Preserving Liberty,

In the centuries immediately past we have had to deal with the problem of securing liberty. Today we have to face the problem of preserving it. It is great mistake to assume that the problem is the easier of the two. The hardships and dangers connected with it are less tangible; but they are on that account all the more difficult to assume. We have no longer to face the peril of the scaffold or the privation of the revolutionary camp; but we have to face and accept the peril and privation of imposing upon ourselves standards of cordH"t higher and duties more burden some than those we have hitherto recog- niged either in law or in morals. Free dom has always required the exercise of courage to defend it from the as- saults of its adversaries. It today re- quires the exercise of public spirit and personal self-restraint to guard against the excesses of those who deem them selves to be its friends.

 GOLD AND SILVER
 IN THE TERRITORY
THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEYS COM. PILIATIoN OF FIGURES FOR
 THE YEAR OF 1906.

WASHINGTON, December 7.-The production of both gold and silver in Arizona in 1906 was in excess of that in 1905, according to the statistics col lected by the United States geological survey.
 The gold production amounted to $2,- 964, ,6S3, an increase of $165,469. Some what less than one-half of this pro- duction came from Yavapai county, which includes the Prescott mining region.
 Mohave, Cochise and Yuma counties come next, none of the remaining coun. ties reaching the $100,O00 mark. In Mohave and Yuma counties the larger part of the gold is derived from sili- ceous ores, while in Cochise fve-sixths of the gold is derived from copper and lead ores.
 In Yavapai county somewhat more than one-fourth is derived from sili- ceous ores, the remainder from copper ores. For the state as a whole ap- proximately the same amounts of gold are derived from siliceous ores and from copper ores. The placer produc- tion approximates 0,000 derived part. ly from dry washings. On the whole the mining industry experienced sue.

Western Rivers Transportation.

A government census report on the vessels exceeding five tons on the Mis- sissippi river and its tributaries, cover ing last year, makes the total 9,69S, without including fishing craft. These vessels, with an aggregate tonnage of 4,500,000, are valued at $23,500,0O0, handled 20,S00,000 tons of freight, car ried 13,600,00 passengers and had an income for the year ended with last December of $l7,600,OO. These figures are sufficient answer to the charge that there is nothing doing on the waters of the Mississippi valley. A lonely stretch on some river where neglect has demoralized water traffic is misleading basis on which to form a general judgment. That the water ways have been sighted is true, but that com merce has deserted or condemned them is wholly erroneous notion.
 What the western rivers need is chan nels open the year round and boats adapted to the economies of transporta- tion. Until the permanent channels are assured the boats will not be built.

Caruso Gave Up the Flute.

Caruso, before he realized the cap abilities of his voice, used to play the flute. One day, when he was practicing, man called upon him to try and sell photograph on the installment plan. "See," said the man,. "you can make your own records. I will show you, v and he put on blank cylinder. Caruso played a flute solo. He played his very best into the machine. Then the man put in the cylinder, and the music began to issue forth. "Is that meP' cried the flute player, in alarm. "Yes sir" "Really mel Just as I playedf' Precisely, sir. Now I am sure you want to buy the phonograph." "No, mol" cried Caruso. "I want to sell the flute.'' That is how he gave up flute playing and took to singing.

cessful year. The mining of siliceous ores yielded less than in 1905, but there was an increase from copper ores and also from lead ores. Unless the pro- duction of siliceous ores greatly increas- es there is reason to expect small de- cline in gold production in 1907.
 Silver was produced to the amount of 3,026,43S fine ounces in Arizona, an in crease of 420.726 ounces. Cochise coun- ty leads, closely followed by Yavapai, both approximately 100000 ounces. Next follows Gila, with HOODS ounces, and Graham, with 107, ,045 ounces. The great copper mines at Clifton and Globe furnish large part of the silver out put in Graham and Gila counties. The Cochise county product is almost even ly distributed between the copper ores of Bisbee and the lead ores of Tomb stone and other camps. Siliceous ores contribute large amount to the silver recovered in Yavapai county. As the silver of Arizona is predominately de- rived from copper ores, it is likely that reduction of the copper output for 1907 will adversely affect the output of Silver.

head of the house at the time had been an officer of high rank in the confed crate army. Sitting on the veranda one day conversing with his wife, he suddenly turnde pale and ceased talk. ing. His wife, thinking he was ill rushed to his assistance.
 In voice filled with emotion, he uttered two words: "The lane!'' Glancing in that direction, she saw the form of the revolutionary fighter in his whirlwind charge down the lane, through the fences and into tn main road.
 Both rose and entered the house, wondering to themselves who would be the next to die, as it had now become firmly imbued in their minds that the reappearance of the "banshee" meant death in the family. This time the wife was the sacrifice.
 During the blizzard in March, 1899, a Virginia regiment organized for the Spanish h-American war was camped near a far southern city. About two a. m. the writer was awakened by the fren- zied tones of soldier outside the tent.
 The soldier was the son of the con- federate officer. With voice filled with grief he stated that messenger had just brought him telegram an nouncing the sudden death of his father at his Virginia home. The soldier was immediately granted furlough.
 Upon his return to the regiment he gave an account of the death of his father. He said that the only occu- pants of the old mansion at the time were his father and sister While sup erintending the preparation of supper the daughter of the house saw her fath- CT go to the side window of the library.
 He suddenly pointed his finger in the direction of the lane and fell over dead. Whether he saw the supernatural rider will never be known, as he died with out uttering word.
 Pursued by this misfortune, those who had remained at home secured the consent of the members of the family who had cast their fortunes elsewhere

When the war of the revolution called to arms the colonists to fight for inde- pendenee rugged old planter of Vir- ginia was one of the first to respond. This hero made a fighting record that compared with the records of the best gererals who served under the Father of His Country.
 Surrounded by every comfort, the possessor of fine old colonial mansion and broad acres, this man, descending from fighting stock, at the call for troops, went to his barn, saddled his horse, mounted and galloped down an old lane to the nearby town and there raised company of men and marched them north to join the army of Wash ington.
 After valiantly fighting during the entire revolution, earning for himself a -e0utat;on as a general exceeded only by George Washington, the old hero returned to his home and acres, there living in peace and happiness until he su--orde~od 10 the Great Commander.
 For the first few years succeeding his deatn affairs on the plantation moved along quietly. But one summer day as two male members of the family were crossing a field directly in front of the homestead both were startled by the sight of the old hero, mounted on his favorite horse, dashing madly down the old lane and turning into the main road leading to the town.
 'maved at the apparition, they hur. ried home and related what they had so storv was the subject of rail lery among their kinsmen, who placed no credence in 1t.

A TRUE GHOST STORY The Fatal Vision of the Horseman of '76

A short time afterward the elder of the two men died suddenly.
 Several years later the daughters of the house were returning from visit to a neighbor, and entered the place through the lane on short cut. The one driving suddenly screamed in af- fright and drew the horse and vehicle h,cle out of the road.
 The occupants of the carriage saw the old general approaching them on horseback, coming at furious rate of speed. He passed them and again head ed for town. It was not long before another member of the family passed away.
 Then the ghostly appearance and sud den deaths were sought to have some connection. The head of the family, seeking to prevent another such occur renee, had the old lane plowed up and rail fences run through it at the divid- ing lines of the fields.
 Years passed and the spectral ances- tor was almost forgotten. There h'!d been deaths and births in the fami y circle, but nothing more had been secn of the apparition.
 But again it appeared. Charging down the site of the old lane one d'iy, the revolutionary warrior was seen m'ik- ing his way to the town. When fence was reached he passed through it emerging in the opening and headed for the next line ofrails, which he rode through without hindrance.
 The story was recalled, and conster- nation reigned in the household. The inevitable happened and a daughter succumbed after brief illness.
 Again there was long lapse. The

The Standard Oil investigation has brought out the fact that the first bot tie of vaseline was made in Ohio. The discoverer was pr. Charles l.. Morehouse of any old Ohio family. Vaseline is a sort of by-product of petroleum. Near. ly half century ago Dr. Morehouse was in the oil business in Ohio. This was at the time John D. Rockefeller was getting his beginning. He claims Standard Oil crushed him almost to the point of poverty. It was in the six ties that Dr. Warehouse, while carry ing on some other experiments, discov- cred vaseline, and bottle of it was exhibited at one of the Ohio state fairs, where it was awarded a medal.
