The Story of a Mule

a few years ago Il story OF a
Butte underground mule went the
rounds of the press. 1t was an in
teresting story and an amusing
one. The writer said that be had
recently visited Butte and had
witnessed sight that surprised
him. Itappears that mule that
had lived in the mi ne for ten years
died suddenly. The carcass was
hoisted to the surface and dragged
to Il point short distance from
the shaft, where orders were given
to haul it to the city crematory
When tho mule was alive he
weighed thousand pounds, but
when he died he became suddenly
heavier, perhaps about two thous-
and pounds. 1t was great effort
to get the carcass onto the cage
and drag 1t away from the shaft
house.
The animal was taken to the
crematorv and inclnerated. The
story went that instead of a pile
of ashes remaining there showed
up about l,5O0 pounds of refined
copper. The story was gaudily
embelished by some newspapers
and sensatIonally illustrated. Many
persons believed the story to be
true and letters from all parts of
the country asking about that mule
we received in Butte. One en-
thusiastic young man in Butte re-
piled to a letter he received from
Nashville, Tenn, informing his
queStioner that since the mute had
been smelted and turned out so
valuable, one company, operating
several rich mines IN Butte, had
ordered 10000 mules to be placed
in its mines for the purpose of alb
sorbing copper; that instead of op-
Grating ex ensive reduction works,
the company proposed to treat its
copper ores by mule process; that
it was cheaper method and in
volved less risk, as the mule pro-
cess did away with blasting and
the use of dynamite generally, as
the mules ate their way into the
rock and burrowed large caverns
and stood in them until they alb
sorbed ton Of refined copper,
more or less. Besides, the mule
process solved the smoke nuisance.
The writer explained that one ton
of baled hay produced on an aver
age tbree-ton copper mule. The
story finally died natural death,
and the mule still lives in luxury
under ground,

Too Much for the Cook

The waiter WIS gone several

CARNEGIE'S WEALTH

Andrew Carnegie's income is ap.
proximately $4,000 a day. 1t
comes to him as interest on bonds
held in the United States Steel
corporation and personally he is
not held responsible for any part
of the conduct of the business. He
does not even need to clip the cou.
pons that represent the interest.
Now look at that sum. The
amount that is given him day is
more by $4,000 than the annual
salary of the president of the Uni
ted States and the amount of wealth
turned over to him in a year is a
multiple of what even the Gar of
Russia gets in year. Monarcbies
would be of no use to the monarchs
if they had not the power to take
the wealth from the producers.
What is of especial interest to us
as Americans is what is the differ
ence IN effect on US whether our
wealth is confscated by monarch
or "captain of industry" or in
dustrial monarch? The amount is
even greater and the power it gives
goes with it. Mr.. Carnegie's daily
wage is equal to that of fifty thou
sand ordinary laborers and If his
services to society were worth that
much there might be some justif-
cation, but according 10 bis own
confession he can not understand
why he is permitted to have such
an income, as he is doing nothing
to earn 1T and has difficulty in de-
Gliding to what use to put it.

CANONIZING DEBS

The Socialists rally at Carnegie
Hall should serve to correct mis-
taken notions as to the mission CT
Socialism. 1t is not a political or
economic movement, but relig
ious propaganda with modern
Moses at its head in the person OF
Eugene V. Debs.
There were references, it is true,
to "misguided millionaires" and
filings at the courts. But the gen.
eral tenor of the proceedings was
religious, with the canonization of
Debs as the main feature. This
"sun crowned man" was declared
to "speak message to his gen
Grafton as Moses and Christ did to
theirs" He was proclaimed as his
"living link between God and
man."
A party which enters the cam
paign with the "only living spirit
ual link" under its tent is prepar-
cd to turn the older parties into
mere sideshows. Whom have the
Republicans or Democrats among
their leaders to rank with Debs as
a man of the Luther, CALVIN and
Savonarola type of prophe'! A
DEVILS advocate at the canonization
might have recalled certain facts
of public record about the new
SAINT.
Mrs. Eddy must look to her
laurels. There's another New.

Every place gets what it wants
but Stafford. Why? Because the
people of Stafford are too slow for
their own interests. A general
waking-up is now in order, 1t
would be the proper thing now for
all the merchants and farmers of
the Gila Valley to combine and
organize q 1--we board of trade.

CAMPAIGN FUNDS

Why should there be any
secrecy about campaign funds!
asks the Los Angeles Herald.
After all, they are not benefactors,
but contributions to the expenses
of Il party by success of which the
contributor thinks his fellow citi-
zens will be benefited. All know
that Republicans, who furnish the
principle examples of magnificence
In giving during campaign time,
are actuated by the purest motives
of Americanism. They believe it
will be for the greatest good of the
greatest number to give a new
lease of power to the party which
has reduced the United States to
the fifth place among the educated
nations. The cause of Republican
neglect of the educational industry
is that Republicans are too obtuse
to see it is an industry and one of
vital Importance. We think Scot
land was probably the first country
which had popular educational
system, and it saved her from
being gobbled up by England
when every other country round
about had been assimilatcd with
out benevolenee. Education made
the Scots more than match tor
the English soldiery, most of them
could neither read nor write and
were proud Of this demerit. Since
Republicans are about 10 expend
large sums of money in trying to
secure q continuation of the reign
of ignorance, and since they will
spend money freely in order to
maintain conditions which produce
illiteraey and tend 20 give them
cheap, ignorant labor, we should
all have the privilege of reading
the names of the contributors to
the grand old cause. We would
like TO know who subscribes bis
thousands and who his tens of
