Buys a Lot Of Islands.
Washington Dispatch, 4th.

| ''~~SNSA DAoPoOClIS fllls
Purchase BY the United States
OF the islands of st. Thomas, St.
Croix and st. John, lying to the
east OF Porto Rico and compris-
ing an archipelago known as the
Danish West Indies, is provided
for in a treaty signed by the Uni.
ted States and Denmark. 1t will
be submitted at once to the Uni
ted Statss Senate and the Danish
Parliament, whose ratiGcations
are necessary to complete the
purchase agreement.
No serious opposition is expec-
ted in the Senate, where action
will be sought at the present ses-
sion. Members OF the foreign re-
lations committee ore under
stood to be virtually unanimous
in their approval of the treaty.
Senator Lodge, the ranking Re-
publican member, issued q state
ment tonight declaring the argu-
ment in favor of the acquisition
OF the islands are unanswera5le.
The only objection is expected to
come from Senators who believe
the purchase price OF $25,OOO,-
900 too great.
The outcome in the Danish
Parliament is more uncertain,
although the expectation here is
that the treaty will be accepted.
European powers which have
wanted possession OF the islands
for military reasons are not ex-
expected to look with favor on
the proposed sale to the United
Statesand they may bring strong
pressure to bear at Copenhagen.
1t is recalled that failure OF sim
liar purchase treaty in the Dan
ish Parliament years ago was
attributed to German influence.
The signing of the treaty took
place in New York, where Secre-
tary Lansing and Constantin
Brun, the Danish minister, met
to afix their signatures to the
document. The copy which will
be fled at the State Department
was brought to Washington to-
night y Assistant Solicitor
Woolsey.
Details OF the pact will not be
made public until it is transmit
ted to the Senate, at least. 1t is
understood to provide, however,
for complete acquisition of the
islands, but to stipulate that
Danish business interests there
shall be guaranteed protection.
A clause also is included ceding
to Denmark the underlined Amer.
lean rights of discovery in Green
land, q Danish possession.
Senator Lodge emphasized in
a statement tonight the possibil-
ity that the islands, ifnot acquir-
ed by the United States, might |
fall into the hands of some Eu-
ropean power and involve this
government in difficulties under
the Monroe Doctrine (Which
might easily lead to war"-acon-
sideration which it is understood
has been prominently before the
eyes of officials here in their ne.
gotiations for the purchase.
"The population is only 49,
900, of whom nearly 10000 are
negroes" said Senator Lodge.
"There is no possibility OF any
material increase in population
and annexation would never in.
yolve at any time the trouble.
some question of Statehood.
"The Danish Islands could be
readily defended from attack, oc-
cupy "a commanding strategic
position and are Of incalculable
value to the United States.

SALUyIA SUMMARIZINGS.

A flock of fifty wild geese
alighted IN j. A. Stewards Ice
pond field last Friday afternoon.
Mr. Stewart says he would have
given a dollar for the privilege of
clipping their wings so they
could not fly away from the farm.
They would have been a great
att action to the many tourists
and other guests at the Green
hull House. Many are the opin-
ions as to the cause that led the
geese to come to terra tirma at
this point. Some think they in
vaded a strata of intensely cold
air which paralyzed them so they
could not fly farther; others think
they encountered an adverse cur.

separated from their leader-the

a more congenial cline; others
that they came down to get a

the cause, it Is evident that they
started out from home too soon.

SHEA HITS
A BIC LEDGE

JEROME. Ariz., Dec. 1.-Shea Cop
per Is again in the limelight as a re-
suit of the strike made on that prop.
erty ten days ago. There has been
little movement in the stock for months
but now 1t Is one of the local favor
ties. The Shea company has uncov-
cred five-foot ledge of copper gold
ore right across the creek from the
Copper Chief workings. Since then the
ledge has been traced 1000 feet, or
most of the way across the property,
and the values are about the same
along it's entire length. The gold con-
tent averages $21 a ton, and the ore
runs well in copper Tons and tons OF
it have been piled out on the dump
since the strike was made.
Five patented claims, adjoining the
Copper Chief on the south, are in
cluded in the Shea group They were
u0lO 4OI kAdIly yCdlo NY ~ y OAASee;
an old time Jerome business man and
one of it's most respected citizens. The
Shea Copper company was organized
last spring with Mr.. Shea as president
and many Of the leading citizens OF
Jerome as stockholders. The capitali-
zation is $750,OOO, divided into 100000
5O-cent shares. Mr.. Shea and his fell
low organizers received $4,000 shares
for the property and all that stock is
pooled indefinitely.
Negotiations for the listing Of the
Shea company's stock on the New
York curb are now in progress.
James T. Rice, formerly connected
with the United Verde and for sew
eral years in charge of the largest pro-
ducers in Butte, is now on the ground

Goodrich syndicate. While
here, however. they closed a deal with
Joe Larson and Charles Sutter for the
Monster, Howe and Larremore. Lar
son and Sutter owned the Monster and
held the News. Larremore and Howe
under option.
Generally speaking, these groups lie
between the United Verde Extension
on the north and the Green Monster
on the south, with the Verde Combin-
alton on the west. On the east are the
Haskell ranch and Monster Extension.
Included in the present holdings Of
the Warren jerome are the Monster,
Howe and Larremore properties, total
ing nineteen claims. There are seven
claims in the News Mining company
group, which may have already been
added to the Warren Jerome.
The Larremore probably has the best
showing at the present time, some ore
being exposed there. 1t is probable
that the first development work OF the
Jerome company will be under
taken on the Larremore.

c. & A. PEOPLE
ENTER JEROME

JEROME, Ariz., Dec. Captain
John c. Greenway, general manager
OF the Calumet & Arizona company
and recognized as one of the leading
mining men of the United States, is
the head of the Warren-Jerome Cop
per company, new corporation which
has taken over and will develop the
Monster, Larremore and Howe groups,
and perhaps the News property as
well.
Associated with Captain Greenway
are Ira G. Joralemon, chief geologist
of the c.. & A, and practically every
one else below the general manager
who is at all prominent in that or
ganization.
Whether the. Calumet & Arizona
company is behind the Warren Jerome
or Captain Greenway and his lieuten-
ants have merely started out to de-
velop mine on their own account is
not known. 1t is generally believed,
however, that if anything worth while
is developed at the Warren Jerome it
will thereafter be listed as one of the
C. & A. properties.
Captain Hoatson, of Calumet, Michi-
gan, vice-president of the c. & A., was
in Jerome last spring and became
highly enthusiastic over the Verde dis
trict, particularly after he had been
shown through the United Verde Ex-
tension workings. 1t is generally re-
garded as not at all improbable that
he encouraged Captain Greenway, Mr..
Joralemon and the other C. & A. Off
cials to acquire control of something in
this district, and he may be heavy
stockholder in the Warren Jerome.
Just little over month ago Cap
tain Greenway and most of his assist
ants were in Jerome. 1t was an
nounced at that time that they were
here to look over the A. & A. for the
