 The new Miami extension was in- spected and, after trip to the new shelter of the Arizona Commercial Cop per company. which was blown Tn yes terdav. the work which is in progress on the Arizona Commercial line was looked over, Mir. Boucher, one of the contractors, accompanying MT. Mcclure.
 Mcclure expressed himself as being highly pleased with the work winch has been done and which is now under way in this district.
 New plans will be drawn up at once for the line through Globe, which will connect with the Miami extension. The grading work necessary to raise the tracks will be done by contract It is probable. however, the yiaduct across Broad street at Bankers Garden will be done by the employees of the Gila Val ley railroad.
 Some little time will be required to draw up the necessary plans for this work and secure the steel for the new viaduct. As result, active work on the new connecting link will probably not be commenced until about the first of next year.
 MT. Mcclure will return to Tucson this morning.

After five hour ride over the Cha Valley line on special train, \, l.. Amster arrived in Globe early. this morning.
 MT. Amster arrived at Bowie from the east last night. Owing to lack of time, he found it advisable to make the run from Bowie to Globe op-a special and as result, he did not wait for the regular train, this afternoon.
 He is accompanied by several friends from the east.
 MT. Amster's s special was made up at Bowie, Manager J. w. Bennie of the Arizona Commercial Copper company and Attorney c. L. Rawlins, did not join him at that point.
 Amster will probably leave Globe early next week, as it is understood that he will make but a'short stay here.

 The falling off was largely in the re- duced output from the Old Dominion shelter, that company having discon- tinued the treatment of Black Warrior Copper company ores, which return about SO0,O00 pounds per month.
 New production in October should come in from the Arizona Commercial Copper eompany's shelter.
 One serious obstacle to an improve ment in the copper situation has been the intense antagonism existing between the Amalgamated or United Metals sell ing interests, more particularly U. Il. Broughton and the Guggenheim inter ests.
 With 25O,000,000 pounds of copper which cost an average of not over 5 cents per pound to produce, the Gug' genheim interests have proved to be q serious obstacle to the United Metals Selling company's attempts to dominate the copper industry.
 The Guggenheims have been free sell CTS of the metal at all times, and to day all their companies are sold ahead This selling has been in sufficient volume to prevent an advance in prices wnich might have taken place had the United Metals Selling company been in control of the bulk of the copper output as for merly.
 Three years ago the United Metals Selling company controlled D per cent of the copper production of the country Today it controls less than 40 per cent and the Guppenheims control 20 pel cent, but this 20 per cent has been th' disturbing factor and is likely so to con tinue.

WORK PROGRESSING
 ON R0ADBED
In Spite, of Labor Shortage Good Headway Made on
 New A. c. Line

Although the Crandall Construction in charge of the building of the roadbed for the new Arizona Com mercial Copper ~company's new line, have been somewhat impeded in its work through the shortage of labor CTS in this district, the construction of the new line is progressing in good shape.
 Two gangs of about 150 men in all are at work on the line.
 The rock gang is at work at what IS known as Box canyon, about midway between the north and south ends of the road. Quite a considerable stretch of roadbed has been completed at this point
 The second gang is at work at the south end of the line, making cut short distance from the junction with the Gila Valley line and making fill along the valley line tracks, to accom- modate an extra line of rails.
 A dozen wheel scrapers have been shipped from Los Angeles, to be used in the construction of the new road bed. It is expected that this outfit will arrive here early next week, The con sisteney of the soil is such that the or dinary scraper cannot be used to ad vantage and it was found necessary tc ship in "wheelers from the coast as up-to- date machines of this type were not to be had in this district.
 The contractors are of the opinion that unless serious shortage of 1abol developes, the roadbed will be complet ed, ready for the laying, of traci, by the first of the year.

his recall gives color TO the reports
that charges of extravaganza have
been lodged against Yuanshakai.
The American and British minis
ters have abandoned their project to
unite the powers in protest against
disturbing the present policy in China
which was thought to he entertained
in the dismissal of Yuanshaikai. and
this phase of the question is regard
ed ended.
There is some belief that upon the
return of Minister Tangshaohi from
the United States he will be called
upon to resign the honors which he
has attained in many years of high
government service and be sent to
join the recently deposed minister,
this on the ground that he has been
responsible with the latter for much
of the trouble that the new regime
is said to be unearthing. Tangshaohi
went to Washington a few months
ago as the bearer of highly valuable
gifts to the government and presi-
dent from China in recognition of
the part the United States took on
behalf of China in securing reduc-
tion of the indemnity laid because of
the Boxer troubles. He was received
with great acclaim in the United
States and since there has been high
ly honored wherever he appeared. He
is considered one of the ablest Chi
