The community rose to the height of hospitality unselfsh and senti- ment sublime. The beauty and the chiv

The veterans who followed Lee, Jackson, Johnston, Gordon and others of the m- mortals, were here, and to these we ex- empliied the sublime sentiment of rev erence for heroism and devotion to duty. Everything and everybody worked to- gether in harmony. The weather was made to order. Everybody was orderly, and the entire population ceased work, dressed up, kept open house and enter tained our 6e0O0 visitors for three full days and nights During all that time there were less than two dozen arrests, and so far as I know there was not a l drunken person seen..

The people Of Arizona who know the Hon. T. H. Norris of Prescott will withhold any condemnation of that gentleman on account of the in dictment returned against him until all the facts have been made public. Mir. Norris has always had the repu- tation of an honest man and we do not believe he would be engaged in an affair such as is charged against him. The indictment grows out of political transaction which took place several years ago and this will cause the suspicion that the promi. nent attorney has been jobbed by his political enemies.

constructing concentrating mill at the mine and as soon as this mill is ready for operation a second furnace at Sasco will be provided. Good re- ports come from the Helyetia and those who are acquainted with the Twin Buttes property are confdsm of the success of that enterBrise. In this vicinity the c. and A. company Is continuing thefr development work but nothing has been recently given out as to what may be expected from that enterprise.
 In Pinal ceanty the most encourag- ing results are reported from several important development propositions. In the vicinity of Mammoth the Cal umet and Arizona company is said to have met with results in the develop ment of what is known as the Clark 
 property which point to an important producing company. During the past year Final county has attracted a great deal of attention because of the successful development of her miner al industry and that county promises to become an important producer. Early last year a number of proper ties were shipping ore to the Hum boldt smelter and no doubt would be continuing to do so now had not the smelter closed with the financial slump last fall.
 From northern Arizona come good reports from the mining industry. The United Verde has continued pro duction as usual and many of the small gold properties are actively at work and have been uninterrupted. And so it goes all over the terri. tory; from every section comes word that the mines are active. This ter.
 ritory is in a position to produce cheaper copper then any other west. ern state. We can remember when the copper mines of Arizona were producing steadily when copper was only worth nine cents and at that time-1s0273-the methods of treat
 ment were not so economical as now
 in any of the districts and some oi
 them were compelled to handle their
 supplies and output by wagon haul
 for long distances.

 to it's mineral industry for future in

For the past year Senator Bailey oi Texas has been on the gridiron oi public opinion, aud most determined effort was made to defeat him at the polls on Saturday last, but he won out by narrow margin. By his enc mics he was accused of everything but saying his prayers. and he prob ably escaped that only by an over sight in the rush of other charges. A majority of 10000 is not big thing to boast of in Texas. but it was sufn ciently numerous to send him to Den yer at the head of the Texas delega' ton to nominate Bryan for the presi dency.

 CONTINUING PRODUCTION.

 The mining industry in Arizona may be said to have stood the test Of the financial panic last fall and the consequent slumn in the price Lt cop per better than this same industry in any other state in the union
 All the old producing companies asSroday turning out copper almost to the normal amount of year ago. when the price of the red metal was twice what it is today. The Clifton Morenci district. where the Arizona Copper company and the Detroit Cop per company are the prominent com panies. the production is fully up t0 that of twelve months ago. ~
 In the Warren district the Copper Queen and the Gesdmet and Arizona are producLzs in the neighborhood of twelp million pounds of copper as fagainst a maximum product of thir- teen million pounds year ago. The latter company is running their smelteFat Douglas to the extreme limit of it's capacity and is pushing construction work on plans for dou- bling the smelling capacity. The Cop per Queen is holding four of it's ten furnaces idle at the present, but this condition is explained by the fact that there is now but little custom ore going to Douglas from the small camps in southern Arizona and north ern Sonora, whereas a year ago not less than thirty companies were send ing custom ore to the Queen in vary ing quantities. At that time the I'm perial company was shipping 150 tons daily to the Douglas smelter and the Shattuck company was sending from 300 to 4oe tons daily from Bisbee.
 Tn the Globe district the Old Do minion is not producing to the limit of it's smelting capacity. hut there the development work amounts to more than it did year ago. The Globe Consolidated is maintaining a large force and the results are said to be such as to leave no doubt that this property will soon become a produc CT. The Miami Copper company has recently commenced the development of a promising property on a large scale and altogether the Globe dis trict may be said to be in excellent ! condition. with the result that all bus mess there is stimulated and the pro gress of the city of Globe has not been materially checked by recent financial disturbances.
 Pima county may be said to be at | tracting more attention now thar ] ever before in a mining way. Some of the development propositions have discontinued work on account of in ability to secure necessary capital or i favorable terms, but the progress made in the Silver Bell camp is fas

Beyond Control.

The courtroom has its fun as well
as its tragedy. Sometimes the hui.
NOR is not as appreciable to the prin-
cipal actor as to an outsider, as in
the case cited by the Philadelphia
Public Ledger. The scene took place
In New Jersey court, where a case
OF slander was being tried.
The principal witness was an impet-
uous old German woman. She talked
so fast that the judge was unable to
follow her testimony, especially as it
was delivered in broken English. In
vain he attempted TO stop her.
Stop! stop" he cried rapping
sharply on his desk. But the torrent
OF words went on. "Old woman, hush
up" he shouted in evaporation. But
II was useless. At last he threw down
his pen exhausted, and cried out to
the lawyer
There, Mr.. Hunter You set her
going, now stop her."

roots must be kept moist by standing
them In a puddle" made OF earth
and water mixed to the consistency
of cream, or "heeled in" by nearly
burying them in fresh earth. In set
ing the trees il is important to place
them about three inches deeper than
they stood originally. and to spread
out the roots and pack the soil firmly
about them. Two inches of soil at
the top should be left very loose, TO
act as a mulch to retain the moisture.
Large trees are by no means al
ways the best to plant. Small seed
lings may be secured easily and
cheaply, and are much more likely
TO live. If these are set out in good
numbers after the pattern of COM
mercial plantation they will become
in due time true forest on small
scale.
The Olneyville times. (Olneyville [Providence, R.I.]) 1887-1917, 1908-04-24

If only few trees are planted, as
is usually the case, it is still possible
to make plain the true relation Of
such work TO forestry. No matter
how few the trees. they may be made
to illustrate planting for commercial
or protective use.
The scope of Arbor Day planting
may sometimes be broadened by Sc
curing permission from some public
spirited citizen or nearby farmer for
the children to plant small block of
trees on his land This could be
made a practical demonstration Of
how such work Is done on large
scale.
Outside the scope Of the actual
plantation, it is well to bear in mind
that ArbOr Day is not the only day
on which trees deserve the intelligent
thought of the children. They need
care throughout the season. Watch
ing the plantation thrive under right
treatment greatly adds TO the educa-
tional value Of the work, which other
wise leaves but a slight impression.
II is all important that the planta-
tion should become a model Of what
can be done along these lines. In
after years the children should be
able TO point with satisfaction 10 the
work of their school days

Little Tommy's Arbor-Day Speech.

- Miss Smith had invited all the"peo-
pie in the neighborhood TO attend the
Arbor-Day exercises. She had said
TO the children:
we will plant good trees, and If
we take good care Of them, we can
make this bare schoolyard so beauti-
ful that in four or five years IL will
seem like a different place. And Just
think how pleasant it will be for the
children who will go TO school here
ten years from now" she added, 'or
twenty years--or thirty"
with this idea I'm mind. the chill
drcn had worked with a Will. and
when Arbor Day came the holes were
all dug, and rich earth had been
filed in around the roots At go
each pupil was in his place, ready
with the song, or speech, or recita-
ton. which he was TO give before
planting his tree.
Miss Smith led the visitors from
place TO place, and everything went
ON just as had been arranged tin they
came to little Tommy West
When Miss Smith sav, his excited
face. and the trembling Of the hand
that held the pine tree, she was sure
that he had forgotten his verses, and
she was just about TO prompt him
