Railroads Are After Ore.

Gold6eld, New, Sept. 2S.-The rail- way companies are after ore in earn est. The Tonopah X Goldfield is the only one of the three lines that is haul ing out ore in trainload lots. The Tidewater and the Clark roads appear to be out of business in this respect, but this is evidently due to the fact that smelters on those lines are not ready to handle the ore. From seven to ten carloads of ore day are being shipped at the present time over the Tonopah line, consigned to trust smell ters throughout the western country, but the greater portion is going to the Payton shelter in California. The shippers are compelled to stand high rate for extracting the values as there are no custom mills in the camp.
 The Tidewater is after ore also, and the old shelter at Needles is being renovated and rate on all kinds oi ore will prove attractive to the ship pers. The Las Vegas road will not stand idly by while the othertwo roads are getting the tonnage. The agents of the railways companies have been in the field for the last six months sig ing up the situation. Ore has to be >,ruied either from Goldfield or some other camps along the lines. The con- pletion of the Consolidated and the Florence mills will not relieve the sit uation, for the mining companies and lessees who have no mills to treat their ores will have to ship to outside points. The Consolidated and the Florence companies have ore enough in sight tc keep their plants busy, and there will be no call for the product of other mines.
 The three competing railroads will soon be ready to bid for low-grade ores at rate, it is claimed, that will be as good as can be secured out of the ore by mill extraction.

It is probable that dividends On Im- perial Copper Company stock will be resumed before the end of the current year. Last year in January and April two dividends of ? per cent each were paid and after the second dis bursement payments were suspended owing to the unfavorable copper condi- tions. In July the company showed net profits of 2O,0O0$ from production of between 60O,0O0 and 100000 pounds of col per. Under the terms of the mortgage covering an issue of bonds, the C, mpany cannot in a single year distribute to stockholders in the form of div idends more than per cent. Bond interest calls for l2O, ,000S per an- mum. The Imperial company has just commenced operations at its new 3LO ton concentrating mill. The concen- trator will eventually be enlarged to permit of the treatment of 1000 tons a day.-Copper Era.

The Many Misplaced Titles.

There ought to be law passed to protect men from being dubbed "Col- onel." It nauseates the public and puts the subject in the worst conceiv- able dilemma.
 If a poor devil makes sale, he is immediately mentioned as Colonel, '- gardless of hls Quaker leanings. Then poor newspaper man makes a ten cent hit and he is bawled out as Col onel. Now he is expected to rise to the occasion. He is supposed to swell out in 75$ tuxedo and an immaculate marble front, when all the clothes he has had in the last ten years never cost 75s He is supposed to sport around in a red automobile, when his income for ninety days would not buy a tin wagon. He is expected to ride in private car, when he has been in the habit of swinging the faithful pole pick on the tender for his passage. Of all the forms of solid tribulation to which poor newspaper man was ever subjected, it is to try to keep up with his reputation.
 The prefix "Hon." is just about as bad. If ever man swipes snipe in the somber shade of the capital at Pnenix, that omnipresent, evanescent, innocuous "Hon." is stuck up in front of his honest name and he is ruined The condition of his raiment demon strates that he has never come in con- tact with the fat dispensers who fill the lobby of the legislature. But he gets the reputation without the dough. than which no greater calamity may overtake the average mortal.
 Then there is the "Judge." If a fellow ever pleads his own case, or peeps into musty volume with two leather lids to it, he is "Judge." He is expected to wear gold-rimmed spec tacles when h9 cant afford green gog- gles. He must look wise, hold his breath, and then deliver five-cent opinion with fifty dollars worth of de- liberation. Bye and bye he may be- come "Jestice" of the Peace. Every case he can't reach at home, he sends to the poor old grand jury to be thrown out and the cost tapped out of the sweating taxpayer, until bye and bye the supervisors "cut him down" or the district court stands him up and shakes a few ill gotten shekels out of his pockets, and he goes back to solitaire and cob pipe, but they will continue to call him Judge, perpetual, heart touching reminder of his former great ness.
 Then, if fellow ever drenches a sick cayuse for the botts, he is "Doc- tor" If he can repeat the ten com mandments he is "Rev." If he can play the "Arkansaw Traveller" on a corn stalk fiddle he is "Professor.
 What a heavenly privilege to just be plain old Jim or Bill or Jack, as the case may be.-Tombstone Prospector.
