REDDING
HEDDLN'O, Cal., Dec. 18. 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.

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.
