Fighting Democrats

A Washington correspondent speaking of the late fisticuff in the national house of representatives, quotes a democratic mem Der as saying:
 Every time there is a personal row in the senate or house it's sure to be democrats. Why, it is just as certain as when a man wakes up in the. middle of the night and hears fearful rowing and squal- ing and caterwauling out in the back yards that it's cats. When man punches another one in the nose and the punchee grabs for the other fellows eye, I'd knew, just by hearing the details. even if l were at the north pole, that a couple of democrats were loose again. There seems to be some thing in the principles of our party that gives man the desire to bung noses and black eyes and soak somebody else with his bunch ed knuckles. 'Tis sad but true"

THE RECLAMATION SERVICE

A summation of the work of the reclamation service for 1907 shows that it has dug 1915 miles of ca nals, or nenrly tie distance from Washington to Idaho. Some of these canals carry whole rivers, like the Truckee river in Nevada and the North Platte in Wyoming. The tunnels exca vated are fifty-six in Der, and have an aggregate length of 1O3 miles. The service has erected PA large structures, including the great dams in Ne vada and the Minidoka dam in Idaho, eighty feet high and $50 feet long. It has completed 67O l headworks, fumes, etc. It has built ell miles of wagon road in noun tainous country and into hereto fore inaccessible regions. It has erected and in operation S31 miles of telephones. Its own cement mills has manufactured S0.00O barrels of cement, and the amount pur- chased is 4O5, ,OOO barrels. It's own sawmills, have cut 3,O36,OOO feet, board measure, of lumber, and 23,6S5,000 feet have been pur- chased. The surveying parties oi the service have completed topo- grap phic surveys covering 1O.97O square miles. an area greater than the combined areas of Massachu- setts and Rhode Island The tran sit lines had length of 1900 lin- ear miles, while the level lines rur, amount to 24,21S miles. or nearly sufficient to go around the earth.
 The diamond drillings for dam sites and canals amount to 66,745 feet, or more than twelve miles Today the service owns and has at work 1900 horses and mules. It operates nine locomotives. ell carr and 23 miles of railroad, S4 gaso- line engines and 70 steam engines. It has constructed and is operating i've electric plants There hav' been excavated 33,419,222 cubic yorJ, of oor,b onJ TAX OpO o,h, wards of rock. The equipment now operated by the service on force ac count work represents an invest ment of $1 100000.
 This work has been carried on with the following force: Classified and registered service, including Washington office, 1126; laborers employed directly by the govern ment. HAS; laborers employed by contractors, 1O,7S9, or a total of all forces of 16,363. The expenditures now total nearly $1,OOO,OOO per month. As result of the opera tions of the reclamation service eight new towns have been estab lished, 100 miles of branch rail- roads have been constructed and 14.OOO people have taken up their residence in the desert.

SATURDAY. JANUARY Il, 1908.

The strike in Bisbee has been de clared off. Such was the decision arrived at last week at a specis ] meeting of the branch of the Vest ern Federation of Miners at that place. It was by the closest vote possible that the motion was car ried, the final count showing there were 24 in favor of calling off the strike and 23 against it.
 The Kingman Miner says: Un der the laws of Arizona it is un lawful to sell, give or barter rifles. carbines, pistols, revolvers or any ammunition larger than No. ( shot to any Indian. The crime is punishable by a fine of not less than fifty dollars nor more thar $500; and not less than one montl nor more than six months in jail. or by both such fine and imprison- ment.
 The original locator of a mining claim who loses it by failure to perform the annual labor can re- cover nothing from one who relo- cates the claim, either for work done or improvements made. Even mills and mining machinery or the claim become the property of the new owner, as the original locator no longer has any right on the premises and may not enter to remove them Mining Review.
 = Since the financial stringency began the Santa Fe management, has arranged that all of the none, taken by their agents and repre- sentatives should be deposited in local banks and kept there. This plan was adopted in order to assure prompt payment of Santa Fe em- ployes. and also to assist the finan- cial situation along the line os the road. At division points the pay roll, monthly, aggregates betweer $25, ,OOO and $6O.OOO, and at Topek ka it averages $2O0,OOO.
 It is more than probab ble that the country would cheerfully see ex- presidents of the United States re- . tire from office with a comforta ble allowance which would permit them to spend their days in digni- fled ease, says the San Francisco Chronicle. If the allowance is made, however, it should be coupled with a provision limiting the presi- dents term of office A constitu- tional amendment making the presidents term of office six years and granting a pension on retire. ment on the condition mentioned would no doubt meet with popular acceptance.

MAY STARTLE THE WORLD


 Charles l.. Freer, of Detroit, art collector, student and traveller, has in his possession unopened vol tunes which will constitute a great addition to biblical lore. The vel ium pages. buried for centuries. are h+ing translated as rapidly pos sihle by Prof Sanders The story of their discovery is still unknown 10 the world and will be made pub- lie only when the results of Prof Sanders research are published, which may be two or three years hence.
 The fragile leaves were once bound in book form Opening them and joining the broken frag ments is a delicate task All of his spare time for nearly year has been spent by Prof. Sanders At Mir Freer's home putting together the bits of vellum and req ding the in scriptions, dimmed by contact with Egyptian sands for more than a thousand years. After the leaves are properly taken apart they are placed between sheets of glass and photographed. The covers of one of the books bore the portraits of the four apostles. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
 MT. Freer's manuscripts are the first bearing so directly on the his tory of Christ's life to be brought to this country. They antedate by several centuries many of the writ ings used in the present scriptures.
 Prof. Sanders revelation of the newly discovered quotations from Jesus Is the first published intima- ton of the finding of the manu- script.
 Speaking of these discoveries, Mir. Freer said:
 "The fragments of hundreds of pages of manuscript, written in Greek on vellum are locked in my vault. Their effect on the Chris tian religion cannot be estimated
 "The verse made public before the archa geological institute in Chi .cago is only very small part of the contents of the books. Prof. Sanders has just started his inves- tigations and what will be brought forth is beyond conjecture"

THE GRAND SHOWING

 from Fitz Macs Arizona Copper Book:
 Arizona leads the world in min eral production in 1907:
 Leads Montana in copper out put 37 100000 pounds.
 Leads Michigan in copper out put 39,OOO.OOO pounds.
 Leads Montana in total value, $5,OOO GOO.
 Leads Michigan in total value, $17.OOO,OOO.
 Leads Colorado in total value, $2S,ooO,ooo.
 Leads all Alaska in total value, $46,OOO.OOo.
 Leads all Nevada in value, S56,- 100000.
 Leads Cripple Creek in value, $55,O 100000.
 Leads Goldfeld in value, $57,- 100000.
 Leads Goldfeld and Cripple Creek combined, $46,OOO,OOO.
 Montana's output for 1906 was 300000,0OO pounds.
 Her rate of increase for six years had been per cent.
 The copper output of Arizona for 1906 was 263,OOO,OO0 pounds.
 The rate of increase for six years had been eighteen per cent.
 For 50 years Michigan led the world in the production of copper, but lost the lead to Montana, and now the scepter has passed to Arizona.
 The secret of Arizona's suprem- acy lies in the plain, demonstra- table fact that the total volume of her copper output is produced at good deal lower cost than any other field in the world is now able to produce an equal quantity-and Arizona's great Cooper belt" lis not yet developed to the extent of one tenth of its proba ble capacity.
 Sworn tax statements under the laws of Arizona show that the finished copper averages a gold and silver value of .01O7 cents to the pound and the total value of these by-products should therefore be $2,931, 500.
 There is also another by-product which is not taxable and the out put and value must therefore be estimated-the sulphuric acid Lro- duced at Clifton. I estimate the product at 35,OOO tons, and the value at $2O ton, total value oi s7OO,OOO.
 The total value of Arizona's cop per mining industry may therefore be stated as follows:
 Finished copper, $6OO,75S GOO.
 Gold and silver by- products, $2. s31, 800.
 Sulphuric acid. $7OO GOO.
 Grand total $64 ,3S9,90O. Al other minerals produced indeprn- iently of copper mining -gold silver, lead, zinc and quicksilver may, I think, fairly be Jumped al S3.OO0,0OO. Arizona's total mineral output for 1907 may therefore bt stated in round numbers as $67, 100000.
 All of which shows that some things are just as surprising as others when you come to examine them closely, and the first moral of the tale is that it isn't worth

A WISE CHILD.

1t was his first Sunday school and
he sat in the infants department
eagerly watching the superintendent
illustrate the lesson on the board.
The superintendent drew the path to
Heaven, one straight line, and start
ed the figure of man on it. Grad
ually the man became larger and lar
gel and finally when he arrived at
the gate of Heaven he could not get
in.
The superintendent turned to his
small audience and, in tragical and
sorrowful tone, said: "You see he is
SO puffed up with sin that he cannot
enter in."
TRY him sideways, mister, try
him sideways" came the small shrill
voice from the infants department.

you can pay your guests by seeing
that their names appear in your Local

when you go and visit them. Should
they look over the paper and find
that nearly every other guest, host

they feel somewhat sighted, and is
it any wonder? There is no assur
ance that the paper will get such
items and names unless you make il
