 DECLARE DIVIDEND

TUCSON-Local stockholders of the Cananea Consolidated Copper com pany, of whom there are quite num- Der in Tucson have received an an- nouncement from the management stating that a 25 per cent dividend will be distributed in March.
 This is the first dividend declared by the company for several years, it is stated, and is believed to be a re- suit of the rising copper market as we'll as the solution of the difficulties in which the company was for some time involved. The stockholders were surprised, as well as greatly pleased to see so substantial a dividend de clared

PRES. SMITHS PLANS

BOSTON, Jan. 3O.-President Smith Of the Arizona Commercial Copper Co.,. who has just returned from d. visit to the property, speaks quite hopefully of future prospects. He be- lieves that there is a very fair chance that a mine may be made in the Cop per Hill end of the property, where the endeavors of the new manage ment, will be concentrated, at first at least His opinion is based on the old maps and assay records of the Amster management to which, MT. Smith had access on his visit, in addition to the very good showing of ore which has been found in two drifts from the Uni ted Globe mine of the Old Dominion which have been run up as far as the Arizona Commercial boundary line in the Copper Hill end. On present pric- es of copper, at least, MT. Smith feels that some profit could be made in working the Copper Hill property.
 It is not intended, however to start upon any aggressive work until after the present mortgage has. been fore closed and the property turned over to the new company.

COPPER AND AMALeAMATED
Efforts of Leading Producers Directed Towards Keeping Down
 Metal Price.

The president of a large producing copper property, which sells it's pro- ducts through the United Metals Sell ing Company, tells us:
 q know for a positive fact that the leading copper producing interests are using their best endeavorS at the pre- sent time to hold copper prices down, notwithstanding the reports that IA 1a cent copper is the result of Specula- tion and manipulation. Fourteeen- and-a-half-cent copper is the result of the fact that both in this country and abroad consumption of the metal has been increasing faster than produc- tion, and when the European interests bought heavily it forced the American consuming interests into the market with the result that not only is the surplus of copper fast disappearing, but production is practically sold two months ahead. This is not a theory, but a conditions.
 T have theory that, were it not for the effect on the metal market, Amalgamated would today be selling at 75 instead of 65, for if Amalgamat- ed was worth 70 on 12 1-2 cent copper 66 on IA 1-2 cent copper, and had the market end of Amalgamated had the proper amount of nourishment, it would today be selling above 75 but a big speculation in Amalgamated shares would carry all the other "cop- pers" with it, and the result might be disastrous in bringing about runa- way market for copper for, say what you will, there is very close bond be- tween the commodities and the stock market"

CALUMET AND ARIZONA BEGINS
 WORK ON NEW SHELTER
One Hundred and Seventy. Five Adj ditional Men Have Been Put to |.
 Work at Douglas

DOUGLAS-The preliminary work on the new Calumet and Arizona smell ter in this city is now well under way with a force of about one hundred and seventy-five men employed on con struction This added to the regular operating force brings the total mum Der of men at the c. and A. at this time to six hundred and seventy-fve. At the Copper Queen is another large force, on construction, mostly steel construction men and bricklayerS. There has recently been a slight de- crease in the railroad force here and with the completion of the Tucson extension of the Southwestern and the coming of the Rock Island over this road the number of men employed here will be largely increased.
 The increase in the price of copper has caused many of the small mines in this section to be started up again with a view of shipping ore to this city and should copper remain at the present price permanently there would be a vast amount of custom ore arriving. constantly here. The com | ing of ore to Douglas for custom smelt l ing adds most desirable trade tc Douglas. In Sonora there is much re newed activity reported in the mines and the country is being visited by many prospectors and engineers.
 Sacks of ore may be seen piled III at various points along the Nacozar
 railroad between Nacozari and Agus
 Prieta, and there are more burrt
 trains in operation from the hills tt the railroad than have been seen fo
 a long, long time. The hills are full of prospectors, and in Nacozari ant at the outlying properties, many o which have now long been idle, strane CTS are seen, people who have come t. investigate conditions and to examine properties which have been brough to their attention, prospective inves J tors and developers of the rich cour
 try that can be found in Sonora. Thi is the statement of J. B. ('Tangle"
 Johnson, who has just returned iron
 some claims which he has about six
 ty miles east of Nacozari.

SOME MORE ABOUT THE TABLED LOST GOLD DIGGINGS NEAR
 SILVER CITY
Lone Mt, Jan. 17

Silver City Enterprise: Seeing in your last two issues well written account of the long lost Adams dig gings, it puts an old proSpector to thinking of the several traditions of a long lost gold mine somewhere north west of Silver City. About 32 years ago I heard prospectors tell of these dig gings, not only A. V. Adams after whom the diggings are named, but there were some ten or fifteen other companies of prospectors who have come to this section looking for lost eme to this section looking for lost gold diggings. All point to the same locality somewhere northwest Of S1l- yer City. There was party of eight men away back in the early fifties who left Fort Franklin, (now Fl Paso Texas) and went somewhere north west of here and found rich gold plac- CT ground This party I will speak of later Then in '67 the Bullard boys and MT Campbell now of PinoS Altos, came down from Colorado to look for lost mines on the headwaters of the Frisco river About "A John Cole man, Nelson Warrington and some twenty others came from Kansas, To- peka, I believe, looking for a fabulous rich gold diggings. This party was headed by one MT Cole, who had been 1 dispatch carrier for the government i in the early days. This party was bound for the head waters of the F'ris- co river or vicinity. Then, old-time Mexicans say the original Pinos Altos was away north of the present camp, and now comes the Adams tale of these same "diggings" for believe all of these early prospectors were look ing for the identical lost diggings Then, too, the squaw that was spoken of last week wanted to show Mrs Kelly, now of Hillsboro, where there was plenty of gold, and pointed to the same locality. I believe the Apaches have covered all traces of these dig gings and many a prospector has pass ed over the Great Range having beer caught on the coveted grounds.

sale or to make any concessions in price.
 It developed today that some of the large producing interests have opened their books for April copper. While some of the metal sold during the re- cent buying movement was for April delivery, principally to Europe, the tonnage booked was comparatively small.
 The willingness of the large inter- ests to take orders for April delivery may result in a resumption of buying but this may be delayed, should the liquidation in the London market con- tinue. However, it is claimed by some of the large interests that intrinsical1 ly the market is firm and no impor- tant reaction in prices is looked for.
 It is yet too early to obtain any predictions as to the showing to be made by the January statement of the Copper Producers Association, but the belief seems to prevail that a further shrinkage in stocks will be re- corded.

WILL LIVE OAK GO
 INTO BIG MERGER

GLOBE-J. A. Wilson states that an unconfirmed report has been received to the effect that the same interests that recently obtained control of Live Oak, have made an offer for the con- trolling interest in Ray Consolidated and Chino.
 If this proves to be true it means that the initial steps in a gigantic merger of the copper mines of the United States have undoubtedly been taken.

FIFTEEN CENTS TO BE MINIMUM

DOUGLAS, Jan 15.-Dr. James Douglas of New York, head of the Phelps-Dodge corporation, which owns the E. P. & s. W. railroad and Copper Queen mines, was in the city yester- day and said the rising price of cop per would not cause the company to increase it's production. The enlarge ment of the shelter in Douglas means, he said, that the company will accept custom ore from other mines, than it's own. Dr. Douglas says that within a year fifteen cents will be minimum for copper.

DERAILED CAR


A number of brawny subjects of
the Emperor of Japan, all of whom
We're skilled in alternating the suffer.
ings of freight cars, proceeded TO the
scene, headed by a practical physi,
clan who spoke Nipponese with a
broad rich brogue. With a few min
utes' work the car was placed in a
| comfortable sitting position, and then
the work of restoring it to its proper
status began. 1t was gently hoisted
by means of jackscrews and the
strong spicily favored advice of the
aforesaid physician to a position
parallel with the rails. From this
point it was gently impelled toward
the metals by a squad of eight jiu-
jitsu wrestlers armed with monkey
wrenches.
A train bound for Honolulu arrived
during the ceremony, and it had on
board several highly salaried engin-
GERS engaged in operations at Pearl
Harbor. These specialists held con.
ference with the regular physician in
charge and as a result in something
like an hour and half, the wheels of
the box car kissed the rails again with
sundry clicks of relief.
Through this delicate operation, the
box car resumed its proper place in
the afrairs Of the Oahu Railway again,
or will, as soon as it secures u new
roof, and the trains began to shuttle
merrily back and forth carrying be-
lated passengers homeward,
The spectacle of yesterday made it
plain to all spectators that no bit OF
rolling stock, however lowly, will be
permitted to suffer for the want OF
immediate attention on the part OF
the management and that train sched'
ules are as nothing when box car
rolls over in the ditch and calls for
help.

(COntlnued from rage One)
Of the most experienced and forcefuI
newspaper writer's in Canada His
connection with the profei sion was OF
considerable length Wherever he
went he was always regarded as e
valuable acquisition to any editorial
staff.
Among his confreres and associates
he was universally beloved. His opin-
ions upon every kind Of subject was
continually solicited and valued, for
his experience YVES Of most varied
character and his culture and general
knowledge beyond dispute,
He was born at Rochester, Kent,
England, forty-three years ago, the
eldest son of Mr.. William Burns, now
well known in Vancouver as the prin-
cipal of the Normal School.
At the age of thirteen he removed
to Canada with the rest of his fam
lily, living at various times at Toron-
TO, Montreal, Port Hope, Brampton,
st. Catharines, and ottawa, coming
west to Victoria in 1896.
His newspaper career started upon
the Toronto News about 1886. A few
years later he became sporting editor
of the Montreal Herald. From there
he removed to Ottawa, where he was
night editor of the Citizen. About this
time he worked as a gallery reporter
in both the Ontario and Dominion
Houses of Parliament. In 1894 he was
president of the press gallery in both
Houses.
While in Toronto he was drill in
structor of the Queens own Rifles,
and in Montreal held a lieutenant's
commission in the Fifth Royal Scots.
After coming west he left the news
paper field for a time to assume the
position of secretary-treasurer of the
| Marble Bay mines. Following this he
became, in 1899, city editor and edi-
toriaI writer on the Vancouver Prov
ince.
Again severing his connection with
the press to accept the position of
private secretary to Sir Donald Mann,
he spent some time in China with the
railway magnate, later going to Wran.
gel during the Klondike strike, to
look after the Mann interests in the
north
Called once more by the lure OF
| journalism he went to San Francisco
to join the staff of the Chronicle. He
was later sent to Honolulu by the Sar
Francisco Tribune as its special cor
respondent just before the Chino-Jap
anese war. He was the first to secure
news of the outbreak of hostilitie'
and beat all other correspondent
and agencies in sending the news Il
the American continent.

PAVING BIDS
THROWN OUT

Through q slip i'm not saying how
many days they required for the per
forming of the work of paving Queen
street wharf, Lord q Young who put
in the lowest tender will have to bid
again on the proposition. When the
bids were opened at the meeting of
the harbor commissioners yesterday
afternoon the omission of Lord &
Young was discovered The opinion
of the attorney generals department
was asked on the subject, and it was
decided that fresh bids will have to
be called for.
The Lord & Young bid amounted to
$3O,201, which is. S762O less than that
of the next bidder--the Pacific En-
cheering Company.
There was an objection against bid
ding for the work registered by
Joseph Gilman, representing the btu
lithic company, who said that his firm
could not get the same figures on
ohia blocks as other concerns that
were rendering for the job. This
statement was questioned by Commits
sioner McStocker, who asked for the
/ names of those who told Gilman. The
latter said that J. B. Castle and Sam
Johnson had informed him that such
was the case.

conditions in North Korea are salts

was shown to be II per cent. Four
tons of beets to the quarter acre were
