GOOD REPORT FROM KOFA.
A Mining District in Northern Yuma
 Coming to the Front.

Kofa. the spelling of which is di- vided into ''K. of A." meaning the King of Arizona, is fast coming tC the front. It promises to outshine Nevada $ richest camps. Outside "t the King mine there is little ma chinery installed, as everything else is lately discovered. Col. Epes Ran dalph and Hon. E. s. Ives a.'e inter ested in the King of Arizona.
 The King has been a steady divi- dend payer for the past twelve years and is still in it's prime. The North Star mine, now called the Golden Star, comes next. They have had a small mill installed for the past three months and are shipping about $2O0,- GOO per month with expenses about SlO,OO0. New machinery is arriving that will double the capacity inside of thirty days. This mine is the one that Ed Rogers and MT. Hyman of Aspen, Colo, and MT. Hamburger of Salt Lake City bought little over year ago for the Arizona record price of S35O, 1000, with only a 5O-foot hole down, but they could not resist S2 per pound rock.
 The America strike, which lays be- tween the Ready Money group and the King, struck the main ledge last week at the 50-foot level. It shows rich values. Some of the rock is alive with gold. Their best assay was about S22, 1000 per ton. This was exceptional, the general run being from S6 to Sl35 per ton. This prop erty was sold for SlO0,O00 when there was only S2O worth of work done.
 The American girl group reports good ore. The Modesti and MOIretti group have several ledges that run from S20 to $50 per ton. The owners have d large income from other prop critics and neglect their richest op- portunity. The Rittlesnake, that was sold for S2OO, ,OOO some few months ago, is now valued at many times that figure. The Mother Lode was sold for SSO, 1000 in four payments. TT e purchasers were two days tardy with the second payment and the sellers refused to accept and have gone to work.

Murray Butler to Succeed President
 Eliot of Harvard.

A report dated December 27th was current among prominent Harvard alumni that James s. Storrow was to become the immediate successor to Dr. Charles w. Eliot as president of Yale, to be succeeded himself within a few months by Nicholas Murray Butler, now president of Columbia. This report has not been confirmed.
 MT. Storrow is a leading number of the Boston banking firm of Lee, Hig- ginson & O. If the report is cor rect, his expressed disinclination to accept the Harvard presidency may have been overcome, it is said, by the plan of making bis incumbency of the office temporary and having MT. Butler succeed him within d year.

Tn Every Department of Banking the First Natl Clifton is Prepared Serve You in
 
Worlds Gold Production.

At the present. rate of production the worlds gold mines will produce during the current year the high record figure of almost S400, ,000, 900,
 which is something below the United States gold output this year, plus the gold from Mexico mines controlled by American capital. The monetary stock of gold in the world is B, 700.- 100000. It will be perceived that if the world goes on increasing at the ratio of the last five years during twelve years the result will be an addition to the stock of gold that will equal the value of the existing gold in the shape of coins.
 The fine arts consume gold to the value of Sl25, ,OOO,OOO a year. Taking the lowest estimate of the gold pro dnction for this year, S385, 900, ,0O0, it will be seen that for this period there will be $26, ,OO1, ,0OO to add to the worlds gold reserves. These figures are startling, and they serve to prove that tn e recovery of business which is most evident in countries that con- trol the largest sums in gold, is based upon the steady and increasing vol ume of gold production. History is itself. As trade the world over was stimulated when gold began to flow from California and Austra- lia half a century ago, so trade today is feeling the tonic from the great gold production of 1908 Boston Fi- nanCial News

Standard Must Quit in Missouri.

A dispatch from Jefferson City Mo-, says:
 Declaring that the Standard Oil company of Indiana. the Republic Oil company of Ohio, and the Waters-Pierce Oil company of Mis- sJuri had conspired and combined to monopolize the oil business of this state, the supreme court of Missouri issued d decree busting all three from the commonwealth and fining them S5O,OOO each.
 The decree against the Waters Pierce company is tempered by the promise that it may continue in busi- ness if by January l5, 1909, it can show to the court that it has taken steps to operate as an independent concern and has satisfied the judg- ment against it. T3S other com panies are given until March l, 1909, tn wind up their affairs in the state.
 The decision, which was unanimous on the part of the seven judges, is so sweeping that Attorney General duQ Olh Hall IL dS the end of illegal commercial com binations in Missouri, and the former asserts that in conjunction with the decision of the supreme court of the United States, in the tobacco trust case, it will affect similar suits in other states.
 Attorney General Hadley, who prosecuted the Missouri case since its inception in March, 1905, will be- come governor in less than a month and then will be charged with the en- forcement of the decree issued to- day. The attorney general followed up the promulgation of the decree by the court with a statement in which he asserted that attempts had been made to compromise the suits.
 It was intimated that the oil com panies were willing to accept a large fine and concede victory to the state. The propositions were never reduced to details, but they were entirely legitimate in any other form of litigation.

Board Of Trade Meeting.

The Board of Trade meeting on Tuesday evening was an interest ing one, several matters of interest being taken up. A communica- Country Life, lately appointed by President Roosevelt for looking in to conditions in country life with a view to improving them, was read before the board and the list of questions propounded to the Board by the Commission was re- ferred to the Advertising Commit tee for reply. This list of questions is being sent ont broadcast to all sorts of orga nizations and 10 in dividuals in all parts of the United States, and when the returns are in the hands of the Com mission, the replies should enable this body to obtain very large amount of the most valuable information up on which to base a report to the President. Probably the most in teresting question propounded was the one asking an opinion as to the most important thing needed to make country life more profit able and enjoyable.
 Another matter which has come to hand Is a list of all the chief bulletins of the Government on a very large range of subjects, ar ranged under separate headings, and giving price of each. Prices asked for these pamphlets and books is cEly such an amount as will prevent foolish use of the same by persons asking for them out of curiosity. and just covers actual cost of per and printing. This list is to be placed in every post office for the general information of the public, and can also be found at tn, Eoard of trade office, where the secretary will be glad to give all ossible information concerning the use of these pam phlets. As these deal with sub jects all the way from the history of the National Capitol to how to raise alfalfa, they are an invalu- able assistance to all classes.

Additional Local.

Mine Host L. J. F. Jaeger, of the Tucson Santa Rita and the Mon- tezuma hotel, spent yesterday in the city looking after his extensive real estate interests.
 The ball game last Sunday be- tween Ncgales and Fort Huachuca hines, was we'll worth the price. Nogales won by score of 3 to ? The Nogales Nationals now have the best pitcher and catcher in the southwest.
 One day this week Mrs. William Smith had the misfortune to step on nail which passed almost en- tirely through her foot. Dr. Smell ker dressed the wound, which was 8 very painful one, and at this writ ing the lady is getting along nicely.
 Da milan Pima, the Mexican shoe maker, suspected of having mur- dered Mrs. Guadalupe Castillo, is still held in the county jail. His young son, who is supposed to know more about the awful crime, than he has told, is also being held by the authorities as witness against his father.

Noon, being aware of the great demand for houses in this city, will build number of small houses which he will rent to de- sirable parties as soon as they are completed.
 The South -Bend-NVatch, running and keeping perfect time, frozen in a block of solid ice, on exhibition in the big show window of E. J. PelIegrin, the jeweler, this week, has attracted large crowds, and cs q result The South Bend Watch Is we'll advertised in Nogales, and if the firm selling them does not receive many orders from this sect ion of the country, it is TO fault of MT. Pellegrin. This week throughout the United States 10000 jewellers are advertising the South Bend-Watch, frozen in a block of solid ice, and as the expense is not small, some idea can be had of the large amount of money spent an nually by the South Bend-Watch people in advertising.

OPERATE LINE IN DECEMBER.
New Road From NOsaIes to CaHenea
 Is Nearly Completed.

It was learned today at the Ran dolph offices that trains on the new road between Nogales and Ca nanea will be in operation about the middle of December. IL is ex- pected that the first train will be run out of Nogales probably on December 15 and a regular service will be continued on the line from that date on, says the Tucson Citizen.
 At the present time the greater portion of the road has been finish ed and nearly all of the difficult work has been done. The distance from Nogales to Cananea by rail is about seventy-five miles, which is considerably more shan the dis tance directly across county. It was necessary. however, 10 take 8 curving route in order 10 get by the mountains between the two towns.
 With the completion of the No gales Cananea line. direct train service will be given between Tue son and Cananea and the long and tedious waits at junction points will be done away with. At the present time in going from Tucson to Cananea, it is necessary to change cars at Benson and also at Naco. At Benson the transfer is from the Southern Pacific to the E -Paso and Southwestern. At Naco it is from the Fl Paso and Southwestern to the branch of the Cananea, Yaqui River and Pacific. Trains on the new line will con- meet at Nogales with the Interna tional from Tucson.

A Big Excursion.

The CananeaNogales railway will be open for business between the two points some time next month and it is planne by the officials of the $. P system to have big excursion to Cananea. H. E. Grace, the agent here, states that it is the intention to make especially low rates from Guaymas, Hermosillo, Tucson, Patagonia, and other points to Nogales and a very low rate from here. Trains from outside points will arrive here in the evening and next morning at about or ' o'clock, one big train will leave for the great copper camp, returning the same day. It will be a business mens' excursion and our citizens and especially the business men, should take ad- vantage of the grand opportunity for boosting Nogales. in a business way. The road runs through a rich and productive country, the trade of which logically belongs to Nogales.

 The bull fight last Sunday on the Mexican side of the line, was largely attended and everybody who likes excitement, music, noise, blood galore, and many other things incident to real bull fights in Mexico, got the ful: worth of his money. One of the wild bulls from the Cocospera mountains. jumped over the inner enclosure among the spectators on "The ground floor" Fortunately no one was hurt, and the bull was driven back into the pen, where the sons of Spain, finished him in a most paihs-taking manner, to the delight of those present After the bulls, came the contest between the bull fighters and a long horned COW, of uncertain age. Not for a moment was the ancient member of the bovine family in it with her Tomorrow afternoon l there will be another fight, which no doubt will be largely attended by hundreds of our people who are fond of music and excitement.
