great destruction Of the late compos-
ers private papers. There had lain in

the Journal Of Lincoln told this thrill
ing tale the other day: "A genuine
tornado tore things up in lively way
between Juniata and Hastings late this
afternoon. While Burlington freight
train was coming Into Hastings from
,Juniata the wind picked up large
barn and carried 1t straight toward
the train for distance of over. 1Oa
yards. The engineer. saw his peril, put
on full steam, and an exciting race fol.
lowed, but the wind changed its course
before reaching the track. People OF
Hastings saw the approach of the
twister and sought places Of safety
The barn was torn into kindline

lature, recently adjourned. but failed
Of passage. Its purpose was to oblige
all saloon-keepers to sell tea, coffee.
milk and chocolate as well as intoxi-

ed it was that many men who seek
the saloons for warmth and light and
sociability. and drink from seuse Of
obligation, would be content with tenn
perance beverages, and perhaps prefer
them, If they were to be had. The op-
ponents Of the bill argued that the sa-
loon-keepeers might, easily defeat it's
purpose II they wished by serving tea
and coffee Of so poor quality that no
one would drink it; but plan similar
to that provided for in the bill has been
tried in certain saloons in England

of those days thought it necessary to patent their property, and when the ran out of funds-as compa- nies are apt to do occasionally-and failed to do their assessment work, the property was relocated with all of it's Improvements by some enterprising prospectOr, or reverted back to the government. Had the mines been pat ented, the stock holder would have been protected, and had he kept his stock until the present tune it would in many instances be valuable. Many stockholders do not care whether the property is patented or not. They do not realize the importance of patent They expect that their stock will dou- ble in value two or three times the first year and will soon be paying divi- dends, because the prospectus issued by the company leads them to believe that it will.
 The Era will venture the assertion that there ia not one prospectus out of a dozen that states whether or not the property described in such glowing terms is patented or not, Investors should beware of such prospectus, as they are entitled to all information in regard to the property, and the com pany's title thereto. In nine cases out of ten these frauds-for such they are are perpetrated by non-residents of the territory, yet Arizona must bear the odium of such rascally transac- tions while the smooth aslerner gets away with the ''swag. ."-Era.

FOR BETTER MAIL SERVICE.

We give considerable space to mat ters relating to the mail contracts on star routes and the proposed free deliv cry of mail between pOstoffices along tlese routes. The department has wisely decided to make a radical change in the policy of letting con tracts for carrying the mails on star routes, and will require hereafter that contractors must reside on or contigu- ous to the route awarded to them. This should effect a marked improve. Arizona, which has been very unsatis- factory, owing chiefly to the fact that contracts have in most instances been awarded to persons living at a distance from the routes on which they bid, knew little of the local conditions, and sublet contracts to others at figures so low that the requirements of the serv- ice could not be met without loss to actual carrier of the mail. While the change contemplated by the depart ment will likely increase the cost of service to the government, yet it will undoubtedly prove of very great beus it to the people who depend upon star route service for their nnil.
 Equally important Is the plan for the direct delivery of mail to persons re siding between .ostoflices along star routes, full particulars of which are given in the departments circular pub lished elsewhere in these columns All that Is required of patrons is that they provide mail boxes to be placed at points along the route convenient to their homes, where the carrier will de, posit their mail, thus saving them trip of perhaps several miles to the nearest postofiice.
 If these plans for the betterment of the service on star routs are faithfully carried out, the chiefcauses of dissatis- faction among patrons will have been removed.

COPPER STOCKS WEAK.
The War Between the Amslg amated Company
 and heinle Interests.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2l.-Renewed weakness in Amalgamated copper stock today was said to be due to the reports that the Standard Oil inter ests were again reducing their hold. ings materially and that the demand for copper was not keeping pace with the production. The old sores be tween the Amalgamated Copper com pany and the Heinzes were again ex- posed but there is feeling in some quarters that before long something will happen which will show that the conflicting interests are not as far apart as many have supposed.
 So far, however, relations between the blg company and it's Montana rivals do not appear to be tranquil As far a> can be learned no progress has bern made toward reconciliation of the Amalgamated and Heinze in tereSts. Judging from appeardiicc and the statement of Mir. Heinze hin- self they are farther apart than ever. Suits to the number Of 120 are still pending. Litigation is assuming d wider and more complicated range. More than SJ0, 0,O00,O ,O0O, it is said, is now tied up as the result of the war
 No proposition has recently been made by the HeinzeS to sell their properties. The Amalgamated com. piny has not offered tO buy out it's rivals. F. A. HeinZe renews his declaration that he will ultimately get his price for his properties, and the company answers that so long a
 he wants three dollars for one the company will never pay the three. Still, it is known that the rival in terests really desire a cessation of hos tiIities.
 Arthur P. Heinze today declared that the big decline in copper was not due to any fear of reduction in the price of the product, but was the natural result of over-capitalization and the selling out of men whose financial eminence had kept the stock up to an unwarrantably high price. He also declared that Mr. Lawson, reported loss of s7,0O0,00O during the recent break was well understood by operators and by the street generally.

The Arizona mining number of the Los Angeles Times is creditable as far Bs 1t goes, but it IS far from complete. A perusal of its columns gives the i'm pression that only those companies which paid liberally for writeups re- ceived generous mention, and many important mines and districts have been slighted or ignored. Globe is in the latter class, which was not strange, in view of the fact that the Times was boycotted by the local miners union.

IMPORTANCE OF PATENT.
lt Hords Protection to Those Who Invest in
 Mines.

Almost every day the Era is in re- ceipt of letters from eastern stockhold- CTS of Arizona mining companies, many of which have been abandoned years ago and cannot now be located. In some instances these companies did not file their articles of incorporation with the secretary, hence there is no way to trace them up except by the name of the secretary and president, who in most cases were non-residents. Such stock is usually absolutely worthless, unless issued upon patented mines.

summer shirt waists so that they Will
look like new 1t is needful to have
them starched evenly with Defiance
starch, then made perfectly smooth
and rolled tight In a damp cloth, to be
laid away two or three hours. When
ironing have a bowl of water and a
clean piece of muslin beside the IRON
ing board. Have your iron hot, but
not sufficiently so to scorch, and abso-
lutely clean. Begin by ironing the
back, then the front, sides and the
sleeves, followed by the neckband and
the cuffs. When wrinkles appear ap-
ply the damp cloth and remove them.
Always iron from the top of the waist
to the bottom. II there are plaits In
the front iron them downward, after
first raising each one with blunt
