Arizona Attracting
 Foreign Capital

The claims of Arizona mines are gradually reaching across the water and are attracting wide attention The very fact that the largest body Of copper ore in the world has been un- covered near Kelvin has been the cause of giving that section wide pub licity and now it seem. ths. the capi. talists of the old world are going 10 take hold of the district and uncover all the ore obtainable.
 Apropos, the announcement has been made public in Los Angeles that the Rothschild syndicate of London hss become interested in properties in Arizona.
 The report of their investment has been sent from the English metropo- lis by Henry Beard to Los Angeles men who are interested in Arizona mines.
 Beard states in A letter that he has sold the Oklahoma group of claims in Pinal county to the Rothschilds. The claims sdjoin the property of the Aits Central Copper company. It is stated on reliable authority that the Roths childs intend to develop and operate one of the largest copper mines ir Arizona.
 Roy Trexel, who has just returned to Los Angeles from Chicago, says hs received a confrmatory report regard the sale oi the Oklahoma mine, anC he says that there will be a mining boom in Pinal county such as va never known in Arizona.

New Method of
 Purchasing Ores

It is understood that the Copper Queen smelter has adopted a new schedule as to the payment of ores, owing to the fiuc.ustion in price of copper.
 Owners of ore shipped to the smelter will be paid 75 per cent oi the days market value according to the assay. The balance, or p per cent, will not be paid for fourteen weeks, and then according to the price of copper prevailing at the time.
 This is fair proposition for both sides, as the present price of copper is ? )t liable to go much lower, and by the time the 25 per cent payments become due the price of copper will in all probability have advanced.

Naco May Be
 the Terminal

Just why the Southern Pacific rail- road company should be buying prop erty in Naco, the junction point of the Cananea railroad with the E. P. and s.w., is just now cause for much wonderment in that place.
 Last week the Southern Pacific pur- chased the home property of Joseph Curry in Naco and it is known that the railroad company offered to buy at least one other residence property in that place.
 Two weeks ago this companysecured q tract of l60 acres of land adjoining the Nsco townsite.
 Sometime ago it was reported that the Southern Pacific, which owns the Cansnea, Yaqui River and Pacific. op erating between Nsco and Cananes, was planning for building large shops at Naco aod the fact that many sub stantial improvements have been made in connection with this road at Nsco has caused . feeling among the residents of that town that it was to become an important point in the .vste,n of the Southern Pacific lines in Sonora.

To Experiment
 With Fenugreek
A Washington dispatch says:

A Washington dispatch says:
 Secretary Wilson will soon begin experimenting in the arid lands of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona on the famous food called fenugreek, which scientists the world over are hailIng as possibly an agency oi na- ture which will combat the ravages ofconsumption.
 The virtue ascribed to fenugreek i. it's ability to build up the very tis- sues that the germs of consumption tear down. Experiments. with won- derfully satisfactory results, in the growth of this plant have been made in California, Nebraska, Arizona and New Mexico, and the announcement will soon be made of its introduction into the arid west section of Texas under irrigation by the department of agriculture.
 "The ienugreek plant itself is not O0Ilke COttl tnOu ClofcA ahA5 ihNSNeT io easily mistaken fer that plant unless the two are closely compared. The seed of the plant is the part used Tn the consumption cure, there being several ways in which it can be pre- pared. Perhaps the essiest way is to put a tablespoonful in g tumbler of water and let it stand over night drinking the water in the morning Another method is to mix coffee spoonful of the seed in strained honey to kill it's bitter taste, and then eat the mixture. The women Of Tunis in their quest for fat, eat the seed in the form of A confection and mixed with olive oil."

A merciful man is merciful to his
beasts. We like to see our farmers
when they drive into town on cold,
stormy day put their team in a barn
or cover them with blankets. In the
heat of summer they can always find
shade in which to leave the noble
animals that brou sht them safely to
town. There are many, however,
who on cold days will rush for a stove
themselves and leave their horses in
the storm while in the heat of summer
they seek the shade and leave their
horses in the sun. There is some
thing wrong about the man who thus
abuses his team. He may be nice
man, may belong to the church, may
not swear, smoke nor have any bad
habits, but we would not want to be
his horse. No, sir.

Fourteen young freshmen joined
forces to haze their companion. He
smiled disdainfulIy and rising, braced
himself against the wall and doubled
up bis huge fists, projecting the
knuckle of his middle finger, which
is half as large as an ordinary mans
wrist, and, swaying right and left,
soon had the room to himself. After
that he was not troubled with hazing
friends.
Tilton is indebted to no gymnasium
save the fields and pastures of his
farm home. His only tonic consists
of fresh air and food. He is child of
nature, and can imitat perfectly the
calls of the wild and domestic ami
mails. He is a musician and often
plays the violin for the neighborhood
dances. He has powerful voice and
is the leading singer of Sutton.
For the past year Tilton has tried
his hand at song writing, and has
achieved some success in this work. He
is called Professor Tilton," in Sutton,
and he answers to this title proudly.
Last spring Tilton visited Boston.
While walking on Washington street,
which seemed to him "pretty crowd
ed" he was annoyed by man who
persisted in getting in the way of his
progress. Finally Tilton picked up
this individual by the collar at the
back of the neck and deposited him in
the street. The man looked around
to see who had lifted him so uncere =
moniously and saw the Vermonter
giant laughing ct his CONSERVATION.
