(By Associated Press :

Chicago, Jan. photographic wires
in the area from the Missouri
river to Buffalo and from the Ohio
river to the Great Lakes were serious
ly hampered today. Fog, sleet, rain
and snow disabled many of the wires
and some points had to be reached
by unusually long routes.
In Chicago the temper 81 the peo
pie was put to a severe test when the
city suffered the worst deluge OF slush
of the season. Four weeks accumu.
lation of snow was suddenly melted by
jump in the temperature and aided
by doWnpour of warm rain. The
streets and the sidewalks became vast
pools in some places foot deep. Al
most the entire city was covered
with from four to six inches Of water
and in the outlying districts the water
overflowed the sidewalks and rushed
into the Easements.
In the downtown districts during
the night homeward rush hours, the
crowds splashed over their shoe tops
into mud and snow. Policemen kept
guard at crossings to caution women
and children from falling into deep
puddles. Frozen sewer drains pre-
vented a proper escape of the deluge
on many streets.

.UN|ON|S1S STILL
HOLD THE Lead
(By Associated Preaa.)


London, Jan. 17.-At the conclusion
of today's polling in the general
elections the parties stood as fol-
lows:
Unionists 81; Liberals II; Labor
ties 16; Nationalists 13. Net gain
for the Unionists 20.
The government Jared much bet
ter today than their ardent support
ers expected. The Unionists gained
10 seats, the Liberals 4 and LagOr-
ties /, making net gains for the
Unionists for the day of fourteen,
one less than they gained at fewer
elections on Saturday.
This practically assures the return
of the Liberal power with fair ma
jority, for among the places still to
poll are those in Scotland and Wales
which always are solidly Liberal.
There cannot be said to have been
many surprises today. Some ex-
pected that John Burns, president
of the local government board, would
be defeated in the Battersea division
of Battersea and Clapham, but pes1
simism has been present every elec-
tion since Burns has been candi-
date and he himself never had any
doubt as to the result,

Over the Property's Showing.

"The complexion of the Calumet
Corbin company has undergone a rad
zeal change during the past few days
said Superintendent w. C. Hosking
today. Until recently the chief stock
holders were Michigan capitalists. The
company is now controlled by prom
inent st. Paul and Duluth people who
will prosecute vigorous development
campaign"
Mr. Hosking is in Butte with DIR. s.
O. Arnold, one of the heavy st. Paul
stockholders who came west with the
superintendent to look over the COM
pany's plant. These two have been in
the Radersburg district the past few
days, the company having under con-
sideration the purchase of valuable
mining claims in that neck of the
woods. They were well pleased with
what they saw and on the strength of
the report they will make to the board
of directors it is predicted that the
Calumet-C orbin will become a prom
inent factor i'm the fast developing
Radersburg belt.
The Radersburg property we have
in view looks very promising" said
Dr. Arnold, land l believe some day,
should it be decided to acquire it, that
we will have another good mine there
in the not distant future"
While Mr.. Hosking did not desig-
nate which of the Radersburg mines
was under consideration, he said that
it is now in the hands of locators hav-
ing been developed only insofar that
a 40-foot shaft has been sunk.
He was very enthusiastic over the
recent strike in the Calumet Corbin
mine in the Wickes district. He said:
I'VE have fine big body of silver
lead ore there opened last week in the
bottom of the 300-foot shaft and il is
now decided to go on sinking at once
to the 400 level. For that purpose
new engine. boilers and compressor
plant will be installed as quickly as II
can be shipped in"

UNLISTED STOCKS.

]. A. Minnear e. Co. say today:
Further dullness in the eastern mar
kets was noted today although the
bulk of the trading was done at high
er figures. The announcement of the
Quincy dividend of 81 and so cents
extra caused an advance of points
in this stock ard gave the whole cop
per share market a firmer undertone,
particularly the Lake Superior copper
issues. The directors of the North
Izitte are scheduled to meet in Duluth,
February 2S for dividend action. 1t is
iikelv that the dividend will be so cents
per share. c. & A. directors will meet
about Feb. %, and undoubtedly will
announce a dividend of 81 per share.
The Butte camp miners did not go
underground today but 1t is likely that
the difficulty there will be satisfactor-
ilv adjusted in a day or two. Han
cock Mangas and Bohemia were ac-
tive curb features today. Hancock
looks like a good buy on the strength
of reaching No. 2 west lode within the
next week or ten days. Mangas buy
ing continues strong with large blocks
wanted at the bid price. Bohemia
traded freely around s13. North In
diana probably will be put on the mar
ket at the end of the week. While
there will probably be no heavy trad
ing. for the next week or two, we loon
to see a slightly better range of quo
tatiOns.

MR.. CAMPBELL INTERVIEWED.
c. & A. Secretary Believes Copper
Merger Has Vanished in Thin Air.

Gordon r. Campbell and Thomas
Hoatson of Calumet, Mich, and w.
p. Harlow of Boulder, Colo, arrived
last evening from the east coming by
the way of Clifton. Ariz., where they
spent two days sightseeing in that
district, says the Bisbee Review. Mr..
Campbell is the secretary of the Calu-
met & Arizona. Mr.. Hoatson is the
second vice president and Mr.. Hsrlow
is one of the stockholders.
The party expects to remain here
and in this vicinity for the next three
weeks. They were met at the Copper
Queen hotel last evening by Col. l.. w.
Powell, third vice president and mat
ters pertaining to c. & A. affairs were
discussed.
A Review reporter saw Mr. Camp
bell at the Copper Queen hotel
shortly after his arrival and asked him
about conditions in the east.
What caused the decline in the
price of c. & A. stock?" was the first
question asked BY the reporter.
What caused the decline in al
stocks ?" was the question handed the
reporter in the shape of an answer.
but C,,& A. began to decline first,
replied the reporter.
"That may be so, but the remainder
of the list was not far behind" was
the rejoinder.
what caused the slump in stocks

was asked. He ventured the opinion
that all stocks were inflated and. il
was necessary that the country e
through a leveling process. Yes. and
the powers that be are still leveling,

How about the big copper merge
about which we all read so much sew

"My opinion is that the merger ha
vanished in thin air" said the Calu
met e. Arizona secretary. There is
sentiment in this country against mer
gers of any kind just at present"
Mr.. Campbell stated that outside
the speculative markets business J

IMMIGRATION LAW is FAULTY

(Continued from Page -
immigration, which during 1909, fell
off from the two previous years, the
commissioners says, is reassuming nor
NAL proportions. The months of jan
nary to June 1909. however, showed IN

Their read nor write. an increase in the
ratio of illiteracy to 20 per cent as
against 26 per cent in 1908. For vari-
Gus reasons 10,411 aliens were de-
ported.
Reference is made again to the in
teresting and important economic
problem arising from the fact that
very large proportion of immigration
is coming from southern and eastern
Europe. those countries furnishing
about 81 per cent of the immigrants.
The continuance of this preponderance
is declared to be question concern
ing every patriotic citizen. for 1t is
stated there can be little homogenity
between people of that section and the
real American.
A distribution of more than 5000
persons was effected during the 10
months ended June 1909. through the
operations of the division of informa
ton. of whom 1855 were sent To agri-
cultural communities. The division
is directing it's efforts toward prac-
tical solution of the problem OF the
scarcity of farm help.
Particular care has been taken to
direct no men to work where they
might be used to replace labor already
employed. The field of activity COM
prised 40 states and one territory.
There were issued during the year
s7.ss7 certificates of naturalization, an
excess Of 11,S2O over the preceding

principal work of naturalization was

Head Of Copper Queen Says Improve

There is every reason to believe
that we shall gradually see an i'm

The above was the expression of
opinion by DIR. James Douglas, presi-
dent of the Copper Queen CONSOLIDATE
ed Mining company, who arrived in
Risbee on Wednesday direct from the
east, says the Bisbee Review.
You may say that the indications
are that we shall soon see a better
copper market"
The above statement by DIR. Doug
las, who is in a position to know the
condition of the copper market. will
be good news for the copper mining
interests of the southwest.
The present price of copper should
not cause much complaint" continued
DIR. Douglas. 1T remember not so long
ago when we all thought 1S cents and
IL cents very good price. OF course,
mat was before the boom prices which
was bad thing in general. What is

which can be maintained; a price that
would be alike fair to the producer,

How is the copper merger coming

Review man.
Personally, I am not familiar with

the merger plans said the president
OF the Copper Queen company. "The

Phelps Dodge company have never
