Increase in Copper Dividends.

The copper mines of the United States paid dividends last year ag- gregating S26,OOO,O 900. That result was reached on a 13-cent copper market. This year the average price of copper will be from two and a quarter to two and a half cents per pound higher, and this increase in price will be just so much more profit. As the mines of the United States will yield approximately 9OO,- 100000 pounds of fine copper this year, their profits, will therefore be S22, 300, 900 to S25, 1000 greater than during 1904. It thus becomes appar- ent that results have practically been attained already that warrant nearly 100 per cent increase in copper min ing dividends.-George L. Walker in Boston Commercial.

Railroad Would Ruin 100000 Acres
 of Land.

Interstate difficulties growing out of divergent interests may result between Colorado and California over the question of erecting dams across the Colorado river in Colorado for the purpose of furnishing irriga- tion for the arid lands of Colorado, Arizona and parts of California.
 The Los Angeles realty board and chamber of commerce authorized the. appointment of committees to wait upon United States Senator Flint and Congressman EcLachlan to get their support in the matter.
 It is charged that the Denver, Northwestern & Pacific railroad, bet ter known as the Moffatt road, which is now building from Denver to Salt Lake, is endeavoring through the courts of Colorado to prevent the construction of the proposed reservoirs along the Colorado river in the Grand Canyon, Browns park and northwestern Colorado, urging as a reason for so doing the railroads requirements in right of way.
 It is the contention of the local commercial bodies that the proven tion of building of the dams would destroy the irrigation plans of the government looking to the reclama- tion of about 2,OOO,OOO acres of arid lands in the southwest.

THE MONUMENTS CONTROL.
United States Land Office Now Con-
 forms to Statutes.

The United States land depart
 ment has recently rendered decision
 to the effect that in the event of any
 error in the description of any min eral claim survey, or of the line ty- ing the claim survey to a govern
 ment land survey corner, the monu- ments must control, which is quite at
 variance with the position taken by that department nearly two years ago, when there was much contro-
 versity over the subject. On April 18th, 1904, congress amended section 2733 of the statutes in such manner that this principle is clearly enun- ciated and the recent decision of the
 United States general land office re-
 ferred to is in direct line with the amendment and was no doubt in- fiuenced by it to a great extent, so
 that hereafter there need be no ap-
 prehension when an error is detected
 in the survery of a mineral claim for
 patent, as, regardless of all errors, the monuments must control. This
 was the position taken by the Mining and Scientific Press in the latter part of 1903, when the land office at
 Washington caused Consternation throughout the mining states of the west by announcing that the surveys must stand and that the 'calls'' of the United States deputy mineral surveyor must take precedence over monuments and everything else. The decision was so manifestly unjust, and so contrary to the intent and purpose of the law, that there was no hesitency in declaring even at that time that the monuments must control, and any case wherein this question was the issue the United States Supreme court would decide in favor of the claim owner and against the decision of the land of flee. So earnestly did the miners of the west take up and combat the proposition that congress quickly recognized the necessity of settling the point for all time, and amended the section bearing on the matter, as above stated, and the land office now falls in line and announces decision in exact conformity with the amend ed law.-Scientlfic Press.

Big Rock Drilling Contest.

One of the biggest miners rock drilling contests ever held in the west is planned as one of the features of the coming meeting of the Ameri- can Mining congress in Fl Paso on November II. These contests are very novel and attract the best drill CTS from the various big camps of the country and have always brought big crowds to this section whenever given. As the prizes will. be large and the best drillers will be attracted thereby, it is expected that this event alone will attract a large num- Der of people to the congress. At the last drilling contest in Fl Paso d worlds record was established, which is still unbroken.

THE CONFEDERATE mosunEsT.

The CUNFEUEhAfE MUNuWENI.
The movement to build and es-
tablish a monument at the inter
sections of Main and Market
streets is one which should ap-
peal TO the patriotic impulse and
loyal support of every citizen of
this section. It has found its
inception in the desire upon the
part of many of our people TO
honor and revere the memories
of the Lost Cause as we'll as to
beautify and adorn this lovely
city. Hundreds of other cities
in the South have enduring shafts
attesting the bravery and de-
votion and valor of the Confeder-
ate soldier. Other communities
are awakening to their seeming
neglect in this patriotic work and
are starting movements for the
building of monuments. In our
beloved State several are soon to
be unveiled and many more are
now engaging the support and
cooperation of the people of their
respective sections.
This city should build a monu-
ment which will be an honor to
the people building it and a cred
it to the cause which it is intend
ed to commemorate. This city
is rich in memories of the war.
1t played a conspicuous part in
that bloody chapter ofour nation s
history. 1t gave freely Of it's
best blood sacrificed upon the
altar Of destiny. Hundreds of
those immortals sleep peacefully
here and the good women of this
city were the first to garland the
graves of the dead Federal sol
diers, an act which was so mag
unanimous that it found respon-
sive echo in every quarter of the
country and it resulted in the es-
adjustment of one of our most
beautiful customs. Memorial Day,
which is a part of our National
life. While the graves of the
sleeping soldiers are marked
with monument at the cemetery
one should be erected in the
heart of the city.
That the movement is meeting
with liberal support and encour-
agement is shown by the amount
of popular subscriptions. The
sum amounts already to nearly
hundred dollars and a generous
citizen comes forward with an
additional Offering of five hun
dred dollars. 1t is made in the
hope that nine others will join
him in the gift of this sum and
thus the monument will be Sc
cured.
Are there not within all of the
citizens of this county nine other
men who will give this sum for
this cause ? Are the re not nine
other men in Columbus and
Lowndes county who will build
not only a monument to beautify
and adorn Columbus but who
wish to build a monument to
themselves :? Surely there are.
THE DISPATCH. If eight others
will subscribe this sum. will
agree 10 raise $4,000 for the
cause. Now let US hear from

THE STREET sPRINKLING TAX.

nGEA u EttNRLlttQ AftAs
The street sprinkliug matter
is rather a knotty problem for
the mem bers of the CITY Council
to solve and the meeting held last
Wednesday night, in which the
citizeas were invited to join, was
prolific of no tangible solution of
the trouble The more it is con
sidered the more difficulties
seem to oeset fair and equitable
adjustment of the cost of sprink
ling. Thedilemma the memb ers
of the Council placed themselves
in was in following the plan
adopted in St. Louis, Mo-, where
very different conditions prevail
ed. There the sprinkling cost is
apportioned to the property abut-
ting according to the front foot
but such a plan if enforced here
would cause great dissatisfaction.
For instance if the front foot
plan is allowed to remain the cost
will be very poorly apportioned
among property owners and
those who VIII receive the bene-
fit of this matter. A store house
on Main street valued at several
thousand dollars only twenty FIVE
feet wide would have to pay &C
cording to the contract made and
entered into the small sum of
27t cents per month for the con-
venience while a vacant square
on Main street would have to pay
the sum OF s. so per month for
the same privilege on the front
to say nothing of the additional
cost for the side streets. If an
ad Yalorem tax was esta blished
on the property enjoying sprlnk-
ling the store house property
would be equally Disseminated
against for store valued at five
or six thousand dollars would
pay more tax than in some in
stances than a whole square of
suburban realty. A general tax
for street sprinkling on the
ground that all enjoy its benefits
causes a howl to go up from the
entire com munity, many claim
ing that they derive no benefits
from such an expenditure.
The com plants and protests
which have been fled the past
week and which are causing so
much trouble. however, are only
the usual objections interposed
when municipal improvements
are made They have been regis
tered when many of the present
advantages which Columbus now
enjoys were first agitated and if
they had prevailed this place
would now be a small village in
stead of a thriving little city.
The matter will be determined
as the wisdom and intelligence Of
the Council may determine.
Other places in the State with
similar conditions have solved the
sprinkling matter to the satisfac-
ton of their people and it is re
Election upon the intelligence of
our city board to think that they
will not be able to do it. No tax
falls upon all with equal justice
and while it is the aim yeti is an
end very seldom attained. There
may be in the final disposition of
the matter. caseswhere the sprink
ling tax will work a hardship. but
these instances will be the ex-
ception and not the rule. Do the
best you can, Messrs. Council
men. The angels can do no
more.

The exposure of the methods
of the theatrical trust. which the
suit of David Belasco has
brought about, are a revelation
to the general public which is
beginning to evince an apprecia-
ton OF the difficulties under
which the dramatic business is
conducted in the present day.
A handful of men dictate absO-
lutely the policy and manage
ment of nearly every leading
playhouse in the country; they
say what com panies shall appear
therein and the terms upon which
they shall play and. further,
they. in a large measure, have a
hand in the selection of the com
panies. The people out THERON"
little know the drawbacks, obsta
cles and difficulties which sur
round and cucumber this pro-
fession and it would be good
thing all round if the trust could
be broken up and the dramatic
art placed upon basis of merit.
