MP 1T IN THE BUD"

1t is only a short time now be-
fore the regular November cleo
ton, and as there is a referen-
dunn amendment TO be voted on,
the people should become famil-
lar with this amendment and
know how they are going to vote
on same when they go to the
polls.
This amendment in question
proposes TO change one word in
| the Constitution, with reference
10 the age of a man who may
qualify as governor of the state.
The Constitution now provides
that The Governor shall be at
least thirty years of age, and
shall have been a citizen of the
United States for twenty years,
and shall have resided in the
state five years next preceding
the day of his election"
The amendment simply pro-
poses to change the word "thir-
ty' and insert ''twenty-one". Or
| in other words to allow an mex
perienced boy to serve the state
as governor. 1t is believed by
many that this proposed change
was suggested and worked up
by friends principally that Hon.
N. S. Connor might make the
race for this Office, he being just
q little under thirty years of age.
Now, Mr.. Connor is an able
young man and probably quail
/ fed for the Office, but TO change
p the organic law that he or any
other particular man might
serve is preposterous and alb
= surd. for there are plenty of men
capable of filling the position
5 who have attained the proper
age. without changing the con-
Stitution.
But the main point is that the
; law should not be changed, with
out regard to him, for it mat
terS not how able and learned a
young man of 21 years is. he has
? not had the experience tina; il
, necessary for a man to ell the
2 position of governof of j great
! state with the wisicn' he should
possess.
Some of the wisest men Of ou.'
state. In their matms Judge
D ment. fixed the age linut AT 30
years, and il would ',e folly TO
z change il There IS no reason
for it. and there is little doubt
that the people viii put a quiet
Us on the proposed movement.
l. The heutenant-govcrnnr and SUI
l preme judges must be thirty
= years old; circuit judges, chan
: cellors and attorney general
2 must be twenty-six, and all other
S state officers and senators must

d And yet, the legislature might

! pass on them, and the immature
: youth only twenty-one years
n nullify all they had done with
i his veto power. He might be
5 ever so brilliant and honest, yet
his judgement and wisdom
would be lacking at that age.
Nothing but years of practical

BUTTE COMPANIES
 SUSPEND MINING
 OF MANGANESE ORE
THIS STEP TAKEN FOLLOWING RECEIPT OF ADVIcEs FROM STEEL COMPANY THAT NO FURTHER SHIPMENTS WERE DESIRED; EFFECT OF PEACE

BUTTE, Mont, Nov. 3o.-Anaeonda Copper company last night suspended mining manganese ore from the Elm ma mine of the Butte Copper & Zinc company upon advices from Carnegie Steel company that it desired the Ana conda to discontinue shipments.
 Ability of steel interests to secure ships now for transportation of Bra zilian and Cuban manganese ores, which can be imported at cheaper rate than is provided by government sched- ule of manganese prices, is believed to have induced steel people to pass up Montana producers.
 Ophir plant of the Butte-Detroit company's contract with United States Steel corporation for delivery of manganese concentrates runs up to July 31, 1919
 No shipments have yet been made by Anaconda from it's new ferro-man- ganese plant at the Boston & Montana works at Great Falls, but the com pany expects to maintain this plant as a post war industry.

NEW BLOOD INJECTED
SEVERAL PROPERTIES BEING DE- VELoPED OR MINED BY INTER- EsTs WHICH RECENTLY HAVE ACQUIRED THEM FROM THEIR FORMER OWNERS, HE SAYS

Ed. T. Sheehy, mining man from Patagonia, reports considerable min- ing activity in the vicinity of liar shaw, the famous old silver camp.
 The Worlds Fair Mine. owned by Mir. and Mrs. Frank Powers, which had been successfully operated by them for a quarter of a century, is now under lease and bond to Hiram Whitcomb. a mining man of Tucson. MT Whitcomb has about SO men at work and he has erected a mill at the mine. which has proved a great success in handling the second-class ores. Mir. Whitcomb has made con nections with the Nogales power line, which supplies the camp with electric power. The Worlds Fair Mine is the richest silver mine in southern Ari- zona, and on the lower levels shows up we'll in copper, as development progresses. The Worlds Fair vein runs from a northwesternly to a southeasterly direction. crossing a number Of claims of the Worlds Fair group, thence crossing over the north end of the Wellington group of min ing claims. owned by the Sheehy Bros. and thence crosses the central part of the Humboldt group owned by the French Consolidated Mines company, and passing over into the American Mine. which is owned by Frank Here ford of Tucson and the estate of the late I. s.

NACOzARI CON. AND
 THARSIS YORK HAVE
 MADE CONSOLIDATION
WELL KNOWN PROPERTIES IN VICINITY OF NAcoZARI JOIN IN TEREsTs FOR DEVELOPMENT OF THEIR HOLDINGS; HISTORY oe MINE DEVELOPMENT

Advice has just come from the Nacozari Consolidated Copper com pany, operating large copper, silver and lead holdings adjoining the Mocte- zuma Copper company, near Naco- zari. Sonora. Mexico. that the com pany has completed negotiations, un- der way for several months past, which gives them control of the Thar sis York property. The Tharsis York was owned by a New York and Bos- ton corporation, and as the property adjoins both the Moctezuma Copper company and the Nacozari Consoli- dated, it is a most valuable and i'm portant asset to the latter Further more 1t is claimed by the Nacozari Consolidated that the newly acquired property embraces a very large area of the great copper rrophyry zone. extending through the Moctezuma Copper company and their own hold ings.
 The Naeozari Consolidated has in stalled and paid for new ore cars. track, compressed air drills, air pipe lines. etc. Their main adit has been driven over 2500 feet under the noun tain, and work will now be carried forward vigorously, with the intention of opening up the big copper reserve as quickly as possible. It is under stood that the Tharsis-York com pany has prevented the further ex- tension of the big tunnel, but with this obstacle removed, the work will progress rapidly; a solid six foot vein of copper, silver and gold has already been encountered in the face of the tunnel.
 A number of eastern capitalists are reported to be interested in the re- cent consolidation of these two prop critics and the company claims to have ample financial backing to complete its broad development and equipment plans, which are expected to place this property in shape for economical and profitable production.

MEXICO SOLVES ITS SILVER PROBLEM BY
 REDUCING ITS COINS
PROBLEM occAsIoNED BY RISE IN PRICE OF SILVER AND CON- sEoUENT MELTING DOWN OF PESOS AND TosToNEs TO GET PURE BULLION

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 30.-The phe- nomenal rise in the value of silver during the past few months, 1t hay ing increased from about 50 cents an ounce and even less, where it had remained for many years. to over sI per ounce Git is now S1.01 and a frac- tion), has produced an embarrassing and puZZling situation in this country regarding the currency question. The silver peso, containing nine-tenths of one ounce of pure metal. but with an exchange face value of 50 cents or less in American gold, dropped out of sight with promptitude and long since went into the melting pot. The silver 50-centavo piece. containing les sthan one-half as much pure metal as the peso, held on however and af- forded the principal currency resource for all commercial transactions. With in the past fortnight. however. owing to causes regarding. which there is considerable difference of opinion. these coins have almost entirely dis appeared. leaving nothing but gold and subsidiary silver. nickel and cop per. there being no paper of any kind current Conflicting reports are in circulation regarding the disposition that has been made of these coins. On the one hand it is alleged that the money spectators have hoarded them for the purpose of exacting a premium therefor from business houses who are obliged to supply themselves with silver. while on the other it is charged that the silver is being shipped out of the country and disposed of at it's bullion value, thus affording a handsome profit to the spectators, although there is a severe inhibition against such export. But whatever the cause. the fact remains that the coins have disappeared and business of all kinds is seriously ham, pered thereby. While the mines are producing an abundance of silver bull lion, the miners naturally do not care to offer it for coinage when the face value of the product is SO much less than the bullion value. To meet this sudden and vexatiOus dearth of coin. 1t has been proposed to reduce the bullion value of the 50 cent coin to it's face value either by increasing the amount of the alloy or by reducing its size and maintaining the purity of the silver contents. If the stability of the bullion value of silver could be at the present quotation of practically $l01 per ounce, this

HODCSON GOES TO' NORENC|;; SHERMAN
 TO SUCCEED HIM
Former Consulting Mining Engineer Heads Detroit Copper Company; Notman Also Is Advanced

Following the resignation of NJ. H. Mclean, for a number of years gen. eral manager of the Detroit Copper company mines at Morenci, Capt. James P. Hodgson, consulting mining engineer for the Phelps Dodge corpo- ration has been promoted to the posi- ton thus made vacant and has left Bisbee for his new post.
 Captain Hodgson's fine record for efficiency, made in the Michigan dis tricts, has been enhanced greatly since he came to Bisbee to make his headquarters. As a mining expert he has won additional laurels in his profession, while as a citizen he has gained a warm place in the hearts of Bisbee folk. He has been particularly prominent in Y. M. c. A. work since coming here. The good wishes of his local friends will follow him to Mo renci.
 Captain Hodgson's promotion made room for another mining man of rec. ognized merit in the person of Ger. aid Sherman, who succeeds him as consulting engineer for the Phelps Dodge corporation. MT. Sherman during the several years of his con nection with the Copper Queen branch and more particularly since he has been its mining superintendent. has gained a well-deserved reputation for efficiency. This IS amply borne out by the numerous betterments in min ing practice which have taken place latterly, with inauguration of which

LARGER COPPER RECOVERY HAS
 BEEN EFFECTED
How Lake Superior Mines Are Getting Better Returns per Ton of Rock Than Formerly Was Possible

CALUMET. Mich. Nov. SO.-Al- though other handicaps are not lack ing. the Michigan mines are endeav- bring the maintain their vigorous prosecution of metal production and deyelopment work The latter IS necessarily receiving less than normal attention because the larger forces are required on production. Because of this, practically none of the mines is sinking and the only work which may be classed as development is talk ing place in the mills. At the Quincy. Copper Range and Calumet X Hecla mills, every effort is being made to develop a greater reduction of mineral per ton of rock and some remarkable results are noted In fact. less rock is being made to produce more metal than ingenuity had figured out to be passible three or four years ago. The way this is done is by additional treat ment of the sand or shines.
 The Calumet & Hecla after years of experimenting now has complete Notation recrushing and filtration plants in operation. It has been fig ured out that the sand bank alone will yield $700 per share and from the manner in which the work is be- ing prosecuted the earnings of the recrushing mill will exceed that fig ure. Even after the sand was re- treated it was found that still more copper could be recovered and the flotation process reduces the final loss to such a small figure that 1t is negligible.
 The Champion recrushing process has reduced the loss to about five
