Has cost of living Increased
faster than have wages? The
answer il found in the follow
lag table Of two lines:
Increase.
Cost of living ......4s per cent
Wages Is per cert
Frank w. Hitchcock, now
National Republican chairman,
former frst assistant postmas-
ter-general, recommended
$4,000 900 increase in the COM
pensation Of letter carriers, CIV
ing as his reason that cost OF
living has materially increased.
Salaries of senators and repre-
sentatives were increased SO per
cent, and many speeches were
made In both bodies to show
that 80 heavy has been the In
crease in living cost that the
raise in congressional salaries
was necessary, lest only wealthy
men be able to accept Office in
either branch of the congress.
Need any housewife be told
these facts? Is there q head OF
q family who does not realize
their truth!

HEAVY ORE TRAIN.
(From Wednesdays Daily

tFrom Wednesdays Daily
At the present time the regular ore
train between Douglas and Bisbee Is
believed TO be the heaviest train run
over any railway in the country. Every
day this takes from the mines at Bis
ing capacity Of fifty tons each, be
sides ten ears known M gondolas, load.
cd with the sample ores for the Copper
Queen smelter. One Of the steel ears
used on the Southwestern road will
weigh forty thousand pounds and will
carry 100000 pounds Of ore. Sixty OF
these ears, loaded, will weigh $4,000
pounds or 1900 tons. This enormous
train IL pulled by one Of the large de-
capod engines which has no trouble in
delivering the enormous load to Doug
las. In the morning the empty ears
are brought 10 Don Louis and from
there they are taken by the Bisbee yard
crew and distributed to the various
mining shafts in the district. When
they are loaded the yard crews deliver
them back to Don Louis, where the
monster ore train is made up ready for
the road crew. Besides this regular
daily ore train the local freight be
tween Benson and Douglas carries
from twenty to thirty loaded ore cars
from Bisbee to Douglas every day. The
number Of loads Of ore now going IA
Douglas daily has averaged about 81
since the first Of February.

PRESCOTT KNIGHTS ELECTED TO
OFFICE.
uFrom Thursdav'- Daily,

District Attorney Morrison returned
last night from Tucson, where he at
tended the first state council Of the
Knights OF Columbus. Mrs. Morrison
will remain in Phoenix for couple or
weeks.
The fact that a state council Of the
Knights Of Columbus mas been estab-
lished proves the remarkable growth Of
the order in this Territory, where the
first local council was set up only two
or three years ago, for there cannot be
state council with a membership of
less than 400. There IL margin over
that in Arizona; in fact, IL is thought
that the membership Is nearer 500.
The first officers OF the state council
are: r. T.. Cole, Of Bisbee, state
deputy; j. G. wclch, state secretary,
+. J. +. Horne. of this city. state treas
urer; j. !. Reilly, state warden; Eu.
gene Brady O'NeiIl, state advocats;
Capt. p. =. Carey, chaplain at Fort
Whipplc, state chaplain.
The first annual meeting OF the coun.
ell will be held at Globe on the second
Tuesday Of May.
The members Of the council were
given n warm welcome by the citizens
Of Tucson, stated Mr.. Morrison.
Mr.. Morrison was interviewed by the
Tucson and Phoenix papers, during his
absence from the city, on the political
aspect in the Territory, the tenure Of
his remarks being that he thought the
people Of Arizona owed senator For.
aker complimentary vote for the
Presidency, in payment for tho worn

SALVATION ARMY AND THE
ARIZONA STATUTE

Is a Salvation Army lassic woman
This seems to be the substance of n
question that is agitating Bisbee
saloonists and Others TIE saloon men
have stopped the Army people from
soliciting in their resorts, and other
business and professional men of the
southern copper town declare they
should be allowed to enter the saloons,
as upon this depends the maintenance,
to "A great extent, Of the organization
known as the Salvation Army.
Says the Bisbec Miner, speaking of
the matter;
The measure which last April was
added TO the statutes of the Territory
Of Arizona, prohibiting women from
lettering about saloons may in the near
future be contested as to it's validity
or it's scope.
The recent enactment has been re-
called during the past few days by a
unanimous action taken by saloon men
of the city in barring Salvation Army
women from their places Of business.
This has already been keenly felt by
the local corps of the army, the source
Of large portion of the army's in
come thereby being cut of.
The statute forbids women from
lettering about saloons. The proprie'
tors Of saloons in this city are not dis.
eliminating in the matter and have
forbid Salvation Army women, like all
others, from entering their places.
BY the action taken by the saloon
men, condition is now existing in
Bisbee, probably unknown to any other
city in the United States, unless II be
towns of the Territory Of Arizona. Ow
ing to the fact that the Salvation Army
post of every city depends largely on
contributions from patrons Of saloons
the same situation prevailing in Bisbee
the matter is very likely to be aired In

stitutional by the higher courts' Var.
ious attorneys Of the city differ in their
opinions as to the matter and il is
probable that legal test will be nee.
cssary before final decision is reached.
Is a Salvation Army lass privileged
to enter public drinking placef DO
the salvation Army women "loiter'
about saloons when they enter them to
take up collcctions' These questions
will have to be settled probably, before

TIMBER USED FOR sPooLs
Is WORTH MILLIONS.
from Thursday Duliyl

Small things are not 20 I've overlooked
in considering the problems Of tho w,
ture timber supply. The matchmaker
IL having as much trouble In eettiae
the grade Of wood necessary for his
business as the dealer in telegraph
poles.
One Of the industries which dealp
with small things, yet, when IL one Of
the utmost importance TO the country's
commerce, is the manufacture and or,
port Of spool wood. This business L.
peculiar to the New England states,
and Is centered in Maine. Spool fact
cries Of this state are now turning out
eight hundred million spools annually,
with market value Of nearly $1,000.

The best quantity Of timber IL used
for the manufacture of spools. white
birch, which il used almost exclusively
for this industry, reaches tne factory
in the form Of bars from y 60 9 s-Is
inches square and from 2i5 to 4 feet
long. These bars must he absolutely
clear. The birch Is cut in winter and
sawed In small portable mills which
operate near some railroad line, about
2 l.3 cords being required for 1000
feet Of bars. After saving, the bars
are piled criss-cross, in order TO faeili.
tate thorough seasoning, and protected
from the weather, are allowed TO season
until June. The spool bar mills in
Maine turn out about fifteen millios
feet Of bars during the year and APP
proximately the same amout Of mater
ial is manufactured into spools in the
state.
The machines for making spools are
complicated and require skilled men for
tncir operation. The spools drop from
the lathe at the rate 81 one per second
and must be perfectly uniform and
true. The finished spools are marketed
in this country largely In Rhode Island,
Connecticut, New York and New Jer.
sey, while the spool bars are largely
exported 10 Greenock and Glasgow,
Scotland, and 10 Hull aud Fleetwood,
England. Shipments to these points
are made mostly from Bangor, rs much
as eight million feet having been seat
from that port in n season.

REAL OPPORTUNITY FOR
INVESTMENT BUYER.

w" 'phn' T'Os SS'-kSpeclhi 'or'
rcspondencc Of the Journal. Miner) -
The market continues to be Of invest.
ment character. I do not mean that IL
is characterized by any great amount
Of investment buying. In days Of pes.
simism and encouragement only the
shrewd and far seeing have the courage
TO buy stocks even for investment.
The big general public in such times
sticks TO bonds OF does not buy Mt all.
IL awaits boom times before IL makes
purchases. What | do mean is merely
That the market offers nothing except
investment attractions. Speculatively
IL is AS dull as ditch water with n
bearish tendency because bad news il
still coming out.
Union Pacific has just announced
that it needs $4,000, 900, mainly to
purchase extensions now under con.
struction, but it's further announcement
that il has over sixteen hundred miles
Of new and mortgagcd tract to borrow
upon shows its plight to be imaginary
rather than real.
The Gould issues have been very soft
and weak for the past few days. This
weakness is in part due to the liquid.
alton Of one or two large blocks Of
stock and in part to the large decrease
in earnings since November. II is
rumored that the Gould control in sew.
eral southwestern properties is slender
and that the situation il such ms TO
offer n fine opening for some crowd TO
accumulate stock for the purpose of
contending with the Gould people for
mastery.
The great success Of the city's sale
Of $4,000, 900 Of bonds has abundantly
demonstrated the underlying strength
in the financial situation, and has shown
beyond peradventure Of doubt that
there is wonderful latent capacity for
absorption of stocks when business and
industrial conditions improve sufficient.
" to make them "look attractive"
The foundations are secure and tne
basis for a rousing bull market is
sound, and yet the fact remains that
no speculative bull movement Ii pos.
sible while the public regards Wall
street with distrust and Wall streets
wares with apathy.
The copper metal market is one Of
the most discouraging features Of the
entire situation. Copper is now practi.
cally at the low level reached in No
vcmber. Stocks are said 10 be accum-
ulating and the day for the rcopening
of idle copper mines in Montana and
the southwest is apparently further of
than ever. Lower prices for Anal
gamated are confidently expected. There
are ut least twenty sound copper stocks
which are daily attracting less and less
of speculative interest on account Of
the dismal present outlook for the met.
al itself. This stagnation offers the in.
vestment buyer his real opportunity
an opportunity Of which he seems to be
almost wholly unmindful.

Ten Billion Papers a Year--Chaneine
Fashions in Drinks.

Some surprising and interesting stats.
tics regarding newspapers throughout
the United States have been gathered
by Appleton's magazine and are pre-.
sented in an article to appear in the
March number. According TO this art.
icle, which is written by General Chas.
II. Taylor, one Of the most widely
known men in the newspaper business,
the total circulation Of the newspapers
Of the country in 1907 was upwards of
ten billion copies. The total income
from advertising and circulation is es.
timatcd at s2OO,O0O.0OO a year which
makes newspaper publishing one of tac
great businesses of the country. Ap.
plcton's is devoting much attention TO
newspapers and the important part they
play in American life, having publish.
cd an article this month telling Of the
services of the press in stopping the
spread of the panic last fall. The
forthcoming article asserts that there
never was a time when the newspaper
reader got so much for mis- money as
today and the claim is borne out by
the statistics that are given.
Fashions change in drinks as in ev.
erything else and nowhere are these
changes more evident than in New
York as is natural IN view of the fact
that the city's drink bill amounts to
nearly a million dollars a day. A few
years ago the various mixed drinks in
which gin figures had a great run and
there was a famine in lines, caused by
the consumption of gin rickeys. Tas
fashion was succeeded by a great de-
mand for Scotch whiskcy, coincident
with the spread Of the highball habit
Now the barkeepers in the big hotels
and other places Of liquid refreshment
along the Great White Way report that
the hignball is passing into a decline
and attribute IL 10 the adulteration Of
Scotch whiskey which robbed it of its
attraction for the man who drinks for
taste rather than for intoxication. Rum
highballs now have the call according
to these same authorities who have the
best of opportunities for observing the
changes of fashion in drinks. In fact
rum, the drink of our grandfathers and
more remote ancestors, seems 10 be
renewing its popularity for all sorts Of
mixed drinks. The reason given IN that
this is about the only form of spirits
that has not been attacked on the
ground of impurity and adulteration.
Men who have been frightened away
from whiskey by the exposure of DR..
Wiley and other pure food agitators
nave taken to rum in the belief that it
is chemically pure and have found 1t
highly agreeable 10 their taste. Whe.
ther this il the reason or whether IL is
due to the New Workers. everlasting
search for novelty it Is interesting as
an example of the fact that fashions
change frequently even in the matter
of drinks.

ARE DRAINING BIO
UNDERGROUND LAKE
From Wednesdays Daily

From Wednesdays Daily
Abraham r. Lewis, n prominent bus
mess man Of San Marcos, Texas, who
arrived in Prescott last evening with
the expectation Of engaging in bust.
ness, should the outlook Justify such a
venture, and who formerly was a we'll
known mining man Of the Clifton. Nor.
enci district, speaking to a Journal
Miner representative, stated that Ed.
ward Green, San Marcos banker, and
n number of other San Marcos business
men, were now engaged in the project
OF draining the underground lake which
many years ago transformed the fam.
Gus FL Roble mine INTO q worthless
hole, Of, as its owner put it, ga fine
well full Of water"
The mine is located in the Guiana.
Juato district, Mexico, and was origin.
ally discovered by Juan Cisneros, a
Spaniard, who, in less than eight
months, took out over sI5O,000 in gold
ore. He began running drifts and tun.
neis, with view to expediting the
work OF getting out the rich ore, when
suddenly he encountered a stream of
water, which, in an Incredibly short
time, completely filed the mine.
Speaking further Of the property,
Mr.. Lewis said:
Efforts were made to rid the mine
OF the water, but they proved unsuc.
ccssful and the property was abandon.
ed. II lay idle for many years ms it
was found that no pumps were power.
full enough to lower the level Of the
water.
"The plan Of tunneling into the side
of the mountain below the old work.
ings was adopted, and this work has
been inprogrcss for some time. This
tunnel is completed for n distance of
about 1000 feet, and il has reached a
point directly beneath the under.
ground lake. At the point where the
tunnel is to start on its upward course
a vein of ore of great richness was
struck
"Thc engineer in charge of the work
is exercising the greatest precaution
TO prevent loss of life among the
workmen when the lake is tapped. He
has arranged system Of electric sig.
nails, extending through the whole
length of the tunnel. Tine workmen at
the head of the tunnel will give the
signal the moment the flow Of water
begins and the workmen will be ex.
pected 10 make run for il TO the
mouth of the tunnel. In order to in.
duce men to undertake the hazardous
work extraordinary high wages are
paid and every possible prccauiion is
taken to prevent the loss Of life.
"Thc tunnel is believed to he at
depth of at least 300 feet below tae
bottom Of the workings of the mine.
The greatest difficulty is experienced
in digging upward through the rock,
but as good ore is being encountered at
different points the project will, in
part, pay for itself.
alt is claimed that there il no doubt
ms TO the richness of the mine, and
that. while the tunnel work is very ex.
pensive, the vast ore body which will
be encountered when the mine is un.
watered will reveal a bonanza equal to
the best mine in Mexico. II the pro.
jcct succeeds San Marcos will be able
to boast Of several millionaircs."
