ARIz. IS SECOND ALONE ID
 MONTANA
Leads All Other States in Her Production of Mineral
 Wealth.

While most ATizonans are aware that Arizona stands second in the list of rich copper producers in the union, a great many are proDably not famil- far with the fact that in total mining wealth Arizona also ranks second only to Montana. and pronounced about s10.- 000.000 Bore from her mines last year than Colorado. about double as much as was produced in California, s12,000,- GOO more than Michigan.
 California nd Colorado are the rich est gold producing states in the union and many one would answer without hesitancy if asked what is the richest mining state in the union. California .or Colorado
 John e. A. King who takes as much interest in the territory and especial ly her mines, as any other man in it, has been doing little figuring lately Arizona mines produced s44,609, ,000 last year; Michigan produced s34,750,. GOO. Colorado. s34 ,339 900 and Califor- mia s21, ,GS2,00O Arizona produced rlore copper alone than any of the oth CT states produced from all their mines with total of S39, ,035, 900. Ari zona produced S5,5O0,000 in gold and silver s2.O74,000
 Michigan produced s34,699.000 ir copper and s77.O0O in silver. Colorado mines yielded up s25,333. 900 in gold ! s7,750,0 900 in copper and s1.256,00O ir silver, while California produced S17, 5c2.000 in gold; S3,145,000 in copper end s535.000 in silver.
 1 It will be seen that the value of the | copper produced in Arizona was more than the combined wealth produced I by the famous gold mining states o California and Colorado, and wa'
 mere than twice as much as the com
 bined silver and copper production ot the two states put together.
 These figures, in face of the fac that Arizona's mines are in the infan
 cy of their development, recalled tt
 Mir King the prediction made to hin
 a couple of years ago by Colorado
 miring man who has tramped anC
 ridden over the mineral land of tb'
 whole continent. He said that wheI
 Arizona was developed as extensivel,
 as Colorado, she would be the fore most of all the mining states of tin
 land. not excepting Montana, whicl
 last year produced s52.000.000 wort
 of copper alone. She would be so ia
 ahead of them that this territory
 wealth would stagger the world. Hi prediction was made after tTi
 through a considerable portion of tn . territory.

Italian Train Brigand.

One of the most remarkable feat
ures of the widely organized system
of train robberies in Italy has been
the impunity with which they have
long been committed. The police,
however, have at last succeeded in
striking a blow which If properly fol-
lowed up may for a time cripple the
brigands, says the London Globe.
On no line of railway has the pillag-
ing of passengers baggage been more
persistent than on the Rome-Naples
line in the touring season. At last,
however, the head center and organ
izer of the band has been arrested.
He is Sicilian known among his
confederates as La China" He is
keen and daring, and his band have
even had the audacity and the ad-
dress to rob the Prefect of Reggie di
Calabria himself during his railway
travelling.
La China" is a man with many
aliases, and has had many convictions
recorded against him.

UPRIGHT DESKS IN VOGUE.
More and More Persons stand When
Reading or Writing.


Upright reading desks are constant
ly growing in popularity. Unlike or
binary desks, they are usually fitted
to their users. They are comfortable
only when they are the proper height.
Contrary to what one might think,
reading while on ones feet is not tir-
ing. 1t has been adopted chiefly by
persons who are compelled to sit at
a desk much of their time and like to
stand up for a change. Writing is
just as easily accomplished at these
desks.
We've sold a great many such
desks to lawyers dealer told New
York Sun reporter, and they use
them at home This gives some relax
alton after they have sat all day in
their Offices at ordinary desks, lean
ing over in the way men do.
Lawyers more than any other class
of men are also compelled to read at
night They are my best customers
for the upright desks, although l sell
them as we'll to architects.
1.-The men who use them are always
enthusiastic They say that to stand
up at their work less fatiguing than
to sit down and is in any case great
relief from the monotony of the other
attitude

FIREMEN'S BALL
One Of the Most Successful Balls
Ever Given In the City by the
Fire Ladies'.

For twenty-five years the Fire De-
partmeDt of Sauk Centre have giver
a grand ball on Thanksgiving night,
and each year it has been their aim to
make the occasion a bigger success
than the year before.
Last Thursday night was the ban
ner. 1t was by far the most success
ful ball ever given by the department.
The city hall has been completely
renodeled, and is one of the largest
west of the twin cities. 1t is most
conveniently arranged. The decora-
tions are artistic, the colorings are
just suited for the size of the hall,
and when lighted on Thanksgiving
night with an audience of over three
hundred it presented a grand sight.
To the city council is due the credit
for the beautiful hall.
The Symphony orchestra furnished
the music, and it was the best kind
OF dance music. The orchestra was
Laost obliging, and responded to en-
cores-and there we're many. 1t is
not saying too much when you say
the Symphony orchestra is one of the
best in the Northwest. Everybody
had a good time. The department is
grateful for the big turn out-they
deserved it, and they got it.
The supper served by the ladies
society of Our Lady of the Angels
was most sumptiops affair
and was crowded during the serving
hours.
There was two hundred fifty tickets
sold for the dance. Now hustle and
beat it in 1907 if you can.
