We are having something
new in Beavers nearly every
day.
We are making more velvet,
chenille and silk hats than in
previous seasons, as our prices
on these goods are so little in
advance of what a pretty
trimmed felt hat costs, that it
is an object for the customer.
Perhaps the being sure of a
good fitting hat--one that will
stay on--may be one of the
principal reasons.
1t will be greatly to your
advantage to see our Bonnets

The assortment is good and

Doubles in Six Years.

According to a geological report
now being prepared in the govern
ment office at Washington the iron
ore output Of the United States has
doubled In quantity during tile past
six years.
During 1902 the United States pro-
duced 81, 554, l35 long tons of iron ore,
valued at $65, 4l2, $50, and increase OF
% per cent over the production of
1901 and 1903 per cent over 1897. The
most significant feature of the statis-
tics of the industry is that 1922, $50
tons of iron ore came from eight mines
and 16,24S,2S0 tons from eighteen
mines, the shipping operations of all
of which, with two exceptions, are
limited by climatic conditions to
about 200 days annually. One hun
dred and twenty-six operators pro-
duced So per cent of the product of the
country. Seventy-two operators pro-
duced over 100000 tons each.
Inc geological survey Will soon Is
sue its report on mineral resources for
1902 showing that that year, for the
third time, the total value of the
commercial mineral products of the
United States exceeded 81, 900, $1,000.
The exact figures for 1902 were 81 $780,
$780, AIS. which, as compared with
sl,086, 594,s 1851 in 1901, shows gain of

the past year is not given, but the
Lake Superior production is, and is
figured at 100000 tons, against 81
600, 900 in 1902. Prior to that the Lake
Superior production had increased
every year for ten years at about
1850, 900 tons per year, or from 6,00O.-
900 tons in 1903. In 1890. 1891, 1892
the average output was 100000 tons.
The production in the United States
was about 30, 500, 900 tons in 1902 and
20, 900, OOO. the year previous, the aver
age yearly increase in tonnage being
about 2, $50, 900 for the ten years pre-
ceding. In 1890 and 1892 the produc-
tion of the United States averaged a
little over 115.OOO,OOO. From com
parsion of the Lake Superior and the
United States productions for the de-
cade from 1893 to 1902 the United
States produced, it is shown, about
2l0, OOO,0 tons. the latter maintain
ing almost the same average of 60 per
cent of the production for the ten
years. In 1893 the Lake Superior
share was about 50 per cent, and in
1902, u per cent. Germany and Eng
land last year produced together &c.

many and England combined failed to

with little over 100000 tons,
while France, Belgium, Russia, India,

THE STRIKE.
Effected as Far as
the Men are Concerned.

/
The strike news of this week is a
strong modification of last weeks
stirring times. Through the hard
work and untiring efforts of Mayor
Vail a settlement was effected yester-
day whereby the men agreed to drop
further hostilities and go to work
upon che opening of the mines.
In last weeks article on the strike,
the MINER was in error in the state
ment that From appearances of the
dissatisfied ones, Austrians and ltal-
ians were the aggressive ones, with a
slight sprinkling of other nation
alities." Since the above sentence
was printed last week, we have ascer-
tanned on authority that cannot be
denied that all the nationalities en-
ployed at the mines were aggressive
ones and not the two alone which
were mentioned. We cheerfully
make the correction inasmuch as the
article was not intended to do either
of the factions an Injustice.
Saturday afternoon meeting was
held at the Opera House and speeches
were made by every nationality repre-
sented in the strike in their native
tongue. This was a business mems
and strikers meeting and large
crowd were present.
Mayor Vail spoke briefly on the ad-
visibility of coming to some mutual
understanding and also on the APP
pointment of committees to confer
with the company in Duluth on the
grievances.
A delegation was elected and each
and all were cautioned to keep things
secret until they returned and re-
ported to their various constituents.
The party left Monday afternoon
for Duluth. On Tuesday morning
President Cole of the Oliver Iron
Mining company, received the dele
CATION and the men stated their
grievances. What the answer Of the
company's president was could not
be learned. The delegation returned
Tuesday evening. Wednesday meet
ings were called in private and the
matter discussed. No agreement
could be reached and the meetings
were adjourned until yesterday when
an understanding was arrived at.
What the outcome will be remains
to be seen. 1t is understood, how
ever, by some who seem to be in a
position to know that the mines will
again be working within short
time.
During the entire time since the
beginning on Wednesday of last week
the utmost order has prevailed with
the exception of the demonstration
on Thursday. Much Of this condl-
tion is accredited to the fact that
the saloons were kept closed during
the turbulent times and the effec-
tiviness in which Mayor Vail en-
forced the closing order. 1t cannot
be denied that during the entire
time Mr.. Vail kept his head and
worked day and night for settle
ment. In this he was ably assisted
by George l.. Brozich, who is an ex-
cellent interpreter and stated the
case both in English and Austrian
in very effective manner.
The citizens are satisfied with the
outcome and feel much easier since
the Adjustment.
Last evening three bands made
their appearance and helped to en-
liven things somewhat. Everybody
Is pleased and much satisfaction is
oyer the manner in which
the entire affair was conducted on
the part of both the strikers and the
mayor.

Cats in Politics.

4 reader. of this paper writes for in- formation as to the significance of the cat in Mir. Harrison's cartoons of our esteemed friend, MT. Smith.
 The cat plays an important part in this campaign. At MT. Smiths meet ing in Phoenix one of his advocates, brilliant young attorney. told cat story. As the story ran, the attorney and MT. Smith were vending their way homeward from a restaurant in the small hours of a dark, wet morning. MT. Smith heard a cry of distress. and insisted upon stopping for an investi- gation. A half-drowned kitten was found. and MT. Smith proceeded to place the forlorn creature inside his silk-lined overcoat. The two men and the cat returned to the restaurant and MT. Smith, placing the cat upon the counter, called for warm milk for the sustenance of a helpless waif It's life was saved.
 Tn our judgment the story contains the most powerful argument yet ad- vanced for the election of MT. Smith. It is true that the story first appeared in Hostetter's almanac of the year 1887, and since then the incident has been related of FIG politicians and 347 policemen, but we have never doubted that MT. smith saved the Phoenix cat as set forth in the narrative.
 And in travelling with a cat Mr. smith is following in the footsteps of distinguished friend. According to the New York Sun. Judge Parker has soventeen cats.

J. C. Phillips.

It is an unwritten rule that when a local official during his first term makes a record of signal fidelity and efficiency in the discharge of his duties, he is entitled to a reelection. This rule applies with unusual force to Probate Judge, J. c. Phillips. Judge Phillips is one Of the most competent and efficient probate judges of the territory. In his conduct of the office he has kept in view and followed two principles First. that every estate should be administered as promptly as possible; second, that the cost of ad- miristration should be reduced to the minimum. The business has been pushed through promptly. The drag ging process that had sapped the sub stance from many estates has under Judge Phillips been cut out so far as it was possible for him to cut it cut. The result has been that under him the cost Of administration has been on the average less than ever before in the history of Maricopa county This promptness in settling estates has not been conducive in getting out Of the business in fees "all that the traffic would bear" There is no affinity be- tween the course followed by Judge Phillips and the policy of flor revenue only" But every dollar the county treasury has failed to receive because the business of the probate court has been handled without any unnecessary friction and delay. the estates involved have been saved many times that amount.
 No appeal has been taken from any ruling or decision of Judge Phillips during his term of office. This record is absolutely phenomenal, and speak elcquently of the respect in which his rulings are held by the bar of Mari copa county, and IS one or many proofs of the practically universal satisfac- ton he has given in conducting the probate affairs of this county. The reelection of Judge Phillips ought to be a certainty.
