questioning, which resulted in placing

East is Behind on Utah Copper Road

In view of the circumstance that the Utah Construction company has for several weeks had large forces of men employed upon construction work of the Bingham & Garfield railroad, which is admittedly designed to trans port ores of the Utah Copper company from its Bingham mines to its mills at Garfield, the information, printed simultaneously in New York and Bos- ton financial journals, that Utah Cop per is considering" the building of a new railroad, is interesting. Copies of the Wall Street Journal and the Boston News Bureau, which reached this city yesterday, say:
 ''In conjunction with the enlarge ment of the Utah Copper company's mill from a capacity of 5000 tons daily to l2,O0O tons daily, and the Boston Consolidated mill from 2,700 tons daily to 6,OOO tons daily, or total aggregate tonnage of lS,000 tons, the question is receiving the attention of the execu- tive committee as to the method of transporting that amount of ore from the mines to the mills. The present branch line of the Denver & Rio Grande was only built for the purpose of handling some 5000 tons per day, and has had great difficulty to meet the rapidly increasing production of Utah Copper the past year.
 Engineers of the Utah Copper com pany have been recently making sur veys to ascertain the practicability of having the company build a railroad of its own from the mine to the mills, and have finally located one which will be only seventeen miles long, as compared with twenty-seven miles of the Denver & Rio Grande, and will have an even l-2 per cent grade the entire distance from the mine to the mills, which will permit of very low cost of operation.

The history of the San Fernando mines is interesting. They were for merly owned by the San Fernando Mining company, a Calumet x Hecla concern, and were abandoned a few years ago in the belief that hopes en- tertained of very extensive production could not be realized. This was after great expenditures had been made and about 7,OOO,OOOS worth of ore taken out. When the decision to abandon the enterprise was reached the titles to the mines were turned over to Mir. Caufeld as gift. He had been con- nected with the company for a num- Der of years as superintendent of con- struction, metallurgist and Culiacan representative.
 The men at the head of the Calu- met & Hecla enterprise paid 750,0OOS for the San Fernando mines II years ago on the strength of reports that placed the possible production at LOGO tons daily. Several shafts were put down nn the Fortuna, a big gold-cop- per vein, and fully 1,50O,00OS, gold, hydro-electric plant on the Humaya river, the erection of a mill, concen. trating plant and shelter, and the construction of about 10 miles of cleo tric railroad. At a depth of 600 feet the profitable ore gave out, and this resulted in the later abandonment of the properties. The company engi, neers expressed the belief that the proposition was not as big as expected and desired by the Calumet & Hecla men. Extensive faults are encounter ed in that section of Durango. Since the abandonment of the mines several engineers have reported favorably on the future possibilities.
 When the San Fernando company ceased operations MT. Caufield was given a commission for the dismant ling of the properties and the sale of the mining, reduction and electrical equipment. At an expense of 35,0OOS he had all machinery and materials freighted to Culiacan, and since that time he has realized 90,O0OS from sales. The greater part of the equip ment is still on his hands.
 For some time Mir. Caufeld has been treating a small amount of ore from the TocayO, vein on which limited amount of development was done for the San Fernando company, in arras- tras, and has been securing a monthly profit. The Tocayo ore is exclusively gold.

will include the building of number of short tunnels aggregating collect lively about a mile in length.
 1.-The Utah Copper company at this time is lending money on the street, and has some $500, ,OOOs of cash, cop per and receivables on hand. The construction of such a railroad as above proposed would cost in the neighborhood of 2,5OO,OOOs. and in con- nection with the final decision to build this railroad, which should give an additional profit to the Utah Cop per company of some 6OO,OOOS or 7OO,- 0O0S year, it is not unlikely that the question may come before the board within a short time as to whether this railroad shall be built out of present cash assets or whether such railway may sell an issue of bonds when built, the Utah company reserving its pres ent $500, O00S of cash assets for work ing capital in connection with the large amount of copper which it will have steadily in process. ."-SalU Lake Herald-Republican.

Biq Concession,

The Sonora Copper Smelling Con- pany operating the great Cobre Grande copper mines east of Noria, Sonora, Mexico, in the Magdalena mining district, has just been granted the most liberal, important concession ever granted any American company doing business in the great state of Sonora.
 The concession grants the company the exclusive right to erect and oper- ate a shelter for the treatment of metals with a minimum capacity of one hundred tons per day, also for the construction of railroads, telegraph and telephone lines all of which shall be exempt from all state and munic- ipal taxes.
 For the term of twenty years from the 9th day of June. 1910, all the pro- ducts of the company shall be exempt from state and municipal taxes and for the same period, the employees work ing for the company shall be exempt from all personal taxes and military service.
 Under the terms of the concession, the Sonora Copper Smelling Company can with the 100-ton shelter now be- ing assembled for immediate installa- tion, produce red metal at an annual saving of nearly 2O,OOOS, which in con- nectIon with the economical method of developing and mining the vast ore bodies already blocked out and being daily added too, makes the big con- pany the most valuable mining prop osition in the great Magdalena dis trict. and also demonstrates beyond a per adventure of a doubt, the fact that

Golden Bee Lease Opens High
 Grade.

Six inches of high-grade gold ore, with the remainder of the four-foot ledge all material of good milling grade, is the showing in the bottom of shaft which Jesse Orwin and George Gobridge are sinking in the Independ- ence claim of the Golden Bee Mining company, about one mile north of Ban- mock, Nevada.
 The shaft is down only about 20 feet but it has been in ore continuously. At the surface the streak of high grade ore was only two and three in ches wide, and it has widened steadily until in the bottom of the shaft is at least six inches of the rock which shows coarse gold to the naked eye.
 The strike bears every appearance of being one of the best yet made in the district. It is on the extension of the vein system in the Iron Canyon Gold Mining comDany's property, ad- joining, from which during the last year, with relatively meager develop ment. have been made several carload shipments of ore which have brought close to 70S a ton net at the shelter. Both the Iron Canyon and the Golden Bee groups are owned by Jesse W. Fox, of this city, and associates.
 More men are working in the Ban mock district at this time than were employed during the period of the camps boom, year or so ago, said Mr Fox, who returned yesterday from the camp. The greater number is em- ployed working with dry washers the graves of nearby gulches. Many of them, Mir. Fox was informed, are regularly cleaning up from los to 30S a day in gold, the gravel yielding from D cents to B cubic yard.
 The Nevada-Omaha company is bending it's energies to attaining depth on its ledge. It has a shaft down $50 feet and will sink 50 feet fur ther before drifting. The shaft is in ore of good milling -Salt-Lake Herald Republican.

Big Improvements For Grand Canyon.

The Grand Scenic Railway, backed by retired brewer of Cleveland nam ed Oppman, says a Washington dis patch, had hearing before the Pub lie Lands Committee of the House on its application for a permit to build a gasoline motor line about sixteen miles along the brink of the Grand Canyon from Fl Tovar Hotel at the head of Bright Angel trail to Grand View Point, also to construct an in- clined tunnel from the top of the bank to Granite Ledge, about 5000 feet be- low the rim of the canyon, and by means of traction railway to reach the Indian Gardens 1,6OO feet above the bed of the Colorado river.
 Plans are said to call for the expen- allure of about a million dollars. The committee is in doubt whether it would be better to allow a private corpora tion to make these improvements or whether they ought to be made by the government, which has been planning to build roadway along the canyon rim. The committee has taken the proposition under advisement.

A IDEA.

The Record today publishes the call
of the Democratic City Central Com
mittee for primaries to select candi-
dates for the city election, etc. The
Record is frankly opposed to this
action by the committee and believes
that a mistake has been made, and
one that will react on the Democratic
party to its injury. We believe the
members of the committee were sin
cere in their statement that they did
not possess the power to pull down
a Democratic ticket at this time. but
also believe they were mistaken.
The Democratic party cannot af
ford to do either or both of two
things this year in this city. 1t can
not afford to ia. in line with the sa
loon element and fight the dry
movement. for by SO doing it would
ALLEVIATE a large percentage of the
voters of the party. 1t would be do
ing a moral wrong and would be q
fearful mistake politically, one that
would cause endless dissentions in
