ANECDOTES OF GEN. LUDLOW
How He Turned Down wouId-be
BOOdIing Contractor

Washington, May 13.-The stories Of
disa greements between General Brooke
and General Ludlow over matters affect
ing the government of Havana cause no
surprise here. where both men are so well
known. Brooke is the embodiment of the
eut-and-dried routine of military official
ism; Ludlow is a man who has net the
patience to unite troublesome knots when
they can just as well be slkt Brooke
answer TO every criticism of his official
conduct has uniformly been the produc-
tion Of the papers in the case, showing
that ne had intrenched himself securely
behind priecedents, and done everything
according to rule; Ludlow, wherever he

quired the officer performing them to
take upon himself pretty hard financial
responsibility, The board would decide
that Lighthouse should be put I'D in a
certain place, but Ludlow would pick out
another site which he thought better. and
would proceed to build there, unless
stopped in time, All the work he did
was excellent and the government got its
full moneys worth, but mere questions
of routine played no part in the trans
action,
Many stories are still told here Of I.ud-
lows odd ways of disposng of men whose
methods he despised. It is recalled that
an Irish contractor who had been doing
government work for some years paid
visit TO Ludlow soon after he had taken
charge Of an important undertaking in
the building line, and introduced himself.

Ex-Commissioner of Mineral Statis- ties Newett is authority for the state ment that up to July 28, 1899, the Calumet and HecIa mine has paid dividends aggregating s60. .s50,O 1000. Up to Jan. 1, 1899. this great mine has yielded l,2s5, 456. .s2O. pounds of ingot copper.
 It is also shown by Mir. Newett that the growth of this mine has been re- markable. Twenty-Five years ago the company was hoisting 800 tons of rock per day from shafts averaging 800 feet in depth, measuring on their dip of 35.l2 degrees. It is now hoisting 5, 900 tons of rock per day from an aver age depth Of $500 feet, while cue shaft is down 4,9O0. feet being the deepest in the world. A quarter of century ago 1,6l6 men were employed at this mine. The number is now fully 5000
 In 1898 the company produced S6,- 425,300 pounds of copper, taking 7,. 676, ,690 pounds from mineral in stock at it's smelters. For the last fiscal year the output of refined copper was AS, ,S79 tons.

Many of the close friends of Presi- dent Mckinley expect nur to rs4ire to private life at the end of his term. declining to be a candidate for re- nomination. Various reasons are as- signed for this, the principal one be- ing that the president has broken in health under the burdens of his ogiice. that Mrs. Mrs. Mckinley finds the many cares of the White House toe great for her strength; and that the president personally doubts the dis. position of the American people to re- elect chief executive.-[ Washington Letter.

Thxoughout the entire west, but
 more particularly in the territories of
 Arizona and New Mexico, the idea of National irrigation prevails almost unanimously with the people. No more meritorious proposition can pos. sibly come up before congress, than the ouelof constructinggreat national reservoirs for the storage of the per manent aud fieodswaters of the coun- try. Such system would bring mil lions Of now worthless acres into mar ket and under successful cultivation,

adding thereby wealth, population, and general prosperity to the whole country. The government would be enabled to dispose ofits public lands, under these reservoirs, and to cover into the United States treasury mill lions of dollars, more perhaps than the first cost of any and all reservoirs so constructed. It would make of the great southwest, or arid region, the paradise for the eastern home-seeker, and thus relieving tue overcrowded populous centers along our northeast ern Atlantic seaboard.-TPick and Drill.

 Gov. Murphy of Arizona has ap- pointed as delegates to the Irrigation Congress, which is to. meet at Missoula. Mont, Sept. 25, A. J. Chandler of the Consolidated Canal, J. K Doolittle of the Rio Verde Canal, w. A. Hancock of the Agua Eria Canal, C. J. Hall late receiver of the Arizona Canal, and Andrew Kimball of the Enterprise Canal. of Graham county. As these corporations have a right, under tue call for the convention, to appoint one delegate each, it is apparent that the canals will be we'll represented. and it is claimed that an effort will be made to secure the endorsement of the ces- sion idea at Missoula, by tactics similar to those employed at the Trans Mississippi Congress. A movement has been started in Phoenix for send ing to Misseula 2 delegation to oppose the idea of eeding the arid lands to the states, and it will be shown, at least, that Arizona is not nnit in favor of the cession scheme. Jndge 4W H. stillwell, one of the lending lawyers of Arizona, will probably head the delegation.
