EMERSON PIANOS

to prove what the buying power of this
great Company must be. The small
manufacturer who turns out only a few
pianos each month will certainly have to
pay more for the material in each piano
there is absolutely no doubt about
this.
When YOU consider these facts and
put this truth along side of them, that
there are only three companies in the
United States who have made and sold
as many pianos as ourselves-that we
haven't competitor making high
grade piano whose output is as large rs
ours-it needs no argument to convince
you that, quality for quality, yon can
buy cheaper of us than of any one else

The OUTPUT

In deciding upon price at which to
sell, manufacturer, no matter what ar
ticle he has to offer, considers how many
he is likely TO sell. and bases his charges
accordingly. 1t is quite reasonable, too.
If Il tailor sells only two suits of clothes
each week, his income must come from
the profits of these two suits. If he can
however, double or treble his output
without materially increasing his work
ing expenses, he can naturally afford to
make the profit on each suit much less.
Again. this output decides the buying
power. 1t is only necessary to state that
there have been manufactured and sold
over

E0URTH LOT JULY. DRILLING

Nov that ChanberIata and Make have arrived on the scene of the great drilling contest. which Is to come off here on the Fourth. interest seems to have awakened. The worlds cham pions were the center of public gaze wherever they went yesterday. At the blacksmith shop where they sharpened their steel to be used in practice, every small boy. and for that matter, men as well, looked on ad- miringly at the men who were able to drill deeper hole than the Bisbee favorites, Ross and Malley.
 It is easy to see that Chamberlain is the general of the team, upon whom falls the scheming by which they ex- pect to win against all corners. He is a powerfully built man, but beside the giant Make, looks like pigmy. Make. the big Finlander, whose agile strength has driven many a set of drills through the tough Gunnison granite and won for him the soubri- quet of the rock eater" is a fine specimen of physical manhood Standing six feet and four inches in his stocking feet, he makes Ross, the local giant, look like & small man. Neither Chamberlain nor Make are given much to talking Both are shrewd enough to know that If they are to learn anything. of the condition and work of their opponents, they must be good listeners.
 The San Pedro men went out for a little while yesterday and drilled a shallow hole in the soft rock up the canyon, but they did not seem to ex- ert themselves more than enough to try the rock. Most of the afternoon
 was spent in the o. K. blacksmith shop, in getting their steel in shape for practice work It is expected that they win go into training in earnest Monday
 1 In regard to the statement which gained so much ground after the cen test at El Paso last January, Cham beriain treated the matter lightly, but stated that the coming contest would show that there was absolutely no
 truth in the charge that he and Make
 had used chemicals in drilling the
 hole that won them the champions iship.
 That the contest here on the Fourth lof July will be the greatest in the
 history of the sport. there seems little
 aonbt MaiIey and Ross are training ike mad, and Maliey states that Il
 will take more than 43 1-4 inches to put him and Ross in second place thiz Itime. lMaiiey Is confident that him lseif and partner will get first money from their late conquerors. and if con jdition counts for anything he is en

Titled to his belief. Bosh he and Ross look to be in the best condition that their admirers ever saw them. i. Word reached here that Lundquist
 and Hupp, the Terrible Swedes,"
 were coming from Ouray, Colorado, in the firm belief that they will also
 defeat Chamberlain and Make. The Swedes can always be relied on to
 drill a good hole, and many times they
 have surprised younger teams by
 their marvellous work on the stone
 block.
 Tarr brothers have not been asleep.
 and while 1t is difficult to get line
 on their daily performances in train
 ing. the friends of the Globe men
 look wise when the subject is
 preached, and express their conf
 dence that this team will be in the
 race every second of the time. | The single-hand contest will not be without its stars. for, if report is true, Fred Yockey, the red-headed lr'nachine," will be here. His per dL E<A dcO Cblttlto mn ec

 o. M. King. while not in training
 for the events of the Fourth, will probably enter. King won from Conley here last Fourth, and there is
 no telling what the strapping young fellow will drill.
