Novels at Cut Rates.
From the Dellman.


The reduction of the price of novels IN
London from Is. to half crown may prove
a sad blow to the great circulating libraries.
In England the circulating library is very
important institution.
Almost nobody buys the novels of the day;
every one, from the humblest to noble earls
and countesses, and even members of tho
royal family, subscribes TO a library and
draws from it what he wants in the way OF
light reading.
The reduction in the price of novels may
quite possibly put stop to all this. Many
folk who now begrudge the greater sum for
few hours amusement VIII not mind
spending half a crown.

that there is dependable ore body of about s3,000,000 tons which will average per cent or better and in the engineer report there is an edi- torial note which modestly states, bas- ing the assertion on a preceding theory, this would indicate an ore body equal to about 225,000,000 tons This note would also appeal to an outsider who would not be aware that the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining company with it's miles and miles of underground workings, modern machinery and deep shafts, mining at its present rate of 3,500 tons of ore daily could not mine 225,000,000 tons of ore in TO years.
 There are other points in the litera- ture too numerous to mention at the present time, calculated to make per son believe that the finding of a most wonderful mine was merely matter of sinking shaft and carting away the ore.

QUESTIONABLE F
 NOT MUCH WORSE
Looks Very Much as Though London Arizona Company Were Selling Stock by Misrepresentation to the Public Property Located in Gila County.

The method by which the London Arizona company has been selling oI trying to sell it's stock has caused con siderable comment recently and al though the property of the company is located in Gila county, little is known of it in Globe because of its isolation The Bisbee Review has the following to say regarding it's method of promotion
 Judging from the manner in which those who are promoting the concern have elected to place the matter be. fore the people of the United States and the varied assertions which they have made in literature sent out around the country, it looks very much as if the London Arizona Copper company, owning property at the junction of the Gila and San Pedro rivers in Gila coun- ty, has attempted to at least mislead the public in regard to the proposition.
 In the first place it is stated on re- liable information that the brokers in Los Angeles who are selling the stock of the concern are receiving as their commission 50 per cent of the proceeds. Among conservative mining people to- day such an arrangement as this is looked upon, to say the least, as mis- management, because the people who are risking money on the proposition only have an opportunity to see one half of their payments used in actual work on the property, while the other half goes into the pocket of the broker who sold them the stock, and has taken no chance whatever.
 Secondly, large advertisements cost ing considerable money, are being run regularly in some of the leading papers of the country, but whether this is paid for out of the treasury of the corpora tion or by the broker selling the stock is unknown. If it is paid out of the treasury of the corporation it looks like another instance of mismanage- ment; while if it is paid for by the broker, he must surely be making considerable profit to be able to pay the enormous advertising expense, whereas the money which he is making might be used in developing the property.
 The property which the company owns is situated in Gila county, and twenty-five claims now embraced in the holdings were formerly owned by Dan- iel Carroll, who it is understood is to receive $1OO,0OO for the claims, 10 per

cent of which has been paid. It ii
 also reported that bank in Prescott Ariz., advanced the money wherewitf the first payment was made.
 It is reported on reliable authority that up to the present time systematic development of the property has never been even attempted.
 Now in the various advertisements and other literature whereby this prop erty has been placed before the atten- tion of the investing public, it looks very much as if an attempt is being made to argue from general theory of facts, and by a shrewd use of these theories make them look all the more plausible, instead of saying in plain language that the property is not yet a developed mine with an enormous ton mage of ore blocked out, but a good prospect.
 In the literature the Copper Queen mines of Bisbee, the Calumet & Arizona and others are used as comparisons, showing what they have produced.
 Likewise, the United Verde mines at Jerome, and other mines in the terri tory, as well as in Sonora, are brought into the theory. The substance of the theory seems to be that there is min. eral belt which stretches through Ari- zona, and because enormous ore deposits were uncovered at Jerome, Globe, Bis bee, Cananea and Nacozari, which lie in this line; for the same reason there must be enormous ore deposits under the ground of the London Arizona prop erty, which lies in the belt. That such reasoning is unsafe can be plainly seen because it would indicate that a per son can go into any district resembling in geological formation Bisbee, Globe or Jerome and find ore deposits equal to those of these districts. This theory at least is little uncertain.
 However, to people unaequainted with mining districts such course of reasoning might seem plausible and induce them to invest money in the enterprise, which is always at best chance, even as the Copper Queen s great mines were in their infancy. A mine is never sure thing.
 In report submitted by an engineer to the president of the company, sec tional maps of the Bisbee district and of the Bingham, Utah, district, of Utah, are placed side by side with sectional map or supposedly one of the London Arizona property.
 The Bisbee and Bingham maps are from the maps of the United States geological survey folio, but if one will notice closely, the London-Arizona is not, although a person can easily over look this fact, as the maps are very similar. On what basis, but his own theory the engineer figured out the sec tional map of the London-Arizona prop erty is unknown, but nevertheless an person would be led to believe by looking at it that it was a representation of ore deposits the same as the governmental maps of Bsbee and Bingham.
 Finally, it is stated in the literature

TO PREVENT DIVORCE

Every once in while the divorce problem bObs up in some metropolitan papers editorial columns. Some solu- tions of the problem are silly, but there is considerable truth in the following from the Washington Herald:
 New York has done great deal to- ward solving her divorce problem by the passage of what is known as the Cobb bill, which Governor Hughes has just signed. It changes the existing law in regard to marriages and stipulates that candidates for matrimony must give at least five days notice by providing themselves with a license. Heretofore 1t has been possible to delay the secur- ing of license until few minutes be- fore the wedding ceremony, and one result was that such places as private dining rooms in restaurants were popu- lar as locales for weddings. From them the sentimental young man, made more sentimental, perhaps, by having dined not wisely, but too we'll, used to send for a preacher or justice and be mar ried off hand. It was under these con- ditions that many merry chorus girl secured a husband and alimony. The old law offered numerous opportunities for the romantic midnight marriage which totally disregarded the axiom about repenting at leisure, and it was not uncommon for couples, sparkling with gayety and wine, to imagine it a line thing to be welded on "dare.O
 Now that the license must be secured m advance prospective bridegrooms and brides will have time for contempla-; tion. The new law also provides a' punishment for misrepresentation as to age, and declares that all records of licenses issued must be open to inspec- ton, a development which will aim a severe blow at the gentle bigamist.
 It IS Tn reforming the marriage laws, or, better still, perhaps, in educating the people up to the thought of what marriage really means, that the solution or the divorce problem lies. Year by year we have been coming to regard marriage as aore and more of an ex. pertinent, which, if it turns out a fail. ure, may be rectifed The very ease with which divorces may be procured has helped this tendency. With prac- tieaIly no barriers to marriage and the way of egress made plain, it is no won- der that the whole ceremony has come to be viewed lightly by many, and that the divorce courts are kept busy.

Freedom of the Press.

New York Republicans are prepar-
ing bill for the coming legislature to
compel editors Ito print daily, in a
conspicuous place, the name of the
responsible owner, and also the name
of the editor responsible for utter
ances in the editorial and news col
umns." If the corrupt Republican
ringsters think they can stop honest
newspapers from denouncing and ex-
posing their corrupt political doings
by that kind of bluff, they are GER
tainly mistaken. Honest politicians
are but rarely attacked in the news
papers, and If they are, unjustly, they
always find defenders, even from edi-
tors who are political opponents. 1t
is the CALLED ,jades who vince and the
editors and publishers of newspapers
would be delinquent in their duty if
they did not tell the truth about them
This back fire against the newspapers
may be aimed at the great dailies or
the country press, but the latter very
generally give the names of both pub
fishers and editors, and in any event
it is common knowledge in the COM
muniry who is the owner, publisher
and editor. This Republican effort to
try and restrict the activity of the
press has always failed and will
again, for the right of free speech,
which includes freedom of the press,
ID one on our cherished liberties.

TAINTED MONEY.
VIII the Corporations Be Rewarded
for Contributing It?

Why does President Roosevelt, In
spite of the advice of many of his
| friends, persist in making Mr.. Cortel
you secretary Of the treasury? He is
| still chairman of the Republican ma
| tional committee and it is not Ion 2
ago he was collecting vast sums 1i
| money from the Wall street bankers
and from the life insurance companies,
controlled by the same interests. 1t
has been shown that the money re.
ceived from the life insurance com.
panies was filched from the policy
holders, and although public opinion
universally holds that the money was
tainted and that restitution should be
made, Mr.. COrtelyOu, who controls the
large balance-said to be $400, ,000-in
the hands of the committee, has re-
fused to make restitution. In this the
president appears to uphold him by
rewarding him with the most impor-
tant place in his cabinet. Nor is this
all, for it is an axiom of political man.
agement that such political contribu-
tions entail favOrs to be returned by
the political managers receiving them,
for that is why such contributions are
made. III
Does the president intend that the
Wall street bankers shall receive
faVors from his new secretary of the
treasury even greater than he has al
lowed Secretary Shaw to disburse to
reward them for their contributions to
his campaign fund in 1904? His per-
sistence in appointing Mr.. Cortelyou
can hardly be interpreted otherwise.
This tainted money is a cloud upon
the title of the presidential office and
scandal that will never be cleaned
up until restitution is made, and the
appointment of Mr.. Cortelyou would
seem, to indicate that the president is
willing to accept his share in the
scandal.
President Roosevelt evidently be-
lieves he can do things that other
politicians would not dare to do, but
can the Republican party afford to
condone the receipt of these corpora,
ton contributions to its war chest.
and by confirming the appointment of
it's national chairman assume the re-
sponsibility for the scandal brought
about by the receipt of the life insur-
ance trust funds that rightfully be-
long to the widows and orphans of the
policy holders?
The Republican members of the
senate will have to answer these
questions, by either rejecting the
nomination of Mr.. Cortelyou, or con.
firming him.
