WEIGHING INTO A GREAT TRANscoNrINENrAL RAILWAY
From Southwestern Mining Reeoraerl
AN

From an Arizona prospect to a transcontineAtal railway would seem far cry, but that is what is even tuating at this very moment
 Not more. than a score of years ago, Dr. James Douglas, now head of the Phelps-Dodge interests. sat incoming and ruminating in a can yon at the place now known as Bis bee, Arizona
 The ore had given out in>the then prospective Copper Queen mine. The doctors eastern associates had man tested bad case of "cold feet."
 Notwithstanding these vitally dis couraging circumstances, the doc tors faith never faltered nor did his courage swerve. But the coin cidence of the ore being lost and the unwillinsness of his eastern asso- ciates to further furnish money for the development of the mine were of that seriousness that the doctor felt depressed. And that was Why he sat down. one night, lonesome dejected and absorbed in thought, in canyon which is now one cf the main thoroughfares of Bisbee.
 The formation is perfect" so- liloquized he. Tho amount of ore in the original discovery was too great to have been anything else but the detached portion of a great body"
 Faith moves mountains" flashed through the doctors mind; and right then and there did he deter mine that faith should reveal the secret of a mountain. Arising from his discouraging reflections, he was amazed at the change which had come over him, lie was really light-hearted and buoyant. and turin ing to Wend his way to his make shift office and sleeping quarters, he was impelled to give one glance backward at the mountain. and. sur yeyihg it from base 10 apex with 8 look that was almost menacing rH it's intensity, he mentally said: Thy secret thou shalt unfold unto me"
 The die was cast with the doctor. ! The very next day saw him astride his faithful horse on the long and weary jog to the nearest rails, at FairbaRk, Arizona Pitilessly did the sun beat down upon him, pain fully did his mount amble through the sands of the desert and the steep, rocky passes Of the noun tains; but the doctor was oblivioas 10 it all, for he was dreamiug dreams dreams of the kind which when realized, make for the better ment and happiness of mankind.
 So absorbeu and obsessed was Le with the idea of wrestling the 5e- cret from that mountain that the journey from Fairbank to New York seemed scarcely a day. Arriv. ing in the metropolis, he found, as had many before him, that although faith may move mountains, it has oft failed to move financiers.
 Through weeks Of varying for tunes he passed, one day hopelul the next desDairihg. until finally, through his sublime faith, courage and persistence, he secured one hun dred and fifty thousand dollars wi.h which to conquer the mountain.
 Every mining man knows that one must be especially favored cf Providence if ne develop copper mine with one hundred and fifty thousand dollars Many haze tried, but few have succeeded. But the doctor seemed to be one of the elect. for he found the main body

found at this unprecedented depth.
 At the old Irish Mag shaft they are pushing development work to as- certain what there is left of this great producer, how much longer it's Afe may be depended upon, despite the vast amount of ore already taken frCm this mine.
 At the HoatsoH there is nothing distinctly new, the work of exp or ing known ore bodies being Contin- ued, and the same is true of the June ton, with satisfactory results in both shafts.
 At the Briggs a crosscut is being run southwest from the 1900 level and here is a fine body of high grade ore.
 Manager J. C. Greenway returned from New Mexico on Friday night, where he had been on a business trip There he obtained for the com pany an option on the old Lake Valley dump near Nut. This ore is highly silicuUs, and for that reason was not heretofore treated. but is useful 70 the C. and A. company for base converter.
 It is learned that at Douglas there is a force Of siNty-nine men engaged ia preliminary work for the expendi- ture Of S2,0O0,OOO on the shelter. Ac- tual construction work has not start ed. and a representative Of The Re- view was informed that the direct ors have not definitely determined to permanently continue Douglas for the smelter site, and may possibly 1uFd at another and nearer point.

 When Marshal MacMahon was president or the French republic, an incident occurred which aptly illus. trates the French love of what is dramatic
 A French soldier sat on the summit Of hiii overlooking a garrison town: his horse was picketed close by: the man was smoking leisurely. and from time to time he glanced from the esplanade to a big official envelope he held in his hand
 A eomrade passing by asked. What are you doing here?"

PRICES REBOUNDED
 ON STOCK MARKET
Less Apprehension for Holders of Tobacco Company
 Securities

NEW YORK. Oct. 31.-Prices rose in spectacular fashion today toward the close Of what has been 2 dull session of the stock exchange. The rise was all arently based on the markets construction of the days developments in the American To- taeco company hearing.
 Attorney General WickersFam's Willingness to accept the Tobacco trusts reorganization plan. provided 1t shall be modified in accordance with his proposals, is regarded as Of large importance. The opinion is gaming ground that the scheme of reoreani- zation. as intimately accepted, will not be as onerous to the holders of securities as some interests feared.
 Standard railroad stocks led the market. Union Pacific was especially active and strong. advancing two and a half points. while most of the high priced issues, including Northwest err, Canadian Pacific, Northern Pal eltic and Lehigh Valley gained a point or more. Tobacco securities rose sharply in the afternoon. United States Steel rose nearly two points. The reports of number Of western railroads for September were re- celved today, though in almost every ease an unfayOrable showing was made. Northern Pacific reported a drop of s609,00O gross receipts A gain of s33S,Q00 in the September net income of the National railways of Mexico was followed by an advance in second preferred stock.

It is Generally Believed That The Minnesota Case Win Be Decided in Favor of

(By Victor Eniott.)

A3N siClJF FslllOil.f
 WASHINGTON. October 3l:- There is much interest in the railroad rate cases pending in the United States supreme court. ,nveisi.,r the states rights to fix rates of railroads carrying on business within their boundaries. These cases have been consolidated, and set for hearing on January s. Events forecast one of the most stubborn. as well as lm- portant. fights in the history of the highest court in the land
 There are seventy-eight such cases pending in the federal courts seat tered throughout the country. the de cision Of which may be influenced Dy the decision of the supreme court in the cases pending there. and an will probably result in denial of the rights of the states to regulate the tTafilc Of railroads within their bor- ders if the supreme court upholds the ruling of the circuit court in the Min nesota case.
 The Minnesots Case
 In this case the state railroad com mission bro isht abou. Iegisla'iCI re- ducing passenger rates 33 I-3 per cent. The United States circuit court held, the state had undertaken to substantially burden and directly regulate interstate commerce, and to create undue and unjust discrimlna- between the localities in Minnesota and those in adjacent states, in yio. lation of the commerce clause or the federal constitution" The acts were declared void for these reasons.
 The court found that the net in- come of the Northern Pacific rail. roaI had been curtailed 2.2n3 per cent. that of the Great Northern .. 359 per cent, and that of the Mime sota and St. Louis railroad 247 of respective values Of their properties in Minnesota. The court decided that this arrangement prohibited 8 fair return on the valuation of the roads. that it took property of the compan- ies without just compensation. and that it violated the Fourteenth Amendment. The court further held that the railroads are entitled to earn ' per cent on a fair valuation of their properties and that 8nv cur tailment of this would amount 10 cOnfiscatiOn. Asida from th.s it was de, Jared that che right 10 reg .. late as attempted by this railroad commission, lies exclusively iu the federal power.
