WASHINGTON. March e.-The Navy

mates for the construction OF the two
big battleships from the navy yards at
New York, Norfolk and Mare Island, as

in readiness to invite proposals by May

lieve it will be July 1, at least. before
the department is able TO open the bids.
There has been some talk Of encourag-
ing a rapid construction OF the naval
vessels and possibly the period named

toward determining the award of con-
tract. provided there is no great diff
ference IN the amounts OF the bids. It

of work at the shipyards and the eager
ness OF shipbuilders to obtain Govern
ment orders II will be possible to have

Less Than ows Year
Several years ago Mrs. Miller learned
iof a mild and simple preparation that
icured herself and several friends of fe-
male weakness and piles. She was be-
sieged by so many women needing
treatment that she decided to furnish
IL TO those who might call for IL. She
started with only a few dollars capital,
and the remedy, possessing true and
wonderful merit, producing many cures
when doctors and other remedies failed.
the demand grew so rapidly she was
several times compelled to seek larger
quarters. She now occupies one OF the
city's largest ONCE buildings, which
she owns. and almost one hundred
clerks and stenographers are required
20 assist In this grea1 business.

In Cochise and YavapaI the

This is not all. In Graham county
in order to treat this low grade
ore it must be concentrated at q
heavy expense before going to the
smelter. Hundreds of thousands
of dollars have been spent here in
erecting concentrators, The high
grade ore does not have to be con-
centrated. Another difficult prob,

create unequal taxation.
