presumption ia that any rope with the red

improper hands. This custom in the British
Navy has prevailed since the days OF Nelson,
or since long before that for aught know
A like means of identifying rope is en-

marked in this way and this method is
sometimes employed for marking rope used

These prices made Mr. Crawford a mil

America are now making surveys OF routes
in Bolivia and it il considered probable
that lines will be ccnstructed which will
assure through railway connection from
the southern border OF Bolivia to Lake
Titcaca on the north.
The Government of Peru has already
given the preference to the Pan-American
section from Lake Titioaca northward.
Only one link in the proposed general plan,
within the borders of Peru, remains to be
surveyed. Through railway connection be-
tween Buenos Ayres and Lima la a part of
the plan OF construction in Peru
The Chileans have projected tunnel
through the Andes Mountains in order to
ensure railway connection between Valpa
raiso and Buenos Ayres. Work on the pro-
posed railway from Guayaquil to Quito, in
Ecuador. has been resumed, and this line
will form a link in the transcontinental
line
The Republic Of Colombia has done moth
ing, but Gen. Rafael Reyes, the new Presi-
dent of the republic, has promised that some
measure Of railway construction, in general
cooperation with the transcontinental plan,
shall be attempted during his term.
1t Is generally agreed among the Central
Americans and the South American coun-
tries that the assured construction OF the
Panama Canal has proved great stimulus
to railway building in those countries.
The building Of short lines of railroad TO
connect interior points with ocean ports
Is assured in some cases. and will be en-
couraged in others to the extent that active
operations may be expected at any time
within the next few years
Engineers and surveyors have already
done much toward the thorough e1amina-
ton Of the Pan-American railway project,
and it is the belief Of those persons who are
actively identified with the scheme that
by the time the Panama Canal Is COM
pleted if not before that time, 1t Will be
possible for persons in New York or Boston
to travel all the way by rail from those cities

Coal Strike and knowledge
of Men Made This Man Rich

His answer was TO take the Questioner
into the mine, and there he visited every
chamber and in each one he called the
workers by their first names. chatted about
the work listened to complaints, adjusted
them and joked with the men. Some Of
them called him by his first name and APP
peared on terms OF intimacy and good
fellowship with him. 1t was this power
Of keeping close to the men that tied the
men 10 him.
A number Of the workmen, afraid Of the
strikers. declared that they wanted to work
but were afraid TO come to the mine and
leave it after their days work. Other
non-uuion men had been killed. Mr.. Craw-
ford at once had barracks built. secured
good cooks and fed and lodged the men at
a prios less than they would have had to
pay outside the mine property.
IN this manner and 10y his power Of gain
ing the confidence Of the men he managed
TO keep them at work and sell his coal at
$40 a ton He enabled the men 70 make
big wages and later distributed among
them bonus Of about 10000 based upon
the percentage Of the profits. One miner

The union is all right in many features,

1t was the theory he eIpounded TO his

RATHER LIKED THE HEAT
A Party of ChiCagOans Who Spent
 Two Days in the City.

Lee H. LaChance. son of MT. and Mrs. I< LaChance arrived in the city on Thursday morning after an ab- sence of four years. He was accom- panied by Messrs C. K. Stewart and T. J. Clark of Chicago. The former is an uncle of MT. La Chance and he and Mir. Clark are engaged in the manu- fracture of flexible shafting and a great variety of other machinery which is sold all over the world. MT. La Chance is the manager of the main office at Chicago where he has resided for the last two years.
 Previous to that time he had spent a great deal of time in London, Paris concern had branch houses. Those houses have now largely been sold out the business being done almost exclu- siveIy direct from Chicago.
 The coming of these gentlemen to Phoenix at a time when heat records are being smashed daily was by no means a social visit Messrs. Stewart and Clark are burdened with more money than they can profitably em- ploy in the east and they came to see if they could not find an outlet for some of it in the mines of this terri tory.

"operators," for. they say they have in a district that will skin Tonop3h to death when the right people become interested.
 The district referred to is known as PlomOsa, about twenty-six miles this side of Quartzsite and twenty-four miles from the present end of the A.
 & c. track. When that line is com
 pIeted, however, it will pass within twelve miles of the mineral ground in
 question. There are already several
 different men and groups of partners
 who have claims along this mineral
 belt, and who are doing their best to develop them without capital and
 mainly by hard work and small grub
 stakes. Among them may be mention
 ed beside the McEntee Bros. Moore x
 Lewis. Hankins, Bowse & Mahan and various others whose names the Mc- Entee Bros. could not recall on the in stant. Their purpose they said in speaking of the matter at all is merely to attract some attention to- that par ticular region for the benefit of all the prospectors interested. Some per haps desire to sell their claims while others prefer to hang on to them un- til they can increase their value by further development.
 The mineral zone or belt as they de- scribe it is in the neighborhood of thirty miles long and the greater part of the distance is covered for a width of two or three miles with an iron and
 manganese capping. There are num- erOus lodges and veins along this zone showing marvelously rich croppings and many fine assays have been se- cured from croppings. The MeEntee
 Bros. have several claims but they are only slightly developed They have a surface crOsscut of thirty-two feet and seven inches, the width of the ore for
 nation at that point. They also have a vertical shaft twenty two feet deep all in ore with no walls in evidence. The ore from this shaft is exceeding " fine, being a carbonate quartz call ed by some rose colored quartz. The
 free gold is visible in many of the
 specimens shown and the ore is surely attractive to the eye of the miner The assay value is between nineteen and twenty dollars in gold S127 in silver and a little over one per cent copper.
 the copper being of little importance at the present stage of development. They also have with them some fine specimens of the manganese capping that appear to be rich in mineral but no assay tests have been made yet
 The properties are yet only prospects but the owners are confident the con ditions are right for the development of great mines and all that is needed is development. MeE,ntee Brothers unquestionably have the ore and if their development demonstrates the quantity indicated by their present workings there ought to come a time when they wouldn't have to work.
 They say water can be had at a depth of seventy feet, judging by oth- CT watering places in that section and the surface indications though at pres ent it has to be hauled some distance.

1angements for an investment were made in a property the name of which has not been made public but which is said to be a very promising prop erty. A few thousands will be thrown in as 9 feeIer and then if indications warrant the investment will become much more extensive.
