old Pinal. A remnant Of the old
town and machinery is still standing
as witness Of those bonanza days.
and it can be truly said that the old
mine was bonanza from the crop
ping to :he lowest level The town
of Florence was also a busy burg at
the time of operating the mine.
Our old friend and democratic war
horse the Hon. Thomas Weedin, can
relate many interesting stories in
mine and the life following in it's
busy days. Like the old Vulture we
hope the Silver King win again be
a mine.
Colonel d. c. lacking. general
manager of the Ray Consolidated,
passed through Phoenix in his spe-
cial car, after spending a few days
inspecting the company's holdings at
Ray and Hayden.
The Copper Butte property pre-
viously mentioned in these columns
and lying between Cochrane and Ray
is reported as going 70 start up
again. Bud Wilson who has been in
charge Of the property for some time
and who holds numerous claims in
the vicinity which he recently bond
ed has started force of men at
work building a road from Copper
Butte to Ray. The distance is only
from two to two and a half miles.
1t is on this property that an incline
shaft was sunk 400 feet deep about
1900 feet from the cropping. It
seems they were DESTROYS OF develop
ing the country rock for this dis
lance to undercut the ore body. The
property is owned by Minnesota
parties.
Enough supplies have been hauled
to the Kay Copper Cos property. to
last all requirements for ninety days.
Owing to the unsettled weather ii
was considered advisable to make
this provision. Such foresight was
surely warranted, considering the
unsettled conditions during the last
week. OF course all hauling of ore
has ceased until the roads are again
passable. Development work in the
mine continues increasingly. Every
days work gives added value 20 the
property and opens up new or con-
tinuous ore reserves. We are indeed
glad to chronicle such excellent re-
ports from the property for We are
one in decided belief of its future.
General Felix Diaz, the prominent
figure in the Mexican disturbance
held considerable mining interests in
Mexico. He had a large interest in
a valuable property now owned by
an English company within a hun
dred miles Of the city Of Mexico. He
is still greatly interested in mining

ties $500 dry tons Of ore were
treated.
The Ray Consolidated Company
produced 100000 pounds OF conner
during February, against $500. 600
pounds for January, and comparing
with 100000 pounds for February
asst year. This output is the largest
Tor any month since the beginning
of 1912.
Paine. Weber & Co. say: North
Butte has thirty faces Of ore between
he 220O-foot and 2S00-foot levels that
have not yet been touched, and the
mine never had larger reserves.
The aggregate output OF Phelps
Dodge & Co. properties in February
was 11.230,S97 pounds, against ~
1881 pounds in January, and com
pairing with 1O,742,950 pounds in Feb
ruary, 1912. This makes a total of
2S,46S,22S pounds for the first two
months Of 1918. against 22,166, O5G for
the same period of 1912.
The Redridge stamp mill. which
has handled the Superior rock from
the time shipments first started, will
be dismantled. Since the absorption
.of the Atlantic company by the Cop
per Range Consolidated the need If
this additional mill is beside the
question as the Copper Range has
plenty of mill capacity for all posi-
Bile contingencies. Furthermore, the
mill is rather old fashioned and out
OF date Notwithstanding the fact
that il did excellen service with the
peculiar kind of rock which the At
lantic company mined Superior has
not increased shipments since quit
ting the Redridge mill and is not
sending any more rock to the Point
Mills plant than it did to the old At
lantic MILL
North Butte Is steadily increas-
ing its ore reserves and at the same
time is shipping about $50 tons of
ere a day more than il did at any
time last year. The shaft sinking in
the Granite Mountain is making
about 100 feet a month. In the
course OF a few days a depth of g.
200 feet will be reached and after a
station is cut the sinking will be con-
tinued. Only a short time ago there
was a very careful examination
made of the Spectator shaft and it
was found to be in excellent condi-
ton and there now seems no doubt
that it will be able to do all the
work required until the Granite
Mountain is down to a depth of $500
feet, when il will be closed down for
retimbering and the Granite Noun
tain used to do an the work.
The best efforts OF the Calumet G.
Hecla management in mining and
milling cannot make the Tamarack
conglomerate rock show twenty
pounds OF copper to the ton. In fact,
the average IS now little better than
nineteen pounds, although there is a
reasonable hope that the showing
will strike the twenty-pound mark
the average for the Lake Superior
ldistrict-some time within a couple
of months as the openings in Num-

A BIGGER AND
BETTER PAPER

The problem of publishing
an up-to-da newspaper is no
small one, especially in a city
where live news are scarce.
This company now intends
to give to its readers, regard
less of difficulties and expense,
one of the best race papers in
the United States. 1t is your
paper; you paw for it. and we
believe you should have a
good one. We are communi-
eating with several eastern
writer's and news services to
furnish us weekly letters,
which will put US in touch
with happenings of the race
throughout the country. To
carry out our plan we are
forced to ask our readers as
sistance. The practice of al
lowing subscriptions to run
from one to FIVE or ten years,
we want to dispense with.
The bill becomes large and
oft times causes unnecessary
discussions, hard feelings and
loss of friendship. In order
to avoid these things and to
have our readers at peace and
harmony, we are going to es-
tablish the custom of collec-
ting fifty (5o) cents every
quarter, beginning between
June Ist and June 18th. Those
who have paid in advance will
be given credit for such, and
those who wish to do so will
save soc on the year by pay
ing SI.5o in advance. All
subscriptions are due this
company from March IS.
We hope our out-of-town SUBJ
scribers will join us in this un-
dertaking. Pay your sub
scripsions and help put Den
yer on the map.

BETTER FORGOTTEN

A painting entitled ITO the
Highest Bidder" representing
a negro slave woman with her
child standing on the auction
block, was rejected today by
the Brooklyn Institute be-
cause it might tend to keep
alive the memories that had
better be forgotten" The
picture was rainted by Harry
Roseland, a Brooklyn artist,
and offered to the institute by
Charles A. Schieren, a former
Brooklyn mayor.
Mr.. Schieren said that he
would not protest the insti
tute's decision, but the artist
declared he would ask the art
committee for a hearing. He
insists that his work should
not be barred except for a de-
feet in quality, but that no
such point has been raised
against it.

FACTS IN THE CASE

Reprinted from a Lincoln,
Neb paper, giving h e
thoughts of an unprejudiced
mind of a white writer:
We suppose the conviction
of Jack Johnson for violation
of the white slave law will
be popular. Johnson is a
dangerous man to be at large.
He has been reckless with his
automobiles. He added one
to the low saloons of Chicago.
He seemed to have an irresis-
table attraction for white
women of a certain type,
proved by the fact that he
could marry a second within
a half year of the suicide of
the first. Johnson has been a
bull in the china shop of civ
ilization. To the shambles
with him.
But while sentencing John
tson let us be slow in visiting
absolute wrath and condem :
nation upon him. The big
black prize fighter could plead
extenuating circumstances.
We all admit that environ =
ment has much to do with a
persons character. Johnson S
progress toward prison door
has been the consequence of a
peculiar environment, an en-
vironment made for him, or at
least tolerated by many who
now join in the hue and cry
against him.
White society encourages
an institution which inevitably
forces men into fame and
wealth by the force of sheer
brute strength. The man
who can lick any man on
earth gains in a two hour
tight what the average man
of equal intelligence and prob
ably higher mind cannot hope
to earn in a life time. Jack
Johnson without training in
self restraint, without practice
in the proper use of money,
came into a fortune at the
Reno ringside three years
ago. With fortune came fame
sufficient to turn the head of
a man, to say nothing of a
child mind like his. White
vultures. men and women,
gathered to divest him of his
wealth. Others, fools rather
than knaves. came to shower
him with sickly sentiment.
White men or women with
centuries of civilization be-
hind them usually make fools
of themselves when lifted
suddenly by the the rocket of
fortune. What else could be
expected of black Jack John
son, only a generation or two
out of the African wilderness,
brought thus into contact
with a highly sophisticated
class3
We created the environ
ment that made him what he
is, first having brought him

The World Problem
of the Color Line

Monday evening, May l9, DR.. w. E.B

addressed the people Of Kansas City on The
World Problem of the Color Line" DR..
Dubois was at his best and seldom has Con-

or more convincing argument than that OF the

He said in part:

past wars or preparahlns for the future wars.
This great expenditures money is necessary
to prepare and pay for war, because we have
built up civilization that despises all the dark

Idespise one another Hence the problem Of

Permit me to correct an er-

Records now compiled show that II
there had not been a single train wreck
on the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1872
nevertheless twenty-three passengers,

trains at stations, and getting on and
on moving trains, would have been
killed
The fact is that Ss7121 trains were run
for an aggregate distance of 10000 900
miles, carrying all told 100000 people
more than the population of the United
States-and two trains suffered wrecks
causing loss OF life.
Twelve passengers were killed by fall
ing from moving trains, three were killed
while attempting to board moving trains,
and eight were struck by trains while
at stations. Accidents to passengers. 80

Commerce Commission, thus include
deaths of many people who were not on
board trains.
OF the passengers injured in 1872, 2z
were hurt getting on and of trains. Two
hundred and fifty-five PASSENGERS were
hurt in falling while on railroad prom
erty other than trains. All of these
cases are officially recorded as railway

Justice and his associates will leave the
city within a few days for their summer
vacations. Although the court has ex-
tended its term two weeks beyond the
usual period for the summer adjourn
ment, 1t was unable to conclude with
all the cases under Amusement, and a
number OF important matters went over
until the fall term.
Most Of these were cases involving
construction of the interstate commerce

the Interstate Commerce Commission.
The Intermountain rate case, involving
the Tong and short haul clause" of the
last rate law, in which the United States

of the long and short haul clause" was
not decided, much to the disappointment
of the Interstate Commerce Commission.
