LeprOSy Completely Cured.

To all appearances completely cured of the dreaded leprosy which has made him a virtual prisoner in his own castle, Juan M. Bringas one of the millionaire merchants of Guaymas, passed through Benson last week over the Southern Pacific en route from Europe to lis home in Guaymas.
 That belief is general in Mexico that he has been completely cured is , indicated by the fact that he travelled in the private car of Vice-President Ramon Corral of the Republic ot Mexico. Accompanying him were members of his family and four daughters of Vice-President Corral who will pay a visit to the Briugas family at his palatial residence in Guaymas, said to be the most magnifi- cent in all Sonora.
 More than two years ago Bringas, suffering severely from leprosy, the most dreaded of diseases that man is heir to, passed through the territory en route to vera Cruz to take Stedm- CT for Europe. It was necessary to specially provision the car as no one was allowed to leave it in this coun- try. Guards accompanied the train which was run special from Nogales to Fl Paso by way of Benson.
 All furnishings of the sleeping car were destroyed when Vera Cruz was reached owing to the great danger of contamination. For two years Bringas has taken special treatment and now he is returning home com- pletely cured, the scientists say if this is true new era has been made in medical science as heretofore leprosy was looked upon as loath- some disease, incurable, which slowly sapped its victims life.

Copper company is erecting also al
 Silver Bell. This concentrator will
 handle low grade ores from the Sil
 yer Bell mines before they are sent
 to the shelter at Sasco. The smelter
 at Sasco is rapidly nearing comple
 tion and people who have just come from there state that there are in. dications that the big plant will be completed by January l, 1908, which was the time set originally by Supt. Goodloe-Citizen.
 The Bisbee Improvement of Bisbee has completed the installation of a new turbine engine. The big engine is capable of developing 7O0-h. D. and is of the very latest type of turbine [ It will develop 800 kilowatts, which will be sufficient to take care of the increasing demands for power for some time to come. A 4O0-h.p boiler, to supply steam to the engines, ,has also been installed. With the completion of the work of putting in these two pieces of machinery, the B. l. Co. becomrs one of the best equipped in the southwest. The work of installa- tion has beeh under the direction of Jas. H. H. Larson, of Milwaukee, who will be in the city about two months longe- looking after york; Review.
 After ten days suspension ot operations at the Mallory or Globe Boston shaft of the Globe Consoli- dated company, pending the granting of an extension for the final pay ments on the property acquired by the company, work has been resumed with the same force of men as em- ployed before the shutdown. The lateral work on the 860 level was re- sumed and will be vigorously pushed by Manager Mccarthy. After strenuous work for a little over a year, the Gem. shaft of the Globe Consolidated was completed when the 1200 level was reached. This is by far the quickest piece of work for it's size ever accomplished in the Globe district and is a credit to the company. The work of cutting the station will begin at once thirty feet above the bottom of the. shaft and from this point the heavy line of de- yelopment work mapped out by the company will be attacked. As soon as there is room for them to work more men will be put on at both the Gem and Globe-Boston shafts.

The inability of the American Smelling and Refining company to handle all the ore offered, has forced the company to take drastic action to shut off some of the heavy ship ments from Nevada and Canada. Twelve thousand tons of bullion, worth over S4, 100000, are now on the way to Denver, Salt Lake and Omaha from Denver. The company an- nounces its action is not to apply to mines in Colorado, as it is able to take care of that business in the usual channels. In its efforts to force the operators to curtail shipments it has increased the cost of treating Nevada ores ten per cent. which makes the second increase within a few days, and has deferred payment for the same from forty-five to sixty days. The action was necessary on account of the inability to turn the bullion into money fast enough. Said an officer of the company: "It takes forty-five to sixty days to real ize on bullion and it will simply defer payments until this is done. Former ly we made payments as soon as we got returns from the assayer-Den- yer Times.

Arizona Copper Company.

The London Statist says of the Arizona Copper company, operating in the Clifton-Morenci camps: Since 1900, over eS4O,OOO has been spent up- on the Arizona plant and property, and to meet this heavy outlay the share capital has been increased by s31 ,444, the balance being provided for out ot revenue. But it was not only in heavy capital expenditure that much of the profit made has been invested. With the outlook that when its new plant was in full operation the quantity of ore re- quirrd for the concentrators would be largely increased, the company, in a period of growing prosperity, also greatly extended its mine develop ment work. Further large sums thus spent, although for the benefit ot the future, were charged year by year to revenue, and pro tanto swell ed each years cost of production. Charges to revenue thus account for the bulk of the increase in cost of production shown in the following table:

 By developing its property out of revenue in prosperous times many years ahead of possible requirements, the company has practically been creating huge reserve fund. How ever, development and capital ex- penditure outlays are no longer re- quired on large scale.
 If, through series of misfortunes, and the time necessary to extend plant and developments, the Arizona company was not able to derive the full benefit of a period of high-priced copper, it is ready to make the best of the position now. The output for October (which begins the new finan- cial year., "1438 tons." was, with one exception, the Lest on record, and compares with 1174 tons for October, 1906. By curtaillng expenditure con- currently with increasing production, it is reasonable to look for costs to be materially reduced, and a reduction to the level of 19O3-4 would greatly neutralize lower price of the metal produced.

Decision in d Big Case.

An important development in the suit of the Old Dominion Go. vs. A. s. Bigelow and Leonard Lewisohn was decision of Judge Sheldon in Massachusetts, that 10000 shares of Old Dominion stock claimed to have been illegally taken by the promoters must be considered as treasury stock.
 This was the main contention of the plaintiffs. Messrs. Bigelow and Lewisohn took 5O,OOO shares of stock but of the 50,000 shares taken, 30, ,OOO shares was for property turned over to the new company by MT. Lewisohn. The plaintiffs claimed, however, that this property was valueless, that it did not cost MT. Lewisohn anything, having been transferred to him by the Keysers when they sold the Baltimore to Old Dominion company. This property will be turned back in case of a decision in favor of the plaintiffs.
 The only appeal that can be taken from Judge Sheldon's decision is to the full bench of the supreme court of Massachusetts. It cannot be taken to the United States supreme court A decision by the Massachusetts supreme court, however, might have considerable bearing upon the New York case, which has been carried to the United States supreme court, the case in New York having been en- tered in the federal courts while the Massachusetts action is in the state courts.

They are the Palatine of London, Com mercial Union of London and Will Hamburg of New York. The reason is that the three companies would not submit to suits against them caused by losses in the great fire to the court of the state, but insisted on taking them to the United States court.

HOW ADVERTISING PAYS.

The author of the Autobiography
of a Business Man." in the February
Everybody's, says:
For number of years adver-
tised only in my windows and in some
of the street cars, because did not
feel that could afford to advertise
in the daily papers. Two years ago
enette coat sale, and I succeeded in
selling for a couple of weeks about
so coats a day. l thought 1 would
try column ad in one OF the eve
ming papers.
"The next day this column ad ap-
peared in one of the evening papers,
and, by the bye, 1t was not the one
that had the largest circulation in
Chicago; selected the paper that this
ad appeared in because they gave me
a log rate, but they agreed to give
my ad a good position in the paper.
The result was that the next day the
sales, which had been about so coats
a day, jumped to 142, and in so days
l sold over $500 raincoats.
For the year following that sale
1 continued to advertise in this one
paper. Last fall l felt that 1 could
afford to invest, say, about $4,000 in
advertising in some of the other pa
pers. I used three morning papers
and three evening papers, the best in
Chicago.
"The results have been something
phenomenal. I did not have to invest
$4,000. The profits came back from
the newspaper advertising before their
bills came in, and I do not figure to-
day that l have dollar invested In
advertising. In my opinion the only
way to advertise is to give them plain
common-sense talk. Tell them the
truth. Do not get customer to come
to your store and find that you have
faxed him. for that is poor advertis'
ing, besides being dishonesty"

TRAGEDY OF THE REDNiEN.

The real tragedy of the fatal acci-
dent at the Umatilla agency Sunday
morning was not in the death Of five
drunken Indians in burning jail
building
1t was in the wondering eyes of
the living Indians who surveyed the
grewsome scene.
The white man brought whiskey to
the Indian, made him a beast, taught
him to wallow in the dirt drunken
animal, and then the same white man
built jails in which to punish the In
dian for doing what the white man
taught him to do.
Al! these burning facts were seen in
the wondering eyes of the old men
and women who stood silently about
the charred remains of five of their
tribesmen at the agency yesterday.
There was grim protest, accusation,
threatening, in the pent-up passion Of
the friends and relatives of the dead
Indians.
Why did the white man poison the
Indian life with his whiskey? Then
why did the same white man punish
the Indian after poisoning him? Why
does the government permit white
men to sell whiskey to weak Indians
and then punish the Indian for buy
ing it2 Why is not the guilty white
man, who made the Indian drunk,
punished?
These questions We're asked over
and over in the wondering minds OF
the tribesmen yesterday, as they stood
beside the ruins of a miserable Jail,
built by the government in which to
punish Indians for the white mans
sin.
The real tragedy of the situation
was in the cropping minds of the living
Indians as they sought to understand
in all; as they sought to conceive of
the munificent plan of government
which they must obey as children, yet
which permits their moral destruction
day by day, through the crime of
white men.

NEEDLESS TEARS.

The Portland Sunday Oregonian
sheds needless tears over the alleged
suffering and death of livestock on
the ranges, through the failure of
owners to provide sufficient feed.
The Oregonian is certainly not ac.
quainted in the range districts. For
merly it was the custom to permit
horses to run on the ranges during
the long winter. but now they are too
valuable. A good horse is worth 800
in gold coin any day, on the Pacific
coast and no horseman thinks of per.
mitting them to paw snow for three
months in the struggle against starv-
alton. Ample feed is provided and
the best of care is taken of the horse
herds. in nearly every case.
Cattle and sheep are likewise we'll
provided for. Unless a sudden storm
comes early and catches these ami
mails away from the feeding grounds
there is very little loss from starva.
ton any more. They are too valuable
The subject for real tears is the
overworked dray horse of Portland
and other large cities. There is rea
suffering.

OUR YESTERDAY.

All, why turn back life's blotted page
To dwell thereon in vain regret?
Better to turn the new page Ger
And strive to pay the old ones debt
By Iargesse of the living thought
That moves on glowing word and
deed,
Through pain and wrong and painless
night,
Straight to the heart of others
need:
Making of self Loves servant true,
Who waits not for the clarion call,
But holds in an o'erflowing cup
Some drops of tenderness for all.
If lovingly, through each new day,
Swerveless we walk lire's nobler
ways,
Then, one by one, our God shall wipe
The stains from all our Yesterdays

SUNSHINE OF YOU.

I have plodded the ways of this grimy
old world,
Mid the hives and the marts of the
millions hurled,
1 have tasted its sweets, have supped
of its gall,
And I've fingered and dreamed where
the rose petals fall;
I have bent to its hopes-and many
have failed
At the fates that befell me I've ang-
cred and rallied;
But what do they matter, lost hopes
and the rue,
So long as the heart knows the sun
shine of you?

THE NIGHT EXPRESS.

There's light at last in the sable mist
And it hangs like rising star
on the border line 'twixt earth and
sky
Where the rails run straight and far,
And deeply sounds from hill to- Hill
In mighty monotone;
A distant voice-a hoarse, wild note
With savage warning blown.
'Tis the night express, and well IFS
named,
For behold! from out of the night
It comes and darkly adown the rails
1t looms to the startled sight
Larger, nearer, nearer yet
Till at last there's a clang and a roar
A wave of heat, a gleam of red,
From a closing furnace door:
Then the crash and shrek of the rush
ing train
And our hearts beat fast and high
When sudden and swift through thu
shadowy mist
The night express goes by!

BE TRUE.

Thou must be true thyself,
If thou the truth would teach;
Thy soul must overflow If thou
Another's soul wouldst reach:
It needs the overflow of heart
To give the lips full speech.
Think truly. and thy thoughts
Shall the worlds famine feed;
Speak truly, and such word of thine
Shall be q fruitful seed;
Live truly and thy life shall be
A great and noble creed.
-Horatius Bonar.
