CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington, April 21.-No senator
ng prepared % speak on the tariff
bill as a whole, the reading of the
measure by paragraphs was begun.
Various items in the chemical sched-
ule were passed over for future con-
sideration. The reading was frequent
ly interrupted by the discussion Of
amendments and only Is pages of the
bill were disposed of. Senator Cum
Minis presented his income tax provi-
sion and discussed it at length. In
presenting the resolution Mr. Cum
min said that if any tax were levied
on corporations it would be extremely
difficult to classify corporations to
meet the requirements of the consti-
tuition. He declared that the gradu-
ated income tax on corporations
would result in great corporations
paying the highest rate although
their stock might be largely held by
men of small means. In that way the
result might be to place the highest
on men of small incomes.

Washington, April 22.-The house
was in session 40 minutes but took no
action on the census bill, the only i'm
portant business which it had before
it for consideration. Mr. Crun-
packer of Indiana, chairman of the
census committee, endeavored to
have the house insist further upon its
disagreement from the senate amend
ments, but the absence of a quorum
prevened such action. For the same
reason no conferees were appointed.
The house adjourned until Monday.
Criticism in Senate.
Republican criticism of the pending
tariff bill on the ground that rates are
too high was prominent in the senate
when, Mr.. Nelson of Minnesota, and
Mr. Dolliver of Iowa, attacked various
schedules.
Under the guise of discussing gas
retorts a general debate On the tariff
was INDUCED in by the democratic
senators, Mr.. Bailey of Texas, taking
occasion to say that the bill was dis
criminatory against the south

European beaver has nearly gone; the
European bison was represented by a

The American bison was reduced to a

The destruction of the fur seal
threatened to soon be complete, and
the Greenland sealing industry was
now nearly a thing of the past, so few
seals were there, though 40 years ago
they were being killed at the rate of
100000 a year. Whales were also dis

year by British whalers, and the

were also disappearing.
At the present time certain Norwe-

GLOBE DISTRICT
CONTINUES
ACTIVITY

The following from the Silver Belt
tells OF the mining industry of the
Globe district:
One of the most important events
in the annals of Globe mining district
will occur tomorrow morning when
the arge and fully equipped smelter of
the Arizona Commercial Copper com
pany will be blown in. For several
months a strong force of men, incird
ing structural steel workers, mechan
les, carpenters and other skilled work
men have been employed in the con-
struction of the new plant and the
results have been all that the com.
pany anticipated, for the new smeltel
will be able to open for the receiving
of ores with an equipment second to
none in Arizona, so far as modern
machinery and general design is con.
cerned.
During the past few days, the force
has been hard at work in an effort to
complete the smelter previous to the
month and in this it has been success
full.
The new smelter will blow in with
a full supply of lime, coke and flux.
ing material on hand, so that any ores
received can be readily handled. The
company has ready for smelling
considerable quantity OF ore taken
chiefly from the sixth level of the
Eureka shaft, where a large force of
is now at work breaking down ore of
good commercial grade from the
numerous slopes that have been be-
gun within the past few days. Much
of this ore will run as high as 10 per
cent in copper.
When the smeIter blows in, its fur
mace will have a capacity of abort
500 tons day. The lime necessary in
the treatment of ores is obtained
about two miles down the canyon
from the smelter and along the Arizona
Commercial line of railway.
During the past week, the pumping
Iof the water from the seventh level
of the Eureka shaft has been finished
and a station for the installation o.
IA new and powerful pump is being
cut The pump is now on the ground
and as soon as it is in place, drifting
will probably be commenced on the
seventh level.

ATTACHMENT


TUCSON, Oct. ia sensation was
sprung yesterday when the machin-
cry and ali other effects of the Ponto
toe Copper Co. were seized by the
attaches of the Pima county sheriffs
office under a writ OF attachment IS
sued to satisfy alleged Indebtedness
of the corporation to C. d. DALEY, well
known mining man of this county.
Daily is seeking the payment of SiS47
which he alleges is due him as salary
since March, 1909.
The writ was drawn against the Pom
totoc Copper Co., E. F. Simms, ]. Fl.
Bass and J. NJ. Eastman, officers Of
the concern, According to Daily
statement. an arrangement was made
last spring between himself and the
officers of the company whereby. he
has devoted his entire time to the de
velopement of the properties having
complete charge of that work, a st.p-
ulated salary having been named as
his compensation. When his first pay
check was due, it was not forthcoming
ana subsequent payments were like
wise ignored. His action is suing out
a writ Of attachment came only after
he had made repeated attempts to col
lect the money.
The Pontotoc Copper Co., is sid to
be backed by wealthy capitalists and
their failure to pay Daily's salary is
more interesting on this account.

The following is taken from the
Boston News Bureau. of recent date.
General Manager Walter Douglas. Of
he Copper Queen. confirms the state
ment that the Indisna-Sonora has
passed to the ownership of the
Greene-Cananea company:
There is good basis for the re
cent advance in the shares of the
GreeneCananea company. In the first
place. the company has practically
concluded negotiations for the pur'
chase of the Indiana-Sonora Mining
company. which has about 400 acres
adjoining and practically surrounded
by the Greene-Cananea property
Consent to Sell
'sFor some time Phelps, Dodge &
company have been the dominant In
terest in the Indiana-Sonora company
and while confident as to it's ore val
ues, have consented to sell their
holdings to the Greene-Cananea com.
pany and to receive stock OF the
Greene company in the ratio of 1
share for IL shares of Indiana-So-
nora, provided all stockholders were
granted the same terms.
1T is believed by the Greene man
zgement that the acquisition of this
property will be of material benefit
in adding valuable ore supplies and
that it win be accomplished without
the necessity of increasing the share
capital.
a report made on the Indiana-So-
nora property some time ago estl-
mated the probable ore at between
5000, 600 and 100000 tons. and at
that time approximately $780, 900
had been expended in development
and equipment
Lower Freight Rates
Another important development
has been the reduction in freight
rates secured from the Southern Pa
cific company. which. it is estimated,
will reduce Greene-Cananea copper
costs one cent per pound.
For long time the company has
been at the mercy of alleged extor.
ions on the part of the Southern
Pacific Failing to secure lower
rates, the Greene company threaten,
I'd to build a railroad line of its own
and to this end surveys were made
and concessions were secured. These
concessions were vigorously opposed
by the Southern Pacific. which did AZ
that 1t could to defeat their confirma
lion by the Mexican government. The
treene company finally won out, Sc
ured the necessary confirmation and
| hen the Southern Pacific consented
name such rates for the Greene
| Cananea ores as will obyiate the ne
,essity for the construction of an in

"Greene-Cananea is making it:
copper at the present time at a cost
of about 10 cents per pound. The
cost per ton of ore including mining

about $3.50 and the ore-smeltins

J far from ~ pounds per ton.
