Probably never before in the
course of his administration has the
president been confronted with a
measure which so strongly calls for
veto as pension bill which has
been slipped through both houses of
congress and which, if approved,
will cost the nation upwards of SIS
100000 a year. This measul =
grants a pension to every widow OF
every soldier who served ninety days
or more in the civil war. Practical
ly all the deserving widows have al
ready been provided for under ex-
listing law, but this measure will
add to the rolls great number Of
undeserying cases which congress
has not hitherto had the courage to
pension. The bill had the backing
of Speaker Cannon in the house and
of Senators Scott, McCumber and
others in the senate.

According to statistics just pub.
lished there were on January /
1907, about $4,000 passenger auto.
mobiles and Lip freight automo.
biles in Prussia. During the first
half of 1907 the number of persons
injured by passenger automobiles
was 1903. and in 1910 cases of ac-
cident by these vehicles injury anl
loss to property occurred. 1t is 10
be noted that not quite l per cent
of the accidents was caused by The
freight automobiles. The Prussian
minister of public works and COLI
munications recently stated in the
lower house that the government
had under consideration the intro
duction of a uniform system of ex-
animation of chauffeurs. He also
favored an increased liability of The
Automobiles, and that the police au-
thorities be empowered to withdraw
the license from incompetent per-
sons who run power vehicles.

MYSTERY OF CLOTHES LINE.
Compelled to Stay Abed Until New
Jeans Were Procured.

| Ansonia, March 1S-"The mystery
of the clothesline, or who swiped the
pants" is the title of a little story
Harry Gross, the Water street saloon
keeper, is telling about himself. Last
week, after closing his cafe, his wife
started in to prepare his wardrobe for
Sunday, two suits of clothes being
given a thorough renovation. When
Mrs Gross had completed her labors,
she hung two pairs of trousers on a
clothesline strung from the third
story of the Mcmahon & Wren build
ing on Water street to pole set in
the back yard, where they were tc
dry over night.
In the morning when Mr. Gross
was ready to get dressed, he asked
his wife to bring him one of the pairs
Of trousers. Much to her surprise
the line was empty and nowhere
could either OF the pairs of trousers
be located. She hurriedly impaired
the news TO Mr. Gross, who found
himself in considerable of a quandary
He had no others he could wear. and
il was then past time for the opening
of his cafe.

their stores until about S O'Clock.

early morning patrons without a pair

minutes a hurried call was sent to

measure in hand and the eager an
ticipation of a sale In his mind was
quickly on the scene. Color or quail

simply wanted a pair OF jeans az
quickly as possible.

Mr. Gross hurriedly applied to his

 J. B. Cleveland, general manager of the Arizona Central Copper company, who was here yesterday, in conversa. tion with a Journal Miner representa-. tive, said that hebelieved that the Shy. lock shaft, now down to depth of 570 feet was now entering the sulphide zone, judging from the increase of water in the shaft and the noticeable change in the ores from an oxide to 2 sulphide. Work on the shaft is being rushed, the intention being to reach the 700foot level as soon as possible where a station will be cut and the great vein opened with series of erosscuts and drifts. The ore in the bottom of the shaft carries sulphides of high grade in gold, silver and cop. per and the vein filling carries a high pcree' age of lime, the latter a favor able indication for the existence of large ore bodies below in this district.
 At the 5oO.foot level a 34.foot cross. cut was run through the ledge, showing orc all the way with good ore still in the face, proving that the ore body is larger than anticipated by the man. sgement at this depth.
 The Shyloek group of twenty.two claims, is located on the westerly slope of the Black Hills range, seven miles east of Dewey. the nearest railroad sta. ton on the Bndshaw Mountain rail. road. A prominent minins engineer, who examined the company's holdings, somc time ago, is authority for the statement that the locations cover at least four large mines, judging from the surface indications and the out. crop of the lcdgcs, all of wnieh arc in what is termed the Yavapai schist bolt.
