WORKING ON BIDS
FOR NEW SHELTER
Machinery Men in Douglas,
Representing Different Man.
ufacturers = Several Pro-
poSalS Will Be SUBMITTED. :

All doubt about the building or
smelling plant in Douglas by the
Shattuck-Arizona Mining company
may be regarded as past now, not
withstanding the uncertainty which
has surrounded the proposition dur
ing the past year since the matter
was first talked of. During the past
few weeks there have been in Doug
las a number OF representatives OF
the large machinery houses of the
country for the purpose of submitting
bids for the new plant, and it was
stated yesterday by a man who knew
about the situation that some or the
bids have already been handed in to
the Shattuck managers. Other bids
are known to be in course of prepare
ton and are expected to be received
in the very near future.
1t is the expectation now that the
bids will all be in before the first of
April and% that the contract will be
awarded early in May; possibly by
the first Of that month.
The Shattuck smelter viii be com-
pleted first with two 1S00-ton fur
naees, according to the plans which
we're made last year. If WORK is
started by the last of May or the first
of June its completion may be expect
ed about the first of next year, or at
least one furnace should be ready to
start by that time.
The building of this smelter In
Douglas will go long ways in
strengthening Douglas as a CONNER
cial point; it win bring many addi-
tional wage earners here. What
makes Douglas so desirable as 10
cation for reduction plants is the un.
limited quantity of superior water to
be found here. The water to be had
in this city is said to be the very
best for making steam, in that it has
no damaging effect on boilers. The
boilers of the c. and A. plant are
said to have remained free from scale
of any kind after years of service
with the water secured from the C
and A. wells at that plant.
The location for the ShattucB
smelter is about one quarter or q
mile south of the c. and A. and about
the same distance vest of the Cop
per Queen. Typographical surveys
have already been made of this ex
cellent site and it is ready FOR the
work of foundation building TO begin

RESUM|NG OF WORK
DEPENDS ON MARKET
TransvaaI Company Operating
Near Cumpas. viii Await
Better Copper Price.

After an extended trip through the
east, H. G. Beauchamp of the Trans
vaal Mining company is back In Doug
las once more. Mr.. Beauchamp ar
rived last Friday but was in the city
but few hours and went to Tucson
from whence he returned today.
He was seen by an International
American reporter today at he Gads-
den ad asked about the results of his
trip in the east and the plans of the
company in the immediate future.
Mr.. Beauchamp said:
my trip to the east was to New
York, Cincinnati and other centers
where most of our stockholders are
and was in every way satisfactory.
We have created maintenance and
development fund and are ready to
go on with production when the times
shall warrant. l shall leave for the
properties of the company near Cum
pas within the next day or two and
see how things are there after my
absence.
mo, we do not figure on any i'm
mediate resumption, either of deYel-
opment or production at the present
time; it may be thirty days, sixty
days, or even longer. We are in a
position to wait without injury TO our
property for you know our workings
are not Deep"
Asked about rumors OF a re-org-
anization of the company, Mr.. Beau
champ continued:
There is no truth in any such ru-
NOR and I cannot see how they could
have. started for there is not and has
not been any occasion for re-organiz-
ing. We shall maintain our plant and
equipment at the present, resume de-
yelopment later and proceed with pro-
duction as soon as prices warrant,
hut do not look for Is or 16-cent cop
per within the next sixty days. or
even longer.p
Speaking of the financial conGI-
tons, Mr.. Beauchamp said they are
much better here than in the east
and that WE hardly realized what the
east has been through. He said that
in Cincinnati at the present time a
majority of the. manufactures are
running only on one-third or one-half
time and with reduced forces then.

HOARD HAS PLENTY
| or PRISON PLANS
Number of Sets Submitted By
Different Firms, for Their
Consideration.

The territorial board of control
now has enough plans and estimates
on hand to build half dozen terri
torial prisons and none of them would
be a discredit to Arizona. All yester-
day afternoon was devoted 10 an m
spection of plans presented by six
different architects, and the auditors
Office now looks like an engineering
headquarters. 1t was not to be ex-
pected that any decision would be ar
rived at hastily and nobody has the
temerity yet to ask the members OF
the board what their impressions are.
Naturally there are good features
in all the plans and naturally there
are also some wide differences,
though In a general way they all con-
form, as they, had to, to the general
outline as set forth in the document
asking for the submission of plans.
That form called for an administra-
ton building at one side or the
grounds. a high tower in the center
of the prison buildings all radiating
| like the spokes of wheel from the
central tower But with this general
plan uniform, there is yet opportuni-
| ty for wide differences in copstruc-
| lion details, materials, minor facilities
and inside plans, particularly of the
| administration building.
The architects submitting plans
are F. G. Brown of Los Angeles,
frost and frost of Ell Paso and Phoe-
nix, Thornton Fitzhugh of Los An
| geles, F. Mel. Brinckerhoff OF Bis
bee, and P. H. Loss of Casa Grande.
The representative of each architect
was permitted to appear personally
and explain in a general way and
point out the features he desired 10,
that he believed especially recon-
mendei his set of plans. A descrip-
ton even in a general way would be
too long and detailed TO be interest
ing to the general reader, or even. to
make clear without the accompany
| ing drawings. wherefore none will be
attmepted at this time.

Late Strike Made in This Prop
erty Is Regarded As Be-
ing important.
WILL BEGIN SHIPMENTS SOON
Zinc Ore Found i'm the Camp for
First Time--How Val
ucs Run.

Special Correspondence.
Golofeld, April 1.-THE strike on the
Great Bend is regarded as the most
important that has been made In the
Goldheld district for many days. Taken
with the recent proving up OF the
Daisy property it is bound to attract
renewed attention to Diamnndfield sec
ton, in addition to contributing ma
terially toward disproving the half con-
cealed impression that the producing
area of this district is confined to the
Horseshoe. The strike was made on
the lease being worked by Lotus &
Davis, who are also the dominant fac
tors on the Great Bend corporation.
whose stock they control.
Lotus q Davis have been developing
the property for the last two years and
have expended in the neighborhood OF
$4,000 In their effort to prove that the
Great Bend was a mine. They have
not done much talking but a great
deal OF work, and even now they are
not inclined to crow much over the dis
covery that puts the Great Bend in the
bonanza class. But the facts speak
for themselves and cannot be denied.
On the 300 foot level a ledge from one
to two feet wide has been opened up
values all the way from $40 to $4,000
and will easily break from $3.50 to 5000
ton for its entire length. breadth
ond heighth. A winze has been sunk
on tho ore body for 80 feet and drift
on the vein is now being run on the $50
foot level The ore is enclosed in Il
flssure in the big dyke, coursing east
and west. with rake to the west and
the assay Sheets covering the entire
period from the time the discovery was
made until the present. show values
ranging all the way from 1888 ounces to
49,72 ounces in gold to the ton, from
samples taken from the face, the muck
pile and out of the ore cars.
The ore differs In many respects from
any heretofore found in the Goldfeld
district, containing bases that are not
found elsewhere, not even in its near
neighbor, the Daisy. The quartz car
ries free gold. silver tetrahedrite and
n large amount of zinc and lead in the
form of black jack" This is the
first time zinc has made its appear
ance in this district.
Stopping and shipping win begin at
once and Manager James r Davis
says that shipments will be made regu-
larly. The company will also sink a
compartment shaft TO a depth of 500
feet, for as Mr.. Davis says, "The Great
Bend is now proven mine"

BREEDEN ON SALT LANDS
Attorney General Tells How Placer
Locators Are Working to Sc
cure Valuable Proposition.

Attorney General Breeder says rel
alive to the attempt on the part of
locators to get possession of about 49,
GOO acres of salt lands in. Tooele coun-
ty. by filing placer claims, that in his
opinion, il is clearly based on miscon-
structiCn of the reading of the anabl-
ing act of the state. The act specifies
certain 100000 acres, Including all
saline lands" as set aside for and be-
longing TO the University of Utah. The
placer locators set up the claim that
''including' meant the lands within
the loo, 600 acres specified, and had
nothing TO do with the great saline
land area in northwestern Utah.
Attorney General Breeder says he
dropped onto their game seven months
ago, when he notified McGuinness
their counsel, that the lands belonged
to the university, and Immediately APP
piled for an injunction from the court,
restraining the land jumpers from talk
ing possession. Judge Armstrong
granted the request. and denied
demurrer of the defendants setting
forth their allegations. The latter
therenpon carried the matter to Con-
Eress, where they are working through
Senator Sutherland TO pass bill sus-
tanning their Interpretation of the
wording Of the section in the enabling
act. Judge Breeder was told by Judge
Armstrong thar while the matter was
PENDING in Congress. he could not
give Judgment. So the question rests
for the present. As IL is very doubt
ful whether under the pressure OF
business Congress will act on the pro-
posed legislation at this session, Judge
Armstrong will probably act after
Congress has adjourned. Judge
Breeden says the valuation OF The salt
lands In question is not over 81 .000,-
600 at the farthest, instead of $780,
100000, AS certain Washington cor
respondents put the figures. But at
the same time. he says. the publlca-
ton of these figures may cause con-
eressmen to believe they are correct
and be the means OF the governments
refusing to let the lands go to anyone,
hut be preserved for the government
~ accordance with the policy OF Pres
ident Roosevelt to conserve for the
people great national resources.

Under New Arrangement Danger
OF Labor Trouble for the
Time Being Removed.
AGREEMENT NOW IN EFFECT.
Hereafter Miners VIII Receive Same
Pay as the Employees of
Tonopah Mines.

An amicable agreement has been ar
rived at between the mine owners
and miners in the Seven Troughs,
which removes any immediate danger
of lnbof troubles in that district. The
agreement calls for Il reduction OF
from so to rs cents per day. which, in
effect, is the adoption or the Tonopah
scale.
"The agreement" says the Seven
Troughs Miner, provides for the fol-
lowing graduated scale of wages:
Muckers and top men, 81 miners,
drifting and crosscutting. S4.25: min
ers, sinking ana raising. $3.50: miners,
wet shaft work, IS omen to furnish
their own rubber clothes and boots; }
engineers and timbermen, S5. The
agreement went into effect last Mon
day.
The ACCESSIBILITY of abolishing the
nat wage scale and putting into effect
Il gradual rate of pay. which would
call for reduction of from so to rs
cents per day, was thoroughly consid-
cred at several of the recent meetings
OF the Miners union. The miners
took into consideration the depress-
ing effect OF the recent financial panic
on all lines of business, and conctul-
ed that with a deduction in their
wage scale, many operators, especially
those having individual enterprises
would be enabled to increase their
working forces. The miners arc de-
serving of praise for the broad minded
manner in which they look upon the
situation, and in voluntarily REDUCING
their Pay they extended helping
