What is the great herb remedy

FARMERS and the Markets.

Bringing the farmer and his
market together as Gross in the Sat
urday Evening Post says is one of
the results of good roads AS shown
by Gross the quick transportation of
agricultural products by railroads is
dependent largely upon good roads,
and without this quick transportation
the markets, the railroads, the farm
ers and the consumers suffer.
Railroad men themselves argue
that their success in transportation
largely depends on the condition OF
the public highways. r. "A, Delano,
president of the Wabash Railway
keen observer and close student of
all conditions affecting railroad traf-
fic-declares:
You have no idea to what extent
had roads affect railway traffic. We
notice the fluctuations Of business
from week to week. The falling on
due to bad roads is often as high as
fifty per cent. OF the business receIv-
ed at country stations. In the rush
of the crop-moving season the rail-
ways are generally so swamped with
business that an adequate equipment
and prompt service is difficult, II not
impossible. ~ - ass.
Uniformly good roads over the
country would prolong the crop
moving period for several months,
and thereby not only relieve the traf-
tic congestion, but the financial sit
uation as we'll. With good roads and
equalization of the traffic, the rail-
ways could furnish better facilities
to Its patrons with ten to twenty per
cent. less car equipment than at pres
ent. with the intermittent and erratic
shipments. The greatest need of this
country today Is good roads.
a. j. Earling president Of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and s. Paul Rail-
way. says:
The benefits OF good roads could
not be well oyerstated, as hey apply
to every one. From the railway
viewpoint, they would make our sta
tons accessible throughout the year
and tend to equalize the movement
of freight and relieve the congestion
that at times is very great, especial
~ at the crop-moving season.
w. Il. Biddle, third vice-president
of the Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific, the St. Louis and San Fran
cisco, and the Chicago and Eastern
Illinois Railways, in charge of traffic,
says:
We are much Interested in road
improvement and consider it sub
ject in which the shipper and the car
rier are mutually concerned. The
bad condition of the country roads
during certain seasons of the year
when traffic is largely suspended re-
suits in congestion at other seasons,
with the inability on the part of the
carriers to handle It. while at other
times the roads have surplus of
equipment that is unemployed be-
cause of the inability of the farmers
to reach tho stations. There is no
question hut that the Improvement
OF the roads viii result in more
equal distribution OF traffic, enabling
carriers to move 1t to the greater sat
isfaction Of the public, with less cost
to themselves.
Our lines have studied this sltua-
ton and have made repeated efforts
through highway officials to create
an interest in good-road movements,

city Building Needed.


THE need OF a-city building for the
accommodation OF the various city
offices is given further emphasis by
the recent action Of the city council
in authorizing the mayor and city
clerk to rent additional quarters for
that purpose. That additional quar-
tiers for the city offices are necessary
is self-evident fact as 1t is nothing
less than wonder that the city Of
ficials manage to transact the yolum-
nous business Of the municipality in
the crowded and cramped quarters
now used. But, instead Of adding a
further current expense upon the tax
payers of the city, would 1t not be
better in the long run for the city to
erect Its own building in place of
having It's various headquarters and
places Of business scattered all over
the city?
In the rooms on Court street now
occupied by the city Offices. practical
ly all Of the city's business affairs
are transacted. Three small rooms
are utilized at present for mayors
Office, council chamber, city clerks
headquarters and archives, Office OF
the city treasurer and collector, head
quarters of the city water works de.
partment where thousands Of dollars
in small sums are handled every
month; headquarters of the superin-
tendent of streets, offices of the city
surveyor with insufficient room for
the maps, profiles and other neces-
sary papers; offices of city attorney.
city health officer, city assessor, chief
of police, police headquarters and
lookup that is, by the way, u monu-
mental disgrace to the city.
The cost of maintaining adequate
quarters for all of, these city officers
would certainly be much less were
all of the offices housed In one
building instead OF having them
scattered around the city in rented
rooms, as a simple little calculation
will show. What the city needs and
what it ought to have is substan-
tial building where all of these Of
ticers can be given ample room for
the transaction of all city business
including better place for the city
IRE department.
Besides the saving in the city's
running expenses much confusion
and inconvenience would be avoided
by the establishment of city build
ing. both to citizens and the city Of
Gcials. Citizens would not be placed
to so much trouble in having to run
all over the city in order to transact
a little business with the clerks and
officials and the clerks and officials
themselves would not have the use
less trouble and bother of running
from one city Office to another when
giving attention to matters that
have to be referred from
department to department.
The city needs a building sufficient
for the demands OF its business, in
the interests of the citizens, the city
officials and all others who have bust
ness to transact with the municipal
ity and it would be cheaper and con-
siderably more convenient all around
If plans to that end were taken up
at once and followed out.

xAuApAi COUNTY MINES

Bonding his mining cIaim, after an ownership of quarter of a century, for the modest sum of 5000, and dis covering immediately after it had passed cut of his possession, ore on its surface which assayed $400 to the ton in gold, is the experience of John Thomson, who recently found Q six-inch paystreak of ore on the apex Of the ledge of the Paymaster mine, in the Hassayampa district.
 Thomson, who is known among the pioneers of that district as "Scotty," ," bonded the property to Andy Linn, Of this city, last January. He then took charge of the development of the mine for it's new. owner. He began prospecting the apex of the vein in systematic manner, with the view of locating a good site on which to sink the shaft. Fifteen hundred feet from the old workings he discovered six inches of ore that samples S4O0 to the ton in gold.
 Thomson at once began sinking a shaft and now has it down depth of thirty feet on the new find, which shows continuity in size and values the entire distance. Linn, the own CT, is elated over the discovery and is preparing to increase the force of miners at the property, preparatory to pushing the shaft down as rapidly as possible.
 The Paymaster is among the oldest locations in the Hassayampa district Tn 1865 William Kirkland, one of the pioneers of the territory, took S25, 900 worth Of gold ore cut of a shaft scarcely 100 feet in depth. He packed the ore on burros to Kirk land valley, where he extracted the values by the primitive arastra meth od, in one of the first ara Ttras ever built in the county Many hundred tons of rich ore was taken out Of drifts and stCpes from this shaft in later years of which there is no rec ord. Since it passed into Scotty's possession it has produced very little ore as he never succeeded in locating the rich paystreak until after he had bonded it to Linn.
 The ledge is i'll a granite and DOT phyry contact, which can be traced the length of several claims in north easterly and southwesterly direction. It adjoins the Independence group ,lo- cated twelve miles south of this city.

IMPROVED TONE
 IN MONEY MARKET
More Confidence Can Be Seen and Felt Among the h.
 VeSting Public, f
Boston News Bureau

While there is no decided change in the money market, the tone there as elsewhere is an improving one. There is more confidence discernible and as this has been the chief in gredient lacking to bring about easier conditions, it's appearance now is not only most encouraging, but significant -
 Time money is being offered more freely, and even Boston banking in stitutions are asking for note brok- CTS lists, and in many cases are in the market for choice names. To be sure, good names are still selling as high as 6 per cent, but one leading firm Of monel brokers says that the very choicest names can be placed at , 1-2 per cent, and even per cent; if not here elsewhere. The West is a good buyer and New York is pura chasing literally.
 It seems to be good banking opin- ion that, barring unfavorable devel- opments, money will gradually ease. The point is made that the stock tick CT expressed a confidence in the higher financial circles which, if continued, must be reflected generally before long. There is sufficient money the moment it is felt that the outlook warrants it's investment.
 On call, money is in good supply to the quick borrowers at per cent, and to others 3 1-2 and per cent, accord. ing to character of names and coIlat. eral. Time money rules from 1-2 and 6 per cent for four to six months On Boston collateral.

MARKET CLOSED SOME WEAKER
 SATU RDAY
Ama!gamated Lost Almost 2 Points, While Others Hold Firm = Utah Consolidated Declares 90 Cent Dividend.
(By Frank J. Grail


 Today's market opened in good form, with a splendid demand for stocks and looked as though the close | for the market would be exceptionally strong. This, however, way not the case, for shortly after the opening of the market there was a great deal of selling, which soon caused a weak Earket.
 Amalgamated lost almost two points. Calumet & Arizona opened strong at 106 1-4, but closed at 104. The paying of the S1.00 dividend had very little effect on the stock Butte Coalition held firm the greater part of the day. 1t is very likely that Butte Coalition will pass their divi- dend again and not pay any till late in the fall Greene Cananea showed weakness at the close, which was somewhat of a surprise to many, for Greene Cananea ought to go up, es- pecially since there is considerable foundation to the report that they are to resume operations shortly Superior & Pittsburg holds well at 13 Is.
 Utah Consolidated have declared dividend of 50 cents per share, pay able on April 18th. The forecast for the coming week is somewhat hay, although there is nothing in sight to cause any uneasiness, and would be inclined to believe that we should see better prices than the contrary. l have just compiled the high and low prices for the leading, listed and ul- listed copper stocks for the year of 1907, which may be had for the ask ing.

ISLE OE ROiALE IN
 BEST CONDITION
Michigan Mine Faces the Most Promising Outlook In
 Its History.

Houghton, Mich, March 27.-The Isle Royale mine is in more prom ising condition than ever before ln its long career. The old Isle Royale, Huron and Grand Portage mines, which, with several scantily deVol- ed prospects. were merged in the making of the present Isle Royale consolidation, were opened more than 50 years ago and collectively made many thousand tons Of copper, but never at a permanent profit, lacking railroads, cash and other essentials.
 The Isle Royale company, after le years of life, has scored at least Q partial success with it's earlier work ings, being able to get new dollar for an old in bad times, and to make a little money in a good copper mark ct. The old mine has been worked steadily, despite the bad blow caused by the burning of one of the two new shafts, and exploratory and develop ment work. has been continued sys' tematically This policy apparently is about to be rewarded liberally, the newer openings of the mine giving much premise. while there is little reason in doubt that the Battle bed, north Of the Superior, will give the Isle Royale big and rich mine, though some years vii! be needed for devel- opment. -
 The company possesses a great ad' vantage in that is has all the ma chinery, staff, railroad and mill need ed for the bringing of a new mine to the stage of production, hence this work can be done at very much less cost than would be possible in the the case of any new mine, no matter how good the management, if develop cd from the start as a separate prop, erty. Locally the feeling toward Isle Royal is decidedly optimistic, and seems fully warranted.
