STREET CAR SYSTEM A GREAT
 POPULATION BUILDER
Los Angeles Capitalist Tells of the Wonderful Good to Come With the Extension of Transports
 ton Facilities to Suburbs

f' Huntington s suburban street ear lines were the one great factor in mak- ing Los Angeles Il prosperous city of 100000 people, said J. D. Bonebreak, a prominent Los Angeles capitalist yes terday MT. Bonebreak is in the city looking after mining interests. He is a firm believer in the future of Globe and predicts that it will early become the mining metropolis of the world, if the proper encouragement is given capital
 Your present labor trouble will have a retarding influence on. the develop ment of the district, continued Mir. Bonebreak, I" but this will only cause a temporary cheek and in few days after the settlement of the existing diff ferences all will be forgotten. Capital looks upon these interruptions as a mat ter of course where any great number of men, are employed. This labor trou- ble will be thing of the past in few days. Reason will eventually reign on both sides.
 ''But back to the Greater Globe prop osition and my opening statement. What the Huntington street ear lines have done for Los Angeles, similar transportation facilities will do for Globe, along less pretentious lines, of course. A city of from 50,000 to- 75,- GOO for Globe is possibility within the next five years. The, city must have street car line that will reach out to the little camps that have sprung up and will continue to spring up in close prox- imity to the city proper. Turn again to Los Angeles--the great pulsating heart of all southern California. There is Pasadena, one of the most beautiful residence cities in the world. But that is all it is. There are a few stores residents, but the great bulk of the trade goes to Los Angeles over the cleo. trie lines, Long Beach. to the south, is the famous resort city of the Pa cifc. But it goes no further than that. Los Angeles is the trading point The same applies to San Pedro, Wilmington. Santa Ana, Orange. Ocean Park, Ven ice, Santa Monica, Monrovia.

Los Angeles spends thousands of dollars annually developing these little sister cities, because their greatness only adds to her greatness--and the street ear lines do the rest. Los Angeles and the suburban cities have always

been very liberal in the treatment ac. corded street .car lines. They are to-, day And any city that has hopes of future greatness and wishes to protect it's own interests will do the same thing A young city like Globe, rather than miss the chance for street car line, should be willing to pay hand. some bonus to the company risking it's capital in an enterprise of this kind. This is especially true in mining city
 And this bonus talk just reminds me of an incident in Texas number of years ago. Denison, in Grayson coup- ty, took the lead from Sherman, the county seat. Denison gave encourage ment to street ear line and suburb an motor line, granting all reasonable privileges, and secured the transporta
 tion company The population of the city jumped from 600O to l6000 in less than three years and the town was recognized as the metropolis of north ern Texas Sherman trudged along for few years. At, last she realized that action was necessary, and the city eventually paid q bonus of $50,oo0 in cold cash for a street car system. She has been forging to the fore since that.
 "~ l. understand that Globe is now en- tertaining a proposition from eastern capital, working through MT. Hunt, for n franchise for street car line. If my information is correct, no bonus is ask
 ed from the city, but on the contrary the city is holding for what appears to me to be unreasonable concessions

II venture the assertion that there are. more miles of abandoned street car trackage in cities with q population of l5,000 or less than there are in operation. The investment is hazardous, The only chance taken is by the promoters. No city could be injured by failure to make the un- dertaking financial success. The in jury would be done to the men who put tion it would require something like s250,000 in capital to put in a street car line in this city. Dividends would be out of the question under the most favorable circumstances for the first seven to ten years. And after that it would not be bonanza. On the other hand, the minute ears would start on the line every foot of property in the city would be enhanced in value. There

The abnormal ease in the money mar ket is a surprise even to those who some time ago were making the highest esti mates as to the extent of the conges. tion of funds which will be experienced. Thirty days money is lending at per cent, and five or six months money at 3 per cent. while call money eontin- ues to rule under per cent. The heavy increase in the cash gains from the interior are becoming serious prob lem with the New York bankers, who pay per cent on the balances of coun- try banks carried with them. The es- inmates of the result of the cash move ments of the week suggest another large gain by the banks, one ranging from $9,000,000 to sll l,5O0,000 Of this near ly s6,0O0,0O0 came from the interior institutions.

Claim Jumping to BeDiscouraged
 by Society

Owing to the activity of claim jump CTS, movement has been inaugurated in Globe for the formation of Mine Owners Protective association. Be yond some pretty energetic canvassing, nothing definite has been done, hut it is understood that the plan is meeting with appreciation among proprietors of mining claims.
 The object of the organization, itI was explained by one of the promoters, would be to eliminate the delay and cost of litigation in court disputes by settling all differences by arbitration. For instance, when two men claimed a mining property adversely, one plead ing location, and the other relocation on the ground of failure to do assess ment work, or any other ground, for that matter, both would be invited to apear before committee of the organ ization which would arbitrate the con troversy.
 Under present conditions, as already published by the Silver Belt, locators VI hiihihS BiVPNis'NS OHJ thNy "'N 'NfN at the mercy of claim jumpers who either seek to obtain permanent control of the property, or simply wish to com pei the owner to compromise with them in order to avoid the necessity of going to court for long and expensive suit for quiet title. A similar plan, it was stated, has been adopted with much sue cess at Deadwood and in Colorado, sett ling such difficulties so quickly that claim jumping has become practically obsolete.
 Since the publication of the Silver Belt s article on the subject last week, more reports of claim jumping have come in, and the locators, in each in stance, declared that they had either done all the assessment work necessary, or work was actually going on.
