Tho Mountain Copper company will erect n concentrating plnnt on Fin I creek, Jienr Keswick, with n daily capacity of 12.i0 tons. The cost of the plant, roughly estimated, will ho $500,000. The plans are drawn. The contract are about to he let to n lnruo ma chinery mauufneturiiij; firm in Sun Krnnefcco. The "surfey for the bite worn made loin; nco. Work of con struction will hepin early in the new year. The first unit of the plnnt will he completed hv next fall. The plant may posihly ho enlarged to n daily capacity of &000 tons. The plans have been prepared by Ittirch, Cnefnni & Hershcy. They arc now in the linnd of machinery tn.in ufneturers w'ho are fi;urinjj on Ink ing 'tho contract. It6prescnta(ics will bo here early in January. The site for tho larpe concentrat ing plnnt is not known dcfinitelv, though it is presumed to ho near the old Sacramento station of the Iron Mountain railroad, where there i" n large, gentle slope nrea on the Flat creek side that is ideal for the erec tion of a concentrating plant. Thw site, too, is within oay reach by a hrondgaugc railroad to the Southern Pacific. The Mountain Copper com pnny's brondgnuge extends only ns far ax the old smelter site. The need for n concentrating plant Is caused by the company having de- vcIoikhI n large amount of disscmin nting ore ore that fins blotches of high-grade chalcopyrite mixed with Bilicioim ganguo of no valuo what ever. The company has thousands of tons of this ore piled in immense dumps along the Iron Mountain rail road, and an almost inexhaustible sloro of it within the Iron Moun tain mine itself. This ore was struck several years ago inr a tunnel driven from the Spring creek level, fnr be low tho mnin tunnels from which' the millions of dollars of copper ore has been taken by the company since it began operations about 3602. ONFOKMINO with its usual custom, tlio Mail - uno will issue a profusely illustrated New Year's edi tion, depleting the progress ami development ol the Kiver valley during the past year. The year has been a prosperous one for tho fruitgrower and farmer. Good erops and good prices prevailed. Sub stantial progress in the development of national resources has resulted. The nrea in fruit has increased, the diversity ofproduets multiplied, farming, stock-raising, dairying and 'truck gardening stimulated. "What has been done and is being done should be her alded broadcast, and the most effective and practical way is through the New Year's issue of the distil Tribune. Co-operation of the valley is requested. Each locality is requested to send jn at once the story of tho year. Farm ers and fruitgrowers are asked to supply statistics of their yields and returns and to act at once.' A liberal patronage from merchants is essential, as the commercial activity and progroisivoness of a community is judged largclv bv their representation in the paper and local pride should make that representation as large and effective as possible. The size of the edition will be governed largely by the patronage. Itis planned to issue at least 10.000 copies. Orders for the same should be placed at once, as the edition will iro to press in sections in advance. Phone the office if you want your card in the Xow Year's number and a representative will call upon you. "Write or phone to reserve number of papers you want at five cents each. ABANDON EFFORT FOR FAIR DISPLAY FROM GERMANY ISIS 1Himt Favors Commission Form of Government for City KILLED BY A POSSE i no.NNKR SPRINGS, Kan., Dec. 13. -Holla JIarvey, on alleged bootleg ger, was shot and killed here today by a posso w-hllo resisting arrest. Marshal Easllng and Deputy Marshal Weber were wounded In tho oxchange of shot. Harvey sought refuge In the city hull and was riddled with bu lets by the posse which sur rounded It. To the Editer: I have read tne various editorials and articles which have appeared In yonr paper for some time relative to tho Inefficiency anti extravagance of the present city administration.. I olso note thai several recall petitions and ono InltlatUo petition, delnr: away with tho salaries of tho mayor and city councllmen, are being circu lated. I am of tho opinion that these are steps In tho wrong direction and that In order to materially chango tho effect It will first bo necessary to chango the cause. I do not believe that any thing can bo accomplished by creating strife and discord but that a great deal can be accomplished by working In har mony. I believe that tho business men, who are assisting In the circu lating of these petitions and the men circulating them. Instead of circulat ing petition which will cause dis cord, should be deTlBlng plans where by wo can all get together and work In harmony with something definite In view, it seems to mo that the present system is wrong and It mat ters little who Is at tho head of the city government under tho present system. Similar conditions have arisen In a great many cities and towns In tho Onltod States and the people In these cities and towns decided that It neoded more than a. chango of ad ministration, but that It needed an entlro change of system. They found that the common council system, which Is entirely controlled by poll tics, had become Inefficient and ex travagant, and slops were taken, In various ways to make a chango and to put Into effect a commission form of city government. In a city of about 12,000 people, tho circumstances of which I am somewhat familiar, tho merchants as sociation called a public meeting and an organization was perfected. This organisation appointed a commission charter committee to draw up or t3 have drawn up, a commission char ter. This charter was presented at several slmllur meetings and each ar ticle was discussed. When the char- tor was completed, to the xatlsfac tlon of the public attending thco meetings, It was placed before the people of tho city for tholr approval or disapproval by ballot. It Is need less to say tnat such a charter re ceived practically tho unanimous vote of the people and practically their unanimous support after Its adoption. The city to which I refer adopted the Des Moines system with a tav modifications to suit local conditions, the commission form of city govern ment In this particular city Is a suc cess. As to tho necessity of a chango In tho system In Medford there can be little doubt. The exact system to bo adopted should he left to tho peo ple and sorao means should bo taken to ascertain what tho will of tho peo ple In general la beforo tho charto. Is finally placed beforo them for final adoption. There aro many good features In all tho thrco leading systems. Tho Galveston system has many good features; tho Houston system has others, and tho Des Moines system still others. It may be possible that the majority of the people of Medford would favor the managerial for mof city government. Those matters should be settled and tho charter as near perfect as pos slblo boforo tho final election. Let us ploco tho blame whoro It belongs and got togothor and work for a bigger, better, busier Medford. Yours fery truly, LEO L. I1EISKL. Medford Dec. 15.
