.CANANEA ROAD |S
 HELD UP
Dr. Ricketts Called to Mexico for Consultation Regarding
 Terms of Contract
EXPECTED CONSTRUCTION WILL SOON RESUME

That important railroad questions, having a bearing upon railroad con struction in this part of the country, are being decided in the City of Mex ioo this week. is the opinion of min- ing and railroad men who are interest ed in the construction of the connect ing link between Douglas and La Can- anea.
 Dr. l.. D. Ricketts. general manager of the Greene-Cananea company, and Mir. Hemming. chief engineer, are in Mexico City, where it is reported they were summoned by the Mexican rail road officials in connection with the building of the railroad between Doug, las and Cananea.
 During their absence all construc- tion work on the Douglas-Cananea branch has been ordered discontinued. Scott Brothtrs, of Douglas, who had a grading outfit at Del Rio. have abaR. doned their camp and returned to Douglas.
 Just what has caused the temporary cessation of work is not known but it is believed the failure of the Douglas Cananea Railroad company to observe some of the terms of their concession has caused the order of suspension un- til the satisfactory explanations have been heard by the powers that be.
 Dr. Ricketts and Engineer Hemming are expected back next week.

GOLD, SILVER AND COPPER.

A well known authority says tha: gold, silver and zinc are all so abuni ant that the supply is likely to lasr for centuries. Copper is also abund ant, but is largely in low grade ores which can not now be profitably worked. At increased prices. however, the outlook Is much less favorable. Its production in the United States is still increasing slightly, but is de creasing elsewhere in the world, and this despite a marked increase in prices. Probably the worlds output has already reached a maximum and will henceforth decline.
 The phosPhates it is estimated. will De exhausted in about twenty-five years, and the farmer will then have to look elsewhere for fertilizers.
 Fresh supplies of all these materi als may, Of course, be found, but tex cept for goldD it seems unlikely that they will be great enough or valuable enough to materially affect the esti mates.

GOAL PRODUCTION IN ROCKY MOUNTAINS

The United States Geological Survey has completed the statistics of coal production in 1908 in all of the Rocky Mountain and Pacific States, Colo rado, Idaho, Montana. New Mexico, North Dakota, Utah and Wyoming the output in 1908 amounted to 2l,6S4, 4if short tons, valued at s33, .730. IF 1907 the production in these States was 23,99o,917. In not one of these States did the production in 1908 ex- ceed that of the preceding year. The total decrease amounted to 2,306. .50s tons; the decline in value was S2.S45,- 059. Almost exactly 50 Der cent of this decrease in production occurred in Colorado, whose output declined 1,155.2e3 short tons. Nearly 40 per cent of the decrease. or 763,8 ,839 tons. was in the output of Wyoming. These two states. Colorado and Wyoming, contribute more than two-thirds of the total production of the Rocky Mountain region
 The Pacific Coast States, which in. clude the Territory of Alaska and the States of California, Oregon and Washington, in 1908 produced 3,I23. 4eS short tons of coal, valued at SG, 976, ,332. against 3.775.602 short tons valued at $7.93791s. in 1907. a de crease in production of 652.134 shor; tons in quantity and of S961,5 in value.

RAILROAD BOARD ID
 START PROCEEDINGS

PHOENIX. July 23.-At a special meeting Of the territorial railway com mission the interstate commerce con- mission was instructed to institute proceedings against the Gila Valley, Globe & Northern railway, on account Of excessive and discriminatory rates into Globe.
 Previous requests by the railway commission for a reduction in rates between Globe and Bowie had been ignored by officials of the Southern Pacific railway. of which the GIla Valley line is a branch, and as re suit, the commission decided 10 leave the mater in the hands of the inter state commerce commission.
 A showing to the effect that in some cases the rate per ton for a mile was as much as thirty-three times as great as the rate per ton for a mile between Chicago and San Fran cisco, for the same class of freight, caused the commission to take action.
 Date presented al the meeting. comparing the rates between Chicago and San Francisco, as against those between Globe and Bowie, showed that the shippers of Globe were be ing charged many times in excess of the transcontiental rate in the fol, lowing instances.
 On sugar. the rate between Bowie and Globe is thirty-three times higher than the eastbOuId transContinenLal rate. The rate on lubricating oils is thirty times greater. canned goods twenty-twO and siX-tenths grel,c-, dried fruits, wines and pickles, tweuTy times greater, dried fruits in sacks eighteen times greater and potatoes twelve times greater.
 Many other inctances were cited where th,' Globe-Bowie rate was high. CT than the ChicagO-San Francisco rate.
 It is expected that the inteTstaIr 1 commerce commission will take action l in the matter within short time.

BUSINESSMEN DECIDE
 10 INSTALL SHELTER
Rigby Reduction Plant Will Be Taken Over and Part of ii
 Converted

PRESCOTT. July 23.-After mature deliberatiOn. the Business Mems as soc;ation of Mayer has decided to take over the Rigby reduction plant at that place and convert a portion of it into a lead smelting enterprise. To this end they will send two of their repre- sentative mining members east on Monday next and the plan will be financed in few weeks hence, is the statement made. This move follows as a natural result of the prevailing condition in that section in disposing of the ore product under present methods of handling and treating the
 same. The purpose is to install a plant having a capacity of at least
 400 tons daily. this volume coming from careful estimates made of the field anl elsewhere.
 The inaugurating of this plant is also due to mineralogical conditions in evidence there as well as every where in this county. Up to the pres ent time, in the character of the min
 eral production of this county. the lead values carried more or less in all ores have been practically valueless. and not a cent has been received for that metal, nor has any value 10 the owner been considered where they have been purchased here or shipped out, with but one exception. That | one is the shelter at the Needles. IL was especially equipped with a lead | jacket, and several thousands of dol | lars in ore values carrying this miner 1 al have been returned to miners in ! this section through it.
 l It is now the purpose of the Mayer 1 people to remedy this evil, and to effect a remedy. They say that their | section is a strong lead one, and that | from every character of the mineral yield strong percentage of this min, ] sral is associated with that of the others. This yield is entirely lost ! and with it annually the mining in. ! terests are that much retarded in | actual rating They say the same
 condition prevails all over the coun'
 ty, and 1t is a universally established fact that up to the present time in | the vast volume of ore handled and
 treated in this county, no pecuniary
 consideration has been associated
 with any ore yield. as far as lead values go.

 CLAIMS NEAR GLOBE

GLOBE, July 23-A big strike of copper glance ore has been made at a depth of forty feet on the McEwen and Davidson claims. three miles northeast of the city. This property adjoins the Oriental group. This strike is considered by some of the local mining men as one of the most note worthy discoveries that has occurred in Globe district for some time, and indicates that the McEwen and David son claims will eventually develop into one of the best paying properties of this locality.
 The new vein Is now proven to be six feet wide and still covers the bot. tom of the shaft It is producing a very high grade ore. although the ex' act returns have not yet been ob' tained from the assays.
