MINING NOTES.

pIUuuCcI dHpcdlc " bC shcoulCd' Aab reports and samples coming from that district warrant us in expect ing great results in the near future. The Hecla and California Arizona companies are pushing their dev- elopment with great activitity A sample of ore from the Hecla was on exhibition here this week, one solid piece that weighed 95 pounds and was fully 40 per cent copper. All the ores out there carry high gold values. This piece gave un- mistakable evidence of looming from strong. permanent vein.
 Globe Belt: Joe E. Saint re- turned last Saturday night from Duluth, Minn., and reports that he was successful in the mining business which called him there. While Mr.. Saint declined to res- pond to the repertorial auger 1t is known that he has interested Dull nth parties in options which he holds on mining properties in Globe district, which means added momentum to the boom already on here. Mir. Saint found that i'm terest in Globe was growing at Duluth, and there is no longer any doubt that large capital from that progressive city will find invest ment here.
 Prescott Courier Brown Bro- thers have sold steam hoist and 50 horse power boiler to the Red Man Mining Company, with pro perties located near McCabe. The same firm has sold a ahoisting plant, with 40 horse power boiler, to Dc placed op the Mark Twain mine, located on Lynx creek. and expects to sell another hoisting plant to another local mining company in the next few days. A. J Head, the lumber man, has d contract to supply the Arizona Exploration Company with 40 carloads of timber to be used in the construc- tion Of an arial tramway from the Blue Bell mine to the railroad.
 Yuma Sentinel: Some magnif- icent specimens of copper ore are on exhibition at Johnson & Bowles' from some locations in the Copper Mountains in the southeastern part of Yuma county. The specimens are taken from a group of claims known as the Balsz mining group. The owners of the property are Joe Balsz, Johnson X Bowles and k. A. McPherson. all of Yuma. Some work has boen done on these claims and the present owners will do considerable more. The prospects for this property are said to be fine. The ore shows a large percent in copper and good values in gold. The ledge is we'll defined and shows an extensive body of ore.
 Globe Belt: The Live Oak Min ing company has been shipping ore so the Old Dominion smelter in Globe, and 10 smelters at Douglas and Fl Paso for the past four months. and the returns justly en- title their property to be chased among the paying mines of Globe district.

APPLES SHIPPED ABROAD.

One reason for the scarcity Of APP
pies in the home markets during the
past season, and the consequent high
prices charged for the same, has just
cropped out in statement, showing
that large portion of last years crop
was exported to England and other
European countries, where the people
seeem to have developed an amazing
appetite for this kind of American
fruit. The total shipment of apples
from last years crop, in fact, amount
ed to no less than 2,411,473 barrels, Of
which New York state alone exported
609,S47 barrels. This year it is pre-
dicted the exports of apples will be
even heavier, and so important has
this trade become lat large import
ing house at London has planned to
establish regular steamer line from
Boston and New York to cater partic-
ularly to the apple export trade.

The first cutting this season, made

from this standpoint. Its roots con-

IOWA NEWSPAPERS.

Cedar Rapids Gazette: The cores
pendent Of one of the Chicago dailies,
commenting recently on the political
situation in Iowa, expressed surprise
at the uniformly high character Of the
newspapers of the Hawkeye state, es-
pecially the weeklies. To the people
of Iowa the character of the press is
no surprise at ALL They have come to
regard the papers of the state very
highly, and in fact are surprised that
outsiders are surprised. No state in
the union can boast of better weekly
papers, and the dailies, barring some
departures from the straight and mar.
row path during the heat of a fac
tional campaign, are also ahead of the
standard. he Iowa newspaper boys
are an enterprising lot, and their en-
terprise is given proper credit in the
support they receive at the hands of
the public. AS a rule, the papers are
clean, up-to-date, and thoroughly re-
liable. A very great proportion of the
newspaper editors and managers of the
state are young men, many of them
quite young. They are making sue
cess Of their work. They are full of
enthusiasm and push. They have
combined their enthusiasm with the
caution and leyel-headedness which
they have learned from the older men
who have been such an honor to the
profession. The newspaper men of
Iowa, young and old, are all right.

INTERURBAN BENEFITS
0skaloosa Man Makes Some Obser-
vations in Clinton.

Clinton, Iowa, July 27.-I am Ger,
tainly pleased to see that the oska.
loosa & Buxton interurban is a go.
There is no doubt but that the road
will be good thing and of more i'm
portance to the town than anything
there. Clinton is the headquarters
for the Clinton-Davenport interurban.
| have taken pains to inquire about
the business of the road at headquar-
tiers, and the volume of business done
Is astounding. On the Fourth they
handled 5000 passengers between this
city and Davenport and the daily bust
ness is simply immense. Now we
have three railroads connecting the
two cities, fare by the steam roads
$l.20, by the interurban 70 cents. In
addition to these there is a daily
packet which carries passengers to
Davenport for so cents. Two-thirds
of the passenger business between
the two cities is done over the inter-
urban.
At South Clinton is the power
house, an immense building equipped
with mammoth dynamos, boilers and
engines. From this central or "fa-
Their" plant is transmitted the power.
At Princeton and Comache are boost
ers"-helpers-which are auxiliary
plants. The machinery in these
plants-the dynamos--are run by
power from the Clinton plant. These
boosters" as l understand them are
auxiliary power plants that furnish
a per cent of the power needed to op.
crate the road. In other words, they
are supplied with power from the
main plant the same as motors in
towns and they give the cars a
boost" or push. At Clinton the road
uses Sixth avenue and loops up Fifth
avenue, where the depot and main
business offices are located.
On special occasions they carry two
handsome cars-one trailer. Each
car is as large as a good big passen-
ger coach. 1t has small baggage
apartment, smoking room and coach
A trip on the lnterurban is an outing
that is comfortable, pleasing and ex-
hilarating, one that every inhabitant
wants to take as often as his pocket.
book will permit. Every Sunday the
interuban makes a rate from Clinton
to Davenport of dollar for the round
trip, and the business is simply great.
They run car every hour and a
half, and it takes an hour and thirty
minutes to make the trip. The road
is solid and laid with heavy steel.
Freight cars are hauled over the road
and an express train is run twice a
day.
Say, this town of Clinton is a fine
one. l have been around in Iowa a
good deal; but this is the ...... city
was ever in in the state. Big enter
prises, mills, sash, chair and furni-
ture factories, mills, bridge works,
fine streets, good street railways, fine
parks, elegant residences and a gen.
erous people are some of the charac-
teristics of the town. am glad that
Clinton is in the state league ball
team. 1t will bring the towns little
closer together and perhaps you will
get over here some time.
One thing l forgot to mention in
connection with the interurban, and
that is the parks maintained by it
They have several parks on their line
where concerts and vaudeville shows
are given, and they are great. Fine
places for picnic. Lest tire you
will quit.
Yours,
H. c. Cook.

"A Milwaukee automobile manufac-
turer declares that the effective way
to reduce motor accidents to mini
mum is to take away the horns and
other signalling devices and hold
chauffeurs and owners responsible for
maintaining control of the machines.
He would put autos on the same foot
ing as carriages and wagons and hold
the drivers of each equally to account
for the damage done. At present the
auto driver usually considers his duty
fulfilled If he toots whistle or shrieks

THE TARIFF WILL STAND.

At the conference of republican lead
ers at Oyster Bay it was determined
that the party, in the congressional
campaign, shall oppose all tinkering
with the tariff at this time. President
Roosevelt, Speaker Cannon, Chairman
Sherman of the congressional cam
paign committee and the rest Of the
republican chieftains who were at the
meeting took this position. 1t will be
proclaimed in the republican textbook
for 1906, which will be issued in two
or three weeks.
Republican stump speakers and
newspapers will, in 1906, have an easy
and pleasant task in setting forth the
benefits which the tariff has conferred
upon the country. They can point to
more prosperity at home than has ever
been seen in the past, and can show
the largest foreign trade which has
ever been rolled up. In the aggregate
exports and imports of merchandise
the $4,000, 100000 mark has been al
most reached. In the fiscal year 1906
the exports aggregated $1,744,00O,00O
and the imports S1,226, 100000. In
each item the highest figures Of the
past were left far behind. We sold to
the outside world double as much mer-
chandise in the Roosevelt year just
ended as we did in Cleveland's year
just ten years earlier The balance of
trade in our favor, which was s104,-
100000 in 1896, was quihtupled in
1906, when it reached 100000. II
we count silver as merchandise, as we
ought to do, although the governments
bookkeepers persist in putting 1t in a
class by itself, the $4,000, 000. 900 mark
in the aggregate merchandise exports
and imports would be left far behind,
and the balance in our favor on the
trade account with the outside world
would be s557,0O0,O0O.
The tariff can claim large share OF
the credit for these conquests at home
and abroad. Manifestly. system

this end of the county given anything
toward it? The enterprise deserves
