Forgetting Something.

When the train that conveyed Pres
ident Roosevelt through Virginia on
his last trip south stopped at Char
~lottesville, a negro approached tho
presidents car and passed aboard a
big basketful of fine fruit, to which
was attached the card of a prominent
grower.
In course of time the orchardist re-
ceived a letter of acknowledgment
from the White House expressing the
presidents appreciation of the gift,
and complimenting the donor upon his
fruit. The recipient of the letter was,
of course, greatly pleased, and, feel
ing sure that his head gardener would
be much interested in the letter, he
read it to him. The darby who
served in the capacity mentioned lis
tened gravely, but his only comment
was:
He doan' say nothin' bout sendin'
back de basket, do he?'-Success

PURIFIED LIFE INSURANCE.
Benefits from New Law, Which Re
mains Substantially Unchanged.

Through the influence Of Gov.
Hughes, the New York Legislature de-
cided to make no radical changes in
the new insurance law. 1t was pointed
out by Gov. Hughes that the New York
law has already accomplished wide
spread reforms, with proportionate
benefits to policyholders, and that it
should be given a thorough trial be-
fore any amendments were seriously
considered. 1t is estimated that the
cost of the mismanagement Of the past
did not average more than 20 cents to
each policyholder, while the benefits
to present and future policyholders
will amount to many times more and
be cumulative besides. The speed
craze of the big companies and the eE-
cessive cost of securing new business
was the most extravagant evil of the
old arrangements. Under the new
regime the cost of new business has
already been greatly reduced, along
with other economies.
The showing made by the Equitable
Life Assurance Society in it's report
for 1906 was a strong argument
against meddling with the e law.
In the Equitable alone there vas a
saving of over $4,000, 900 in expenses,
besides an increase in the income
from the Society's assets amounting
to as much more. The ratios of the
Equitable's total expenses to its total
income was 1929 in 1904, 1882 in
1905, and only 14.4S% in 1906. The
%dividends paid to Equitable policy.
holders in 1906 amounted to $7,2S9, 734,
which was an increase of more than
go yer 1905.
While the Equitable made a better
showing than any other big company,
all reported radical economies and un-
der such conditions the Legislature
wisely decided to leave the law sub
stantially as it stands.

A man writing to a New York pa

According to the pessimist pretty
much all the fruit of the country has
been destroyed by the backward spring
and the late cold. Peaches, apples and
the like are doomed, if these prophets
of evil are to be taken at their word.
But this is a big country, and there
are sections where the frost has
wrought no mischief, and the crops
have not been killed. A good way,
before jumping at conclusions, will be
to wait and see what the season is
likely to bring forth.

"The question to which these figures
will bring to many thoughtful men Is
How much of this vast increase OF
wealth have the true heirs of the land
the Southern people, gathered to them
selves, and how much AVE they allowed
strangers to the soil to appropriate ?
Have our people made the most of ou
sections resources, or has our country
been exploited by Northern capital and
Northern aggressiveness? We have no
fault to find with Northerners who put
Northern money and Northern brains
and energy into Mississippi fields of in
dustry. They are to be welcomed here,
but would it not be better if our own
people were more numerously represent
ed among the captains of industry? Have
we not allowed Others to supply what
what we had in plenty-penetration to
see our great opportunities, the progress
i've energy to overcome the inertia of an
old and fixed economic regime, and the
faith to take the chances? And of the
tremendous reward, could not our own
people have reaped a larger and iuster
share of the harvest? Is an age of high
development we of this section CT Missis-
sippi live in a land for the most part yet
~undispoiled of its virgin opportunities.
It's ~undeveloped resources are still in ma
tive hands, ard it remains to be seen
whether we ourselves shall develop them
or continue to raise cotton and look on
while others coin our potential wealth
into current specie of the land"
AS has been said by this writer, the
larger part of our available assets in
the shape of undeveloped are
still in the hands of our own people, and
it remains for them to do the work of
developing them and reaping the lions
share of the profits to accrue which be-
longs to them. Mississippians, consider
carefully the thoughts brought out in
this article and begin now this work of
development that means SO much to the
future welfare of our great State and
its loyal people, if done by them and
the profits kept where they rightfully be-
long.

Bones of a bear which in life was at
least twice as large as the present
day polar bear were recently found in
a Pennsylvania cave. The animal is
said by scientists to have lived 20, 900
years ago. Near its remains were
other bones described as those of the
calves of the mammoth, the young
beasts having been presumably drag

Nova Scotia is an agricultural prov
fnce, and like many sections in this
part of the country is troubled with
insect pests, notably the brown-tailed
moth. And u neighbors have bor-
rowed an idea from this side of the in
ternational line. They have set the
children at work. The government
offers a bounty of three cents for
every brown-tailed moth captured and
identified, and agricultural officials
have organized school children's corps
trained to gather the insects and turn
them in. That should do the bust

sweethearts for years and it is said
that for awhile they were engaged.
Persons who knew her in Washington
declare that she was one of the most

Finances Of Mexico.

City Of Mexico.-In congress Satur.
day the report of Minister of Finance
Limantour was read and the budget
for the coming fiscal year was made
public. The estimated receipts for the
coming year total $103,3S5,O0 while
the expenditures will reach $l03, ,203,
842, leaving an estimated surplus of
$1S1 ,15S.
The total increase of this years bud
get reaches the sum of $G,592,275, the
largest item in the increase being for
$l,367, $50 for maintenance of the de-
partment of war.
The revenues for the fiscal year
just passed totaled $114,027 900, the
expenditures $10O,2OS1 1872, leaving a
surplus of s14,O77,9S9
The surplus of the previous year
was 29,209,4S1 and the falling Off of
the past year was due to the large
sum spent in public works, $17,206, COS.
Minister Mimantour maintained that
the recent crisis in the United States
would make itself felt in the coming
year in Mexico in that investment
would be curtailed. Interest rates are
higher, but this would only affect min
ing industries. He believed that in
the end it would work for good rather
than evil. The minister recommended
increased salaries for public officials

the Mineral Hill property at Fierro. A
100ton copper smelter is to be erected
at Fierro and mining on a large scale
will be started.-Favorable conditions
were reported in the Burro Mountain
district, and bath development and
production showed an increase. The
Azure Mining Co. has been carrying on
successful diamond-drill explorations
in this section, locating workable sulp
hide ore bodies at depth of 225 feet

tanning this splendid feet and in the
continuance of that interest which now
fits us out complete in every particular
and sends us on the great practice

man in the fleet will feel it not only a
duty, but pleasure, to repay the peo.
pie for their interest by absolute hdel.
ity TO the trust imposed upon him in
small things as well as in large.

destination the people will have for us
a welcome as warm as in the God.

its full income to mining and metal
lurgy, admitting only regular students
for a degree. So high
grade and efficient has it become that
the influx of graduates Of other col
leges, as well as of advanced standing
men, has led to the organization of
graduate courses in mining and metal
lurgical engineering. Graduates of the
leading colleges and universities of the
United States. as well as of the Cen
trail Technical College of London and
the Imperial archaeological Institute
of Toxic, Japan, are now enrolled
among the students,
While the school has an excellent
reputation not only in Colorado, in the
United States and abroad, and while
to many it seems to be the leading
school of it's kind in the world, yet,
in order to be above criticism it should
possess a department not now possess
ed by any mining school. All schools
have departments of ore dressing and
metallurgy, but they are entirely on 4
purely laboratory scale. The thing
needed is a large ore-dressing and
metallurgical experimental plant of
commercial size, capable of handling
ore in carload lots. Such department
would consist of four parts; Sampling
mill, ore-dressing plant, mill for anal.
gamation cyanidation and chlorma.
tion, and roasting and smelling sec
tion.
Such plant would enable the stu
dents to come into immediate contact
with the real problems of their pro-
fession. in their commercial and scien-
tific aspect. 1t would give them an
ideal training for their future work !;
it would enable the school to become
contributor of knowledge of great
theoretical and practical value 20 the
mining industry. On the other hand
it would be of incalculable value to
the mining industry as a whole, for II
could be used by mining engineers for
exhaustive tests to determine the prop
er treatment of rebellious ores. In
word, 1t would advance the quality
of instruction, place the school in an
exalted relative to other mining schools
end advance materially the general
mining industry of the country
Today, no engineering school, now
ever, fulfils its function completely un
less it works in harmony with the pro
fcssiou, and this the Colorado Schoo
of Mines endeavors to do, for in ad
dition to its present well equipped la
boratorfes it seeks to organize an CX
perimental plant which will become ar
important factor in developing the
mineral wealth of the Rocky Noun
tain region.
No special students are admitted
The course is severe and the standard
is high. The aim of the school is tc
produce quality, not quantity. No CT
fort is made to emphasize the theoreti
cal over the practical. nor the prac
tical over the theoretical. but to obtain
the happy medium of correct theory
with intelligent practice, so that the
graduate will be prepared in his pro,
fession to advance to the highest posi-
tions obtainable.
