CHIHUAHUA. Mexico. Nov. A. The Sierra Consolidated Mines com pany, the $5,00O,OOO gold corporation organized by Thos F. Cole. the noted copper mine operator, has develop ment work commenced on it's numer ous properties at Ocampo in the Sier- ra Madres in western Chihuahua.
 P. M. Atwater, Jr., general manager of the company, arrived from ocam- DO on Thursday with Dennis Nina han, and during his stay here ne made a statement regarding his oompany's plans and operations at ocampo:

Perhaps in all Mexico there has never been gold-silver district like that of Ocam- DO. and now the Sierra Consolidated Mining company. headed by such well known and successful mining men as Thos. F.

COPPER MERGER DISCUSSED BY
 AUTHORITY

There is no better authority to be found than the Engineering and Min ing Journal upon anything which has to do with mines or mining and hence whatever this journal has to say upon the proposed copper merger which has aroused so much comment of late is of especial interest. In the latest copy of this magazine, which was re- ceived today, the following comment appears: "The Copper Deal.
 Tt seems that after all we are to have a big copper deal unless plans go wrong. The matter apparently is in charge of a power to which Wall Street doffs it's hat in respect. No one knows yet what is going to hap, pen; perhaps not even the power knows. Ideas as to who are concern ed are clearer Amalgamated, Cole 6 Ryan, and the Guggenheims are the interests which are to be brought to gether. The questions are how, when and where? We have heard a lot oi guesses, but the conundTum is toC deep for the ordinary mind. One thins is certain: Wall Street scents dea that promises profit in the discount ing thereof"

Dodge interests being in any way con nected with such a project. All re- ports now received as to the pro posed merger omit the name of Phelps, Dodge and company entirely. This is in accordance with the adyices which the International received and published when the first mention of the proposition was mentioned. The only papers which seem to insist on connecting this interest with the pro posed merger are the Dispatch and the Bisbee Miner, despite official de- nials on the subject.
 When such an authority as the En- gineering and Mining Journal admits itself lat sea" as to the merger other papers may we'll do the same and cease to surmise. It is certain that something is pending but as to what interests are involved besides the Amalgamated and the Cole-Ryan, it is all surmise.
 The fact that H. I. Randolph who had charge of the Southern Pacific railroad surveys lately made between Kelton and Naco and on lines into Bisbee and Douglas, has taken up his headquarters in Douglas, has attract ed some attention in this city, but the coming of MT. Randolph to Douglas has not cleared up the railroad situa' ton which has interested Douglas for the last sixty days.
 The work of surfacing the track and completing the bridge and trestle work on that part of the railroad built from KeIton to Forest Canyon is be ing continued, but it is not likely that any train service will be put on the twenty-one miles of completed road l unless the branch line is to be bull in to either Douglas or Bisbee, whicf is not probable, after the abandoning of the Naco line which was so nearly complete.

BRIGHT FUTURE
FOR AUTO TRADE
QuOdrupIing of Last Years Output IS
Confidently Expected

Trade futures look exceedingly bright
for auto dealers throughout the coun-
try, especially on the Pacific coast.
Despite the fact that last year saw
more than $4,000 cars turned out and
sales were good for the latter portion
OF the year. conservative automobile
men look for the quadrupling of this
output during the fiscal year
Thus it might be said that the in
dUstry has grown from practically
nothing in 1895 to the magnificent total
of $4,000, ,O00 estimating that these
cars viii average in cost $4,000 each.
Coupled with this is the great sum in
Volved in automobile works and con-
tingent expenditures and the necessary
outlay IN maintaining repair and sales
rooms.
Had the automobile reached the maxi
mum of usefulness this would still
leave the industry a magnificent one,

WAGONS HARDfRON
ROADS THAN AUTOS
Tests in the East Demonstrate
That Heavy Horse Vehicles
Are More Destructive

Automobiles, even at high speeds. do
not have as destructive an influence on
the roadbed as heavy horse drawn
wa agons. according 20 the results OBJ
tained by the tests recently conducted
in New Jersey over a mile stretch Of
road eleven automobiles. weighing from
1000 TO $500 pounds. were driven at
speeds of from 10 to 60 miles an hour
At q low speed the automobile tires
merely compressed and packed the
road surface. The limit of speed at
which no effect could be observed was
about 20 or % miles an hour.
AT higher speeds a stripping action
began. which If continued would cause
loosening of the surface However. the
only dust raised was that already loose

We're drawn over the highway to as

notatiOns the result showed that the
hammering of the horses ealked shoes
and the iron tired wagon wheels tended
to bring about a complete breaking
up of the road. Large stones that were
undisturbed by the autos, were dis
placed by the horses and wagons.

ards of perfection even to the minutest
detail. and this fact alone is the great
est protector of the purchaser against
inferiority in an established make.
EASILY SHOWS DEFECTS
The automobile not being like a
cigar that makes its reputation on the
first lot turned out, is the easiest piece
of machinery on the market TO show
its defects. Calling for perfection of
mechanical skill in order that the
maximum of energy and endurance
may be secured from the smallest
amount of mechanical apparatus, each
part must vie with its neighbor in
maintaining its quota of energy. In
other words, the motor is a concentra-
tion of mechanical genius.
Few would have believed that in its
short life the automobile would be-
come such an important factor in busi-
ness life. Its evolution primarily en-
braced recreative ideas, and it was not
until manufacturers began giving at
tention to its real mission in the world
of commerce that its presence forced
itself upon the public mind.
This is very clearly portrayed in the
diversified fields now offering a beck
oning handsto the power driven vehicle.
Its chief menace to old time methods
lies in the fact that it combines busi-
ness with pleasure. guarantees a
speed in action in keeping with the
nervous energy that makes America
the leading business center of the
universe
one must grow retrospective to fully
grasp the wonderful strides that have
been made in the last decade

With this enormous field, that prac-
tically embraces every feature of the
transportation problem, there is little
wonder that the automobile dealer
looks forward to an unusually pros
porous year.
In the general increase San Fran
cisco has held it's own and the showing

expect for the remainder of the year

the year 1908 there were registered
with. the secretary of state a total of

While some of these cars were
brought in by eastern people, the per-
centage for 1909 can hardly be ex-
pected to have increased over that of

almost all represent new purchases.
