GREENE PROPERTY NOTES.
Douglas Dispatch.)

Douglas Dispatch.)
 The outstanding shares of the Greene Consolidated Copper company have been reduced from 77,000-the number at the annual meeting in Oc- tober-to 75,O0O shares.
 The high cost of production at the Greene property last year. reaching IS cents at one time, were due to the fact hat the new management charged into the cost of producing copper all the extraordinary development work as well as new construction yet at the time of the shut down costs had been lowered to approximately IS cents.
 The system of mining which was in vogue when Messrs. Cole and Ryan obtained the Greene property has been changed to the caving system and al reduction in mining costs from S4 per ton to $2 has resulted. When opera tions are resumed, possibly by April l, a material lowering of smelting costs will also have been made.
 In changing the mining system, iti was necessary to work up large amounts of low grade ores, but the copper market was high at the time and it was aproftable operation. The sudden collapse in the metal unfortu- nately came at a time when consider able of this low grade ore was being treated
 When operations are resumed they will be on high grade ore, which can be made to show slight profit on IA cent copper.
 The re-transfer of the Sierra Madre Lumber company property back to Col onel Green ehas already enriched the Greene Copper company by s1,150,000 actual cash. and whereas there was but 51 per cent of the Sierra Madre stock before in the Green treasury. there is now 75 per cent. under the terms of the sale until full paymen is made.
 H. R. Nickerson, president of the Sierra Madre railroad, came up to El Paso Saturday afternoon from Chihua- hua and left Sunday night on spe- cial for Madeira to consult with Col. Greene, and is at present making a thorough inspection of the mines at Concheno in company with Superin- tendent Kirk of the Greene cananea property.
 Judge Baldwin of New York, vice president of the Sierra Madre Land & Lumber company. who arrived with President Nickerson yesterday, con firmed the story that Col. Greene with in the last ten days had bought out the manufacturing plant of the Ma uonal Mill & Lumber company of Chi huahua and that the saws and othel

The red Indian In this country Is us

On the other hand. several important
races are swiftly passing out Of ex-

that another century will see the last

AS far as religious feelings 90 the
Australian black employs devil wor-

Thus they stay in each bush camp

for each dead native in order to fool

middle grave upon a thick bed of
leaves and the knees are tied up
against the breast with lashinss Of
tree boughs and the arms are crossed
over the breast.
The head is turned toward the east

ed to the commission.
Mr.. Bartine demanded a dat cot on
all rates in effect in the passenger
service but Commissioners Thurteu and
Shaughnesey voted for the round trip
reduction.
Under the agreement as now accepted
by both parties the Southern Pacific
makes a round trip reduction in the
round trip fures between Reno and
Northern California points, tue reduc-
ton being 20 per cent less thai the com-
bined local rates between such points.
In the st ate there will be a reduction of
Is per cent on the combined rates be-
tween local points OF the road.
AS up to the present time the South
ern Pacific railroad company is the only
road TO answer to the demanded reduc-
ton the San Pedro, Los Angeles and
Salt Lake railroad has been cited TO
appear before the commission on or be-
fore March Dist and show cause why

passenger rates of that Lue'-Appeal.
II the people Outside OF Reno wish to
20 to San Francisco, they should buy Il
round trip ticket from their home station
TO Reno and then buy a round trip ticket
from there to their destination. This is
the only way in which they can get any
benefit OF the 20 per zen, reduction.
"Reminiscences Thurtell and Shaugh-
messy mad stood with Chairman Bar
tine, the commission might have been
able to secure a fl It reduction in pass

every body in the state. Under the agree
ment as accepted, q person who does
not intend to retuDn to the place at

they stood solidly for a fiat reduction Of
20 per cent, the INDEPENDENT believes
the Sou.hern Pacific Company would
