ADVANCE IN WHEAT
RATE is SUSPENDED
is Second Tir1e Rate to Arizona Points
Has Been Suspended and Indicates
Victory for Commission

Phoenix. ARK, Sept 24.-Notifica-
ton has been received by the state
corporation commission from the in
terstate commerce commission that the
proposed advance in rates on wheat
from middle western to Arizona points
has been suspended once more, this
time till March 19. The first suspen-
sion was al September 1s and was
granted after the corporation COM
mission filed q complaint regarding
flour rates. The railroads asserted
that the present rates on wheat were
published by mistake and wanted to
raise them to the level OF the flour
rates. On the other hand the corpo-
ration commission is trying to force
the flour rates down to some point
near the wheat tariff. A hearing was
held in Phoenix last spring before
an / c. c. examiner and the second
suspension is regarded as an indica-
ton that the Arizona commission will
win its fight.
The rate on whole wheat to Phoenix
is go cents and the proposed new rate
is S1.09. The rate on flour is $112
and the corporation on commission is
trying to force it down to about IS
cents.

LARSEN HAS ORE

Field Is Rich One.


Aguila, Ariz-, Set. 24.-Samples TAX
en- from ledge recently discovered
by L W Larsen 20 miles south of
Aguila, assay $4,000 a ton in gold
The find is the most sensational ever
made in this district.
All over the section where Larsen
made his discovery the mineral condi-
tions are peculiar. There are thou
sands of little veins that carry gold
values, and they parallel the main vein
for many miles. 1t is believed that
al a depth these stringers must come
together and make a big vein rich in
gold.
Water is scarce through that region
and little development work has been
done. Larsen and his partner, ]. w.
Martin, have a group of claims in the
same locality, from which they shipped
four tons of ore that netted s94-60 a
ton.
Twelve miles south of Aguila is the
Pump mine, which has been worked
for so years. Several hundred thou
sand dollars have been extracted by
working the ore in an arastra and the
Golden mill, 20 miles away. The shaft
is down 500 feet and the values are
still there.
The Sunset property, II miles south
west, has been taken over by a syndi-
cate and arrangements are now being
made to develop it. It is owned by

ment OF Peter Ruppe, G. & A. director,
when he said that the properties meas

tions, and would certainly be taken
over. Mr.. Ruppe believes that in the

closed with Ell Paso Smelter for the

In the mining division, the latest the
Shattuck has had to give out has been
in association with the 500 level, where
their efforts have met with more sue
cess than had been anticipated. The
ground is looking exceedingly good in
all respects. Crosscut II went into
the high grade copper ore two weeks
ago and is still there. The ore is a
cuprite carbonate in an iron gangue
Cuprite is considered a good sign of
the permanency of the ore This strike
on the 500 level will also be developed
from the 900 level in due time.

AN EIGHT TO TWO
VICTORY FOR BOB
BROWNIES PLAYERS

The sizzling wires from Van
CONVEX, B. c., bring down the
sizzling news of another sizzling
defeat of the - Tigers at
the hands of the sizzling Beavers
in sizzling game.
We sizzle.
In fact We siZZle every time the
Tigers lose a game. which means
that we have our foot in the fire
almost constantly, and we
would like to pull 1t out OCCASION
ally. We can't, however, unless
Redpath's hired help put some
thing over once in a while.
The Redpathians failed to con-
meet in yesterdays game. This
was told already in the first three
paragraphs of this wonderful
story but we repeat to give the
printer less time to loaf on the
job, which he does about al often
as the Tigers lose games.
Nevertheless in spite of this
funeral habit of losing games we
ask the indulgence of the sporting
world of Tacoma in now, the hour
of our grief. The Beavers were a
little too strong as the eight to
two score indicates. The Tacoma
boys started nicely with one run
tucked away in their bat bags at
the end of the first inning. But
then the other side works too.
1t put over three in the second
and kept putting one over each
inning until the fifth when the
Beavers layed off for a spell and
Just to cinch the game they scor-
ed two more in the eighth.
In the fourth inning the Tigers
made ONE.
In the fourth and fifth Konnick
and Schultz went around the bags
without stopping.
Kid Kurfess tried to help out
toward the last of the game but
there was nothing doing.
