The copper era., 1909-09-30

The spectacular feature of the weeks session of the grand lodge of Independent Order of Odd Fellows took place at Seattle on September 22nd, when 10000 Odd Fellows and Sisters of Rebekah formed in line and marched through the down town streets. The parade was the largest fraternal demonstration ever seen in the northwest. The procession was led by the cantons of the Patriarchs Militant in full regalia. They were followed by the rank and file of the order on foot anl in automobiles. The Rcbekahs were in automobiles, gaily decorated with the colors of the order. It was stated, after At lanta had been selected as the next convention city, that it was the in- tention of the sovereign grand lodge to meet in a foreign city within a few years, probably in Copenhagen in IQII

The Manufacture of Coke.

A report by E. w. Parker, of the United States Geological Survey, on the manufacture of coke in 1908 Is now in press as an advance chapter from "Mineralresourceso of the United States, calendar year 1908." Accord ing to this report, the combined pro- duction of beehive and retort-oven coke in the. United States in 1908 amounted to 26,O33,5lS short tons, valued at S62, ,4S3, ,983, against 40,779,- 564 short tons, valued at S111, ,539, 126, in 1907. In the earlier year the pro- duction exceeded all previous records in the history of coke making in the United States; the average price per ton in that year was also the highest ever recorded. Compared with 1907 the production in 1908 shows a de- crease of IA, TAG, ,O46 short tons, or 36 14 per cent, in quantity, and of. S49 ,O55,- 143, or 43.9S per cent, in value. The average price per ton at the ovens declined from S2.74 to $40 Of the total 1908 output 2l ,S32, ,292 tons, or S3 86 per cent, was produced in beehive ovens and 4,201, ,226 tons, or l6.l4 per cent, in retort ovens. The decrease in beehive coke from 1907 was 13,339, ,373 short tons, or 37.93 per cent, and in by-produrt coke ,406,67 tons, or 25.0S per cent.

The Way the Bulletin Says It Is.

The editor of the Bulletin last week figured that out of $24, 900 gen. eral road money the eastern end of the county received Sl9,000 in 1908. That was going some, but we fail to see where all of that money went. Now to be fair, and we know the Bull letin is such, we would like to know what amounts were spent in the west end during 1907 and 1908. That might give us a chance to strike a balance.-Era.
 For the Bras information we find during the period mentioned that there was expended between the county seat and Stafford about S8, ,O00 in grading and graveling the county road; of this amount S2,O00 was do- hated by the farmers along the route and the towns of Stafford and Sol omonville. In the lower central part of the valley between Thatcher and Pima, some S2,O0O was expended on the roads, and the citizens in that vicinity contributed p per cent of the amount besides the regular levy of S24 ,O00 there was also expended on the different roads of the county the annual personal road tax.

Statehood is Sure Says Delegate Cameron

Statehood is absolutely certain at the next session of congress"
 When Ralph H. Cameron, Arizona's s delegate in congress, said these words last week there was a light in his eye which showed that he had re- solved to do everything in the power of one man to secure Arizona's ad- mittance to the sisterhood of states, says the Phoenix Gazette.
 ''What are your reasons for being so certain upon that point" he was asked.
 "The administration is with us, , was the reply. "The president is go- ing to peel off his coat and see that Arizona is given justice. Statehood for Arizona and New Mexico is one of the blanks of the republican plat form, and President Taft Is deter mined to see that the pledges Of the party are carried out"
 ''Wlll the president advocate state hood in his next message to congress?''
 ''I would not like to make any state ment to that effect, as he never told me that he would do so, but I don t think there is any doubt about it."
 "What is the attitude of congress on the question of statehood?"
 "The sentiment in both houses is overwhelmingly in our favor. When the senate and house of representa- tives get around to it, Arizona will be given statehood"
 "Will they get around to it early in the next session ?''
 "No, don't think it will be before next spring. There are other mat ters of great importance which must be disposed of first. Along in the spring sometime, satisfactory bill will reach its final passage and be signed by the president"

The barri- cade was rudely put up and the ma chine went through it and the party went into the hole some twelve feet deep. Mrs. Schell was injured inter nally, having been caught under the machine, while one other member of the party had a collar bone broken.

Sullivan Shaft of COrdOya.

Vice-president and General Man. ager Hoval A Smith, of the Cordova Copper company, returned from a trip to Phoenix and visited the Cor dova and Live Oak properties in the Miami district.
 The Sullivan shaft of the Cordova is now down to depth of 435 feet and sinking is going on steadily. In the past few days a slight change in the appearance of the material being removed from the shaft was encount- cred. The present rock removed in development is gray schist of the same silicious nature as that found at the Miami and Inspiration mines, but is little lighter in color than that which has been coming from the Sul- livan shaft.
 The small sinking pump, which was secured some time ago for installa- tion in the Sullivan, is now in place, but, so far, it has not been found nec- essary to use it, as the quantity of water found there can easily be handled by bailing and is too small to make pumping, even on a small scale, advisable.
 At the present rate of sinking, the Sullivan shaft will be down to the 300 level by October 15, and at that depth, crosscutting will be done to explore the ground around the yer tical shaft. The ground in which the shaft is now going down continues to carry copper, but not in commercial uantities.-Globe Belt.

Jerome Against the Chinaman.

A vigorous movement was inaug- urated in Jerome, Arizona, last week looking to the exclusion of Chinese from that city. Reports that refuse meat has been used by the Chinese restaurants precipitated the agita- tion. An investigation of the res taurants revealed conditions far from sanitary, it is alleged, and the feeling against the Mongolian resi- dents is high. The Chinese may not only be driven out but all new ones are absolutely prohibited entering the camp.

 A disease has been extensively scattered up and down the valley for nearly a month past. Some doctors think it is scarlet fever and others think it is diphtheria. It has the symptoms of both. There are sev- eral cases of it in Stafford, Thatcher and Central and one case in Pima. The patients who had it have not generally had it very severely, but this week combined effort is being made by the school authorities, headed by Supt. J. A. Woods, the local physicians and the town au thorities to quarantine It and pre- vent it's spread. The only death from it, SO far, has been the baby of William Jones at Safford.-Crosby's Paper.
