WASHINGTON, July 18.-The big
gest bargain sale of machinery in his
tory is promised upon the completion
of the Panama canal. To dispose of
machinery costing more than $15,000,-
900 is the problem confronting gov
eminent authorities when the canal is
opened.
Although understood in general
way, Colonel Goethals, superintendent
of the canal work, reports actual fig
ures of machinery bought since the
United States began digging the "big
ditch" Here are few of the prin-
cipal items:
Steam shovels, 1902; cars, 4181; loco
motives, 1889; rock drills, 725; cranes,
49, dredges, IA barges, A.
Many of the locomotives and cars
will be useful in operating the canal
and the Panama railroad, but most of
the dredges, steam shovels and noun
tains of other steel implements will
be put on the block for sale.
Secretary of the Interior Fisher has
suggested the plan of transferring
much of the discarded machinery to
Alaska for use in constructiong
government railroad to the interior
of that territory. If congress does not
authorize the federal railway in Alas
ka, most of the Panama machinery
will be sold for the best price it will
bring.
Colonel Goethals emphatically de-
clares, however, that the French plan
of leaving discarded machinery to rot
and rust will not be adopted by this
country. Uncle Sam is too thrifty. Ola
corroded, discarded machinery once
used by the French in their attempt to
dig a canal were monuments of their
failure, lining the canal route until the
Americans took charge. Some Of the

were induced to subscribe for bonds
of the Omaha Independent Telephone
company to the extent of between
100000 and 100000 or about one
fourth of the entire issue of $2,400,000.
These bonds were purchased at
mar, and in most cases block of SO
cents worth of stock on the dollar
was given to the purchaser as a
bonus. The bonds, according to to-
days sale to the Bell rival interests
will mean that the Portland creditors
will lose 75c on every dollar they put
in, aside from the deferred interests
which has not been paid for about two
years, or from the time when the ON
aha company went into the hands of
a receiver The stock bonus which
was thrown in for good measure never
was worth anything, and is valueless
today, according to John Herman, who
assisted in pooling the interests of

New Amphitheatre Planned.

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-A new
amphitheatre in the national cemetery
at Arlington will probably be christ
ened on Memorial Day of 1913. Mem
bers of the G. A. R. are responsible
largely for agitating the plan to build
the new amphitheatre, which is to re-
place a faded, dilapidated wooden stru-
cture, which has done service for 81
years.
Of white marble, the new amphithe-
atre, as planned by a special commits
SIGN, will seat 5000 persons, including
room for $50 to 300 on the stage, or
platform. Part of the amphitheatre
will be unroofed, as is the present
building.

the bond buyers and tried to save
something out of the wreck.
The wreck of the Oregon Trust &
Savings bank was due to the fact that
Louis j. Wilde, who helped float the
Omaha Telephone company unloadad
more than $1,100,000 worth of this
class of securities on the bank throl Oh
Cashier Cooper Morris who is now
serving term in the penitentiary for
his part of the transaction.
When the bank became pressed for
ready money during the summer of
1907, Cooper Morris took the Omaha
bonds back east and tried to realize
on them, but there was no market for
them and the bank went to the wall.
One of the first schemes devised
for remunerating the depositors Of
the Oregon Trust was plan where
by the creditors were to assign their
claims over to Receiver Devlin and
take in payment thereof the tele-
phone bonds. This scheme worked
fairly well and the liabilities of the
bank were worn down until the Ger
man American Bank came along and
absorbed the defunct institutions
assets and liabilities and got rid of
still more of the indigestible securi-
ties. After the German-American
and Receiver Devlin, of the old bank,
got the telephone bonds worked out
of their systems, the German-Aneri-
can also went out of business.
Since that time the bond buyers
who took Omaha securities have been
wondering what they were going to
get. The heavy expense OF the re-
ownership of the telephone company |
is supposed to be responsible for the |
of the value of the
bonds.
The number of persons in Port
land affected by the sale of the
Omaha company's plant will run into
the thousands, many of the subscrib-
ers having taken small blocks of the
bonds of few hundred dollars each.

A Highly Deserved Compliment.

A bulletin issued by the Arizona State Board of Health pays a high compliment to Doctor w. K. Cheno- weth, health officer and sanitary inspector of Santa Cruz county, for his prompt and speedy action when small pox broke out at Tubac some months ago, at which time Doctor Ghenoweth inaugurated and carried out a general vaccination of all in the county who had not been vac- clnated, and performed that slight operation upon about $40 persons, inside of week. To his prompt action, and his speedy isolation of those who had taken the disease the state board attributes the checking of and eradication of an epidemic. The Santa Cruz county health officer is the only one in the entire state mentioned in the bull letin ot the state board, which goes on to state that were all physicians as thorough in vaccination as is Doctor Chenoweth the state could adopt the North Carolina method Of refraining from quarantining small pox. There vaccination is so general that there occurs SO seldom case that it is not needed. and all are so immune that there IS felt no danger of contagion.

Upon the, Guerrero the tunnel run is in good ground, and should be continued and extended Timber for all pur- poses is available, and water is abundant. With economical work along the lines indicated there is d probability of development of good mines in both properties. And the ground adjacent to the Victor on the east, toward the north end should be denounced and work done on the silver ledge mentioned.

VICTOR AND GUERRERO mlnEs.
Two Fine Properties In the Vicinity of cananes, the Great Copper
 Mining Camp of Mexico.
MR. FRANK P. JACKSON, Secretary and General Manager, Victor Mining Company,
 Columbus, Ohio.

Victor Mining Company,
 Columbus, Ohio.
 DEAR SIR:-
 Pursuant to your request 1 have made examination of the Victor and Guerrero mining properties, in the State of Sonora, Mexico, and now present the following as the result of my investigation and as the conclusions have drawn:
 LOCATION:
 The properties are situated near the eastern line of the Magdalena District of the State of Sonora, and in direct line are about a dozen miles westward from Cananea, the famous copper mining camp, some of the mines of which are but a few miles away. By trail, across the Puertocito Pass, between the Cananea and Marroquita Noun tains the distance from Cananea is about eighteen miles. By wagon road the distance is about forty.fve miles, the route followed passing around the south end of the Cana. nea Mountains. From Martinez, a station on the Nogales. Cananea Railway, about twenty-five miles distant from Nogales, a wagon road but about fifteen miles long leads to within few hundred yards of the workings on the Guerrero mine. Another road, little longer, takes from Martinez station to the Cultaca ranche, on the east side of the Cerro Jorota, which ranche is but about eighteen miles from the railway, and within two miles of the workings on the Victor mine. With the company operat- Ing on scale of any magnitude Martinez would be the railway point for the camp. The
 PROPERTIES
 are in the Cerro Jorota, a promi- nent elevation at the north end of the Sioux Mountains, range paralleling the Cananeas on the west, and they are about a mile apart. The ledge in the Victor follows the summit of the Jorota ridge, at an altitude of between 1000 and 5000 feet, and is traced readily two miles or more, a great part of the distance being within the Victor ground, which embraces thlrty-two pertenencias of good mining ground. The Guerrero lies in the foothills of the Cerro Jorota to the eastward from the Victor about mile, and ill that claim there are fifteen pe1tenencias. CA pertenencia, the unit in Mexico for measurement of mining ground, is hectare, including an area of about two and one-fifth acres. So roughly these holdings of the Victor Mining Company, approxi- mately embrace $50 acres of ground.)
 FORMATION,
 The country rock in the region is generally andesite, one of the DOT phyries, with an intrusion of granite lying between the two properties. Through each prop eeEty there runs broad, we'll de- med ledge, twenty to twenty five Feet in length, highly mineralized,

SS NtoPPAhSo OA tuC lCuRO mentioned hereinbefore, but the working is about 1000 feet to the eastward, and it is very evidently upon a slide that has come down from the ledge up in the hill The tunnel described enters the hill at very slight angle from the east line of the property, at distance of ll2 feet 1t has turn to the west ward, and follows about sixty.four feet farther. From the part of the tunnel beyond the turn there have been run a number of crosscuts or drifts, three to the right and one to the left. The longest is about 40 feet in length, with a winze at the end that is about twenty feet deep. Inthat same working there Is an upraise that penetrates bout 4O feet above the tunnel level. Another of the drifts mentioned is about 30 feet in length. Another about b feet. All these are run to the left, opposite the 30-foot drift, is the fourth, drift about 10 feet long. From all these various places where the tunnel and its ramifications have extend ed there has been taken some ore. and there are punches of ore visible In the ground remaining, as is also the case in another working about 100 feet vertically above, but, of course, little farther back, on &C., count of the slope of the hill. That Is great open cut about 20 feet wide and 25 feet deep. At the end of this open cut an incline goes down about 20 feet, at the bottom a vertical winze about six feet deep. To the right of the entrance to the incline is chamber about IS feet long, 12 feet high and 10 feet wide. connected with the incline by an opening. In all that working the characteristics shown are the same as In the workings below: a soft porphyritic rock, with punches of green carbonate of copper. Upon the lower dump is small pile of ore of that description, not exceed ing a ton in quantity. As asserted before this deposit on which is the
 VICTOR WORKING
 is not in place, but is slide from the main ledge above, several hun. dred feet, and 1000 feet westward. In coming down the ledge matter was ground up among the porphyry of the country rock, making the soft, easily worked ground which has been followed, with a waste of time and money. The ledge is where the work should have been done, and the same amount of money that has been expended on the slide put into shaft on the ledge, on the apex of the ridge, would have given results, is the belief of both Mir. Sanders and my self. That ledge is strong, we'll defined, and follows the course of the backbone of the ridge, which is quite straight. From the point in the lowest portion of the ridge, where the shaft should be sunk to a depth of 500 feet, with a gallery run to the north, would give workings of considerable depth. with good chance for valuable ore body.
 ADMINISTRATIONS:
 From the foregoing it is discern ible easily that the belief of both MT. Sanders and myself is that

 economical, systematic develop ment there would be uncovered valuable ore bodies. The entire region surrounding is highly min- eralized, the great copper camp lying to the eastward, the Santa Cruz mountains to the westward be. ing the seat of great development, and the Patagonia mountains, just across the international boundary in Arizona, on the northwest pre- sentlng now phenomenal develop ments in several properties, not ably the Worlds Fair and R. R. R. properties. In none of them is there presented a better surface showing than in the Victor and the Guerrero.
 In the ground lying on the east side of the Guerrero my associate in my work, Mir. George W. Sand. CTS, and myself, found fine ledge about twenty feet in width that bears every evidence of being valu- able in silver, samples from the croppings we broke off having been sent you. We believe that the company should take up that area and include the ground in it's scheme of development. The
 WORKINGS
 upon the two properties are not very extensive, jointly the two presenting not one thousand feet. Upon the Guerrero there is a tun- nel with a winze about twenty feet in depth some 130 feet from the entrance. At this winze the ground had caved from above in such way that the opening could not be passed on either side, nor crossed. and consequently we were unable to follow the tunnel any farther, At that point the ledge cuts across deep cafion, and the working follows 1t into the hill to the south. ward, the entrance being above the bottom of the cafion sufficiently to make good dumping ground. The vein IS about twenty feet in width, well defined and highly mineral ized, carrying iron at the surface and in the tunnel, with good. strong copper indications. It is a Assure vein, the walls being we'll defined. The hill or mountain through which it runs rises abruptly to the south, and running the tunnel into the hill would give a depth of several hundred feet within short distance. With the present indications it is probability that prosecution of work at that point would develop valuable ore body. Across the cafion, about fifty wards away from the tunnel described the ledge is exposed a little distance before cutting into the hill on the north. A short tunnel has been cut across the ledge at that place, showing the character of the vein formation, with indications of cop per. The main tunnel described is the right place for working in the Guerrero ground, and money ex- pended there would be probably to good advantage. Upon the
 VICTOR GROUND
 There are workings upon the ex. treme eastern line, about one- third of the way north from the southeast corner of the properly At that point there has been run a tunnel about 176 feet in length. It is near the head of a cafion rising into fho Earr0 Tonot. rs Al
