Activity of laps on
 Border is Surprising

4 correspondent in Chihuahus sends the Fl PasO Herald a remark ble rom. mucication bearing on the J-panese in this section. Enough of this kind of work is absolutely known to local fed. eral authorities to warrant the belief that the Chihuahua man knows what he is talking about. His letter follows:
 "I wonder whether the war de psrtment of the United States knows one.tenth as much about our unpro- tected southwest border and it's ap. breaches through Mexico as does that of Japan.
 For the past nine months the lat. ter government has had scouting par. ties in northern Chihuahua and So- nora studying the boundary, the mountain trails and passes and mak- ing maps of the same.
 More than go have gone down from Juarez to Casa Grande and have sntuSo tie'ticd Ou tOOt MI through the Sierra Msdres and all along the country they cay they intend to travel over when We invade the United States

"They usually make the bluff of in- quiring tine way to Cananea or Naco- Isri or other mining csmps, but they are soldiers, and always have some in telligent, capable leader, we'll provided with money.

Complaints Against
 Wells-Fargo Co,

Fora al complaint against Wells Fargo & Co.'S express rates applying to ana from Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa has been forwarded by the Msricopa Commercial club to the interstate commerce commission at Washington.
 The Phoenix Democrat says that the club's reason for making direct com plsint to the commission in this case is because merchsnts have in the past c mplained informally to the commis- sion of the excessive rates charged them. Following the usual routine theee complaints were sent by the commission :o the express company, but without effect. It was therefore concluded that little, if anything, could be gained by petitioning the express company, and that the quick est and shortest remedy was to go direct to the commission.
 Traffic Manager Jones cited an inter- esting comparison that was brought to his attention by q Phoenix merch- ant, where a fortJ J-fve pound package was carried from Philadelphia to Santa Rosa, N. M., by the U s Express Com. pany, distance of 2l6S miles, !or S5. 9, Wells-Fsrgo Go. charging $i for bring ing the package on to Phoenix, A dis. tsnce of TOO miles.
 As illustrations of discriminations imposed. the following are interesting The distance from Fl Psso, Texas, to Gallup, \. M Is the same as Phoen x to Gallup, ye; Fl Psso hs. & general special rate os a. while Phoenix pays S& sS.
 Topeka, Kansas, can send butter and eggs to Gal up, distance of l0lo miles, for q loser rate than can Mesa and Tempe. 4s0 miles.
 Rates s's Su per cent pc. 100 pounds lower from los Angeles to Fl Psso on irait aud vegetables than Iron, Phoe nix te El rssc, jus, one hall the mile. age Rates are lower from the esst to California than Phoenix.

Steamship Rates Cut
 On Pacific Coast

The most startling cut in steamship ratea on the west coast in years has been made by the Hartman people, who announce 6 first class rate be- tween San Francisco and Pc tland of sl0, and a second class rate of only $5. This means that the Northern Pacific Steamship company, Hxrri- man chief competitor, will have to meet the cut or lose the traffic.
 With the low rate on the two lead ing steamship lines, it is stated that many steam schooners between San Francisco and Portland will have to go out of the passenger carrying busi- ness or lose heavily in the trsnssc- tior,

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local explorations, ss they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way to cure deafness and that is by constitutional remedies Deafness is caused by an infiamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infiamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when It is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal conditic3, hearing will be de stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is noth- ing but an unframed condition of the mucuous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollar for any case of Deafness (caused by cs tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Cstarrh Cure. Send for cir culars free.

The organlzation of the Ari- zona = Sonora branch of the American Mining Congress which was effected at Bisbee this week will be a factor for much good exerted in behalf of the mining interests in gen. eral and Arizona-SOnora in particular. One of the chief recommendations of the Ma tional Congress to be per sistently urged by the various branch organizations is the creation of a department of mines and mining by the gov ernment that the great mining industry like that of agricul- ture and other departments in the governmental service, may receive the benefits of the in vestigations and experiments in the various branches that follow. This will encourage education in practical and scientific mining and metal lurgy and dissemination ofin- formation which will have a wholesome bearing on the in- dustry. The Mining Congress and the various western branches have matters of vital interest before them. The Arizona branch may be depended upon to do their share toward accomplishment of the high aims and worthy ambitions of the comm on cause.

The recent bank failure al Bisbee did not cause much Of a furry in financial circles and business was not materi- ally affected in the prosperous copper city. The financial in- terests of Arizona are on sub- stantial basis and it would require considerable of a finan- cial earthquake to upset the general underpinning of con fdence. For this reason also it is fair to presume that the suspended institution will shortly recover and resume business.
