The explanation Of tho failure Of Dr

Now York for Scotland at the time he
was TO have come west. His forelgn
mission is thought TO be In behalf OF
new reduction plants which have been
under contemplation for some time.
Regarding this matter, Thompson.

statement:

Considerable difference OF opinion has
existed regarding the proposed site for
the new smclter There seems now to be
little doubt, however, but that IL VIII be
built below Clifton, near the shannon
smelter, which Is apparently much bet
ter location than on the table land near
Clifton. which was advocated by some IN
terested parties.
The new smelter. as planned, will be
composed of both bias, and oil fired re-
vcrberatory furnaces with converter plant
and will embody the latest metallurglcal
devices ana improvements. Nc Iid''
will have n greater capacity than the
present smelter. and II Is the intention
to maintain production around 10000, oOU
pounds Of copper per annum. which com :
pares With present production at the rate
OF approxima teiy 80 600, 600 pounds.
II is estimated that the improroments
contemplated will call for an expendi
ture of approximately sI,I50,0o0, and, &C
cording to reports from abroad, thls
money will be very easily raised. In al!
probability this financing will be done
by means OF terminal bonds.
The company owns a very large area
in the Clifton -Morenci district and pro
duction Is derived from eleven mines. The
ores are low-Grade copper, some OF the
properties being of the disseminated por-
phyry type, 4 large proportion Of the
ores are concentrated, though some arc
smelted direct. IL Is claimed that large
quantities Of ore arc in reserve, semi

The Arizona Copper company whicl
is controlled by Scotch capital, has beer
an important producer OF copper for manN
years. The present company was or
ganzed in 1854, but production was car

OFFICIALS GOING OVER
CON. MERCUR AFFAIRS

Arthur w. Chesterton OF Boston, dt-
rector of the Consolidated Mercur Gold
Mining company. and Director and Gen
eral Manager George H. Dcrn left We'd
nesday morning for the property at Mer-
cur TO make an exhaustive examination
of the premises. This visit may result
in important innovations at the mine and
reduction works OF the company, but just
what these will be must necessarily be
determined by the directors before being
made public.
II is not thought that the directors
will consider the proposition OF closing
down operations as long as the manage
ment is making the profits now being
earned, The September profits were in
the neighborhood Of $4,000, on a total
production OF about sfS,Q00 worth Of bull
lion, and October doubtless will show
equally as we'll. November is too young
yet to tell what II will result in.
1t possibly may be that important
changes can be made, production costs
reduced here and there in such a man
ner that earnings may he increased,
II, by the installation OF new equipment
or new department, a greater saving
can be made the directors doubtless Will
proceed along these lines should the
unde rground conditions Justify the ex-
pendIture. It is to be hoped that some
thing can be done TO restore this old
gold producer and dividend payer TO
Something like its former usefulness.

Washington, July 12.-(Special.)--
Senator Dixon has had conferences
with both Commissioner Valentine o.

garding the suspended filings of set

He presented petition signed by 200
settlers on the reservation, asking for
equitable adjustment of difficulties.
The trouble seems to have arisen over
the fact that the Indian office, at tile
time of the opening of the reservation,
issued an order reserying the right to
re-allot any Indian on the unapprais-
ed lands where "A mistake had been

where the Indian allottee had been
