tween them down under the earth.
Padre GalIego was defeated and driv-
en- out, the Patrona's mine workings
were covered up and its location for
gotten. The priest retired to cave
high up in the cliffs in which there
was a spring and lived hermit's life
near Urique. The cave Is known TO
this day as the "Cueva del Padre
Gallego," and there is wall yet at
the opening showing that it has been
inhabited in the past.
Tradition today says that Padre Cal
legcs. from this cave secretly and with
the aid of his faithful Tarahumare In
dian followers crossed over the Gordon
into the upper part of Uurique dis
trict and near Mescalera secretly
worked a rich silver mine, out Of
which the white metal was cut with
axes. Some people in Cirque have
seen the ore, which was shown them
by the Indians.
The proof of the Battle of the
Priests" in the Patrona was made by
Jos Maria Becerra. The forces Of the
rivals must have fought viciously, for
Sr. Becs7ra found there in the midst
OF bonanza ere running from II to
IS per cent in silver, a number of skei-
etons in old Spanish armor, and wea-
pons lying about. Evidently after the
battle no one re-entered the mine, for
the bonanza left is ample proof
Jose Maria Becerra was for long
years the king of Urique and the SUI
rounding country. He was to Urique
what the late Governor Shepherd was
to Batopilas. Sr. Becerra came to Uri
que comparatively poor man who
had ben mining near Guazapares. but
he had been educated for an engineer
and he grasped the possibilities in
mining. With his terrible energy Oh
whica stories are told to this day. he
had Cirque in few years producing
81, 900 worth of silver per month, and
pay roll of $4,000 daily to the peo-
pie He worked numerous mines il
Unique, Batopalis, Zapuri, Chinipas
and other places. He was his own en-
gineer and his tunnel and ether works
on the Rosario and various Other
mines are models to this day, it IL
said. At the time of mis- death he Is
said to have had on deal for the
sale of the great Cerro Colorado gclC
mines near Batopilas, for $4,000, 00'
gold. With his death some years agC
all his big mining operations ceased a
once and Urique has languished eve
since. only awaiting the advent o
American capital and enterprise, tina
is just now beginning.

LEAcHINe COPPER ORES.

Copper is one of the most leachable
materials known in nature-in fact.
the usual outcFop OF copper deposit
Is a leaehed-out gossan in which little
or no copper appears at all. This
leached material usually continues
downward 200 or 300 feet and at
times as deep as 500 feet. There are,
of course, localities, such as the
northwest coast of North America.
where conditions of glaciation and
weather are such that little or no
teaching is in evidence; but, as a
rule. a copper deposit is found in a
partially leached condition.
Silver and gold are very mucn less
easily leachsd by natural agencies,
and vet there are several very sue
csssful metallurgical processes for
teaching gold and silver ores, while
there have been very few successful
copper teaching plants. We recall
several. Including that at Clifton, Ariz.
which employs an acid process and
scrap-iron precipitatiye. and the Rio
Tinto works 10 Spain, which initiate
the natural agencies. At Rio Tinto
large patios or yards are prepared in
a locality where the soil is dense
clay. The clay is moistened and
kDeaded until it is practically water
proof. In these years there are built
great piles of the ore. which piles
are then allowed to leach by the
combined influence Of water, air and
sunshine. The natural operations are
FASTENED by artificial wetting Of the
piles Of ore. The solvent is precipi.
tated very largely with iron scrap.
The teaching plant at the Snow
storm Copper mine. Mullan, Idaho,
was reported in profitable operation

last year, but, as no extended run
was made, it cannot be termed pro
nounced success. Smaller sulphuric
acid-scrap-iron precipitation plants
have been operated in New Mexico
and western Colorado--but in these
cases only the most thoroughly oxid-
lied ore was handled
Butte, considerable copper is re-
covered at the teaching plants (scrap'

mine and tailings seepage waters.
1t seems strange that satisfactory
experimenting process for sulphide
ores, partially and fully oxidized ores
cannot be developed. With material
which is so easily dissolved In so
many different ways. 1t would seem
the simplest thing In the world to dis
solve the copper In an ore and then
precipitats it electrolytically and get
elecrolytic copper directly. We have
heard of several such processes, and
we have had occasion to test two OF
them, but these two were not at all

Railroad Rates.

1t seems to be accepted as a fact that the rail
roads in the country IN I'd to put into effect a
general increase of RAJ and that President Roose-
welt and the interstate commerce commission have
agreed to it. 1t IS charged that the consent of
the president to this procedure given with a
view to securing the support of large business in
terests for Mr.. Taft.
Senator Cu1berson of Texas called the attention
of the senate to this NATTER and claimed that these
advances would be in violation of the Sherman law.
A great number of shippers and some large manu-
featuring associations throughout the country have
protested against the advance. Senator Culberson
in addressing the senate the subject stated that
there has been denial of the alleged plan either
from the White House. the commission
Some of the defenders of the president aege that
he had agreed to the increase in rates offset
to his action in blocking general reduction in the
wages of railroad employees. The railroad rate
law gives the interstate commerce commission the
power to fix rates; and in every instance it is alleged
since that law was passed and where change of
rates have been made, the commission has raised
the rates, and not lowered them.
The law provides, as we understand it, that the
commission change rates only complaint,
either by the railroads shippers, and then only
after hearing. The charge is made that rates have
been raised and that general increase in rates is
by the interstate commerce commits
sion, in the absence of complaint and without hear
ing 1t certainly is to be hoped that the railroad
rate legislation is not to be juggled with for politi
cal considerations

evidences of this. A few years ago, the Chinese

By system of official graft, the Chinese people

opposed to war, and to war1ike preparations There

Mr.. Wallis of Salt Lake City testified before
the Smoot committee at Washington on behalf of
the protestants of Salt Lake City. Among other
things, Mr.. Wallis (who was formerly Mormon)
testified to the disloyaty of the church, as shown
by the Endowment House oath,' which he quoted
DR.. Paden, a Presbyterian minister of character
purity and patriotism, was one of the eighteen
protestants against Smoot.
Smoots organ in Salt Lake, The Republican, has
published scurrilous article charging that Dr. Paden
obtained the services of Wallis as a Witness under
promise to take of his wants and provide for
him. The story is typical Mormon falsehood
such as they pleased to circulate punishment
on those who refuse to be coerced by them.
Dr. Paden is lofty noble, manly man and the
gnoble effort of the Republican, doing service for
the Mormons, to besmirch his character, will fall
far short of its mark
