GREENE COMPANY
 ASSETS ARE ACQUIRED

The United States Inventor in its issue of October 23 gives the latest phase of Colonel W. c. Greene's ill fated and long bankrupt $25,0O0,O0O gold concern, the Greene Gold-Silver company, which was advertised up to two years ago as owning 116 mines, smelter concession at Guaymas, Sonora, etc. The Investor, in the is- sue mentioned, contained the follow ing advertisement:
 gro the stockholders of the Greene Gold-Silver company:
 "The Humboldt Exploration com pany, 50 Church street, New York, having purchased all of the assets of the Greene Gold-Silver company, sold at the sale of the trustee in bank ruptcy under the direction of the Uni ted States district court for the southern district of West Virginia on the 4th inst. which sale was on the same day confirmed by the court.
 "An stockholders of the Greene Gold-Silver company can have, by ap- plication in person or by writing, terms of exchange of their stock for stock of the Humboldt Exploration company"
 The above notice is a sort of sequel to news long since published. The Humboldt Exploration company is a corporation at the head of which is General Henry I. Wiley of New York formerly a mining engineer of Colonel Greene. General Wiley has been working for a long time to get hold of the Greene Gold-Silver company. It appears from the above advertise ment that his company has bought the assets of the Greene Gold-Silver company of the United States but the question naturally arises as to how General Willey's company will get hold of the assets of the Mexican holding company which Col. Greene had to hold all those 116 mines, etc.

way systems can settle, and that they do not appreciate the necessity IS shown by their disinelination to act.
 There is a great traffic in these iso- lated camps awaiting the arrival of locomotives and freight cars. It is sufficient to pay for building the spurs that are needed. Yet the cry is almost constant, "We need new mining camps" What we actually need is a little railway building. There are camps enough to supply the demand for more mining activity, but the products are not good for much without a market. Given the faeili- ties to reach the market, there would be a great thrush of ore.
 We may in time be startled by some great discovery of mineral in an out of-the-way place in the mountains of Grand or Routt, but what is needed now are ways to reach a dozen or so camps that can be made largely pro- duetive within a month after tracks and cars are provided. They have been prospected and we know some thing at least of what they contain. There's millions in them. We need some one to go after the millions with steel rails and comotives.-General Frank Hall in the Denver Post.

PREDICTION MADE
 REGARDING COPPER

BOSTON, Mass, Nov. 4.-The cop, per selling agencies which have ven tured an estimate concerning the forthcoming statement of the Copper Producers association state that the.7 are confident there will be a redUc. tion in stocks during the month of October. The United Metals Selling company adheres to it's normal quo tation of 1874, but electro is obtain. able in large quantities elsewhere at 1928 to 13 cents and the natural assumption is that the United Metals Selling company is getting only the "overflow. The smaller Lake Su- perior companies are taking brsincss at 13 cents to I3 Is for lake grades. The Stanton interests in the past few weeks have sold between three and for million pounds at 1918 cents.
 When the 25 cent dividend just declared on Butte Coalition shares is made payable December next, two years will have elapsed since the pre- vious disbursement. Up to December, 1907, when 15 cents per share was paid, the company had disbursed since its organization in 1906, 2,450,OO0 in dividends on its 100000 shares. Butte Coalition is producing very close to 4O,OOO,OOO pounds of copper per annum at a cost of 10 cents per pound. On 13-cent copper the indi- eated profits are equal to $1.20 per share as against current dividend re- quirements of $1 per share per an- nun. On December 31 next the com pany will conclude the best year in its history and will show a record production as well as the lowest casts. Through the opening of the new Tramway shaft a much larger ore tonnage has been available while a large portion of dead work formerly charged up to the cost of operation has been completed. Butte Coalition has a cash surplus approximating s4,- 100000 and this has been kept vir- tually intact since organization.

More Railroads Needed For Those Already

(From Saturdays Daily.)

l kTIOm EodIuludy . Ddliy.)
 That part of the public which is in terested in mining has been disap- pointed in some essential particulars, to begin with, the expectation that at least one new mining camp would be discovered at some point along the Moffat railroad. It has not material 1 ized. While it is true that some dis eoveries have occurred, there is noth- ing in the present aspect of affairs to warrant the conclusion that a new belt of mines, having the features that attract multitudes of people and result in large production of rich min 1 eral, has been found. One prospector found strong vein of copper in Elk park, Routt county, and another a ledge or deposit of fair average value, 75 feet wide, in the Rabbit Ear range of Grand county, but neither of these disclosures attracted much attention. Therefore, unless finds have been made elsewhere and strict secrecy maintained, nothing new in the way of additions to our already extensive mining area has come out of the past summers work.
 It is not essential to the prosperity or the perpetuity of the mining in dustry of Colorado that new fields should be discovered. We possess all ready an enormous area of as good mining ground as can be found Tn the world, not in one place, but in many places. When the prospectors of the Leadville period found exten- sive belts of mineral veins they pro- eeeded to open them with such means as they could command. This work resulted in the exposure of great treasure, but the discoverers were handicapped by their remoteness from railways. They had the ore of un- questionable value and of large ex- tent, but they were unable to get it to the markets without heavy cost, which absorbed profits. AS a conse- quence, little beyond surface exploi- tation was accomplished
 We know that many points in Gun nison, Summit, Gilpin, Clear Creek, Park, Lake, San Juan and La Plata counties are as good mining sections as exist in any portion of the west, yet they have made no impression upon the market because little has been produced and for the reason stated. They are held back by the lack of rapid transit, and will be held back so long as this prerequisite to progress is withheld.
 Our smelters are in need of ore to fill their furnaces, many of which have been out of eommisson for a long time. Yet there is plenty of ore. It seems to be a question that only the owners of our several rail

 It seems a certainty that if they investigate the matter fully they will find it helpful in every way and furthermore assurances can be giver that the gate receipts from the vari ous contests will more than compen sate for the expenses that will bt involved.

Two important developments took place yesterday in the cases of Anna M. wiles and D. D. Rogers, who were arrested on a charge of violating the Edmunds act.
 One was the filing of suit for di- vorce by Mrs. Wiles from her hus- band, Chas. M. Wiles.
 The other was the release on bonds of Mrs. Wiles and Rogers. The for mer's bond was fixed at $100 and the latter's at $500.
 A remarkable feature of this case, which is now attracting wide atten- ton owing to it's sad features and the fact that two innocent babies are involved in the affair, is that two to- tai strangers to the parties-John Kinney, a well-known mining man, and Dr. Warren E. Day, a prominent physieian-voluntarily out of sympa- thy after hearing their stories fur nished the bond which. gained for

YUMA COUNTY NOW COMING ID
 FRONT
Properties Are Being De- veloped on An Ex-
 tensive Scale

YUMA, Ariz., Nov. 5.-The next six
 weeks will see no little development
 work among the mining claims of
 Yuma county, which, up to the pres
 ent time, have been scarcely more than prospects. The fine showing made recently by the Craekerjaek property,
 in the Castle Dome district, has in spired the owners of the Cave group, consisting of claims l, 2, 3 and 4, to commence active operations, and a force of miners will soon be on the ground. The Cave group is owned by Yuma parties, including Max Czucza, James R. Kilgore, Harry Brownstetter, C. H. Olney, L. M. Etheridge and P. J. Hammer of Los Angeles. Kilgore is also one of the owners of the Crackerjaek, which, by well informed mining men, is rated as one of the most promising of the undeveloped mines of Yuma county.
 The Mexican Girl, consisting of seven claims, adjoining the Heela group, near Walton, will also be the scene of active development work in the near future. It is a free mill ing gold proposition and in the cen ter of what is possibly the second richest mineral district of the eoun- try. Rock from the Mexican Girl has assayed at astonishing figures, and the owners, A. H. Kent, Henry Morris and Max Czucza all of Yuma, have unlimited confidence in the mines future. Thirty feet of work has already been accomplished and drifting started.
 At the Thumb Butte the main shaft is now down $50 feet, the ore all the way showing well, carrying an average value of $17 per ton. Seven men are employed at the present time and this force will shortly be in- creased. During the three months of July, August and September, when, owing to the heat, work was not practicable, water accumulated in the shaft, which mad to be drawn off before the developing work could pro- eeed. Secretary Ming of the, Thumb Butte company, who has recently re- turned from a thorough inspection of the property, reports that the com pany will install a mill within the next few months. A new bunk house and eommissary have been erected to take the place of the buildings destroyed by fire in the early sum- mer. Charles Theobald is superin- tendent of the mine.
 s. T. Bentley will resume opera tions on his property consisting of six claims in the La Paz mining dis triet of Yuma county, 12 miles west of Quartzite. The tunnel now in 160 feet will be extended 100 feet fur there on the Chuekawalla vein, the | tunnel now being at a depth of about

the ore available for treatment givo 10000 tons as the minimum. This does not include what may follow in development, and the plan of tke company is to have the mill running early next spring. By that time an additional tonnage will be given.
 It is expected to keep the mill running continuously.
 The Juanita people have a group of fourteen mines under ownership, situated in Crook Canyon and adjoin- ing the Bodie mines. The ores carry values in gold, silver and copper, the yellow metal predominating.
 c. E. Warren, who has been the su- perintendent of the company from the beginning, will continue in that capac- ity under the new arrangement. He is a competent miner and eonversant with the ground at all points, possess ing a practical education in mining work.

DR. FLYNN MAKES
 OFFER OF ATROPHY
Takes Most COmmendable Attitude For Advancement of Physical Develop
 ment in Arizona Schools.
(Frem Saturdays Daily)
 CBY RABS.)

A new proposition which is certain to appeal to every school lad, not alone in Prescott but in this entire territory, has been advanced by Dr. J. W. Finn, one of the leading pny- sians of this city.
 Dr. Finn proposes to donate handsome trophy-several of them if desired-for the school making the best athletic showing in interschOlas- tic contests. He is not in the least bit reserved in the number of cups or trophies. He is willing to buy sev- eral if the occasion demands. And he is actuated solely by a desire to stimulate athletic events in the vari- ous schools for he believes in the phy- sical development together with the mental development and is convinced from long study that where athletics not of the violent kind but of the milder brand-are combined with the mental activities, that the student is better fortified to continue his studies >in a manner that is beneficial to all.
 "I don't know a great deal these days about athletics" said Dr. Film modestly yesterday, "but I still re- tain sufficient interest and am abso- lutely convinced that a trophy would stimulate the various schools to re- newed activity in athletics and none will deny that athletics are good for the pupils for it makes them strong in muscle and body and thereby aids them in every way. It is well known that a hardy, sturdy student can do more mental work than one who is weakly and sickly most of the time. By judicious athletic exercise many a lad and lassie who has been none too strong has become healthy and hardy and prepared from a physical standpoint at least to fight the bat ties of life.
 ''It is possible that a territorial tournament might be out of ques- tion. The expense might be heavier than the gate receipts.
 ''However, it seems to me that Prescott, Williams, Flagstaff and Phoenix might be able to arrange for a tournament in which the schools of these various cities have teams entered.
 "But if this should prove impOssi- hle, why not have local events. My offer of a trophy or trophies will still hold good. I hope that the prin- cipals of the schools will take this matter under serious consideration.
 And the concensus of opinion will he that Dr. Flinn is right. Too much study without proper athletic exer- cise just like too much work without any play makes not only Jack, but also Jessie, a dull boy or a dull girl, as the athletics in moderation ungues- tionably strengthen the mental facul ties ard allow the pupils to do ad- ditional work and to do it better than if they were to become confirmed bookworms.
 And Dr. Finn has not overlooked the rills. He is willing to offer 6 trophy or more than one for that mat

 There were other tenders of assist ance but they were declined with thanks.
 Through her attorney, Henry F. Ashurst, Mrs. Wiles in her divorce petition filed yesterday alleged that for two years Wiles has failed to support her and that Cat all times during the past two years plaintiff has wholly by her own labor and work and the bounty of friends and ac- quaintances, earned a living and sup port for herself"
 Personal service was had yesterday on Wiles, who is at present in this city.
 Willis R. Munger, a wealthy broker of St. Joseph, Mo, and brother of Mrs. Wiles, arrived here last eve ming. He declared that he will stick by his sister to the end and do everything in his power to aid her.

Iinola Horace tiopes.

Uncle Horace Johnson of Middle Haddam issued his December weather prediction on the 3d. and this is It; Prom the 3d to the 5th there will be a local disturbance of little note. From the 10th to the 14th there will be. general disturbance; winter Will De upon us. I hope we may have ram. Water is very scarce for the season.
 Uncle Horace is combining sagacity with his prophecy to an unwonted de- gree. Possibly there were local dis turbances in Middle Haddam from the Sd to the 5th. but they must have been intensely local-no town outside of Haddam had 'em. but that may be no fault of Uncle Horace's. As for the general disturbance from the 10th to the 14th. it may come. If it bring snow or if it bring rain, twill build up the water supply once again. And that's what we need, more than kite flying weather.
 The most significant feature of Un1 c1e Horace's prediction" is this: T hope we may have rain" A rational and seasonable hope, truly, but hope isn't propehcy. The shortest sighted of us may hope for rain, but may not be able to fOresee or foreteH 1t. And if Uncle Horace is goning to change his system and give us his hopes in- stead of weather signals, we may as well stick to the goosebone. Never theless. with Uncle Horace, we also hope we may have rain, and have 1t good and plenty-Hartford Post.

MADE POLITICAL WATCHERS
 GOSSIP AT LIVELY RATE
Prominent Factors in Ohio Politics Gather at White House as Personal Guests of the President.

Washington, Dec. s.-An interesting gathering of prominent factors in Ohio politics as the personal guests of the president at the White House today set political watchers to gossiping az a lively rate, although none of those directly interested would admit that their coming together at the White House had any significance whatso- ever Former Governor Herrick of Ohio and Charles P. Taft of Cincinnati, the presidents brother, are stopping at the White House. This in itself was sufficient to indicate to many that politics might have at least 8 small place in their discussions with the president When Arthur | Vorys went to the White House for luncheon with the others and remained there in con- ference until late in the afternoon it was immediately assumed that Ohio political affairs of an important nature were surely being considered.
 c. P. Taft said, however, that his visit was but one of many he hoped to pay to his big brother during the lat ter's term of office. Governor Herrick vowed that his visit was of purely personal character and MT. Vorys fur ther explained that until he arrived here he did not know that either Mir. Taft or Governor Herrlck was Tn me city. His invitation to luncheon, he said, dated only from the moment early today when he asked an audience of the president. Mir. Vorys was Presi- dent Taft's chief of stan during the campaign of last fall. He was for several months in charge of the cam paign in Ohio. and at one time it was rumored that he was to become na- tional chairman of the party.
 Gossip as to today's conference turn ed largely upon the possibility or go- ing over available material in Ohio for a candidate to oppose Governor Harmon for the governorship next fall. It is supposed here to be taken for granted by the republican leaders in Ohio that Governor Harmon will be re- nominated and it is also conceded by them that if he should be elected for a second term he will be a formidable

 On New Years eve, 1907. occurred an incident Mrs. Brokaw testified, when caused her much humiliation. It had been her husbands custom, she said. to serve her at dinner with ginger ale poured from a champagne bottle, while he and his guests drank champagne.
