"FITz-MAC' WILL WRITE ABOUT
 ARIZONA
Fitz- James McCarty, We'll Known Writer Now In Phoenix to Study the Copper Mines of Territory.

PHOENIX, Nov. 25.-Fitz-James Mo Carthy, known over the world as ''Fitz-Mac," a famous writer upon all subjects, is now in Phoenix. He is here foF tine winter and wifi here pur- sue his study of the copper situation in Arizona, writing a book he has started upon that subject.
 'Fftz-Mac" is one of the most unique characters of the west. He is an old-time newspaper man, and for a number of years was editor of the Denver Tribune. then owned by Tom Gleed. For twelve years he absolute ly controlled the politics of the state, not for gain, but for the simple joy Of moulding public opinion.
 He was strong yirile writer, but gave up newspaper work to study geology. He gained a thorough knowl- edge of mining and later began to write upon the subject. His articles have been copied all over the world They are written by one who not only understands mining, but can put his knowledge into words that can be un- derstood by all.
 He is the author of several books, which have had wide sale. But most of his work is done for the four daily and two weekly papers in Nevada. He is the man, who with a newspaper ar article started the famous Thunder Mountain stampede a few years ago He went into the district and after his return wrote up what he had seen. In two or three days the mountain was covered with tents and every foot Of ground had been taken up as mining claims.
 He also made Ely, riding into the barren desert 150 miles in a wagon to look over a barren waste. His newspaper articles stirred capitalists and prospectors alike, until Ely is now one of the most thriving towns in Nevada.
 Lately he has turned his attention to Arizona and to copper more than to gold. His writings will doubtless ! give this territory some of the pub ! licity which she needs.
 'Fritz-Mtc" is peculiarly handicap ped in life. He cannot hear anything | from the outside, but always carries silver plate. He places one end of this plate in his mouth, while the per son with whom he is conversing speaks with his lips close to the other. | In this manner the sound is conveyed | to the inner drum of his ears so that he hears perfectly.

~ titled THE Revival of Western Land Values"
Charles Moreau Harger says:
Western Land has increased in value during TIE
past seven years at the greatest rate in history. 1t is
selling now at higher prices than even il the other
boom Of the sos. Not only is this true in the we'll
tested farming lands of the older settled sections of the
Mississippi Valley, but it is as marked on the thigh
plains, where depression in realty values reached UNI
eNampled depths a few years ago.
For instance: The receiver of a bankrupt land and
loan company tried in vain to secure so cents an acre
for large tracts OF western Kansas land; now you
would be Fortunate to get the same land for less than
$40 an acre. Settlers who went west in prairie schoon
es in the early SOS and left in the middle COS tried to
induce Eastern holders of mortgages to surrender the
evidences OF debt in exchange for deeds. Failing, they
packed their goods and departed, to Oklahoma or to
the Northwest
We could have had possession of 200 farms mere
" by assuming the mortgages eight years ago. said
the manager of a loan company. Now those farms are
worth ST, 1000 each above the mortgages,-and they have
paid a good profit every year since the offers were
made
The economic effect on the Middle West from this
boom in land values is attracting attention from the
financial world. To be sure, the Westerner decries the
word BOOM" He declares that it is merely a healthy
growth. But when the value ola farm doubles in "a

SPlRITUALISTIC KISS
VIII Not Supereede Central Park Var
iety Though Gotham Is Looking
for New Sensations.

New York, Sept. 1i.-Amorous New
Workers are now busy contemplating
or experimenting with the spirit kiss"
which is the kind and denomination
visited by May Scannell-Pepper-Van-
derbilt, the medium" who got the
venerable Edward w. Vanderbilt 10
give her nearly everything he had
before she married him. Whether the
spirit kiss" will ever succeed the com
mon or Central Park" variety In pop.
ular usage and esteem cannot be fore
told at this early date. New York likes
novelties and a new kiss is rarer than
a new mixed drink. Not long ago an
eminent authority discovered that the
latest thing along Broadway was the
kiss on the eyes. II such an ethereal
pastime would find favor along the
sophisticated way, II is likely that the
spirit kiss" has chance for popular
ity. Though less satisfying perhaps,
than the long, lingering variety, known
as the Nethersole, IL is distinctly more
subtle and may serve as halfway
station in the too rapid transit from
hand TO mouth practiced here today.
II seems that the whole question cen
ters In whether the hss-''love feast"
as Cyrano De Bergerac called it.
should be a quick lunch or a course
dinner.
