OFFERED TO PAY WHAT GOV
EMINENT THOUGHT DUE.

The threatened investigating of the
American Sugar Refining Company by
Congress and the activity displayed
by the stock in the security market
recently have attracted widespread
attention to this property
1t may not be generally known that
half Of the sugar consumed in the
United States is due free because rails

ern beet sugar lands or imported from
the colonial possessions of the United
States. Figures of consumption and
production are In detail as follows:
Annual sugar consumption in United
States, 1908, S,185,0O0 tons; 1909 les.
timated), 100000 tons; estimated
annual increase in consumption, 5 per
cent; total sugar duties paid last
year, $56,OOO,OOO.
OF this the American Sugar Rein

company also has 20 per cent own.
ership in the beet sugar crop of the
country.
There is more beet sugar raised on
the Pacific coast than can be con-
sumed there, and home-raised free
beet sugar is driving duty-paid foreign
sugar out of the entire territory west
of the Mississippi river Western
beet sugars are sold not only in Kan
sas City and st. Louis but in Chicago
and in certain seasons come as far
east as Buffalo. Sandwich island SUI
gars are free, but only one half these
go to California for refining: the other
half goes to Philadelphia. Next year
pit is expected that, of total con-
sumption of 100000 tons, 1,75OOOO
tons will be free sugar, by reason Of
the increase in beet sugar from our
island dependencies.

timated as follows for this year and

Bright Outlook for Tombstone.

Tom bStone is now in n fair way to
become the bonanza producing camp
of the early days" said +. M. Murphy
today.
The Arizona mining magnate and
railroad builder was in the Office of
the Tom bstone Consolidated Mines Co,
in conference with his associate and
lifelong friend E. B. Gage, president
of the company. Together the two
distinguished operators had discussed
future plans, and the remark was
fraught with suggestive significance.
Indeed, strikingly impressive are the
kindly faces of both these pioneer cap
tains of industry, who have grown grey
in the service, applying their zeal and
energy for Arizona's upbuilding and
progress with which they are so init
mately identified. Evidences of their
emprise in overcoming obstacles and
surmounting difficulties in reaching
the attained goal of success-the sue
C SIS that spells alike for the individual
and the commonwealth, are not want
ing, and particularly is Tombstone to
he congratulated that such industrial
leaders and powerful factors in the
realm of mining and finance are iden-
titled with its redemption.
Mr.. Murphy, who is here on an in
spection trip, found much to interest
him since his last visit. The striking
of rich ore on the 7OO-foot level of the
big pump shaft-2OO feet below the
original water level-its development
into body of magnitude: the opening
of the same on the S00-foot level strong
er and more permanent in character;
the drifting for its continuation on the
l,OO0-foot level, the present lowest
the same on the Silver Thread at the
same depth, nearly half a mile north,
and the order to begin immediate op-
erations at the West Side and Tribute
to open the ore bodies that have lain
dormant beneath the watery barrier,
just removed by the mammoth pump
ing plant, are important features of
recent developments in the I. c. NJ.
Co. system. Little wonder that the
distinguished visitor gave utterance
TO the encouraging words which so
aptly applies to local conditions and
are SO significant of future extensive
perations.-Tombstone Prospector.

California Has Mining Laws.

For the first time in the history of
California there is law on the books
providing for the manner of locating
and recording mining claims. Until
Governor Gillett signed Senator Will
lis's bill California was the only state
in the Union having mineral bearing
lands that did not have a code of laws
governing the subjects embraced in
the Willis measure. Through all of
its picturesque history as a mining
state its miners have carried on their
operations according to such rules as
were laid down by the federal govern
ment, supplemented by whatever local
rules the miners have adopted for To-
cal self-government.
With one exception the Willis meas
ure follows customs carried out by the
miners for half a century. 1t expresses
in statutory form the practices common
in the mining regions of the west.
The exception refers to the neglect of
any locator to perform annual develop
ment work on his claim. This failure
deprives him of the right to relocate
the claim until three years have eX-
pired after the claim has run out
This will force locators to do the an
nual work or forfeit the claim TO those
who will.
Most, if not all of the other provis-
ions, have been in successful operation
in other states and have received the
sanction of the highest state and fed
eral courts and the land department.
They form a single guide TO the pros
pector and give to his location notice,
when recorded, the value of a paper
title, upon which all subsequent pro-
ceedings, either for patent or trans
fer, may be predicted.

Richest Copper Company in the World
in Arizona.

Boston, March 24.-In declaring an
initial dividend of l-2 per cent on
the $1,000, ,OO0S capital stock of Phelps,
Dodge & Co., inc, the directors were
guided entirely by the earnings for
the current quarter, which will end
March 81. No designation as to wheth-
er future payments will be at quarter
ly or semi-annual intervals was made.
As expressed by a director to a repre-
sentative of the Boston News Bureau
in New York: IF the copper market
improves the dividends will be higher:
l do not anticipate that they will be
any lower" To pay the 2.5Os per
share just authorized, l,250,0OOS will
be required TO make disbursements,
,ol the 5000 shares of the capital
stock.
Mohave County miner., 1909-04-10

Last year but two of the copper pro-
ducers now in the new corporation of
Phelps, Dodge & Co., inc, paid divi
dends, the Copper Queen disbursing
1900, ,O00S and the Detroit paying $780,
COOS, total of 3.45O,OO0S. The former
company, however, after paying divi-
dends and charging off 4SO,OOOs for de-
probation, showed a surplus on the
years operations of LOIS, ,237s. De-
troit showed a surplus of 472, DIGS after
the payment of 4SO.OOOs in dividends
and charging l2O,OOOs to renewal fund.
The latter company's receipts, how
ever, were increased by 250,0O0S of
profits accruing from the sale of the

The cIifton-Morenci District.

The firm foundation of the Clifton
Morenci district places this camp in
position second to none during a dull
period in copper prices. II is true
that our business men are not enjoying
boom, but as a matter of fact they
are doing a steady and substantial bus
iness. The pay roll of the larger com
panies have been slightly reduced on
account of the curtailment OF extra de-
velopment work and the failure of new
companies to enter the district. Just
at the present time there is a large
production of copper in the United
States against a rather small consump-
tion, which will necessitate a slow and
natural adjustment between the pro-
ducer and consumer. In fact the pres
ent condition of affairs seems to have
been brought about on account of the
tactics being played by the consumers,
who, of course. are looking for as
cheap copper as possible. A II cent
copper market will be the cause of
many companies closing temporarily
and the output must be decreased be-
fore we can expect very high price.
But from natural advantages there is
no reason why this decrease will be
helped by the closing of any of the pro-
ducers in the Clifton Morenci district.
Another reason why business should
increase in this district within the
next few months is the building of the
new Shannon-Arizona railroad, upon
which work is to be commenced short
ly after April lst. A large surveying
corps has been in the field the past
six weeks and they are now operating
at the upper end of Chase Creek. The
building of the line will require a
large number of laborers for seven or
eight months, which means that thou
sands of dollars will be put into circu-
lation among a class of people who
spend it all at home.-Copper Era.

The Sierra Madre interests of w. C.
Greene to Be Carried Out.

Every original project that l and
my associates have ever had for the
development of the Sierra Madre coun-
try will be carried out. In fact, the
original plans have broadened and will
now he larger than they ever were
My railroad concessions in the Sierra
Madre country have not lapsed and
the 100000 acres of timber which
control cannot be interferred with be-
cause the timber has been paid for.
The only concession that has lapsed
was the mining concession. That par
ticular concession came to an end last
January. Its renewal would have been
an impossibility under the laws re-
Gently passed by the government of
Mexico" These two statements were
made to an Ell Paso Times reporter by
Col. w. c. Greene as he sat in the re-
ception compartment of his private
car Verde in the yards of the Union
station. The plans at present will
require the investment of about 20,-
0O0,0O0S besides the money that we
have already invested there. This has
been provided for and the work on the
road will be continued"

Rate on Mineral Lead.

1t was the report of men who had
waited on the ways and means CON-
mittee of the house that Chairman
Payne is not disposed to grant the re-
quests of the western men, and that
Speaker Cannon is opposed to the re-
tention of the duty as it stands at pres
ent.
The ways and means committee at
first decided TO reduce the tariff on
lead in ores fl ON l l-2 per cent TO l
per cent, and the duty on mineral
lead, or bullion, from , Is per cent to
l l-2 per cent. Afterward the COM
mittee agreed to restore the schedule
on lead in ores to 1-2 per cent, but
let the reduction on mineral lead or
bullion stand.

Ore Averages zoos Sack.

All sorts of sensational reports have
been received this week from the Crit
tenden & Delameter lease of the Chief
of the Hills. One party vouched for
% a pan Mornings, while countless
stories have been going the rounds of
gold galore. Undoubtedly most of these
reports have to do with exceptional
pieces, rather than the average, which
of itself should satisfy the most ardent.
Actual conditions are substantially as
follows:
For fully 40 feet a four-inch streak
has been opened up which it is esti-
mated will crowd 20OS sack. AS for
hornings-well, 4OOOs free-gold ore in
the pan, given an eye assay, permits
of a wide range of results.
To gain depth on this remarkable
showing the leasers have now gone
down the hill and are continuing in an
old tunnel, which should first tap the
ore at a depth of 70 or so feet. AS the
tunnel is continued additional depth
will be gained rapidly. Over the hill
from the portal of the tunnel the vein
measures four feet on the surface, but
does not run so high in values.-Search-
