ORvlLLE FULMER. SECRETARY.

ment, the Burlington railway mail
clerks. 100 in number, are signing a
petition addressed to the postmaster
general asking that many evils of the
service be remedied. They ask the
following changes:
That the government comply with
the eight-hour law in the postal SER
vice.
That the clerks be allowed to hire
substitutes, as was the custom before
recent rulings.
That the system Of fines be abolished
That a number of other restrictions
be removed.
That the salaries of the clerks be put
on an equal basis with those of Gem
mercial lines Of the same parallel.
The most important point in the Pc
tition Is the last provision The clerks
state that they are not receiving the
money they would if they engaged in
other lines and that promotion is re-
stricted in various ways. The clerks
risk their lives on every run and they
are constantly required to study in or
der to keep up with the advancement
of the service 1t is a school and eX-
aminations are required every six
months. In view of this, the money
consideration should be greater, they
say.
Fixed Compensation.
Each clerk receives certain com.
pensation for his work. He has GER
tain run. Should train be eight
hours late in arriving at its destina
ton, the clerk is required to remain
on duty the extra eight hours without
additional pay. Around there
there are a number of trains that are
late frequently, SO the clerks are work
ing overtime on every run, and this
they declare is an imposition. If the
eight-hour law is complied with, the
clerk would either be relieved at the
end of that period Of time or receive
pay for the service he puts in at the
expiration of his eight hours.
The Burlington clerks are Joining il
the movement which will be genera
all over the United States, and it il
probable that some improvement viii
result from their petitions. There Is ;
law which prohibits government EN-
ployes petitioning congress for rais'
in salary, but the papers are being ad
dressed to the postmaster general ant
are legal.
Railway mall clerks salaries ar
i divided into a number of classes. TIL
lowest grade receive $3.50 year an
SO on up to $780, The highest sa
airy they can climb to is $1,000.

CHINESE EAGER FOR SHARES
 IN CoNTEMpLRTEp RAILWAY

Canton, Mar. 20.-The rush of ap- nlications for shares Of the Canton Hankow Railway, issued today, was so great that the streets were blocked with Chinese. and soldiers were called out to maintain order.
 The concession of the Canton-Han- kow Railway was originally Ameri- can. Eventually the Chinese Govern nlent cancelled the rights and con sessions of the corporation, paying to the owners as an indemnity for them the sum Of s6,750,000.
 The road was to be about POO miles long with an extension 10 Pekin of about 1.400 miles, making total of 2,600 miles.
 The acquisition of the concession by China came about through the op- position of the Chinese to the, enter prise being, i- fa-"ic1 hands. ..
 The hostile feeling was not confined to the ignorant classes. but was shared by Chinese capitalists, who were in terested in the earnings of Chinese railways.

AN IRON FENCE
 FOR CEMETERY Colonel Greene'S Generosity Helps te Make if
 Possible a

Bisbee's cemetery is to be inclosed with an iron fence. set in concrete foundations, at an estimated cost or s7,e00, according to the plans put under way at a meeting of the cem- etery committee, held last evening at the office Of J. J. Bowen-
 The present committee, which has charge of Evergreen cemetery, is composed of one member represent ing each local lodge in the city, as follows: J. J. Bowen, Elks; A. T.. Sowle, Red Men; l.. A. Brown. Eagles; Lee Hanley, Fraternal Brotherhood; Richard Humphrey, Odd Fellows; Lewis Hunt. A. 0. U. W; Walter Hubbard, Masous; Harry Aiken, Knights of Rythias.
 The committee has been seriously handicapped for funds in the past, but notwithstanding this fact, has been able to make start in the way of beautifyirg the cemetery grounds, and with the monthly renittances Of s from each fraterna order, has been able 10 accumulate a small sur plus
 The enclosing of the cemetery grounds with an appropriate fence has been assured through the assist ance of Vim. C. Greene, who, when the committee was first organized, sent his personal check for $500, and while passing through Bisbee a few days ago, notified Chairman Sowle that he would donate the fence, de- livered in Bisbee, if the committee would guar sntee its erection. It is estimated that the fence will cost in the neighborhood of s5,50o fob. Bisbee. and the expense Of haul ing and erection will amount to prac- ticslly 5000. h addition, the com
 mittee hopes tha- through the assist ance which they will receive from other individuals and from the min ing companies and Board of Supervis. DTS and City Council, that the plans for beautifying the grounds may 5e carried out aU the same time. The comn!Tte for the purpose of ] soliciting funds consists of Lewis | Hunt, A. W. Sowle and J. ]. Bowen | and the committee will begin its work l this morning. Any individual desiring 10 contribute 10 this fund can leave money wl4 any. member of the com | mittee.
 The oroer for the fence will be
 placed today as per the wishes of Nil
 Greene. and it devolves upon the peo
 pie of Bisbee to come forward gea. erously in this iaudable undertaking of the cemetery committee. os z-'

ARIZONA COPPER COMPANY.

London advices say that the Ari- zona Copper company, at its annual meeting held in Quons hall, Edin- burg, this week, reelected Alexander Macnab and Colonel J. Bald Harvey to the. board of directors. John Gill, the chairman of the company, reported the business of the corporation in very satisfactory shape. notwithstanding the fact that the floods of last spring did much damage to the company s property, which is at Clifton, Arizona, and cut down profits for the year. Mir. Gill, in his report, said:
 "Fortunatly the Arizona company has long ago surmounted all it's finan- eisls difficulties. In reviewing the operations for the last year may re hind you that we had series of noods at the beginning of the year, ia January, February and March. v'hic.l caused serious loss and very serious Interruptions 10 our produc- ton
 The actual loss was upward of 24 900 pounds sterling, and, in aa- dition, the loss caused by stoppages and interruptions to our works must have been very much more than that.
 ''I count that the shareholders have lost in dividends. by the exceptional conditions of last year. at least nine pence a share. I am confirmed in this opinion by this, that the average price of copper received by us during the year was at least nine pounds sterling per American ton above the price of the previous year.n

New Mexico and Arizona have no hope of securing single statehood at the present time. The signs are now looking favorable for great democratic victory in 1908, and in that event both New
 Mexico and Arizona will be given their statehood rights.

ARIzoNA,s PROSPERITY.

The present year promises to be the most prosperous of any in the history of Arizona Evidence of this splendid condition comes from every section of the territory, and the pros perity is not confined to any indus splendid rains of the past year have put the agricultural industry at the zenith of it's prosperity, and will en- able the farmers to plant every acre under a ditch in every section of the territory and harvest unusual crops during the season. The same cause will continue the prosperity of the cattle industry.
 AS to the mines, they are yielding more ore than ever before, and es- pecially in the copper industry many new enterprises have been put in ope- ration to swell the output of that metal during the year Additional men are being given work in every mining district in the territory. and the splendid price of copper is stim- ulating capital to seek additional in vestments in our mineral hills. The expansion of the mineral industry is calling for new lines of railroads in many sections of the territory. In Pinal county and in the coal fields in Graham county a large and rich min eral section will be brought into de- velopment and prominence by the construction of the Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific up the Gila from Florence to San Carlos. At Clifton all the old producing companies are | enlarging their plants, which will ma. terially increase the output during ! the present year. The same is true at Globe. At Imperial plans are re, ported to be now under way for a copper reduction plant and as ore 1 shipments from that camp have been
 constant for more than year to the
 shelter in this city there is no doubt | that Imperial will become another
 great copper camp, such as those
 which have made Arizona famous the
 worli over
 In Cochise county there is constant
 advancement in the mining industry
 The smelting plants in Douglas art beth being enlarged as fast as mate
 sisl can be secured and put together
 No sooner has one enlargement beeg
 completed than something edditiona
 and larger is announced as coming up The enlargement of the smelters iE
 this city means the employment ot
 additional miners at Bisbee and the
 other camps which ship ore here fol
 reduction. The additions planned fol
 the Copper Queen and Calumet Arizona smelters in Douglas for com pletion during this year will require probably 1500 tons of ore in addition
 to what is consumed daily here
 now.. It is estimated that in the War
 ren district the average product oi
 ore by the miners amounts to about
 one ton of ore to the man employed
 in the mine, thus it will be seen that
 this camp will have a large addition
 to its pay rolls before the end ot 1906.
 l The pace being made by the Ari zona mineral industry is being almost
 duplicated in Sonora and all this adds
 and will continue to add to the pros,
 perity of this territory, and those
 who have cast their lot in it.
