United Verde

The new smelter at Cla-ksdale is
1000 feet lower than the United
Verde mine at Jerome. The town
already has 1875 houses, with spacious
dooryards for the children to play in
and a $4,000 school house. The
houses are all so feet apart. A brick
kiln is turning out 10000 brick a day
for the houses.
The houses are modern in every
way. with water, light and sewerage.
Only a few liquor concessions will
be granted The town is to be
policed by the company's own men,
so there will be no politics in this
department. Everything in town be-
longs to the company and they own
thousands of acres surrounding the
town.
The new smelter is expected to be
IN commission by September next 1t
will treat custom ores in addition to
the general mine output of the
United Verde mine. The plant will
have a capacity of 100000 pounds
of copper a month. The smelter
plant and all in connection with it
is the very latest and most perfect
in smelte.' practice.

Borax Discovery

A discovery of borax is reported
to have been made in the Arizona
strip and in southeastern Utah,
which is said to be similar to the
Death Valley deposits. 1t is also
stated that California borax inter :
ests have acquired the property in
Arizona, and the tests that have been
made are very favorable Similar
deposits on which no tests have been
made have been reported from the
Utah side of the line. The Arizona
strip referred to is north of the
Grand Canyon and very difficult of
access from the south side and really
few Arizonians know anything re-
garding it. The most accessible
point of entry into the region is by
Lees Ferry, or by other circuitous
routes, these having to be made en-
I tirely on horseback.
| The borax deposits lie nearly due
south of the Salt Lake meridian and
! on what is known as the Baria pla-
| teau. The deposits are a long way
from transportation but probably
not any farther than the California
| deposits used to be. This little
known portion of Arizona will NJ
| doubt receive greater attention il
the next few years, as there are
other minerals in the region besides
broax.

Copper Creek

1t is reported that parties from
Montana are negotiating for a group
of claims on this creek in PinaI
county. The Calumet & Arizona did
considerable work on this creek and
still retains it's holdings there, al
though they are not actually oper1t-
irg
An English company also did some
extensive development and ceased
operations. They, too, stifl retain
their holdings.
Colonel Sibley did great deal of
exploration work, put in a railroad
and concentrating plant and spent a
large amount of money. This prop
erty also very recently closed down.

being developed by Young Bros, af-
ter lying idle for a number of years.
The Youngs have made an additional
equipment of new machinery, reno
waited the Old mill, and they are now
diamond drilling from the 600-foot
level. The tailings at the old mill
have been treated three times for
their gold and vanadium contents.
Another well known property ad-
joining the Mammoth is the Mohawk
which is on the same vein as the
Mammoth. A railroad would greatly
facilitate the making of this prop
erty a success.
A further extension of this vein is
owned by Pascual Figueroa, where
it is lately reported that some rich
gold ore has been struck in the
workings on the 2OO-foot level.

New Smelling Works Of Arizona
Copepr COMPANY

The new plant, which cost about
s2.100,000, was designed by DR.. L.
D. Ricketts,, and was started and
operated under his direction until
March l, 1914. 1t was turned over
to the company management after
two months operation at figures be-
low the estimated operating cost
While construction cost of the new
works was over 100000, the cost
of the smelling plant proper was
only s1,700.000, about 100000 having
been spent on the power house
About 100000 additional money was
spent for transmission lines, trans
former houses, etc. Most Of the
electric power generation is con-
veyed to the company's mines and

The Camp Cook

However, Lord Lytton was more
kindly towards what the cook pre-

with reprint that much repeated
quotation, as follows:
I'VE may live without poetry, music

We may live without conscience and
live without heart;
We may live without friends, we

But civilized men cannot live with

He may live without books-what is

He may live without hope-what is
hope but deceiving?
He may live without love-what is
passion but pining,
But where is the man that car

Miami
This company is producing at the
rate of 3S,760,00O pounds of copper
per annum. The cost of this produc-
ton is a shade under 8 cents The
present earnings are estimated at
s1,SOO,OOO per annum, or $40 per

The output of the Miami Copper
company for June was 3,124,75O
pounds of copper, compared with
$4,000 pounds in May and 2,612.65O
pounds in June, 1913.
In the matter of costs, Miami has
been obtaining some satisfactory re-
suits and the figures for the various
months thus far this year have been
decidedly better than the average
for last year, but it will be remem-
bered however, that 1913 costs OF
1851 cents were abnormal and due
to the severe cave in which was eX-
perienced during the year. At pres

of the months this year have been

ANTITRUST BILLS

TRIO OF IMPORTANT MEASURES

OPPOSITION MELTED AWAY
Railroad capitalization, Clayton Omnl'

Are Easily Passed.

washington.-All three bills OF the
administration trust program passed

action. Opposition melted away when
the final test came and the voting
went through quickly and without
incident. The Covington interstate
trade commission bill was passed
without a record vote; the Clayton
omnibus antitrust measure RECESSED
275 votes to "a against it, and the vote
on the Rayburn railroad capitalization
bill was 325 to II.
Action on the trust bills came
rather Unexpectedly. The three meas

as amended by the committee, be-
ing completed. j
When the trade commission bill
came before the house for a final vote
Progressive Leader Murdoch moved
that it be sent back to the interstate
commerce committee with instruc-
tons to report the Murdoch bill as a
substitute. This was rejected Isl to
10 and the pending bill was passed
without a roll call. Then the votes
on the other two measures were taken
in rapid succession. Representative
White, Of Ohio, was the only Demo
crat to vote against the Clayton bill

Neutrality-suspicious. S. Elton OF
Waterbury, Conn, and William Skin
ner of Holyoke, Mass, directors Of the
New York, New Haven G Hartford
Railroad ,testifying before the Inter
state Commerce Commission at its in
vestigation into the affairs Of the
road, said the acquisition of various
New England trolleys, steamship lines
and other properties at a cost Of
many millions of dollars, constituted
a part of the New Ravens compre-
hensive plan to increase Its facilities.
Many properties thus acquired, it
was stated, only had a prospective
value, the natural growth of New
England being taken into c%onsidera-
tion by the directors.
Mr.. Elton, questioned On this point
by William Nelson Cromwell, who ap-
peared as counsel for several direc-
tors, declared the purchase for SILL
0 $1,000 Of the New York, West Ches-
ter and Boston Railroad, the stock OF
which former President Mellen of the
New Haven testified was worth only
40 cents a yard" was for the pur-
pose of. obtaining a foothold in the
Metropolitan district and obtaining
greater. terminal facilities in New
York.
Mr.. Elton testified that the New
Haven directors had changed their
methods and now were not influenced
so much by one or two men-like j.
P. Morgan and former President Mel
len-as they formerly were. He said
the directors now direct" and had
learned "a great many things" He
added that President Elliott was
more deliberate than MI. Mellen and
did not rush them off their feet"
Mr.. Skinner said he believed eff
things had been allowed to 60 on
and the New Haven and its officials
had not been subjected to inimical
inquiries and legislation "the property
would have pulled out all right, per.
haps in five years." He asserted that
Mr.. Mellen could have retained the
presidency of the road, had he so de-
sired, as he had a majority of the
directors with him.
William Skinner, a New Haven
director since 1902, said he did not
recall J. P. Morgan making a state.
ment regarding the West Chester
purchase at any meeting of the
board. He said he did not favor the
purchase of the West Chester, but
raised no objection at the meeting
when the committee reported in ia
vor of it.
