The railway matter was put up 10 the
Senate yesterday. when the bill that
passed the House was ''massaged" and
referred to the Committee on Inter
state Commerce.
Most of the discussion Of the bill was
confined 20 little groups 10 make COM

be pruned was admitted. Senator La
Follette's plan for authorizing a physical

into the House bill Unexpectedly will be
knocked out by the Senate. It was said.

The amendment forbiddlng transporta-
ton companies from charging more for
a short haul than for a long haul where
the short one is included in the long. is
the Invest subject. The amendment Of
Senator Dixon, which embodies the
House provision. has been selected as the
rallying point for the friends OF the leg

the last few days show that il cannot
prevail. Nineteen or twenty Republican
insurgents and Senators who represent
intermountain States, which have been
complaining Of the alleged discrimination
against them by the transcontinental
railroads in favor o. Pacific Coast points.
will support the Dixon amendment. but
there will be a sufficient accession Of
Democratic Senators TO the Republican
regulars 20 defeat the amendment. The
friends Of the amendment concede this.
Their most careful polls show not less
than twelve Democratic Senators against
the amendment.
Another Unpopular Feature.
The amendment in the House bill bring

panies under control Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission is not popular in

MERIDA DIDN'T
KNOW OF REVOLT
American Says Yucatan Up
rising Was Only a Very
Small Affair."

Direct from the capitol of Yucatan,
where the Maya indian uprising oc-
CURED recently, j. T. woodward, jr,
of the firm of Lee & woodward, has
an interesting story TO tell of the trou-
bic which resulted from the indian out
break. The trouble began after Mr.
woodward left FL Paso for Merida, the
capital of Yucatan, where his company
has a contract for building a large
milling plant
Upon arriving in the harbor of Pro-
greso. which is the coast port Of Me-
rida, the contracting engineer says
that there was a pocket edition of
Mexican gun boat in the harbor loaded
with soldiers who were being rushed
to Valledolid, the center of the trou-
bic, and where most of the killing oc-
Cured Valledolid is three hours jour-
ney from Merida and the soldiers were
sent from Merida, as rapidly as they
were disembarked, to the scene of the
trouble.
Mr.. woodward said there was little
or no alarm felt because of the upris-
ing by the people of Merida, and had
it not been for the presence of soldiers
marching through the streets and ire
quent reports that prisoners were be-
ing brought back there. he says it
would have been impossible to have
known that a revolution was in pro-
gress- The Lee woodward company
has the contract for erecting a $780,
600 plant which will include flour
mills storage bins. machine shops and
offices All of the work is to be of
concrete and it will be one of the
most modern structures in Mexico when
1t is completed. 1t was for the pur-
pose of signing the contract for this
work that Mr.. woodward was in Yu-
catan- His company also has the con-
tract for erecting a big milling plant
at Tampico.

REPORT IS
MADE BY CANANEA
COPPER 60.
Oil Reduces Operating Ex-
penses-Big Merger Still
Pending.

Cananea, Son., Mex, June 29-The
copper, gold and silver produced by the
Greene-Cananea mines during 1909, and
earnings from miscellaneous sources,
amounted to s5,510,S45.99 gold The to-
tai expenditures on account of copper,
gold and silver were s4.4OS, 286.74, leav-
ing net earnings for the year of s1,102,-
559.25- From these net earnings the
sum of $55S,451.S7 was deducted for
depreciation of construction and i'm
provements, leaving a net profit of
$554,107.3S.
These figures are shown in the an
nual report of the Greene Consolidated
Copper company, issued from the New
York office and just received here The
Greene Consolidated is the American
concern owning the entire capital stock
Of the Cananea Consolidated Copper
company, the Mexican organization
which owns the smelter and other re-
duction works and the majority of the
mines at Cananea. The general report
is made up of reports by DR.. L. D. Rick
etts, president and general manager of
the Cananea Consolidated; John V Mon
tague, auditor of that company, and
w. D. Thornton, president of the Greene
Consolidated.
In DR.. Ricketts's report it is shown
that total of 1,061,536 tons of ore was

and Lumber company deal are eX-
planned by president Thornton of the
Greene Consolidated, in his report, as
follows:
The Cananea Consolidated Copper
company held rs percent of the stock
of the Sierra Madre Land and Lumber
company as a security for the payment
price of the purchase price of
the 81 percent of stock of the
land and lumber company sold to Col.
William C. Greene. Since that time
the mortgage given by the land and
lumber company TO secure its S3,G00,00
Of outstanding bonds was forecIosed
for nonpayment of interest and all its
property has been sold to satisfy its
bonded Indebtedness. The property was
purchased by an English syndicate
headed by DR.. F. S. Pearson"
Concerning the projected Cananea-
Douglas railroad, Mr.. Thornton says:
Approximately $4,000 was expend-
ed in the building of the proposed rail-
road from Cananea to Douglas, Ariz.,
for which the Cananea Consolidated
holds a concession. While this work
was in progress liberal reductions in
freight rates were made by the existing
road, the Cananea, Rio Yaqui & Pacific
Southern Pacific), in consequence of
which the work of building the road
to Douglas was suspended and is now
held in allegiance An amount larger
than that expended should be returned
in the reduction of freight rates re-
ferred to during the current year"
Big Merger Still Pending.
The COle-Ryan merger AT the Greene
Cananea companies has not yet been
perfected, and the present relations of
the various organizations are not gen
orally understood. The S50,000.00
merger concern organized by the Cole
Ryan interests is the Greene-C ananea
Copper company, and this owns control
of the Greene Consolidated Copper COM
pany and the Cananea Central Copper
company. The Greene Consolidated
owns all the capital stock of the Can
anea Consolidated, the principal Mexi-
can holding company and so percent
of the stock of the Sierra de Cobre Cop
ing the Indiana-Sonora mines, which
Phelps-Dodge interests. The Cananea
the San Pedro Copper company of Mex
leo, 40 percent of the stock of the Sierra
de Cobre, and control of the Cananea
Duluth Copper company, an American
anizatiOn. The Cananea Duluth in
turn owns all the stock of the Cananea
Development company, another Mexican
holding company. The merger has been
delayed by the fact that 1t has been
impossible to get in all the stock OF
the three American companies, namely,
the Greene Consolidated, Cananea Cen
trail and Cananea Duluth Eventually,
if the merger is perfected. these COM
panies vii pass out Of existence.
