A fine specimen of sulphide ore, as saying about 20 per cent copper, and weighing about one hundred pounds. was brought in last night by Frank Ewing from Lyons canyon, about tif- teen miles southwest of Globe. The ore is from a recent strike on the Copper Sulphide group, owned by Ly- man C. Woods and Ike Elliot, the strike having been made in a tunnel following the ledge at depth of about B feet. It is one of the finest speci- mems of sulphide ore brought to town for several months, being very similar to the sulphide from the Gibson mine, and shows considerable peacock copper. The ledge is a strong one and at the surface shows a width of fully twelve feet.-Globe Silver Belt.

Mohave county, was inducted into ot- flee last week and is busily at work getting things in shape for the work of assessing the property in this coun- ty. Mir. Hunt has had considerable experience in public matters and it is believed that he will fill this onorous office to the satisfaction of the people. When the roll for 1909 is complete it is believed that Mohave county will have stepped up notch in the classi- fication, going from fourth to third class.
 In our last issue we inadvertently stated that the bounties paid on wild cats and coyotes for the year 1908 amounted to a total of 922S, when the fact was that this amount was paid for the quarter ending December 3l, 1908. The total number of cats, coy otes and wolves, on which Mohave county paid bounty during the year, was as follows: 249 cats, 12455; 300 coyotes. 3OOS: ? wolves, 4OS: total of l5S5S for the entire year.
 Mark Smith has introduced in the house bill directing the secretary of the treasury to pay to Dr. Warren k. Day, of Prescott, the sum of l,6OOS, which amount is claimed to be due the doctor for services to the Wallapai Indians in the early eighties. At the time the service was rendered Dr. Day was a resident of Blackberry. Small pox had broken out among the mem bers of the tribe living in the eastern part of the county and the doctor ga e to the aborigines professional service at the instance of the government for which he never received pay.
 Utah for years has been persistently after the strip of land owned by Ari- Zona and north of the Colorado river. Many bills have been presented to con gress for its cession, but so far none If them ever received the slightest COL sideration. A bill has just been in- troduced by an Utah congressman for the cession of the northern strip and the boards of trade and commercial bodies of the Mormon state are urging the passage of the bill. The demand for this strip of land by Utah is about as absurd as would be a demand iron Idaho for the cessiOn of all that part of Utah lying north of the great Salt Lake. To add it to Utah would simply make Washington county, Utah, of the same relative size as Mohave and the people living in the south part, along the Colorado river, would be just as far away from the seat of county gov ernment as they are now. No advaL- tage could be gained by the people liv- ing in the strip and but few of them desire the change. The country Is an asset of Arizona and Arizona intends to fight any attempt to change her boundaries at the present time. Not even a sale of the strip should be countenanced, but if Utah wants that piece of land and must have it let her pay the price.

Greene Concessions May Lapse.

An Fl Paso dispatch says that the largest concession ever granted in the republic of Mexico, that granted w. c. Greene, will, according to the rec ords of the mineral agent at Guer- rero, expire January F, and it is said in well informed circles that these grants will not be renewed by the Mexican government.
 Three million acres of land, much of it covered by valuable growths of tim Der and crossed by mineralized belts, have during the past five years been under the control of the copper mag nate and with the revision lumbermen and prospectors will probably flock in to the erritory.-Border Vidette.
 Tom Shultz came in from Parker to attend the Tri-County Board of Trade meeting held on the 7th inst. He states that U. =. Examiner of Surveys Strover. of Tucson, is on the ground at Parker with authority from the gen. eral land office at Washington to sur vey the toownsite, and the work is now under way. This will be very beneficial to the town of Parker, but il is the general opinion that the open ing of the reservation is necessary to bring Parker into its own. Mir. Schultz alSO hrinUS the news that an automobile line has been established between Needles and Parker, the name of the operating firm being the Needles and Parker Transportatit n Co.,, and the time from Los Angeles 10 Parker is thus cut to sixteen hours, where it formerly consumed tifty-two hours of time. The company has a seven-passenger coach which will make the trip three times per week. Wickenburg Miner.

A FRANCHISE
IS NOW ASKED
Telephone Company Asks to
Occupy Rapid City Streets
and Alleys.
OFFERS The cry A BONUS on ITS INCOME
Proposes to Install Phones at from
81 to 50 in Business District
and 81 to so in Residences.

The Black Hills Independent Tele-
phone company asks franchise to
occupy the streets and alleys of the
city. The matter was presented at a
meeting of the city council Monday
night, fathered by Councilman Pas
coe. The ordinance was taken up
and placed on record as having passed
its first reading, there being several
matters the council wished to inves-
tigate before taking further action.
On this account and in accordance
with the usual procedure the applica-
tion was referred to the committee
on laws. The promoters propose to
operate public utility for period
of twenty years and to give the city
ten per cent of the net income in ex-
cess of $4,000 per year, exclusive of
rural lines, which indicates it is their
intention to run in conjunction with
the rural telephone systems of the
county. In order to do so they ask
the people to grant the right to use
the streets, alleys and public grounds
for the erection of poles and wires, no
poles to be on St. Joe or Main street
between Fifth and Eighth streets ex-
cept such as may be necessary to cross
those streets. The company further
asks the right to lay wires in conduits
under ground if practicable. All ex-
penses incurred by change of grades
and resetting of poles is to be borne
by the company. The company guar
antees within six months to have at
least five phones and in a year $50
phones in service, with suitable
central office in operation day and
night. The proposed schedule of
rates is:
. Up to $50 Observation-Disclosures
houses ~, residences 81.
From $50 to 400 instruments-busi
ness houses $3.50, residences s1.25.
From 400 to 700 instruments-busi-
ness houses SO, residences S1.5o.
The city to be given three phones
free of charge and the right to use
the poles to stretch wires for fire and
police service free of charge.
Request is that the council will not
grant a similar franchise to any other
company during the twenty years
covered by this franchise, or right to
any other company to extend it's lines
into the city during such time, the
right being reserved to the council to
revoke the ordinance on sixty days
notice provided the company failed
to live up to all agreement.
The rights OF the city should and
doubtless will be protected before the
council takes steps to submit the
proposition to the people, as fran
chises of the kind are becoming more
valuable and the people have a right
to protection in all ways, including
rates charged for service.
The capital necessary to finance the
company comes from the east and is
to be handled through Yankton par
ties. Very little stock will be offered
for sale to Rapid City parties at pres
ent at least, only sufficient so that
names of local men may 60 on the

place the engine and not until Tues

of commission the motor made the
run, so passenger traffic was not seri-
ously delayed.

WANT BlM AS FIRE CHIEF
Council Refuses to Accept Resigna.
ton of J. P McElroy--.Hlres
Custodian of Apparatus.


John P. McElRoy, chief of the fire
department, presented his resignation
at a meeting of the council Monday
night, which was not accepted. At a
previous meeting the position of care
taker of fire apparatus was combined
with another office and since then it
is claimed three fires have occurred
at neither of which the apparatus
was in suitable shape for use. For
this and business reasons Mr.. McEl-
roy did not care care devote time as
chief of the department. Explana-
tion was then offered for the. dismis-
sal of the custodian of fire apparatus
for the reason that the city pays $50
per month for the service and on that
account should be entitled to the full
time of such person. After the prof
fered resignation had been rejected a
motion for the securing of a custo-
dian was presented and passed, CIV
ing the chief authority to secure suit
able person at $50 per month. Dis
cussion of the purchase of a chemical
engine was then taken up at some
length and referred to committee
for further investigation. 1t is the
opinion of many that chemical en-
gine of suitable size should be secured
as means of additional protection
against fire.

Commissioner Cook Issues Warning
Regarding Requirements of
Law on Eggs.
Alfred N. Cook, Of the state food
drug commission, has issued a circular
to the wholesale and retail egg deal
ers of South Dakota of interest to
everyone. 1t is as follows:
Complaint has been made on the
part of many dealers in eggs that the
law is continuously being violated by
the purchase, shipment and sale of
rotten eggs. The commissioner has
conferred with several wholesale pro-
duce men of the state with the view
to remedying this evil. They are anx-
ious for relief in this manner and the
public has right to be protected.
"The law makes it misdemeanor
subject to fine and imprisonment in
the county Jail to buy or sell decom-
posed animal foods or even so ship or
receive them. 1t further imposes on
the commissioner the duty of making
rules and regulations for the enforce
ment of the pure food laws In view
of the above mentioned facts, the fol-
lowing rule is promulgated, and this
commission will prosecute violations
thereof:
Eggs: 1t is unlawful to buy or
sell decomposed animal foods or even
to receive them. 1t is, therefore, rul-
ed that all eggs bought and sold in
the market must be subject to cand-
ling. ALFRED N. Cook,
Commissioner.

Was After the Cash.

Farmingdale Gimlet: Deputy Sher-
III Baken of Rapid City came down to
the gravel pit the latter part of last
week and from the scattering in the
Dago population one would imagine
that the eagle eye of deputy and
game warden had discovered another
fish dynamiting party. But tile COM.
motion was all brought about by the
action of the Swander Grocery Co.
and groceryman Lynch, who had been
furnishing supplies for the outfit, and
1t seems that the high mogul who did
the cook act acted as the banker Of
the party had skipped, leaving the
others and the grocery firms to hold
the bag to the tune of $40 and q O.. LIS.
