F|REMEN PLAN
MUCH BETTER
PROTECTION
New Wagon Win At Last Start
For Bisbee-Road Up Chi
huahua Hill Wanted-To
Train Horses.

Besides the attempts they are max
ing to improve the service of the Ere
department by building additional
tanks with proceeds from balls and
other entertainments, the firemen of
the city are at the same time paying
due attention to every other need of
the department At the meeting Of
Company No. 2, which was held Mon
day night, the question of opening a
road through Chihuahua Hill was
taken up and discussed from every
standpoint. The cooperation of the
city council will be asked. and the
property owners will be consulted as
70 whether or not they are willing to
donate a sufficient amount of property
along the proposed route to enable
the city to build this much needed
highway. II is highly important, both
for the protection of the property on
the hill, and that of the business sec
Lion OF the city. that a means of ready
access to all parts of the hill in case
Of fire be afforded.
In regard to the wagon, of which so
much has been said and nothing seen,
Chief Henkel is in receipt of a letter
from the company which is construct
ing it, stating that the wagon has been
quit ana Iudl L0ey are now only walt
ing for the paint and varnish to dry
before they ship it. 1t is therefore ex-
pected that the wagon win be loaded
for shipment by the latter part of the
present week at the latest. BY the
time the wagon has arrived man
will be on the ground ready to at once
put the horses in training for respond
ing promptly and obedietly TO alarms.
Arrangements have been made with
a man who is thoroughly familiar with
this class of work and the horses are
expected to be as we'll trained as those
N any of the larger cities.
At the meeting of the company
above referred to, the coming mas
querade ball that is to be given by
the firemen was fully discussed and
additional plans laid that viii assist
in making a success of the occasion.
A joint meeting of the two compa-
MES of the city will be held On the
evening of the last Thursday in the
present month, at which time there
are many important questions to come
up for consideration.

Heaving the log is one Of those pic.
turesque sea expressions with which
ali landsmen are acquainted, though
probably few could explain the exact
process. The '1og" is a quadrant shap.
ed piece of wood loaded with lead at
the curve. The line to which it is at
tached is 100 fathoms long and is di.
yided by knots into equal distances of
forty-seven feet each. These distances
are the same fraction of a nautical
mile IA knot as twenty eight seconds

Der of knots that slip of the reel in
twenty-eight seconds after the 'log'' is

SHELTER BLOWN IN.

The new Imperial smelter, situated
south of Red Rock in Pinal county,
was completed and blown in" this
week, says the Florence Blade. This
is one of the most complete and mod
ern smelling plants in the territory
and is owned by the Imperial Mining
company, the owners of the famous
Silver Belle mines. These mines, for
two years past, have been shipping to
the Copper Queen smelter at Douglas
about 100 tons per day OF high grade
suIphide copper ore. Frank Nj. Muir
ply, president of the Santa Fe, Pres
colt and Phoenix railroad, E. B. Gage,
president and general manager of the
Tombstone Consolidated Mines COM
pany, d. NJ. Ferry and company, the
noted seed men and Fairbanks and
company of Chicago, are the controll-
ing owners of the property. They al
so own the Poland mines in Yavapai
county. the Congress mine in Mari
copa and all the big mines at Tomb
stone. It is quite probable that they
will treat the ores Of all these great
properties at the Imperial smelter as
il is connected with all of them by
railroad and nearly equal distance
from each other. This new plant will
also treat custom ores of which there
is a large amount within convenient
distance of it The Casa Grande dis
trict lies about thirty miles west of
it and 1t is only about thirty-five
miles from Florence, across a level
plain to IL. A railroad could be
graded from here to Red Rock for
$500 per mile and with such a. rail-
road completed all the vast supply of

be shipped to the Imperial smelter
at small cost of transportation, hence

Rear Admiral Sigsbee, in a recent
article in the Youths Companion, re-
ferrcd to a story told him by an Off
Ger who had sailed on the Portsmouth
off The African coast, hunting for
slavcrs. The story goes that the
Portsmouth was once challenged to
race by a foreign man-ofwar, and
sailed round the foreigner twice.
The admiral regards this as a good
sea yarn which he is content to leave
undisturbed A correspondent who
was on board the Portsmouth at the
time writes 10 the Companion that in
the log which he kept of the cruise he
finds the facts which bear out the
story. On November ~, 1859, the
Archer British sloop of war, and the
Portsmouth were lying at anchor off
Kensington, West Africa. Both got
under way about the same time, all
sails set, and started on a trial of
speed. Whether the race had been
planned or was an informal brush"
is not recorded, but it is true that in
the race that followed the Portsmouth
sailed clean round the Archer. The
evident establishment of the incident
to make it a worthy sea yarn is the
word twice"

The Human Engine.

OF all the engines cunningly de-
vised by man not one can equal that
masterpiece of construction, the en-
CINE of the human frame. To run that
engine, air is the first necessity. Con-
struct it how you will, the greater part
of the energy which feeds a power
plant is lost before it reaches the APP
plying machine. The body, declares
Hollis Godfrey in the Atlantic, only
has the power Of using energy really
economically and efficiently. It's food
is it's fuel. To be available, all the
constituents of that food must be
burned, producing heat and power.
For that burning the oxygen of the air
is essential. Equally true is 1t that
nitrogen must be present to prevent
the rapid combustion which would
take place in oxygen alone. But
slow, the action is the same. The
body burns the carbon and hydrogen
of it's food and gives out the oxides of
these substances, carbon dioXide Gear
bon acid gas) and hydrogen oxide
(water). The water that is formed
within the body by the burning of
hydrogen is of comparatively slight
Importance in a consideration of the
vital questions Of the effect of city air
upon the individual, but the other fac
tor, the carbon dioxide formed in the
body, is of direct Importance.

Denial Of the probability of a war
between Japan and the United States
would be gratuitous if there were not
SO much persistent talk about the
dreadful possibility. 1t may be worth
while to collect three recent utter
ances on the subject by persons who
know. A French officer who has been
in Japan making dispassionate study
OF military matters, says, in effect,
that Japan is physically incapable OF
war with the United States. The
American ambassador TO Japan, Mr.
O'Brien, says that war talk is absurd
Marquis Katsura, the new head of the
Japanese cabinet, supports his asser-
ton that Japan is bent on peace by
pointing out that the financial problem
of Japan is sufficient to engross her
for some time to come. War between
this country and Japan is possible; so
is war between any two nations But
It is a perverse jingoism which tries
TO brighten folk with so nebulous a
possibility.
