Precipitation Plant Nears Completion.

At the Copper Queen mines, daily
improvements have been so much in
the routine of things that notice is
seldom taken beyond the mere re-
mark that so and so is being done.
To the newcomer it cannot but be
impressing to note the constant en-
deavor of the old company to create
new ways and devices whereby a
greater saving of values may be
secured.
The week just past marks the
practical completion of the new, big
precipitation plant erected on the
site of the old converters. The pre-
cipitator covers practically the same
ground where the converters use to
stand, and every drop of water
pumped to the surface from the un-
foreground workings of the Queen is
run through the maze of troughs and
over metal which is intended to
catch such copper as remains in free
solution. The. company is negotia-
ting for the delivery of all old tin
cans and metal rubbish and is daily
receiving wagonloads of the stuff
from the general cleanup going on
at Lowell
Then, at the Stag dumps, both the
older dump below the trestle and
fronting on Naco road, as well as the
converter dump, work is being pushed
with even more alacrity than ever to
increase the shipments of Stag
worked through the reduction pro-
cess for years back, and from which
it has been demonstrated tibet mat
ter representing 6 per cent. of the
dumps can be smelted. Each day
finds thirteen to fourteen cars being
shipped to the Douglas smelters of
the company from TIE lower dump,
while the converter dump is now
contributing daily two and three
cars.-Review.

ORIGIN OF WOMAN.
HindOO Legend Which Pays a Rare Com
pliment to the Feminine Sex.

In oriental countries women are
generally regarded as the interiors
of men, yet, according to a Hindoo
legend, this is the proper oEigin of
the sex: Twashtri, the God Vulcan
of the Hindoo mythology, created
the world. But on his commencing
to create woman he discovered that
with man he had exhausted all his
creative material, and that not one
solid element had been left. This,
of course, greatly perplexed Twash-
tri, and caused him to tall in pro-
found meditation. When he arose
from it he proceeded as follows; He
took the roundness of the moon, the
undulating curves of the serpent,
the graceful twist of the creeping
plant, the light shivering of the
grass blade and the tenderness of
the willow, the yelvety softness of
the flowers, the lightness of the
feather, the gentle gaze of the doe,
the frolicsomeness of the dancing
sunbeam, the tears of the clouds, the
Inconsistency of the wind, the timid-
ness of the hare and the vanity of
the peacock, the hardness of the
diamond, the sweetness of honey, the
cruelty of the tiger, the heat of the
fire and the chill of the snow, the
cackling of the parrot and the COO
ing of the turtledove. All these he
mixed together and formed woman.
Then he presented her to the man.

Copper Share Dividends on the Increase.

Three of the five largest dividend
paying copper companies in this
country have declared their quar-
terly dividends during the past week;
two of them have authorized in
creases.
The Calumet & Arizona distribu-
tion will be So per share, so cents
more than was paid three months
ago, and 81 more than a year ago.
With the payment of this dividend
there will have been divided among
the stockholders 81 800, 900, an amount
equal to 23 times the capitalization,
all distributed within three and one
half years after beginning produc-
ton.
The Calumet & Hecla dividend of
S15 is the same as the last and is S.
more than was paid year ago. 1t
is little strange that the stock of
the oldest dividend paying company,
with one exception, should be selling
at such a price as to yield 8.5 per
cent. and to be earning Ii per cent.
on that price.
The North Butte quarterly divi-
dend of 81 is the fourth paid by that
company, the initial distribution of
so cents having been paid in Septem-
Der, 1905, followed by 10 cents in
December and $1.25 in March. AL
though this latest dividend is an in
creasese of Is cents it is in line with
the constructive policy of the man
agement, as it puts the stock on an
SO basis, whereas the company is
earning Sl3.
The Old Dominion company has
also declared a dividend of so cents
the same as paid last December.
This is simply the result of $3.50
dividend paid by the United Globe
company, and does not represent any
of the earning power of the Old Do
minion mine proper.

The investigation made by the
grand jury at Springfield, Missouri,
of the lynching of three negroes in
that city several weeks ago has
revealed the horrible fact that it
would have been impossible for the
negroes who were hung to have
committed the crime for which they
paid the penalty, without the for
mality of Judge or jury. The inves-
tigation also disclose the fact that
there was grave doubt as to whether
the woman who claimed to have
been assaulted was molested by
anyone. Her character was shown
to have been that of a lewd woman.
The grand jury returned twenty
two indictments against parties al
legged to have been implicated in the
mob execution of the negroes. I'm

will be no sign of weakening now

Mancuyers Without Signals.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 1.-THE
plans for the extensive maneuvers of
the North Atlantic fleet are almost
completed. Before fall admiral Ev-
ans viii have a fleet of IS battleships.
which will be the largest fleet Of ef-
fective vessels ever assembled at one
time by the United States. A new
feature is to be introduced in the
maneuvers this year, and the ships
are to practice evolutions without s'g-
nails, in order to meet emergencies in
battle. when, owing to smoke or when
signal apparatus has been shot away,
signals can no longer be given. While
it is regarded as somewhat hazardous
TO maneuver the big battleships with
out signals, it is thought necessary to
have the officers familiar with this
duty.

COUNTY OWNS VALUABLE RELIC.
Walla Walla Has $500 Invested i'm
Scales and Measures.

For 16 years there has stood in the
corner of the county auditors office,
$500 worth of scales and measures,
and they have never been used during
this period, says the Walla Walla Bull
letin. The articles were obtained by
Walla Walla county following the
meeting of the state legislature 16
years ago, and when the law requir-
ing each county to equip itself with
the measures for use in checking
those used by business men, was
passed.
Although the law was placed on the
statute books and still adorns them,
the state has never passed a bill ap-
propriating money for the secretary
of state to hire a deputy to keep the
weights standardized, and the in
struments are now as unreliable as
no care and disuse can make them.

BARGAIN SALE OF ISLANDS.
Yates Acquired Three Hundred
Through q Lottery.

Watertown, y. Y, Aug. l1.-Three
hundred of the islands in the st. Law
renee river, which were won by the
late Henry Yates in the lottery which
was conducted for the benefit of the
colleges Of the United States. and
which was managed by the Rev. DR..
Ellphalet Mott, the first president of
Union college. Archibald McIntyre
and Henry Yates. then a resident of
Schenectady, will be sold here at auc-
ton this afternoon. 1t is expected
that about $4,000 will be realized
from that sale.
Henry Yates was a notable charac-
ter during his residence in Schenecta-
dy. He became immensely rich as the
result of the lottery, and the islands
were a portion of the property he ac-
quired. He lived in Schenectady until
about 1S47, when he went to Albany
to reside. He lived at the latter place
to the time of his death. He was a
brother Of war Governor Yates and
was at one time United States sem
ator from this state.
The islands which are to be sold
vary in size from about 30 acres to
small pieces of land hardly so feet
long. There has been a demand for
their sale and it was decided to sell
them at auction. There are about 20
heirs to the Yates estate, among whom
is Bishop Satterlee OF Washington.

The Boise Statesman tells the latest
developments of the work undertaken
by Boise for the entertainment of the
Irrigation congress of September 3S:
The local board of control of the
National Irrigation congress has just
adopted a new plan for the systema-
tizing OF the work of that organiza-
ton in connection with the coming
session of the congress, which prom
ises to be much more satisfactory
than the former method OF having no
head to any phase of the work be-
tween meetings OF the board.
The plan, in brief, is to have one
member of the board of control
placed at the head of some one branch
of the work of preparing for and en-
tertaining the many thousands of vis-
itors to the congress. In THIS way
things can be accomplished between
meetings of the general body, which
could not be under the method for
merly in vogue.
The work has been divided into nine
departments, and one member of the
board of control placed In charge of
the work in each department. Each
| committeeman is to sub-divide his
work and place as many assistants in
charge as may be necessary to prop
erly carry out the plan. All these de-
partment heads are to report to John
Mcmillan. who, as chairman of the
| board of control, will have general
charge of the work of preparing for
the congress.
This arrangement. 1t is believed
will take much of the work and re-
sponsibility of the local arrangements
from the officials of the executive
committee, giving them time to plan
larger and better things for the con-
gress in the matter of program and
general publicity.
The heads of the various depart
ments of work in the board OF con-
troll have been appointed as follows:
| General chairman-John Mcmillan
Finance. b. HURT.
Publicity. II. Hutchinson.
Music-BishOp A. ]. Glorieux.
Entertainment-Ca Cobb, to-
gether with Executive Chairman
Gwinn.
, Decorations-C. C. Anderson.
Information bureau-W. T. Booth.
Trains-Leo p. Grunbaum.
Grounds and arrangements-Josep
Perrault.
Premiums, contests, etc.-Edgar
Wilson.
Each of these chairmen is to make
careful estimate of the amount of
money that will be necessary to ex-
pend in his department, and a reca-
pitulation will be made within few
days to ascertain IL the amount esti-
mated to be required will come with
in the means at the disposal of the
board of control for the entertain
ment of the congress.
