Washington D. G. March,
Wisconsin was the stealing force
which resulted in the Insurgent
force rallying in the splendid and
courageous fight which it made
against Cannonis N. If it had not
been for the support which the
delegation from the Badger State
gave and it's refusal to be put to
rout at the most critical moment
in the battle it is probable the
Insurgents would have gone to
pieces early last week and the
whole movement would have
collapsed.
Early in the week both sides
to the controversy appealed to
President Taft for support. The
Insurgents and the organization
representatives were at the White
House at the same time. Mr..
Mann the representative of the
Speaker was given an interview
of fortyfve minutes while Repre-
sentatives Gardner, Nelson. and
Madison the Insurgent com nit
tee was told to come back at some
ether time. When they returned
they learned that the President
was fearful lest a fight upon the
Speaker and the rules at this
time might not result in a defeat
of tariff revision. The President
said he was more concerned that
the pledge of the party to revise
the tariff should be fulfilled than
that the rules of the House
should be revised. He recognized
the need of revision of the rules
but thought it could wait.
The attitude of the President
was like a wet banket to the In
surgents, they had counted upon
active support or at least an
absolutely neutral position from
the white house. 1t seemed for
a few hours as though the move.
ment against the rule would go to
pieces. The Cannon men were
jubilant. They announced that
they were victorious. What are
you to do? This question was
put to every insurgent.
81 shall vote against the pre-
sent rules no matter what may
happen, said Representative
Cooper and he showed his cour.
age by. offering the use of his
room as place for the lnsur-
gents from all the states to meet.
Representatives Nelson and
Morse and Cary were equally
emphatic. Representative Len
root of the new men said if he
was the only insurgent who
would vote against any COM
promise he would stand alone.
Representative Kopp the other
new member from Wisconsin
also kept his courage up and pro-
claimed his determination to
stand. All of these and Repre-
sentative Esch attended the meet
ing of the Insurgents which was
held in Mr.. CoOper's room and
at which it was determined to
fight for more representative
House no matter who stood in
opposition.
All OF these were in the city
when the caucus was held except
Represen tatlve Esch who had
been called home because of the
illness of his father and not one
of them attended the caucus.
Representative Kuestermann
was also out of the city. Repre-.
sentatives Sutherland Davidsons
names do not appear in the lists
of those who did not attend the
meeting and the names of those
who did attend were not publish
ed.
Had Wisconsin weakened at
the critical moment it would have
been bad for insurgency. It
stood like a rock and made the
fight which was made upon Can
nonism possible.

James w Wester. superintendent of
 the New York-ArizOna Gold and Cop
 per company. visited Clifton this week on business connected with the
 company. MT. Wester has been asso- ciated with the company almost ever since it's organization. ana has seen
 IL develop from a small coDcerS to one 0f the most promising compan-
 ics of the Morenci district. He re- ports that the company is now in a
 most fiourishing condition. and is of the opinion that the close Of this year
 will find the New Iork-Arizona com
 pany among the gold producers Of this section. The company has decid- ed to install q 15-horse power gasoline engine and air drills. in order that de
 velopment work may be- carried on
 more rapidly and at cheaper mining cost Installation work is now well
 under way. This machinery will be installed on the Lillian claim. on which
 a tunnel 1670 feet long has already been driven. The face of this tunnel
 Is now under the Buzzard Shadow
 claim, which has produced gold ore valued at $50 900 to the ton. The tun- mel will be driven another 200 feet, at which point sinking win be com
 menced. When the tunnel reaches this point a depth Of more than 900 feet will have been attained In driv- ing this tunnel a numoer of small veins have been crosscut which gave excellent gold values. The company is now confining all work to this one claim. which will enable them to se- cure more permaneni results at cheap CT cost than under the old system of working in various places. Both Ar.

 BOSTON. Jan. 1S.-The New lOIA Journal of Commerce publishes an article this morning stating that the surplus supply of copper ill the world is over six hundred million pounds.

tAoipti istd-t
 The mineral resources Of the Cliff on-Morenci mining district have been presented in the newspapers time and again, but capitalists so far have failed to respond and instead of inves- tigating the many good propositions in this district, they go to the othet booming camps and invest their mon cy. The Clifton MoIenci district is one of the heaviest copper producers in the territory and when it comes to permanency, it is second to none in the world. The larger companies of the district are gradually increasing their outputs and today each one of them has more ore in sight than at any time in it's history. Figures tell the tale During the year 1908. when the p.ice of copper ranged low, many other districts failed to main tain their outputs, while the Clifton Morenci district really showed an in l crease. Our output for last year in round numbers reached 10000, 900 pounds. And with a price of fifteen cents this year we could easily pro duce an additional z0.0O0.00 pounds, as none of the big companies are op- erating their smeIters at full capaci- ty. In addition 10 the properties own ! ed by the big companies there arc many smaller ones waiting for the Investment of capital tO develop them Much better prospects and cheaper mining costs are the two leading ad- vantages this district has over others and when this fact becomes generally known among eastern capitalists. the | Clifton Morenci district will advance
 even more rapid than any of our IeighbOring camps.

wonderfully rich at the start; the pur- chasers shipping enough high grade ore to pay s200.000 for the property before they erected the mill for the treatment of the ore on the ground. Messrs Smith and Swertling secured lease on the property several years ago and the first thing they did was to treat the old mill tailings by the cyanide process and cleaned up a handsome profit. Afterwards they succeeded fin getting the mine and be- gan mining and milling the ore. That this camp will be connected by rail road with Douglas ir the future is be- lieved to be certain: this will either occur by the extension of the Southern Pacific south from Pearce, its present terminus. or by the extension of the Arizona and Colorado from Courtland north.
 Gleason Wia Help.
 Another important camp which must not be overlooked and which will become directly tributary to Douglas by a branch of the Courtland railroad is Gleason. This camp has been a regular producer for several years. The Silver Fell property was hti ANh TUT AWO be AAt Aohe1hhOh Copper company and last year they purchased the property under a sale which was made to satisfy a mortgage claim. The ore from the Silver Bell is shipped to the shannon smeIter from Pearce; with the completion oi a direct road into that camp 1t would come via Douglas ana go to the Ari- zona and New Merico line at Hachita instead of at LordsbGrg. as now. fn the Huachucas. While at present there is but it tie work being done in the way Of mine development in the Huachusa mountains, mining men are condent that this district will become an fun. portant producer and when it does its ores will come to Douglas and along

Great Future Is Now Assured. Review of the Situation In the Various Mines of the District.

The CourtIand district gives prom ise now of becoming second to the Warren district in the yield of ore for the Douglas smelters during the pres ent year. Wonderful ore bodies have been developed there during the last six months by the C. &A- and Great Western companies. All who have visited CouTtland agree in the state Inent that for the amount Of work done in the mines Of these two com panies there has never been a better showing made in the territory. Ac- cording to reliable information the Great Western company cut one body of seven per cent copper 16O feet wide and not less than six different shafts In the district are at the pres ent time penetrating ore. The Copper Queen has also secured valuable hold. ings in the district and have started development work on two or three properties. providing hoisting machin- cry and other modern and economical methods in the work

zoo to 500 feet underneath the crop pings. Alter running the tunnel there was a crosscut of 250 feet. which was turned at the contact. and from that point has followed approximately the contact formation lying between tho lime and granite.
 The road from the mouth of the canyon was repaired to the mine and boiler, compressor. Sullivan air drill etc. were installed in order to ex- pedite the work. Machinery was housed in. cabins were built and wood contracted for. The work has been continued through the panic of 1907 and 1908 with the exception of two and a half months of 1908. June. July and up to the middle of August. This shutdown was caused by the burning up of the boiler house. which neces- sitated the rebuilding of the same.
 Since commencing work in 1906 up to the 1st of January. 1909, some $500 feet Of drifts, crosscuts have been driven. showing punches of very high grade copper ore carrying high silver values. The policy of the directors has been to push the main drift ahead as rapidly as possible toward the big cIoppings, going through the different ore bodies with the idea of coming back afterwards and opening up the ore later. However, as the funds on the first of the year were at a low ebb end stock was selling far too low q price, the directors nave agreed ta put ID the expenses for a couple oI months themselves in the hope of bo ing able to get under the big croppings and striking a body of ore high grade enough to pay expenses. They have also advised Superintendent Schultz to come back from the face and start work atsa point in the main tunnel where a large body of low grade orc was exposed. This was apparently oi good size. with spots of glance scatter ed all through it. which not only car ried good copper values. but was also high in silver.
 If it is possible to raise the money by the sale of stock it would seem to be good policy to keep on drifting foI the biz croppings which can not be now over a couple of hundred feet away. If enough money can not be raised to do this, we must come back into the tunnel to the point spoken of and spend the money in opening uu the bodies of ore already encountered There is a large amount of stock still 1 Jeff in the treasury, which. with the present showing in the mine. ought G bring us enough money to enable us | to sink couple of hundred feet on these ore bodies. There is no reason why a bis mine should not be opened ' up here

Courtland say that there are now no less than four hundred wage earners employed in the district. including miners, mechanics and railroad men. The Arizona and Colorado Railroad company are working in the neighbor- hood of one hundred men, grading roadbeds which will connect the va rious shafts in the district with the main line.
 A new tow'nsite is now being clear ed of timber and it is expected that lots will be. offered for sale before the first of next month. A great many people have visited Courtland recent ly and many are figuring on business enterprises in the new town just as soon as lots can be secured. The preliminary survey for the Dougias-Courtland railroad will pass through the townsite which is about one mile this way from the main shaft of the Calumet & Arizona com pany. The townsite being surveyed i., patented ground and is owned bv the Great Western company. but it is un- derstood that the Calumet & Arizona will have an interest in if. and it is known that the work of clearing it olf Is being directed hy Superintendent
 Talobt of that company.
 Conservative estimate puts the mum
 Der of men that will be employed in the Courtland district when the rail
 road is ready to haul away the ore
 mined at one thousand and it is fig ured that this number of miners em- pioyed in the camp will support a town of not less than five thousars. population.
 The Citizens Bank and Trust com pany at Bisbee has already announced the intention of starting a bank at Courtland and it is expected that the weekly newspaper will not be long in giving the Courtland news to the outside world.
 When the new townsite is ready for occupancy it is expected that every.
 thing now on the old site will be
 moved to it. as the ground now occu.
 pied belongs to the companies and ' has not been leased for any definite
 time and those who are there can 1e
