CUBANS WELCOME
AMERICAN CAPITAL
Colony Started Just After the Span.
ish War Is Thriving and
Prosperous.

The work of improving the channel
between Nuevitas and Guanaja bays
is being theoretically pushed by the
Cuban government. A powerful dredge
Is now at work in the Sabinal canal,
which connects these two bays, and
1t is expected that the channel will
be opened SO as to permit the pas
sage of small steamers by the sum-
mer of 1911. The work is in charge
OF Mr.. Ignacio Agramonte chief engi-
neer of Samaguey Province. Mr..
Agramonte was educated in the Unit
ed States, and is heartily in sympathy
with the effort being made by the
Americans to develope the fertile
lands which have been so long ne
elected by the Cubans.
The prime object in improving the
Sabinal canal is to afford better
transportation facilities to the large
and growing American colony of La
Gloria, which is situated in the Cubitas
valley fronting on Guanaja Bay,
about fifty miles west of the harbor
oil Nuevitas. La Gloria was the first
American colonization enterprise in
| the Island of Cuba after the close of
the Spanish war, having been started
by Cuban Land & Steamship company
OF No. 80 Broadway, New York City,
in 1899. From small beginning it
has grown to be a thriving and pros
porous community, having a popula-
ton of over one thousand English
speaking people, with churches, Cuban
and American schools, stores. saw
mill and various shops. The principal
industry is the growing of grape fruit
oranges and other varieties of citrus
fruit. Over three thousand acres
have been cleared and are now in
groves, many of which have been
bearing for several years and pro-
! ducing fruit of a quality equal to the
best products of Florida and Cali
| fornia. La Gloria grape fruit is con-
sidered by many as far superior to
any grown in the United States The
abundant rainfall in Cuba obviates
| the necessity of irrigation. and the
| rich soil in the Cubitas valley re-
quires no fertilization. These two
principal items of expense in raising
citrus fruit in California can be placed
in the profit column by the La Gloria
fruit grower. Cuba is also absolutely
free from any danger by frosts.
Tfa Cuban government has for some
/ time been taking lively interest III
this thriving little settlement and
has constructed telford macadam
highway connecting the town with the
bay, distanc OF four and one-hali
miles. The cost Of this road was
about $S5,000 and the improvement OF
the SabinaI canal will, it is estimated
amount to nearly 100000 more
There has been much talk about the
Cubans being unfriendly to the Ameri
cans, but the interest taken by the
Cuban government in this American
settlement is proof to the contrary
Legitimate American Investment is
4 favored by the thinking Cuban, and
where Americans are making good, as
they are at La Gloria the Cuban gov
eminent is ready to extend a helping
hand. The work of the Americans al
| La Gloria means much to Cuba. 1t is
opening up one of the most fertile
sections of the Island, heretofore lying
idle and unproductive, and the Cubans
are not slow to appreciate it's value.

indebtedness and is earning well each month when it's output and the low figure at which 1t is sold is taken into consideration. It is, in common with others, restricting its output to reduce surplus that has long in- jured the market, but it is steadily developing its lands and proving its value as a substantial property.
 Superior & Pittsburg has a great work ahead in exploring all it's hold ings. It has it's Briggs shaft to open up, and here will probably be devel- oped one of the big ore Geposits of the Bisbee camp. It has the Cole shaft to give attention. In this DOT ton of its lands it has already de- veloped ores and it is certain that they will prove. most valuable. The Cole shaft, like the Briggs, is idle at this time. the company conserving it's mineral to lessen tine overstock in the general market and to await the advent of better prices before increasing it's productive volume.
 The longer the wait to determine Arizona and Superior & Pittsburg lands the better it is going to look for Superior & Pittsburs for the reason that this company has much larger acreage, by far the greater DOT .tion of which is yet untouched, that is sure to prove mineral of great value, and becausesit is now working on very large ore deposits that are of high grade. The Junction mine is proving a wonder. the Hoatson is coming along strong. and soon the entire group will be showing It's ca pacity.
 Calumet & Arizona has reached it's maximum, probably, although it is still good mine and will be for many years to come, but its lands do not compare In extent with Su- perior & Pittsbufg. It has fine cash surplus and smelter plant, but Superior & Pittshurg can get these things because, as we have always maintained. it has the ore and the ore is good.
 There is no friction between the shareholders of these companies, Whatever conclusion is arrived at will be secured in an amicable man. ner and the aim will be to make any merger of mutual interest. And if a merger fails of consummation both organizations can still go on and do business successfully. It would be economy to merge, however, and plan may be presented that will meet with the approval of both Iron Ore.

SHELTER WAR VERY BITTER
 SAYS REPORT FROM BUTTE

BUTTE, Mont, Oct. 26.-According to talk of mining men who have smelter arrangements with the Inter- national Smelling company and al jed smelling interests like the Amalgam- ated, Cole-Ryan people, the fight be- tween the International and the American Smelting & Refining com pany is more bitter than the public has been understanding. With the erection of an international smeiter in the Ely district, as contemplated, every field of the American Smelt- ing & Refining company except Colo rado will be invaded by the new smelling company Colorado IS not an inviting field for the Cole-Ryan people, as ore production has fallen off so greatly in that state that the Guggenheims can operate only three Of their seven furnaces in that state
 The International and it's allied in terests now have the big smelter at Anaconda, one in Great Falls, the new plant at Tooele, Utah, the Cal umet & Arizona, and the Coie-Ryan plant at Cananea, Mexico, these GOV ering the entire field from which the American Smelting X Refining com pany draws its ores.
 When the latter had clear field it's charges for ore treatment were high, allowing a profit of s4 to s6 per ton. The excessive smelter charges made many enemies among western miners. and the international

interests have big advantage in that fact alone, Fwhile it's smelling plants are all new and modern. With these advantages the International will be satisfied with profits of $1 to S1.50 per ton and its purpose evi- dently is to prevent the American Smelling & Refining company from renewing any of its old and highly profitable contracts.
 The days of enormous smelling earnings are over. The best con tracts the American Smelling & Re fining company has left is that of the Utah Copper company, and it is said that the profits made by the smelting company are something and would shock stockholders of the Utah Copper if they knew their ex- tent. The International interests ex- pect to treat a normal tonnage of custom ore of about 800 tons per day. At a profit of only $1 per ton it would amount to si,S25, 900 in one year. or half as much more at $L5o per ton. It is expected that this will represent a tonnage the Ameri- can Smelling & Refining company will lose, upon which 1t has been making a profit. at s per ton, of s9, ,i2s. 900.
 Although there has been a kind of a denial of the reported extensive purchase of property in the Ely Ne yada, district by the Cole-Ryan in terests mining men at present in this city, are positive in their declarations that the story given out is true, as it comes direct frc-u an officer of the East Ely Townsiee company from whom the property was secured. It is stated with some degree of author ity that the amount paid by the Cole Ryan people was in the vicinity oi q, 600 900. The recently acquired property gives the Co1e-Ryan inter ests some soc building lots in Ely and includes valuable water rights
 T don't think said a man who is in the city from Ely and who is quite close to the Cole-Ryan people, that the new owners intend to give much attention to dealing in build ing lots. and ! have reason to believe that the question that is already en- gazing their attention is that of the erection Of a large smelter. but whether this sme'ter will be erected

in Ely or at the Giroux mine is a question yet to be decided It is be- lieyed that the selection of smelter site will soon be decided so as to commence work on the buildings this fall and if necessary carry on work the greater part of the winter.
 "The big question to be solved is whether it will be cheaper to pump water from East Ely to Giroux for a smelter at that place or to build a smelter outside of Ely and construct a railroad to the mine. The purchase of the immense tract of ground is at tracing the attention of the entire mining world as 1t Is believed that 1t means much for the farther exten- sive development of the mining prop critics of the west

GREENE CANANEA.

Boston-Accompany;ng the recent fractional advance in the shares of the Greene-Cananea Copper O. has been a report. that the company's un- issued 100000 shares would be used in acquiring shares of other cole Ryan companies, Such an idea is not now being considered nor was it ever the plan to bring about a mer- ger in this way. As a matter of fact there is no likelihood of any copper merger until after Washing ton has handed down some important corporation, decisions as it will be useless for plans to be drawn up now only to have them battered to pieces by adverse court rulings.

The report of Dr. Tickets and ]. s. Douglas has been presented to the directors of Calumet & Arizona and Superior & Pittsburg copper mining companies. While it has not yet been made public it is of much value as showing the probable active future of these properties. The gentlemen who have written the report did so after most exhaustive examination of the mineral values present and prospective of the lands in question. They are cminently wei, fitted to pass judgment upon them both being experts in their lines and both hay ing had long and practical experi. ence in the copper mines of the southwest
 It is said among the brokers tha; there is much discrepancy between the shareholders of the two mining companies as to the proper basis for merging. This is only natural. mans money.
 It will probably be found that Su. perior & Pittsburg is a. great copper holding concern, that its holdings are very extensive and that it has a great fture. Coming rom such a re. liable and compentent source the in- formation will be given much consid. eration. So that even if the basis of amalgamation be not settled the re part will show that both organiza- tions are worthy, It will do much to offset the report that have gone out from time to time that the min era1 prospects Of these concerns were not so encouraging as the investors in them would like. It will be re port that will bear out the state, ments and predictions of those who have always insisted that these com. panies owned much that should earn dividends for the shareholders.
 For years Iron Ore has insisted upon the legitimacy of Superior & Pittsburg as well as of Greene Can anea. Our work had to wo with the mines, which we frequently exam ined. but not with the financial feat ures, this being a matter for the shareholders. The physical features of the properties were the things our readers expected us to give them information upon and we told the story as We read it underground. IL has all come about just as we printed it would, and it will be even better and bigger than we ever claimed for it. These properties would be show ing their ability now if copper were selling at fair price. As it is both are making money, and Superior & Pittsburg has paid off a very heavy

NEW YORk-Recent activity on the Stock Exchange has been in re freshing contrast with the stagnation of the last few months. The bet ter undertone which was intimated iE these adyiees as early as Sept embeT 10 has at last crystalliZed in 10 an active demand for stocks at advancing prices As usual, the in itiative was assumed by powerful financial leaders who recognized changed conditions, and each day the buying movement widened with a resultant advance of several points in all the leading shares.
 The most important single element of improvement was the positive as surance of a bumper corn crop. The value of a good harvest is much more highly appreciated in the West than here. As a result of the big corn yield, our Western farmers and merchants have each put on a. spirit of renewed con fidence. so that already the business outlook throughout the great corn belt is showing real improvement Pessimism. never so deep In the West as in the East. is now rapid ly disappearing; for the farmers wia be able to meet their obliga- tions, and land speculation has re ceived wholesome quietus through the timely efforts exerted by inter- for bankers.

 All anxiety about the local money market has now disappeared. Tem porary stringency may occur be tween now and the first Of the year. and the importance of the advance in the Bank of England rate should not be overlooked.

On the other hand, funds withdrawn for crop moving pur poses will soon begin to return from the West. and with lower prices for commodities and the lesseaed ac' tivity of business there should be no scarcity of loanable funds.

The improvement in the security markets will undoubtedly act as a stimulant; and the stock market it should be remembered has a habit of discounting such recupers- tions in advance It is doubtful q the rise in securities has yet reach ed it's continuation, but after the recent rapid advance a moderate

BY n. EVER HIT

The Los Angeles Rifle and Revolver
club members gave three-act pur-
lesoue on the Glendale range yester-
day entitled 1.-THE Winning Team at
Pamp Gerry" Wotkyns of the South
ern California Rifles, who acted as au-
dience, and the marker agreed that
it was one of the funniest things they
had ever seen.
C. F. Nichols took the part OF
adam Dub" Z. C. Crossman played
IN. e. Verhittem,' DR.. Felsenthal un-
dertook the role of the Indian chief'
"Itwasn' n'tduetomyholdin'," while Har-
ry Miles brought down rounds of ap-
plause by his rendition of the Chinese
cook, "Ah Rats" Mrs. e. q Cross
man rendered solo, with cnorus py
the company, entitled "It was the fault
of that ammunition" The one regret
table feature of the play was that
somebody made bullseye. How the
accident occurred cannot be stated, but
precautions were taken to prevent its
recurrence.
c. F. Nichols did a skirt dance in
the first act, after getting a miss, that
brought down the house and every
thing else within kicking distance.
Crossman gave splendid exhibition
in the olio of single-handed fancy
grabbing that was voted one of the
hest seen this season, while "Ah Rats"
set the house into roars by his side
splitting explanation of what the light
did to his bullets.
After the conclusion of the playlet,
an informal excuse-making contest
was held, in which the entire company
tied by a vote of the audience and it
seemed almost necessary to call the
police in to pry the company loose
from each other. Some shooting was
also done, but this was of minor i'm
portance.
Arrangements will be made to repeat
the performance, if possible, in coll
laboration with the Southern Califor-

vowing that he would rather see the
play over again than witness what
