A joint effort for the Improvement
If the Saginaw river is being made
oy Congressman Loud and Fordney.
They have each introduced a bill APP
propriating 100000 to provide a 20
foot channel from Saginaw bay to
Saginaw. This bill will not pass at
his session OF congress. and 1t was
lot expected to. But ii has served to
open the eyes of the members of the
committee on rivers and harbors.
which was the purpose in introducing
it.
Messrs. Fordney and Loud have un.
1ertaken this project for the primary
purpose of affording an outlet for the
coal of the Saginaw valley coal field.
They say there are 100000 tons of
his coal already in sight, and more
is being developed every day.
What they want at this session Of
congress is a small appropriation for
a survey, and their only hope of get
ing this was in making a strong show
ing of the business situation in the
Saginaw valley.

The CHICAGO Disaster.

A conference of relatives of the men
killed in the burning of the temporary
crib in the lake Wednesday was held
in South Chicago to determine what
religious services should be held for
the dead. A suggestion was made that
a theater be obtained at which clergy
men of all denominations might speak
Another plan suggested Is that the
bodies be taken first to a Protestant
and then to a Catholic church.
The number Of dead is still estimat
ed at between GO and loo.

a state memorial on the famous battle

liberation has not been in vain. An
nouncement is made of the acceptance

$3.50, 900 has been appropriated. There
was lively competition for the first

and effective. The memorial will be
massive double arch, so feet square
and 100 feet high, with granite steps to
a terrace which will give the whole
structure conspicuous and dignified
appearance. There will be bronze pan
els containing the names of officers
and men who took part in the battle,
the idea being TO record every son OF
Pennsylvania so distinguished. Fig
ures of Abraham Lincoln and Andrew
G. Curtin. the latter being the great
war governor" of the state, will flank
one of the arches, bas-reliefs OF artil-
lery. cavalry, infantry and signal men
will be placed appropriately and the
whole will be surmounted by bronze
statue of Victory. The memorial Is to
be dedicated in July 1910, and will add
another notable attraction to the in

Body on the Next Level
Below.

1t always has been a favorire theory
Of the mine operators Of the Star and
North Star mining districts of Beaver
county that nothing but depth was
needed to bring into being liberal and
rich producers of ore. This fact has
been pretty clearly demonstrated in the
Star camp by many active companies,
and it is evident that the CcdarTaIis.
man company of the North Star district
is on the verge OF proving this theory
correct in its neck of the woods.
General Manager S. S. Pond of the
Cedar-Talisman company returned to
Salt Lake City Saturday morning with
a sample of the sort of ore now being
found on the 400foot level of this prop
erty. One small chunk of magnificent
gray carbonate ono which he brought
and there is little need TO have IT as
sayed IL is as rich a sort of ore as
ever came from tins well known prop
osition
Some time ago the management sent
the drift on the 400 foot level into A
large natural cave. This cave was we'll
provided with ore, bqlt it was not
very high grade sort, although, under
normal conditions. it could be shipped
Htullls l'hlIHS VII Il olu > 'lSlN
at the property. the management de.
cided to investigate conditions on all
sides beyond this cave, and few feet
of work brought the miners face to face
with splendid ore body. One crossCut
opened the ore for five feet, a second
went into il for three feet. so Mr.
Pond is inclined TO minimize the extent
of the ore until more development is
done, and he calls 1T at least three feet
in width. And he pronoMnccs it the
best find that ever was made In this
mine.
The management is not so concerned
about shipping some of this rock to
the local smcltcrs as it is in hurrying
the work on the 500-foot level 10 open
the same shoot al that depth. Mr., Pond
says that so much work has been done
on the 500 level already that 1T will he
only n short time until this ore is
tapped. Should II show up on the 500,
and there is no doubt of this. Judging
from present indications, the Cedar
Talisman will be in a mighty happy con
dition. and it will then be in position

WHERE THE CREDIT
FOR SUCCESS BELONGS
Dividing Line Between Eastern
and Western Ends of the
Boston Con.

a prominent stakeholder in the Bos-
ton Consolidated Copper company in dis
cussing the extremely gratifying results
being achieved by the management, on
Saturday expressed the opinion that the
East has overlooked the fact that the
western end of the management de
serves more credit for this condition
than it is securing. He recognizes the
fact that the West has merely done
Its duty, much better than the eastern
end IN many ways, but he positively
frowns down on the effort to place the
credit for present mine conditions where
it does not altogether belong, He says:
THE East apparently believes that
TO Consulting Engineer Jennings belongs
all the credit for the success of the
Boston company that he led the ore
ganization out Of the wilderness. For
instance, eastern circles have intlmated
that since Mr.. Jennings took hold Of the
company The mine has been able to pro-
duce sufficient ore to supply the mill,
while the mill itself is doing good work.
believe Mr.. Jennings will himself
say that the western management at the
mine and mill has worked out its own
down before Mr.. Jennings became Of
ticially identified with the company,
and that he has had very little to sug,
gest for the western end. but a good
deal TO suggest to the eastern end. Dur"
ing the past two years the Boston COM
pany has experienced a severe baptism
of fire. But the difficulties of the com.
pany have been 90 per cent financial
and 10 per cent mine and mill. And
this 10 per cent mine and mill trouble
would have decreased much sooner had
the eastern end handled the financial
matters as it should have done.
81 do NOT mean TO say that Mr.. .Ien-
nings has done nothing in the behalf
of this company. In the East he has
splendid results, and TO
him is due full credit for the financial
which has broken through the
clouds. But what [ desire TO emphasize
is simply this. the western mine and
mill management has brought the mine
and mill TO their present splendid con
dltion. and credit for this should be
given the western officials

BIG NEVADA MERGERS
IN THE NEAR FUTURE

A well-known Nevada mining opera
for is of the opinion that the remaining g
months of the year will see much merg-
ing of mining properties IN the various
Nevada camps. He points out that
when Il camp is new il is not an easy
matter to interest capital in mining
propositions but let half dozen prop
ositions make good, and the owners
soon have "A flock of men of money
around them, wanting to buy and con"
solidatc everything within a square
mile of everywhere else.
There are numerous instances Of this
consolidation fever now apparent.
George Wingfield. the head of tho Gold
field Consolidated company, which, by
the way. is a standing illustration of
the wisdom of merging the right prop
critics, has an option on the Nevada
Hills property Of Fairvicw which he
will exercise or refuse within The next
few days. If the deal is consummated
successfully, il means n consolidation
Of the Nevada Hills with other Fair
view properties.
Even the camp known as Yerington
but whose proper name is the Mason
Mining district, is reported or thought
TO have the merger fever, and the staid
and dignified Mason Valley is thought
10 bc flirting with the Bluestone, or
per properties extending along the east
crn side of the range containing the
Mason copper mines which ought 10
Join the Mason Valley Bluestone alli-
ance, iu case the latter really is a go.
The Mason Valley company ought 10
own the Yerington Malachite and the
Western Nevada Copper properties any
how. and the merging fever may spread
to this extent some of these soon days.
This Nevada operator says, also. that
there are rumors Of mergers in the
Round Mountain district. and. in fact,
everywhere throughout the state that is
blessed with good mineral sbowings
Capital entering Nevada wants acreage
rs we'll as mineral, and the few claims
which satisfied the early locator and
developer by no means satisfy the man
of big affairs. So some very inter
csting news during the balance Of the
year is anticipated of Just such deals.
