To Tunnel Mont Blanc.

The war of tunnels is on in the Alps. The completion of the Slmplon route, followed by the tunneling of the Der nese Oberland, now in progress. has revived discussion in France and Italy of the project for great series of tun' nels under Mont Blanc and the Juras The object would be to prevent the di. version of traffic toward the valley of the Rhine. Engineers have calculated that a tunnel of about eight miles length would suffice to penetrate the giant of the Alps. The cost is placed at S12, 100000 that of piercing the Ju. ras at S23,000,O00. The cost for ap- breaches to the Mont Blanc tunnel is estimated at S3,000,000. The shorten. ing of the route between the English channel and northern Italy would be only sufficient to save two hours time on the railroad, but the friends of the project expect that these two hours would surely give to France the traffic that she now loses.-Youth's Compan- ion

A Rival to Radiunn.

Scientists in Germany say that a substance has been prepared which shows the same radio activity as that of radium bromide. It is said that the substance is uranyl molybdate. The molybdate is formed by adding ammo mia molybdate to uranyl nitrate. when white amorphous powder separates. This is dried in the dark and apparent ly must be kept there. as it is unstable. Report says that it gives radio active effects which are practically as intense as those given by radium. Though costly-namely, about S110 an ounce the price is not so enormous as that of radium, which has reached many thou sand dollars for the same quantity.

UNCLE SAWS CAMELs.
A Government Experiment. of Over Half a Century Ago..

A Government Experiment of Over '3 Half "a Century Ago.
 How many modern readers of our newspapers ever knew that Uncle Sam once engaged in the camel business to provide transportation across the burn ing sands? In 1853 congress appropri- ated $30.000 for the purchase and inn portation of camels, looking to the use of that animal as an aid to army transportation across what was then popularly called the Great American desert. embracing California, Arizona, New Mexico and the greater part of northern Texas. Congress was influ- enced to take this action because of the successful use of the camel in semiciviized warfare by the French in Algeria and by the British in the orient.
 It fell to the lot of Jefferson Davis, then secretary of war and later the president of the Confectionery, to carry out the wishes of congress. He detail ed Lieutenant (after AdmiraD D. D. Porter, U. S. N., and Major Henry c. i Payne, U. s. A., to proceed to northern ! Africa and Asia Minor to buy the beasts. The expedition brought back seventy-five camels, one drove of thlr- ty-one being shipped in the naval store ship Supply and another of forty-one | in the United States warship Suwanee. Both vessels landed their live cargoes | at Enh 1CE-
 They were driven thence to Camp Verde in the care of three Arab cam el drivers, who were brought out for the purpose under a years contract. That year, in response to request from the senate Secretary Davis made an elaborate report of the expedition, which was subsequently, published as an illustrated volume of 300 pages. The experiment was not success. Its failure was attributed to the fact that the camels became footsore and stall ed as soon as they attempted to travel over the rocky country outside the sandy plains. and it ended in the re- 1 lease of the animals in the Colorado desert to shift for themselves. There the camels thrived and multiplied. One of the herds contained over 100 head.
 The miners and prospectors, howev- CT, did not take kindly to their pres ence, because they stampeded pack an- imals and other domesticated stock whenever they came in sight. It re. suited finally in war of extermina- ton being waged against them as com- mon nuisances, and what few escaped that raid were slaughtered by the Ari- zona Indians for their flesh. Although this experiment with the camel as a beast of burden failed. it was probably due to misuse of the animal rather than to any natural shortcoming in it, as its great value as d burden bearer in Africa and Asia is undoubted.-Den- yer Field and Farm.

Lif. of rsI.nranh Poles.

During the past fifty-two years the telegraph department of the German government has experimented with various preservatives to prolOng the life of telegraph poles. Records kept of 100000 poles show that creosote is the most useful substance that can be employed to keep the poles from rot ting. Impregnated with creOsote a pole will last more than twenty years. Corrosive sublimate preserves for thir- teen years. and it is the next best thing to proIong the life of wood. Poles which have not been impregnated with any preservative last only seven years.

SUICIDES IN
 TOMBSTONE
Herself at Tombstone by Taking a Dose of Morphine-W Wanted to Leave Earthly Cares Behind

A dispatch from Tombstone dated the Sth says:
 Mrs. James Griffith, resident of this city for the past three years. and at one time a resident of Bisbee, commit ten suicide this afternoon between the hours of and , clock, by taking a dose of morphine. The woman left a note by her bedside in which she stated that she was unhappy and had at last decided to leave all earthly cares be- hind her.
 At the time of taking the morphine with suicidal intent, her husband, who is miner, was at work at the Tomb stone shaft. He was quickly notified and hurried to the bedside of his dying wife, but she expired before he reached her. The unconscious body was discov- cred by roomers in the house, who sum- moned' Dr. Hugardt. A stomach pump was applied, but all efforts to save the woman's life were unavailing and she died in few moments after the doctor arrived.
 The family came here from Colorado about a few years ago. MT. Griffith is miner and recently returned from Globe. During his absence, and prior to that time, Mrs Griffith has been run. ming lodging house at the corner of Fourth and Bruce streets, the scene of the suicide today.

 PREDICTION
Delegate Mark Smith on Return to Washington Says that Arizona Will Enter the Union in Four or Five Years as Single State.

When the joint statehood bill was being discussed last winter one of the most bitter opponents of it was Marcus A. Smith, the delegate from Arizona. He fought the provision making Ari- zona state jointly with New Mexico and after it was defeated returned to his constituents and engaged in the fight in the territory, which terminated in an overwhelming vote against joint statehood. He took his seat in the house of representatives on the opening day of this congress, but soon left for Jackson Springs, Tenn, for rest, and did not return to Washington until last Thursday.
 ''I believe that within four or five years we shall have a law providing separate statehood for both Arizona and New Mexico" said Delegate Smith up on his return. "It is inevitable that the developed resources and increased population of each of the territories will demand it. One county and many towns in Arizona have doubled their popula- ton in the past five years and it is safe to predict that the entire territory will in half decade have more than 100000 people, instead of the 100000 it has now.
 Meanwhile, Arizona has a greater wealth and produces more per capita than any state or territory in the union. It offers splendid opportunities to young men of integrity and ability. It is a growing country, has great future, furnishes a climate that stimulates men to do things, and has social atmos- phere where a man is honored for his true worth alone, and where every man gets q square deal.
 1.-The president used to be very pop ular in the southwest, but since his stand for joint statehood, which the people of Arizona repudiated almost to a man, his popularity has waned. From what I can learn, don't think he is so popular on the Pacific coast, either. am with the members from that sec tion in their attitude toward the Jap anese."

TWO ELECTION CONTESTS
 FAIL TO DUST WINNERS

In sustaining the demurrer of the defendant in the election contest of R P. Talbot versus R. E. Morrison, in. volving the office of district attorney in Yavapai county, Judge R. E. Sloan of the district court thereby upheld the right of Morrison to the office. ...
 In the opinion of the court Talbot had no ground of action, which he based upon the failure of the board of super visors to designate the polling place for North Prescott.
 It was contended by Talbot that re- turns from that precinct should be thrown out. The court held that the election board was not guilty of maj conduct in receiving the votes and ir counting them.
 The decision also disposes of the ease of Roland Mosher against J. c. Brad bury, which was of identical character for the office of county recorder.
 The contest of George Hardiker fol the justice of the peace office in Douglas was decided in favor of Ben Rice, Dem ocrat, the court not finding that any fraud had been committed.

LEMON COUPLE
 AGAIN JAILED
Couple Who Will Be Tried Here in the United States Court as Accomplices to Phil Rapier Later Give Bond at Tombstone and Are Released.

The following dispatch from Tomb- stone tells of the rearresting of MT. and Mrs. Lemon, who are on bond to appear for trial in the United States court in Globe next month:
 James Lemon and wife, Hattie Lem on, are again inmates of the county jail as a result of several indictments found against them by the last United States grand jury, charging them with uttering and passing forged checks of the United States government. It will be remembered that Lemon and his wife were arrested in Bisbee at the time E. P. Rapier was arrested on the charge of stealing the book of government cheeks from one of the officials at the Roosevelt dam. Rapier was convicted in the district court of having passed one of the forged checks in Tombstone on A. Wentworth and J. M. Speek. After being indicted he entered a plea of guilty and was sentenced to serve a term of seven years in Yuma. After he had been arrested in this county the grand jury in session in Graham county returned thirteen indictments against Rapier and two each against Lemon and his wife They were arrest. ed and released on bond to appear before the United States court in Ora ham county in February. The indict. ments returned against them here charges them with forging and uttering the forged checks in Pearce, on the Pearce Mercantile company. The bond in each of these cases has been fixed in the sum of $2,000 for each of them. The cases will come up for trial at the next term of the United States court.
 Lemon and his wife were arrested at Pearce on Saturday by Deputy United States Marshal Clark and brought here pending the furnishing of the necessary bond.
 A later dispatch says later the same afternoon bond was given by the two defendants in the sum of $2,000, and they were ordered discharged from GUS tody. The bond was arranged through a securities company.
