HoUGHToN DEVELOPMENT CO.

This property, formerly the Solo man Springs copper company, lies immediately to the east of the pitts- Qlstrlct. Under the ole management Mr. Palmer sunk a 100 foot shaft down on the slope lands, with good results. Since it became known as the Hough- ton Development company. work has been resumed on an old 100 foot tun- nel near the headwateIs. Some ch!o- .1ding and shipping was done at that point years ago. The values al the
 Liner shalt are headed by copper, thile al the tunnel silver leads. The work al the tunnel is conducted lC. the purpose of obtaining shipping ore, and is of a scme what desultory char acter, the point not being well adapted to systematic development. Up or the side of the mountain, opposite tho scene of Tate's operations, the Hough ion people have run 100 foot tunnel, bringing up in an interesting forma tion distinguished for the presence o. iron. This tunnel is exploring pre- cipitous ground. which to an Arizona miner has a most inviting appearance on the surface. In every instance where work has been done to any eX- tent on this old Solomon Springs cop per property il has been rewarded by a good showing. It is not ex- plaineG, yet the fact remains, that the management in past years have shown a disposition to run away from hole as soon as it developed anything of consequence.
 The property must certainly he Tr0- nounced good so far as development and contributes largely to uphold the prestige and prospects of the Solc mon Springs Mining district. The Houghton Development lies about a half mile north of the Bisbee Consol- idated. a mile northwest of 'ee Cop per Glance and joins the Solomon Springs consolidated Copper company on it's west MT.

LIMITED TRAINS.
What Fast Train Ope-otior Means to
 Railroads.

When the Twentieth Century Lin ited" train recently made run on inc Lake Shore Railroad O. 1891 miles from Toledo to Elkhart in 1i3 minutes, probably none of the passengers gave a thought to the real meaning of such a magnificent speed performance. n order to accomplish the fast speed of fully S5 miles per hour had to be maintained for considerable portions of the distance. With a modern pas senger train such specl can be al- tained with safety ouly when roadbed. track equipment, discipline of employ es and other operating conditions are about as perfect as human skill san make :Iem.
 The train consiste', Of siX Puilnans, each weighing 55 ;ols. or q total II 330 tons. one comoinat:0l baggage car weighing 30 tons and a loco,Ao- tive 135 tons. To hurl a mass weigh ing a total of 495 tons or JO.0U1 pounds. along steel rails weighing only S5 pounds to the yard means a sus- tained shock of tremendous force and d cti oiA to ti oIh 4OdtDttl n would search out the slightest weak ness or defect.
 One revolution of the engine driv CTS, which were S4 inches in diameter carried the train forward about seven yards. In running one mile 'he pis ton rod must go backward and for ward 247 times. A speel of 8 miles pa- h0,r -,aanc p,iIae -1or ,;r ute, so that the piston rod would . have to go back end forth and the large drivers revolve six times eaci second. which is almos. too rapid fol the eve to follow.

Kodol does for the stomach that
which it is unable to do for itself,
even when but slightly disordered or
overloaded. Kodol supplies the nat
ural juices of digestion and does the
work of the stomach, relaxing the
nervous tension, while the inflamed
muscles of that organ are allowed to
rest and heal. Kodol digests what
you eat and enables thesstOmach and
digestive organs to transform all
food into rich, red blood.

Don't Worry.

This is easier said than done, yet il

over which you have no control it is
obvious that worrying will not help
the matter in the least. On the other
hand, if within your control you have
only to act. When you have cold

Thus spake the four leaders of Dem

hours before giving one more perform
ance of 1.-The GAY Lord QueX." And
this story is as Miss Lynden tells it.
Demopolis. it seems, had a new opera
house. The paint upon the same was
not yet dry. Its seats were of red
plush, and there were boxes done in
blue. Altogether it was an opera
house to be proud of. and Miss Lyn-
den and her company had agreed to
open II WIFI nc IIOiu NSuCA-
since the night was of course to be a
gala one. Every seat was sold for
days and days ahead. for DemOpolis,
with its 10000 people, seldom had a
New York attraction with a Pinero
play. In fact it had never had one
before. but this time there was the
new opera house to open. So seats
sold madly. There was stampede.
1t continued until a drummer came to
town. He heard that everyone was
trembling with excitement awaiting
the advent of the troupe I've

lightful though murderous abandon.
Its the raciest thing in the world.
Third act played in the bedroom with
the doors locked. all that sort of
thing. It'll turn your merry little
town right over in its grave" Saying
which he softly moved on to the next
town. 1t was at this point that Dem
opolis began to wonder whether it
had done the right thing in opening
the house with a Pinero play. No
one in Demopolis had ever heard of
Pinero. and knew little about the
play, but if the third act was played
in a bedroom with the doors locked.

returned 500 worth of tickets tq the

point Miss Lynden tells the story.
when we arrived she said sadly,

in the piece. and that came in the
