Steel Trust Proanerlna.

Naturally when the great prosperity which is now evident in the iron and steel market Is considered, the mind turns to the mammoth of all corporations the United States Steel corporation. All re- ports regarding this company indicate that 1t is doing the greatest business since It's organization and It's earnings for the current quarter are likely to surpass those of any quarter on record. Wall street insists in spite of efforts from seml-official sources, to throw cold water on the subject, that the corporation must, within a very short period, resume divi- dends on It's common stock. It is doubtful, however, if this will be done within the next twelve months, but if the present rate of earnings continues, 1t is fore- gone conclusion that the common stock holders will begin a elamor for a share of surplus distributions which ever the hardhearted directors will feel compelled to listen to.

Copper Situation.

The conditions surrounding the Amal- gamated Copper company are almost TO- mantle, as is often the case in mining propositions. In the first place 1t is re- yelling in metal market, which was not dreamed of year ago. It finds ready sale for its entire output for three and four months in advance at 10 to 20 cents per pound, whereas a year ago it con graduated itself on obtaining 15 cents a pound. Of course, the additional profits are swelling its net income to enormous proportions. In addition to this the recent rich ore strikes in the lower levels of both the Anaconda and the Boston and Montana mines insure 1t continuous and heavy output for years to come, whereas a few months ago 1t was feared that the ore bodies would practically run out below the 15O0 foot levels. Now 1t ap- pears that the ore Is in larger bodies and richer in quantity below the 1500 foot levels than in the upper workings. The Amalgamated Copper company will hold It's dividend meeting on January 1S We can state, with almost positive assurance, that It will at that time declare a divi- dend of one and one-half per cent for the quarter, or at the rate of 6 per cent per annum, In advance in the dividend rate of 1 per cent. per annum. While many enthusiastic shareholders have been cajoling themselves with the idea that not only would the regular dividend be increased as aforesaid, but that they would also be allotted something In the way of an extra dividend. It is a case of
 the wish being father to the thought" There Is. so far as can be learned, no probability of any extra dividend being declared at this time, although the com pany could easily make such distribu- ton if 1t thought thus advisable. But the management has become wiser with experience. and proposes to hug its sur- plus until 1t nas an amount on hand that will insure it against any possible lean periods that may intervene between the fat ones In the future.

Comina Industrlals.

Among the industrials which are likely to be heard from to greater extent in the near future are the Distilllng Securi- ties company and the International Pa per company The former. while paying per cent dividend. is still selling for only slightly above $50 per share. Us conditions mad prospects have not been fully comprehended by the general pub lie. but lately a better knowledge or It's affairs has been disseminated and both investors and speculators regard it with much greater favor than heretofore. The company's earnings have been steadily increasing for several years and 1t has been plling up surplus over and above it's dividends which is beginning to make a most satisfactory showing. Incident ally its prospects for increased business are improving at rate undreamed or few months ago.
 International Paper has long caused considerable wonderment in the street because of It's unexplainable sluggishness in the market. The preferred stock has an unbroken dividend record at the rate of per cent since its organization, near ly nine years ago. and for the past SIX years the company has earned sur plus over and above it's preferred divi- dend equal to per cent on the common stock every year and several years as much as to 8 per cent. This surplus q,as been consistently diverted from divi- dend purposes to Improvements and en- Engagements, but it is believed that fur ther extraordinary disbursements In that line are unnecessary and there is a well defined movement on foot to induce the management to begin dividends on the common stock. The earnings of the com pany for the five months of the fiscal year would indicate that the surplus for the year, after all charges and the dividend on preferred will amount to considerably more than $1,000,000, whereas the amount required for per cent dividend on the common stock would be less than $500.000.

Southern Iron Merger.

The southern iron situation continues one of the interesting features in the in- dustrial world. That merger of the Republic Iron and Steel and the Tennes- see Coal and Iron companies and several other southern coal and iron properties is now being considered Is an admitted fact by the Schley-Gates- Hanna inter ests. How far these details have been completed for this merger have not yet been made public. But that a compre- hensive plan is under way stands to req son, for the controlling interests are keen. long-headed and financially able to carry out any scheme to which they may lend their name or influence. A Among the reports current is one that the com mon stock of the Tennessee coal and Iron company will be retired at sl5o per share. for which there will be Issued 41k

AN INAOVERTENCE

TAiN llNFN -tN EiH - III A'tAANAeAs mornings issue of The Republican, mention was made of the visit of sever al gentlemen to the head of the Appro- priator's canal and what they found there. It was inadvertently stated that from 1900 to 400 inches of water was running in that canal. What was in tended to be said was twelve to four teen thousand inches.
 VISITING RAILROAD MEN.-The Souther Pacific officials who have been touring the territory for several days past, returned to Phoenix yesterday morning from Castle Creek, where they had spent Saturday. Yesterday they spent in their private car and left last evening for the south. The members of the party are R. H. Ingram of Los Angeles, W. A. McGovern of Tucson, and Col. Banning of the Banning com pany at Catalina.

 two houses. which belong to MT. Camp bell and MT. Francis of Flagstaff. will at once be furnished. but will not be occupied until winter.
 A THEFT AND A DISAPPEAR ANCE.-The police of the city are looking for an Indian boy who Is sus- pected of having stolen a revolver from one of the local hotels. The boy had been employed to do sweeping about the house. and shortly after he had begun his work, he disappeared. It was later learned that a revolver was missing from one of the rooms on the floor where he had been at work and his mysterious disappearance was at once coupled with the theft. A search of the pawn shops was made but the gun has not been recovered.
 RElNCARNATION. - Rather an amusing thing occurred in Prescott. Saturday, on the occasion of the visit of the Fountain Juvenile band of this city. One of the members is GeOrgie Lount son of MT. and Mrs w. E. Lount Of this city. and the amusing incident was fine press notice the lad receiv- ed through the cOnfounding of his name with that of another by a news paper reporter who had not always lived in Prescott, and who tried to make very interesting local story out of a limited number of facts. The reporter had been told that George Lount was once a resident of Prescott so after saying a lot of complimentary things about the young mans musical accomplishments he proceeded 10 claim the boy as a Prescott product, a genius of which the city might we'll be proud. Those who had lived longer in Prescott happened to know that the George Lount of other days was a brother of this boys grandfather, that he died many years ago. and that if he were still living he would be somewhere in the neighbOrhood of eighty years old, or somewhat past the age from which Prof Fountain draws new re- cruits for his Juvenile Band.

Christmas Presents That VIII Make
Their Rooms Attractive.
At Christmas there are many girls
who want to give college men some
thing for their rooms, but when 1t
comes to a selection Of a suitable gift
their troubles begin. A novelty in this
line was given a Columbia university
man recently-a photograph holder
made of the college colors. 1t was
about three feet long and eight inches
wide, formed by two long strips OF
light blue and white (the college cOlors)
brocade overlapping. Across it at in
tervals Of ten inches were pockets
three inches deep made Of the same
brocade. The case was tackled to the
wall by a rosette of blue and white.
For a Princeton man the colors would
be orange and black and Yale mans
blue. Plain satin might be used in
stead Of brocade.

ing small and select teas is quite well

NOVEL LAUNDRY BAG.
Christmas Gift That the Orderly
Housewife Will Appreciate.

Housewife Will Appreciate.
A novel laundry bag convenient and
easily made has just appeared. 1t has
two compartments, is fat and does not
draw up like other receptacles for this
purpose. To make this useful con-
trivance, two pieces of any desired
material, as denim, cretonne, chintz or
Bingham, not necessarily alike if they
will contrast well, are cut to form
bag, except that one piece is cut four
inches longer than the other and Is
then slanted off to a point, this extern
sion much resembling the flap of an
envelope, and coming at the bottom OF
the bag. A third piece of white muslin
is cut the same size as the part without
the extension, and is placed between
the two colored portions.
The bag has no mouth, as it is under
stood, the even edges of the three parts
being basteG together, then bound with
a braid or ribbon, sewing up wha:
would ordinarily be the mouth Of the
bag. The sides are then bound, taking
in the three straight edges, and, lastly.
the flap is bound. About three inches
below the top Of the bag a couple OF
rows of stitching are taken about an
inch apart forming runner, anc
through this is run a short length Of a
wooden latr, acting like draw string
lust below this runner in the center a
vertical slit is cut on the two COZ
ored pieces, which must also be bound
on their edges. Through these the
soiled clothes are slipped. Then the
dap is brought upward in the same
way as you would seal an envelope
were it inherited, and is secured by
buttons and buttonholes, one on each
corner of the flap. A cord is fastened
at each enc of the lath and forms a
hanger. You will now discover the
bag to be really two bags, the white
intersection forming partition.
When it is desired to remove the coz
tents of the bag all that is necessary Il
to open the 1aps, and everything imme-
diately drops out-no pulling or tug
ging at draw strings, either in filing or
emptying. the Sits are most convex
iently placed for slipping things into
quickly. and only moment Is con-
sumed in releasing the flaps, revealing

beads, for not only beaded fringes. but
whole shades made of tiny beads, have
been universally seen. The reaction.
however, seems to be by no means
complete, for beads are still very much
in evidence. Many Of the shades of
metal are finished with bead fringes
that match the silk lining in color,
while Ot-.ers are simply cut in rather
deep points FL have no trimming at
the lower edge.
In spite of beads and metals, how
ever, the candle shade of the fluffy
"frilly'' variety still obtains, and silks
and ribbons and even tulle combine to
make the daintiest shades imaginable.

Leather Chair Cushion.
A thing which every girl can make
herself is a chair cushiOn-nOt the en-
broidered kind at which the masculine
mind SCOTS, but one of leather. Mis-
sion furniture and other heavy types
abound in college rooms, and even for
team" backs they may be safely sof-
tened. These cushions should be made
of oo7e or other soft feathers. They
are cut almost square and are the size
of the chair seat and back. They are
stuffed with hair or down to the thick
ness of not more than two inches.
Leather tabs should be put at the cor
ners by which to fasten the cushions.
Then there is always desk to be
furnished If girl has sufficient senti-
ment to wish to make something she
can keep her gift quite on the mascu-
line order. Letter racks of wood may
be bought and covered with fine French
tapestry pasted on and finished with
narrow gilt braid. A portfolio cover of
soft leather is also serviceable, and
clock case is not as expensive as 1t
sounds. A clock that will keep good
time may be bought for So, and the
case may be made Of light wood just
large enough to admit the face through
the front. which should have hinged
door. TIE case is then covered either
with leather or tapestry, a handle of
the material being placed. across the
top.
Envelopes For Clippings.
Every man likes something to hold
clippings. Take six large envelopes
and put them together so that the flaps
all face the same way. Take two
pieces of cardboard little larger than
the envelopes, and cover with fancy
paper or with cloth. Letter with writ
ing or outline, "Favorite Clippings"

gether at the bottom, and with a sharp
knife make a cash an inch from each
