Duty Comes Off at Sonora.

The concession granted the Greene
Cananea by the Mexican government
by the terms of which the duty of 81
per barrel on fuel oil is removed, be-
comes effective within a few days
when supply of this commodity will
be Immediately provided.
The decision to dispense with the
use of coal, and the substitution
therefor of fuel oil, was only decided
upon after a very thorough test had
been made and one which indicated
a prospective saving of about % per
cent. or $1,000 daily.
Economics have been effected in
the department of mining trans
pOrtation, concentrating and smelt-
ing during the recent period in which
production was suspended, and this
company will, as result, shortly en-
ter upon an era of operating costs
more in keeping with those of this
couutry's leading producers, and be-
low the average cost of this country's 5
production.
There is now an available smelling
capacity of 5000 tons, while 24OO ton,
daily can be treated at the cOncen
traitor. 1t is expected that the COM
pany will be treating about 800 tons
of smelling ore daily within two
months.

Greene Con Meeting Held in New York.

Stockholders of Greene COnsoli-
dated Gold company held an ad-
journed special meeting in New York
last week, but as was the case sew
eral weeks ago, no quorum was pres
ent. Colonel Martin, the secretary,
stated that there were present ap-
proximately 49,, 900 shares, whereas
240, 900 shares were necessary. There
were in brokers' hands So, 600 shares,
proxies for which could not be oh
tanned.
Between the two meetings the COM
pany, with the Greene Gold Silver
company, moved from the $4,000
800 office in the Broadway Exchange.
The stockholders were originally
called to vote on proposition which
would give Colonel Greene power to
operate the plant after completion
of the dredge and for two years
divide profits with the company.
Subsequent to the first meeting,
directors took action which gave Mr..
Greene this privilege. If within r
months he had not commenced oper-
ations, his lease would be nulliied.
The following have resigned as di-
rrctors: w. f. B. Stokes Epes Ran

japanese Drink Barred.

Uncle Sans pure food law has cut
the seventy or eighty thousand Japa-
nese of Hawaii out of their national
drink and there is great deal of
soreness among the Orientals as
consequence. This tahooed liquor l.
known as sake, product obtained by
the fermentation of rice, and the rea
son it has been debarred from entry
to United States ports is because
salicylic acid appears to be necessary
as a preservative in exporting. An
application has been filed by a newly
formed company of japanese who
propose to make the drink in Homo
lulu provided they can get the neces-
sary license, and in the meanwhile
the Japs are substituting beer, cheap
wines, and other American liquors
for their national beverage.
Sake is an almost cOlOrless liquid
with a rather mild and insipid taste,
said to contain from 10 to l5 per cent.
of alcohol. The real status of sake
among beverages is still matter of
dispute. When its Importation into
the United States began some years
ago it was classed as wine by the Gus
tom house officials for the purpose OF
revenue, but as the duty on wine is
brought by the importers in the Unit
ed States courts to establish its true
status and incidentally to recover
some million dollars duty paid ON wine.
The matter will be carried to the
United States Supreme Court since
the District Court and the Court of
Appeals have differed in their opinions.

A new excess baggage rate on the
Southern Pacific lines has gone into
effect. The rate Is now Is l-2 per
cent. of the lowest frst-class ticket
fare per 100 pounds of baggage which
is an increase over the old rate of 1-3
per cent. Under the new rate, for
illustration S6.70 per hundred pounds
excess will be charged from FL Paso
to San Francisco, against 1880, the
former rate and the rate to Los An
geles, which was the same as the old
San Francisco rate, has been increased
to s. per 100 pounds. The old rate
vas l5 per cent of the lowest first
;lass ticket fare.
The New York purchasers of the
Gmporia group of claims are SO en-
;Ouraged by recent developments
that they are now considering the
erection of ten stamp mill on the
property. The new working shaft is
down 45 feet in ore which now fills
the bottom of the shaft. A hoist is
being installed and it is the intention
OF the management to sink several
hundred feet and open levels 100 feet
The Emporia group of ten
claims is located seven miles south of
Prescott on the Prescott and Senator
stage road. The Emporia claim, one
of the principal locations of the
group, has good record in gold pro-
duction, although it was never opened
to any considerable depth. There is
a millsite with never failing water
supply covered by the locations of
the group, and the development of
the ledge to greater depth is expect
ed to furnish enough water to supply
a fair sized reduction plant.

Tom Holcomb, ole of the lucky
men of Sunny Slope, has opened up
a 30-foot ledge of gold quartz assay
ing in value $l6S.9S in gold, causing
considerable excitement in camp.
Mr.. Holcomb Is resident of Douglas
and is preparing to move to Hachita.
He states that he commenced pros
pecting about two years ago and has
now made the strike that will make
him and his family independently
rich. This makes about six rich
finds in the way of ledge claims, all
in gold. Mr.. Holcomb likes the gen.
eral formation and says there is gold
in these mountains that never will be
found, and enough already discover
ed, if worked out, to make 20 per
cent. of the people in Grant county
wealthy

a comparison of the custom re-
ceipts of the Office of Consul Maza in
Douglas shows that from June l, 1907
to June oath of the same year, the re-
ceipts of duties on goods imported
into Mexico through Douglas were
approximately $3.50, 100000 while re-
ceipts for the same twenty-three days
in June of this year show the receipts
to be S73, ,ISO.SS or a net decline of
S76,O00.O0. The Customs receipts are
a never failing index to conditions in
the country below there, and it is to
be hoped that this time next year will
see them even greater than they
were for the CORES pOnding periods
last year.

Joe Morrison in Hands Of Friends.

II can't say what my position will
be in CONNECTION with accepting the
re republicdu nomination for delegate
to congress in the event that this
honor should be rendered me at the
territorial convention. fully appre-
ciate the honor that such a nomina-
tion would carry and if l should de-
eide to go into the race will do all
within my power to carry victory fol
the party in the territory
Such were the words of J. E. Morri-
son, in answer to the numerous re-
ports which have been going the
rounds of late connecting his name
with that of the delegate to con-
gress.
Il have been Feceiying encourage
ment from many parts of the terri
tory of late and my old friends in
Yavapai have been quite persistent
that l consider the nomination.
There have been not a few in Pima
county who feel that ought to make
the campaign as well as many of my
old friends in COchise.
"Of course, L feel the responsible
ity of the nominee on the republican
ticket and that it mean much hard
work, time and the expenditure of
money. Arizona is a large territory
to cover and the man who heads the
ticket will have a hard campaign be-
fore him and no one can accept the
nomination without having this be-
fore him in advance
Al feel that there is a good show
for the republicans to win this fall
Mark A. Smith will of course be the
candidate for the democratic ticket
in the territory as he has always been
aud the party is getting tired of hav-
ing a man in Office who is just going
to do things. The younger blood of
Arizona wants younger man who
has the possibilities of accomplish
ment and who will go down to Wash
lngton and make himself felt. Who
ever the republicans decide upon to
make the race should meet these re-
quirementS and he able to make
showing if elected. l am anxious for
the success of the party and will do
all in my power tO assist the repub-
leans of Arizoud to victory next

In 1872 there was a great deal of
diarrhoea, dysentery, and cholera in
fantum. 1t was at this time that
Chamberlin's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy was first brought
into use. 1t proved more successful
than any other remedy or treatment,
and has for thirty five years main
tanned that record. From a small be-
ginning its sale and use has extended
to every part of the United States
and to many foreign countries. Nine
druggists out of ten will recommend
it when their opinion is asked, al
though they have other medicines
that pay them a greater profit. 1t

5. P. Shops Close Again.

After having been in operation but
two days the Southern Pacific shops
were again closed last week. The
notice informing the men that they
need not come to work in the morn
ing did not specify when there would
be resumption. 1t stated that the
shutdown is indefinite.
The order came as d complete sur
prise as it was supposed generally
that after the four days lay off the
shops would continue to operate
steadily. With the main shops closed
the work of repairing engines for the
road will have to be done by the
round house force. 1t is stated by
shop employees that there is consid-
cradle work in the shops and they
can not account for the order to shut
down. Although the closing order
stated that the time for resumption
is indefinite, it is not believed that
the shops will be closed for any great
length of time.-Tucson Citizen.

AIEAIEA CULTURE.

Where one wishes to make a trial Of
growing alfalfa the piece of land Oh
which it is to be grown should be put
In the best of tilth, as for a big crop o1
corn. and enriched with several leads
of stable manure per acre. Alfalfa is

family i'll that it does not do we'll Oh

summer sowing the seed should be put

twenty n ,n,. + pounds per acre. The
1egume will gain footnu,~. .ie iiioie

field is put on the land with the ma.
nure with which it is fertilized. Where
no such field is within reach soil from
n spot where s.a"-- 'ov,. - has crown
....swer the same purpose. The
advantage of late summer sowing of
alfalfa lies in the fact that most of
the weed seeds in the soil have in all
probability been germiHated and de-
stroyed, while those that do sprout will
be held in check by the dry weather
which usually prevails at that time of
year. One of the greatest handicaps
in getting a start in alfalfa in some
localities is the pest Of Grasshoppers.
which are so destructive to the young
alfalfa plants in some seasons that it
is useless to attempt starting patch

A SUCCESSFUL CREAMERY.

In the locality in which the writer
lives is located one of the most success.
full cooperative creameries in the north
Fart of the state. 1t has been in sue
cessful operation for the past twenty
years or more and has survived the
sharp competition Of nearby concerns
and the centralized plants Of larger
cities. To those living in localities
where the creamery business is not
on a satisfactory basis or where there
is no creamery at all some brief ac-
count Of this cooperative plant may
be of interest. The stock Of the com.
pany, which is capitalized at $4,000, is
held by the many patrons living in the
territory tributary in shares of $40.
While a stockholder may own more
than one share, he is allowed to cast
but one vote. At present no member
owns more than one share. Election
Of officers is held annually early In
January. These consist Of board of
six directors, manager, treasurer and
buttermaker, the latter being hired by
the directors. While a good deal Of
rivalry and interest develop now and
then in the annual elections, there has
been a singular freedom from friction
touching the more important aspects
Of the management Of the plant, a re-
spect in which many similar enter
prises go to smash. There are at pres
ent close to 500 cream patrons. Dur
ing the month Of June the output was
a tri1e over $1,000 pounds, all Of the
butter but the small amount retailed
locally being sold for top notch prices
on the New York market. The plant
proper, valued at $4,000, consists of
the building, one 1000 gallon capacity
cream vat one 700 gallon capacity
ripener and agitator, one 1000 pound
capacity churn, one twelve horsepower
steam engine and an eighteen horse
power boiler, as well as cream testers,
cream tanks, cans, etc. An icehouse is
kept in connection sufficient to supply
needs during the year. The wisdom
of the directors who have had the
management of affairs in the past has
been chiefly manifested in the hiring
of competent managers and a first
class buttermaker and keeping him for
a period of years. This has resulted
in uniformity Of butter product and
stability and satisfaction in the gen.
eral conduct of the business. Every
community where dairying is possible
should have creamery of this general
type unless the field is already occu-
pied by an institution which answers
the same purpose.
