact, / believe that the demand for
copper viii fully take care Of any new
supplies which win come on the mar
ket and that tie new copper will be
needed. for the olders mines cannot
be expected to maintain their high
record production right along.
There has been little new construc-

more This is deferred bu mess. and

GOTHAM STOCK
EXCHANGE Is
PANIC MAKER
Buchanan, Old Broker and
Man Who Knows, Says We
Could Not Have a Panic
Without the Brokers.

A New York dispatch to the Chicago
Tribune says:
II there is one man in this city thor
oughly familiar with every twist ana
turn of Wall street and thoroughly
conversant with stock exchange meth
ods, that man is Edward +. Buchanan,
the organizer and manager OF the now
defunct firm of A. o. Brown & Co.
Just at present MI. Buchanan is
financially echpsed because The men
and banks he had relied upon failed
him in the execution OF the biggest
purely speculative commission house
coup ever attempted ON the stock ex-
change.
Mr.. Buchanan talked about the
stock exchange, considering the stock
exchange a gambling house. pure and
simple. He agrees tEaL IS just what
it is, and he ought TO know, for the
stock exchange has disciplined his
firm for gambling OF the floor. But
what Mr.. Buchanan ana his firm and
his brokers did to earn the stock ex-
change censure is done every day by
other firms and brokers OF greater
standing.

To this let us reply that our pur-

Is by no means to gain the opportunity
OF posing as a critic. The history OF
the Comstock, and OF all the individ-
uals entering into It. is too lengthy
to be here more than outlined ana
too complicated to interest the gen

sentials. If, in our brevity, Injustice
is done, we viii be glad to set 1t right
in our columns by publishing further
communications from our readers.
If. as Mr.. Hal suggests. the article
has historic value, does not that
value lie in the lessons which may be
learned from the past history OF the
Comstock?
Whatever may have been the Sc
quence of events, which primarily
justified, as Mr.. Hall says above, the
so-caIled assumption of control by
Pine street." what can justify either
the continued retention of tat con-
troll, or the former well known abuses
of power under 1t? Here. we imply
neither criticism OF individuals Nor
their acts, but ridcule of the whole

dictated the development policy ut

Hauniy we are now able to record a

We note progress toward the return

Aside from the moral lessons above

slower in combining their resources

interests was established they pro

HOW WE WASTE
TIMBER RESOURCES
Forest Service Bulletin.)


We are now cutting timber from
the forests of the United States at tae
rate of 500 feet board measure year
for every man, woman and child. In
Europe they use only 60 board feet"
Few statements could be made
which would better convince the aver
age man this country leads the world
in the demand for timber 1t is made
by Treadwel Cleveland, Jr., in a circu-
lar which treats of the conservation
of the forests, soil. water, and all the
other natural resources, which has
just been published by the United
States forest service. In speaking
further Of the consumption of timber
in tais country, Mr.. Cleveland says:
EAt this rate, In less than thirty
years all our remaining virgin timber
will be cut. Meantime, the forests
hich have been cut over are gensr
ally in a bad way for want of care;
they will produce only inferior second
growth. We are clearly over the verge
OF timber famine.
This is not due to necessity, Tor
the forests are one of the, rem ewable
resources. Rightly used, they go en-
producing crop after crop indefinitely.
The countries of Europe know this,
and Japan knows it; and their for
ests are becoming with time not less,
but more, productive. We probably
still possess sufficient forest land to
groy wood enought at home to supply
cur own needs. II we are not blind,
or willfuIly wasteful, we may yet pre-

with it the fourth of our great Indus
tries.
Present wastes in lumber produc-
ton are enormous. Take the case of
yellow pine, which now heads tae list
in the volume of annual cut In 1907
IL is estimated that only one-half of
all the yellow pine cut during the sea
son was used, and that the other half,
amounting to 100000 cords, was
wasted Such waste is typical. Mr..
X. A. Long in his address on Forest
Conservation" at the conference of
governors last spring. pointed out that
20 per cent of the yellow pine was
simply left In the woods-a waste
which represents tae timber growing
on 100000 acres.
The rest OF the waste takes place
at the mill. OF course. IT would never
do to speak of the material rejected
at the mill as waste unless this ma,
terial could be turned to use by some
letter and more thorough form Of
utilization. But in many cases We

medium through which alarms are

lamb herders working for the owners
of the stocks they sell.

about the properties they own or con-
troll to suit themselves. This informa-
ton is all which the lamb herders or
so-called commission brokers send out
to the lambs-I mean their customers.
Now these big men, the so-called in
siders, are the real owners Of the New

have any real cause for worry SC

they own the banks in which the in
