Arizona Should Establish Separate
School of Mines.

Though the department of mining
in the territorial university at Tue
son is ably conducted it is an incon
trovertible fact that Arizona needs {
school entirely devoted to teaching
the science of mining.
Mining is too important not to be
taught as a branch in any state OF
territory, especially in Arizona, one
of the leading producers of minerals
I This is not matter that concerns
the mine owners so much as it does
the young men of Arizona. The mine
from the eastern schools of mines,
that is where practically all of them
come from now, but Arizona cannot
afford to have these positions filled
by imported men while thousands of
her own young men are seeking voca-
tions in which they may make their
fortunes.
A bralnier set than the young men
of Arizona may not be found in any
part of the country, but it takes
more than brains to make mining
expert or manager. 1t takes special
instruction, expert and thorough in
structions. There is no other pro-
fession, perhaps, that so absolutely
requires a technical knowledge if the
top of the ladder or even any of the
higher rungs are to be reached.
And there is no profession in which
reputation and money are more surely
to be made if the man who enters it
is properly equipped.
Consider the almost countless mum
Der of mines in Arisona, each one af-
fording opportunity for expert en-
ployment at the present time, and
yet the development goes steadily on
and not only that but the field Is
wider than the territory of Arizona.
An endless army of American mining
experts is ceaslessly pouring oyer the
border into Mexico. By companies
they go, battaliOns and by regiments.
and yet the demand remains unsatis-
fed, rather does the deficit grow
greater owing to the wonderful min
eral development of our sister re-
public.
Many Arizona young men have
gone to the technical schools in the
east thus securing a finished educa-
tion but the number is but very
small percentage of the number de-
string a thorough training in the
sciences of mining. It takes money,
a whole lot of it, to carry one through
d course in an eastern school aud not
every young man can command it to
be used for this purpose
Arizona can render her young men
no greater service than to enlarge
her plans covering the teaching If
and establish a. school of
the first and only object of
which shall be the giving OF thorough
instructions in that line.
Let Arizona establish such an in
stitution, give it a competent and
faculty and then appropriate
plenty of money for its proper maiu-
tenance and enlargement from time
to time and the time will come whe
the statement that young man is Il
gI aduate of the "Arizona school o
will be sufficient recommenda-
tion to secure for him the best of
openings in his profession.
And as the Paradise Record, Ari-
zona, remarks. ''since it takes years
to build up a school of this kind the
territory could not begin the task too
soon. Ell Paso Herald.

SHANNON COPPER COMPANY.
Earns $SOO,O Net for the Fiscal Year,
or $500 Per Share.

Boston-The fiscal year of the
Shannon company ends with August
and present indications are that net
earnings for the year will be in the
neighborhood of SS00,OOO after all
i charges, the retirement of 100000
bonds, and the payment out of earn
ings for the many improvements of
the past year, including construction.
This would equal S2.66 per share
upon the outstanding 100000 shares.
During the year threa dividends of
80 cents each have been declared,
calling for the payment of S450,OOO.
For the past twelve months the
average price for copper received by
the Shannon company was about %
cents, starting at 1908 cents per
pound for the month of September
a year ago. The highest price re-
ceived during the year was 25.065
cents, the average for March, while
| last month the average was 2l.l30
cents, and for August the average
should be not tar from Is cents.
Net earnings of SSOO,OOO compare
with S333, 200 for the fiscal year ended
with August, 1906, which equalled a
trifie over 81 per share.
During the past year the Shannon
company has done considerable new
construction. 1t has added ten new
houses to its real estate holdings, put
in two new blowers in its smelter, an
electric light plant, a new 1000-ton
furnace, added to its concentrating
capacity and has maintained its
mines.
The most important feature of the
years record was the placing of the
stock upon a dividend basis, and
while the 81 dividend rate may not
be maintained if the price of copper
continu IS to decline there is every
reason to anticipate that stOckhold-
earnings sufficient to return them

selling price If the shares.
The ore reserves of the Shannon
property have been well maintained
and for every ton of ore taken out
during the year another ton has been
placed in reserve, and it is figured
that reserves now aggregate about
600, 900 tons. The mines are now in
shape to produce $4,000 tons of ore
per annum.

DRUGS BY ELECTRICITY.
Partisan Scientist Says He Has Dis
covery for Medical World.

PARIS. Jan. 3.-Professor Stephane
Leduc, whose experiments in the
chemical production of live have been
much talked about lately, came up to
Paris yesterday to present to thel fac
ulty two new inventions of great in
tereSt
At the Broca hospital he explained
a method which he has discovered for
administering drugs by electricity
the scientific name of which is ioniza-
ton. BY way of proving his theory
that drugs could be administered by
the passing of an electric current, the
professor shaved the back of rabbit
and put compress of sulphite Of
strychnine on it.
This violent poison did the animal
no harm. but Immediately after the
passing of an electric current the rab-
bit died, the electric current having in
troduced the poison into it's system.
Professor Leduc considers that Joni
cation should prove extremely useful
in the curing of rheumatism, sciatica,
locomotor ataxia and paralysis.
The professor also showed his col
leagues an interesting experiment
with electricity as an anesthetic. He
put a rabbit to sleep by means of the
electric current. under the influence
of which the animal could be cut with
out feeling pain. The professor kept
the rabbit asleep for ten minutes, and
then stopped the current, and the ami
mad opened it's eyes and sat up.
This new method of producing anes-
thesia is likely, Professor Leduc con-
siders to replace chloroform and
ether at very early date, and is OF
immense Importance to medical
science.

LEARNING MONKEY TALK.
Miss Simonton of Pittsburg Writes
Hopefully from Congo Jungle.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Jan. 3.-AccOrd-
ing to a letter which has been re-
ceived in this city by the mother OF
Miss Ida Veronica Simonton the Pitts
burg girl who went to Africa to study
the language of the monkeys, that
young woman is now comfortably es-
tablished in her bamboo hut in the
Congo jungle.
Miss Simonton left this country on
Aug l and arrived at Fernan VaZ, in
Africa, Oct l. From that village she
went in canoe up the Congo, accom-
panied by a missionary from the
Sleeping Sickness mission and num-
Der of natives. The natives erected
in the jungle a hut for Miss Simonton,
in which she is now busy studying the
chattering of the monkeys. Two hun
dred yards away from this bamboo hut
is a more substantial one, in which
she sleeps at night and in which two
natives and the missionary are sta
toned constantly to go to the assist
ance of Miss Simonton in case she
should be attacked by wild animals
This hut is out of sight of the bamboo
hut. but close enough so that Z re-
volver shot could be heard in case of
attack.
In her letter Miss Simonton says
she is progressing rapidly with her
work. She is equipped with a phono-
graph, upon which to record the cries
of the monkeys. She believes she is
already able to distinguish words.

the British navy have recently been

In the plans submitted there appears
to be desire to get extra force in one
direction even at the cost of force in

Money Making Christians.

Those who decry the development Of
vast fortunes may be interested in the
novel argument put forth by James
Paterson Gladstone in a recent book
entitled should Christians Make For
tunes?" This writer believes that the
honest adoption and faithful living up
to Of the principles expounded by
Christ would put restraint upon the
growth Of private capital and prOba-
bly, abolish it altogether" The effect
upon individuals and masses of strict
obedience to Christ's teachings Mr..
Gladstone thus portrays:
1t would call a halt to the mad pace at
which most are rushing along. 1t would
spread the crushing work of ten or twen-
ty or thirty years over forty or nifty
years; men would not be too old lat

who have more physical force-though
not always that. The quieter and saner
life among a great body Of Christian
people would have a calming influence
upon the rest
And, further, this unworldly manner OF
living does not imply that Christians
would be poor. as that word is generally
understood. Their avoidance of laying
up treasures on earth would tend to SIM

That the church of Christ has always
inclined toward some form of ''com-

avows, but he rises to very high
plane Of economic thought when he de-
clares that ''men and women are the
real capital" To quote further:
A nation that has a large body Of men
who do not enter into competition to be
