suits.
Just here it is well to recall few
things along the line of injustice in
rates out of Ell Paso. Some time ago
the architect who bought the brick for
the Phelps-Dodge hotel in BiSbee came
here for the material. He found that
the brick were a great deal cheaper
than the same material in Los Angeles
but the freight was enormous. This,
he said was fixed by the Ell Paso Brick
compeny who. so he positively con-
tende. loaded the brick in Juarez and
shipped the INTO Bisbee at a very low
rate While no one here will confirm
the story the architect says the freight
from Ell Paso to Bisbee was $15 per
thousand and by loading them on the
Mexican Central tracks in Juarez they
were landed in Bisbee at 81 per thOlis
and. This deal made it possible for
the brick to be shipped from Ell PasO.
Mr.. Kindel says if this story can be
confirmed the shippers have a good
case against the railroads and can
make a winning by taking it before the
interstate commission.
The meeting this afternoon resulted
in arousing enthusiasm which promises
to result in lasting good.

Be sure and read the page adver-
tisement of the Orion Mining company
in this issue of the Herald. 1t is a
home company. largely composed of
our home people. and if you are not
already a stakeholder. you should be-
come one, at once: lending your mite
to the development of our unequaled
mining resources.
The Orion was the first mining COM
pany organized by our enterprising
business men and citizens some two
years ago. for the purpose of proving
that mining was both legitimate and
profitable. In the beginning they
counted on it taking three years to
find. prospect and prove up a paying
mine, and from the showing now made
it is quite evident that the stockhold-
ers will not be disappointed.

than it's citizens have yet dreamed of.
In speaking of mining and the Dun
dee. Mr.. Stewart said: while the
bank and its officers do not invest in
mines or mining stocks, we consider it
as legitimate and safe as any other
business when under competent eau
tiouS management.
Many of our patrons are stOckhold-
erS in the Orion and the Superior

shipping ore into Ell Paso during the
past year. and was interested in
seeing what these mines looked like
Il went down the shaft through the
levels and drifts, and along the cuts on
the Dundee vein in company with the
manager. Mr.. Clifford, and was sur
prised at the amount of work done
and the amount of ore in sight and on
the dumps. The vein is a bold one,
cropping out the entire length of the
claim. and the ore shipped and piled
upon the dumps is the convincing evil
dence of what the vein can produce.

business like manner. and the showing
gives proof that the Dundee has the
making of valuable paying property
If the company keep up their present
development work. and the price of
copper keeps up, the stock holdes in
my opinion will make a satisfactory
profit on their investment all of which
will rebound to Ell Paso's good.
II walked over the vein a distance

both mines will in time prove to J.,

A DARING ENGINEER.

Since both the G.. II. a. 5. A. and the
r K =. companies have put on their
new swift and powerful passenger en-
zines there has been considerable rec
ord breaking done on both roads, but
IL is not the intention of the engine
drivers of either road to enter upon a
contest for swift records. The cause
of the iasts runs has always been the
desire of the engineer to make up lost
time
Joe Simino is a member of the b. of

the firemen are proud of him. When
ever Joe makes a good run. and that
is pretty often since the new engines
have been put on the road, the fire
men are greatly pleased.
