o'clock in the morning until dark,
there was no cessation in the funeral

mourn as personal loss stood by in
the streets with bare heads as the
grim professions passed.
One of the saddest funerals was
that of the three children of Janitor
Hirter. held jointly with the services
for three other little ones. Mutterings
against the janitor could be heard
about the village, forgetting, as they
did, that Hirter himself was walking
with bowed head and broken heart
behind the biers of three of his be-
loved. A detail of police was placed
about the Hirter home when the hour
for the funeral came. Fully 500 per

on Monday the bodies of all those who
are unidentified were laid to rest
with one funeral.
Testimony describing the mad rush
to death of the school children was

AT nAcozARI.

Work is being pushed by a large force on the new concentrator being constructed by the Moctezuma Cop per company at Nacozari. This mill will have an estimated maximum capacity of 2,000 tons of ore per day, whereas the present concentrator at Nacozari only has capacity of $50 tons per day. With the completion of the new mill the amount of con centrates which will be sent to the Queen smelter for treatment will be three times the amount now being received. These concentrates, to- gether with the increased receipts of custom ore expected at that time and the ore from the Queen mines in the Warren district it is expected will tax the utmost capacity of the Copper Queen smelter to handle. The Queen now has ready for operation, besides the converter furnace, ten blast furnaces. with total capacity of 5000 tons daily.
 Besides the new concenurator at Nacozari other very important i'm provements have been made there. A new power house has ben built and new machinery installed sufficient to supply all the power required by electricity, thus discarding the pres ent battery of gas engines.

$2O,000. That does not seem an un reasonable request to the Troy bank CT. Only $20,000 out of $90,000. But when the Troy bank withdraws $20,000 it withdraws all the reserve there is in the world against its deposits ex cept what Is in it's own safe, and the New York bank is left with credit on its books of S10.000 against which no reserve now exists When that transaction is multiplied by thousands and becomes general, it Is simply an impossibility for the New York banf to stand it; so 1t restricts specie pay ment fer a while. For this reason favor that part of Senator Aldrich's bill which increased the proprtion. oi reserves to be retained at home by the country bank from to 10 per cent But that is the only provision of his bin which 1 favor. If any of his SO called emergency currency were eyeI issued bearing a 6 per cent tax il would be the signal for the country banks to begin withdrawing their bal ances, and instead of averting n panic it would make a panic certain.
 If our currency could be made more responsive to the needs of commerce in various sections. and at various sea. sons. we would be in less danger of panic. This in my opinion can be ac cCmplished only by injecting more oi the element of bank credit into our bank note currency. Elasticity means contraction after expansion so that il may expand again. This can only be obtained by making the currency fair ly profitable to the issuing banks so that there will De competition among them to keep their own notes out and to pu@ their competitors in for re. dsmptfon. Ample redemption facili- ties must be provided for that purpose. In~Ihat way only will there never be more or less currency in the channels of commerce than Is required. 1 have always been doubtful whether proper redemption facilities can be provided for our national banking system, con- taining over 5000 individual banks. and my doubts have not been lessened by reading Congressman Fowler's lat
