PRIVATE CAR LINES
By FREDERIC ]. HASKIN.

The Individual Car Owners Association
OF the United States is now in session at
Cleveland Ohio Some 400 firms and
corporations owning special equipment
cars of various kinds are represented in
the membership of this association. They
own approximately 100000 cars. Little is
known Of this organization by the general
public, and vet the achievements of Its
members affect the entire nation. They
have changed the whole trend of the
meat business in the United States; they
have wrought a revolution in the fruit
industry Of the country; they have &C
compliShed remarkable changes in the
getable-growing business of the ma
ton, and they have made possible things
undreamed of century ago.
In recent years much has been written
about the wickednesS of the private car
lines of the country and the evils they
have brought about Yet they were
born of sheer necessity. When Gusta-
WIS Swift started his packing business in
Chicago, he found 1t impossible to mar
ket his meats in the east owing to the
lack of suitable transportation facili-
ties The railroads were transporting
the live cattle from the prairies to the
eastern market and as the traffic in
live cattle gave them about 100 per cent
more business than the traffic in dressed
beef. they were, of course. not hasty in
welcoming the idea Of changing from
the transportation of cattle to the hauling
of beef Furthermore. feeding stations
had been established all along the lines
of the railroads where the cattle were
removed from the cars and fed en- route.
The people who were interested in these
feeding stations were no more friendly
to the idea OF dressed beef transporta-
ton than were the railroads.
1t was very fortunate for Mr.. Swift and
for the future history Of the beef in
dustry that there was one line running
TO New York which was too circuitous
for the hauling of live cattle. That line
was the Grand Trunk railway, and as IT
mad no cattle traffic it was glad enough
to get the dressed beef business, pro-
vided il did not have to furnish the equip
ment necessary to hauling this class or
freight 1t agreed that If the specially
designed cars required for the business
were furnished by the shippers 1t would
be glad to route them over its line In
that agreement was born the private car
line of the United States. After the Grand
Trunk began hauling dressed beef the
other roads were glad to follow suit.

ed in a different color. Thus if one owner chooses red as the color of his monuments, the owner of the property adjoining would have to smear his monuments with blue paint, or some color different from red.
 Report of proper monumenting must be rendered by a mining engi- neer. For an improper report the owner is subject to fine of five hun dred dollars while the engineer may be imprisoned, the law provides.

Mexico Mining Law Proves Suitable

The new mining laws of Mexico, which went into effect January 1, are having the effect of driving out many men who previously posed as full hedged mining engineers, according to Jack Knight of Nacozari, who is in Bisbee. The law makes it oblig atory that an engineer be a 2 aiuate ofsome school of recognized merit before he can practice his profession. It sets a heavy penalty upon infringement of this ruling.
 Knight only recently returned from Montezuma, where he qualified as an engineer before the mineral agent. Mum bers of other American and Mex ican engineers who are now entitled to follow their profession under the law are doing the same thing, he states.
 The chief benefit derived from the law is that it drives out men who have been posing as engineers without having a degree, and in many cases with but little experience to back up their claims.
 It effects American and Me xicans alike in this respect.
 Another good feature of the law is that concerning mOnumenting of prop critics. Now properties must be monumented permantly within sixty days after location with monuments composed of stone and mortar. A longer time is allowed for the marking of older properties, but each claim must be so marked. The law goes further to say that monuments signify ing different ownership must be paint

Big Irrigation Project t.

A St. Johns dispatch says:-A deal is practically consummated whereby John F. Church and associates of Denver have acquired nearly all the water rights and reservoir sites on the little Colorado river in northern Ari- zona between Springerville and Hol- brook. The selling parties are the St. Johns Irrigation company, the Mead ows Reservoir company and the Udall Reservoir company. It is understood from those in a position to know that between eight hundred thousand and a million dollars will be spent by the Denver men on irrigation projects in this part of the country where vast areas of fertile land may be reclaimed.
 This part of Arizona is very little developed so far and it's resources are tremendous. Thousands of acres of rich desert land will be put in a high state of cultivation when the projects are completed.

Gussenheims No Monopoly In Alaska

Gugsenheims No Monopoly ln Alaska.
 A Washington dispatch says:--The interesting spectacle of the Morgan Guggenheim syndicate, through its legal representatives, appearing before a congressional committee to justify its operations in the development of industries in Alaska today packed the room of the senate committee on terri tories. It was denied that the syndi- cate had a monopoly on any industrial interest.
 The proceedings were unique. Some days ago Senator Beveridge received letter from J. P. Morgan & Co.,, ask ing permission to send representatives to answer. Exaggerated reports printed in magazines and newspapers of the work of syndicate formed by that company and the Messrs. Guggen heim."
 Permission was given, and today John N. Steel, general counsel for the syndicate, and Stephen B. Birch, managing director, appeared.
 Birch was put on the stand and his story drawn out by Steel. It result ed in testimony that all the money spent in the enormous development of Alaskan resources had been furnished by the syndicate itself; that the Nor gan-Guggenheim syndicate had not is sued to the public a single bond or share of stocks; that the syndicate had never received anything from the gov ernment in way of money, grants of land or special rights.
 It was testified further that the syndicate owned one railroad and had no interest in any other in Alaska; that it owned one copper mine and had no interest in any other, and that it owned no coal lands at all. It was said that the Cunningham claims hinged upon patents being issued for the claims, and that these negotiations had come to nothing. It was shown that the syndicate was formed in 1906 by the purchase of 46 per cent of the stock of the Northern Commercial company, which owned the North western Steamship company and Northwestern Fisheries company. The latter company packs OO.OOO cases of salmon annually, as compared with the pack of 2,OOO,OOO cases by other interests. Last year the Alaska Steamship company was formed of a reorganization of companies in which the syndicate bought large interests, and now operates eleven steamers.
 A long list of steamship companies in which the Alaskan syndicate has no interest, was given in support of its claim that it was not a monopoly.
 Both Steel and Birch denied that the syndicate is trying to "Gobble up 
 Interrogated by Senator Beveridge the syndicate's interest in coal land claimes, Birch replied that the Messrs. Guggenheim had agreed | to form a 5,OOO,OOOs corporation to develop the lands, one-half interest to be held by the Guggenheims and | the other half by Cunningham and his associates.
 The Guggenheims were to pay 25O,- DOGS for their half, he said, and in addi- tion were to loan loo, ,OOOs if needed.

Statement ot the Stratton's Independence.

Statement of the Stratton's Independence.
 Stratton's Independence has issued it's first report since the reconstruc- tion September s, 1908, says the Min ing and Scientific Press. The mine is at present leased. During the year ended June 30, 1909, the amount of ore raised was 3S,0S2 tons, of which 21, l62 tons was shipped to smelters. The gross value per ton was 26.O4S, and freight and treatment cost 7.42S, leav- ing a net revenue of 1S.6lS Of this net revenue 35.9 per cent went to the company and the remainder to the lessees. The income of the company from this source was l6l, ,S00S. The wet mill for treating the dump ore re- started April 1, and during the three months to June 30 made a profit of j,1S5S. The net profit was 6,2O5S. Out of this 3, ,l25S is paid as dividend, which is at the rate of per cent on
 he capital, and the directors at the
 anne time declared a similar dividend Jn account of the current years oper-
 tions.
 Philip Argall, the consulting engi- neer, is now engaged in elaborating an alternative plan for treating the ore without roasting. On starting the wet mill in April, 1908, treating the low grade dump ores, it was found that the average content was 26 per cent less than was estimated when sampling for dumps. This made all the difference between profit and loss in treatment and opera tions were suspended. investigations were then made with view to finding the richest part of the dumps, and the plant was restarted April 1. During the three months to June 30 the ore treated amounted to F, ,265 tons, aver aging AS per ton, and yielded 15S l-2 tons of concentrates containing 4,235 ounces per ton and 22l tons of concen- trates containing 1. 1.IS6 ounces per ton. The mill is now treating from 6,5OO to 1000 tons per month at a cost of I.52S per ton, and another Chilean mill will shortly bring up the production to 10,- 900 tons per month.-Mining Record.

GoIdfieId May be Great Copper
 Camp.

The term, "Goldfeld, the Greatest Gold Camp in the World" may, in the future, be changed to read: Gold. field, the Great Copper Camp"
 Goldfeld now has four producers of comparatively high-grade copper in the Consolidated, the Florence, the Gold Bar and the Jumbo Extension companies. True, the principal value in the ore from these properties as yet is gold, but there is a gradual change as greater depth of operation is attain ed, bringing more and more copper content into the ore. Ore running as high as D per cent copper is being taken from these properties, and spec linens may be picked running as high as 50 per cent copper. Practically all the sulphide ores in the camp contain from l to per cent copper, and even the oxidized ores carry a slight copper content.
 In the Consolidated workings at 1000 feet depth there is more copper than ever before encountered in the property, and below the 750-foot level of the mine, so far as has been made public, there have been no large de- posits encountered of the dark colored quartz filled with native gold such as is known the world over as the typical Goldfeld 'picture ore." Rich ore has been found in the lower workings of the Consolidated, and in quantity, but it is carrying a constantly increasing content of copper, some of it copper glance.
 In the Florence mine some of the richest ore that is being taken from the lower levels in the south workings contain to 12 per cent copper. "Gray" or "black" copper, containing gold, silver, copper iron and sulphur, is the typical ore looked for in the lower workings of all the Goldfeld properties in the sulphide zone now and is the predominating ore. Here tofore the copper content has not been a serious hindrance to milling, but some of the ore that is being extracted rom various properties now is a smelling ore, pure and simple, cannot be cyanided, and can be handled only through the concentrating process and the concentrates smelted.
 This chanue as outlined is mt aS yet sufficient to cause Goldfeld to be known as other than a great gold camp, but is an indication showing what future development may bring forth. W. A. Clark, the Montana cop per king, some time ago predicted that Goldfeld would, in time, be one of the great copper camps of the world.-Goldfield News.
