COPPER IS THE METAL.
The Cochise Copper Mining Company,
 Bisbee, Arizona.


 This company owns very valuable group of mines situated in Warren mining district, county of Cochise, Arizona, lying immediately east of and adjoining the town of Bisbee and ad- joining the property of the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining company on the north. The latter company has been in operation for about lwen.y years, and employs about 1,500 men daily in the operation of it's mammoth mine and smelters, and as a result has produced copper to over 34,00O, 900 pounds during the year 1898. and the net proceeds of such production are reported to have been over S2,OOO, ,OOo. and 1t has been said by experienced miners who have been under it's em. ploy for years, that the Queen rnina now has sufficient ore in sight to keep it in constant operation for the next twenty years without further de- velopment.
 Is it not reasonable to believe that the property of the Cochise company is fully as valuable, when it is within such close proximity to such won- derful mine?
 The blasts set off in the underground workings of the Queen property can easily be felt and heard at the shaft of our mine, and oftimes the concussion has attracted marked attention. ( The original owners of these valu- able mines are local business men, we'll and favorably known in Bisbee and surrounding vicinity, who are doing their utmost to make this enterpl .se success in every respect. The board c. directors are original owners, and are donating their services to the com pany until such time as the mine will pay dividends. They own the con- trolling interest in this property, and as a protection to stockholders have placed their entire interest in escrow for term of one year.
 The stock books of our company are now open for subscriptions, and linn ited number of shares are offered at twenty-fv c. per share. No application for, less than 100 shares will be ac- cepted.
 The company reserve the right at any time to advance the price of shares without further notice, or to reject any application for stock at their discre- tion.
 Every cent received from the sale of stock will be expended toward the de- velopment of our property and the erection of hoisting works, and all other necessary improvements, and to make our enterprise success in every particular.
 We invite investigators and their experts or their engineers to closely scrutinize our property.
 Applications for shares may be made to any of the directors of the com- pany, or to any of our legally author ized representatives

SINCE tho anthropology branch of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. comprising between 100 and 300 learned men from all parts of the country, and reprsnting practically all the universi- ties and colleges of note. met in New Haven, Connecticut, and discussed the question of college girls measurements. Dr. Jay w, Sea yer, of Yale Gymnasium, leading the discus sion, there has been Q considerable amount of aniInosity between the east and the west. Dr. Sq9yer said that his researches have demonstrated to his mind that there arc two distinct types of American college girl--that of the eastern having greater height and 'cutter" build of head, and that of the west having . much greater girth of chest and larger lung capacity, with @ schooner build of cranium. The learned doctor ac- counted for the differences upon the theory that the schooner" heads were due te the predominance of Teuton blood in the west. The advancement of this theory on the part of the Yale professor aroused the western
 professors who took part in the discnssion, and they strongly resented 1t, insisting that the real Teuton head was to be found in Bos- ton, and that the westsr was what they preferred to call an Alpine type. The girl question is one that stumps most men. but anthropometry experts fear nothing. They may discover, however, before the discuss sion ends, that "schooners" can sail into and sink cutters" any day in the year.-El Paso Herald.

THURSDAY. JANUARY II, 1900:
OPINION OF THE WEST.

Towering above all other propositions at eissue Is the scheme of establishing federal reservoirs in the arid west. The torrential waters of spring time, If stored for summer use. would redeem millions of acres of highly fertile land that Is now desert and barren simply for lack of water.
 For @ number of years the irrigationists of the west have reen considering the ques- tion. and after full discussion through the press and otherwise 1t has been decided to ask the general government to take hold of the matter. as 1t Is too big an enterprise for private capital to handle. Of course there are yet choice locations. such as the Hudson reservoir. and others of like nature, that might proftably be built by corporate capi- tai, provided the lands under such reservoir agree to guarantee the builders. But these exceptions are rare, and at best only small area of the vast irrigable public domain would ever be reclaimed as Q private busi- ness proposition. The government being owner of the lands, which are now of no value, can make such lands marketable by supplying water for irrigation, When the lands are sold to settlers the government will be fully reimbursed. Besides homes will then have been furnished for millions of people and wealth will have been added to the nation. Itwouid be equivalent to an nexing that much of the most fertile plains In the world to our countrS. few petty politicians and financial jugglers continue to advocate cession of these lands to the states and territories. Arizona could not redeam these lands. They would be jobbed out to big syndicates and the public would be- the loserd ' Phoenix Enterprise. eexy.,

DIsPArcHEs from Havana state that among the many reforms which General Wood pro- poses to institute in the island is a thorough overlooking and reform of the prison sys- tem. It ,is hardly necessary to say that the field for reform in this regard Is large and inviting one. The prison "system" In Cuba has for long period of years-so long. in deed, that the memory of man runneth not to the contrary-been a blot upon civiliza- ton and black reproach to the nation that has been respohsihle all these years for the terrible abuses that have been pepctrated and perpetuated.

REyRRRINa to the Roberts matter, the PittsbufgA Post suggests that the power of the house to expel Roberts by Q constitu-; tional vote Is without limitation. Hecould be turned out for having red hair or cross eye as well as for having an over-supply of wives, But this power is guarded and re- stricted by the fact that the constitution says that he can be expelled only by two- thirds vote. If there was contest the ''other fellow" could bevotsd in and Roberts voted out by majority of quorum.

ant distinct warts; gills which are al.
ways white, and a hollow stalk with a
large ring and a prominent bulb at the
base, whose upper margin Is membra.
nous or baglike. Other minor points OF
difference are the different places In
which these species grow, and also the
cOlors, which. although they vary In
each case, are brilliant yellow or red In
the Hy agarlc, white, varying to pale
olive. in the deadly agaric, and white,
usually tinged with u little brown, in
the mushroom.
"A word should be said as TO the size
and proportion Of the pllcus and stalk
In these three species. In the mush.
room the pllcus averages from three to
four inches In breadth ana the stalk Is
generally shorter than the breadth OF
the pllcus and comparatively stout. The
plleus remains convex for Il long time,
and does not become quite iat-topped
until quite old. The substance Is firm
and solid. In the fly agarlc the plleus,
at first oval and convex, soon becomes
nat and atta!ns breadth of six 10
eight inches and sometimes more. The
stalk has a length equal 10 or slightly
exceeding the breadth Of the plleus and
is comparatively sleadcrcr than in the
common mushroom, but nevertheless
quite stout, The substance is less firm
than In the common mushroom.
The pIleus Of the deadly agarlc IL
thinner than that of the common mush-
room, and, from being rather bell.
shaped when young, becomes gradually
hat.topped, with the center little
raised. In breadth It Is intermediary
between the two preceding species. The
stalk usually is longer than the breadth
OF the plleus, and the habit Is slenderer
than In the two preceding species. All
three species are pleasant TO the taste.
which shows that one cannot infer that
a species Is not poisonous because the
taste Il agreeable, The fly agaric has
scarcely any odor. The other two spe.
Giles have certain odors of their own
hut they cannot be described"
While there are over 100 varieties Of
mushrooms and toadstoo!s which may
be eaten there Is no general rule for
their Identification, and each must be
learned as a species. The gatherer may
safeguard himself 10 some extent by
avoiding all varieties that give ont au
unpleasant OdOr, those which are tough
or In q state Of decomposition, and by
examining tho !usldcs 10 see that they
are free from grubs ana the larvae OF
HES and beetles.
