probably true that once in a while
a freak advertising stunt pans out,

yield in profits as much as it costs,
but it Is invariably fact that the

quantity of gray matter expended on
a scheme of that character would,

One of the best prohibition meas
ures presented to the legislature is
from Senator Silver, who has in
PRODUCED bill to prohibit one per-

a long ways towards bringing about
less inebriety and would put a stop
to much useless extravaganza. Ii
is a move toward real temperance.

Three million pounds of sugar had been manufactured by the South western Sugar & Land company of Glendale, near Phoenix, up to last week. At the local rate this amount is worth SlS3, ,000 The factory will run till after the first of the month, when it will close for the season says Phoenix exchange. It is ex- pected the tonnage of beets will amount to between 25,OOO and 3O,OOO tons.
 The product of the Glendale factory is the finest in the country. Jobbers to whom the sugar has been sent pronounce it of high grade and very satisfactory, and the company feels hattered that the first seasons is so successful.
 The company will plant 1000 acres of beets next year, which will be about all the plant can handle. The pay roll of the factory amounts to S700 a day for labor. The season will last about so days. Upwards of Sl50,000 will be paid the farmers for beets.

Make New York Copper Center.

Following the recommendation of the White committee to Governor Hughes, the reform committee of the New York metal exchange, it was learned last week proposes in the report which it has submitted to the board of managers that the com mittee of quotations be abolished.
 The reform committed believed that quotations should be established by actual transactions, as on other exchanges of the highest order and therefore urges discontinuance of the present daily quotations made by the committee of five of the metal eX- change, which were criticised in the report of the special committee ap- pointed by Governor Hughes.
 The report of the reform committee advocates further the establishment in that city of standard copper system under which all the present brands of copper -"Electrolytic, 7" flake" and "casting''- included under the one term of Standard cop per" subject to the following specliica- tions as to delivery on contract:
 "Sellers will have the option of making deliveries either in class A refined copper, assayed at not less than 99 per cent and below 99.30 per cent in actual contract price.
 "Class B-Refned copper, assayed not less than 99.3O per cent and be- low 99.S0 per cent at one-tenth cent per pound above contract price.
 "Class C-Assaying not less than 99.S0 per cent at If cent per pound above contract price.
 "Class D-Rough copper subject to d rebate of 3 8 cent per pound from contract price.
 It is believed by the members of the committee that under this system there could be no corner in metal.
 It is hoped by the establishment of this standard to make New York in time the copper center of the world, it being pointed out that in 1908, 55.4 per cent of the copper yield of the world was in this country.

Big Silver Nugget Found Along PinaI.

A boulder containing at least 200 ounces of silver and valued at some thing like slOO, was recently picked up along the banks of the Pinal near Wheatfelds. The lucky finder was J. p. Ballard, a well known mining man of the district. The boulder was trife larger than a good sized cocoanut, and was copper stained. It was placed on display and at tracted great deal of attention.
 MT. Ballard reports finding consid- erabIe float of this character, but this is the largest and richest rock he has yet discovered. Several years ago a boulder of the same de- scription, only a great deal larger, was found in a field in the same locality. It was smelted and netted the finder a snug little fortune. There is undoubtedly a very rich ledge in the neighborhood of these finds which will be opened by some persevering prospector.

Copper Belle Ships Two Carloads Daily.

George K. Reed, superintendent of the Shannon Copper Co.'S. interests at Gleeson, was in Tombstone last week, being called there on business connected with the company. MT. Reed stated that the Copper Belle, one of the Shannon group of claims, is now shipping two carloads of ore daily to the smelters at Clifton and that work is progressing very satis- factorily. He further stated that the Southern Pacific has built spur to the mine, which greatly facilitates the handling of ore, which heretofore had to be hauled d considerable dis tance by wagon. MT. Reed is very enthusiastic oyer the outlook for the Gleeson district and is confident that it will become a great bullion pro- ducing camp.

Gigantic Deal Causes A Stir in Old Pueblo

The sudden acquisition of mining claims in the Ajo district by what are supposed to be the biggest copper in terests in the United States give rise to the belief that the reported cam paign among three or four of the large corporations of the country to gain the upper hand in the copper market, will effect Arizona probably more than any other copper section in the United States, stimulating and eleyating business to level that it has never before attained in this ter ritory. It is said that the Ajo dis trict is not alone effected, but claims and mining properties are being Literally ''gobbled up" in all sections of the territory by the big corpora tions which are reported to be the Guggenheims, the American Smelt- ing and Refining and others. The recent acquisition of claims and trans fer of property in the Ajo district also gives rise to the belief that Ajo will experience the next beginning boom in the southwest.
 During the past three weeks, nearly 150 new claims have been staked out by representatives of the "big fel- lows'' in the Ajo district. At twenty acres to.the claim, this is more than 25O0 acres of mineral ground taken up in less than a month. According to advices received iu the city last week, a representative of one of the big concerns staked out 100 claims in two days, receiving for his work $100 d claim. His compensation, of course, is not given authentically, but it is a matter of record that one man in two days located 100 claims in the Ajo district.
 Besides this great quantity of loca- tion work, options have been taken on several of the large properties operating in that district. Among these is the Kendall Ore and Reduc- tion company. It is reported that options have been taken on the prop erty of that concern and that opera IlOuS Ou du SSdlC VII OOS III immediately. The Chamberlain prop critics and the Childs workings are also involved, it is said, it being re- ported that representative was sent down from Los Angeles to make the deal with the operators of the Childs' properties. Options on other prop critics have also been made and it is reported that interests are endeavor- ing to secure control of the Cornelia Copper company, one of the best pro- positions in the district. It is authori- tatively stated that at least Sl,000, 900 is involved in recent transactions in the Ajo district and it is reported that one deal alone involves S750,000 The people Of Ajo are jubilant over what has transpired in the camp re- gently and there is a great real estate boom on in that little place at the present time, in anticipatio of Ajo growing to be one of the largest mining camps in the southwest.-Tuc- son Citizen.

NEW RATE PLAN.
Believed Proposition Will Appeal 10
 Railroads and Shippers.

To the Arizona Railway commis- sion, especially M. o. Bicknell, its rate-making genuis, should be credit ed the initiation of a movement that is of first importance to shippers iu this territory, and, secondly, that is new and novel in the history of rate making. It is designed to establish wherever the plans of the commits sion are followed, a more rquitable basis for compiling rates than has hitherto been employed by railroad commissions, railroad rate makers, or anybody else. The detail work has been under the direction of MT. Bicknell, who has been busy upon it for many weeks. The commission stands sponsor for it, and petitions embracing the plan with accompany ing schedules for illustration and comparison, have been printed and forwarded to every railroad company in Arizona, with a request for the adoption of the plan.
 It is believed by the commission that once practically tried out and adopted in Arizona, the use of the same plan will be found desirable by railroads generally as more equitable between shippers and railroads, and creating d more fair and reasonable relationship between commodities.
 The petition sets forth very terse- ly the argument for the adoption of the proposed rate making basis, and the schedules offered for comparison are most interesting. Bat for those who are too busy to figure out for themselves what the changes mean, MT. Bicknell was asked to state in general way what the reductions would amount to if the plau be adopted. He said, for example, that the average decrease in freight charges on the following lines would be as follows:
 Arizona Southern, 27 per cent.
 Arizona & California, 19.5 per cent.
 Santa Fe main line, 24 per cent.
 Fl Paso & Southwestern, 35.6 per cent.
 Gila Valley, Globe & Northern, fl per cent.
 Maricopa & Phoenix, g. per cent.
 Prescott & Eastern, 22.5 per cent.
 Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix, 31 per cent.
 Southern Pacific, 42.7 per cent.
 United Verde & Pacific, 13.2 per cent.
 The other railroads of the terri tory are in like proportion, the above principal lines being mentioned specifically in his illustration.

The accommodations for animals along the line of the Southern Pacific railway, Tucson division, is ample, as will be seen by the record of stock pens at points, not adding the Gila Valley, Arizona-Colorado and Mari copa branches. During the season of 1909, closed July l, over 800 carloads of cattle were moved off the division coast and Colorado points, the eastward movement being largely from Wilcox and stations east of that shipping point.
