 ASSERTS HINES

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-Replying to a. senate resolution, Director Gen eral of Railroads Hines informed the senate today that while there had been some car shortage in the bitum- inous coal districts, he did not ''antici- pate any shortages in transportation which will be in any sense excep- tional or abnormal or which justify oppressive prices for coal"
 "The great danger that confronts the public" the director general as serted, is that any shortage either in production by the mines or in trans portation may be exaggerated so as to Serve as a pretext for heavy increases in the coal prices, which in my opin- ion arc already high, generally speak ing"
 Mr. Hines called attention to the re port of the Geological survey showing that up to July 12 the loss on account of car shortage was very minor one and relatively much less than that from mine causes" and mo market" ,"
 T. do not believe" he continued, that further action by congress will aid in meeting the demands for the transportation of the coal which will be needed during the remainder of the calendar year"
 MT. Hines said, however, that if the coal demand amounted to 500,000,000 tons. as predicted by the National Coal association, there promises to be not only substantial difficulties in the transportation of coal but also in the production by the mines of the caal which cap he tranSDorte ed 7" Re garding the ear supply, MT. Hines said there were 1,067,000 open top cars in the United States.
 He estimated that about 775,OO0 cars were suitable for coal loading

DAWSON TURNS SALOONS |NTO
 MINER CLUBS

The experience of Dawson, New Mexico, in replacing the saloons with the same, minus the alcoholic drinks speaks well for the success of the Sal vation Army plan of turning all corner saloons into clubs. When the prohi- bition law went into. effect in New Mexico, it was decided at Dawson, the coal and coke mining camp of the Phelps Dodge Corporation, to retain the saloons, that is, the fixtures, the brass rail and the bar keeper, and turn them into clubs or soft drink par lOrs, performing all of the functions of the saloon, except the selling of hard drinks.
 When shorn of the large profits that go with the alcoholic drinks, the saloon could not be expected to be as as profitable, but they have been more than self-sustaining.T The recent an nouncement by Commander Booth that the Salvation Army is to acquire the leases of the corner saloons in New York City, to be- operated along the same plan as that which has proven successful in Dawson, bears out the observation that men go to the saloon lOi COAhpdhiOhSu1p lAdtHOl SNAi Ao- drink. 9.a
 Commander Booth, in a recent in- terview, said:
 "The Salvation Army has within the last few weeks demonstrated the psy- chology of the brass rail. There is something about the shining bar that brings men to common footing. The 'easy and relaxed attitude of those who lean against the mahogany or cherry suggests comfort
 The experience at Dawson shows more than that; it retains its value as poor mans lub"-a place where a man can go in an atmosphere where he feels entirely at home, not club with a marble foyer where he feels that he must have white collar and patent leather shoes. The saloon con verted to the soft drink Rarlor an re tain the companionship and sociability that is denied by the soda fountain. Experience at Dawson has shown the possibilities of the plan, which 1t is believed, will extend all over the country.

OPERATIONS ID RENEW LIN LONE
 PINE VERDE CO.

JEROME, Aug. 16. - Development operations on the property of the Lone Pine Verde Copper company will be inaugurated in the near future. The decision to resume work on this prom ising group was reached recently at a meeting of the stockholders of the company.
 Development work is to be started on a large scale. Eastern capital, 1t is said, has been interested with the result that the company is insthe best of condition financially. w. A. Jordan, president of the company, has left for an Eastern point to confer with the packers of the enterprise.
 Extreme optimism characterized the stockholders meeting. Every share outstanding was represented at the session, which was postponed from August 8 at the request of California stockholders, who wished to be pres ent at the meeting. Reports which were not given out for publication, are said to describe the claims held by the company, in a glowing manner.
 Work was stopped on the prospect, shortly after the declaration of hostili- ties, for the duration of the war in ac- cordance with the wartime policy of conservation, though the showing made by the preliminary development almost entitled the Lone Pine to be included in the producer class.
 The holdings of the company adjoin the properties of the Shea and Grand Island. There is maIxeG activity in this district. At the present time, the Grand Island is prosecuting an ambi- tious diamond drilling program and the Shea is shortly to be developed on an unusually large scale.
 The Lone Pine Verde is recognized as one of the best groups in that high ly promising district. At the time of the cessation of activities, the main shaft had been sunk to a c;stance or so feet. Two tunnels had been cut and rich ore values were found in each. The upper tunnel is 15O feet long, and the lower PTS feet. The last assay run on samples taken from the upper tunnel indicate that the ore will average 15S per ton. It has high copper and silver content and carried large gold values. This assay would run considerably higher at the present time for when the analysis was made silver was selling for approximately 50 cents per ounce, or less than half the present market value of the metal.

.0[D DOMINION
 PLANS QUARRY

The Old Dominion is preparing to open up a quarry for flux near the site of the Gray shaft. This is body of limestone that carries high per centage of iron and approximately one per cent copper. This body of ferru- ginous limestone will make an excel lent Aux as the iron contained in it will make good running slag.- The amount of copper contained will go a long ways toward paying the cost of quarrying.
 The raising of the main shaft from the nineteenth to the eighteenth level are now being put in. As soon as this work is completed the sinking of the shaft will again be started. The shaft is still making about the same amount of water as previously; that is, about 100000 gallons per day. Due to the recent rains the total amount of water pumped from the mine has increased about one half million gallons per day.
 A body of hig grade ore has been en- ountered in the opening up of the 18th level, but the extent of it has not been determined as yet.
 Production of copper for July was approximately 1,650,000 pounds. This is the lowest production of the Old Dominion in some time ana has been due to the fact that the smelter has not been in operation. So far, this months production of copper has shown decided increase and with the blowing in of the shelter, this increase will be further augmented.

Old Landmark Being Dismantled.

The old Brown Palace" is finally being dismantled. This building, which has been a prominent land mark at Webster Gulch for great many years, was erected several years ago by the late Col. Fleming to serve as leach ing plant for the ores of the present Warrior mine. As often happens in pioneer enterprises, the teaching plant was failure and this old building has long stood as a monument to the first efforts of teaching in this district. It is coincidence that this old plant is only a few hundred feet from the teaching plant that is now being oper- ated by the Inspiration Consolidated Copper company, where everything points to successful solution of the teaching of copper ores in this dis trict.

 The Inspiration still continues to make great many surface improve ments, among which are the erection of the new administration building and the construction and improvement of various roads over the property
 The administration building is re- inforced concrete structure with a Spanish tile roof It consists of two stories and basement and will be equipped modernly in every respect. Ice water will be piped throughout the building and vacuum cleaning sys- tenn will be part of the equipment. Modern vaults for the protection of the records will be installed. This building will be used for the accom- modation of the administration and accounting departments.
 Thousands of dollars are being ex- pended on the construction of new roads and the repair Of those in exist ance. It is the intention of the man agement to cut out all short curves on the roads and to install efficient drain age. The drainage will be done by a system of ditching and the use of Arco pipe culverts. Property drainage is one of the most important points in the keeping of roads in satisfactory condition.

NEW CORNEL|A
 IN THIRD YEAR
 'AS \ PRODUCER

The July production figures of New Cornelia will probably attract more than ordinary interest at this time by reason of the fact that that month started the third year of the com pany as shipper of copper.
 New Cornelia, the youngest of the porphyry properties, started opera tions in May, 1917, while the first shipment of electrolytic copper was made on June IS, of that year. Dur ing the two year period since the company has produced S9,632, 900 pounds of copper, 19,4S2,191 pounds representing the output during the part of the 1917 year that the plant was in operation, 46.950,139 pounds during the entire 1918 year, and 23,- 100000 pounds during the current year to date.
 This company has therefore been shipping copper exactly 25 months, yet in that short length of time it cleaned up it's floating debt, converted it's bonds into stock, and last November paid on initial dividend of 25 cents a share, indeed a remarkable record for this newcomer among the porphyry group. With a return to normal con- ditions in the copper metal market New Cornelia is now expected to be one of the leaders among the con structive coppers.
 New Cornelia for several months past has been operating at approxi mately two-thirds capacity, July pro ductiOn amounting to 3,24O, ,OOO pounds, against 3,440.000 pounds in June. It would not be a difficult matter, how ever, for the company to quickly in crease its production. to capacity with short notice.
 1t is understood that New Cornelia is laying it's copper down in New York at cost of about 12k to Is cents a pound, exclusive of charge for oie depletion. This low cost makes pos sible substantial profits on the current copper metal market. anc ;nere gre those who incline to the belief that another dividend will be paid on the shares before the close of the year
 A feature in favor of New Cornelia is that it operates with what is said to be the lowest tonnage cost known in Arizona, thanks, to it's steam shovel system of operations.
 q The process of treating the ore by teaching, which was adopted by New Cornelia, produces practically pure copper without the necessity of smelt. ing and refining. This is the only company using this teaching process in tue country, and the only one in the world, except Chile Copper.

The underground pockets at Shaft No. will soon be finished, which will mark the practial ompletion of the underground work entailed in the sinking of this shaft. Excavation and grading for the new hoist and head frame at this shaft is progressing very rapidly and it will only be short time before the installation of the ma chinery will be started.
 The mill still continues to run at two-thirds capacity and no information is available as to when the remaining sections of the mill will be put in operation; probably not until the cop per and labor situation clears up.

Van Dyke Copper Past 300 Ft. Mark

Shaft Number 1 of the Van Dyke Copper company is now BOA feet deep. Work on the installation of water ring and the construction or stump for the catching of the surface water of the upper portions of the shaft has been completed, a pump will be in stalled for the handling of the water. This will materially facilitate the sink ing of the shaft. as to date It has been necessary to handle the water by ball. ing.
 It is expected that the installation of the water ring and sump will solve the water problem until after the ore body has been reached.

DOUGLAS, Aug. 16.-Good reports continue to reach Douglas concerning the mining activity in that part of Sonora tributary tG this city. At the San Nocholas mine in the Cumpas dis trict the reconstructed concentrating mill, including the straight flotation process, is now in operation and is making regular output of about two tons of concentrates per day. This property is being worked on a lease held by Douglas citizens, including Marion Williams, who is president, F. H. Fisher, treasurer, and Carl Knud- son, manager in charge of the work. MT. Cloud, who is a director in the company, expects to leave for the mine tomorrow. He returned from a visit at his old home in Kentucky re- gently and would have seel ., the mine now except for the railroad washout on the Nacozari railroad.
 About forty tons of ore is being milled now each day and it is planned for doubling this operation during the fall season. From the forty tons of ore milled daily two tons of colceD- trates are received which gives eight hundred ounces of silver, 1900 pounds of lead and about 120 pounds of cop per. The concentrates are hauled by wagon to Nacozari where they are shipped to the Fl Paso- smelter for final treatment The name of the leasing company is the Desarrolladora and force of 50 men is employed.
 The North Tiere.
 Frank Holges, who is In charge of the work at the North Tigre, is in the city. A concentration is being erected on this property and good headway is being made with it. This property has been under development for sev- eral years and large bodies of ore are available for running the mill when it is completed. Dick" Brown, who was the original promoter of the com pany. said yesterday that he had every confidence in the future of the North Tigre.
 The Cinco de Mayo.
 The Cinco de Mayo, another promin- ent property in Sonora. not far from the Fl Tigre, is reported to be now about to be returned to the widow of Colonel Garcia, who was the owner of the property for years. It was taken over by the state government of Sono- ra some six years ago and 1t Is said that negotiations are underway for it's return to Mrs. Garcia.
 The ( Colonel was killed in the City of Mexico two or three years ago. It is said that under the operation of the government considerably valuable ore was taken out, but that in doing so all the waste was left in the mine and that it's condition now is such that it would have to be reopened, but it's known value would fully justify this whenever it's title is put in undoubted condition.
 The Roy Mine.
 Captain Barnett, who has been building fifty-ton concentration at the Roy mine, now owned by Col. B. A. Packard, of this city, has been in the city for several days, expecting to re- turn to the property today. The Roy adjoins the Cinco de Mayo and devel opment work fully justified the erec- tion of the mill. The mill is now prac- tically completed; test run was made ! that slight alteration would be made in some part of the machinery and Captain Barnett came here Tor some needed parts.

shell damaged cannon which were to
be broken up In Westphalia for the
metal. Newspapers say that on the
old artillery drill ground at 0ldenburg
there are more than 1000 wagons and
guns In various stages OF wreck, await
ing purchasers, Some OF the editors
have been demanding that something
be done at once to get old baggage
wagons and other former war vehicles
into the hands Of the farmers who are
much In need OF wagons.
Article 1853 OF the peace treaty states
that within two months OF the COM

German arms, Mutations and war ma
terial including nti-aircraft material,
existing In Germany In excess Of the
quantities allowed, must be surrendered
TO the governments Of the principal
allied and associated powers, to be de-
