GOV. SHEPHERDS PROPERTY.
All He Had Was In the Batopilas
Mining Company.

The report of Mr.! L. 8. Stevens, the Sec
rotary of the Bat6pilas Mining Company,
of its operations durihg the year 1907
which is Just out, may perhaps explain
some publications in regard to the wealth
Of the late Gov. Shepherd that were made
at the time of his death.
After reviewing the stupendous work that
Gov Shepherd did in developing the mines
during his long residence in Mexico. and
paying high tribute to his fidelity and
value to the company, Mr.. Stevens says:
"And here cannot forbear saying word
concerning the sensational paragraphs that
have appeared in many newspapers setting
forth the great wealth OF Gov. Shepherd
AS a matter Of fact, his wealth consisted
solely Of the stock he held in the Batopilas
company. 1t is well known that his hold
ings were large and his unbounded faith in
their ultimate value never wavered or
changed.
There is even less truth in the fanciful
tales of the luxury in which he lived Life
| in Batopilas is life of labor and extreme
simplicity. The dwelling house is a one
story adobe building. one room deep, and
substantially the same as Gov. Shepherd
found it in 1880. The furniture is simple
and the table, while as good as that barren
region will afford, is meagre. There is. per-
haps, no stakeholder Of our company resid-
ing in the United States whose home is
not better furnished and more amply pro-
vided."
1t will be remembered that in some Of the
published statements Gov. Shepherd 8
wealth was variously estimated at from
"a. 100000 to 100000. Mr.. Stevens' state
ment that all his wealth consisted in stock
of the Batopilas Mining Company shows
that the estimates of the immediate value
of his estate were entirely erroneous There
are stockholders in this city who know
that. at present, the dividends on their
stock would not be counted in their assets,
and the late governors holdings are in the
same condition.

OLIVE OIL IN ARIZONA.
The Rise Of a Great Industry in tho
Southwest.

"Olive Oil is now being shipped by the
ton from the Salt River valley of Arizona
and the business is on the BOOM" said D.
F. Franklin of Phoenix, Ariz. THE entire
valley Is becoming dotted with olive
orchards, and at this season Of the year
the trees are covered with thousands Of
tiny little starlike buds, which will soon be
followed by the fruit formation. which,
when matured on the tree will amount to
hundreds of pounds o. fruit. Olives remain
on tha trees until they are thoroughly ripe
before they are picked to have the oil
squeezed and pressed from them.
when the olives are ripe it requires a
large number of hands to pick them, for the
work must be done quickly. This is usually
done by spreading large canvas sheets
around the trees upon which the pickers
throw the olives as they are plucked off the
branches. Once they are picked the fruit is
carried to the crushing machine. which
breaks the fru.> up nue. as apples are
crushed for cider. The pulp is then put
INTO machine which presses the Juice from
II which runs off into a tank where NV
force Of gravity the Oil proper rises to the
top and is SKINNED off and put away for
several months to settle before it is bottled
ready for the market. 1t requires about
seventy-five pounds of fruit to produce a
gallon Of OIL"

subjected to the treatment for reducing
materials to paper pulp.
During this operation any Oil that is in
the seeds or other parts that have dele
FERROUS effect on the pulp will rise to the
surface during the operation of boiling and
may be skinned off. The pulp is then
ready to be employed in the manufacture of
paper in the usual way.
prior to this invention it had been pro-
posed to make paper pulp from the bark of
the stalks and roots and also from the
stalk and roots themselves. but the pulp
made from these materials is of an inferior
quality and lacks the necessary strength
and density. 1t has been discovered that by
using the seed cotton in connection with
the cotton stalks. roots and woody fiber of
the plant, a pulp from which paper of
greater density can be manufactured with
out the employment Of rags and other SINH
lar substitutes. The cotton staple or lint is
employed in giving the necessary toughness
and also a finished surface to the paper"

Decline to Grant Request.

Jeremiah II. Donovan OF ZOOS 18th street
northwest. in letter to the Commission
ers, has asked permission to open the cell
lar door OF the premises mentioned for the
purposes Of ventilation. An inspector OF
the engineer department has reported that
tho request involves the modification Of sec
ton II, article 20 OF the police regulations,
to tho end that the cellar doors Of premises
may be left open for ventilation. It has
been the consistent ruling Of the engineer
department of the District to deny requests
Of this character and the regulations pro-
vide that no opening in tho sidewalk shall
be permitted to remain open longer than
necessary to move or remove goods.
A. the object Of the writer can be accom-
plished by mobilization Of the cellar door

endangering the use Of the sidewalk there
would appear to be no necessity for amend
ing the regulations and the request will be
denied by the Commissioners.

To Reach the Top.
From the Four Track News

From the -Four Track News.
Proverbs are sometimes Internationally
discouraging. Where is there a proverb
which is intended to be any more full Of
encouragement than the assuring one that
there IL plenty Of room at the top?" yet,
to many men, 'the top" seems so far away
that the proverb tends to deaden rather
than stimulate the effort to gain the covet-
ed summit. where it is promised there are
rooms to rent. We should not lose sight
OF the fact that there Ia plenty Of room all
the way up; that the niche next above the
one we are in is not crowded. We may not
all reach the top, and II we did the proverb
would prove false; there would be no spare
err" but that should not deter us from aim
ing high and endeavor1ng to be as content
as possible even II others do overtop US.
