The Greene Consolidated Copper
company has declared Il dividend OF
$II4,OOO to be paid May 18th, ordered
by the directors April 22nd. These
payments will in our opinion follow in
rapid succession, due to the fact that
copper now commands a good price
aud the enormous production OF the
Cananea mines, which was for the
month of April, 1850, 600 pounds OF
pure, refined copper, $1,000 ounces OF
silver, $500 ounces of gold. This
wonderful showing means much
means prosperity TO the camp, and
good interest on the capital invested
here, rejoicing among the stockhOld-

y survey Of the bradshaw mountain
district of Arizona has been made for
the United States Geological Survey
by Professors jaeger and Palachc, and
the results are now in preparation for
publication An accurate topographic
map Of the district has been engraved
ON scale of about two miles to the
inch, with l0O-foot contours. The
area Includes about 1000 square miles
between McCabc and Tiptop mining
district, inclusive. ana extends from
near Prescott on the northwest to the
New River mountains on the south
west, including the mountainous dis
trict of the Prescott Forest Reserve

ARGUED FOR THE
PANAMA CANAL
Colombian President Appealed to the
Senate All in Vain.

CARACAS, Venezuela, Aug. 22.-The
following dispatch has been received
from Bogota: Before presenting the
Panama canal treaty to the Colombian
senate, President Marroquin said
My government is confronted with
this dilemma: Either our sovereignty
must suffer detriment or we must re-
snounce certain pecuniary advantages
to which, in the opinion of many, we
have a right; or we must vigorously
maintain our sovereignty and claim in
pefemptory manner the pecuniary in
demnity to which we consider our
selves entitled.
- In the first case, by consenting to
the diminishing of our authority and
not aspiring to an important indemnity
If the canal should be opened through
the Panama isthmus, the Just desire
of the inhabitants Of that department
and Of all Colombians, and also the
government, would be satisfied, but the
government would be exposing itself to
having the charge brought against 1t
later that it did not duly defend our
sovereignty, and that 1t sacrificed the
interest of the nation.
In the second case, should the canal
not be opened through Panama, the
government will be reproached with
not having allowed Colombia to obtain
that advantage (which isrconsidered an
essential condition of our aggrandize-
ment."
He concluded with stating his desire
that the canal ebe opened through our
territory"

and the show of fine swine at the Min
nesota fair will surpass any similar
show ever made in the West. The
new building is at the west end Of the
grounds, approached by four good
pedestrians. 1t is the model swine
barn for exhibition purposes in Amer
lea. 1t has a ground floor space of
140X160 feet and an ornate exterior.
Its interior arrangements, the fair
mana cement asserts, are not approach
ed by any similar exhibition building.
The main floor is divided into 168 pens,
between which run driveWays, broad
walks for visitors and entirely sepa-
rate avenues for exhibitors, workmen
and supplies The pens are partitioned
with solid walls, but on the three other
sides are inclosed by steel netting, se-s
cure and affording amplest ventilation
and light facilities.
The entire floor is cement and every
inch of it may be flushed, for which
ample water supply is furnished at
convenient intervals. In the center of
the building is a large show pen for
Judging, from which, on either side,a
rise two stands for spectators, with a.
seating capacity Of 800. Not only will
the fair visitor have ample and unob-s
structed opportunities to view the
prize pigs in their pens, but those more
directly interested will have uneX-
cened facilities for observing the judg-1

it was $4,000, and the association'a
preparations for record breaking at
tendance is warranted both by the in
creased size Of the fair and by expert
ence of former years, which has BEEN
a continuous story of growth and pros
perity since 1894.
The total receipts in 1894 were $32,-
S57S6; in 1902 nearly five times as
great, or $143,304.73. By years the re-
ceipts We're as follows: 1895, $49,-
1858; 1896, s55,515.55; 1897, $4S,5S0.30;
1898, $57,611.59; 1899, $SS,71191; 1900,
$9O,524.40; 1901, $113,S35.63; 1902, $143,-
304.73. The increase in attendance is
shown on the same relative ratio as
shown in the difference in receipts for
1901 and 1902. The total attendance in
1901 was 161 1885, in 1902, 227, 989
For two years preceding the present
the Minnesota state fair has been the
greatest fair on the American CONT
nent, leading the Toronto fair by q
narrow margin in magnitude and eX-
tent of exhibits, attendance and total
receipts. The receipt margin last year
was only about $4,000, but 1t was lead
enough to leave no doubt as to which
is entitled to the premier place. Com
pared with state fairs, it is twice the
magnitude of the greatest of them, the
Illinois fair held at Springfield, and
more lHdH twice DIS ldISt III OH par
ticulars as the Ohio and Wisconsin
fairs.
The formal inaugural address of the
1903 fair will be made Monday after
noon by Senator Fairbanks, Of Indiana.
Monday will be dedication day, but ev-
cry exhibit must by order of the di-
rectors, be in place before the gates
open in the morning and the full pro-
gramme in front of the stands will be
given afternoon and evening.
Dan Patch in his race against the
worlds record will be the sporting
event Monday afternoon. Running
races on the half-mile track will be
sandwiched between the heats of the
two class races, and at the conclusion
of the race card the big special attrac-
tons will exhibit inside the circle. Sec
rotary Randall is especially proud or
the programme he offers this year.
The piece de resistance is Pains An
cient Rome, seen in the West for the
first time this season. 1t is said to be
the crowning triumph Of the wizard OF

clist sensation Of last years fair, is the
star of the vaudeville bill, which in
cludes some of the best known teams

Can You Wonder That the
Undertaken Is a Pessimist?

per 1000 and estimate the population
of the city and county at 100000. That
means there will be 1000 funerals in
St. Paul or conducted by st. Paul un.
dertakers this year. There are just
twenty undertaking establishments in
the city so that If the total business
were evenly divided we would have
some of us and equally unfortunate for
others, the business is by no means
equally divided. Five or six of us
do the great bulk of the business
which means that some of the estab-
lishments instead of having an average
OF two funerals per week will come
nearer averaging one fun a-al in two
or three weeks. Every one of these
twenty undertaking establishments
vestment, some of them of much
larger proportions than is generally
believed. Many of the establishments
employ licensed embalmerS at sub
stantial salaries beside the heads of
the concerns who are almost without
exception licensed experts. Seventeen
of the twenty establishments are
down town and heavy rent payers.
Several maintain elaborate rooms for
public funerals with substantially all
the accessories to be found in modern
church. We are among the few firms
maintaining modern morgues, but all of
US are compelled to keep dual stats of
employees and wagons and drivers, be-
sides the stock investment is much
heavier than the laymap would be in
clined to think
while it is true that one of the up
town and four or five of the down town
establishments do the bulk of the
business, leaving the pickings mighty
slim from the majority of the firms, it
is equally true that the st. Paul tuner
al directors have never descended to
the undignifed level their brothers in
some of the larger cities have been
forced to do in order to secure a liv-
ing. We have no ambulance chasers
and we are free of the contract sys-
tenn, with the sole exception of the
county's business.
None of the st. Paul secret socfe-
ties SO far as I know enter into con-
tracts with any firm for the funerals
of their deceased members Railroads
provide for the funerals Of employees
killed in service, and to their credit
rather literally. The c,l rates are
cor4 ned to the county's business and
infant funerals and the latter are any
thing but a source of profit to the fun
eral director.
1.-THE railroad companies have fixed
appropriation for funerals on a-slight-
ly graded scale. There is practically
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-08-23

detailed for work at the grounds by
Postmaster McGill, and the service will
commence Saturday before the fair
and continue until Monday evening af
ter the fair closes.
One change in buildings will be
especially pleasing to the fair sex and
provide for the immense growth of
the women's work department which
long ago outgreW the Woman's build
ing. The old carriage building at the
head Of the grand drive is now the
woman's building. 1t has a floor space
of more than four times that in the
womens old building and is rapidly
being put in the pink of condition for
the fair exhibitors.
The building formerly devoted to the
womens exhibits will be turned over
to the game and fish commission and
used exclusively for game and fish ex-
hibits This transfer relieves a large
space in the exposition building for
industrial exhibits and at the same
time will permit the exhibition of one
of the largest and most comprehensive
game and fish displays ever made at a
fair.
The horticultural building has been
thoroughly renovated and provisions
made for an increase in the county
exhibits, the poultry building improved
by the installment Of permanent coops,
and so 1t goes throughout the big fair
plant which represents a total invest
ment of nearly s1,OO0,000.
AS in former years, the races will be
one Of the stellar attractions Of the big
fair. The mile track for the harness
horses is one Of the fastest in Amer
lea, and on Monday, the opening day,
Dan Patch, the worlds greatest PAGER,
will attempt to make it the fastest by
clipping fraction from his marvellous
record Of 1859. While no alterations
have been made In either track, they
have been worked since spring with
the idea of increasing their speed. One
improvement at the track will be well
coined by all patrons of the grand
stand and bleachers, be they race en-
.thusiasts or patrons of the vaudeville
and ular-performances given
inside the track.
1t is the new starters stand on the
mile track. 1t occupies the site of the
old stand just inside the paddock and
midway the length of the grand stand
proper, but it is of steel construction,
consisting only of the slender steel up
rights, two floors and the roof. The
wire will be always in plain view of
the stands and bleachers, doing away
with the old-time rushes for points of
vantage in exciting finishes, and does
not obStruct the view of the inside
field from any point on the stand. The
stabling at the track provides for the
accommodation Of 100 horses and seven
other stables, with a capacity CT fifty
