walls, also, will be of reinforced con-
crete. At present force of $50 men Is
at work finishing the grading, reeeiV-
ing the material and getting ready the
lumber for use In the making of the
huge forms for the foundation. The
framework will, of course, be of steel.
The mill and the power plant together
will cost over $1,000,000. 1t is esti-
mated that the concentration will be
ready to begin working about one year
from today. When the construction
work on the concentration Is at its
height fully 300 men will be employed
in this work alone. The whole force
then working for the Miami Copper
company will probably be about 900
men, many of whom will, of course,
be skilled workmen, such as concrete
and structural steel workers, carpen-
ters and mechanics.
Underground Work
Underground on the Miami property
the work of blocking out ore and con-
tinuing exploration Is steadily progress
ing. Altogether, the drifts, raises and
crosscuts in the mine make total or
about 10000 feet. The mining is be-
ing done by a new method known as
the auxiliary raise and sublevel stop
ing method which has been worked
out and introduced for the first time
by the Miami Copper company. MOST
OF the ore will be mined in rooms by
this method and the rest will be ex-
tracted by the top slicing and sub
level caving methods.
At present most of the work is being
done in the mine on and above the 40
foot level, which is to be the main one
used in ore extraction. The ore from
the $40 level to the surface will be
mined first. 1t is estimated that the
part of the ore body above the $40 level
will Yield about three and one-half mil
lion tons. There are nine levels estab-
lished in the Miami mine. TWenty-four
miners are employed in actual develop
ment work, and they make about 5000
feet a month in drifts, crosscuts and
raises. The twenty-four miners work
in two shifts of twelve hours each.
The Red Rock shaft of the Miami
property is 720 feet deep. The depth
of the Red Springs shaft Is AGO feet.
The Captain shaft has depth OF 220
feet, and the ST. Johns shaft is down
450 feet. For convenience, these
shafts are usually designated in the
order in which they are given above as
shafts Nos. l, 2,>3 and 4. Shafts 1 and
are connected on the 420 level and
on the 40 level they are now driving
to connect shaft No. 2 with shafts NO.
and No. 4.
IN view or ltS enormous ore pouy
now only partly blocked out and with
its extent not yet fully determined, and
with it's big plant under construction
the future OF the Miami mine is of
such promise and prophecies as to it's
future Importance in the mining world
are of little avail in giving an accurate
idea of the mammoth industry that the
Miami Copper company will, in the
future, contribute to the total in the
Globe district.
That the Miami mine is q twentieth
wonder is denied by none, and
that it will prove to be one of the
greatest factors in the future main
tenance Of Arizona's position at the
head of the copper producing areas is a
certainty.

SEVEN TR0UGHS LEASE
SHIPS $4,000 GOLD BRICK

LOVELOCK, New, Nov. 6.-Notwith-
standing the fact that the Seven
Troughs district is closed down and
there is but very little doing in so far
as the main companies are concerned,
there was a nice little consignment OF
the yellow metal brought in from the
camp last Monday and shipped to the
mint. The bullion, consisting of two
bars and having an aggregate value
of nearly $4,000, was brought to Love-
lock in John Harnan's car and was
closely guarded.
The product just sent out is the re-
suit of the initial run by the Mazuma
Mines company operating a lease on
the Mazuma Hills property. There
were seventy-eight tons of ore treated,
and besides the bullion produced as
mentioned above there was nearly $1,000
worth of concentrates, which will be
shipped to the smelters.

Injunction which was asked by the
Florence and Combina-

STATE OWNERSHIP FAILURE.

Says the Boston Financial News:
The course. of municipal ownership
and of state owned railways has re-
ceived, many severe jolts during the
past few months. and the only ele-
ments advocating either now. are
the impractical socialists or the labor
union. which realizes the power the
men, could WELD in the political
world. The politician in Office or
seeking Office would hardly refuse
10 obey the behest of the labor union,
controlling the votes of many thous-
ands of men. The disinterested OBJ
server is becoming more and more
convinced that the theories of state
ownership. are not realized In prac-
tice, and that state owned railways
are failures in nearly every case.
This being so, the chances for les
adoption in this country are exceed
ingly slim and hardly a possibility
within this generation. II seems
impossible for the state to get the
same efficient management from
either the standpoint of ability or
economy that can he secured by a
corporation.
There are some very good reasons
why this is SO, and why 1t will prob
ably always be so. The state does
not pay as large salaries as the cor
poration, and the political position is
temporary, while that with the cor
poration is permanent. 1t is almost
impossible also for the state official
TO operate property without inter-
ference from politicians, and party
followers must always be taken care
of. This Is not true alone of this
country but operates wherever state
ownership has been tried. A recent
dispatch said that in Belgium as in
The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1909-02-25

Switzerland, the exploitation of rail-
ways by the state is proving a dis
astrous experiment. The administra-
ton has already raised the price of
tickets for tourists and is now con-
sidering a general advance. The ex-
perience OF these two countries APP
pears to be that, even with an in
creased business, there is no gain in
the net earnings and in fact. the loss
seems to increase with the gross
receipts.
The experiment with state owner
ship in Japan has proved SO dis
astrous that the government has
been considering the lease of the
properties to private syndicates. 1t
is generally believed in that country
that the naturalization of the rail-
ways has been a mistake. The same
general criticisms apply in Italy.
Prussia and all countries where the
state owns the railways. The COM
plants are not only based on the
financial. losses made by the states.
but in every country relate as well to
the service rendered and the rates
charged. 1t would be we'll If the peo-
pie of this country who are constantly
making charges of unfair treatment
against our companies, could study
the conditions abroad and make COM
PARSONS of the rates received and the
much less of the senseless criticism
now so prevalent.
The necessity for regulation of the
railway corporations is recognized,
and up 10 date the method which
seems best Is that of commissions, to
supervise and regulate. as we'll as
see that only fair rates are charged.
The success of this experiment de-
Ponds entirely ON the character of
the men placed on the commission to
exercise the great power with which
the commissions must necessarily be
clothed to make their work effective.
The principle is being tried out in
very effective manner, and the re-
suits of this years operations are
looked forward to with a great deal
of interest 1t is obvious that the
commissions must protect the inter
ests of investors as well as those of
the shipping and consuming public,
and II 1t is found that the commits
sions cannot overcome the prejudice
against the corporation and give 1t
a fair treatment. then the system
will fall. and something else must be
tried, II Is too early now, however.
to find the commissions unable to
solve the problems of fair treatment
for both the public and the corpora
tions.

WILL NOT STAND FOR COMMENT
STATE Department Disavows All Re-
sponsibility for Criticism of
President Obaldia.

WASHINGTON. Feb, THE
United States government disavows
all responsibility for recent remarks
made by Representative Rainey of
Illinois, criticising President Obaldia
of Panama. This is indicated In a
letter sent today by SECRETARY Bacon
to c. c. Arosmena, minister from
Panama, in reply TO a protest by the
latter in behalf of his government.
Mr.. Bacon's letter says:
The utteranees of individual
members are not to be taken as ex-
pressing the views either of the gov
eminent OF the United States or of
the house in which such remarks are
made. As regards the statements in
question, made by Representative
Rainey, the president attached SO lit
tie Importance to them that he had
not even read them until your protest
came. He has now read them, and
none of them concerning which he
had knowledge has any foundation in
fact. The president need hardly say
that this government disavows all re-
sponsibility for the remarks of Rep
resentative Rainey to which you re-
fer"
In his protest. Mr.. Arosmena re-
quested a disayowal of the offensive
remarks concerning the president and
republic of Panama, such as may be
deemed just and commensurate with
the deep and unwarranted injury in
fiicted upon President Obaldia

ING BATTLE SHIPS.

In building leviathan armored
ships the United States has taken
the lead in size, though England
keeps ahead in number. This coun-
try has authorized the construction
of four battle ships that far exceed
the Dreadnaught in tonnage and
armament, and the present congress
is likely to provide for two more
that will be still larger 10y far. \
few days ago the Delaware was
launched at Newport News, the most
formidable warship that has Yet been
started. Her displacement is o.
900 tons The largest battle ship
Dreadnaught, of 1900 tons. Ger
many's largest battle ship is 1920
tons. but that government is build
ing nine, of which five will be of

is 14,S65 tons, with eight building.

hand six battleships, four of which
will be the heaviest afioat. Two, the
Florida and Utah, of u ,S25 tons
each. Congress is celebrating on
two of $4,000 tons each, the naval
committee having reported upon
them favorably. The Delaware. just
launched. is to be 2,100 tons larger
than the Dreadnaught. and go tons
greater than Great Britain's latest
vessel, the Vanguard.
Thus goes forward the most re-
markable of all forms of interna-
tional rivalry and preparation, con-
stituting a duel in finance as well as
constructive ability. Captain Mahan,
an American recognized abroad as
high naval authority. supports the
leviathan idea. THE line of reason
ing he says. which applies TO the
$4,000 or 10000 ton ship will hold
good when you have reached 80 900
