Best In the World

The Boston News Bureau says
The Copper Queen has made the
greatest progress in copper produc-
tion of any mine in the world. In
1903 the Anaconda company pro-
duced SO, 900, 900 pounds. the Boston
& Montana 90,0O0,00O pounds, and
the Calumet & Hecla 760,00,000
pounds. while in that year the Cop
per Queen produced only 1886, 900
and was seventh in point of copper
production among the mines of the
world.
The Copper Queen company is
probably the greatest money Garner
among the worlds copper mines,
owing to the high copper values in
its ores.
The Copper Queen company is
owned exclusively by Phelps, Dodge
& Co., there being but eight stock
holders in all connected with that
firm. 1t is understood that divi-
dends of s4 per share were paid last
year on the company's 1000, 900
shares (bar value) or SIS. 900. 900.
1t is estimated it will produce an
output of 100, 900. 900 pounds of cop
per this year, at cost of about z
cents per pound, and its net earn
ings this year. therefore, should
aggregate at least $l1, ,000,0 900.
1t is also reported that SIS per
share has been bid for Copper Queen
stock, which price would place a
value of $50, 900, 900 on the proper
ty. This is s46. 200, 900 greater than
the present selling price of Ana
conda shares in the market and twice
the present selling price of Calumet
& Hecla.

Bitten By a Skunk

One day early last week w.
Jones, teamster employed around
Miami flats, was bitten by skunk.
At first Jones paid little atten-
tion to the trouble. but after talk
ing over the matter with friends de.
cided to seek the advice of DR..
Holt. The doctor urged upon Jones
the necessity of going to the Pasteur
institute in Chicago for a course of
two or three weeks treatment. With
the assistance of friends Jones was
enabled to raise the necessary cash
for the trip and left Monday morn
ing.
The trouble was by Jones mistak-
ing the skunk for a rabbit. He put
his hand in the hole to pull it out
and received a sharp bite on the
third finger. Jones then proceeded
to smoke out his quarry, with the
result that two hydrophobia skunks
were brought to light and killed. =

Deadly Screw Worms

The blow flies are again getting
in their work and this year the first
case is reported in the Salt River
Valley.
A few days ago l.. A. Smith of
Mesa was doing some work in his
yard and a small fly kept buzzing
continually about his face. He
brushed it away time and again but
it finally darted into his nose and
was there for moment.
Its presence was accompanied by an
itching sensation and in few min
utes it crawled out.
In a couple of days his nose began
to pain him and he called doctor
who after learning the circum-
stances administered chloroform re-
moving 26 screw worms from the
mans head. Smith is still quite
sick but is out Of danger.
Cases that have come to the at
tention of the public heretofore
have been where the fly deposited
the parasites while the victim was
sleeping, but this is the first case
where the fly has been so persistent
in making tie attack.
There were number of fatalities
from the blow fly last summer in
Arizona. Free Press.

decided that they wanted no more

were polled. Four of these were
thrown out on challenge. Both
sides did world of electioneering.

few days ago the citizens of that

to proceed with incorporation.
Globe is probably the largest place
in the southwest that is not incor-
porated, and great deal larger
than many towns that have reasons
to be quite boastful. For some
reason there has been prejudice
in Globe against Incorporation, but
it seems to have finally faded away.

fact seems to have left a bad taste
in the mouths of some of the old
settlers.

Tree Smuggling.

Smuggling of trees seems peculiar
action, but several women have en-
gagged in it-not as business, of
course, but on their return from Euro
pean trips, says correspondent of
the New York Press. The trees are
those attractive little Dutch cedars for
Christmas In American cities their
price is high, whereas over in Rotter-
dam fine, fat little trees in the most
snowy of majolica pots may be bought
cheap. A thrifty matron from the
Quaker City who was abroad recog-
nized the possibility of such importa-
tons, and she bought round dozen
before she left Holland. When she
disembarked on this side with her little
forest she suayely explained that she
was passonately fond of green things
and sympathizing friends had present
ed the plants to aid her i'm passing the
time on the ocean. The customs in
spector did not have the courage to
suggest the lumber duty applied to
such trifies, SO in they came. Friends
are following Mrs. PENIS example.

The influence of the Farm.

The farm is the best security we
have for our social well being, and
whatever promotes interest there,
whatever raises it in intelligence and
scientific spirit, is one of the most
comforting influences of our civiliza-
ton. And so to have our young men
imbued with the true agricultural spir-
it, to turn away from the adventures
of the commercial life and the allure
ments of mere money making to the
simple, productive, independent life on
the farm, is one Of the richest promises
in our educational system. For there
is where it belongs-to the expanding
mind force of the nation. The finest
triumphs of the next fifty years, re-
suits that will go further than all
other enterprise in blessing men, will
be won on the farm. THERE'S science
of soil culture, and the art that is to
be based upon it will open wide the
door to men of thought and refinement.
The answer of the old artist that he
mixed his paint with brains is akin to
the experience in the farming of the
future, which will mix brains with the

Address by the Secretary of State OF

Conference of American Republics

Third Conference of American Repub-
lics-I beg you to believe that / highly

you do me.
bring from my country special
greeting to her elder sisters in the civ
ilization of America.
Unlike as we are in many respects,
we are alike in this-that we are all
engaged under new conditions and free
from the traditional forms and limita-
tons of the old world in working out
the same problem of popular self gov
ernment
1t is difficult and laborious task for
each of us. Not in one generation or
in one century can the effective con-
troll of superior sovereign, so long
deemed necessary to government, be
rejected and effective self control by
the governed be perfected in its place.
The first fruits of democracy are, many
of them, crude and unlovely. Its mis-
takes are many, its partial failures
many, it's sins not few. Capacity for
self government does not come to man
by nature. 1t is an art to be learned,
and IL In also an EXPRESSION of char

skirts For Men.

Bell skirted overcoats are the latest
novelty in the tailoring world, says the
london Mirror. They have been in
troduced by tailors of High Holborn
in London, and already there is quite
boom in the article. The effect OF
the new overcoat is graceful if some
what feminine. The cloth is taken in
at the waist, then allowed to hang
loose, falling in natural folds, like
ladys skirt. "Quiet colors are best
for such novel STYLE" said one OF
the sartorial artists the other day.

The Navy and Army.
The United States navy is the surest
guarantor of peace which this country
possesses. 1t is earnestly to be wished
that we would profit by the teachings
of history in this matter. A strong
and wise people will study its own fail
ures no less than it's triumphs, for
there is wisdom to be learned from the
study Of both, of the mistake as well
as of the success. For this purpose
nothing could be more instructive than
rational study of the war of 1872 as
it is told, for instance, by Captain
Mahan. There was only one way in
which that war could have been avoid
ed. Ii during the preceding twelve
years a navy relatively as strong as
that which this country now has had
been built up and an army provided
relatively as good as that which the
country now has, there never would
have been the slightest necessity of
fighting the war, and if the necessity
had arisen the war would under such
circumstances have ended with our
speedy and overwhelming triumph.
But our people during those twelve
years refused to make any prepara-
tons whatever regarding either the
army OF the navy They saved mil
lion or two of dollars by SO doing and

Strong Gas Flow al Ontario.

There are several gas wells in
Ontario and a strong flow of at
ural gas abounds but a short dis
lance below the surface, which has
been pronounced by experts to be
oil gas from the highest grade of
petroleum. But the strongest flow
yet discovered was found in Judge
j. T. Clements well on his prem
ises in the north part of town. The
well, which is about 200 feet deep,
was sunk about two years ago, but
was not known to contain gas until
recently when a gasoline p imp was
attached to raise the water. After
pumping awhile il was thought the
well was running dry or the pump
was leaking by the peculiar plung-
ing of the water, when it was sug-
gested that it might contain gas. A
lighted match was applied to a IL
inch lead pipe that carried the
water about 100 feet from the well
when a blaze shot up two feet. The
blaze will sometimes follow the
water some distance on the ground.
Experts say the flow from the
well is 20 per cent gas. The judge
will build a tank TO utilize this
gas. Ontario Democrat.

STATE BOARD OF
EQUALIZATION

At last the long delayed report of
assessments from Bingham county
arrived and the state board of
equalization was yesterday able to
real business. The as
sessed valuation of Bingham county
this year as reported by the auditor
and as equa1ized by the county COM
missioners, not including railways,
telegraphs and telephones is So, SAG,
1872, a slight increase owe last year,
when the figures for the valuation,
not including the corporations above
mentioned, were reported in as
SIS, 458, 289. 38.
The report from Bingham county
was the last to come in. These fig
ures give an idea of the total asses
sed valuation for the state. Adding
up the assessed valuation for all the
counties as reported to the state
board of equalization the total is
sos, 449, 343.4 40, an increase from
500, O49, $50. o. for last year.
Yesterday forenoon the board of
equalization gave an audience to
several railroad tax commissioners.
Those present representing the
various railroads in Idaho we're:
]. B. Evans, of Salt Lake, repre-
senting the Short Line ;Char1es Hay
den, of st. Paul, and John L. SnapP,
of Seattle, representing the Great
Northern; ]. w. Morrow, of Port
land, representing the o. r. & N.
Co., and M. T. Sanders, of St.
Paul, representing the Northern
Pacific.
Each of these representatives
asked that the board not increase
the assessed valuations on their
lines from last year, each in a short
talk giving it as his opinion that
while the assessments were per-
haps a little lower than they ac-
tually should be the railroads
were already paying o taxes
in proportion to valuations than
the of other properties
taxed. The matter YVES taken
under advisement.
Going over the railroad assess
ments for last year and comparing
the reported valuations then with
the valuations reported for 1906
by the respective tax commission
ers i'll was seen hat the valuations
for this year were in every in
stance increased but slightly. The
rail roads last year were assessed at
the rate of $4,000 per mile on main
line tracks. The reports of the state
