RIehsst RaIIroad IN the worId.


From the Arizona Republican.
As incredulous as it may sound to
many Tint Douglas has the richest rail-
road in the world, it is, nevertheless, a
fact. THIS railroad track and bed is only
about one-half a mile long. but its value
is doubtless correctly estimated at 50 0O0.-
900. Alongside of the sampling works Of
the Copper Queen smeter is the road
when comes out OF an excavated hollow
somewhat 10 the east Of the sampler. and
runs out to the smelter on roadbed Of
some of the richest copper ore I'm the
world. and also thousands of tons OF COM
centrates from other mines and mills The
roadbed forms the surplus ore reserve
for the Copper queen smelter, TO be
drawn upon in case of accident at tho Bis
bee n ines or ON the railroad. The depth
of the bed averages about nfteen feet
and il is thirty feet wide, and all IS ore
oxides. sulphides manganese, malachite.
etc., and concentrates that glitter like
nuggests of gold. II is estimated that
the bed Of this rich road contains 100000
tons of ore which runs 10 per cent. cop
per and is valued at $50 per ton.

SUE THE RAILROADS.
Government Brings Actions for Viola
ting Federal Law.

Upon the complaint of the inter
state commerce commission, and with
the sanction Of the attorney general
of the United States, United States
District Attorney J. S. Dean on Mon
day afternoon filed five suits against
railroads in the federal court here in
Topeka.
Complaints are made against the
Missouri Pacific railway company in
three instances, the charge being that
the company had not complied with
the safety appliance law which was
passed by congress March 2, 1908. 1t
is alleged that on February Is the
Missouri Pacific employees took a
train from Anthony to Wichita. The
train was composed of an engine and
five cars, and but one of the cars was
SO connected with the engine that the
air brake could be applied by the en-
gineer.
In the second complaint against the
Missouri Pacific it is charged that on
February 13, 1905, the company
hauled one of its cars from Pine Bluff,
Ark, to Yates Center, Kan, and that
the coupling apparatus WAS out of re-
pair. It was further charged that the
cars were not equipped with auto
matte coupIers. On February % it is
charged that the same offense was
committed from Webb City, Mo, to
Fleming, Kas.
One suit is filed against the Iron
Mountain, and the charge is that the
grab-iron on the side of the car was
missing when it arrived at Coffeyville,
and this made It dangerous for men
| to couple and uncouple the car.
The Frisco road is also complained
against. to the effect that it kept
cattle on the road more than "a hours
without food, water, or rest. The
cattle are said to have been shipped
from CordeiI, Okla, to Wichita.
All of the information is supplied
by the interstate commerce commits
sion. The papers were made up at
Washington, D. c.

VIOLATE CHILD LABOR LAW.
Commissioner johnson Finds That
Generally 1t Is Observed.

". L. A. johnson, secretary of the
state society Of labor. has just returned
from trip to some of the manufacture
ing points in the state to investigate
the report that the child labor law pass
ed by the last legislature is being vio-
lated. He found that the children I'M
der Il years of age have nearly oil
been weeded out of the factories and
that the employers of labor are gener-
ally manifesting a disposition to aid in
the enforcement Of the new law which
went into effect February %.
up at the Kansas City packing
houses says Mr.. Johnson, there have
been about so children under Il years
let out since the law went into effect.
These children are employed about the
packing houses doing all manner of
light work. such as carrying messages,
filing castings. and making boxes. They
are paid so or IS cents a day.
Down at Coffeyville I found a few
children employed in the glass fact
cries, but the managers of the plant in
formed me that they were being let
out as rapidly as possible. In some in
stances q child is given a certificate to
have filed out. as the law requires,
and fails to return the certificate
promptly The employer allows the
matter to run along without action. ex-
pecting the certificate to be brought in.
I have informed the employers that
they must secure immediate informa-
ton concerning the children in their
employ, as the law viii be enforced.
No discretionary power is given to the
Commissioners"
That section OF The law providing
penalties for failure to obey the law is
as follows:
ANY. person, firm or corporation en-
ploying any person or child in violation
of any provision Of this act, or permit
ting OF conuiving at such violation,
shall be deemed guilty of a nisdemea-
nor. and upon conviction thereof shall
be fined in sum not less than SIS nor
more than 500, or by Imprisonment in
the county Jail not less than so days
nor more than 80 days"
