local market today. At opening the
stock was scarce and ii rallied a dol
lar from last nights close but the buy
ing power was soon exhausted and
from that time on scattered liquidation
steadily forced the price down. Stop
orders were caught at 5S and 81 and
this resulted in a further sharp break
so that stock closed at the bottom.
Unless support is furnished in the
morning, forced selling is liable to de-
press the price several points more.

Cav G. Sturgls says:
Boston, Dec. 9.-Innuenced primarily
by the reduction Of the Bank OF Eng
land and the many indications con-
stantly appearing of easier monetary
conditions, the general market was
strong though inactive. without any
excitement prices crept up to a strong
close and the general belief in higher
prices by Christmas was strengthened.
Locally the market was upset by
North Butte. The efforts so apparent
for some time past to bring about Ii
quotation i'm the stock succeeded today
and after great activity close off 3
points net was brought about. Senti-
ment is very much mixed on this issue
although many think the tips to sell II
are too general and too gratitious to be
entirely disinterested. The balance OF
the list was neglected and inclined to
be heavy.-Irving j. Sturgis.

ent machinery is G.nply sufficient to handle it. In the conffre>ion of the above work, if the property develops as is confidently expected, the manage ment proposes to begin on the north west tunnel which will run from the bottom of the shaft to the site of the reduction works on the river distance about 5000 feet. Not only will this tunnel, the same as the first, continue the cross cutting of the formation. but it will also drain the entire holdings of the company as well as forming an open avenue for the economical transportation of ore.
 My object in going into details of the development of the Quartz King is for the one purpose of showing that it is promoting a gigantic mining en- terprise-one of the foremost in the territOry-and that without ostentation or any blare of trumpets. The company through its manager attends strictly to the busi ness of mining and though only To- cated five miles from. and in plain view of Parker. the Quartz King is known or heard little of by people trav- cling through here.

The Quartz King property covers an eruptive formation at its first appear
 ance above the aliuvial deposit of the valley This formation presents on its surface most ever- known rock of ig

 Mention is made Of these producers to show that the Quartz King is cor rectly located, insofar as a heavily min eralizcd zone is concerned. This belt or zone, does not end on the north west at the crossing of the Colorado river but, to the contrary, reaches far on into California upon which many valuable properties are located and be- ing worked at the present time.
 It was in 1904 that the Quartz King Mining company began active develop ment upon its poperties with the sink ing of a vertical shaft. This shaft was located well into the mineral bearing zone upon large iron copper dike, at which point the mineral bearing for nation is proven to be 1000 feet wide The power for development comprised two 60-horse power gasoline engines which operated the hoist, and a 45-horse power compressor, while third, a 12-horse power engine, op-

SGttIGmGRt0f Controversy Be- tween Light to. and Citizens THE AUGUST SCHEDULE
It Has Been Further Reduced In Rates and Endorsed by the Opposition Which Pro- mises to Withhold Action Six Months.

The projected franchise for a com peting gas and electric company in this city will not be asked for bv the citizens having the matter under con- sideration for at least six months after August l, by reason of a compromise effected at the rooms Of the Maricopa County Commercial club yesterday and the Pacific Gas and Electric company and those interested in the proposed new company. Negotiations for a com promise began several days ago. en- coura cement being given such a line of action by all who appreciated the undesirability of a conflict between the two interests that would be ruinous to both. and disturbing to the welfare of all the public utility interests of the city. It was these advances that caUs- ed the postponement of the announced plan of asking the city council for franchise Monday night and between then and yesterday noon the confer
 ences have been almost continuous. The Pacific company has felt that its schedule announced to become effect i've August 1 was a notable reduction
Arizona republican., 1909-06-10

in price and that it was bordering close to the minimum rate at which business could be profitably dOne On the other hand, the business men planning the new company felt that a considerably lower schedule would still allow a fair profit, though they recognized the ex- pensiveness of a competition that might follow an effort to demonstrate their ideas, a competition that would be disastrous to both. and as they only desired what they believed to be just rates they recognized that both sides could better afford to make some con- sessions.
 The conference therefore resulted in the devising of a schedule that was acceptable to both sides and which is a material reduction from the compa- ny's first announced August schedule, particularly as it applies to the smaller business houses and the residence serv- ice. The new schedule for one thing offers a substantial reduction to even the smallest consumer, for the mini mum rate for service is reduced to $1 for both gas and electric light, the former schedule being $50 The rate for gas above the minimum cOnsump- tion is S2 and the rate for electric light for residences is 15 cents as in the August schedule recently offered, but on both a further reduction of 10 per cent is given all who pay by the 10th of the succeeding month. which leaves the rate to prompt patrons at 1872 cents per kilowatt for lights and S1.S0 per 1000 feet for gas
 IT., per kilowtt is made. This is an ad- vantage to the most of them who only use a few kilowatts a month. The first of August schedule was on the same basis for 100 kilowatts, the 100 kilo- watts being II cents. the next kilo- watts being If cents, the next 200 l<ilo- to cents a kilOwatt for very large consumers. Under that schedule 400 kiloWatts per month would have cost S53. less 10 per cent for cash by the 10th of the month, of S47.70 net Un- der the revised rate the charge would be $40. But many only use loo or 200 kiloWatts so the reduction for them is even greater.
 One of the best features of the com promise is one in which both the com pany and the opposition promoters join and that is in requesting the city coun- cil to appoint an official meter in spector.
 The schedule and changes outlined above met with the approval of the gentlemen who have been planning the opposition company, and in considera- tion of ire Pacific's adoption of it they agreed to withhold their pEoposed ac- tioD foI. gi~ months from Arottct until the operation Of the schedule can be noted by all concerned.

and at a lower elevation of 250 feet. Superintendent Simon and General Manager Rover had carefully engineer ed the latter proposition which was shown by correct map as follows: As previously stated. the new shaft was to be located 250O feet west of the old workings, on same mineraliZed for nation. The shaft to be sunk 125 feet from the bottom of which a cross cut tunnel is to be driven 1859 feet nearly east. at which point it intersects the large quartZite copper and iron dike (see illustration No. 8 upon which is located the old workings. At this point station will be made and the ledge will be drifted on in a southeasterly course for 1900 feet, where it will en-

In the transit of the first half of the tunnel five large mineralized dikes will be cut and explored as encountered, and it is reasonable to believe that a number of blind leads will be struck. Upon completion of the last half the water will flow to the shaft, where the pres

 This is my third visit to the mine in the interest of our Swedish stock holders and l say, I believe truthIully, that we are going to make a great mine out of the Quartz King. Every visit l note new and important fea lures, for instance on this trip I dis covered rock that carried gold that no one ever knew of before I am very well pleased with my visit"
 Paul Duchateau, son of Dr. Du- chateau, was here inspecting the property last month. The morning he left Parker for France he said:
 "The work now under way is cer- tainly the proper course to pursue It will be faithfully prosecuted and I be- lieve it will attract the eyes of the

twenty Eears, and the bodies of ore that lie underneath not yet started to be uncovered? The motto of all the camps is There is no use exaggerat- ing. it's rich enough without it"
 The above, literally speaking, is cor rect. Representatives of large capital are here today making careful exami- nation Of the general mineral condi ton of tte country. As a result some have acquired properties and it is con-
 fidently believed by those who \are watching the trend of affairs that oth CTS will take hold of some of the many worthy prospects adjacent to Parker.
 Among the first that might be term
 ed pioneer capital to see the merits of the geology and mineralOgy or this country was that organized by J. O.. Rover of Los Angeles, under the in corporation known as the Quartz King Mining company. The property ac- quired by this company consists of 114 claims situated five miles due east of Parker in Arizona less than two miles from the Colorado river. on the banks of which adequate mill sites are held

crates a tripleX plunger pump. With this machinery the shaft was sunk to a depth of 265 feet and the ledge was pretty thoroughly explored by drifts and cross-cuts as far as the 200 level. Large bodies of medium grade ore were encountered with a good number of high grade streaks. some of which av- eraged as much as eight feet in width. This ore is in carbonate and oxides to where the water is encountered. at which point the sulphides are making. which insures a permanent enriched ore zone and which will most probably grow richer with depth
 At 230 feet the shaft began to enter the water, which increased so rapidly that at the depth of 2G5 feet work was suspended on account of the incapacity of the machinery. A meeting of the board of directors of the company was held to consider the proper course to pursue. There were two ways out of the difficulty, one being the installa- ton of an almost entirely new plant, if the shaft was to be continued to the 800 level, the objective depth, and the other was to move the present plant some 2500 feet west toward the river

 The elder Duchateau is a large stock holder and director in the company and personally visited the Quartz King about this time last year. European stockholders keep themselves fully posted as the development progresses.
 Nothing but the closest economy has been observed by the management in it's surface improvements and every thing at the camp is conducted with that thought in view. No more worthy mining proposition is being opened up today in the west than the Quartz King Its officers, directors and many stock holders are gentlemen of high stand ing and the cOmpany's affairs are con dUcted without the slightest degree of secrecy. Within less than five years 1 believe the mining world will be bet ter acquainted with the Quartz King.

WHEAT,

Chicago, June 9.-Instead of making a special effort to force an advance in wheat trading, it looked as if those most friendly to the market, judging by the pit operations. were willing to give the bears an opportunity to do some short selling on the crop figures of yesterday if they could find any thing bearish in the news. The mar ket had two or three unimportant dips during the day but each time made prompt recovery. simply on taking back wheat sold by the local traders. Liverpool was at a stan1still. North west news was hullish, and conserva- tive people after view of yesterdays government report are taking much more bullish view of it.
