est cost of producing"
 Arizona produces her copper at a lower cost than any other region in the world
 ssIzS : IsSiIlssss sSS us re-state that assertion in this way: Arizona produces the sum total of her output at a lower cost than any other region in the world produces an equal q1antity-or than any other region at present known will ever be able to produce an equal quantity.
 This will prove a surprising state ment to many pretty well posted cop per experts. therefore. it should not be left to rest on mere assertion, and I will state the reasons from the official record further on
 But the first thing to determine is. what IS the cost Of producing copper? The question looks very simple to simple minds, but it is actually very involved and there is no way of de termining precisely the total cost of the total output for the whole country.
 But as to individual mines it can be determined pretty closely if there is any candid desire to so determine it, which commonly there isn't, but often l, a very uncandid desire to report it incorrectly for private motives. It is manifestly utterly misleading to determine the cost for any brief period of time as it frequently attempted, ig. noring many items of cost that cannot be reduced to certainly for a short period. Not even the most candid an nual report can commonly disclose the cost more than approximately. In any brief period, when the mine is in bo, nanza ore and the treatment plants are running to show cost which is less than half the general average for a longer period.
 Of course the only candid state ment is the general average.
 Many companies with good business management try to state the average fairly and honestly in their annual re. ports, and they come close enough to it for all practical purposes.
 Among the difficulties of arriving at the actual cost in any particular mine is the presence of gold or silver or both iii the copper.
 Some deduct the whole value of the precious metals from the cost and thus show very low cost for the copper. But such a statement of the case is manifes!ly childish and absurd-as if the gold and silver could be produced for nothing!
 Yet it is not a schoolboy's problem to distribute the cost fairly to the three metals where they occur together would make the bookkeeping complex without any great practical advantage The point I aim to enforce is that
 when you see the cost of producine stated at an abnormally low figure you may be certain that some import
 ant factor of cost has been omitted from the calculations and the most
 usual error is the childish assumption
 that it has cost nothing to produce the
 gold and silver. Yet ignoring the precious metals altogether there is g
 great diversity in the cost of produc
 ing copper in different districts and i' different mines in the same district, oi in the same mine at different periods What Is the Cost7

ArizOna's Pre-Eminence in Copper

In 1905 and again in 1906 the copper output of Arizona. as reported by the U. $. government, and also by the Engineering and Mining Journal, ex- ceeGed thar or Michigan. UIIt fSii s5sss,T | of MoRtans's output
 The record stands thus:
 Montana. 1905, S1s.Ooo.ooo pounds; 1906, soo.0oe. 900 pounds.
 Michigan, 1905, 2l9.o0o.Ooo pounds; 1906. 224 .0Oo. 900 pounds.
 Arizona, 1905. 22s.OoO.0O0 pounds; 1906. 2es s.eOo, 900 pounds. To avert the danger Of mistakes in printing figures have made the state ment in round millions. ignoring frae- 1ions of the million less than half, and ssfating more than half as a round mil lion.
 Arizona's output in 19O5 exceeded that of Michigan by 100000 pounds; in 1906 by se.000Ooe. Yet Michigan's output for 1905 and 1906 were the two greatest in her record.
 1905 the output of Montana ex- ,ceeded that of Arizons by 96,00o,000; in 1906 by only S7.000,00o pounds.
 Tis..e fact made clear by the above figures is that Arizona is rapidly forg- ing to the front as the worlds greatest producer of copper. She has already left Michigan behind in the race and is gaining on Montana al a rate that must, within the next two years, leave Montana in her rear-provided she can naintain her present pace.
 Can she do it?
 We will examine that question pres. ently
 l. may be said that Arizona's $ record for 1905 and 1906 was a spurt, Or that Michean and Montana showed 8 shrfnkaee due to accidental causes. No Miehigan's output was never so great as in 1906. and Montana's never so great for any period of two years as ia 1905 and 1906. though her out put vas less in 1906 than in 1905.
 Bat let us examine the case for a per,cd of six years from 1901 to 1906, both included:
 AFizona's output. 1901, was lS1,- 00e.o90
 Nienigan's output. 1901. was 15s.- O99. .ao1
 Mon,ana's output. 1901, was 2so.- 900 900.
 Ths percentage of increase for six years stood:
 Arizona (closely) .1O1 per cent
 
 Montana S3 per cent
 Average yearly rate of increase for the period stands: Arizona, IT per cent. Michigan, Is per cent; Mon. tans. , per cent
 Now if Montana maintain the same rate of increase 6 per cent a year) she should produce in 1908 exactly G,oo1, 900 pounds
 But if Arizona maintains her rate oi increase. CT per cent a year) for two years she will produce in 1908. 552. oGO,0o0 pounds, thus leading Montana by 2. .000,00s pounds.
 Can she do it?

San Francisco Has Large Relief Fund
Undistributed.

San Francisco, Feb. 26.-At a meet
ig to be held today the directors of the
relief and Red Cross funds corporation
and rehabilitation committee of the
relief work. it is expected that definite
action will be taken on thesfinal dis
posal of funds yet unappoIgionel and
undistributed. There is now reported
to be available between two and three
millions of dollars and it is the desire
of the relief workers to have their
plans in course of execution and all
funds accounted for prior to Thursday,
April. 1907, the first anniversary of
the San Francisco disaster.
In general, the relief workers are of
one opinion. as to the distribution of
the funds, the plan, roughly, being to
use $1,000 900 for hospital work,
$500. 600 for charity work to be carried
on by the various UNCONVENTIONAL and
fraternal organizations under the su-
pervision of the Associated Charities,
S150,000 for what is known as "con-
6dential' work among the needy and
the balance to meet outstanding OBJ
legations of the reconstruction and re-
habilitation committee. The business
cf the latter branches of relief is to be
finished by April 8 and the orga MIA

GRAIN BILL PASSES.
State Inspection Finally Upheld by the
Legislature.

The Schmidt grain bill passed the
house today without important amend
ments of any kind and will become a
law as soon as it is published in the
state paper. According to a provision
of the bill it would not have become a
law until itss publication in the statute
book but the author of the bill asked
that the clause be changed SO that il
will become a law at once as there is
no grain inspection law on the statute
book at the present time.
The old grain inspection law under
which the inspectors have been work.
ing in the past was declared to be un-
constitutional by Judge Pollock of the
federal court last week. The law pro-
vides for the weighing, grading and in
spection of the grains of the state as
we'll as for the appointment of a board
to be appointed by the governor. By
an amendment adopted this morning
the board will be compelled to get
along without a scale CLERK and the
duties which were to have devolved
upon him will fall upon the scale ex-
pert. J. I. Saunders managed to have
an amendment tackled on just before
the bill was passed intended to pre-
vent any member of the board from
riding to or from the meetings on free
ton.

years.
The engineers estimates on the
amount of money which the Topeka
& Southwestern railway will have 70

peka is $79,500 1t is planned to build
both a passenger and freight station,
a rOundhouse. small machine shops.
yards, and switches and the main 1fne-
inside the city limits. Although the
total expenditures of this company in
Topeka will probably be upwards of
$50, 900 the petitions which are being
circulated only ask aid at the hands
of the city of Topeka to the extent of
$50. 900.
Two-fifths of the taxpayers Will
have to be secured on the petitions 10

HOUSE STRIKES BACK.
Kills All But Enacting Clause in Sen
ate Rate Bill.

The house this morning voted to
strike out all but the enacting clause
in senate bill number II which is Sen
ator Smiths maximum freight rate bill
and to substitute house bill number 6
which is the maximum freight bill
which originated in the house. An
emergency was then declared and the
bill was read at noon and a special or
der made for two O'Clock subject to
amendment ard debate
When the bill is returned to the sem
ate it is not likely that that body will
recognize the creation bearing their
heading and will nonconcur in the bill
as amended by the house when they
substituted their bill for that of the
senate. Then will come conference
committee and upon the result of the
decision of this committee will depend
the fate of the maximum freight rate
bill which has been heralded as one
of the features of the session.
AS the matter now stands the bill is
in exactly the same position as the pri-
mary election bill. That bill having
been sent to the senate by the house,
where 1t was beheaded and the senate
bill substituted.
