MINING CONGRESS
 CONFINES TUESDAY
QUESTION OF CREATION OF DE- APARTMENT OF MINES AND MIN ERALS WILL BE DISCUSSED AT FL PASO.

Fl Paso, Tex. November 13.-(speeial)- The American Mining congress opens here tomorrow morning in regular annual ses- sion with a guarantee of large attend anee, the city being filled with delegates.
 The meeting promises to be unusually interesting this year for the reason that the question of the creation of a depart ment of mines and minerals in the Presi- dents cabinet will be discussed
 The convention will also discuss the matter of uniform mining laws among the various states and 1t is certain that committees will be named to call on the governors of the various states and urge them to include in their next message to the legislatures of their respective com monwealths the advisabillty of uniformity of such laws among the various states of the union. The congress will probably draft bill which each state will be asked to adopt.
 There is a movement coming to the front to make the organization strictly a business one At present delegates are named by governors, chambers of com meree, mayors, etc.. but there is a senti ment among the delegates to do away with this and have the delegates to future congresses elected by their respective state associations, thus making them all practical mining men, which is not now in every instance the case.
 Purely technical papers will only be read by caption during the progress of the con- vention, the meeting devoting it's time to the discussion of live topics of interest. and referring the papers to the official minutes for later consideration of the delegate in book form.
 Bull fights. Mexican concerts and recep- tions, trolley rides Into Mexico, an inspec- ton of the great shelter of the American Smelling company, smokers and side trips to the mining sections hereabouts will be features of the meeting.
 By far the most important amusement events of the week will be the cham pionship drilling contests, with prizes of over s2OO0 the first prize for double team being $1000 in cash. Teams from western mining states and from Mexico will com pete.
 The congress will be in session for a week. Denver is at present the strongest candidate for the next session of the con gress, although several western cities will make a fight for the gathering.

Head Ache Sometimes?

If so, it will interest you to know that it can be stopped with Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills; and without any bad after effects, and this without dan ger of forming a drug habit or having your stomach disar- ranged. They positively con- tain no opium, morphine, CO., caine, chloral, ether or chloro- form in any form. Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills relieve pain, and leave only a sense of relief. The reason for this is explained by the fact that headache comes from tired, irritable, turbulent, over-taxed brain nerves. Anti Pain Pills soothe and strength en these nerves, thus removing the cause. They arc harmless when taken as directed.
 I've use Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills for the cure of headache, and we think that therc is nothing that will equal them. They will cure the severest spell of nervous or sick headache in a very few minutes. l am of a nervous temperament, and occasionally have spells when my nerves seem to be completely exhaust ed, and I tremble so I can scarcely contain myself. At these times I al- ways take the Anti-Pain Pills, and they quiet me right away. It is re- markable what a soothing effect they have upon the nerves.

and it is still a rare article in some
of the mountain towns. In those days
a quarter was small change, and
nickels were only good to give to the
children. They were even looked up
on as pretty small for the contribu-
tlon-box. But those days have
changed.
The change was brought about mart
ly by the department stores who
thought to drive competition little
closer, but more by the winter tourist
army that annually visits the south
west. 1t is not that they are less
liberal than other people, but they use
pennies at home all the time and have
them in their pockets when they come
TO Phoenix. Though there are but
lew things advertised outside of the
dry goods line in which the penny is a
unit OF value it is always good money
at the post-ofice, and every tourist
aces business with the post-office first
and other places afterward. Instinct.
lively the pennies were offered at the
pQst-otfice and accepted without COM
ment.
That led to tne expectation of pen
MES in change, and of course thew
were provided. 1t did not take long
for many of the home people to "get
the habit" and now most anybody
can flash penny if he tries, though it
is still the habit of the old settlers to
foil iha Doctp,oc+ ~, +bo a1o,l- J. -.
the change.
That the penny is the harbinger of
the tourist, or vice versa, is proved by
the fact that in the winter time the
post-o!fice is flooded with pennies, for
the tourists leave theirs there and the
old settler, who gets them On the out
side i'll trade or any other place, offers
them to the postmaster, or gives them
to somebody else who does, when he
would not think of throwing out pen
MES anywhere else in town But in
the summer time the pennies flow out
again with the flight of the tourists,
and by midsummer the post-office has
to rustic for small change, sending to
other towns for pennies.
Tucson, it is said, does all it can to
discourage the penny, and in this
Tucson has the moral support of the
old-tinlers. 1t is related that near
the depot in Tucson is little curto
shop that lady travellers often visit
while their trains are being made up
III the yards, and that not infrequent-
ly woman will pick out a post card
or TWO and offer to pay for it in pen
MES, whereupon the dealer invariably
responds that that kind of money is
not good in that city, but if she is
anxious fer the card ne gives it to her.
1t used to be that way in Phoenix, but
it isn't any more.

CUMMINS REPLIES.
Uses Shaw's Friend as Authority for
Quotation.

Des Moines, Ia, Aug. Ex-Governor
A B. Cummlns yesterday made a reply
to an attack made upon him by Secre-
tary Shaw, who criticised him for mis-
quoting the secretary in his speech be-
fore the Chicago reciprocity conven-
ton. Governor Cummins shows that
he said the quotation was from an edi-
torial in the Des Moines Capital,
whose editor attended banquet of
Des Moines Bankers where Secretary
Shaw made the address. The editor is
warm supporter of the secretary.
Secretary Shaw's objection was TO
that portion of Governor Cummin's
speech in which the secretary was al
legged to have said in effect that the
senate failed to approve the French
treaty because it gave France every
thing and the United States nothing.
Governor Cummins gives the Capital
as his authority for the quotations, de-
claring the Capitals editor was pres
ent and heard Secretary Shaw's
speech, and insists the editor could
have been mistaken. Governor Cum
Minis says further:
when he wrote in his vivid and
striking way that You exposed the
proposed French treaty in all it's de-
formity, demonstrating that we were
offering France a tremendous bargain
and getting practically nothing in re-
turn it was not possible for me to
doubt that you had said what he i'm
pnted to you. l know that he could
easily misunderstood me, but it is in
credible that he should misunderstood
you"

OLD LINCOLN FARM SOLD.
Brings an Ordinary Price at Bank
ruptcy Sale.

Hodgenville, KY, Aug. 29.-Abraham
Lincoln's birthplace, a 11O-acre farm.
was sold yesterday at auction to R. J..
Collier of New York, represented by
E. j. McDermott, Louisville lawyer,
who probably bought as an invest
ment. The price paid for it, $500, is
not more than it would bring for
farming purposes. The property was
sold by order of the court in the bank
ruptcy case Of A. w. Dennette OF New
York, who had purchased it Is years
ago from the Creal family, into whose
hands it came at the time the Lincoln
family removed from the state.
