CARNEGIE AIDS
5000 STUDENTS

Three thousand regular students and
sixteen hundred summer school students
in the four universities of Scot land have
their tuition fees paid by Andrew Car
negie. He also contributes S2OOOOO to
smaller technical schools This money
is not paid out to all who ask: indeed
he will not offer any inducements for
a boy to enter college. but after he has
entered and proved his ability he may
get his tuition paid.
Nearly half the students of the Scotch
universities are on he beneficiary list
In 1907 there were :i.l62 ont of total
of 6,S63; and the amount spent was
cal .l0l. Most of those students are
Scots, and all are either Scots. or chill
dren or grandchildren of Scots.
This great philanthrophy was under
taken by Mr.. Carnegie in 1901. when he
placed $lO.OOO.O00 in United States
Steel Corporation five per cent bonds. in
the hands of a board of trustees. among
whom were. the Earl of Elgin. Lord
Kelvin. James Bryce and Lord Rose
berry.
Mr.. Carnegie does not consider his
gifts charity. and so has made provis-
ion that any student may pay the
money back to the board i'm after years
In this way the fund will not only be
kept up. but will grow.
The amount paid each is not large;
no matriculation or graduation fees, or
board bills are paid. nor is a student
allowed to continue in the benefit if he
does not come up to certain require
ments and to something for himself.

senate of the university has passed
sharp criticism upon them. One of the

These students come for the most part
from the families of limited means
which is source of great satisfaction
to Mr.. Carnegie. who wishes to give
encouragement to young men of the
class from which he himself sprung.
Too many dances at the University
of Kansas is the complaint of the
\ebraskan. There are to he five hops
in ten days in December. and it is not
likely that they will receive sufficient
patronage to make them pay. In some
cases there are two on the same night
The Nebraskan suggests that if the
student managers cannot re-arrange
these dances to avoid conflicts. the
faculty should do so.

SPIRIT OF THE NEWS

The death of General Hugh Cameron
brings to mind one of the most pa
thetic chapters in our national history.
1t will be remembered that one of the
last pilgrimages of the old Kansas her
NIT was his trip to New Mexico to
bear expressions of love and praise to
his old friend Ex-Governor Ross. that
great old hero of reconstruction
days. His death brings back the men,
ory of that mans brave life and great
sorrow. Perhaps. no man ever acted
more fearlessly in public office nor re-
ccived greater condemnation from
the party he served than CamerOn's
friend. He was Senator from Kansas
at the time of the Impeachment of
President Johnson. 1t was his republ
can vote that was counted on to give
the necessary majority for impcach-
mcnt and il was his republican vote
east in favor of the President and ac-
cor,ling to the dictates of his own con
science that saved Johnson. In the
light of subsequent history. his course
WAS the best that could have been fol
lowed. but at the time, he was reviled
aS Il traitor to his party, robbc6 of his
public position and driven from his
state
He wandered out into New Mexico.
where for number of Years he found
employment as Il printer. 1t was not
until Clevclands time that he was in
any way rewarded for his bravery in
public life President Cleveland made
him governor of New Mexico. which
office he occupied with the same daunt
less courage that he displayed as Sena
tor. But the cruelty Of the treatment
which he received for doing what he
thought was his duty and what his
tory has declared was his duty. could
not he amended Broken in mind and
spirit and feeling that the earthly re
wards for courageous public service are
Il year ago. 1t was Just before his
death that General Cameron made his

"The constitution, said Senator
Glenn, provides that every county
casting s5o votes shall be permitted
to representative in the legislature
and if that provision of the consti-
tuition is complied with, FIVE coun-
ties in the Southwest part of the
state will be given seperate represen-
tatlon whereas now they are attach
ed to the counties immediatly east.
The constitution also says there
shall be reappointment made every
FIVE years, and that should have been
done in the legislature of 1907, as
the last time was 1901.
The above article appeared in tie
Topeka Capital of November 18th,
and is of interest to Meade County
but We are of the opinion that the
gentleman will fail as other repre-
sentatives and senators have been
just as deligent to accomplish the
same ends and failed in the attempt.
But Glenn is a new man and thinks
right now that he can accomplish
more than he will after he has ser
we'd term in the senate. He will
find that every fellow there has ideas
and not very many are alike on all
propositions.
The gentleman quotes the con-
sutton about every county with $50
votes being entitled to representa-
tive. 1t also says there will not be
more than 125 in the state and if he
gets eastern Kansas to give up any
of their presentation he will ac-
complish more than able men have
been able to do in the past few
years.

lead fight in the legislature this
winter to secure full representation
in that body to these ten counties in
Southwestern Kansas: Grant, Stan
ton, Gray, Haskell, Meade, Seward,
Greely, Wichita, Morton and Stev-
ems This will necessitate a COM
plete reapportoniment of the state
for representative purposes as it will
be necessary to lop off five repre-
sentatives from counties in Eastern
counties in Kansas to give the South

ment of the mining industry, re- sulting from the improved trans portation facilities and ihe availa- hllity of this new smelter, pur- chased ore supplies will gradually V increase in volume. It may be that finally they will even exceed the receipts from the Company's mines, although in El Cobre mine alone sufficient ore is blocked out to feed the shelter for five years at it's present capacity.
 As yet hut the first unit of the plant has been built, of which the more important installations are as follows: Morrison suspension firebox boilers of 250 H. P. each, designed for work at 160 lbs. pres sure; tandem compound Bates blowing engines direct-connected to Roots highpressure blowers; Bates vertica cross compound en- gires dir, ct-connected to Western Electric Co.,. generators supplying current for driving all machinery and pumps. for which direct cur rent at 500 volts will be used, while lighting will be at no volts ; 44x160 inch Power < Mining Mchy. Go. furnace with 15 it. set tiers; lift. balloon shaped dust chamber connecting at one end by Gift. tlown-takes with furnaces and at the other end with self.sup- porting steel stack IF feet in diam eter at the base and eight feet at lop with a total height of TIT feet Jeffrey steel pan roller-bearing conveyors, two per furnace, which elevate the weighed charge to feed floor, discharging it into steel bin at each side of furnace, to he run thence directly in the furnace.
 A 36 inch gauge steam railway reaches all parts of the plant. The ore as received is unloaded directly from the railroad cars into the mar row gauge cars standing alongside, the sample going to the sampling mill while the balance Is hauled over an elevated track and dumped into bins. From these bins the ore is drawn off below into charge cars when wanted for smelling and dumped into the Jeffrey furnace conveyors mentioned above.
 Automatic Sampling and very large eIimination of hand labor throughout in the movement oI material, electric transmission oi power, and the employment of the latest improved designs every. where, all indicate the thoroghly y modern character of the plant.

ready been spent on the work, of which Santa Cruz county in gen. eral and the various mines and prospects of the Santa Ritas in particular, will reap the benefi: in years to come. Between thirty and forty men are employed on the road and several thousand dollars more will be spent by the company before the grading is completed. The road now in use between Pata- gonia and the camp is poorly graded and the work of hauling machinery and other freight over it would be difficult task. How ever, the grading of the new road will probably be completed in an- other month. The members of the Saleros Mines Company known here are Mr. c. H. Ferry, New York millionaire and Prof. w. P. Blake of Tucson. Mir. w. E. Bal com is superintendent.
 At the Gringo gold mine, five miles from Patagonia, where the management had planned to treat high grade ore in a ten stamp mill to earn money with which to put in fifty stamp mill for the treat ment of the larger body of low grade ore, there has been a decided change of plans. The mine will soon have thirty stamp mill in- stead of ten stamp mill. Last week several officers and stock holders of the company visited the mine and after viewing the work done and the ore in sight, decided to advance the money necessary for twenty more stamps for the mill and authorized the manage ment to order the machinery neces- sary for such plant. They also ordered the work shaft, which is now down 120 feet, sunk to a depth of five hundred feet. This will necessitate the installation of new plant of machinery all around and a Corliss engine and new hoist will be put in. The five stamps already ordered by the manage ment for the mill will soon arrive and will be put in at once and will be operated till the additional twenty stamps ordered by the directors arrive. The ore now being mined at the Gringo is from he sixty-fOot level and another level will be opened lower down, while the shaft is being sunk to the five hundred-foot level. With a thirty stamp mill with which to treat the higher grade ores of the mines, the Gringo should soon earn the money necessary to increase the mill to fifty or sixty stamp plant and work the mine to it's caDacity. The officers and stockholders of the company who visited he mine last week were: MT. and Mrs. Fred Eckart, Mir. and Mrs. R. Schiefer stein, Mrs. Schmidt and Frank Fake, Fort Wayne, Indiana; Mrs. Obar, Chicago; Mir. McPherson, Pasadena, California. Mir Fake is president, and Mir. Eckart is vice president and MT. McPherson is secretary. The work at the mine is in charge of Mir. Grant Lewis, d mine superintendent well known in Arizona and Nevada.

The blowing.in of the Douglas Copper Company's new smelter at Fundicion, Sonora, May 17, markt d an epoch in the development of the mining industry on the west coast of Mexico. Heretofore every pound of ore shipped from the Pacific slope had 10 bear the heavy ex- pense of transportation to distant markets-hrst by pack, or wagon train, from usually far inland points difficult of access, to the nearest deep wafer port or to the railway; thence long haul.
 If shipped from port, the ore either went around the peninsula of Lower California, and then north to San Francisco or Seattle; or it made the trip south around the Horn, and then to Europe or New York. If shipped by rail, the ore fared even worse; the railway freight and the customs house ex- penses, together with the inevita ble shrinkage in the ore from it's hard ride and transfers en route 10 inland smelters, made headache for the suffering miner. Small wonder if he resorted to drink.
 Now, however, the new smelter affords to an extensive territory a nearby market for the output of its mines. The plant is located on the main line of the Cananea, Rio Yaqui X Pacific railway, being built south by the Southern Pa Cifc, and is about midway between the Yaqui and Mayo rivers. This main line (together with the Sono- ra railway) runs through miner. al country from Nogales, at the in ternational boundary line, already well into Sinaloa, with Guadala- jsra as its ultimate terminal.
 Feeders greatly increase the trih' utary territory. At Torres. On the Sonora railway section, the branch line to Represo brings in the pro- ducts from La Colorado and Mi. mas Prietas, as we'll as from the re- zion eastward, even beyond the Yaqui river. Just north of Fund.-. clon the rich Yaqui mining coun' try is being penetrated hy a branch line of road running up the river Just south the Alamos branch opens up that we'll known section About 100 miles to the south the Orient railway is crossed by the main line, that road affording an outlet to the rich Fuerte mining country.
 Ore originating on the Gulf oI California or the mainland cons, further south finds a near pot al 0uaymas, on the Sonora railway or at Topolobampo, on the Orient railway, from either of which port. II can reach Fundicion by rail Ouaymas is much nearer the smeller, though, than is Topolo bampo.
 The plant was contemplated originally only for smelling tht ores from the Douglas Copper O0mp"ny's nearby mines, chief o which is El Cobre; and for tho present, doubtless the main supply VIII come from these company mlhes' with comparatively small pIoporllon coming from the out OlQe. But with the rapid develop
