Sorenson Reports from Black Bay.

The following is an extract from an
letter received by the dir
ectors of the Black Bay Mining Co.,
from Mine Manager Sorenson:
Fort William, May II, 1908.
To the Directors of the Black Bay
Mining Co.
Gentlemen:-Will send in nv reg
ular report now. This is the first
chance I have had, as the ice has been
out of the bay only a few days. We
have the steamboat and have built q
wharf for it, so that it will be safe in
case of storm. We have also COM
pleted the fixing up on the shaft and
have it in good working order, so now
we can 90 ahead sinking without anv
delay. We are down 100 feet. There
was about ten feet of that layer with
copper, then it run out and we got
into kind of dark-looking rock.
We have about twelve feet of that, but
the last lift shows a different kind a.
gain-it is getting red. I think we will
run into another layer of copper, at
least the rock shows favorable.
In regard to signaling US from the
other shore, don't think you can do
it, as it is impossible to see signal
across the bay; and next, it will be
impossible for any of you to find the
any of you are coming up here, it will
know when you are coming. Then I
can come in with the boat and take
you out. Will try to be in town every
Sunday or Monday if the weather will
allow it, so you can always drop me
inquire at the Windsor Hotel, where
you will always find out when I viii
be in. Best regards to you all.
Respectfully,
MABTIN SORENSON.
This is the way the reporter of our
contemporary made the report ridicu-
lously appear in an item in last weeks
issue, and Manager Rigg of the Will
mar Office, as we'll as the other direct
ors, naturally take exceptions to it:
IA ten foot layer of blue clay has
been passed and the drills are working
in another Of red clay and sand. Min
ing experts aho have been on the scene
predicted this some time ago and
stated that as soon IS this last layer
is passed, good copper veins may be

aged over the reports being cent by Mr..

The Sun: Is It Heaven?

The planets are human hatcheries. and the suns the places of their ma turity and perfection. The worlds are God human nurseries. and the suns his perennial orchards of eternal life and fruition. I believe that souls are born in this world, that this is their first theater of action, and where they take on the habiliments of earth-dust or star-dust, for all things originally came from the sun and will finally re- turn to the sun. The seed that is planted here will ripen in the brighter realms of the sun In other words, the earth and planets are the birth places and nurseries of human souls. They have their origin in the divine miracle of earth life they are the prod uct of planetary forces. Mans body is the visible manifestation of invisible atoms and forces, woven around an invisible. spiritual body. And when the visible manifestations drop away into their invisible clements, the soul asserts its eternal energy and scars away to the central source of all light and life.-G. w. Warder in Booklovers Magazine.

stantIy acknowledged without question as men who can have no petty personal interests nor any kind of political in terest to promote in connection with the university-men clearly representa- tive of the highest citizenship of the territory. The appointment of a new board can in no sense be construed as refiecting in any way on the present board of regents. Through various pro- cesses a situation has been developed which calls for new official force throughout. The incidents which have emphasized this situation have been, in a general way, wretchedly insignificant in themselves, and this is one of the matter. The bickerings. jealousies and scraps" are too much of the back woods district school order. As a nat ural consequence the reputation of the university has suffered all over Arizona The most valuab asset of the univer- sity-in reality the only asset of value is public confidence. So long as confi- dence is impaired the institution cannot be made a success by the most lavish use of money. And it is unquestionable that in extricating the university from the unpleasant atmosphere that has surrounded it for some time the gov ernor will find it much easier to place the institution on a high plane if he can assure the people that there has been a clean sweep in the official staff. We take it for granted that the gen. tlemen of the present board have re- lieved the governor of all embarrass- ment by placing their rcsignations in his hands. 10 be acted on at his pleas ure

SOME CURIOUS WALLS.
Girard College Has One That Is Half;

"That story you told the other day about Girard college" said a reader of Whirl of the World today, reminds me of couple of other curious facts about the college that are not generally known. For instance, how high would you say the wall is?''
 About ten feet" was the reply
 Well. it isn't; it's twenty. Don't believe it. eh? Neither did l until a gentleman whom I know and who was living when the wall was built. told me different. He said that Cir ards will called for a twenty-foot wall and it had to be built that height. But the executors thought it a ridiculous idea and got around the provision by constructing a twenty-foot wall, but putting half of it under ground. No, I never dug down to verify the story but believe it.
 And did you ever notice that round black stone in the wall near North College avenue? Well that marks the spot where a mail robber named Perry was hanged in tn early part of the last century. In those days robbing the mail was a capital offense, and was was rarely indulged in. This case. believe. was the last of that punish ment for robbery. and it attracted SC much attention that the spot was marked. And later, when the wall was built. the round black stone was in- serted to take the place of the mark that was removed. d.'-Philadelphia Tel egraph.

"A foreigner travelling in Japan who chances to see a man tumble off 6 house in Tokio comes back to his own country and writes. Those Japanese have some queer customs. For in stance. when a man wishes to descend from the roof of his house he falls off instead of using a ladder"
 An Englishman who has resided for many years in Japan made the above terse comment after he had read a number of books on Japan written by foreigners, presumably after they had spent q few weeks ir that country. Az thur Chapman in the September Read CT las much the same complaint to make against writers who affect to give vivid picture of the west. Tt is by no means an uncommon thing for writers of western novels and short stories 70 display dense ignorance of the part of the country from which they draw their local color.' says MT. Chapman 'Th:s IS due to the .act that they have not hved the life. for. de- spite tha asse Iion that inc outsider gets the Lest view of aIy community, no writer can master the vests pecu- liarities in one season, nor in many seasons"
 But 1t is not in short stories and novels, merely. that writers of the west create q false impression. They frequently make the same mistake when endeavoring to give a truthful picture of the Middle West. Many people will recall the astounding asser- tion made by a writer who dwells in the east, but who. after q lengthy visit in the middle west. enieavored to convey the impression he received dur ing that visit. In regard to the social life of the cities he generalized some what in this fashion: There are no severe social lines drawn in the middle west. Hospitality is offered on a large scale. The newcomer is received with open arms and every courtesy shown him. This is only withdrawn when he proves himself undeserving.

CURRENT COMMENT
The Nations Waste Places.

The states and territories entitled to
 irrigation money from the separate
 sales of their own lands are Arizona,
 California. Colorado, Idaho. Kansas.
 Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New
 Mexico, North Dakota, Utah. Washing
 ton and Wyoming. Last year, after
 full consideration of the problem. the
 federal government decided to build
 what are known as the Sweetwater dam and the St. Mary system of canals in Montana, the Gunnison tunnel irri-
 gation works in Colorado, the Truckee
 system in Nevada and the Salt river
 dam in Arizona, the aggregate cost of which five enterprises is estimated at ten million dollars. It is a substantial sum, but small indeed in comparison with the amounts that have regularly
 been expended on river and harbor inn provements, and it promises to be a better investment. Land where these
 works have been undertaken was in it's natural state practically worthless eX-
 cept for grazing and brought not more
 than dollar an acre. while some DOT
 tions of it that have now been supplied with water sell for fifty dollars an
 acre and upward.
 The accepted estimate is that on an average an acre of irrigted land will support one person. Altogether there are about six hundred million acres in the country that need only irrigation
 to make them cultivable, and engineer ing Investigations have disclosed enough water running to waste in those arid and semi-arid regions every year to irrigate seventy-five million | acres. It needs but a few such figures
 as this to convince anyone that the work which the government, with local | cooperation. has now entered upon is ! in economic importance one of the very | greatest public wrks ever undertaken
 under federal authority. At the be- | ginning of la-st year the secretary of | the interior indicated in these words the
 part that the National government pro- posed to take: Water should be | brought to the point where the settlers
 can. with their own labor or by CO., | operation, construct ditches and later
 als to reclaim the desert land With
 the requirements of actual settlement
 and cultivation. to be followed by the 1 payment of the cost of storing water | the speculative element will be elim- mated leaving the ground free to bona
 fide settlers" This policy may now be
 said to have been fully inaugurated, ! and its continuation, which is prac-

Hob Law Prevented.

The governor of Georgia by prompt action aided by a courageous sheriff, last week prevented the lynching of a negro who was charged with an at tempt to assault a woman. There was doubt as to the guilt of the accused, but the mob sought to kill him, just the same. There was no allegation that he had committed "the crime that provokes lynching," but merely that he was suspected of hay ing contemplated the assault. The sheriff informed the mob that there would be no lynching unless he was first killed. and further that any man who made an assault on the jail might as well make arrangements for his funeral expenses in advance" Then the governor, who had been informed of the situation, called out a company of militiamen and the lynching was postponed.
 Action of this sort Is better for the moral health of the community than if the sheriff and the governor had permitted lIle IlOD to nave HaO it's say. There seems to be a. growing respect in the south for the orderly processes of the court. and there is certainly more of a disposition there to prevent mob law than has prevailed for many years.
 No state can be governed by two systems Of laws-one enforced by the mob and one by the duly chosen off, cers of the state and governed by the acts of the legislature. So long as there are statutory provisions for the trial and punishment of criminals these laws should be recognized. If any legislature sees fit to provide that cer tain offenders shall be killed by mobs then such executions would become legal. As the situation stands now no state provides for lynch law. And it is well tEat it is so.

A Veterans Eloquence.

The local Grand Army post held a picnic in Capt. Reuben Smiths grove near OSawatomie the other day. The address of welcome was given by Capt. Smith-old. feeble. close to the end of life, but as strong mentally as ever. To most it will appear as q model of kindly, noble and patriotic oratory, and we quote its concluding sentences as follows:
 Next to my own kith and kindred, my fondest memories and most cheer ful recollections are of you and of Miami county, because it was here met and married my first love, and here in log cabin, without floor or window, my first-born child saw the light of day. Here some of my child Ten and others who were near and dear to me lie buried, and here at no distant day my dust will mingle with theirs. Here in the away dim, distant past I shared with some of you your poverty and your toll and in after days when fortune smiled upon us all, l shared with you prosperity. In time of peace you took me from the corn field and the blow and placed me in positions Of trust and honor. And, in turn. in time of the late war of the rebellion, when you were poorly fed, thinly clad, the ground for your beds and the sky for your covering, I shared with some of you the hardships and privations of the march and the dangers of the battle field.
 "The friendship thus formed amidst trials and trumphs in time of peace, and the comradeship thus cemented in time of war, can never be obliterat ted by time and can only be severed by death. And so long as God gives me health and strength to attend the gath erings of my old comrades in arms I will be with you. And when at last my eyes grow dim and my tongue shall cease to speak then I will breathe prayer to heaven, and that prayer shall be that God will bless you all while you live and place you in the front rank Of heaven when you die.

 It is still impossible 10 estimate properly the tremendous importance of the policy which the government adopt ed when the national reclamation act was passed. A direct impetus was given to the prosperity of the west which will be felt for decades to come, and one of the incidental results will be awakened interest throughout the country in the merits of irrigs tion. The government may never build dams in the states where the rainfall IS or
 dinarily sufficient to raise So tisfa ctory crops. but private enterprise will not neglect the opportunities which will be made plain by object lessons in the arid regions. As MT Mead intimates. the whole industry is in it's merest infancy.
