plan that will insure to every Of your stockholders,
that he will get 100 cents the dollar for his previous in
vestment and in the meantime have security that will
be convertible into water continue to draw per cent
interest until paid off.
There was nothing in our proposition to interfere
with the organization of Irrigation District Should
the people want an irrigation district it is matter that
can be taken up after the present needs provided for
and when it will not work hardship any await
ing the time when such legal and financial problem
be worked out We have already expressed willingness
to take up negotiations with those whom the people elect
to represent them In the meantime the development OF
the land should not be retarded for the lack of water with
an abundant supply at hand.
To attempt to give option the Golden Drift prop
erty at this time out of the question: for the that
the Golden Drift contract with the Josephine County E
rgation and Power Company gives you option the
water rights power plant and adjacent land for the sum
of $3OOOOO This option does not expire until June 1st
1911.
Our plan for immediate irrigation would permit
large area to come under adequate system of irrigation
bitches this year. Believing that the land owners and
large majority of your stockholders favor such plan,
propose submit it at the annual meeting of stockholders
ers to be held February 2st 19 and shall be for them
to decide whether they will allow furnish water this
b;lo ic vattim to The
whether they prefer to wait for indefinite something
that gives no promise of materialzing
In the interval 1 suggest that you invite everybody
who wants water this year to attend the meeting
propose that any proposition that to come before
the meeting should first be given to the press for publ
cation, as the stockholders entitled to full nforma-
tion so that practical plan be worked out without
needless delays time is the of the prosperity
that irrigation will bring this year to farmers to labor

TWO-DOLLAR COPPER ORE.

The Ely Expositor says. Cop
per ore carrying eight-tenths of
one per cent of the metal is being
mined by the Nevada Consolidated
at Copper Flat, transported %
miles from the pit to the CON
contractor and there treated at such
a low cost that profit is being
made by the company. The ore
is being put through one section
of the concentration at the rate of
1000 tons per day, and of the 16
pounds of metal that each ton con-
tains, on the average, between IL
and II tons are extracted by the
process of concentrating and smelt-
ing in use at McGill. The value
of the crude ore is about 81 per
ton on the average, with the price
of copper lowering around 12R
cents a pound. The ore comes
from the south end Of the big pit
at Copper Flat near which some
extremely high-grade ore has been
found. The low-grade ore has been
opened up by the work of taking
out the high-grade, which is the
reason that it can now be handled
50 cheaply that a profit results
to the company

THE FABLES OF THE FOXES.

Once upon time a band of
foxes got together and passed reso-
buttons against one of their num-
Der, denouncing him as a robber
of hen roosts.
ut is true" replied the accused,
that am chicken thief, but
isn't that the way we all manage
to prolong our existence in this
world. Am I the only one to be
tried for this offense?"
Yes, we all rob hen roosts, re-
piled the gang, But you go around
advertising the fact 1t is against
the ethics of the profession to in
dulge in publicity" and they i'm
mediately threw him out of the

SHIVELY Mine IS
BONDED To TONOPAH
men FOR $4,000
KEITH AND KERR TAKE LEASE
AND BOND ON RICH GRASS
ROOT SHIPPER.

The Shively mine, discovered last
October, which has since its dis
covery shipped $4,000 in lead-sil-
yer ore as a grass-root proposition,
and which started the present min
ing revival in that district, was
leased ana bonded last week to
Frank Keith, formerly general man
ager of the great Tonopah mine.
and Mr. Kerr, also of Tonopah, for
the sum of $4,000.
This deal is significant from the
fact that the Shiyely mine has
been most wretchedly worked, and
because of this work, has retarded
it's own development, as well as re-
tarding the development of the en-
tire district. The men who have
taken hold of it are thorough min
ing men with wide experience. They
announce that they will sink a shaft
and crosscut and properly explore
the the property at depth. The
DEEPEST shaft now is 80 feet, where
nine men are now working. This
shaft has rich ore at depth in
place, which brings the prospects
of the property into high hopes

BURROS WE'RE OSSIFIED.


A. f. Smith of Salt Lake, who
was in Greenwater, Cal, during
the boom days of that camp, tells
a good story which was related to
him by "Chuckawalla' Jones, a
mining man as ancient as the hills,
and who never exhausted his fund
of anecdotes or "reminiscences. Fol-
lowing is one of Jones stories;
"One day l was out prospecting
with five burros Four of them
were loaded with packs, and | was
riding the fifth. l was driving the
burros ahead of me, single-file, over
new portion of the country, Sud
denly the burro in the lead, stop
ped and, although | yelled and
shouted at him he would not go
an inch further. Soon the second
burro was abreast of him and he
stopped also. The third burro SEEM
ed rooted to the ground when he
was alongside of the second one;
and you can bet | was getting
real mad. | kept the fourth burro
moving, but he came to a standstill
also as soon as he got up with
the bunch. My language, at this
period, was not at all choice, and
| ran my burro up to the seem
ing dead line, unslung my pick
and got off with the avowed in
tention of killing the whole outfit
of burros ON the spot. But when
touched the ground | could not
move a foot. Looking around
saw that we were on great lode
stone, or edge of magnetic iron
and that we were all cemented to
it because of the iron shoes of the
burros and the nails in my boots.
The only way | could get loose
was to slip my feet out of my
boots, which l did.
Il then walked to the valley, in
my stocking feet, where | found
a rancher. Here | heard of a new
discovery about five miles away
and joined in the stampede. 1t

Trolley Men After
 Increase In Wages
Bridgeport and Waterbury Want Rank With New Haven
 and Hartford

New Haven, Dec. 22-There is a re- port in trolley circles here that the trolleymen of Bridgeportt and Water bury have instructed their newly elected delegates to the general con- ference board of the trolley union to. geek an increase in wages. The men in these cities, it isssaid, desire to be put on the wage scale in force in this city and Hartford, as they claim they work just as hard as the trolleymen
 When the Connecticut company granted all of it's trolley operatives an advance in wages under date of April g. 1910, the schedule called for the payment of the same rate to the men in Hartford, Bridgeport, Water the form of graduated scale from 21 1-2 cents an hour the first year to 26 cents an hour at the beginning of the sixth and thereafter.
 It will be remembered that this wage increase by the company was was threatened but the matter was finally left to an arbitration board consisting of Clarence Deming, select ed by the company; Attorney David E.. FitzGerald. selected by the men, and Judge William Case of the super for court. selected by the other two arbitrators.
 The arbitrators by their decision gave the New Haven and Hartford men a slight advance over what the company had granted. That is New Haven and Hartford were put in the highest paid class with a rate of from q 3-4 the first year to 27 cents the sixth and thereafter. Bridgeport and Waterbury were put in the second class with a rate for Bridgeport rum ming from 21 1-2 to 26 1-2 cents an hour and for Waterbury from 21 1-2 to 26 IA cents an hour. The percen- tage of increase for the Waterbury and Bridgeport men was not as great therefore as for New Haven and Hartford trolleymen though they ac- cepted, the increase granted by the arbitrators in good part These rates went into effect on April g, 1910. and by the terms of the arbitration agree ment were not to be disturbed by either side for two years.

Settlement Made By Brixey Heirs
Announcement Comes That Bit ter Battle Over $9OO,OOO
 Will is at an End

New Haven. Dec. 22-Richard Brixey and Austin Brixey. sons of Capt Will liam R. Brixey of Seymour, authoriz- ed the announcement that the con test over the will of their father. which has been in progress since last July, had been settled amfcably. The terms of the settlement are not an> nounced, but it is stated that the matter will now be taken out of fur ther court proeeduce, in so far as a contest is concerned.
 Capt. Brixey. who was owner of the Kerite Insulated Cable and Wire company of Seymour, died on June g last He left an estate valued at s900.009, most of which was repre- sented by the business which he con- ducted. In his will he, left 54 per pany to Richard, the eldest son, while to Austin and Reginald he left g per cent each
 The younger brothers immediately began contest of the will. alleging testamentary incapacity of their father and undue influence by Rich ard. The last named secured Attor- neys Henry Stoddard and E. A. liar riman. while the contestants were represented by Stiles Judson of Stratford and A. A. filling, the New Haven county states attorney. The
 
 court. where Judge McDonough of the Naugatuck court was called in to hear it. Later it was transferred to New Haven, in order better to serve the convenience of counsel in the case.
 The matter was bitterly fought at every stage. A little over two weeks ago, counsel for the contestants made a motion that Judge McDonough ap- point a temporary administrator who would supersede Richard Brixey in the conduct of the business. Attorney Stoddard gave notice at the time that he would fight any such proposition, when Judge McDonough assigned il for argument oh Tuesday, Dec. F. The illness of Stiles Judson made a hearing on that date impossible, and it was reassigned for last Saturday. At that time it was announced that Mir. Judson's illness was of such a nature that he would be unable to appear in the case for some months and the matter was put down for ar- gument yesterday.
 The brothers. in the meantime have been getting together and had about reached the conclusion that 1t would be better for them to reach settle ment out of court, when Judge Me- Donough opened court yesterday. All day long the principals and coun- sel and the court talked the matter over and last night came the an- nouncement that the fight had been settled.
 Formal announcement of opposition to the probate of the will will prob- ably be made within a few days.
