Standard OIL Bank" thoroughly
analysed the situation in a speech
before the Virginia Bankers conven-
tion at Jamestown and said: :"There
is no inherent reason in the condi-
lions Of agriculture. trade, Industry
and finance in the United States that
would make necessary period OF
further disturbance and depression. /"
He believes that II spirit OF fair
ness and intelligence is shown in the
railroad problems the country is
working out at present so that In
vestors will be reassured and II we
refrain from Legislation based upon
political advantage" and DO not
adopt sociallstic theories that VIII
amount to coniscatlon OF property
rights. there is no danger ahead.
President Roosevelt recently de-
clared in public address that 1.-THE
rights of innocent investors should
not be jeopardized by legislative or
executive action" and that this ma
tion would no more injure securities
which have become part Of the ma
tional wealth than 1t would consider
a proposition to repudiate the nation
al debt" which Is an assurance that
the probabilities suggested by Mr..
Vanderbilt will not materiallze. The
Wall Street Journal says that there
are so many people in this country
enjoying property rights that they
will not be very apt to join in q
crusade or agitation leading toward
confiscation.
The recent slumps in Wall street
showed that the country can manage
to run along fairly well in spite Of
any occasional agitation in that
financial quarter and also that the
street is no longer the nations bust
ness barometer.
A review of the situation and the
general outlook Is indeed most en-
couraging even in face of the hard
time talk that Democratic newspa-
pers are desperately working over
hours on for their political advant-
age. We have prosperity and the
means to keep 1t and it is highly
probable that we are going to keep
It just ms long as We can.

the Standard OIL Company, how does
Rockefeller now reconcile his fear of
going to court. with the knowledge
tina. Il he knew nothing, he could not
get into trouble? 1t seems passing
strange that he knew so little about
the business that brings him in mil
lions every year but possibly it
takes all his time to count his
money. and he could not waste any
time in learning any OF the details
Of the business the past severa!
years. Apparently he knows so lit
tie about the business Of the Stand
ard that his name ought not to be
connected with the company any
longer.

Incrcased Value Of Saw I,oys.

The increased value Of log stump
age IS reflected in the increased value
of the products Of the lumber camps.
Saw logs. the principal product Of
the industry, increased in quantity
from 25.279,7O2 thousand feet in
1900 to 27.9sO.76s in 1905, a gain
of 1922 per cent The number Of
railway ties reported increased from
22,524.64O 10 36,i45,20s, or 61.8
per cent; while their value increas-
ed from sG.277,439 to S12,413,793,
of 97S per cent. The average value
OF tie rose from % cents in 1900
to 81 cents in 1905. In this con-
ncctIon 1t should be noted that the
census figures do not include ties
cut by farmers during the winter
months and sold directly to the rail-
roads. 1t should also be noted that
the figures are for hewn ties. Sawed
ties are forming an increasing per
centage Of the total production OF
railway ties In the country, and they
are reported by the mills in thousand
feet under the heading Of rough tim
Der. The other products Of the lum-
Der camp generally show an in
crease both In quantity and value.
Hemlock bark. however. decreased
in quantity from 471.SO2 cords 10
391.G91 cords, but it increased in
value from $1.94O,O57 to $2,347,-

MExICANS ARE SUPERST|TIOUS
 PEOPLE
You May Hear From His Lips Hair Raising Stories of Ghosts, Fairies Devils and Unlucky Numbers.

Mexlcans enjoy the well earned rep utation of being the most supersti- tious race of the world. Superstition exists wherever there is a human be- ing, but Mexico seems to be the place where all human superstitions are centered. Tu such an extent is this true that superstition has become all most kind of religion, governing ev- ery act of the people.
 Take the average Mexican of the poorer classes, says the Mexican Her .ald, and you may hear from his lips hair-raising stories of ghosts and fair ies and devils. He will tell you of the rare qualities of many animals, plants and stones, of the things you can do and those you cannot do on certain days of the week or month, and, finally, he will invite you to make the sign of the cross to drive away the devils and ghosts that may have been attracted by the converse ton you have had.
 From their earliest childhood the peons are taught to make the sign of the cross before going to sleep at night and before touching the floor with their toes in the morning. Maid ems, until they become brides, are urged by their mothers to put their shoes point against point under their bed at night to bring happy dreams, and win even enable them to converse with the Virgin during their sleep.
 When dressing the right sl.oe (nev- CT the left) is put on first. The but tons of the suit are buttoned upwards, that is, starting with the lowest and ending at the top. This is to signify that we are very low in this earthly planet but that during the day we will try to go upward. Furthermore, this practice, if faithfully and con stantly observed, will lead us very high, to Heaven, when we die. The contrary will take us down to inferno.

DOUGLAS, Jan. z.- Especially -
 E. A Hockley, who owns several groups of gold and copper mines in the Huachuca mountains, sixteen miles south of Hereford. has been in Douglas during the holiday season. This morning he talked to represent atiye of the International-Amsrican concerning operations in the section where he is interested. MT. Hoekley exhibited a magnificent piece Of pea cock copper, which was taken from one of his properties. and also some beautiful gold quartz, almost as white as snow, showing specks of gold all through 1t. The mines have only been partially developed, though there have been many tons of good shipping orc taken out. Mir. Hockey will not ship any Of his ore. preferring to await bet ter and cheaper transportation facil- ities. which he is confident will come to the district in the near fIture.
 Very near to the properties owned by MT. Hockey, some of them adjoin- ing. is the Butte and Arizona com pany. belonging to the Amalgamated, which is doing development with a force of some forty men, having five drill compressor plant This property is making an excellent showing and it is the opinion that it will not be long until either the matter of branch line of the El Paso and Southwestern railroad to the camp is taken up, or the erection Of a smelter VIII be under way on the property.
 In the same vicinity the Princeton company also has a fiye-drill compress or and is working a good sized force. This district is somewhat isolated and has attracted but little attention, but year it will reach a stage of prodIe- tion and thez become better known to the mining world. MT. Hockley de clared this morning that gold mine in Mexico with a showing equal to one Of his in the Huachucas would com mand a fabulous price, but in the Hua- chuca mountains 1t had not attracted any attention except from those who had been watching it's development. Mir Hockiey is not offering any of his properties for sale and their develop ment is an individual enterprise of his own.
 Several years ago Mir. Hockley pur. chased several lots ia Douglas which he has held ever since, and he an. nounced today that during the pres. ent year he would probably erect a home here At present he and bis family are alying in rented house.

PAINE's COPPER LETTER.

Special Wire to Duey & Overlook )
 BOSTON, Jan. Cooper stocks oc. cupied the center of the stage today. They were all active, and in most cases showed good advances. Trinity open ed up at $4 and held it's rise all day. Al louez was active at higher prices, the best of the buying coming from New York. Osceola is very quiet. We believe that the large buyers are only waiting for more stocks to collect be- fore bidding the price up. Shannon is being rapidly taken out of the street, and will advance easily between S20 and s30. It is possible that Tam arack will be taken into the new con- bination, and the stock acted well to- day.
