A Youthful Tnimagc.

Good preachers are scarce. And good sermons are scarcer.
 The Rev. Norman Howard Bartlett, who is coming to Jerome March 2i, doesd't run a Sleeper on his Gospel train. But from the time he pulls out of the station until his last stop, things move.
 The Preachers Magazine New York speaking of Rev. Bartlett, says: "At the close vf Dr. Talmage's remarks, the next speaker-a slight, smooth faced, extremely good-looking young man-stepped forward and said: It's as easy to trace the trail Of the devils tail through q congregation of lazy saints as lJ is t0 f9,!o@ the path to the drug store in prohibition town The speaker was the Rev. Norman Howard Bartlett, of the Stanton Street Mission. He spoke little less than thirty minutes; but in that time he said nore original things-made more people laugh and cry-than some men du n d lifetime Dr. Parkhurst who spoke next, called him d pocket edition of 1aImage. Everyone should hear the Rev. Bartlett every night he is in JeruIne-une week. You can't afford tu miss une of his sermons. They are short, crisp and convincing. --Jerome Repurter

Eastern Capital in Arizona.

Messrs. J. Henry Wood and J. H. Costello of Buffalo, New York. who have beenon an extensive trip through A ilona, are registered at the Brown Palace. Mir. Wood gave the writer some interesting data concerning the mineral resources of that territory. He and his associate, MT. Costello, c csn about 600 acres of placer and gold territory, upon which they have or ganized the Golden Wave Mining company. Very complete duplicate hOisting plants, from Fairbanks, Morse & Co.,, have been installed, cun- sistiDg of thifty-hurse-p power special engines, run by distillate oil; Ser geant-lugersOll compressor aud air drills. The engine is novelty, hav- jug been constructed especially for tliIs company. It avoids Lhe loss of evaporation incurred by gasoline, be- sides being equally economical in ol efation. Upon d test run of twen- ty-four hours the engine usrd but sew euteer gallons of oil, costing B 40.
 he lode cIaims were secured last July and the main shaft UT incline on the Last Chance, ,one uf the cutnpany's gruuD, is down over POO feet, making a splendid showing of mil and smelL- dug ore. Tue former runs SlO un sur lace and the latter up tu S2OO in gold.

The Martinez creek runs through the prUperly, aud d switch furnishes supe- EiUr shipping facilities to the El Paso sneller, the nearest point available. Presc"tL Is the principal town of the district, aud MT. Wood states that large amount of prospect aud develop ment work Is in progress at this time In tuat vicinity.
 MT. Costello, who is very practical mill man and capitalist of Buffalo, has made extended trips through Mexico aud Arizona, and has finally decided on tue property named upon which to push active and extensive develop nleit. He and MT. Wood have been prospectinis fur the past two or three mOhths thriugtout Arizona, and ex- pect to operate uther properties there. They are very much pleased with Col oradn's shuwing in mining way, aud expect to return in about six weeks to look over the mines of the greatest gold stai e in the Union. Both appear to he conservative, level-headed, up- to-daie business men, who are going into mining as d business and not as a stock speculation.-Ores and Metals.

Law on International Shipments
H. 4

Law on International Shipments To
he Enforced.
The interstate commerce commission has;
received many complaints of rate cutting by
through railroad lines which lie partly in
Canada and carry great quantities of
freight between points in the United States.
These complaints have been made by ship
pers and American carriers, and with such
force that it was proposed some time ago
to restrict or abolish the privilege Of carry
ing goods in bond or under seal through
Canada TO points in the United States
The legal controversies over certain sec
lions of the interstate commerce act have
seriously hampered the commission in deal
ing with this matter, but the commission
has in contemplation rigid enforcement OF
the sixth section of the act, which has
heretofore been given little attention. That
section requires every carrier subject TO
the act receiving freight in the United
States to pe carried through a foreign
country to any point in the United States.
shall, at every depot where the freight is
received, publish schedules showing the
through rates to all points in the United
States beyond the foreign country to which
IL accepts freight for shipments. If the
through rate shall not have been published
on such freight. then the goods so carried.
DeiOre nelnR duMlLleu INTO tDe
States, shall be subject to customs duties
as IL they were OF foreign production
This is the only provision of the act
which requires the initial carrier in a con-
nection line to publish and keep open 10
public inspection the aggregate rate from
the point of shipment to the point OF des
tination. Connecting roads having a joint
schedule must publish it, but if they carry
at the sum OF their local rates the first
carrier is bound only 10 publish its own
separately established rates. Many car
riers. instead of making a Joint tariff, es-
tablish proportional rates" less than their
local, when the traffic is carried by con-
Meeting read. The question will arise as 10
how the customs officials are to know
whether the goods carried through an adj
jacent country have or have not been ship
ped Under a through rate kept open FOR
public inspection al the point Of shipment
within the United States, The answer ia
found in the powers of the secretary OF the
treasury to enforce the customs laws.
As to merchandise transferred between
points OF the United States through Can
ada or Mexico. the secretary OF the treas
ury may prescribe routes and conditions.
IT is therefore plain that to insure coilec-
ton of duties in the event of failure to pub
lish the through rate at the point of ship
ment sworn statements by railway Off
cials covering publication and actual charg
ing OF the through rate could be required
by the treasury department TO accompany
all manifests of goods go transported.

sion of the Columbia Tap.

AS soon as legal notice can be given
the Southwestern Freight bureau will make
applicable between Shreveport and Hous-
ton and Galveston, the rates now quoted
on northbound business between these
points. Until Devember 10 the authorized
rate from the South Texas cities to Shrevc-
port was So cents first class, but was re-
duced to so cents per hundred pounds In
order to meet Mississippi river compete
tion from New Orleans. There had always
been more or less an inclination to give
the 60 cent rate prior to the bureau notice
last month. and the bureaus action was
nothing more than legalizing what was
already being done.
The application of the go cent rate from
Shreveport to Houston and Galveston is
not regarded as being of extraordinary
significance. The only material benefit viii
be to the territory adjacent to Shreye-
port.
The new tariff will so into effect Jan
