The Ray Closed Down.

Operations at the Ray mine and mill have been suspended, and the Blade has been informed by letter, from the management that the suspension will probably continue for six months at the mine, unless the work of enlarging the mill capacity at Kelvin can be completed m less time. The board of management, in London, acting upon the recommendations of General Man ager Truman, has decided to enlarge the mill at Kelvin to five hundred tons capacity daily, and to install 450- horse power plant of the latest design to drive this additional machinery, Manager R. U. Truman will leave for New York next week for the purpose of arranging for the construction and shipping of the steam plant and ad' ditional machinery required for the enlargement of the mill to the capacity above stated.
 This step is in keeping with the original intention of the Ray company, A five hundred ton plant was part of their original program and the present two hundred ton plant at kel- win was erected simply with a view to determining whether or not the Ray ore could be treated at a profit with plant of large capacity. The experimental run has decided the question in the affirmative and the company will now carry out their original intentions and make the Ray one of Arizona's largest copper pro- ducers.

DUCKS IN THE PHILIPPINES.

Wednesday morning, March l6, was the time set for Gen. Wheaton's flying brigade to sweep the country from Guadeloupe to Laguna de Bay. II was a rainy morning, but the ducks at pateros liked il all the better for that, and our boys didn't seem to mind il in the least. They swept across the coun- try with irresistible force, and every thing cleared out of the country but the ducks of Pateros, and the boys were well pleased al that. Canned beef and vegetable soup. coffee, and rice are wholesome. but when it came to weigh ing such rations in the balance with canvas-backs or any other old duck, there was not q dissenting voice in the choice Pateros is the duck farm of Luzon.

BROKEN THINGS MADE NEW.
How Boston Girl is Earning Lots of Money by Patching Up
 Fragile Ware.

A Boston girl has begun the work of repairing precious pottery, glassware, porcelain and statuary. Last year she patched up S3UO,O0u worth of fragile ware, and she got nearly ten per cent on thc value of the goods redeemed. lt is said 10 have been more than the sal any of Mayor Quincy or Gov. Nolcott.
 This girl began by inducing large depari Ment house to allow her to re- pair. not only their own fine pottery and glassware. but 10 take orders from the customers of the house who brought heir broken ware there in the hope that there was some one in the es- lahiisl.upUt who could fiN it up. She w"~ au artist. to begin with, and in ad- driiun itc had a good deai of mechan- icai ingenuity. Later she got contract from aH art museum in Boston to do such work of this kind as the museum could supply. This includes many rare vases und other articles which are dug Gp ,u ojd world fields and which reach the mu>sum mass of a thousand frag- uents The little pieces are taken 70 thc studiu of the bric-abra surgeon, and there the artist t-mechartic spends hours. days and weeks in asserting the fragments and putting them together.

 Representation in the house of rep resentatives is reapportioned every ten years, based upon the official cen- sus returns.

INFLUENCE OF THE oUAKERs.

The Yearly Meeting Of the Friends has
recently been held in New York, and the
doctrines peculiar to them have attracted
more than usual attention from the secu-
lar journals by reason Of the recent wars
in which the United States has been en-
gagged. We find, therefore, an expansion
list and an anti-expansionist view of the
Quakers. The Springfield Republican rep
resents the latter. 1t says:
1T Is not good omen for the republic
that the society of Friends continues to
decrease in numbers, even in Philadel-
phia where il should still be strong. 1t
is, indeed, stin strong in that city and in
Baltimore In the personal representation
it has in every excellent cause, national
or local-in the moral strength it gives
through the men and women of the
meeting who are engaged in humanitarian
work. Note the membership and the OFF,
cial list of unpaid service in important
causes-of the red man, of the negro, of
public charities, of the publication of the
civil service; wherever there is even a
small body Of Friends, there viii be
found the Quaker element strongly In ev-
idence. The time has come for vigor-
Gus proselytization, like that of George
Fox, though adapted with Judgment and
prudence to the conditions of the day-to
renew and magnify the Quaker spirit.
which Is always in behalf of the finest
and nobiest life Now more than ever the
declaration against war should be en-
phasized."
Quite otherwise is the tone of comment
in the New York Sun. Quoting from one
of the speakers in the Yearly Meeting
who called attention to the answering
opposition of the Friends to war, The
/ sun asks whether they have ever exercis-
/ ed any influence on government anairs
and answers by an appeal to history.
