ON TAX REDEMPTION DAY
New Record Set In City Treasurer's
Office, Clerks Making Overtime to
Accommodate Public.

Tuesday was the biggest tax re-
demption day in the history of the city
treasurer's ONCE. City Treasurer Koch
has made 1t his policy ever since as
Stunning Office 10 guard the property
owners OF the city from the tax title
men so far as lay In his power. and
this year was no exception. He has
advertised a warning to persons who
neglected to pay their 1908 taxes to
get their money In before June 1, and
hundreds did so.
Those who did not get in under the
wire will now have to pay whatever
the tax title men demand to get clear
title to the property. The general
charge Is 10 per cent interest and 100
per cent penalty.
AS an accommodation to the public,
the city treasurer's office was kept
open long after the usual hours Tues
day. and II was 11:20 at night before
all the clerks finished their evenings
work. At that a great many receipts
remained to be written Wednesday
morning, these being added to Tues
days business. Up to closing time
Tuesday 336 receipts for back taxes
were written out for a total payment
OF $14,132 The receipts left over
Tuesday night and completed Wednes-
day number about 100, and call for the
payment OF about $4,000 Of back taxes.
Altogether about $4,000 was saved
to taxpayers by the final redemption
day payments, as the tax title men
would have doubled the payments
June l.
The banks, with the exception OF
the Peoples State, were among the
laggards. Having long lists of mort.
gagged property on which the back
taxes had not been paid. most of the
banks waited until within a day or
two of the final redemption period to
pay up these taxes.

HEARS POLE WAS
BEATEN TO DEATH
Sheriff CASTOR and Deputies Busy
Trying To Run Down Murder
u Rumor.

Rumors that a young Detroit Pole,
named Skrzyski. said to live some
place on Thirty-third-st.. had died
from the effects of beating received
at q picnic in West Wyandotte p
Decoration day, kept Sheriff CASTOR
and his deputies busy, Wednesday,
but they were unable TO find either
the corpse or the man who Is said to
have been killed.
The sheriff has learned that there
was picnic given by number OF
Poles at Joe Barnows.u's saloon and
beer garden in West Wyandotte,
which broke up in a free-for-all fight
Skrzyski was attacked by Joseph
Podzat and Leo Somkowski, and ter
ribly beaten, Il is said He fed to the
yard OF Rural Mail Carrier George
Perry, where the men caught him,
felled him with a blow from a club
and then jumped upon him. Perry
was attracted by the row and drove
the Poles assailants away. He took
the injured man into the house, wash
ed his wounds and then placed him
on q car for Detroit. Perry said the
man was fearfully beaten. and would
doubtless have been killed but for his
interference.
The report reached the sheriff, We'd
nesday, that the man had died In his
home on Thirty-third-st., but deputies
were unable to find any such man on
that street and ell the Poles qucs-
toned professed to know nothing Of
the fight. The Rev p c. Syphers,
who is serving on the Wayne circuit
jury, and who lives In Romulus. says
81 Is freely reported in the down-river
towns that Skrzyski is dead. Deputies
are still investigating No report of
tho death has reached the coroneTs'

THIRTEEN CENTS FEBRUARY

Boston-Thirteen cents is being asked and received for February electrolytic copper Notwithstanding the dulness in copper and the tenn porary recession in price in some quarters there are some of the larg- est sellers of the metal, in position to book big contracts for forward shipment, who have not been obiidg- ed to lower their price and as a re- suit have continued to sell at Is cents.
 On Monday there were new orders booked at 13 cents. delivery running up to the end of February. Beyond that time. however, there has not been much copper contracted for.
 One reason for current dulness is the fact that none of the consumers, in anticipation Of the year-end snven. tory. care to have much of the metal on their hands

MERGER TERMS AND FACTS
 ABOUT THE BONANZA CIRCLE

Boston-A joint meeting of the di
 rectors of the Calumet & Arizona and
 Superior & Pittsburg copper compan
 les was he'd in Chicago on Tuesday
 A. its conclusion the following an
 nouncement was made:
 The boards of directors have had
 under consideration for several
 months the advisability of recon
 mending to stockholders of the re spectiye companies a basis merger fer mutual advantage.
 The committee engaged Dr. Rick cts of the Greene-Cananea Co. and James s. Doug as to assist After rs ceiving this report showing thor. ough examination of underground workings at both companies. equip nents of each and all other assets, ts furnish basis pf relative presen. and future values of property and as sets, the boards are unanimous in re- commenting a merger under the fol lowing plan:
 Capital stock of Calumet & Arizona te be increased to $50 0oo shares, par s1o, giving authorized capital of se.- 5se.000.
 One share of increased stock of Calumet & Arizona to be exchanged for s1k shares of present 1.5o0 900 shares of Superior & Pittsburg out standing, providing majority of stock of Superior & Pittsburg is de posited for exchange before April l.
 In case majority of stock of Super fer & Pittsburg is deposited for ex change before April 1. merger shall be completed but prior thereto diyi. deads shall be declared to Superior & Pittsburg stockholders equal in az sregate to the aggregate amount of dividends paid stockholders of Calu- met & Arizona between August. 1910. and April 1, 1911.
 An estimate of the relative values was fixed as of date about August 15- 1s1e, and such distribution is made for purpose of equaizing relative val ues of date of merger April 1, 1911.
 Boston-The announcement of the consolidation terms Of Calumet & Ari zsna and Superior & Pittsburg in the ration of 1 for 3 F. as agreed to Dy the directors of the two companies, resulted in 4roint decline in Cal umet & Arizona shares soon after the opening yesterday. It has been ex pected that the terms a,s announced soah assist tie market value of Sup erior ( Pittsburg rather than drag town Calumet & Arizona and under ordinary market conditions this prob ably would have resulted.
 On the basis of 13 for Superior x Calumet & Arizona shares work out an equivalent valuation Of i5. The present Calumet & Arizona shares carry 8 s1 dividend which must be taken into consideration, al

, though a sight compensation ac- crues to Superior & Pittsburg by vir tue of the fact that. according to the official announcement. dividends shall be declared on Superior & Pittsburg equivalent in the aggregate to the aggregate amounts Of dividends paid stockholders of Calumet & Arizona between Aug. 15. 1910 and April 1, 1911.
 Calumet < Arizona at the present time has 100000 shares. It is pro posed to increase this to e50,00o shar es. The exchange of shares on the basis indicated: however. will absorb only 42s.50e of new stock, making the total amount to be outstanding 62S. .500 shares of an authorized capi- tai of 65G.D00 share,s In other words. after the consolidation there will re main in the treasury of the new com pany, besides large cash working capital. 21.5oo shares of unissued stock.
 At the present time the output of each company Is in the neighborhood of 25.00o.000 pounds of copper per annum made at cost close to sh cents per pound. It must be said. however, that the Calumet & Arizon output as well as the copper contents of it's ore, has shown heavy decreases for the last i've years. On the other hand. Superior & Pittsburg has beer coming forward rapidly both in re spect to volume and an increasing grade of ore.

FIRE DAMAGES
STEAM DREDCE
Building of New Terra Gotta
at Woodbridge We're
Endangered.
DYNAMITE WAS NEARBY

Fire on a steam dredge doing the
excavating at the new plant of the
Federal Terra Gotta Company near
Maurers about o'clock Sunday
night came near proving disastrous,
not only to the dredge but to the
buildings in course of construction.
The fire started near the engine
room of the dredge and did about
500 damage. Chief Engineer AL
fred Dimock drew the fire from un-
der the boilers of the dredge and
averted an explosion.
Mr.. Dimock had both his hands Sc
verely burned while fighting the fire,
but is again at work today. There
is considerable dynamite used In
blasting stored in building a short
distance away and an explosion of
the boiler would probably have add
ed to the disaster.
Receiving Clerk Townsend, Con-
tractor John Meyers and Foreman of
Construction John Preacher, all
fought the blaze to prevent 1t from
spreading. The dredge, which is
owned by Craven and Linder, of New
York, is one that is used on land. The
loss is covered by insurance. The
damage has been temporarily re-
paired and the dredge is at work
again.
