LONG CRUISE
At High Speed Planned
For the Chester.
Ship TO Take Ocean Trip 10
Ponta Del Gada.
Other Scout Ships to Take Similar
Tests at Later Period.

New York, Aug. 12.-ArgumentS and
speculations regarding the speed Of the
Chester, the only one Of the new tur-
bine scout cruisers having four pro-
rellers, will be settled before long. if
plans now being perfected in detail are
carried out. These plans involve a trip
at top speed from Portsmouth, y. IL.
where the cruiser now is, TO the
Azores, with Ponta Del Cada, on the
island Of san Miguel as the objective
point.
50 far the honors Of speed between
the Chester with the Parsons type of
turbine. and the Salem, a twin screw
boat, with Curtis engines. seem to be
i'll favor Of the latter and this long
trip, under high power conditions. to
a point about 400 miles off tn- coast
of Portugal, will demonstrate whether
the foreign built machinery can stand
up with the American product
The cruiser, it is expected. will sail
from Portsmouth Monday and in the
meantime, Commander Henry Il. Will
son, her captain. and Lieutenant A. f.
H. Yates. her engineer officer, are do
ing everything in their power to get
the feet boat in readiness to stand the
gruclling strain to which she will be
subjected
1t is regarded as not unlikely that
the Salem as the Birmingham, the
third of the scout cruisers. will also be
sent on deep sea cruises when the re-
suits of the present trip are made
known and their comparative values

ought to be with the team; and the
president himself, whose old-fash-
iOned methods have TO be modified in
accordance with modern progress.
outside of the distinctly college
types, there are those who are no
less amusing, such as the multi-mil-
lionaire, Hiram Bolton, who endows
the college and makes it all sorts of
gifts because it had expelled him
and so allowed him to lay the foun-
dations of a business career at an
early age: and the town marshall,
Daniel Tibbetts, who sternly endeav-
ors to assert his legal rights, but
fails ignominiously through the
Vaccinations and strategems Of the
students.
The women characters are no less
well drawn and each one of the
flock of girls who help on the plot,
stands out as a distinct personality.
When ii is added that each role
is intrusted to an actor especially
selected for his suitability and ca
pability, it needs no further assur-
ance that The College Widow" is
emphatically a play which amuses
and entertains; and one that no
lover of the drama, who cares to see
life las 1t really Is" reproduced upon
the stage, can afford to miss.

COPPER OUTPUT
SHOWS GOOD
GAIN
New Mexico Increases Supply
of World Says U. S.
Geological Survey.

A press bulletin just issued by the
L. $. Geological Survey has the fol-
lowing to say about New Mexico's
copper output:
A substantial increase in produc-
tion, attributed mainly to the Burro
Mountain camp, was the feature of
the copper industry in New Mexico
in 1906. The total output of blister
copper for the year amounted to
7,O99.S42 pounds, a gain of about
!, ,700,0 900 pounds, compared with the
output of 1905. 1ne production
came chiefly from the Burro Noun
tain and Santa Rita-Hanover, dis
| tricts in Grant county.
The Burro Mountain district,
southwest of Silver City, yielded
about one-half Of the total output of
the territory. The mines of this
district are less than 400 feet deep
and are not very wet. Transportation
to branch line of the Santa Fe
! Railway at Silver City is effected by
wagon, but the construction of a mar
row gauge railway was begun in
| 1906 The concentrates are shipped
to Arizona and Colorado smelters,
and some ore goes to the Comanche
smelter at Silver City, whence the
matte Is shipped to Arizona for con-
version The labor employed is
| largely Mexican.
The deposits of ,he Santa Rita
| district, east of Silver City, were
worked by Indians before the com
ing OF the Spanish explorers. The
district maintained it's output in 1906
chiefly through the operation OF
leases. The ore deposits of this dis
trict somewhat resemble those OF
Globe, Ariz. The surface quartzite
which ranges up TO 200 feet in thick
ness and is underlain by porphyry
carries cuprite and native copper in
its countless fractures and joints
The underlying porphyry carries
chalcocite ores along certain zones
of crushing and alteration Thos'
. ores We're i'm places very rich, bu
they have now been almost exhaust
ed and the bulk of the production
in 1906 came from the quartzit,

are recovered mainly by the use o
hand jigs, and the rich concentrate
produced are shipped 70 El Paso 70

The ores Of the Hanover district
lying Just east Of Santa Rita. occu
chiefly as contract metamOrphic de
posits i'm limestone. AT the Hanoye
mine, which is another prehistOrl
working the ores have been great,
oxidized and secondarily enriched
The ores OF the district go to Silve
i City and To Arizona smelters 70
treatment. Branch lines of the San
IA Fe railway enter both this an
! the Santa Rita districts.
A small quantity of copper wa
produced in 1906 by the Magdalen
district In Socorro county, where tn
ores are associated with valuable de

COLLEGE TYPES.

There are types of character
among the students of any college of
considerable size which are possibly
more distinctive, more clearly differ
entiated, and certainly more inter-
esting and entertaining to study
than in any other walk of life. The
reason for this is probably due to the
fact that the students are not old
enough and have not seen enough of
the world and its business worries
to get into a rut, to become crystal
lized so to speak, and lose their own
individuality. However, this may be,
there is plenty of individuality in the
characters of college life that George
Ade presents in his delightfully."- witty
comedy, "The College Widow" Fl"
characters. the like of which every
student and alumnus will recognize
and rejoice to see portrayed in a
mimic world. This popular play will
be seen at the Elks' opera house
Monday night
Among the types which Mr.. Ade
has selected for exploitation in '"rhe
College widow are the following:
The athlete, whose fame has preced-
ed him. and whose acquaintance to
the college ranks as candidate for
say, football honors. is eagerly and
proudly welcomed. There is no such
hero-worship as that existing among
school boys and collegians, and this
is capitally examplified in the case
of Billy Bolton, the halfback of At
water College, where Mr.. AIDE has
laid his scene. The youth who has
| little to say, but who comes well to
the fore when called upon In an
emergency-such as "silent" Muir
ply. The country boy, uncouth. un-
gainly, shy, but who. under new in

mark each success.
Their weapons comprise a keen,
thin-bladed head-ax, a light wooden
shield, bound about with thongs
not unlike buckskin, and the long,
light blade-pointed hunting spear,
the most dangerous weapon of all in
their attacks. They throw 1t with
unerrng accuracy.
Every incurs1on against the enemy
is for but one purpose, to take heads.
They do not rob or burn or pillage.
They merely kill and take away the
head of every victim. They expect
this in return and ask no quarter.
Tribal tradition tells of many vic
tories against the Spaniards. of
whole companies of these invaders
beheaded, and of long savage orgies
in celebration. Every Bogobo nut
has its grewsome trophies of victory
polished skulls that hang about the
walls. No young Bogobo warrior
may marry until he has taken the
head of an enemy.
When one Of their number loses
his head he is buried with savage
pomp. The headless corpse is COW
cred i'm a sitting posture, and accord
ing to their belief the head will be
returned i'm the life to come.
The head hunters live upon tropi-
cal fruits. sweet potatoes and rice,
( which grow 'abundantly without
cultivation.

WILL FIGHT FIRE
MII,II SMITItI ENGIN IL

WITH SNIttlt tINtBIN rs
El Paso, Jan. 4.-By giving lit
tie training in the art of fire fight
ing to the men working under him
and preparing himself with the
necessary apparatus to convert a
switch engine into a fire engine,
Trainmaster Montague of the Mexi-
can Central I'm Juarez believes that
ne will have fire depar tmnnt that
will ne of great value in saving the
cJmpany's property i'i that city.
MIR. Montague says that all he
needs is a switch engine with , hoil-
ev treasure of 100 pounds and a
hose sufficiently long TO reach the
buildings from the gard tracks, then
when his men are properly trained,
he believes he can put out the
flames in short order.
a test of the trainmaster's idea
was made in Juarez yesterday after
noon and 1t was pronounced by all
present to be a success. The test
was made in the presence of rail-
road, customs and municipal Off
cials, who were all well pleased with
the manner in which the switch en-
gine threw the stream Of water.
MIR. Montague expects to equip
each of the company's yard engines
in Juarez with the necessary hose,
and train each switching crew in a
way that will place them in shape to
act promptly and Systematically in
case of a fire in any of the COM
panys buildings or any property
within a reasonable distance of the
yards.

SANTA FT ALONE

The El Paso & Southwestern. the

cific at least is concerned, this COM
mendable policy will not be altered
in the slightest in the coming year.
