MILLER SECURES FUNDS WHICH
 INSURE EARLY DEVELOPMENT
Gets Plenty of Means to Push Work at Once on Property of
 Southwestern Mining Company Near Cananea Mexico.

After an absence of several months in England and continental Europe for the purpose of raising funds for prose cution of work on the property of the Southwestern Mining company. near Cananee. David Miller. of South Bend, Ind. was in the city yesterday. He left last evening for Phoenix to spend about fortnight
 Following his return from the cap ital active development of the South western property will be recon menced. Ample funds were raised by Mir. Miller while in Europe to carry on the work on an extensive scale and his plans for the immediate future contemplate a force of 100 men to start with. The debts of the com pany. which was heavily involved at the time of the close down. during the panic of 1907, have all been paid and it is with freedom from monetary obligation that development will re start.
 Previous to the close down of the property. considerable work had been done with very good shwing of ship ping grade of copper ore.
 All that is neded, in Mir. Miller's opinion, to make the mine paying

proposition from this time on, is a railroad line in the immediate yiein ity. This will be obtained ia case the Cananea- Douglas line is put through. From all appearances this line is not to be built however, and MT. Miller is in a quandry as to when shipment can be commenced. The ore haul to any railroad is too long to make it a paying proposition, as they now run. the northern line of the property be-. ing six and the southern fifteen miles from the nearest railway. For this reason nothing but development will be done for the present.
 ar. Miller in speaking of Europ- can and English financial conditions, especially the latter, stated that from an American point of view they are becoming better all the time. Al though somewhat shaken by the panic of two years ago. confidence in Am erican securities is returning while English capitalists have little faith in the Liberal government. This was amply reflected by the recent defeat of the budget. the pet project of the Liberals. For this reason American or other foreign securities are in high favor.

laid for distance of five kilometers beyond Magdalena. Seven kilometers more will carry the line to the bar rancas. No more construction will be done in that state until the bar ranca contract is let.
 c. J. Breck, of San Francisco. Is now revising the two lines surveyed through the barrancas of the Sierra Madre and he will be unable to com plete the work until after the first of the year. It is stated, however. that the barranca contract will be let at the earliest possible date, as the Southern Pacific management is anxious to have the heavy construc- tion under way. The survey between the Santiago river and the city of Topic Is also being revised, and 1t will be after the first of the year be- fore work in that territory is resum- ed on an extensive scale. It has been definitely decided to cross the Santi- ago river seven kilometers above San uago Ixcuintla, and a tramway will have to be built to give that important Topic town connection with the rail- road.
 The Southern Pacific line up the Yaqui river valley in Sonora will be to Tonichi during the pres ent month, and immediately after the government inspection the line will be opened to that point Since No vemter Is trains have been in opera ton as far as La Dnra.

DOUGLAS, Dec, I6.-(Special. )-
 To become manager of the Old Do ninion Mining company at Globe, c. H. Doweil left this afternoon for that city, accompanied by Walter Douglas, general manager of the Copper Queen, who is also exercising general super vision over the Globe property in the absence of his father, Dr. James S. Douglas.
 Before leaving Douglas Mir. Dowell received the congratulations of all his friends who had learned of his pro motion. Mir. Dowell has been with the Copper Queen smelter in this city for five years. He came here as an accountant in the metallurgical de partment of the smeiter and had charge of the bookkeepers there for two years. For three years he had charge of the ore buying department, and in this capacity he has visited all the mining camps in southern Ari- zona and northern Mexico and become familiar with all the copper ores pro duced in this section and had oppor- tunity to study every method of re- duction. He is regarded as a man perfectly capable for the duties to which he has been promoted and as signed.
 Mr. Dowell takes the position with the Old Dominion which was vacated by Mir. Hegardt two months ago. Since the retirement of Mir Hegardt, as manager Of the Old Dominion, that

BOSTON PAPER SEES BETTER
 OUTLOOK
Believes Country Has Taken on More Optimistic Tone and Asserts that as Year Closes Prospects Brighten,

he Boston News Bureau, comment. ing on business conditions and ou.- look for the future says:
 "The opening of Congress has been followed by ia feeling of relief in both financial and business circles as it has become evident from the text of the Presidents message and inter views with the leaders of Congress that we are to have a businesslike session devoted to rounding out and improving laws regulating corporation and the railways, but without any radical persecution of corporate or financial interests. What will be un- dertaken will be done in reasonable and sane manner so that the business of the country will not be disturbed. It is not certain, furthermore tha: Congress will do anything along these lines although it would seem better to encourage reforms of such char. acter rather than eventually deal with the radical element.
 At any rate. the country has taken on more optimistic tone and as the year draws to close there is conf dence everywhere and great activity in manufacturing plants. The gov ernment crop report gives promise of the largest winter wheat output next year we have ever had, although, ob- viously there is not much to be count ed on at this time. except a good start The final report on cotton, confirms the pessimistic reports of private interests, but with the amount carried over from last year there is no danger of falling short of supply sufficient b fiji the wcsid's require ments.

property has been going forward un- der the temporary direction of George Kingdom, the mining superintendent of the company.
 The Old Dominion is one of the pio- neer copper companies of Arizona The enterprise dates back to the sew enties. Before the Old Dominion started to mine copper the Globe dis trict had been noted as a silver dis trict and ia the early days yielded large quantities of the white metal In some of the gulches around Globe silver nuggets were found of immense size and of pure metal.
 Before the building of the railroad to Globe the Old Dominion had a spasmodic career. so far as produc-
 ton was concerned. All the sup plies, including coke and coal, were hauled from Wilcox on the Southern Pacific railroad, a distance of 135 miles.
 Several years ago the Phelps-Dodge interests secured a large holding in the Old Dominion and since then the property has been under the super vision of that company A modern new plant was erected by the new a concentrating mill be- ing added. all completed under the direction of Dr. Ricketts before he went with the Greene-Cananea com pany.
 Since the completion of the new plant the old Dominion has increased It's output and during the past year has maintained a position as a favor ite on the stock board
 The friends of Mir. Dowell are con ndent that he will be able to keep up the reputation of the Old Domia- lon company at Globe and he leaves Douglas bearing the best wishcs Of a large circle of friends.

ARIZONA LEADS IN
 COPPER PROJECTION
MONTANA, MICHIGAN, UTAH, CALIFORNIA, TENNESSEE AND COLORADO RANK IN ORDER.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The geo. logical surveys report on the produc- tion of copper in 1908 prepared by B. S. Butler, is now ready for distri- button by the director of the survey at Washington.
 The mine production, smelter out put, and ref cry production in 1908 exceeded those of 1907. The produc- ton in 1908 by smelters from copper bearing material mined in the United States was 942,570,721 pounds, the next largest, was 917,sO5.6S2 pounds; that for 1907, was 86S, ,966, ,491 pounds.
 The domestic consumption of new copper in 1908 was 4S0,000,000 pounds; of old copper 23,000,000 pounds making the total domestic consumption 503, 3,0OO, 900 pou ds, against 547,000,000 pounds in 1907. The stock OF hand January i, 1908, was 125,745,796 pounds; on January l, 1909, it was 121, 1,S76,759 pounds.
 The average quoted price of cleo trolytic copper at New York is 1908 was I3.2 cents a pound. In 1907 the price was 20 cents a pound. The com mercial conditions during the year were very stable, the variations in monthly average price covering range of only 1.54 cents, as compared with l1.90 cents in 1907.
 .Anotable feature of the industry was a decrease in cost of production due to Improvements in methods and the increased efficiency of labor.
 Arizona ranks first in the produc- tion of copper. Montana. Michiean. Utah, California, Tennessee, Colorado, Nevada, Idaho ana New Baexleo Iol- low in the order named.

Why We Are Stronger.

The old Greeks and Romans wero
great admirers of health and strength;
their pictures and statuary made the
muscles OF the men stand out like
cords.
AS a matter of fact we have ath-
letes and strong men-men fed on
fine strength making food such as
Quaker Oats-that would win in any
contest with the old Roman or Greek
champions.
It's a matter of food. The finest food
for making strength of bone, muscle
and nerve is fine oatmeal. Quaker
Oats is the best because it is pure, no
husks or stems or black specks. Farm
ers' wives are finding that by feeding
the farm hands plentifully on Quaker
Oats they get the best results in work
and economy. If you are convenient
to the store, buy the regular size pack
ages; if not near the store buy the

The Fly Nuisance

The Merchants Association com
mittee on Pollution, New York, is
sending out the following rules for
dealing with the fly nuisance, and
thinking it of general interest, we re-
produce it. Here it is:
Keep the flies away from the sick,
especially those i'll with contagious
diseases. XIII every fly that strays in
to the sick room. His body is covered
with disease germs.
Do not allow decaying material OF
any sort to accumulate on or near your
premises.
All refuse which tends in any way
to fermentat OF, suoh as bedding straw,
paper waste, and vegetable matter,
should be disposed of or covered with
lime or kerosene oil.
Screen all food, whether in the house
or exposed for sale.
Keep all receptacles for garbage
The Ellensburg dawn. [volume] (Ellensburg, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1909-09-16

carefully covered and the cans cleaned
or sprinkled with oil or lime.
Keep all stable manure in vault or
pit. screened or sprinkled with lime,
oil or other cheap preparations, such
as are sold by Il number of reliable
manufacturers.
See that your sewage system is in
good order; that it does not leak, is up
to date and not exposed to flies.
Pour kerosene into the drains.
Burn or bury all table refuse.
Screen all windows and doors, espec-
tally in the kitchen and dining room.
If YOU see flies. you may be sure that
their breeding place is in nearby filth,
1t may be behind the door, under the
table or in the cuspidor.
If there is no dirt and filth there
will be no flies.
If there is nuisance in the neigh
borhood write at once to the health
department.
TO KILL FLIES-The London "Ian-
cet," the leading medical journal OF
the world. says that the best and sim
plest fy-killer is weak solution of
formaldehyde in water Two teaspoon
fuls to the pint Place in plates or
saucers throughout the house. Ten
cents worth of formaldehyde will last
an ordinary family all summer. II has
no offensive smell, is fatal to disease
organisms, and is practically non
poisonous except to insects
Pyrethrum powder, which may be
bought at any drug store, burned in
the house will also kill flies.

BE SANITARY.

BE sanitary and be sane is the

Either way would suit the present

never was a time when this town had
greater need of sanitation than right
now. Summer is at hand. with its
usual accompaniment of disease dis
seminating dust, flies and mos
quitoes. These three agencies cause
more sickness and deaths than al
most any other three disease breed

cal science. By using proper rene
dies, they may all be eliminated and
life made, not only safe, but COM
Portable Oil the streets once a
month, and the dust will be laid.
Clean up the streets, alleys and
stables and the flies will no longer
find breeding places or filth with
which to poison people Drain the
standing water and enforce the city
regulation for covering cisterns and
other water reservoirs, and the mos
quitoes will no longer plague people
or threaten them with malaria. Steps
should be taken without a moments
unnecessary delay. to inaugurate a
vigorous and systematic sanitation
