Here is bit of advice, given by
Gov. Folk of Missouri, in an address
before a convention of retail merchants.
that may be proftably pondered on
by all concerned: I'VE are proud of
our splendid cities, and we want them
to increase in wealth and population,
and we also want our country towns to
grow. We wish the city merchants to
build up, but we also desire the coun-
try merchants to prosper. l don't be-
lieve in the mail order citizen. If a
place is good enough for man to live
in and make his money in, it is good
enough for him to spend his money.
No merchant can succeed without ad-
vertising in one way or another. Pat
ronize your town papers: build them
up and they will build the town up,
and build you up increased trade and
greater opportunities"

Meuco's Richest Don.

Gen. Luis TerraZas. whose wealth,
says w. D. Hornaday in the Pitts
burg Dispatch, is conservatively esti-
mated at 200, 1000, ,oooS, celebrated the
18th anniversary of his birth at his
palatial home in his home city of Chi
huahua few days ago. Gen. Ter
razas is by far the wealthiest man in
Mexico, and he ranks well up in the
list of wea thy men of the world.
He is said to be the largest individ-
ual land owner in the world, his vast
estates in western Mexico approx
mating more than 15,ooo,o 900 acres.
He owns several hundred thousand
head of cattle, horses, sheep and
goats. Some of the richest mines in
Mexico belong to him. He and his
son-in-law Enrique Creel, the acting
governor of Chihuahua, control the
banking business of this portion of
Mexico, and they are largely inter-
ested also in some of the big financial
institutions of Mexico City.
Three-fourths of the residences and
business houses in this city of $4,000
people are owned by Gen. Terrazas,
and he receives an enormous income
from rentals.
Most of the large industrial plants
throughout the state were established
and are owned by Gen. Terrazas and
Gov. Creel.
Despite his advanced age Gen. Ter
razas takes an active interest in his
multitudious business affairs. He de-
votes several hours each day to di-
recting the management of his vast
land estates, mines and other proper
ty. He is Injured to hardships and
privations. He recently made a
horseback journey of more than 200
miles inspecting his ranches and
farms. 1t was not an infrequent Oc-
currence while on this trip that he
spent 10 and II hours day in the sad
die. He employs many thousands of

Turning Lead Into Gold.

The ancient alchemists were not all
charlatans, writes Prof. R. A. Milli-
kan in Technical World magazine for
August. They were simply men who
were striving-most of them earnestly
and seriously-to find the secret of
producing any desired transformation
of matter. They were trying to con-
vert one substance into another by
varying the proportions of the con-
stituent elements.
Some of the ablest minds of the mid
die ages were engaged in this search.

A golden shower of a hundred and
twenty million dollars is falling upon
the Pacific Northwest. The map of
Oregon, Idaho and Washington is be-
ing changed by a new network of
black lines. To the hundreds of miles
of railway built in 1906 and thousand
will be added in 1907. and yet another
thousand in the year following.
Three great railway systems have so
planned and have made appropriations
to carry out these plans. What is the
meaning of this activity. In the an

A New Mountain Railway.


Switzerland is the home of mountain
railway. With an area not larger
than one-third of the state of New
York, there may be counted about 100
railways for the sole purpose of car
rying passengers to mountain tops
varying in height from a few hundred
to 5000 or 5000 feet. The month of
August, 1905, witnessed the opening
of way carrying tourists even far
above these attitudes, beyond the
clouds, to IO,5O0 feet: and, when COM
pleted, its highest point will reach
nearly 1900 feet above the sea-at
the top of the famous Jungfrau, the
queen of the Benner Oberland.
There are other mountain railways
on the globe attaining much higher
attitudes than even this, and on the
Ovoya railway of Peru l myself trav-
eled a considerable distance above
5000 feet: and most of these roads
were built for the development of COM
merce and mining industries. The
Swiss mountain railways, however, are
almost exclusively in the service of
tourists only, numbering in Switzer-
land alone not far from 100000 every
year. They come to admire the scenic
wonders of the little country on the
roof of Europe, or to seek shelter
hn
mountain resorts.
The majority of these mountain rail-
ways are paying investments. Switz-
erland. being country of mountains,
is consequently also a country of water
courses fed by the inexhaustible store
of snow and ice covering many square
miles Of the Alpine chains. Alaskan
ice fields are bedded in between the
peaks right in the heart of Switzer-
land. and although a great deal has
been written about the general reces-
sion of glaciers, which, in some in
stances, amounts to 100 and more feet
year for year, such losses are quite
insi gnificant compared with the enOr-
nous extent of these ice deposits. A
number of them have depths of several
thousand feet, with millions of tons of
solid, hard-frozen ice, continually sup
piled with fresh snowfalls above. They
feed Rhine and Rhone, Po and Danube,
during the dry summer months, and
the many mountain streams of Switz-
erland, forming beautiful cascades and
falls and rapids, furnish the power
which carry tourists in comfortable
railway carriages to the very tops
from which they themselves come.
They are lead to turbine-pits, drive
wheels and generators, and are thus
converted into electric power. The
Swiss, having no coal deposits of their
own. have become acknowledged ex-
perts in this branch of technical en-
gineering, furnishing turbines and
electric plants for the whole world.
Thus, for instance, the gigantic tur-
bines at Niagara Falls, many of which
generate forces of from 10000 to II, 200
horse power each, have been con-
structed almost without exception by
Swiss firms.-Ernest Won Hesse Wart-
egg, in June Century.

A PROCLAMATION.
BY THE GOVERNOR OF ARIzoN

BY THE GOVERNOR OF ARIZONA.
OF an Order for an Election for Vot-
ing for Delegates to Proposed Con-
vention for the Formation of a Con-
stitution for the Proposed State of
Arizona to be Composed of New
Mexico and Arizona as now Consti-
tuted, and to Vote Upon the Ques-
tion of the proposed Jointure.
To the Qualified Electors of the Ter
ritory of Arizona, and to Whomso-
ever Else it may Concern:
KNOW YE: That heretofore, to-wit:
on the fourteenth day of July, 1906, by
virtue and direction of, and in accord
ance with, the provisions of an act of
Congress entitled:
San Act To enable the people of
Oklahoma and of the Indian Territory
to form constitution and State gov
ernment and be admitted into the
Union on an equal footing with the or
iginal States; and to enable the people
of New Mexico and of Arizona to form
a constitution and State government
and be admitted into the Union on an
equal footing with the original States, y
approved June 16, 1906,
the Governor, the Chief Justice, and
the Secretary of the Territory of Ari-
zona apportioned the A delegates pro-
posed under the provisions of said act
of Congress to be elected from Arizo,
ma, who, together with the 66 dele.
gates proposed to be elected from New
Mexico, may constitute a convention
for said Territories of New Mexico

ing Council Crest and all the lower
ridges. For this era of railway con-
struction is a result, not a cause, and
the cause creating railways is build

Dean Brothers & Taylor, of Silver
King, have started 5OO-foot tunnel
on their mining property, situated 4
short distance southwest of the old
Silver King mine, this county. This
tunnel will cross-cut three parallel
veins, the first one at a depth of 80
feet, the second one at a depth of 325
feet and the Bird one at a depth of $50
feet. This tunnel will pass $50 feet
below the bottom of the present work
ings of the mines, and the boys hope
they will strike sufficient water in
this tunnel TO supply a milling plant.
If they should strike a sufficient vol
ume of water to meet the require
ments of mill, they will install a
plant to treat the ores not rich enough
to ship at profit. They have now on
the dump large amount of ore that
could be milled on the ground at a
profit. When they get their new tun-
mel completed they will be in a posi-
tion to extract ore rapidly and eco
nomically, from six drifts run out on
the veins from either side of the tun-
mel and will have an immense amount
of stoping ground above them. We
are informed by miners who have
worked on this property that it has all
the earmarks of a great producer and
that the Dean Bros. & Taylor are
prospecting and developing it in the
most intelligent and workmanlike
Florence Blade.

Roger, Bach, SpinoZa, Luther, and
Liebnitz all believed in the philos-
ophers' stone and in the transmuta-
tion of the metals.
What does modern science have to
say on this subject? To the question,
Are the elements transmutable in
the laboratories of nature?" we may
return the answer that certain of
them at least are transmutable, and it
is probable that in natures laborator-
les all of them are being produced
from some simple primordial stuff.
1t seems probable also that the
Universal Solvent which will pro-
duce this transmutation, and which is
perhaps producing it now in the stars,
is temperature. But unfortunately,
the temperatures required to produce
these changes are probably forever
beyond mans reach.
But if the secret of this transforma-
tion should ever be found, we would
be able to unlock almost infinite stores
of energy which we now know to be
wrapped up in the atoms of the ele-
ments.
Should man ever be able to unlock
this energy, he would doubtless look
back upon the day in which his pro-
genitors burned coal to warm their
houses and to drive their engines,
with the same curiosity and pity with
which we look back upon the day
when our naked ancestors plowed their
fields with a crooked stick, and lit
their fires with the spark from flint.

CITY NOTES.,

The Colored Catholic society, which
organized on March 20. 1906, under the
name of Negro Catholic Missionary
Lyceum, has changed its name to st.
Benedict's COlored Roman Catholic
Mission society. We did not think
"lyceum" appropriate for the work we
were doing, so that was why the change
was brought about. The changing OF
the name of our society caused Di.
Joseph W Bailey and wife. also his
sister. Mrs. Anderson and husband, to
leave our society and organize one OF
their own, which is called Negro Cath
olic Mission lyceum, The St Bene-
diets Colored Roman Catholic Mission
society met at the home Of Mrs. Scott
the last meeting, May %, 1906. There
were twenty-five present and one new
member accepted. Our next meeting
was held Wednesday, at the residence
