THE CARMEN GROUP
Sonora Mining Property In Which
 T. L. Davenport Is Interested

Mir, Thomas L. Davenport. a former resident of this city. but who has been engaged in mining in Mexico since the Spanish-American war is here for d short visit with friends and relatives. His many friends will be pleased to learn of his success in the mining busi- ness and will join in hoping that by the time he comes again he will be in a po- sion to open an office in Wall street. New York, if he wants to.
 He returned to Phoenix for a few days after the campaign in Cuba and then went to the famous Candelaria mine in Chihuahua, where he secured the position of general underground foreman. which he held for two years at a very pleasing salary.
 In the meantime he. D. B. Smith. the foreman. and NJ. F. Parker. the assist ant foreman of the Cadelaria and an old Jerome miner. bought the Carmen group of silver mines. near Grauados. Sonora. All three resigned their posi- tiCns with the Candelaria company and began the active development of the Carmen group. They organized a com pany with a capital stock of $500, eco under the laws of New Mexico and an other company for the same purpose under the laws of Mexico. One third of the stock was placed in the treasury to be sold for development purposes and the building of a mill. This occurred about a year ago and the work on the mine has made what it's owners be- Heve to be a bonanza. They have a shaft 225 feet deep on the property and tunnel that taps the shaft at that depth. Another tunnel is started that is expected to tap a ledge at the vertical depth of 50o feet. The ledge is four feet wide and the ore runs about seventy five ounces in silver to the ton. About 5000 tons of ore are now blocked out and it value has been thoroughly sam pied in lots of from one ton to thirty tons.
 They maintain a company store, have TO cloud on their title and no trouble with anybody in the world and the future looks bright for them. Since coming here Mir. Davenport has re- ceived word from one of his partners that he has disposed of about three quarters of the treasury stock and has purchased a combination silver stamp mill. which will be shipped in a few days from Fl Paso. They expect to hav.. the mill running in ninety days ana guarantee that within sixty days after the mill is started they will deliver 25.oO0 ounces of bullion ;n Fl Paso.
 There is an abundance Of wood and water at the mine, as it is situated in the edge of the pine timber. and there is an abundance of ash and other forecr trees close by.

FOUNDER sNYTHE PLEASED
Finds Especial Cause for Rejoicing
 In the Message.

San Diego. Cal. Dec. 4-wiIliam F. Smythe, founder and for several years the oficiSl head O. the national irriga- tion congress. comments as follows on that portion of President Roosevelt's message dealing with the water. forest and arid lands questions of the west:
 ''The presidents message will be joy fully received in every part Of the west. It marks the completion of the first stage of the national irrigation move ment. Exactly ten years after the first irrigation congress at Salt Lake. 1891. the cause finds a friend in the White house who presents it to the legislative branch Of the government as one of the great features of his adminlstra ton.
 ''The day of non-political agitation is over. The day for political action is come. From this time henceforth irri- Sation is to be a conspicuous issue in national politics. and l predict that in the west, particularly in California, 1t is to be the overshadowing issue in state politics.
 'The presidents specific recom- mendations are in line with the most enlightened public sentiment, including the views oi scientific men in the gov ernment service and universities.
 "EIis policy for forest protection is beyond criticism. II will save the tim Der and water supply for the use of the present and future generations. His policy for national storage works is marvelcusly sound. since it provides for the reclama ton Of the national domain without infringing upon the rights of the state. He wants the nation to store floods and reGula&e the flow of streams, but he wisely stopped there. He recog- nizes that the distribution of water is the function os the states, inseparable from their sovereignty. and still further and better. he sees that the existing water laws in most states must be re- formed before it will be safe for the nation to store their waters and mingle them with the common flood of the streams.
 otherwise existing rights would be imparilled and the public lands might be cheated of supplies intended for their use. Thus the national adminis- tration lends it's great influence to the cause of state reform which has been

Washington. Dec. 4-Practically the entire time of the senate today was de voted to the introduction of bills and resolutions. Two of these measures. relating to the suppression of anarchy and dealing with anarchists, were all lowed to lie on the table so that their authors. MT. McComas of Maryland and Mir. Vest of Missouri. may bring them to the early attention of the sen ate. The isthmian canal report was transmitted to the senate by the presi- dent and several bills providing for the construction of the water way. one of them by MT. Morgan of Ala bama, who has led the movement for the canal in the past. were presented
 The Vest resolution directs the judi ciary committee to inquire 1T congress has power to legislate for the punish ment of anarchists who assassinate or attempt to assassinate a president of the United States. and if not, whether it is expedient to amend the federal constitution to enable congress to so legislate.
 Also whether it is necessary or expe- dient to so amend the federal constitu . tion as to empower congress to prevent by such means as may be deemed nee essary the teaching by anarchists Of
  should be destroyed; also whether it is necessary or expedient so to amend the federal constitution that congress shall have power to punish ali persons belonging to anarchistic associa tiOns. also what amendment, if any, is neces- sary to the naturalization laws to pre- vent the coming f1tO tlsis -0uatr-- cf anarchists and their becoming citizens of the United States; also whether 1t is necessary or expedient to so amend the federal constitution as to give congress power to establish penal colony or some suitable island under the jurisdic- ton of the United States to which, after trial and conviction, every anar- chist holding the doctrine that all gov ernment should be destroyed by the assassination of their chief rulers shall be deported. and that the committee, after due examination and inquiry. shall recommend to the senate such amendments to the federal constitution as may be necessary 70 prevent the teaching and promulgation of anarchic- al doctrines in the United States.

RAILROAD PROBLEMS
Rates in the West and the Incre asing
 Car Famine.

New York, Dec. 4.-Representatives oi practically every railroad running west cut of Chicago. with the exception of the Great Northern, held a meeting today in this city. The business of the session was unusually brief. It was en- tirely routine and had to do chiefly with the maintaining of freight and passenger rates through the vast coun- try traversed by these roads.
 Perhaps the most serious problem which has presented itself to railroad men is the increasing car famine which at this time taxes the capacity of all the more important railroads. No con clusion was reached on this point, but it was suggested that it might be nee essary to make per diem charge in- stead of q mileage charge for the use of cars.

LOOK IT UP.
Perhaps Coffee Is the Cause of Yo-r
 Trouble


 Trouble.
 Eating or drinking the wrong akind of food or beverage vii set up disease if persisted in That is particularly true of the more starchy foods and coffee. The trouble may show in a variety Of different ways.
 It is safe to say that if one is ailing in any part of the body reached by the nervous system, it would be of ad- vantage to such an one to exchange coffee for PostUm Food Coffee, and quit much use of white bread and take on Grape-Nuts Breakfast Food.
 A New York mans experience is worth knowing. He says: "I was for a long time troubled with general weakness and loss of ambition with out Knowing the cause. Always after eating l would find myself practically helpless, and when I reached home at night would only find relief after din ner by throwing myself on the lounge and hardly speaking a dozen words to my family the entire evening, and. as a last resort. go bed
 ''I could look back to the days when I was athletic and full of ambition. but what made the change I could not figure out. I lost eighteen pounds of flesh and seemed to be entering d chronic state of i1validism.
 "One day my eye caught the arsu- ruent in one of the advertisements of Postum Food Coffee and it occurred to me that perhaps coffee was getting in it's work on me without my knowledge At any rate I must do something, so I quit drinking coffee altogether and took on Postum. and also began the use of Grape Nuts Breakfast Food. In . short time I began to enjoy life again. Found myself running up stairs two steps at a time and a general return of energy. ambition and strength not only regained my eighteen pounds. but put seven more on top of it. Now we always have Grape-Nuts and Postum each meal. The children drink the Food Coffee as well as wife and myself. and I will guarantee there is no healthier family in New York.-Phil- M.

The principal work is being done on the Columbia, and they are now down fifty feet in a big ore body that runs all the way from s1O to $40 per ton.
 The foot wall has been thoroughly exposed, showing a perfect Assure contact vein. A number of experts who have examined the property pro- nounce it the largest vein of that na- ture they have ever seen. Captain L. D. Phillips. the expert for Douglass Lacey x Co, examined the property before the development was hardly started, and his report agrees that it is an immense proposition. He com pares it to the Alaska TreadweIl and the South African mines which have become famous all over the wori= He says that if the indications are at all carried out. it is the largest gold mine he has ever looked at.
