Heat in Iowa.

If Senator Cummins' organ, the Des Moines News. correctly reflects the sentiment of Iowa insurgents, MT. Taft can congratulate himself that his tariff speech at Winona, Minnesota, has at least aroused a lot of interest. The News closes a heated editorial with a touch of mysteries:
 Shades of Theodore Roosevelt. may the ghosts of the wild animals he has killed in Africa ever haunt him for having foisted onto the country this man Taft"
 And all this because MT. Taft said. in substance. that every tariff bill is bound to be a compromise between extreme views; that some of the schedules did not please him. but that the bill as a whole did please him, and that the country would find its prosperity accelerated by the new law.

"GarfieId Currency"

Whatever the legal limitations may be, it is a matter for regret here, as well as in other sections of the west. that the secretary of the interior has found it necessary, because of a rul- ing of the attorney general of the United States, to reverse the policy of the Roosevelt administration in rela- tion to cooperative canal enterprises. Under the former administration the construction of a cooperative canal in the valley east of the city of Mesa was begun, and in fact the work is still under way, the total job being more than half completed. Work on the canal by intending settlers is go- ing forward. notwithstanding that the government has practically withdrawn from the scheme. The canal in ques- tion was not originally a part of the great Roosevelt reservoir project, which is soon to furnish stored water to the Salt River valley, but became a subsidiary project. It is hoped that congressional authority for completion of the canal under government au- spices and guaranties will be ob tained at the next session.
 The cooperative feature of the en- terprise, and of all similar enterprises, as understood here, consisted simply of government receipts for work per formed in construction, the receipts to be credited against the amounts due from the several settlers when water for irrigation should become available. There was. apparently, no liability of loss by the government, and it is somewhat difficult to appre- ciate the position of Attorney General ' Wickersham when he says-if he is quoted correctly-in condemnation of the cooperative feature of the recla- nation service that it is a scheme to make possible the expenditure for ir- rigation of an indefinite sum, in ex- cess of the sum appropriated by con- gress for that purpose"
 Meanwhile, it is of interest to note that some of the newspapers of the east, in upholding Attorney General Wickersham and Secretary Ballinger in their opposition to the cooperative policy, are most savage in attacking former Secretary Garfield for entering upon what they describe as a vii ciously "socialistic program"
 The Washington bureau of the New York Tribune speaks of these certifi- .cates as Garfield currency" and quotes a United States senator as saying:
 Tt is precisely the scheme advo- cated by Bellamy in Looking Back ward" the issuance of a certificate oi indebtedness in the name of the com munity Gin this instance of the water right company in acknowledgment (paymenD of labor performed, and re- deemable in commodities-in this in stance water"
 The New York Times speaks of i as an administration policy, socialis tic, and in clear defiance of law"
 To the Arizona settlers who hoped to profit by the new canal it was however, something more than a ESQ cialistic experiment" They regarded it as a very practical business ar engagement, in which the governmen could not possibly lose anything.

Governor Marshall of Indiana has declined to take the Mississippi river trip with President Taft, his excuse being that he can not bear to be separated from his wife. even for a day Most people will conclude that Governor Marshall is an ass of the emotional type.

CURTIS LEAVES CAMP.

Uri Is. Curtis, who brought General
Manager Ryan of the Tonopah &
Tidewater railroad from Goldfield TO
East Ely left yesterday In his auto
mobile for Tonopah. Mr. Curtis is
said to be one OF the best posted men
In the state in matters pertaining TO
mining districts and II was for that
reason Mr.. Ryan had him accom-
pany him 10 Ely on his last trip.
During his visit here Mr.. Curtis
visited the property of the Schell
crek Range Ore Development Co.,
and in an interview Sunday evening
stated that the mines of that COM
pany had a big tonnage of shipping
ore blocked out and the company was
in position to ship indefinitely when
their auto trucks arrived from the
east. In speaking of the Ely dis
trict. MMr. Curtis said there was no
doubt but what IL was one of the
great copper districts of the world
and looked 10 see the production ex-
coed that of any of the other camps.

are represented by an aggregate of
100000 shares of stock, selling in
the market for 800, 900, 900. and

The country has been secured for
nigh grade copper properties and
every known deposit OF copper has
been prospeeted for miles surround
ing every producer in an endeayor TO
open new mines, but few have been
discovered in the last few years. Inn
provements in mill construction and
greater knowledge in the treatment
OF ores have, however, made possible
the treatment of low grade concen-
trating ores at profit, and 1t is now
conceded that the new copper produc-
ton in this country will have 10 come
largely from these low grade pro-
dueers.
Some of these low grade propo-
sitions have demonstrated that they
can recover copper at a cost landed
IN New York, including charges of
every character, at around cents
per pound. while IL is probably true
that the bulk of the production Of the
country as a whole is made at cost
above rather than under 10 cents.
A new big low grade property is
being financed and placed upon the
market by William b. Thompson.
who was largely responsible for the
development and promotion of the
above mentioned Ely companies.
This is the Inspiration property,
situated at Globe, Arizona. II adj

a year increased its ore reserves from

The Inspiration property has been
under development in a small way
for five years. but 1t has only recently
passed into the control of Mr..
Thompson, and will be developed on
a broader scale.

LOW GRADE PRODUCERS.

BY reason of the demonstrations
OF low copper costs which have been
made in the treatment of coneentrat-
ing ores. these immense low grade
properties are very much in the pub
lie eye at the present time. Five
years ago mining men would scarce
~ look at a copper mining prop
osition the ore of which contained
less than per cent copper. the lake
district alone excepted. says the Bos-
ton News Bureau.
The FIRST company to demonstrate
the value of a large low grade ore
deposit was the Utah Copper COM
pany, with properties In Bingham,
Utah. This property contains a
proven deposit OF fifty million tons
of porphyry which runs less
than 2 per cent copper, from which
the company is now outputting four
million pounds OF copper per month.

Copper companies, In the same dis

COPPER SURPLUS NOT SO
LARGE As REPORTED

In making a statement of earn
ings several OF the large copper pro-
ducing mines have been criticised
for giving into account the unsold
portion OF their product at the pre-
vaIling market prices. says the Salt
Lake Telegram. Some contend that
II should be taken into consideration
that there Is a possibility of their be-
ing a lower price for the metal be-
fore this surplus has actually been
converted into money, while others
hold that the prices for the red metal
are sure TO be improved.
A recent statement from one of the
largest copper producing companies
Is 10 the effect that they have dis
posed of a considerable portion of
the product during the past month
at a price above 13 cents a pound.
That while they are accommodating
small surplus in proportion TO the
output. they are only too pleased 10
have this reserve stock on hand as
il will be the means of obtaining a
much better price a little later on,
and show q greater earning power
for the property at the close of the
year. II is further stated that a
fair margin OF profit is being made
on the prevailing prices, which ar
ford copper mining companies an OPP
portunity TO keep the mines opened

men says:

FURNACE FIRES BANKED
HOPE SETTLEMENT TODAY.

SALT LAkL, May 3.-Four hun
dred smeltermen employed by the
American Smelling q Refining Com.
pany at its plant NJ hurry are out on
strike demanding higher wages. The
strike began on Saturday night when
fifty Austrians on the charge floor
went out. Yesterday the strike
spread 10 the other crews al the
smelter and last night there was not
a man at work. large percentage
of the strikers are foreigners.
When the time came for the men
on the O'Clock shift 10 go 10 work
yesterday morning, the fifty who
struck the night before were at the
smelter gate and persuaded nearly
all of the crew 10 stay away from
work. Some of the workmen avoided
the pickets by entering the smelter
over the Stag pile. These men were
put to work banking the eight blast
furnaces in order 10 keep them from
freezing during the next few days.
At o'clock. when the time came
for another shift to go To work. no
one attempted to enter the smelter
and from that time on the plant has
been idle.
A committee from the strikers will
meet with the officials tomorrow and
1t seems probable that arrangements
will be made whereby the smelter-
men will return TO work pending a
final settlement of the wage con-
troyersy. There has been no violence
and no disorder since the commence
ment of the strike. No arrests have
been made, and 1t is probable that
the strike will be peaceful one.
