GREENE GOLD GOES BACK
 TO MEXICAN GOVERNMENT
Rrom Sundays DaIly)

frOm sunday DdliyJ
 The concessions from the Mexican government, by means of which the Greene Gold and Silver Company held mineral properties in Chihuahua. have expired, and the rich mines that have been under the control of the Greene company have reverted to the Mexi- can government, says the Fl Paso Her ald
 The concessions expired January l2, and the company made no effort to re- tain them or have them renewed. The Concneno mines, which were taken over by the Greene Gold and Silver some time ago, have also reverted to the original owning company, Corrl- gan, Mckinney & Co.,, of Cleveland, Ohio. The Greene company was un- able to make the second payment of the purchase price of the Concneno mines, which was $1,250,00O. Upon the failure of the company, of which W. c. Greene was the mead, the Cleve- land company took back its holdings in Chihuahua.
 Judge A. B. Fall, who has been closely connected with the Greene ln- terests in the southwest and Mexico, stated that the Greene Gold & Silver company would make no effort to have the concessions on its original prop critics in Chihuahua extended. "The law under which the Mexican govern ment was allowed to grant such con- sessions expired December 1s," said Judge Fall. "The president of Nexl- co has made no effort to have such a law again passed, and it would be i'm possible to have the concessions grant ed again and the holdings of the gold and silver company will revert to the government"
 Judge Fall took the Golden State Limited for the east this afternoon. Before leaving he stated that his trip to Chicago was on business connected with the mining and railroad interests.
 "I will have some interesting news for you in a short time," he said be- fore boarding the train, "but do not care to talk about the matter at this time. I am interested in the properies taken over by the Cleveland company, and nave an understanding with them.'

 No measure introduced so far during the present legislative session has oe- easioned the interest aroused yesterday by the DeSousa memorial It brought to a climax a scandal whiehh as been brewing for over a year, and which now promises to be threshed out at Washington. It is charged that the secretary of the interior is selling to the Pacific Gas and Electric Company power generated at the Roosevelt dam for one and one-half cents per 100 kilowatts and that in turn the cor poration, absolutely entrenehed by the government, is charging the people twenty cents for the identical service. The kernel of the scandal is that the contract was enacted in secret by the agents of the government and officers of the Water Users' Association. This contract was in force one year before it was generally discovered by the farmers themselves. The contract is said to be in violation of the rebate act under which the big corporations of the country have been convicted, inssmueh as it's purpOrt is to kill com petition in the interest of a monopoly.

PROGRESS
 AT ARIZONA CAPITAL
Bills Introduced in Territorial Assembly and Measures That Have Become Statues During Weeks
 Grind of Law Mill.

PHOENIX, Jan. 30.-WOlf's wild animal bounty bill was recommended today for passage by the house com mittee as a whole.
 Amended, it maKes all bounties mandatory on lions, wolves, pumas, partners and bears $10; lynx, cats, skunks and coyotes a dollar, and rab- bits, dogs and gophers five cents.
 Raceoons bring two bits.
 It is sure to become a law.
 In the council, Morgan introduced a bill providing for the marriage and divorce of reservation Indians. One by O'Neill provides to divert fees re- eeived by the secretary of the terri tory from insurance companies into the territorial treasury.
 The council finally passed the me morial for the relief of Pima and Va vapai counties from railroad bond in debtedness, and also bill making re- quirements for jurors in the U. S courts ,the same as in the district courts.
 It also passed bill giving to the probate judge of Yuma county, in ad' dition to a S12OO salary, the fees of county of the third class.
 Democrats were in joint caucus this morning on the ranger bill, which pass ed the council yesterday.
 A bitter fight is developing. Cattle men are fighting it and the Democratic members of Pinal, Coehise and Ora ham counties are for restriction, but others are trying to whip them into line for a strict party vote.

FEAR TRADE LOSSES
New York Merchant Princes Can't See
 Percent in Batting Japan

NEW YORK, Jan. 3O.-At a meet ing of the Board of Trade and trans portation committee on foreign and insular trade it was decided ito re port that the board of merchants of New York appeal to the merchants and manufacturers of all other states to cooperate with them in impessing upon the people of California the un- wisdom of persistent discrimination against the people of Japan"

THE WHINING EXPORTER

California s legislature in apprecia- ton of Nipponese, mas given the e1- porting merchants of New York ex- cruciating pain and in the throes of their torture they have through reso- lutions of various commercial bodies unburdened their anguish to Califor- nians. Translated from resolution stereotype their protest may very well read:
 "You people out there on the Pa eifc coast don't know what you are doing. You are ruining the New York trade with Japan. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. Stop your anti Japanese movement at once. We must protest against it, really we must. t"
 Nothing in the world is quite so touching, as the commercial feelings of New York lacerated. Its one rival IS great fat boy blubbering over the loss of a stick of candy. It probably was best exemplifed at the time when President Cleveland dealing with Ven ezuela very roughly knocked the chip off John Bulls shoulder. But while New York's commercial anguish was probably more hysterieal at that time it did not approach in impertinence the petulance it has shown in this California incident.
 Here is California travailing with a race problem that onyOne who has spent any period in the Golden State thoroughly understands. Here is New York whining to California that they must put up with a situation that is more than irritating, because New York will suffer by any discourtesy to Japan.
 Certainly no nearer than New York could such a protest for such reason emanate. California through any ae- tion against Japan and Japanese would lose dollars to where New York would lose cents. If California is willing to sacrifice this trade for more peace of mind, how pettish indeed is tlis pro- test of commercial New York.

DE soUsA SPRINGS
 ROOSEVELT DAM SENSATION

PHOENIX, Jan. 30.-In the assem- blv De Sousa exploded the long sim mering Roosevelt dam sensation when he introduced a memorial to President Roosevelt and both houses of congress, calling for congressional investigation of the contract entered into in 19O1 by the agents of the secretary of the interior and the Phoenix Gas X Flee trie Lighting Company, wherein the eorporation is given a practical monop- oly of the 5O,OOO h.p. developed by the Roosevelt dam, the cost of which acts as mortgage on every farm under water in the Salt River valley and be- longing to any member of the Water Users Association.
 The introduction of the memorial caused no comment in tne house and was passed by unanimous vote with out roll call. In the council, however, the memorial barely escaped being laid over. Finley of Pima, Goodrich of Cochise, Hampton of Graham, and Norton of Yuma, joining with Breen and Day to lay it on the table for one day.
 When the vote reached President Hunt he promptly made it a tie by voting in the negative. and the me moriaI went to a strict party vote on final passage.
 Briefly stated, the memorial reeites that in the year 1907, the Reelama- tion Service, on the part of the Unit ed States government, entered into certain contract with the Pacific Gas < Electric Company, of Phoenix, relat- ed to the sale of electric power to be generated in the future at the Roose- welt dam under the following terms, contained in article of said contract:
 "Article 9.-That party of the first part (the government) further agrees while serving the party of the second part (Paeifc Gas & Electric Company under the terms of this contract to re- frain from entering into a general re- tail of power to customers in the city of Phoenix, or furnishing power to any one to be sold or retailed, pro vided, however, that the party of the first part shall have the right to sell or lease power in the city of Phoenix at any time in blocks of from 100 to 800 kilowatts and over to be used for manufacturing industries, water works or pumping plants. |"
 The memorial proceeds, "And where as said clause in said contracts creates a monopoly in favor of said Pacific Gas and Electric Company, relieving them from competition and allowing them to charge consumers in the city prices for electric light and power controlled and governed only by their desire and conscience, therefore. be it
 "Resolved, by the twenty-ffth leg islative assembly of the territory of Arizona that we earnestly and respect fully petition and request the senate and house of representatives of the United States in congress assembled to call upon the secretary of the in- terior to produce said contract and all

 The advertising business calls for a good deal of thought. If the govern ment proposes to enter that sphere, 1t should do a little of this thinking on it's own account.

Nothing is deader than dead sen sation, yet there is some languid cu- riosity over the outcome of the com ing Harry Thaw trial-a trial to es- tablish his sanity, if his family's pock- cts and his lawyers can do it. The up-river county in which an effort was made to have the trial has escaped a lot of things, bankruptcy included, for the expense of such a trial, which would require the presence of great number of witnesses, costly experts, etc., woud have been appalling to tax payers.
 New York can stand it; a costly case or two, more or less, is merely a drop in the bucket of the city debt, which goes on getting fuller and fuller. But as to Thaw, the question on the street is. "If he is now adjudged sane, is he to be set free, to become an encouragement to other young men with hair brains and hair triggers? If so, why sol"

NEWS OF THE RAIL
FOR A DAY
RECENT HAPPENINGS OF LOCAL
INTEREST IN THE RAIL
ROAD WORLD.
PUGET SOUND TIME CARD.

The through service is on at last and
when No. / pulled in over the Puget
Sound yesterday that road took at
last its place as a real railroad. There
was no big crowd to greet the train
as there was when the little local
train made its first trip Il month ago
and it is very likely that there was
no one, outide OF the railroad Off
Gals who realized that the coming
train started the through service. So
far as appearances go there will be
no difference between the new train
an the one which it supercedes. No
sleeper service will be given, the
trains both ways stopping for the
night at Maiden, Wash, and dining
room service will be given by the
lunch rooms recently installed along
the road. The train will run to the
coast, however, and it will be but a
short step now to the real transcon-
tinental trains. The road is in the
best of shape. Grading crews have
been working on the track for three
months and the trains run as easily as
If it were an old road
The installing of this service means
a lot and when the last year is re-
viewed 1t seems almost impossible that
the road could have progressed 50
far in so short a time. A year ago
yesterday the whole Missoula divis-
ion was merely Il flood-washed stretch
of mud. From that time to this the
entire division has been rebuilt The
track graded and filled tunnels con-
Structed and bridges erected all in
so short a time that 1t seems almost
impossible. Yesterday the thorough
ness of the completion was shown
by the beginning of through service
and it looks now as though the line
was really finished and ready for OPP

Speaking of fish. Hagerty. the lost.
has been heard from at last. Yester
day a train crew off the Couer d'Alene
brought word that they had seen the
trainmaster standing in the middle OF
Fish creek and fairly scooping the
fish out of the water. The crew
which brought the news was greatly
surprised when they heard that the
refrigerator car had not yet come
down. Why, he had fish enough for
an army" they said and were at
loss for reason for the discrepancy
until they happened to think Of the
chiefs appearance. When they left
him. they said he was fat and hearty
and 50 the only remaining explanation
is that Hagerty is consuming the en-
tire product of his 1abors himself and
that he has not gotten a chance yet
to send any trout down. The first
consignment, however. is billed for
today, according t. n late report
from Rivulet and it looks now as if
