LONDON, Dec 5.-The balloon
which passed over the northeast
coast of County Antrim, Ireland, at
4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, has
been definitely identified as the
French government air ship La Pa
trie by the men in charge of the
Lloyds signal station at LORE head.
Previous statements that the dirigi-
BILE was manned and under control
are not corroborated by the trained
observers, who, on the other hand,
say that the balloon was going north
ward, backwards, before a southerly
wind blowing at the rate of six miles
an hour.

spondence so that the facts impelline
the ordering of troops to Goldfield
might be known. In addition to Gen
eral Funston's dispatch announcing
that he had intended to send two
companies in the first place to Gold
field came later correspondence show
ing that upon inside information as
to the situation in that mining camp
it had become apparent that small
er force would only invite attack or
resistance by the riotous element,
when an overwhelming force would
insure peace by making it apparent
to the lawless element. that resistance
would be hopeless.

ADVANCING
District Making Gain As
the Biggest Of Copper
Camps.
CONSTRUCTION W0R
Crowdins Ahead On Concentrator
and Railroad Ready for Word
to Increase Operations.

Steady progress was made last
week with all work under way in the
district, excepting of course at the
Giroux, but aside from the report OF
continually increasing ore bodies in
the great Veteran mine of Cumber-
land Ely and the report that early
resumption may be expected of oper-
ations to fullest possible extent in
construction of the reduction works
at McGill, there was nothing of oc-
currence uncommon to great copper
camp which is steadily making bet
ter and better.
The cave-in at the GirouX has oc-
cupied the interest of the heads OF all
the mining companies of the district
who with their assistants, have stood
ready to offer any possible aid thar
might be asked. The consequences
to the Giroux in the light of delaying
its entry to production and the OPP
Grafton of its concentrator are ad-
mittedly formidable in appearance.
The outlook for its recovery under
several months from the straits in
which put by the accident is not god.
which put by the accident is not
good
At McGill the concentrators are
rushing along their work with all
possible speed on the first unit of the
concentrator and other jobs on the
rush list. There is readiness for such
orders as may come with regard to
throwing full forces on all work.
Managing Director Yeatman is now
in the east and may be heard from
ouy 6oV i'm this regard
On the railroad end there has been
no cessation of efforts to get through
with construction at the earliest pos
sible date and excellent headway be-
ing made indicates that mines and re-
duction works will be connected by
rail very close around the first of the
year. The Nevada Northern work
proper will be completed before that
time, but the contractors doing the
trestle construction end at the con-
centrator may fall behind a few days.
The date of operation of the first unit
of the concentration is now up to
them.

Yesterday witnessed continued i'm
provement on the New York market,
in which the Ely stocks participated
with exception of GirouX, the news of
its shaft accident doubtless operating
TO prevent its taking part in the gem
eral advance of the coppers. Nevada
Consolidated took the lead among
the Ely issues, scoring up close to
the SO mark and closing at SIS
Cumberland Ely was strong, making
steady advance in the trading and
closing at Is The advance of this
stock would doubtless have been
more proportionate to that of Ne
vada Consolidated but for the fact
of recent announcement that its
treasury is to supply funds for the
completion of the reduction works at
McGill. This has doubtless operated
TO hold back advance temporarily,
but may be expected to bring rapid
upift as soon as the investing public
is informed of the strength of the
treasury of the company. With the
facts well in the public mind Cumber-
land Ely should do some fast climb
ing. New York quotations as re-
ceiyed by the Bank of Ely at the
close of trading yesterday were as

A PACKED HOUSE
L|STEN n TO
OLD JOKES
and Mack Greeted by
One of Largest Audiences
Ever Seen in the EIkS Thea
ter, But Show is Mediocre,

Murrack and Mack. in their musical
comedy Around the Town played
Friday night in the Elks' theater to
one of the largest houses ever seen in
that building. Every seat in the thea
ter, upstairs and down, was taken and
all the available standing room was
pre-empted. A great big. representa-
tive Albuquerque crowd turned out to
have one of the good Old-fashiOned
side-splitting laughs, such as Murray
and Mack were noted Tor IN former
days. The crowd still has that laugh
coming, for Murray and Mack dis
appointed the house. In the hrst place
Mack was sick and consequently una
Bile to appear. In the second place, the
majority of the jokes perpetrated dur
ing the show were of the vintage OF
1875. In the third place the percen-
tage of feminine beauty among the
soubrettes was discouragingly small,
although one hesitates 20 mention
a delicate subject.
There were some clever specially
artists and Murray was in something
like his Did form, but for the rest Of
the show was rather a bore. The
house was good natured n disposed
to be amused easily, but il is hard for
one to get a real good tonic laugh out

Please.

As a people, we have not been particu-
larly noted for the grace of our public
manners. but it seems that in an effort
10 reduce the friction Of life 70 the mini
mum, it IS necessary that we Glide some
Of the customs Of politeness and get down
10 a bedrock basis Mr. 4. ]. Ulrich.
manager of the Keystone Telephone Com
pany, of Philadelphia, has ordered the
so girls in the company TO cease using
the word please" He has also requested
THAT patrons OF the company, that is, all
users Of the telephone. cut out the word
in their conversations over the phone.
Instead Of Please give me North as" il
is 70 be Give me North 42S. or possibly
just the number itself without any prefix
at all. Mr.. Ulrich who is evidently
thrifty gentleman. declares that the word
please has been used 10000 times every
twenty-fOur hours. and that it takes one
half a second 20 say it. This means that
in the aggregate 800 minutes are wasted
every day-lz5 hours gone 10 pol for po-
liteness' sake.
With all due regard to Mr.. Ulrich and
his waste of time. We are inclined TO decry
this new move. The natural trend toward
gross materialism and selfshness is rapid
enough without the PRONUNCIATION Of such
rules as this. Life is not simply 10 hurry
through frantically striving TO attain 50
much before we get 70 the end. When
We DO get 10 the end, we are a long time
dead. In the meantime. this business of
pushing people out Of the way because we
are in too much Of a hurry 10 ask them
10 step aside; this hanging on to car
straps because We can't wait for seats:
the bolting OF rapid-fre lunch because
we are making money so fast that we
haven't time to waste in eating. and the
snappy. snarling habit of our conversa-
ton because we have no time to be cour-
teous and polite-all these things are leav-
ing. and are bound TO leave an indelible
and undesirable mark on our public char
acter. Please is a little word. but il
means d whole lot Its absence from a
request marks the difference between the
boor and the gentleman; not the man dis
tinguished by any accident of birth. but
the man Of gentle viii, of courtly and
kindly feeling-the man who has time
really to live.
We can omit it from our conversation if
We choose and we shall certainly gain
time thereby; but what shall we lose? In
this day and age Of strenuous competition
and striving we need. indeed, TO cling
stoutly to the customs honored by time
which make for consideration OF others.

and careless as they may seem to the

For Mayor of Cleveland

II is indeed curious state OF condi-
tio1s which has led To wide national in
terest in the municipal politics of city
like Cleveland. Ohio. With the pictur-
esque Mr Tom /. Johnson. four times
mayor of Cleveland, and a conspicuous
figure in Ohio politics for more than
decade, Cleveland has always attracted
It's share Of interest. but IT bids fair now
TO come out into the limelight stronger
than ever. Representative Theodore z.
Burton. Of Ohio, a prominent figure in
Congress as chairman of the House Com
mIttee on Rivers and Harbors has tenn
porarily forsaken national politics to serve
his party by running against Mayor John
son, who viii undoubtedly be his party's
candidate for reelection.
What lends particular picturesqueness
to the coming municipal contest in Cleve-
land IS that Representative Burton has
frankly declared that his decision TO run
for mayor of Cleveland has been in
fuenced greatly by the views Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Secretary Taft, and Sec
retary Garfield He himself said in an
interview: II have received letters from
President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft,
and have talked with Secretary Garfield
whose opinions have aided me in reaching
a decision" 1t cannot help striking the
average citizen that Mr. Burton is risk
ing a great deal in the hope Of aiding
his party in Ohio. Tom L. Johnson has
long had firm hold on many classes of
people in Cleveland. He has become
known as strongly in favor of municipal
ownership of public utilities. though time
seems to have modified his views in this
regard. still. he has done something for
the municipality, and It is evident that
the people of Cleveland. OF at least
great numbers of them, believe in him
and Ike him

to note whether the Endorsement Of the
President and Of two members Of his
Cabinet will be en aid TO Mr. Burton
in a strictly municipal campaign It may
be that Mr.. Burton will find such indorse-
ments a great help in his political fight
but. on the other hand. it is not unlike
~ that the friends Of Mr.. Johnson VIII
raise the cry that the Federal govern
ment and its officials should keep their
influence away from tha municipal activ-
tiles Of Cleveland. The situation is
unique. and It promises ere long TO de-
velop some mighty interesting phases.

A Retnrn to Armv Blue.

The War Department believes IL is on
the verge Of settling the problem which
arises from the disposition of certain pro-
prietors of public places Of entertainment
to exclude therefrom enlisted men of the
army when they present themselves
dressed in the uniform of the service.
Some one has suggested that the whole
difficulty could be avoided by allowing
men ''on pass. that is to say. when they
are away from their garrisons and not
on duty. TO wear the blue uniform in
stead ot the olive-drab. which is the
working dress for winter. or the khaki
uniform, which is the working dress for
summer. It is considered that the obiec-
ton to enlisted men IN uniform r1ay cor
respond TO the objection which would
prevail If a laborer appeared at a theater
or at high-toned restaurant in his
jumper and Overalls.
It is proposed to issue a general order
which viii require enlisted men 10 wear
the blue uniform hstead Of the olive
drab OF khaki. and so appear dressed
up" II will be interesting 10 observe II
the experiment meets with success. and II
the skating rink owners and the theater
managers in various places where there
has been shown a prejudice against the
soldier In uniform viii be more liberal.
1t is imaginable that most people who
think about the subject at ali find no
more objection 20 the soldier because he
wears olive-drab or khaki than II he
wore the historic blue In either case he
must be neat in his attire. and unless
that quality prevails for the blue uniform
it will avail nothing more than has been
the case hitherto

The Humorists' Primer.


From the Chicago Tribune.
Instead of an exposition Mexico is 10
inaugurate a number Of public improve
ments, national IN extent and OF far
reaching value. Some 900 cities and towns
are TO start simultaneously public works
of the kind most needed in each par
ticular locality and costing on an aver
age 10000 each. The plan Is
worthy of the brain Of President Diaz
whether he originated or indorsed 1t.
The cooperation OF the national govern
ment and the local governments will
make this the most important event in
Mexican history since independence was
achieved Instead Of the centennial an
niversary leaving nothing but pleasant
memories and a big deficit the effects

nation produces a greater man than Diaz,
and that is an unlikely event.
