TAH COPPER PLANS
RAILROAD EXTENSION
Bingham Will Be the Scene OF
Another Liberal Cash
Expenditure.

The next important move to be un-
dertaken by the Utah Copper company
will be the building of its own stand
ard-gauge railroad between its mines
and mills at Garfield, distance of nine
teen miles, 1t will cost 100000 to
build this road, including the necessary
equipment. 1t IS too early to definitely
determine whether the management will
attempt to build this road out of sur
plus earnings or will issue bonds. TO
cover its cost. II bonds are issued, they
will not be convertible into stock.
When dividends were commenced last
month at the rate of 60 per share per
annum. il was stated by President Mac
Neill that the company could continue
such payments on 13-cent copper and
charges out of earnings. The, com
pany is now earning about twice Its
dividend requirements. Every l.ceDt
advance in the price of. copper adds
about - cents per share to the divisible
earnings,
1t is very necessary that the company
insure itself against interruntiops 10
production, and it cannot always rely
upon the Rio Grnnde Western. II is
not the policy of the Utah Copper man
agement to wait until the Rio Grando
Western has failed in its ability to han
die the enormous tonnage OF ore which
must be shipped every day from Eiug
ham TO Garfield, before seeking n rem
edy. After the building of this rail.
road, the Utah Copper company will
consider the enlargement of its mill TO
handle 1880 tons Of ore per day, az
against 1000 tons daily at the present
time.
II is of interest in connection with
the above, which is from the Boston
News Bureau. TO state that General
MANAGER D. c.. Jackling, who returned
Saturday from a visit TO the south,
stated 10 Tho Tribune that some steps
would. IN all probability, be taken soon
to improve the transportation facilities
at Bingham, but he was not then pre-
pared to say whether or not actual rail
road construction would be undertaken

Boston, July captain Henry w.
Pitman, agde 81, whose arrest on
charge of sending objectional let
tiers through the mails to 14-year-old
Chelsea girl caused CONSERVATION in
Boston military and fraternal circles,
will be given a hearing today before
United States Commissioner Hayes.
Captain Pitman is a resident of the
suburb of Somerville. He is a leader
in several fraternal and military bod
les, prominent in politics and a social
leader. For many years he was con-
nected with the editorial staff of a
local paper and has been mentioned
as possible candidate for lieutenant
governor.
Captain Pitman was arrested at the
instance of Chelsea man, who alleges
that he wrote obscene and objection

When arraigned before United State

national only as it related to the north
ern states. The eleven southern states
then in the Confederacy, of course,
were not represented. General George
B. Mcclellan was named for the pres
idency on the first ballot and George
II. Pendleton of Ohio for the vice
presidency on the second ballot. The
platform pronounced the war failure.
The only time the city of New York
ever entertained the national conven-
ton was in 1868, when the body met
there on the Fourth Of July and nom
mated for president Hoyatio Seymour,
governor OF New York, and for svice
president Frank P. Blair of Missouri.
In 1872 the Democracy as then con-
stituted returned to the first love of
the party, Baltimore, meeting in con-
vention July o. and nominated for the
first and second Offices in the land two
Republicans, Horace Greeley of New
York and B. Gratz Brown of Missouri.
This anomalous situation was brought
about by a prior convention of Lib
eral Republicans at Cincinnati. led by
Carl Schurz, which nominated Greeley
and Brown. The only hope Of defeat
ing President Grant for reelection was
in combination of the Democrats and
the Liberal Republicans, who had de-
clared violently against the Grant adj
ministration. The Baltimore conven-
ton simply swallowed the Cincinnati
convention product-ticket, platform
and all. Greeley and Brown were de.
feated overwhelmingly in November.
