ment of plans and vigorous engage
ment in high activity at the Giroux
property would come about as speed
lily as possible and he felt that he
could say that the district would not
be disappointed in the speed with
which results would come about.
All members of the party leave
with not only high opinion of the
camp but as well with exceedingly
cordial feeling toward its people and
Its interests. With other organiza-
tions in the district IL was stated the
most cordial relations were sustained
and would be maintained. The new
interests intend to do all they can for
the progress of the district as a whole
and feel themselves to be a part of
the local life and interested in the
general welfare and prosperity. This
feeling is returned in the district,
where expressions concerning the Wis
itors have been of the most friendly
and enthusiastic character.
Remaining behind the visitors to
conduct the big work of the future
is General Manager Mills. who came
to the camp few days ahead of the
Giroux-Cole party. Mr.. Mills is con-
sidered better fitted for the work he
undertakes than any other man the
company might have secured to fill
the position vacated by the resigna-
tion of Manager Walter. The new
general manager had had wide expe-
rience In mining. For some years he
was at the head of the mining divi-
sion of large independent steel COM
pany In the iron country. handling in
this, position very large steam
shovel proposition. Later he handled
copper mines in the Lake copper
country, coal mines in West Virginia
and copper-gold mines in California.
HIS experience has been such as to
give him very valuable knowledge of
the things that will be requisite at
the Giroux, steam shovel mining. the
development of big bodies of ore and
the extraction of large tonnage from
the surface to --e greatest depth.
Mr.. Mills is shaping his plans as
rapidly as possible for the employ
ment of large force at the Giroux.
Men are now going on and the force
will be increased just as fast as room
can be made in the workings. II is
very probable that within a month
there will be more than a hundred
men on the pay roll at Giroux and
that this number by the middle of
summer will have increased several
times over. In the language of one
of the members of the Cole party
yesterday. they will be tearing the

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2s.-The ser
ond session OF the senate committee
on territories to consider the New
Mexico and Arizona statehood bill
was held today A number of amend
ments were offered and It is thought
that an earnest effort will be made
to prevent passage OF the measure.
It Is admitted that it is practically
impossible to get action from the sen
ate during the present session.
The Democrats are going to be di-
vided when the tariff bill reaches
them as to the best policy to be pur-
sued They are a unit on the gen
eral principle that the tariff should
be based on the demands of the gov
ernment for revenue. rather than for
protection. and apparently if the
Democrats themselves We're in the
majority and framing the bill 1t
would be upon this basis.
Several congressman from sections
of the country in which are large
industries. however. think that in
asmnch as the bill Will be protect

constituents TO obtain the highest
protection possible.
The senate and house committees
on patents have agreed on the can

bill along the lines OF the Currier
bill, which has passed the house.
Senator Smoot today introduced the
bill in the senate and will make an
effort TO have II passed so the meas
nre may become law at the pres
ent session. The provision for the
protection of the composers of mu-
sic is that they shall receive a roy

Decidedly Violent In Dolly
Warden Affair----SO
Much So That Stock
Was Sought Yesterday
OFFICERS OF COMPANY WOULD
NOW SEEM AGGRIEVED PAR
TIES--DECLARED THAT STOCK
HOLDERS HAVE NOT LOST.

4 meeting of the committee APP
pointed to investigate the Dolly VAR
den affair was held last night at the
Office of Binford x Hulse. The ses-
sion was behind closed doors and
Lasted but short time. Later,
Messrs. Cunningham and Burke of
the committee presented to the News
"a signed statement by all the men,
beers of the committee i'm which its
intention to demand books of the
company and prosecution of those
who might be found guilty of wrong
conduct i'm connection with its af-
fairs, was demanded.
This statement was subsequently
withdrawn, IL being stated that in
view of later information the repre-
sentatives of the committee did not
number TO a publication that night
be found to work an injustice with
out first placing the later informa-
tion before them.
The information which occasioned
the withdrawal of the statement sign
ed by the Investigating committee last
night was furnished in the News Of
flee. 1t is to the effect that at The
present time the Dolly Warden c +
per Co., in belief of the News. on
the strength of documents shown It..
is in possession of the property
claimed by it and has possession as
sured by the law for a period some
time in advance of the present, by
virtue of an agreement entered into
before the departure of President
George NJ Nix for Chicago.
The information held by the News
was submitted yesterday to Attorney
Frank Y. Murphy. and later to min
ing man who is thoroughly conyers-
ant with such matters of law. The
opinion of these gentlemen confirmed
the opinion held by the News. It
went stronger, in the declaration tha!
the papers which are held would
seem to establish the ownership OF
the Austin property by the Dolly Var
den Copper Co. and the full legal
right of the officers of that company
to declare, as they did. to the bro
kers in whose hands they placed
stock of the company for sale, that
the company owned the ground.

TROUBLE ACCUMULATED BY RI

ATES CONDITION BORDERING
ON PANIC IN CHICAGO PIT.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2:s.-Foil0wing
London's lead, the local stock market
displayed marked weakness at the
opening today. The brunt of the at
tack was borne by United States
Steel and other metal stocks.
During the noon hour the market
suffered another severe decline in
prices, concurrent with adyices from
Washington that the United States
supreme court had rendered deci-
sion against the New York Central
i'm its rebate case, appealed from the
United States district court.
The decline was continuous to the
close, with sharp and violent down
ward fluctuations for steel and al
lied stocks. On the whole the day
was the most portentiously gloomy
since the troublesome times of more
than year ago.
The bears had a field day In all
divisions and were active. although
during the late afternoon there were
evidences of temerity. This was
credited. however. more to fear of
runaway toboggan conditions arising
than to doubt of further declines in
the list.
Support was entirely lacking in
the market today Those who might
stem the downward tendency seem
to have withdrawn their interest and
while something may develop over
night to change the situation, there
is now no indication of change in
this respect tomorrow, when still fur
ther losses are looked for all along
the line.
CHICAGO. Feb. 23.-Conditions
bordering on panic prevailed today

Nervousness continued throughout
the day and was accentuated this aft
ernoon by the unfavorabie reports
from the eastern markets. where a
