There Is some suspicion that the st.
Paul directors have been selling treas
ury stock in the market. It is no more
than a suspicion and the thing appears
to be technically improbable Nearly
everybody expects that subscription
rights, sooner or later, will be forth
coming on the increase of stock re-.
Gently authorized. The authorization
of new issue of stock was designed,
In the first place as a club with which
to bring the Union Pacific to terms
by threats to build to the Pacific
coast and by authorizing new stock
issue in support of these threats, Mr.
Hartman was induced to grant St
Paul the traffic facilities It wanted
over the Union Pacific. When st.
Paul was selling above 1s0 on it's last
previous upward movement a director
said to his friends that nothing would
be done about the expected rights for
some time to come. He intimated that
Standard Oil interests were averse to
financing an issue of stock while the
money market remained in an unset
tied condition Since that statement
was made the monetary situation has
been slowly clearing, until now the
money market is in a normal con
dition and by that sign It may be un.
derstood that some action on the new
stock Is appreciably nearer. The ST.
Paul is not in need of money. Even Il
IL were there would be no inducement
for II to issue new stock at par to
stockholders, for on the money thus
realized IL would have to pay seven
per cent dividends, where as ii could
borrow any amount OF money in the
open market at four and half per
cent The only motive, therefore.
that might induce the directors to is
sue new stock at par land that is what
they are expected to do) would be TO
reimburse stockholders for the money
that in the past has been diverted
from dividends TO improvements by
Offering them very valuable subscrip.
tion rights The st. Paul has never
been known to sell treasury stock in

HAS A WHEEL, SINGULAR
Not In His Head, but an Invention
of Much Merit

w. S. Wilson, a mining man and
scientist, who has spent tbs last
seven years of his life in the salu-
brious climate around Harrisburg,
has been NO to Prescott to spend
the summer. He seeks the changes
afforded by our vast regions for his
health, and while ne has thus been
spending his time he has done
considerable prospecting.
Among other things he has in
vented the finest thing i'll the way
Of vehicle wheel that has ever
been invented. 1t is a marvel OF
simplicity and strength, which
must be seen in model form, al
least, to be fully appreciated AS
soon as he can find some one with
the capital to spare. he will have
the making of them started on a
big scale.
John Duke, of Prescott, has in
vestigated the proposition and will
likely become interested with MIR.
Wilson in the wheel There is
no doubt that there is a big i'm
provement in wheels included
under the patents Of Mr.. Wilson.
which will in the near future revo
lutionize the wheel business of the
country.
Mr. Wilson has some fine mining
properties out near O. E. Runners

STOLE KOPPE'S TOOLS
Did a Hobo, Got Caught and Fifty
Days in the County Jug

Recently Y several minor robber-
les have been perpetrated in this
vicinity. Last week man who
had been helping Mr.. Hoppe, the
local blacksmith, took away with
him quite a number of fine tools
He was found trying to sell the
tools in Congress, and some one
found they bore the stamp of Mr.
Hoppe. Mr.. Hoppe Immediately
offered reward of $50 for the ar
rest and conviction of the thief.
Constable Boscha went at work on
the case at once and by the next
morning had his man corralled.
He had become frightened and left
town. But he was soon trailed up
aud captured at 4ar1@ll.
No wonder Mr.. Hoppe took a
deep interest in the case, for great
many of his finest steel drills and
other fine tools were among those
missing, After the arrest of the
thief he acknowledged the crime
and did what he could to restore
the missing tools to Mr.. Hoppe.
and by a kind OF mutual consent
the gentleman was sent up for
fifty days with the understanding
that he would get out of the coun-
try as soon as that time expired.
There is where Judge Hall got in
his fine work. If we get rid of that
hombre, it will be we'll. Mr. Hoppe
had done him favor in trying to
give him a chance to earn a few
dollars.
Mr.. Hoppe is poorer about $75
and the gentleman who took the
tools is richer fifty days board at
public expense, and all those who
wish to know about things OF this
kind can learn a lesson from the
episode.

Came to View the ALASKA

Thomas McGill and Benjamin F.
Cobb, of the Lumber Review, of
Chicago, came in this week to look
at the Alaska mine. Mr.. Sullivan
took them over the property, and
also up to Date creek to examine
the wafer supply. These gentle
men made a pleasant visit to this
office Tuesday evening They are
all jolly gentlemen and their visit
was an extremely enjoyable one.
We hope they will think enough Of
the Alaska mine to take a hand in
its further development and opera
ton. We have often expressed
the opinion that the Alaska mine
will be- the next big producer Of
this section.

GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS
Planet Saturn Nine Property Was
APPRAISED This Week

A. A. Johns and G. r. Blassen-
game came down from Prescott
Wednesday and accompanied w.
A. Clark out to the Fools Gulch
mine where they will meet J. w.
Smith, of the Octave store. Mr..
Clark will show the gentlemen
over the mine and mill and they
will appraise the value of the
property. The three gentlemen
have been appointed by the Pro-
bate Court to appraise the prop
erty before ordering it sold at adj
ministrator's sale.
The Commercial Trust Company
of Prescott, has been appointed
trustee in receivership for the
property. This is an important
move in mining circles and will
probably result in the reopening
of the famous Planet Saturn mire.

PROMISING SECTION
Which Needs Nothing but Work to
Make 1t a Big Producer

In our trip Sunday out, to- the
Leviathan Gold Company's prop
erty, We saw mineral region that
can not be beaten in extent. This
property IS located on the greatest
gold bearing ledge in Central Ar
iona, which is the banner gold
producing section OF the Territory.
The ledge is about 1000 feet
across and assays taken from the
surface have run from $f.10 TO-
$15. Other assays from the deeper
workings Of the property have
given higher values. But If the
proposition would run $500
per ton on an average, or even
less, it could be worked at a profit.
There are few such mineral bearing
ledges in the world, and as soon as
the company gets things to NOV
ing, there will be one of the biggest
mining propositions in Arizona.
The proper way to develop that
monster vein would certainly be
with diamond drill. A ledge of
such extent can not be prospected
as it should in,the usual way The
expense of installing diamond
drill would be small, and a few
months work with it would dem
onstrate that the property could be
made to pay to work on the big
gest scale of anything yet under
taken in this part of the country.
We trust that the company will
soon be able to raise the necessary
funds to start work on large
scale. The death of the treasurer
OF the company, and the protract
ed illness of the president, have
hindered greatly the progress OF
the company in the development
of the property. We trust that all
hindrances will soon he removed,
for there lies the making of big
mining camp from which still
greater prosperity would come to
this district if it should ever be
worked up to its possibilities.

The trip over the mine was
made without incident and to the

cerned, except that the railroad
Superintendent showed the mine
manager new road to the camp
from the main workings of the
property. AS a result of that,
somebody has had lot of patch

tremities on SOMEBODY'S trousers.
1t is not good for corduroy to make
toboggan slides without the sled.
On our return to the camp, both
guide and expert showed up. They
were ready for the repast prepared
by the camp cook, under the orders
OF Mr.. Woods. And we might say
that there were others. The return
trip was made in good time and
kept lively by the deep, mellow
voices OF Messrs. Holbert and Car
rigan, who remember all the songs
they hear and sing them for pas
time. We have never enjoyed a
trip more than that one. And the
big mineral ledge which we saw
added no little to the pleasure OF
the trip. The great possibilities of
that section can not be Overestl-
mated. And the crowd that ac-
conpanied US can not be beaten as
entertainers. Here's to the eternal
happiness of the. entire push.

THE BURIAL LEAGUE OF THE
UNITED STATEa

Was organized for the purpose of pro-
viding the means of burial to the mer-
chant, mechanic and laborer, or any
member of their family, without having
to 60 into debt for this purpose.
It does this by means of an annual
payment, collected from each, sufficient
to cover the cost and expense necessary
to conduct such an institution.
It is a pure and simple burial COM
pany conducted largely by undertak-
ers, and covers a field exclusively its
own. We all know insurance companies
operating under the industrial plan
must charge more than Is actually
necessary, on account of their heavy
expense in making collections. and the
system under which they operate. We
also know that our wives and children
cannot join our Lodges and Fraternities,
and that if they could the cost would be
too great; hence this company organized
to furnish the means to bury them, as
well as yourself, should you not belong to
some order, or, if you desire the 'bene'
fits" granted by your order to go to them
''in cash" instead of being used to bury
you.
A contract with US does not interfere
with any Insurance you now carry OF

cured out of either can be saved for thu

Nets Lure Athlster.

Races through deep snow are an at
tractlve feature of winter sports In
Germany, apd athletes who take part
In them do not always fare very sue
cessfully.
The reason Is because over the ground
which the runners must cross nre laid
nets with strong mesbes, and as these
are covered by the snow and hence are
Invisible the mems feet almost always
catch I'm them. the result being that n
race Instead OF being won by the swift

who IL lucky enough to escape the nets
or who succeeds In freeing himself the

Boston harbor froze over In January

necessary channels was given to mer.

the space of three days, channel
about ten miles long. For tools they
had the best machinery used In cutting

"You see. hope, that could not with
propriety let her see It." 1t was no.
