Arizona is territory of mining
wonders. Her great copper, gold and
silver mines have demonstrated that
she possesses unlimited mineral re-
sources and yet the prospector's pick
has scarcely begun its discovery work
Indian raids, scarcity of water and
want of transportation facilities to
many of her mineralized mountain
ranges, have greatly retarded her
opening and development of several
of her most promising and richest
mining districts. The first yof these.
however, has been efectually settled,
the second largely overcome, and the
third undergoing rapid transforma-
tion by the building of local branch
railroads to her most productive min
ing camps, and today Arizona is en-
tering all era Of mining activity and
substantial growth mover before known
in her history. The handspring OF
shis energy Id largely centered in the
fact that the common use of elec-
trioity has created greater demand
fer copper requiring increased pro
luction and stimulating prices, both
of which will bring Arizona to the
front and build for her copper pro-
ducing record that very soon will be
unsurpassed by any state or country

ROENTGEN RAYS IN WAR

An item of the greatest interest in
DR.. Battersby's recent paper on the
use of the Roentgen rays in the Sou
dan campaign, was the statement that
if there was no other means of pro-
viding current for the hospital cases
just brought In from the battlefield,
where inspection for the location of
bullets was needed, a tandem bicycle
could always be relied on for the pur~
pose. Further details of the process
have now been given. It appears
that the Especially prepared candles,'
which had been put into the supply
wagons to give light in. the desert,
were all melted by the heat, SO that
the storage batteries carried by the
hospital staff for the K ray work on
the wounded. The pulley of a small
dynamo was connected by means of a
belt with the ba,k wheel Of tandem
bicy Gle, The circuit would be first
adjusted with the storage battery,
and also with voltmeter and ammeter,
which indicated the amount and
pressure of current being generated,
and then warrant officer mounted
the saddle of the back seat and began
pedalins When is volts and am :
peres were registered, switch close
to the handle of the bicycle was
opened, and ths ch .rging Of the bat
terry commenced. AS the resistance
became greater, the man i'll the sad
die had all the sensations of taking a
very stiff hill, and finally on additional
orderly had to be requisitioned for
the front seat. All this time the
temperature was usually about 10
deg. Fahr. in the shade, so THAT half
an hour Of this sort of exercise was
all that the most enthusiastic votary
of science cared for. At the end of
that time the switch controlling the
battery was closed, SO as to prevent
any discharge of the stored element,
and the machine was brought. to a
standstilL
Dr.. Battersby speaks also of the
immense amount of mental worry
saved to the soldier by the use of the
X-ray. Formerly the probing for
the bullet was in many cases agon-
izing, and the prospect of the ordeal
would often unnerve the soldier more
than facing the enemy. Now the
agony of the uncertain cropping among
she muscles and sinews of the wounded
soldier is thing of the past; even on
field service bullets can bo localized
with mathematical precision in the
deepest parts of the body, and the
greatest help is gaihed-by the rays in
uncertain fractures.

lie was followed by II. NJ. Brown. one
of the Hampton teachers. who told why
he was interested in this kind OF train
ing for the negro race. lie said the con-
ditiOn of the negroes in this country was
serious and to be deplored, but showed
how it could be changed. through the
race realizing it's defects and DEFICIENCIES
and correcting them.
said he: "rhe negro needs as free
man what he did not get as slaye-the
reaction in mental force which comes
from intelligent labor, the putting OF
thought into his work. rather than the
mechanical doing of his task without
thought or liking. The iistless. shfftless
doing of the work of the carpenter, the
washerwoman, the waiter. or the barber
would have the effect of driving negroes
out of these callings in an age in which
all work from that Of the professional
man TO the common labOrer. was required
to be done I'm the best manner. The negro
failing to realize this fact, in the face OF
the competition of white labor, being in
troduced here, would inevitably be driven
TO the wall. The impression left upon
the hearers by the demonstrated success
Of Hampton. Tuskegee, and Calhoun negro
industrial training schools was that the
solution Of the negro problem OF the South
depended upon the thorough training OF
the race to use its hands deftly and It's
brains wisely in agriculture and the In
dustries.
This industrial training for negro chill
dren and youth should not. the speaker
said. be confined to these private insttu-
tons. but should have place in the COM
mon school system for negroes In this
and every other Southern State.
