Lead Refineries.

At the present time there are only four large producers of refined lead in the United States, namely, the Ameri- can Smelling x Refining Company, through itself and its allied interests. the Balbach Smelling & Refining Com pany, the St. Joseph Lead Company and the St. Louis Smelling & Refining Company, the last being one of the subsidiary companies of the National Lead Company. It is even probable that there will be further consolida- tion of interests, since during the lat ter portion of the year there was good deal of talk as to the eventual consolidation of the United Lead Con- pany American Smelling x Refining Company and the National Lead Com pany, combination which has been under consideration for several years.

Superintendent Moseley of the Res cue Copper company, has been in Phe- nix for the past couple of days attend ing to matters connected with his com pany, which is now erecting a 5O-ton shelter in the mountains, twenty-six miles south of Gila Bend. Moseley states that several carloads of machin- cry for the plant are now on the ground, being installed and put in shape for operation as fast as large crew of men can do the work. The smelter will soon be in shape to blow in. R. F. Wright, who is interested in the Rescue company, was here Sat urday with Moseley, attending to bus mess matters. Both state that there is every evidence of a revival in min ing in the mountains to the south of Gila Bend. Several companies besides the Rescue company are preparing to do extensive development work. Con siderable eastern capital is being in- vested in the district Enterprise.

Commercial and the New York Sun have fallen
into the serious error OF allowing grossly mac
curate letters concerning San Francisco's cond-
tion to appear in their issues.
recently returned Californian who has been
travelling extensively in the East, says that East

fornia and the entire Pacific Coast are unsteady
underfoot as a ships deck and there is telling
when of our coast cities will be shaken to the
ground Although the Los Angeles, San Diego,
Seattle and Portland Chambers of Commerce have
been doing excellent work in correcting false i'm
pressions of the Pacific States, large percentage
of the Eastern people have the idea that from
Alaska to San Diego the slope is subject to violent
seismic disturbances. Nothing could be more hurt

ideas of distances and neghborhoods, volcanic dis
turbances and tidal waves are confused at best
The man who doesn't care for astronomy and
refuses to study it will invariably argue, 'How do
they know that the sun is ninety million miles

is possible to measure a sun spot. Earthquake

will not accept historical record as a convincing

MONEY IS PLENTIFUL.

One OF the largest dealers in dry goods of this
city yesterday addressed letter to an Eastern
business house in which he said: II have been
doing bigger business than / was doing before
the fire. Everybody seems to have money and
there is a great deal of Eastern capital here look
ing for investments.
1t sounds good to hear that our people are not
facing a stringent money market and on first
thought It is than pleasing to know that
outside capital is seeking opportunity to speculate
here. The only thing to be avoided is overconh-
dence in what might be termed cheap outside
money" Much of the cash that has been sent
here from Eastern financial centers is placed with
agents who have instructions to buy up property
IL the burned district OF the city. The investors
think that some property-owners will become dis
couraged and offer their holdings at about 90 cents
on the dollar
Downtown property is being firmly held and
there does not seem to be any inclination to let
cheap" capital grab it. The shrewd specuator
knows good thing when he sees it and there are
scores OF them here ready to drive a bargain The

MANcHURIAN TRADE SITUATION.

Diplomatic circles are somewhat Jared by the
scurrying Of the japanese for the vantage points
of trade in Manchuria Before the Russia Japan
war the little brown men suavely declaring
that in event of their success in battle they would
deal literally with the world in the dispensing of
the good things of Oriental traffic. The treaty of
peace had scarcely been out of the hands of the
commissioners at Portsmouth when the keen mer
chants of the tea isle were barterng with their
Government for exclusive privileges that when
granted proved very detrimental to foreigners.
European merchants and banking institutions
making bitter complaint of the Japanese gov
ernment of Manchuria, alleging that Japan will
remain in control of the territory until next April
under the terms OF the Portsmouth treaty, and
that in the interim foreign commerce has been
cleverly blocked to such extent that the rich
trade OF the district rapidly passing from their
hands to the material benefit of Japan The trick
was turned by Japan entering free of duty through
Dany and Antung goods manufactured in Japan
while heavy tolls are exacted by the Chinese on
foreign goods entering via Newchwang, of the
regular treaty ports. Trade privileges with the
first named ports must be obtained with the con-
sent OF Japan.
In the treaty of Portsmouth provision was made
to open Mukden and Antung to foreign trade, but
the Japanese inserted clause that placed certain
restrictions the traffic and made necessary to
obtain from the Japanese Government certain per-
mits for traffickng. The intention of the treaty
was made clear enough 50 far as Europe and the
United States were concerned, but it would seem
at first glance that techncalities have been intro
duced by the japanese that in great measure de-
stroy its effectiveness with other nations than
Japan.
The United States has been dealt with more
literally than Europe in Manchurian trade rela-
tons on account OF some rather confusing treaty
arrangements in 1903 which even the Japanese do
not seem to be capable of fathoming but
theless our business with Manchuran territory has
been brought to halt notwithstanding the fact
that there is fair demand for American goods
there. 1t is probable that the State Department
will take the matter up with European diplomats
and that the difficulty will be Strengthened out at

HOW TO KILL
A MOSQUITO

In communication which we have
received from a well known citizen of
Meridian Miss, the following sugges-
ton is thrown out for the construc-
tion of a mosquito destroyer: by
may not an apparatus on the order OF
the electric circular fan be made and
used for destroying mosquitoes The
little whirlfng fans now In use TO asi-
tate the air, and thus make the neat
less oppressive, blow the mosquitoes
with which the current comes in con-
tact away from the machine. NOW III
.he machine be reversed so that the
current is toward and into the ap-
paratus, l believe the mosquito, and
possibly house flies also, in room
would be sucked into or against the
machine, and it could be so constructed
as to either kill or capture them
Meanwhile, the apparatus. drawing the
air toward il, would serve the same
purpose as the outer current machine
in reference to agitating the atmos-
phere thus there would be no addi-
tional expense of consequence III one
machine would not work effectively.
two certainly would. one machine
working the current outwardly and
the other set opposite to 1T, sucking
the air into It, There is no doubt in
my mind that room could thus pc
rid of mosquitoes This plan might
work. but we doubt 1t. After all, the

PEOPLE AND THINGS.
BY LOUISE WELLER.

Rumor has it that just as SOON as
the divorce court will allow it, William
Ellis Corey, president of the steel
trust. will marry prominent society
woman of Pittsburg
That the society woman of Pitts
burg knows the cause of the recent
disruption in the Corey menage goes
without the saying. That she hopes
for no repetition of such spicy episodes
In her married life viii also be accept
ed without argument There does not
appear to be ANY reason why Corey
should be better husband the second
time than he was the first time. And
since it does not seem plausible that
any woman would marry man in
the expectation of being made un-
happy. it must be that the society
woman is marrying the steel magnate
with the hope of reforming him.
She has big job before her. So
has any woman who marries man
in the hope of reforming him. Roman
tic as 1t certainly is, noble as it GER
tainly sounds, marrying man to re-
form him is a most thankless, profit
less piece of business. There is some
thing about it though that appeals to
nearly all women. 1t iatters them
Most times 1t wakes the mother In
Stinct. With the mother instinct once
reused In woman she is liable to do all
sorts of foolish things. Nevertheless,
the dual role of wife and mother
played opposite to a reforming hus-
band is apt to quickly dispel all
illusions.
Time and custom and the proper
order of things have made man the
head of the house. The head OF the
house is not a mere empty title. 1t
means exactly what it states. 1t
stands for strength. 1t stands for dig
nifty and it stands for responsibility. A
man that needs woman to lean up
against admits his weakness. There
is no greater love-destroyer known
than this same admission of weakness.
Women have suffered all sorts of abuse
from men and went on loving them
and serving them. The Police Court
annals are crammed with the cases of
brute husbands who have been blessed
with tender. faithful loving wives. No
matter what else these men were, they
were strong. They needed no women
to prop themselves up against. Natu-
rally, it is not the highest grade of
woman that such men appeal to. They
are the women in whom fouriShes the
soul OF primitive woman with all her
primitive tastes and inclinations.
Education culture and superior en-
vironment modify this primary taste,
