MILITARY MATTERS;
 GUARD OF ALABAMA
By D. w. McIvER.

tice is annually given $5,000 for the ex- pense of Its members, and for the prizes in the National matches.
 The regular army and militia are well taken care of, but nothing has ever been done in this country to fos- ter civilian rifle clubs except what the National Rifle Association of America has done. his has been in very small way only, owing to the lack of funds. the only recourse available being the small annual income from membership fees and dues. If the movement to- ward civilian rifle clubs is to meet with any measure of success in the United States, 1t would seem necessary that some Inducements should De offered for citizens to organize clubs, in the way of arms and ammunition, permis sion to use the government and State ranges, prizes for excellence in com- petftive shooting, and assistance to- ward the building of small ranges
 A bill introduced by Representative Wiley, of Alabama, contemplates range for each Congressional District. We have number of States that do not own ranges ever for the use of their organized militia. This defect will, in measure, be corrected through the recent act of Congress increasing the annual appropriation for the militia to $2.00O,000, and requiring the States to use at least 25 per cent of their all lotment for building rifle ranges and practice. A State may use its total al- Iotment for this purpose, If it sees fit to do so. Under this law many of the States have begun and others will soon begin the building of ranges. and it is hoped that when completed they will be thrown open to the use of members of civilian clubs under proper regulations.
 The National Rife Association has in- augurated a policy of working in close aafinonY with the military autnoritles of the States. of broadening it's sphere of influence by securing life members and by forming new clubs. Offices have been established at 299 Broadway, New York, with the Secretary in charge. If the Association receives the proper CO., operation and support. we will very soon have in this country many thous- anas Of National Marksmen," as the member of rife clubs are called who qualify under the code adopted, using the army rifle.
 In his message to Congress, the Pres dent has this to say: We should es- tablish shooting galleries in,>an the large public and military schools. should in every way encourage the for nation of rife clubs throughout the country" This is not the first time the President has put himself on record as in favor of promoting rife shoot ing among the citizens of the coun- try.
 Not only the President, but Secretary of War Taft, Secretary Root, General Oliver, Assistant Secretary of War; gen. erals commanding the army, and many men prominent in the affairs of the country have also recognized the im- portance from the standpoint of nation al defense, of this subject, and the me- cessity of something being done to bring about the results for which the National Rifle Association of America has been striving for years.

An Aged JournaIist

Colonel Stephen N. Winslow, who died in Philadelphia last week, had been continuously connected with The Inquirer in that city since 1S42. For nearly half a century the commercial reports in that paper had been made up under his direction. Every busi- ness man of any prominence in the Quaker city knew Colonel Winslow, who in club and social circles had been long the youngest old kllow" in town Although nearly S1 years of age, he retained his ability as writer until a few days before his death. He wrote several books which are re- garded as standards by business men of Philadelphia.

 For the past two weeks our commit nity has been visited by a number or prominent visitors. Among them have been some of the most prominent men in the manufacturing, electric and financial circles of the South. The greater portion of last week MT. w. T. Garfield of Pensacola and MT. A F.: Giles of Atlanta were in and around Elba. This week Messrs. Ross C. smith. A. l.. Fulenwider of Birming- nam, and MT. Hanson of Macon, are here. They are doing a good deal Of travelling around in the country adla- . cent to Elba, and rumors are plenutul as to their business here. Certain II is that no more pleasure jaunt brings these active capitalists here and keeps them riding around In bad and good weather. These people who have been here have in their numbers members of some of the biggest electric, rall- road real estate, banking and lumber concerns in the South. Rumor has IL that they contemplate doing things that are to do great things for this town. and county if everything goes through smoothly.

 The Army BiIl.
 The army appropriation bill passed by the last Congress, 1t is hoped, m cluded the amendment for the exchange of rifles adopted by the government for those in the hands of the militia. Among some of the most important amendments were the following:
 Changing the name of the Military Secretary's Department to that of Ad- jutant Generals Department.
 Providing for assignment of pay ac- counts by commissioner officers.
 Giving to officers and men the status of public duty while detailed at the Jamestown Exposition.
 Providing for the detail, with the rank of major, of a principal assis- tant to the Chief of the Bureau Of ln- sular Affairs and applying to him the present law relating to transfers or line officers to and from the staff Tor tours of service.
 Providing for the promotion to lieu tenant colonel when a vacancy occurs of the officer now holding a permanent appointment as major in the Military Secretary's Department.
 Providing for laundries at military posts and for furnishing quarters or officers and men with necessary light at government expense, and such heavy permanent furniture for officers quar- ters as the Secretary of War may ap- prove of.
 Authorizing the use of government transports by members of Congress and other officers of the government while travelling on official business and the carriage of general passengers on the transports to Guam.
 Fixing the time when leaves of ab- sence from the Philippines shall com mence, so amended as not to include travel between an officers station and Manila.

Goal Mine Horrors,

Not in the entire history of coal mining in the world have so many mine horrors been reported in so short time. Not less than dozen catas- trophes have occurred in widely sepa- rated parts of the country within the last sixty days, hundreds of lives be- ing plotted out by explosions of mine dust or deadly black damp. The lat est comes from Connellsville, Pa., where two hundred and fifty men have perished in the Darr mine from an ex plosion of dust. In the past year more than six thousand lives were lost aLd over 22,OOO men were injured in the coal mines of the United States, being the greatest number in the history of the industry. This year reports far greater number of deaths, with less number of injured.

Are Near Crude Oil,

If the artesian belt south of Stafford in Graham county is not the scene of great oil excitement within the neX, thirty days, every sign will fail.
 During the past ten days visitor, from Stafford country, familiar with conditions at the test well, have been very optimistic in their utterances, that it was only a question of time and depth when oil would be en. countered and the fuel problem of that section of Arizona solved.
 The well Is now down l4S3 feet and is cased with 4-inch piping from top to bottom. The drill is going down at the rate of about fifty feet per day. At 1900 feet the drill penetrated vel low gumbo. It then passed into brown shale and lime rock and Is now in gumbo, the probable capping for a sand bed of oil or the rock that cover, the vein.-Pro>prctor.

No Suspension of Assessment Work

Last Wednesday the U. $. senate discussed the Perkins bill for the sus- pension of assessment work for l9O7.S, and much opposition developed. The measure was finally defeated by Sena- tor Carter, who called for an execu- tive session as the bill was going to be voted on. This leaves all possibil- ity of the passage of the measure out of the question, at least for this year. It is possible that relief measure will be passed suspending the annual work during 1908, later in the session, as the belief is that such a measure would afford considerable relief to the small mine owners of the country during the hard time consequent on the shutting down of hundreds of mines throughout the mining territory of the west.

 c. H. Burlock and Mir. Williams, If San Diego, who are interested in the San Diego Mining company, arriv, d in Kingman yesterday and departed to the mines at Union Pass and Silver Creek. They will arrange to have alt assessment work done on the proper ties before the first of the year. Mr.. Williams is an old mining man and is here to make an examination of the mines. The company has some good property and it is to be hoped that work will be started up on a large scale as a result of the visit of the gentlemen to the mines.
 The Tawa Development company has filed a petition in voluntary bank ruptcy in the Maine federal court This company recently operated in u e Cottonwood mining district, eight miles east of Blackberry, where it pur chased some mining property and bonded and leased large group, on which they made part payment. After operating the mines for num- Der of months work was suspended and one after another of the company's of fcers hied themselves eastward, osten- sibly for the purpose of arranging a settlement of all indebtedness. It is needless to remark that none of them came back, and the creditors filed at tachments on the property. After waiting months the company filed it's petition, evidently bent on defeating the creditors at this end of the line from the collection of their debt The mines owned by the company are said u be valuable and that the creditors are willing to take them for the amount of the indebtedness.

Col. P. R. Smith, the successful
 mining promoter, of Deming, was in Silver City last week. Col Smith
 was instrumental in turning the deal
 whereby the Victoria mines at Gage on the Southern Pacific in Luna coun- ty passed from the hands of the Hearst
 Haggin estates into the possession of large lead interests who will add a lOO-ton stack to the Demming smelter to treat the ore. Over l,5OO,O in lead, gold and silver has been shipped from the Victoria mines during the Hearst-Haggin ownership and the deepest working is not over POO feet
 Mir. Smith has had his eye on this property for the last fifteen years but was never able to get hold of it un- til quite recently, as Col. Head, one of the owners, steadily refused to sell it. Recently Col. Head died, and the mining claims in which he and the late Senator Hearst and John B. Hay- gin were interested passed into the control of Mr. Haggin with instruc- tions from the heirs of the Head Hearst
 states, to sell them. There were about l,50O claims located in all parts If America. As soon as Col. Smith, head of the contemplated action. got in communication with the western manager of MT. Haggin with the re- suit that he got an option on the property. Almost immediately he placed the property with large lead in New York and as result the famous old mine is to be reopened and large industry established. The name of the company operating the mine is the National Mining & Smelt- ing Co.-Silver City Enterprise.

Abnormal Copper Exports.

Last month there was exported from the United States to European ports nearly thirty four thousand tons of copper, compared with a little over eighteen thousand tons for the corre- spending month last year. The Eu- ropean is taking advantage of the low price of the red metal to lay in a SUD- ply for the future. Copper is lower now than it will be again for years.
