DODGE HAVE
 CLOSED OPTION

DOUGLAS, Ariz., April 10.-Phelps Dodge & Co. nave taken over the mining properties Lno@n as tt- Ben nett-Stephenson, Memnhis and Tor pedo on bond and lease, and ha,. op- tions on all rr.ncipal pr)pertics from the 'Modoc' to the Excelsior" in the Organ no,Etain minnlg dist rict N M.. for a d s,ance of ten miles or more on the contact. Substantial payments have inst been made on the principal properties and the total consideration on the entire properties approximates s1,500,000.
 The Bennett-Stephenson properties were located in 1894 by Hugh Ste phenson, a former resident of Las Cruces, and have produced more than $2,000,000 in ore, consisting of lead, silver, copper and wolfenite. The finest specimen of wolfenite ever shown, and which took the premium at the Worlds Fair at Chicago, and is now the property of the Smithso- nian Institute and on display by them, was taken by Professor Car rera from the Bennett-Stephenson in 1888, and shipped by him to Wash ington, D. c.
 The Torpedo property, which lies north of the Bennett-Stephenson at Organ, was located by Henry Poly in 1898 and has to it's record a pro- duction of about $1,000,000 in ore. The first 250 cars from this mine av- eraged 13 per cent in copper and some silver
 The Memphis mine, which adjoins the Torpedo on the north, was To- cated in the early seventies by w. J. Joblin and has produced about $150,- 900. The ores in this mine are cop per, silver, gold and zinc, copper predominating. Thrs mine at one time in the eighties, had a shelter on the ground and on account of water scarcity it was deemed best to remove it to Las Cruces and some of the ma chinery to this day can be found in a flour mill operated by natives in an early day. The Memphis within the past year has produced $40,OOO, taken out by leasers. This ore runs 10 per cent copper, $3 in gold and $3 in silver.
 Owing to continued litigation and internal disagreements among own CTS and operators, the development work of these great properties has been spasmodic and infrequent as at no time has the necessary money for extensive development work been available.

REWARD!

The electric transmission line re-
Gently completed and in operation be-
tween Heppner and lone, the lives of
the operators of that line, and of the
public who travel the streets and
roads which the line uses, have been
through the malice or ignorance of
someone, placed in serious danger to
property and life The line carries
an 11000-volt current Contact with
that current would be instant death.
Safety from that contact depends up
on the perfect insulation where the
wires are fastened to the insulators,
and continuous unbroken wire line.
A broken insulator releases the wire
and it drops to the pole, which at
once becomes carrier of the cur
rent. A pole charged is dangerous to
anything coming in contact with it,
a broken line coming in contact with
anything living means death. We con-
structed the line along accepted
standards of safety to life, if any ac-
cident occurs through the act of any
one else they and not we are liable for
it. 1t is for the purpose of safe
guarding the public that the laws Of
Oregon impose severe penalty upon
those who molest or disturb the safe
operation of lines of this character;
shooting at or breaking insulators
or breaking wires may bring on SER
ious danger to innocent operators at
the generating station and the pub
lie. Disturbing the operation or loss
of property is the least of attending
evils We have our operators and the
public to safeguard. Therefore, we
will pay Fifty Dollars Reward for any
information that will lead to the
identification, arrest and conviction
of anyone injuring, tampering with
or molesting any part of our trans
mission line, and we give notice that
prompt and effective prosecution of
any offender, irrespective of age or
sex will follow any such act or acts.
