Cunningham was recommended TO him.
She Went to his home at Cornish. y. H.,

years. until after the death of the artist.
Then the home was broken mp. and as her
retiring disposition had prevented the
formation of ties and close friendships

her to go but to employment office

she has been domestic in the Baptist

Commenting upon the great mass
or appealing letters received Mr..
Rockefeller says that four-fifths OF
Jnem are requests for money for per-
sonal use, with no other title to con-
sideration than that the Writer would
be gratifled TO have It."
Mr.. Rockefeller pays a warm trib-
ute TO the memory or the late DIR.
William r. Harper, president of the
University of Chicago, and makes
without qualification the statement
which will be surprising to many per
sons, that during the entire period
of his presidency OF the University
of Chicago, he never once either
wrote me a letter or asked me per-
sonally for a dollar OF money for the
university" He goes on to explain
that in this, as in all other cases, the
gifts to the university were the re-
suit of the presentation of its needs
made in writing BY the officers OF
the university. whose special duty it
is to prepare its budgets and superin.
tend its finances. Il Is not personal
interviews and impassioned appeals,
but sound and justifying worth that
should attract and secure the funds
OF philanthropy. The people in great
numbers who are constantly impor.

behalf of favorite couses err in sup
posing that the interview, were it pos
sible, is the best way, or even a good
way, of securing what they want"
In the course of his article Mr.
Rockefeller says of himself:
Criticism that is deliberate, sober
and fair is always valuable and 1t
should be welcomed by all who desire
progress. l have had at least my full
share of adverse criucism, but I can
truly say that it has not embittered
me. nor left me with any harsh feel
ing against a living soul. Nor do /
wish to be critical of those whose
conscientious judgment, frankly ex.
pressed differs from my own. No mat
ter how noisy the ressimists may be,
we know that the world is getting
better steadily and rapidly, and that
1t is good thing 10 remember in our
moments of depression or humilia-
tions."

the text of an article by John ID.

eral subject of Mr.. Rockefeller's arti.

Mr.. Rockefeller expresses the be-

to me, stamped with his approval this

He goes on to describe in some

NOTES
FROM COPPER WORLO D

The copper production Of the Amer
lean continent is now at the highest
rate on record, the November output
being computed at 104, ,70O,575 pounds,
which is more than $4,000. 900 pounds
greater than for the corresponding
month last year The four lead ng
districts in November were: Montana,
2S,363,300 pounds; Arizona. 26, ,966, 900
pounds: Michigan, II, 543.2OO pounds
and Utah, 100000 pounds.
The recent weakness in the stock of
the American Smelling & Refining
company is said to have been due to
the announcement that AmaIgamated
Copper and United States Steel inter-
ests will organize a Competing COM
pany to engage in mining and smelt-
ing on large scale.
From Calumet, Mich, comes the in
formation that the Superior & Pitts
burg company is opening the biggest
ore body yet encountered in the Bis
bee camp, at the HOatson shaft on the
1900 level This ore body is 1913 feet
wide and $50 feet long.
The Greene-Cananea company has
let the contract for the installation of
the 5000 compressor which is to cost
$4,000. This will be the largest COM
pressor in the southwest and will be
located at the central air plant to be
erected by the company to supply air
to the mines and the reduction plant.
There is a natural reluctance on the
part of the consumers of copper to buy
during December, when the purchase
must appear as copper on hand at
the close of the year. There is no let
up in the specifications being made
for enterprises which will need copper
in large quantities and the large pro-
ducers being fully acquainted with
these contemplated demands for the
metal, are not disposed to shade prices
inasmuch as many of them are SOLO
up for a month ahead.
Never before in the history of Lake
Superior mining has the science VI
separating copper from it's rocky en-
Vironment reached the perfection Of
today. The Quincy Mining company
Is recovering only 16 pounds of cop
per per ton of rock. The Osceola is
making its earnings from rock which
does not average a recovery of over
II pounds of copper The problems
Of meeting a declining copper yield
with compensating economy in the
cost of production are pressing the
mine managements at every turn, and
figures prove that these problems to
date have been successfully met. A
well posted engineer has said: Il be
lieye the time will come before very
long when an amygdaloid mine at
Lake Superior producing II pounds of
copper per ton of rock can make both
ends meet or a 14-cent metal market.
1t is not so many years ago that
mine producing IS pounds of copper
was considered worthless; today it is
considered a bonanza"

AN APPROPRIATE TESTIMONIAL
(El Paso News.)

The token of esteem that the state
of chihuahua is about to bestow on
the great president of Mexico, Benito
Juarez, is an appropriate testimonial
due the great statesman and patriot.
Gov. Creel deserves a great deal OF
credit for his indeCatigable efforts in
organizing the movement that will
construct a monument to Juarez in
the city of his name and where ne
held the government during the dark
days of the Intervention. The monu
ment is to cost S125,0O0.

Several detectives are busily engaged
in the search for the men who. be-

ing tried to carry away the safe from
the saloon of Joe Pagliano, at 987 East
First street.
The bold attempt to make away
bodily with the large iron SAFE only
a short distance from one of the main
centers of traffic, is considered by tho
police one of the most daring attempts
at robbery committed in this city for
many months.
The lock of the back door of the sa-
loon was picked and the building en-
tered early in the morning, Then tho
safe was dragged near the back door.
preparatory to moving it into a wagon
which was In readiness in the back
yard. The men must have known the
premises we'll, judging from the thor
oughness of their preparation.
They must have been scared away
by traffic along First street starting
for they abandoned the project, leav-
ing the safe near a window from which
they evidently intended to slide il to
the wagon, a board having been laid
for that purpose.
When Patroman Jack Lennon made
his rounds he found the wagon, con-
tanning q dummy safe. This the rob-
bers clearly intended to substitute for
the real one, carting off the latter and
blowing it open in some secluded spot
outside the city. The dummy safe
consisted of an orange box covered
with tinsel.
The wagon belongs to the Santa Re

FEMALE GUN TOTER'
CAUSES WILD ALARM
Profound Agitation in Police Circles
Finally AlIayed by Surrender of
Well Dressed and Attractive
Woman

CONSERVATION reigned at the police
station yesterday when it was learned
that a woman was parading the streets
with big gun attached to her person,
looking for some one. Patrolman H.
e. Wayman had the terrible task of
arresting the supposed female "gun
toter." 1t was the first time In the
annals of the police station that a
woman has been arrested for carrying
concealed weapons. Everyone expected
to see q wild desperate type of west
ern COW woman put In her appear
ance at police headquarters and hold
up the entire force.
They were greatly surprised when
Mrs. j. e. Newman of 857 South Hill
street, we'll dressed, pretty and at
tractive woman, refined and feminine
in her bearing, walked into police
court. Mrs. Newman pleaded guilty to
the charge of carrying concealed
weapons and even admitted that the
revolver was a big one. She will be
sentenced Wednesday, and meantime
is out on bond.
