The heat was furnished from charcoal, burned from mesquite timber. which was then plentiful along the river and in the surrounding valleys. Chase creek not supplying abundance of water. the Leszyuskys moved their smelter to the river at the mouth of Chase creek, the present location of the great reduction plant of the Ari zona Copper company, The copper ore being free smelting, required poth- ing but fuel and blast The copper was. hauled by bull teams to La Junta. six, hundred miles away, the Santa Fc railroad having at that time reached La Junta on its way west
 After the crude smeiting plant had been moved from its original location to the mouth of Chase creek. the baby gauge railroad was built from the works" to Longfellow. The rails and engine for this railroad, the first of any kind ever operated in Arizona were hauled by wagons form La Junta, Colorado The rails were laid twenty inches apart. The cars first used were hauled by mules from the smelter to the mine and a load of ore and the mules were returned on the down grade with man to regulate the speed with brake. When the engine arrived from La Junta it was hailed by all as dI SFlUtECo Oi lue pIOSEtSsAft spiAii of Arizona The engine was set up by Henry Arbuckle, who continued to run an engine on the ''baby" gauge until it was succeeded by the present stadard narrow gauge railroad which runs between Clifton and Metcaf.

WORK OF THREE WOMEN
CHURCH THEY BUILT TO BE DEDI-
GATED AT MUNCIE SUNDAY.
Reward of Unremitting Toil-Prcgress
of Traction Work East of Muncie-
Trivial but Costly Suit.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
MUNCIE, Ind, Oct. 16.-Next Sunday will
be day of great joy to three church wom-
en- of Muncie On that day the South
Avondale Christian Church will be dedi-
Gated. This church, an unpretentious
wooden structure, stands as a monument
to the perseverance and energy of three
Muncie women, who practically built the
church. They are Mrs. NJ. ]. Shaner, Mrs.
Mahalia Rhoads and Mrs. Elizabeth Tins
ley. Their work was not spiritual and
mental only but it was practical manual
labor. So DESTROYS were they of giving the
poor people of South AvOndale and Box
town, the more remote southeastern sub
urbs of the city, a house of worship that
they even carried water, mixed the NOR
tar, drove team to pillow, and helped
lay the foundation of the church.
These three women had made a covenant
cease their efforts until the church had
been built They asked little aid, but they
!abored continually. Last summer, while a
broiling midsummer sun beat down on the
few men that they could afford to hire, they
worked beside them from sunrise till sun
set. At last their work is completed, and
on Sunday the Rev. Fred StOvenour, of
Portland, will deliver the dedicatory ad-
dress. DR.. T. NJ. McWhinney, chancellor of
Palmer University, the Rev. j. F. Burnett,
pastor of the First Christian Church of
Muncie, and other local ministers will make
addresses The Rev. John Robbins is pas
tor of the church. The congregation now
numbers about two hundred.

and incidentally to the broiling point below.
She does not recall. therefore. that the oven
is the proper place 10 keep these things
warm, but she lights burners on top OF the
stove, crowds this at the risk OF burning
herself, and does not consider that she Is
wasting gas.
Anywhere from 10 per cent 10 20 per cent.
OF your gas bill you can save by observing
these points alone. Then there is further
saving that comes in at turning of the
meter valve as il ought TO be turned Of.
and In watching your meter reader that he
does not turn IL on full again when he pays
his periodical visit. Maybe you cont APP
preciate the saving of gas you can accom-
plish by this simple means. Try for your
self, and you'll find you can turn OF this
valve anywhere from one-third TO one-half,
anu sun retain exactly as much hsnI anu
as much heating power as you had with the
valve wide open.
1T may be saying something that most
people know, but il is saying what most do
not appreciate. TO point out that no gas jet
should burn with a ragged flame. and no
gas burner on a range ought 10 burn with
yellow flame. It's easy thing 10 turn
of the gas pressure properly, as described.
and you might as well have a thing right
as wrong.
Still another expenditure that persons do
not appreciate is that Of having light burn
low all night.
Might as well have IL; it's convenient
in the hail. you hear remarked. 1T costs
only cents to burn IL all night But thirty
times cents are 90 cents, and If there are
two such burners in every household the
amount foots up 10 $40. just about one
quarter OF the sum total which the average
gas consumer has TO pay every month.
TRY my advice for just a month. and
you'll become interested in Topping off hg-
ures from your gas bill It's a lot OF salts
faction when you can see how readily IL $
done, especially when-well everybody looks
at money paid for gas as money thrown
into the street, more or less.

FILLING The VACANCIES
PACIFIC EXPRESS COMPANY Is EN-
PLOYING NEW MEN.
Little Change I'm the Strike Situation
i'm st. Loufs-Business of the Wa
bash Road Affected.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 16.-The strike inaug-
urated here last night by the Pacific Ex-
press Company messengers has not inter
fered with the transaction of business to
any considerable extent. Superintendent
Gentsch said tonight that business was
running along almost as usual and that
there is an overplus of men applying for
the vacancies, which are now practically
all filled. Mr.. Gentsch further stated that
he had received word to-day that no strikes
have been called among the employees in the
Rocky mountain division and that the
strikes which were called last night in the
Southwest are of small Importance. F. E.
Mode, of Chicago. president of the
National Brotherhood of Expressmen, who
is here supervising this strike, stated that
all members of the brotherhood employed
by the Pacific Express Company had re-
sponded to the order to strike. He said
that the brotherhood's local strength is
about 600 men and he thought they were
all out. No violence has been offered.
All the messengers, clerks and drivers
at Atchison, Kan, who struck yesterday
went back to work to-day in the belief that
the companys employees at Kansas City
intended taking similar action. The strikers
at hdHSdS lily, HOWeNeT, are OUT
NEW ORLEANS, Oct 16.-In the absence
of orders from the head officials of the
brotherhood local employees of the Southern
Express continued to handle Pacific Ex-
press matter here to-day. In this city the
men are handling Jointly the Pacific and
the Southern Express matter under con-
tract with the Southern. The employees are
on the Southern pay roll and are in every
way considered in the employ OF. that cor
poration. 1t was said to-day that the ex-
press messengers here would refuse to
handle Pacific Express matter.
CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-THE express service
on the Wabash Railway entering and leav-
ing Chicago is tied up by the strike of en-
ployes of the Pacific company. Secretary
Hill, OF the union, who is in Chicago. said
that the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen
had pledged the strikers assistance and
switchmen, freight hands and some con-
ductors would refuse to handle goods OF
the Pacific Express Company. About a
dozen out in Chicago.
OMAHA, Neb., Oct. ia number OF
the express messengers reporting to the
Omaha office were to-day sent south to take
strikers places and the company requested
porters to take the cars of those leaving.
The porters refused to do on the ground
that they were bonded as porters and not as
messengers. The porters were at once dis
charged

WENT TO HIGHEST BIDDER
CONTRACT FOR HEATING PLANT IN
COLUMBUS COURTHOUSE.
More Than Twice the Price Asked by
the Lowest Bidder-Investigatio
VIII BE Made at Once.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
COLUMBUS, Ind, Oct. 16.-The award
ing to w. III. Johnson & Son, of Indianap-
oils, of contract to install new heat
Ing apparatus in the courthouse is likely
to bring about an investigation. and the
subsequent exposition of some transactions
that will startle the community. Several
months ago 1t was decided that the heat
ing plant at the courthouse had become
obsolete. as well as badly worn. and that
new plant constructed after modern
plans was necessary, and the County Coun-
ell was importuned to make an appropria-
ton for new plant which was done.
The County Commissioners advertised for
bids on the plans and specifications which
had been prepared, and yesterday the bids
were opened. Three firms submitted bids.
The bid of r. III. Gardner & Co. was 81
400; that of C. M. Keller & Co. was $3,245,
and w. H. Johnson & Son bid $5.4S7 The
bid of r. II. Gardner & Co. specified that
if apparatus for the third floor was
omitted their bid should be reduced by
$3.50. c.. NJ. Keller & Co.'s bid also specified
that if no apparatus was used on the third
floor a deduction of s175 should be made
from their bid.
In the face of the fact that the bids of
both r. H. Gardner & Co. and c. NJ. KEEL
Ter & Co., both local firms, were lower by
almost half than the bid of the Indianap-
oils firm the contract was awarded to w.
H. Johnson & Son, and this notwithstand-
ing the further fact that G. M. Keller Ss
Co. were the only bidders who complied
strictly with the terms and specifications
under which bids would be considered.
among which was required an affidavit of
each bidder of noncollusion, and bond.
r. II. Gardner & Co. neglected to file the
affidavit and w. II. Johnson & Son filed
no bond.
The commissioners a majority of whom
are Democrats. have sought to transfer
the responsibility of letting the contract
to the highest bidder on Judge Hord, of the
Circuit Court, but that gentleman repudi-
ates the insinuation and disclaims any re-
sponsibility, which is eminently correct as
the judge had absolutely nothing to do
in the premises.
The deal, following close after another
by which an Indianapolis man was paid
$780, without competitive bid being asked.
for washing the walls and ceilings of the
| first and second floor corridors is caus-
ing much unfavorable comment, and il is
alleged by some that an investigation OF
both deals will disclose some shady trans
actions
II is reported that G. NJ. Keller & Co.
| propose to enion the commissioners from
| entering into contract with the Indianapolis
| firm for the new heating outfit
