THROUGH TO PARKER :. SOON IN ONE
 DAY
New Passenger Service Over the A. & C.
 Railroad
(FrOm Tuesdays DailyJ

For several weeks the local Santa Fe officials have been arranging for train service over the 4. & c. railroad that wOuld place Prescott on an even basis with Phoenix as regards quick transportation facilities, and these plans are now perfected.
 Under the new schedule, travellers can leave Prescott in the morning and arrive at Parker that evening, while on the return trip, one leaves Parker in the morning and is in Prescott at 2:47 D. m., thus avoiding the usual stopover for a night at Wiekenburg. This improved service is made possible by running a straight passenger train over the A. & c. line, instead of mixed train as formerly. It will leave Parker at 6:3O a. m., and connect at A. & c. Junction at 10:45 p. m. with the northbound train from Phoenix, which arrived here at 9:47 p. III.
 On the return trip, the new train will leave Wiekenburg at 1:4O p. m-, A. S c. Junction at o'clock, and ar rive at Parker at 6:13 p. m. Train No. 9. which leaves Prescott at 10 a. m., will make close connection with this train
 Changes in time of trains will be made on the S. F., P. & F., No ?, northbound, will arrive at $40. a. m. instead of s:35 a. m. and will depart for. Ash Fork at 9:2O a. m.
 No. 3, southbound, will arrive at $50 a. m., and leave at 10 a. m. There is no change in the evening south bound or the afternoon northbound trains. which depart respectively at S:2O p. m. and 2:50 p. m.
 Business men especially will appre- ciate the new train service on the A. & C., as it will give them an opportun- ity to reach for the trade of that coun- try, which is now going almost exclu- sivelv to Phoenix, and in the ease of mining supplies, considerable of the business is absorbed by Tucson and even Fl Paso. To the travelling pub lie the "through by daylight" train will be a boon, as one will now be able 1 to 90 to Parker or any other point on the line on one day and return the next, instead of the trip consuming four days as in the past.
 i The new service and time schedule
 noted above will be effective on May

The eompany's net earnings for that year were $2,902, ,75S, as against S2,e42,245 for the previous year. shrinkage of only about S4O,- GOO. The surplus, after preferred stock, amount to 5.79 per cent on the common stock. In the previous year 5.es per cent was earned, while in 1906 it was only 5.32 per cent. The year 1905 showed earnings Of 6.93 per cent on the common stoek,'a steady increase being shown for each year from 1902. when earnings only amount ed to I.07 per cent Working capital amounted to $1l ,992,O7s on December 3l. Commenting on trade conditions, President Cole says: ''The volume of business done suffered a shrinkage n the aggregate of but per cent Tn comparison with the year 1907, which was the largest in your history. Busi- ness for the current year exceeds that of last, but this was to be expected. IL halts in some features, but we do not look for confident trade until all doubt as to the future tariff is dis peDed. Competition is increasing but your position will be maintained by such conservative activity as may be necessary to protect trade"

tFTOfn OunudS lJaliSJ
 Forty miners are now employed in the Octave mine, the majority being engaged in blocking out the large bodies tapped by the Joker shaft, ae- eording to the statement of M. w. Ditto, consulting engineer of the oe- tave Mining Company and the Central Arizona Electric Company, who passed through here yesterday afternoon on his way to Chicago.
 Steam hoists at two of the main working shafts will be replaced in a few days with electric hoists, when hoisting by steam will be abandoned, affecting a considerable decrease in the cost of operation.
 Development operations now under way contemplate the eentralization of pumping and hoisting, with a further view of economic operation of the mine, which is now entering upon the most prosperous period in it's history.
 Consulting Engineer Ditto also stat ed that the new electric generating plant of the Central Arizona Electric Company is finished with the exeepT tion. of a few finishing touches. The swftehboards are almost in place and after a few minor steam connections, the plant will be ready for operation. He expects to have the Octave mill, with its increased capacity, ready for operation in less than three months and to have the mine in shape at that time 10 produce larger tonnage of ore of higher average grade than ever before.
 Consulting Engineer Ditto will re- turn 10 the Octave mine from Chicago i1 three weks.

VULCAN GROUP WILL
 BE PUSHED ALONG
(From sunaa~'s Dailyl


 The Vulcan property is only twelve miles from Bouse and the railroad and in 2 district proven to abound iD min eral. .z
 It lies in a basin fisnked on the east, south and west by the Plomosa mountains. It is easy of access and connected with Bouse by an excellent wagon road. The ore is described by E. A. HaggOtt, E. M., of Los Angeles, and well known throughout Arizona as a thoroughly capable engineer, as follows:
 'The ore as exposed on the suYfaee and in the openings is an entirely OK idized and leaebed gossan of lime and iron, containing two to ten per cent carbonate and oxide of copper, and three dollars gold and silver per ion, as all this oxidized ore contains an average of per cent of lime and 20 per cent of iron oxide, it will be a valuable addition 10 the local smeiting of the copper sulphide ore to be ob- tained from the deeper levels of tbe ore zones. The ore is of simple char- artee, and will be found practically self fluxing in smelting, which fact IS If great importance in considering cost of reduction. As indicated on the map of the claims, the ore crops a length of $500 feet on the west side and from six 10 twenty feet in width. ! On the Vulcan South claim the out crop is 200 feet wide. Other outerops of connecting spur veins are shown on the map, and all show the presence oI copper, gold and silver, as before stated. There is no question but that the history of copper ore under similar conditions elsewhere, will be repeated on the Vulcan mines. That is, an oxi- dized zone, largely leaehed of its for mer copper contents, succeeded 1T depth by sulphide ore zone enriched by the addition of copper leseheo from above. The veins are strong and persistent. The outerops are plain tC follow throughout the distances marked on the map of the claims. The slope of the formations is westerly on th' west side of the property and east or the east side, hence both slopes of tho formations are ore bearing and vii be referred to hereafter as the eas and west veins. The uplifting force forming these slopes or antielines hay ing an eruption of andesitic porPhyfy The underlying rock, or fOotwal of th' vein, is gneiss but in places reef O ouartzite lies between the ore bodie and the gneiss. Especially is this tn
 case on the Vulcan and 3 South ant the John x. claims, where the ore bod, is replacement deposit in a deep bedded formation of earboniferou limestone, but on the Henry and Ha claims it is andesitie porphyry.

THERE ARE OTHER BRIDGES re
 BE BUILT.

By a safe though not a wide mar gin the Center street bridge has been decided upon by the voters of the county. We hope and we believe that the result of yesterdays election will be regarded as a victory over the Salt river and not as a triumph over our neighbOrs at Tempe, though the two sections had been unfortunately and unnecessarily arrayed against each other Some may be inclined to find satisfaction in the reflection that Tempe has been disappointed but such a sentiment is not creditable to the man who entertains it. Such a man cannot be useful in upbuilding the community.
 It should not be understood that the election settles the bridge question. Though many votes were cast by Phoenix voters against Tempe that fact should not be construed to mean that the voters are now or were yes terday opposed to the building of bridge at Tempe. The votes of a majority of them were cast under the impression that a vote for Tempe imperiled the chances of Phoenix.
 But Phoenix is safe, and we believe that if the proposition for a bridge at Tempe were now to be submitted, it would be enthusiastically endorsed. It is certain that it could not fail.
 That Tempe should have a bridge was never disputed in the course of this long and rather bitter campaign, and we do not think that the most ardent advocate of the Center street site will now contend that Tempe's need of a bridge has been removed by yesterdays election.
 It is essential that the people of both sides of the river work together in harmony in all matters which promise benefit to either side. The people of Tempe have earned the good will of the whole county by their show of loyalty to their com munity They have earned the re- spect of their antagonists as earnest fighters They carried the war into Italy and did not fall far short of success. But the war is over.
