Senator Mason's Story.

Senator Mason tells story on ex- State Senator Dave Littler, the vet eran Sangamon county republican leader, which, if it is not new, has the merit of being good, According to the junior solon, one of Littler's coun- try friends who resided in a neigh boring district became a candidate for doorkeeper at the capitol during the session of the legislature, and ap- piled to him for a letter of recom- mendation. The state senator was a busy man in those days and became annoyed, He said he had something better to do than to write letters for every man in his part of the state. His petitioner threatened him with political vengeance, and Littler ad- vised him, in good down-Egypt Eng fish, to seek warm climate.
 Not long after the former candidate for doorkeeper sought higher honor at the hands of his party and was elected to the legislature from his district. That was the year Littler aspired to the United States senator ship. He wrote to his friend in the neighboring district asking him to support his candidacy for the sake of old times. He began the letter with Dear Bill" and signed himself Dave" Bill was illiterate but origi- nal. He obtained pen and paper and laboriously penned the following:
 Deer Dave: I ast you to back me for doorkeeper and you tol me to go to hel. I dident-you kin. Yours truly, Bill.

Galveston Herself Again.

The Galveston News of September contains a synopsis of the commerce year just closed and shows in spite of the unprecedented hurricane of last September that business is being con- ducted on greater scale than ever before. Galveston's total cotton re- ceipts for 19OO-l9O1 were 2,177,9S3 bales, compared with 1,710,263 bales for 1899-1900. Galveston's bank clearings for the year just closed amounted to S260, ,359, 900, compared with S339, ,624 $50 for the preceding year.
 During the season of 19OO-190l the total coastwise and foreign exports from Galveston were valued at S246,- 567 PAT, as compared with S2lS, 1884, : 512 for the previous season.
 In presenting its annual trade edi- ton covering the trade of the port of Galveston for the year just closed, the Galveston News says:
 The features of the year were the recuperation of the port from the great storm and the advent of fuel and oil. What the use of oil as fuel will lead to in the south is yet too early definitely to state. Galveston should be able to obtain oil at as low rates as any other city can secure it The railroads and the larger coal con consuming industries are beginning the use of oil for fuel.
 Galveston handles one-ffth of the exports of the whole United States, but only 1-240th of the imports of the country.
 More than one-fourth of the cotton crop of the country passed through the port during the past season were valued at S101 ,S31.7 The total i'm ports were valued at S957 ,069.
 The Texas cotton crop for the sea- son just closes was S3,4S4, ,832 bales, compared with 2,422,674 bales for the previous season, an increase of 1862, 158 bales.
 The Southern Pacific improvements completed and agreed upon for imme- diate construction represent an out lay of S2,00O,OOO. Of this amount Sl ,OOO,O O,OOOhas been expended in labor, material and ground.
 The wharf front of the Galveston Wharf company now includes three grain elevators, with combined stor- age capacity of 2,s50,OOO. This com pany has a wharf frontage of five and one-tenth miles and a wharf floor space of practically forty-five acres, all under sheds.

Enjoying the Prosperity.

Surely the Los Angeles Herald is enjoying its share of the general pros- perity, judging from the way it is be- ing improved and enlarged from time to time.
 The Herald, as a newspaper, ranks with the best in the whole country, and every Sunday is issues 6 mags- zine which is a marvel of excellence. For five cents person can get more good reading in the Sunday Herald than can be found in ony other publi- cation for twice the money.
 The Sunday Herald is also doing a grand work for Southern California and the whole southwest through the publication of illustrated write-ups of the principal industries and the points of interest.

The Presidents Dog.

A little incident which somebody
 about the White House witnessed the
 other day is significant both as an H.
 lustration of certain traits in the char acter of President Roosevelt and as an example for his admirers. There
 has been an impression among cer- tain of his critics that he believed "the strenuous life" to consist chiefly in hunting and killing animals; but though mighty hunter, he is not merely nimrod, as the following occurrence shows:
 It was rainy, dreary day, soon after Mir. Roosevelt's return to Wash ington and after a busy morning, the president and his secretary started out for walk. Just outside the door lay a homeless, friendless dog, as close to the wall as he could get, his body curled up into the smallest pos sible bunch to avoid the rain and possible observation. As the two men emerged from the door he looked up apprehensively to see if a kick or a stern ''be of with you, now," would compel him to beat a rapid retreat. But nothing of the sort occurred. Mir. Roosevelt's expressive face took on a pitying and kindly look and, bending down, he stroked the ami malls head and pulled him gently by the ears.
 Poor doggie, haven't you any mas teri" he enquired. Then he went back into the house, and the dog, with understanding of the situ- ation, trotted close to his heels. The president ordered that the waif should be taken to the kitchen and given good meal; and it is said that that dog will be the dog of the White House during this administration.
 MT. Roosevelt is not one of those sportsmen who are satisfied with pop ping away at tame pigeons. When he goes hunting he wants the excite nent of killing a dangerous wild beast. It will be good thing for his ooy admirers to remember that the nan who led the charge at San Juan Hill was quite as ready to befriend a | homeless cur as to hunt cougars or yrizZlies.

Shannon Copper Company.

A Boston telegram says: William
 B Thompson, director in the Shan
 non Copper company. states that a conveyance has been made by the Arizona Copper company of the Black
 Hawk, White Hawk and nine other claims, to the Shannon Copper com pany, for a consideration involving nearly million dollars. Aside from their intrinsic value, the proximity of these claims to the Shannon proper ties, makes their acquisition very de- sirable.
 In the passing of the deeds, an agreement was entered into between the two companies, whereby the ore within the side and end lines of their property carried down vertically through the surface, belong to the company owning the surface; thus agreeing that the common law rule, which gives the owner of the surface the possession of the minerals beneath the sarface of his land, shall apply to their respective claims. This agree ment obviates the possibility of any friction over the apex law which has caused so much litigation in Mon tana.
 The company has just finished three miles of railroad at the smelter, and their 50O-ton reduction plant will be in operation by January l. A 5O0-ton concentrator will be com pleted early next year.
 With the smelter running the com pany expects to produce 100000 pounds of copper per month, and with the completion of the concentra- tor this will be increased to over l ,6OO,OO0 pounds per month. The company then expects to be in posi- ton to earn not less than $500, 900 per year, with copper at 12 cents in New York. With copper at the present prices, the earnings of course, will be more than doubled.

OUTLAWS AGAIN.
They Kill Maxwell of Sheriff's Posse and Dangerously Wound Tafoya,
 of Mossman's Rangers.

A letter from Hon. John T. Hogue of St. Johns, under date of Oct. 10th, has the following about recent bat tie with the lawbreakers: "Sheriff's posse, accompanied by two of Capt. Mossman's rangers, had a serious fight down in the Black river country on the Sth inst. Maxwell, of the sheriff's posse, killed and Tafoya, of the rangers dangerously wounded. ;" We are unable to learn further par ticulars at this time.
 Several of the territorial papers have scoffed at the idea of Arizona needing a company of rangers. We need them, and will need them until the law-breaking element are cleaned out, or made to cease their murderous work and live like civilized people, Holbrook Argus.

Rock Island Road.

The Rock Island survey corps may be expected to arrive here soon. They are now between Gila Bend and Yuma, and are said to be following the old Tom Scott railroad survey. This line comes up the Gila, through Florence, and on mp the Gila canyon into the Graham valley. At the time the Southern Pacific was built through Arizona the Tom Scott rail road land grant was still alive and covered each alternate section of land for twenty miles on each side of the proposed railroad line. This forced the Southern Pacific to build across the desert instead of coming up the fertile Gila valley. They had to keep on the outside of the Scott land grant. We have often heard people ask why the Southern Pacific company avoided the rich Gila valley and ran their line across the unin- viting desert. The statement above answers the question. - Florence Blade.

WHY OIL AND MINING STOCKS ARE OFFERED TO THE GENERAL
 PUBLIC.

In answer to various queries as to
 why it is necessary to offer stock in
 good oil companies to the general
 public, the secretary of one of the
 best and most substantial oil com
 panies in California has published
 the following lucid explanation with
 cognent reasons in its latest report:
 "Why is it necessary to offer any
 promising mining stock for general
 subscriptioni Why do not local capi-
 talists secure the entire issue if it
 promises such large profits, and why
 is it the company is willing to dispose
 of any interest in a valuable prop
 ertyi These are common questions
 familiar to every one dealing in min ing investments. They seem reason able on their face, yet they are in fact extremely unreasonable and illogical.
 "Would you ask your grocer, when he advises you to buy sugar or four in anticipation of an advance, why he did not hold it himself and make the profit Would you ask your coal dealer when he recommends you to lay in your winter supply in summer, because it is cheaper, why he does not buy it himself and sell it later at higher pricei Hardly, for the very good and sufficient reason that proba- ply neither would have sufficient capital for the purpose, and if the ad- vice were not acted upon neither party would be benefited.
 Mining stocks are offered to gen eral investors because no one man has sufficient capital to operate the prop erty, however valuable the property may be. Only few months ago the British Government, came to New York City to raise S50,OOO,0OO. The bonds are a good investment, yet the government came here for money. The bonds of a prosperous town or city may be gilt edged, yet they are placed in outside money markets. The Pennsylvania railroad is an ex- cellent investment, yet not one-ffth of it's stock is owned in Pennsylvania. The New York Central and Hudson River railroad securities are as staple IS government bonds, yet the recent inventory of the estate of Cornelius Vanderbilt showed that he owned less han one-fiftieth of its stock.
 Standard Oil stock is selling at nearly $500 per share on the curb. t is not even a listed security, yet ,aid 2S per cent dividends this year, John D. Rockefeller owns less than me third of the stock of the company ( hat he originated.
 Some one must have sold stock in he inception of these companies, and he thousands of investors made the ( ,reatest share of their profits by be- oming purchasers. Nothing of mag litude in local enterprises ever proves
 success without the aid of outside I apital. It is the history of most 'reat and successful companies, in ( mining especially, that the combina- ion of the investments of the many as universally created the profits 2 nd rendered possible great enter s rises. Without this division of in crest through the medium of capi- slization there would have been no reat mining successes that produce early one-third of the annual wealth q our country.-Mining and Engi- eering Review.

DISGRUNTLED.
Men Who Manufacture Misery.

The disgruntled man, the man who is sulky and dissatisfied under all condi- tions and circumstances, is to be found everywhere. Even at the sea side where he has gone for rest and recreation you'll find him surly and sulky, grum- bling at the weather, the people, the hotel accommodations, the board, and everything else. His scowling, sullen visage checks the flow of talk at the table, and hushes the prattle of playing children. Now and again one gossip says to another vThe old chaps liver must be out of order" Somebody else says, vPerhaps he's suffering from kid ney trouble" And majority incline to the opinion that it's vjust dyspepsia" And as 1t happens they are all of them
