earthed from the books of the Water
department, according to a statement
given out by superintendent McCort
of the water department.
From "A false registration of water

losses from false frontage rates and
from direct thefts of material bring

In addition to these revelations,
superintendent McCort declared that
he had now in his possession charges

eight meter settlers for tampering
with water meters. In all fifteen
meter settlers are Involved, and it is
expected that the ultimate investiga-
ton will result in their dismissal. The
civil service commission will sit next
Monday for the purpose Of taking up

ed a railroad commission, passed rec
iprocal demurrage, car stake and 9TH

During this time the lumbermen
were trying to force Hill to greatly
extend the territory covered by the
accent rate on fir lumber. Hill re-
fused. His operating expenses in
creased. suddenly last fall he an
nounced that beginning Nov /, lum-
ber rates would be increased 25 per
cent on fir and nearly as much on
cedar, lumber and shingles, and dur
ing the December hearing before the
Interstate Commerce commission at
Washington Hill shook his fist In the
face OF the Washington lumbermen
and' declared he would drive many Of
them into bankruptcy. This will hap
pen in the event that Hilrs rates are
sustained
a majority Of the 400 lumber mills
dependent upon rail shipments will
then have to rebuild and remodel for
cutting only j savy rimhcrs, leaving
common lumber shipments to the
southern states. on November 1st the
lumbermen secured an Injunction in
the federal court against the enforce
ment Of the new rates and gave a
S250,000 bond to the railroads for the
payment of the difference If Hill's
rates are upheld. This bond has been
exhausted. The lumbermen refuse to
increase the bond and lumber ship
ments have practically ceased.
To cap the climax, loggers have
absolutely failed to get any rate con-
cessions or the establishment of the
joint rates which they expected. In
stead. the railroads tell the loggers
and the state railroad commissioners

Washington, April S.--The bureau
of plant industry. one of the sub

of introducing Egyptian cotton into
the United States, after years of ex-
periments, which until recently all
turned out failures. AS result of
this announcement, made today. ef-
forts will be made to conduct the cul-

scale
Many million dollars worth of
Egyptian cotton is imported into the
United States annually and at great
cost, on account of the freight and
the duty. This makes it too expen-
sive for general use and for years the
department of agriculture has been
experimenting in different sections of
the United States in an effort to find
conditions in this country under
which this product could be success
fully cultivated.
In New Mexico and Arizona.

 It is doubtful whether there exists a mining center which has been more talked about or more written about than Cananea, where not all, but the bulk, of the interests are controlled by the Greene-Cananea Copper company. Certain it is that there is no one cen ter more worthy of all that has been and all that is said about it than this Mexican camp, situate in northern So nora and connected with the states by a branch of the C. R. Y. & P. rail road, which, at. Naco meets the D. P. and s. w. railroad.
 The early history of the great Mex :can copper camp is largely synoni- nous with the name W. c. Greene. for Cananea Is what he made it. It is but little more than twenty years ago that W. c. Greene, then prom inent cattleman in southern Arizona, became attracted to northern Sonora, by the stories of mineral wealth which he heard, and commenced to invest his capital in the development of Sonora mines. Conditions were diff ferent then from now and, as a result, progress was necessarily very slow and the interesting of other capital was extremely difficult, but Colonel Greene never lost faith and worked tirelessly with one end in view. In the early days lead and silver had been mined with more or less success but had ever needed successful gen eral at the head, such a man as at this iuncture had appeared, though it was not these metals but gold and copper that he sought Capital came to the company through the direct and convincing talk of Col. Greene and was largely the savings of the la borer, mechanic and business men of the middle classes, came in small amounts but came sufficiently to en- able the pushing on of the work. Mines were developed and a smelter built, the output being carried on bur TO back or by wagons north, and into the states.
 The original mine was the Cobre Grande, which had been worked for many years by the Pesquira family

HISTORY OF THE
 CANAN6A CAMP

but this mine is today of only second ary importance to other holdings of the company. Other mines were de veloped and additions and improve ments made as needed to the reduc- tion plant until Cananea and its re sources came into prominence, and, in 1899, Colonel Greene succeeded iu interesting eastern capital and pro ceeded to combine various interests and formed the Greene Consolidated Copper company which was incorpo- rated under the laws of the state of Virginia in September of that year. For a time there was considerable litigation, Colonel Greene's ownership or title to some of the holdings of the company having been questioned or disputed, but at length these matters were all amicably settled and the company proceeded to prosper and commenced to pay dividends. In 1901 a 4 per cent dividend was declared, in 1902 the dividend was passed, the earnings going into betterments in entirety, in 1903 the pigment was 6 per cent, and therafter the devidends were at the rate of 13 per cent per annum until in December, 1906, this company, together with the Cananea
 Central Copper company and other properties were consolidated into the Greene-Cananea Copper company with a capitalization of $60. 100000.
 Of the s6O,0OO,OOO capital stock at the par value of s2O per share, sS.- GOO 900 was put in the treasury for the purposes of improving the plant as to mines, concentrator and smelter and the adding to the railroad track age which already exceeds thirty-fiye miles. The additions planned to the smelter will give an added monthly capacity of 10000, 900 pounds and al ready good progress has been made in the improvements by the management which shows splendid business capaci- ty. In the mines, the grade of ore Is showing steady improvement and is now of better quality than ever be fore. important developments having been made as deep as the 10O0-foot level.
