GROWING OF PEAS
 ON HANSEN RANCH
A Hundred Acres To Be Put In For Seed By Wisconsin Man.

Henry Gilman of Madison, Wis, ar rived here yesterday and will be in the valley several weeks. M. Gilman is the owner of the well known Hansen ranch at Kyrene and his business here on this trip is one of considerable i'm portance He has had a good deal to do with the development of his section and noted some time ago the great demand for pea seed in his locality While here once before he tried a lit tie experiment in growing peas and reached the conclusion that no better quality of seed can be grown any where than right here in AriZon. He accordingly is now preparing to put in a hundred acres to peas at the Han sen ranch and is now figuring with different parties to put in and take care of the crop. He proposes to let a few outsiders in on a good propOsi ton too. if they care to go to the trou- ble and will consider the matter with any one who cares to talk to him about it.
 He has on the road a car load of seed. Most of this he will need him self but what he has left over he will sell to outside parties at s4 per bushel To get the best results he plans to SOW about 3I2 bushels to the acre. The crop natures early anu in this section, he anticipates that it will be harvested and off the ground by April first. At home he says q good average yield is from twenty-five to thirty bushels per acre and even more. He sees no req xtrbs ba hara Ghnn11 ha as heavy or even better than that. He will make a contract with any one to supply him with seed at s4 per bushel and buy his crop. cleaned. at cents per pound. With a reasonably good crop a man can make money at this as the peas once planted require very little work until they are ready to har- vest

A WEALTH OF COAL
 IN SAN CARLOS DISTRICT
The Return of a Party Of Investigators
 From Near San Carlos.

Kimball Pomroy and V. E.. Allison Of this place, and J. B. Savage, J. F.. Whittle and James Gilbert of Phoenix have just returned from the district near San Carlos about eighteen miles from Winkleman where they have been Investigating coal lands. The gentle men brought in several samples of coal which is being mined there. It IS un- derstood that a Phoenix party got an option on some of the coal property.
 Mir Pomroy stated that coal crop pings were easily desernible on the sides of the canyon for quite dis tance. and there were many indications of large coal bodies outside of the fields that are now being worked Three large veings were traced which in places ran fourteen feet in width
 The party spent several days in the district and are satisfied that the coal beds are large in extent. There are many evidences of early workings, but these were abandoned it is supposed on account of the Indians. About 100 pounds of the coal was brought back and used here in cook stoves and Tn one of the blacksmith forges and in all instances was pronounced fine in quality.

 Mesa Opera House.

This function which will be held in the Mesa opera house on Friday night, December 11th, promises to be one Of the most attractive affairs held here for some time.

AVERAGE COST OF COPPER
People Claim That, TAX
ing the Country as a Whole, the
Cost Is Is Cents Per Pound.

There have been many statements
pro and con as to the average cost of
producing copper, says the Boston
News Bureau. OF course it will be i'm
mediately recognized that the cost must
be a fuctuated item, affected by the
rise and fall of wages and material to-
gether with the varying richness of the
underground deposits.
Statements have recently been made
by Amalgamated interests to the eff
feet that their estimate of the present
average cost of making copper in this
country including expenses of every ma
ture and with due regard for depreeia-
ton and replacement of worn out ma
ehinery, etc, is 10 cents per pound.
An Amalgamated interest says: cit
is folly to attempt to swallow many of
these predictions as to low copper costs.
When estimates as to future earnings
at various prices of copper are set forth,
it frequently happens that little OF no
account is taken of the very import
ant item of plant depreciation.
'There are those who make charges
for all construction work against so
called surplus earnings; others have a
convenient capital account handy; but
so far as the stakeholder himself is con
cerned, such charges properly belong
among the items making up the cost of
producing copper.
Machinery is constantly wearing
out or becoming ant;quated and must
be substituted by new and up-to-date
construction. When proper and reason
able consideration is given to the de-
probation account, together with the
increasing cost of making copper incl.
dent to deeper workings, higher labor
expenses and more expensive materials
and supplies, | believe it will be found
that Notwithstanding the low cost of
such mines as the Calumet & Hecla,
Copper Queen, Calumet 4 Arizona, Utah
Consolidated, ETC., the average for the
country over cannot conservatively be
placed at less than Is cents per pound. "

OUR TWO LIVES

T CAME upon a strange little old-fash-
L toned book the other morning in
which read the following sentence: "All
human beings in proportion to the in
tensity and breadth of their characters
lead two lives, parallel, intercommuni
eating, yet quite distinct; the one out
ward, mechanical, life full of routine,
the other inward, conscious, and per-
sonal." 1t is, indeed, one of the many
wonders of life how distinct and separ-
ate these two lives are. Each of us lives
in reality in this inner world of thought.
1t is a world unknown, as a rule, to even
our dearest and best, our real world
where our best aspirations come in pass
ing flashes to the surface, and where,
alas our dormant fears so often awaken
"a world where we dream and aspire
and hope, and create our future days OF
happiness or misery. And the being OF
that outward world-which is not our
real selves, for it alters with the people
with whom we come into contact. We
are often what they temporarily make us
by awakening fear, love, and tenderness,
or fear and repulsion, which, rising from
our inner SELF makes seeming outward
man or woman that is not really us at all.
How some people chill us by their own
icy manner, yet these very persons them
selves are really true and good and kind,
and their chilling manner is only the re-
suit of upbringing or surface shyness, or
sometimes nationality.-M. Il. p.

before attempting to put their mouths to
