kinds. The new hoist will be in
operation within the next two
weeks, and probably sooner. Every
effort will be made to gain depth in
the shaft as quickly as possible. A
pump will also be installed to han
die the water.
The officers of this company have
adopted a good policy that might be
followed with profit by other COM
panies, in that no officer of the COM
pany shall receive any remunera-
tion for his services, and that all
money received from the sale of
treasury stock stock shall actually
be expended in mine development.
Nearly $4,000 was subscribed for
stock before the company was pre-
pared to issue a share. This is be-
ing taken by Parker business men
who have confidence in the property
and in the district Several miners
have made application to work for
the new company and take their pay
out in stock.
One hundred thousand shares of
the stock will be offered the public
at 25 cents per share, and, according
to the company's officials, this will
be all the stock offered as it is
believed the property can be placed
on a. good paying basis with the
amount that is to be raised by the
sale of this first Offering.

Using property, and wish to predict
that with the present management
and sufficient money for develop
ment purposes this property will be-

of Arizona"
The property now owned by Tho
Arizona Standard was acquired
number of years ago by T. J. Car.
rigan, who has always had great
faith in the future operations of
this district, having started the
frs real mining operations in this
section. Mr.. Carrigan was one of
the original owners of the Clara
Consolidated ground, and is still a
large stockholder in this valuable
producer, which is now rated as one
Of the big mines of Arizona.
Mr.. Carrigan is responsible for the
organization of the Arizona STAN
dard Copper company, and has met
with fattering success in financing
the company. He has selected as
his associates in this organization
some of the most successful business
men of the southwest, who are all
widely known for the big and sue
cessful things that they have ac-
complished.
Mr.. Carrigan is among the most
capable and successful operators of
the southwest, having been identi-
fed with the development of the
mineral resources of this section for
about twenty-five years.

RED METAL WILL
SOON Be BIG
PRODUCER

That Parker business and profess
sional men have great confidence in
the mines of this district making
good and are willing to put up their
own money for development work
has again been evidenced by the
recent organization of the Red Met
ais Copper company.
The officers and directors of the
company are all Parker residents,
and in investing their own private
funds in this enterprise they feel
that they are taking little or no
chances on account of the most ex-
cellent showing already developed
on the ground which the company
has purchased.
The property which this company
has just taken over has been under
development for the past eleven
years by John Pritt, who has ex-
pended upwards of $4,000 in sink
ing shafts and in building four or
five miles of good Foads over the
sixteen claims.
The ground adjoins the holdings
of the Western Arizona Copper COM
pany on the south, and lies about
two miles north of the Empire-Ari-
zona Cons. Copper cOmpany's mines.

Deepening Shafts.

A 225-foot shaft has been sunk on
the Homestake claim, water having
been encountered at this depth. The
company is now arranging for the
installation of hoist and this shaft
will be sunk to the sulphide zone
At the 200-foot level of this shaft
the ledge has been crosscut for 40
feet, and some good sized lenzes Of
carbOnates have been exposed, run
ing from 10 to 20 per cent in copper
content.
Very few companies are so FORUM
as the Red Metals Copper company
in securing a property with a shaft
already sunk to water level. The
officers of the company believe that
very little capital will be necessary
in bringing in a producer, and it is
the expressed belief of several we'll
known mining men that large body
Of sulphides will be struck within
the next 100 feet.
Another most excellent showing
has been developed on this property
in the 100-foot shaft on the Copper
Gulch claim. At this level a drift
was run on the ore, which is of
good commercial value. A 40-foot
tunnel was run into the contact and
a good grade of ore exposed on this
same claim.

1t is very Characteristic Of the
district in which the property of the
Arizona Standard Copper company
is located that the values in gold and
copper increase in depth, this hav-
ing held true in all the mines now
producing. The altered silicified
zones lying in lenses between the
porphyries are apparent. The least
leached portions of the surface ex-
pose and promise large output OF
carbonate ores from the surface, rich
enough to smelt on the ground or
to ship to nearby smeIters.

Disseminated Ore Bodies.

F. E. Kelso, the well-known min
ing engineer, believes that the STAN
dard ore bodies at depth will ex-
ceed in copper content those of
either the Ray or Miami properties,
and in a report recently made on this
property he gives the following
reasons: .,
"The whole surface of this group
is certainly most promising of ore of
disseminated character, and of
very much richer content than any
of the ores now being exploited by
either the Ray or Miami properties

The crushing and faulting of the
porphyritic schist beds has opened
channels and beds which have been
filled by the circulating solutions to
such all extent that practically the
whole has been filled by ore bearing
copper, which may be from a few
feet to several hundred feet in thick
ness, and which can only be deter
mined by drilling.

The property of the Arizona Stan
dard Copper Co. has every indica-
tjon of developing into one of the
largest ''porphyry copper" mines in
Arizona, according to the opinion of
many prominent mining men and
engineers who have examined the
holdings of the company.
The Standard Copper company
was incorporated few months
ago with capitalization of S5,0OO,-

men and oil operators. Tim Spell

Angeles, is president; T. ]. Carrigan,
one of the best known mining men
in this section Of Arizona, is a di-
rector and general manager; Carl

UTILITIES Co. TO
GET new HEARING
Judge Hays Asks for Assess.
ment Of $4,000 for UtiIi-
ties Company.

Whether the tax valuation of the
Missouri Public Utilities Co., which
was fixed at $15O,OO0 by the County
Board of Equalization two weeks ago
will be reduced, will be decided next
Monday morning, when the officials of
the company file their sworn state
ment with the members of the board,
showing the actual value of all proper
ty and equipment held by the Missouri
Public Utilities Co. This action was
decided upon yesterday after A. NJ.
Tinsley, general manager of the local
offices of the company, in company
with Judge Edward D. Hays, appear
ed before the County Board of Equali-
cation to ask for a reduction of the
tax valuation of the company.
Judge Hays read a lengthy state
ment, showing the property of the
company in the Cape to be approx
mately 100000. Upon the 40 per
cent basis, Judge Hays asked that the
tax valuation be reduced to at least
$4,000. City Counselor Knehans,
however, opposed the proposed reduc-
ton and insisted that an itemized
statement, showing the physical valu-
alton of the company's property and
sworn to by the officials of the COM
pany, be presented to the court.
Yesterday was revision day and a
great number of requests for reduc-
ton of the recent increase Of the tax
valuation of real estate property in
the Cape were heard. The total re-
duction from the recently revised in
crease of the assessed valuation was
approximately $4,000, leaving still an
increase of nearly 100000 on the as
sessments made by the County Board
of Equalization during the last two
weeks.

E. Daugherty Gets $50 sigma
lures in Morley Township
People Busy.

Petitions, opposing the 100000 good
roads bond issue election, are being
circulated in every township in Scott
County, and it was stated yesterday
that the sentiment in favor of the
proposition is turning, and it now ap-
pears certain that the bond issue will
be voted dowI al the 81 ec;al election,
May II.
E. Daughe,ty of Morley township,
who has been circulating a petition
that section, has more than $50 sigma
lures to his document, he announced.
Only one of the scores he has inter-
viewed has refused to sign the remon-
STRANGE.
Mr.. Daugherty states that the plan
is to obtain 200 signatures of men
who are opposed to the bond issue in
each township, and then appear before
the County Court and request that the
special election be called off. By OBJ
tanning that number of signatures in
each township, the opponents of the
bond issue believe the County Court
will be convinced that the special cleo
ton will not carry.
John Dohogne, the well-known farm
err of Kelso, stated yesterday that the
exposures made by The Tribune had
changed the sentiment throughout
Scott County, and were responsible for
the remonstrances being circulated.
''The farmers of Scott County did
not understand what a tax they were
about to vote upon themselves until
The Tribune began publishing the
facts. The arguments presented b.
The Tribune against the Cape Girar-
deau County bond issue had telling
effect upon the farmers in Scott Coun-
| ty. Until The Tribune began its fight
upon the scheme. it seemed like Scott
County was to pass the bond issue, but
farmers who were in favor of it, are
now bitterly opposing the bond issue.
1t now seems sure to fail. even if the
County Court does not call off the cleo
ton.
"The Scott County newspapers have
been supporting the scheme right
along, and majority of the farmers
had joined in the movement. without
thinking what the taxes would be. But
they now realize that the $4,000 in

the people couldn't bear. was glad to
see The Tribune come out against it.
From what l can hear, / believe the
court might call off the election. If
the circumstances get as many names
as the men who are circulating them,

by calling off the election, the county

election, which, / am told, will be about
$1,000"

GRAVE DICCERS IN
RUMPUS AT GRAVE
City Officials Say Lorimier Gene.
terry Must Employ City
Sexton.

A dispute as to who has the right
to dig the graves in the private ceme-
teries outside the city limits arose
when the funeral of Henry C.. Oster-
loh was to be held Sunday afternoon
at the Lorimier Cemetery. The own
ers of the cemetery contend that they
have the right to employ their own
sexton, while city officials hold that the
digging of graves should be done by
the city sexton.
Those interested in the Lorimiel
Cemetery have asked an attorney fol
his opinion as to whether the city can
insist on its demand to have the graves
excavated by the city sexton. The at
torney will give his opinion today. At
torney James A. Banks, when asked
last night whether the owners of the
Lorimier Cemetery could employ their
private sexton, replied that they could
do so, provided the cemetery was out
side the city limits, which would re-
move the place from the jurisdiction of
the city officials.
Before the grave for Mr.. Osterloh
was dug Saturday evening, the City
Clerk notified the undertaken that he
would refuse to issue the death GER
tifcate if the grave were dug by the
private sexton of the Lorimier Gene
terry, Martin Nothdurft. He told the
undertaken that the city ordinance re-
quired that this work should be done
by the city sexton, and could not be
performed by any private individual.
Nothdurft, until a few weeks ago,
was the city sexton, but failed to re-
ceive his reappointment by the men,
bers of the City Council several weeks
ago. At the same time he was en-
ployed by the owners of the Lorimier
Cemetery as their private sexton.
Robert Vogelsang, secretary of the
Lorimier Cemetery Association, said
last night that they would continue to
have all work in the cemetery done by
Nothdurft, as he had always given
satisfactory service. He added that
! he did not believe the city had any
jurisdiction over the cemetery, as il
was outside the city limits. The own
ers of the cemetery, however, will
await the decision of their attorney,
Ed Drum, before they take any fur
tier action in the matter.
When informed by the City Clerk
that he would withhold the death GER
tificate until the ordinance was COM
piled with, the undertaken told him
, that he was not interested in the case,
and would let the two sections settle
the dispute between themselves. Moth
durft, rather than disturb the funeral
arrangements, agreed to let the city
sexton dig the grave.

MISS KIENNINCER
ELOPED SATURDAY
Married Harold Davids0n-News
Sent to Brides Mother Mon
day Morning.

The marriage of Miss Erna KEN
ninger, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Kienninger of Jefferson avenue, and
Harold Davidson, became known yes
terday, when the mother of the bride
received a letter from her daughter
informing her that she and her hus-
band were on short honeymoon trip.
They went to Sikeston Saturday even
ing.
The ceremony was performed Satur-
day evening by Rev. A. Wilder, pastor
of Trinity Lutheran Church. Imme-
diately after their marriage the couple
slipped away to Sikeston. They are
expected to return in a few days. That
an engagement existed between the
two was known, but the wedding came
as surprise to the parents of both
the bride and the bridegroom.
Friends of the young couple, how
ever, rumored that the couple had
gone to Sikeston to be married, when
it was learned that they had left the
city, but the news of the marriage did
not become known until Mrs. KEN
ninger was notified by her daughter!
Miss Kienninger has been employ
ed in the Vandivort store for several
years. She is pretty and popular in
her set. Mr.. Davidson recently ac-
copied position as travelling sales
man for the John T. Milliken Chemical
Co., of St. Louis, after resigning his
position as clerk in the Dalton drug
store. He lived with his mother, Mrs.
Amelia Davidson, on South Middle
street.
When the couple left Saturday even
ing they told their friends that they
would return early Monday morning.
When they failed to arrive their
friends became convinced that the
young couple had eloped.

NORTH MAIN STREET
Will BE IMPROVED
F. W. Morrison Wins Three.year
Fight to Pave Thoroughfare-
Owners Consent.

North Main street, from Broadway
to the Sloan Creek bridge, will soon be
paved, marking the final chapter of a
fight that has been waged for several
years.
Frank w. Morrison, the well-known
fuel and ice man, announced four years
ago that he was going to make North
Main street a part of the city. "This
part of the town has been considered
another part of the State" said Mr..
Morrison, "and l propose to have it
officially annexed"
Yesterday he announced that his
campaign was over and success had
crowned his efforts. For the first time
in more than dozen attempts he has
obtained the signatures of a majority
of the property owners on North Main
street to a petition calling for the
pavement of that thoroughfare.
81 haven't been able to see all the
property owners" he said, "but have
majority with me and Pm going to
give the rest a chance to sign or re-
fuseko sign the petition"
The street has been in a dilapidated
condition for years, and everytime an
effort was made to improve it, re-
was filed by a major
ity of the property owners. But a
majority have now signed the petition
to improve it, ard the matter will be
submitted to the council for its ap-
proval within the next few weeks.
This is one of the NEST important
streets in the city. It runs by the shoe
factory and all of the hauling for that
institution is over North Main street
The employees of the factory have COM
planned frequently about the co1d;-
ton of the street, but it will soon be
a model street, and the deep ravines
which now make it as rough as a stair
way, will pass into history.
