The latter is 1OC feet or more in width, and on the surface it shows ores that carry copper in paying quantities, some of them being rich. And there are several different varieties. Monday Mir. Conard came to Nogales with samples that are very attractive They came from the surface of the ledge, and there were included rich oxides, sulphides and carbonate' of copper, that would recommend any mine. When the tunnel now running cuts the great ledge at the depth named, it will oper doubtless an immense body of higi grade copper ores. Other worE beside the tunnel is being done, al going to prove great mine.

Reforming the Head Hunters.

A curious development is in steady
progress in the Solomon islands. the
group in the south Pacific which lies
to the west of New Guinea, whose I'eo-
pie have earned such unenviable no.
toriety as head hunters. The young
men Of the tribes in these fertile and
beautiful islands are abandoning the
historic pursuit which has made them
dreaded for centuries in the south seas
and are taking to the copra industry.
Copra, which is the dried interior OF
the cocoanut, is valued commercially
for the oil which can be pressed from
it, and some Of the young Solomon
islanders are accumulating consider
able wealth by extracting it, though

NEED FOR REGULATING
: VIvlSECTION OF ANIMALS.

Prohibition Not Advocated, Only Law
That Will Make Needless Crueltics
impossible.
The New York Society For the Pre-
vention of the Abuse Of Animal Exper'
imentation has authorized the follow
ing statement. The society does not
want to be confused with other organ
izations that advocate the'en pro-
hibition Of vivisection:
Reports lately appearing In the press
Of frightful cruelties incident to the
practice Of vivisection again show the
need for some such legislation as was
proposed in the Davis-Lee bill intro
duced at the last session Of the New
York legislature.
Aside from the opposition of some
members Of the medical fraternity,
there was strong public demand for
the enactment Of this measure after
1t became known that 1t in no way In
terfered with serious scientific research
or necessary and humanely conducted
experiments upon living animals.
In substance, the bill provided that
all experiments shall be under the au-
thority of a college, hospital or board
of health and that the places where
such experiments are conducted shall
be registered. 1t was also provided
that anaesthetics should be used in
all cases where the success OF expert
ments would not be interfered with
and that the animal must be Killed
after the experiment has been made
unless the usefulness Of the experiment
required that the animal be permitted
to live. Brief reports Of all vivisec-
tons were required to be made for q
permanent public record.
No reasonable objections can be
made to such a law. Under It the
medical profession would be as free
as it is now to carry on proper expert
ments. 1t would. however. tend to
put stop to useless and needlessly
cruel practices. The public has been
reused by such reports Of these prac-
tees as are made public, and there is
strong feeling that there are great

MUNICIPAL LIGHT FAILS.
Chicago Would Save 100000 Year by
PURCHASING Current.

Chicago, Nov. 10.--Chicago's munic-
ipally owned and operated electric
street lighting system is practically a
financial failure, according to report
made to Mayor Busse by Bion j. Arn-
old. city engineer, and Auditor Arthur
Young The report indicates that the
city would save from 100000 to $780,
600 a year by abandoning the manu-
current entirely from the sanitary dis
'trict or from private companies.
The mayor made the report public
yesterday and transmitted it last night
to the city council for such action as
the aldermen may deem necessary
The report shows that the taxpayers
have sunk $3,639,031 in the plant and
equipment, which now have a book
value of s2,603,144 or an actual value
of $2,353,S69. 1t cost the city last year
$S1.64 to maintain each of the 7,647
street lamps. At the same time the
city is renting 10000 more lights from
the Commonwealth Edison company at
SIS per lamp per year.
Under the present arrangement for
the supply of current from the drainage
canal, the city has been able to reduce
the cost to $6O.56, and if it shall be
possible to get all the current needed
from this source it will be possible to
reduce the cost to $42.17.
The city as a rule is able to get ma
terials for about what private con-
Germs pay, but 1t is asserted the ma
terials are wasted by incompetent and
unconscientious employees. Moreover,
the city appears to be unable to get
full days work out of its employees.
This deficiency of municipal admin
istration was admitted by Mayor Busse.
who was feeling pessimistic after per-
using the report.
"a city employee" he said,a seems
to think that he is required to do only
about one-fifth Of a days work. Go
out in the street any day and watch
the employees of an electric light and
power company putting up wires and
other equipment. Then go over to the
next street and watch the city electric
ians doing similar work. You will see
the difference in the amount Of work
the company is getting and the amount
the city is getting"

THE MOST NouRIsHING FOOD.

New Ways Of Making This Staple.

Dietists Say That II 10 currant Bread.
New Ways Of Making This Staple.
Some of the most distinguished diet
specialists in the world assert that cur
rant bread is the most nourishing
article of diet that can be as regularly
eaten as white bread. White bread
made with a liberal quantity of dried
currants is already very popular. Here
are two new recipes for making cur
rant bread with whole wheat -four
and with potatoes:
Scald do not boiD one and half
cups sweet milk and one cup water.
When tepid add one-half cake COM
pressed yeast after soaking ten min
utes in cool water, two tablespoonfuls
of sugar and teaspoonful of salt. Stir
in enough whole wheat -four to make a
stiff batter Allow to rise - three
hours is long enough If kept warm
overnight if cool. When light add one
egg, one tablespoonful Of melted but
ter, one cup Of cleaned and dried cur
rants. Beat well, then add whole
wheat -four to make soft dough.
Work well, mold into two loaves, place
in creased pans, brush over with
melted butter, let rise until light and
then bake in hot oven.
Boil one medium sized potato in a
quart of water until soft. Scald one
small cup of flour with the hot potato
water and add mashed potato beaten
thoroughly to prevent Jumps. When
cold add one cake compressed yeast
soaked in little cold water. Let
stand six hours to rise, then add one
pint warm water, one pound thorough
ly washed currants, one tablespoonful
of lard salt. two beaten eggs, one cup
brown sugar, cinnamon if desired and
-four to make stiff dough. Knead ten
minutes. put into covered pan in a
warm place to stand overnight. Bake
In the usual way.

Care Of 4 Broom.

There is great deal of difference in. the
quality of work broom will do and the
length of time it will wear. One that is
used every day should be washed once a
week. Prepare bucketfu1 of sud-, by
dissolving a tablespoonful of Gold Dust
washing powder in hot water and DIP the
broom up and down in it until the st-aws
look clean and new. Then rinse and
hang up to dry. If new broom is dipped
in hot suds before it is used, the st-aws
will be toughened and will not break so
easily. Do not set the broom down in a
corner after it is used, but have hook
n the handle and hang it up.
