and the strip million years" Bearing this in mind
we appreciate the following calculations
ing the great length of the geological periods
Mr. Wallaces estimate of the total length Of geological
time and they will sufficiently long for all neces
sary purposes.
Dana estimates the ratio for the Paleozoc, Meso
zoc and Cenozoc periods to be IL: s. IL that is, Ceno
zoc times the time since the beginning of the tar-
tiary period is one-sixeenth Of the whole about
100000 years; Mesozoc time (the age Of the prev
aIence of reptes) would be about threesxteenths of
the time 100000 years. while Palaeozoic time
would be about threefourths Of the time that is about
200O0000 years.
If, however, should be compelled to accept the
calculations of Prof Newcomb, these would have to
be reduced than one-half.
But the accommodating facts concerning the rapidity
of the action of present geological forces to be
pointing toward these lower estimates and to make it
entirely credible that the earth has not been suitable
for the existence of for very many thousand

The Pure Food Law

Secretary Wilson says: "One of the
objects of the law is to inform the
consumer of the presence of certain
harmful drugs in medicines" The
law requires that the amount of
chlorofOrm, opium, morphine, and
other habit forming drugs be stated
on the label of each bottle. The
manufacturers of Chamberlain
Cough Remedy have always claimed
that their remedy did not contain
any of these drugs, and the truth of
this claim is now fully proven, as no
mention of them is made on the label.
This remedy is not only one of the
safest, but one of the best in use for
coughs'and colds. Its value has been
proven beyond question during the
many years it has been in general
use. For sale by all druggists.

Copper Belle Must Pay Quarter MiIIior

At Tucson Judgment for S272, 229
was given in the district court
against the Copper Belle Mining
company, which owns large proper
ties at Gleason and the plaintiffs in
the action are: William A. Paine,
Herbert D. Foster, Thomas S. Dee
and Leonard D. Draper, who consti-
tute Paine, Webher & Co., corpora
ton which. has its headquarters in
Boston.
The corporation brought suit
against the mining company to COM
pei the payment of note which it
held against it. The note was one
which had been given to New York
financial house as security for the
money advanced to the mining COM
pany.
Stay of execution on the judgment
was granted for thirty days and it is
altogether probable that minority
stockholders will file a motion in
court to have the big judgment set
aside.
The Copper Belle Mining company
has had a strenuous career and has
been involved in a number of law
suits. The mines of the company at
Gleason have yielded big returns
from the ore taken out in the past.

Greene ananea Will not Resume Until
Copper is 10 Cents.

Until the price of copper reaches
little probability of the Greene-Can-
auea property resuming operations,
says the Boston News Bureau. 1t has
been demonstrated that with the
present smelling plant even though
reconstructed, Greene-Cananea can
not now mine its low grade ore, and
80 per cent. of it is low grade, con-
centrate it and convert it into blister
copper upon which the latter COM
pany has to pay a bullion tax to the
Mexican government) for less than
l3l cents per pound. Then the COM
pany has to pay an additional II
cents for freight, refining and selling.
1t was in recognition of this fact,
and also of the fact that a Decent
copper market was not to be expected
for some months, that the Greene
management shut down its plant and
discharged all of it's men, a very
radical step considering the difficulty
of again assembling a force.
When the Greene-Cananea COM
pany was formed, it was provided
with SO, OO0,000 cash. Some of the
money was used to pay off old debts,
some for the purchase of supplies, of
which the company has on hand
about s., 100000 worth, and 100000
was provided for the building of a
new smelling plant, plans for which
are understood to have been pre-
pared. Why the company has not
taken advantage of the past SIX
months to start the erection of its
new plant is question which stock
holders would like to have answered.
The Greene company will never be
low cost producer. With a new
smelter, however, and with the high
grade upper level ores from the Can
anea Central and the Cauanea
Duluth properties, now part of the
Greene-Cananea company, it should
be able to produce its copper in the
neighborhood of II cents per pound.
Low grade ores in the southwest
which are not self-fuxing and carry
no gold and silver values of any mo-
ment, are not productive of very
substantial earnings for a company
which has capital stock of $500, 600
shares, Notwithstanding the great
extent of the ore bodies.
The Cole-Ryan interests are not
very happy in their ownership of
Greene, Cananea for since they pur-
chased control and gave Colonel
Greene $40 per share for his entire
holdings they have learned good
many things about the property of
which they were ignorant when they
first bought in.
They would probably never have
gone into Cananea had there not
been desire upon the part of the
people "higher up" to retire Colonel
Greene from the copper mining and
smelling field and retain the sale by
the United Metals Selling company
of an annual product of $4,000, OOC
pounds of copper. The courts may
Greene copper output when the com.
pany has more to sell, for the Ameri-
can Metal company, interests, who
hold a five-year contract with the
company will take the, matter to the
courts. Since the change in owner
ship the United Metals Selling COM
pany has refused to turn the sale of
the copper over to the American
company.----BostOn News Bureau.

Judging from the action taken by
a number of the stockholders of the
Arizona Mining and Trading COM
pany, owning mineral property a
short distance below Nacozari, in the
state of Sonora, Mexico, it is proba-
BILE that a fight will be made to set
aside an agreement made between
the majority holders and c.. B Bell
and F. F. Douglas, whereby the latter
are given lease on the ground. The
Arizona Mining & Trading company
was organized about two years ago
and since that time a great amount
of stock has been disposed of in this
city at various prices. The prinCi pal
holding is silver and copper prop
erty located a few miles below Naco-
zari, which has been operated until
the last few weeks. G. A. Overlook,
of Douglas, is president of the COM
pauy, and. with several others con-
trOiled majority of the stock. Dur
ing the past few days Overlook and
his associates bonded the property to
G. B. Bell and F. F. Douglas for $780,
900, the same being effective until
April l. II is understood that Bell
and Douglas intend to commence
shipments of ore to the smelter in
Douglas at once. The minority stock
holders are Indignant because of the
term of the deal, as the lessees are
not required to pay any money at
the present time, and because they
consider the amount entirely mad
equate for the property. 1t has been
decided to hold mass meeting and
decide on some definite plan of
action. american.
