COPPER BULLION FLOW
ING AT HUMBOLDT
(From SATURDAYS DailY.)

After a suspension of over four
months the smelters OF the Con-
solidated at Humboldt are again III
full blast, and the first car Of thir-
ty tons of copper bullion leaves
the works Monday, it was learned
from arrivals from that point yes
terday.
The plant has been Rebuilt
throughout, and for the present is
treating 40 tons of ore per day.
The capacity is to be enlarged
however. the aim of the manage
ment being centered toward oper-
ating carefully and to give the ma
chinery a thorough testing before
the limit will be reached. The bulk
OF the ore supply comes from the
Blue Bell mine, and the daily out
put of bullion will be maintained
for the present from this source
at about six tons per day.
Some custom ore is also arriving
but the management is reported
to have stated the market to the
miner would not be formally op-
ened until later. and it was the in
tention to handle nothing less than
carload shipment at time. The
plant has been completely rebuilt
and it is said to be the most COM
plete of any in the State, consider
ing the tonnage capacity.

wild elation vanished as the rich
pay streak pinched out.
Memo, however. took out ten
pounds Of the richest quartz ever
seen in this field, and those who
viewed the output stated it was
more thar half pure gold. This
pocket was cut into at depth OF
less than FIVE feet, the owner select
ing a parallel claim from the origi-
nal location to do some prospect
ing. Those at McCabe who inspect
ed the ore stated it represented a
valuation of at least 100000 to the
ton, and many Of the specimens
were unusually attractive and valu-
able as curiosities
This strike occurred on the old
A. X. Lee mine, situated between
Chaparral and Big Bug creek, on
the slope of the range leading into
the latter point. That zone is some
what famous for its placer yield OF
early days, as well have rich free

RIVER DISASTER RIVALS
TITANIC OCEAN TRAGEDY

RIMOUSKI, May 2o-Sinking in
ninety feet of water within Fifteen
minutes after being rammed amid
ships in the upper reaches of the
St. Lawrence river, the Canadian
Pacific liner, Empress of Ireland,
carried down with her more than
nine hundred of her passengers and
crew. Of the 1867 persons aboard
only 433 are known to have been
saved, making the probable death
list 1884,
Looming up through the river
mists as the Empress was lying to,
waiting for the fog to lift or day
break. the Danish collier Storstad
crashed bow on into the side of
the big Canadian liner, striking her
about midway of her length and
ripping her side open clear to the
stern. The crash occurred not far
from shore off Father Point, hun
bred and fifty miles from Quebec,
which place the Empress left yes
terday afternoon for Liverpool and
ten miles from this point on the
St. Lawrence.
In reality therefore, although the
liner was heading for the sea, and
the collier coming in. the disaster
was not one of the ocean. but the
river. Unlike the Titanic's victims,
the Empress Of Ireland's lives were
lost within sight OF shore in land
locked waters. Immediately after
the ships crew had recovered from
the shock OF the collision it was
seen that the liner had received a
vital blow and the wireless rs. o.
s." call was sounded. The hurried
prayer of the sea was picked up by
the government mail tender, Lady
Evelyn. and government pilot boat
Eureka at Father Point. Both sped
to the rescue.
So deep was the wound of the
Empress, however. and so fast the
thrush of the waters, that long be-
fore either of the rescue boats
could reach the scene. the liner
had gone down. Only floating
wreckage and a few lifebOats and
RATS from the steamer buoying
up less than a third of those who
set sail on her, were found. The
rest had sunk with the liner or
had been crushed to death in the
Storstad's impact, or had been

Licy water scentily clad were ferrly

minutes, between the shock of the

There is little chance for a sys-

probably never reached the deck.

saved. not more than a dozen, the

NEW WRINKLES IN

PHOENIX. May 30.-"No taxa

suggested as the slogan of the cam
paign to repeal, by a referendum
vote of the people, the absurd new
license ordinance adopted by the
city commission.
If the ordinance goes into effect
it will cost money to breathe in
Phoenix. 1t imposes a vocational
tax on practically every kind of
human endeavor. Washwomen,
dressmakers, boilermakers, BARRIERS,
blacksmiths and bootblacks are not
overlooked.
That the ordinance is to be refer
red to the voters is now a certain
ty. 1t appears to be almost a GER
tainty that it will be repealed.
The people did not understand its
full purport till it was first publish
ed in the city official paper. When
they did understand it there was
talk OF recalling the entire COM
mission. 1t is not believed, however
that any recall movement will be
started.
The members OF the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association PLAN
ned to discuss the proposed refer
endum next Wednesday evening bur
the indignation now runs so high
that a special meeting probably
will be called sooner.
Merchants in ali lines of business
are required by the new ordinance
to pay licenses at least twice as
high as they have been paying.
Moreover, they must allow the city
auditor to examine their books at
any time. Their business secrets
are city property.
Any manufacturer of aeroplanes
is required to pay license of $40
quarter, dressmakers and boiler
makers must pay $40; washwomen.
BARRIERS. bootblacks and blacksmiths.

Each insurance agent must pay
SO a quarter for each company he

At the weekly meeting OF the
rotary club, Walter S. Burch, an
attorney who assisted materially in
the management of Mayor George
L. Young's campaign. denounced
the entire city administration. With
biting sarcasm he pointed out the
utter absurdities Of the new ordi-
nance. If a man has no visible
means of support. Burch stated. he
is Jagged and fined. But ii he
wants to work he must first pay the
equivalent of a fine.
The commissioners, Burch declar
ed. are DESTROYS OF raising an enor-
nous fund to put through certain
improvements which they will look
upon as monuments to themselves.
But in so doing they will drive
people away, will discourage immi-
grafton and certainly will keep out
