THE EARLY STARTING UP
 OF HUMBOLDT SHELTER
THE CONFIRMATION OF ITS SALE
 ON DEC. 21.
The New Owner Has Abundant Money and a Million Dollar Ore Purchasing Fund.


Hon. Thomas G. Norris who was in
 the city yesterday, said that though
 there is a quietness in business about
 Prescott just now, people are getting ready for a period of activity which is
 sure to come soon after the holidays. They are getting ready for it conserva- lively but determinedly.
 There are several things contributing
 to the coming state of affairs, but chief among them is the certain re- sumption of work at the Humboldt shelter whose closing several months ago fell like a stroke of paralysis on many of the smaller mines within it's sphere of influence which embraces practically all of northern and central Arizona
 The receivers sale of the smelter property is to be confirmed by the fed eral court for New Jersey on December .21. and it is understood that the new owners have made all arrangements for the early opening of the smelter and for its improvement. They have an ore purchasing fund of $1.00O,OOO. That means a hum of industry about scores of mines whose products would not bear shipment to Fl PasO or to the Colorado smelters but which can be handled at the Humboldt smelter at great profit to the mine owners.
 Speaking of the United Verde of which not much has been heard lately, Mir. Norris said that it was just now turning out copper faster than at any previous period of it's history and he added that it will be a very short time before there will be greater activity throughout all of Yavapai county than had ever been known The Parker country, too he thinks will greatly add to the mining business of the north, for that, in the opinion of all who have visited it, is one of the richest mineral district in the west
 Speaking of great mines, MT. Norris said that the Tom Reed mine of Mo have county is one of the most phe- on record. It has a ten sta..p mill and so far only development work is being done, the sinking of shafts and drifting. Yet the output of the mine ranges from s12.OOO to $52.OOO a month without a stope in the property. The expense of producing these sums
Arizona republican., 1908-12-10

ranges from s6.OOO to 5000 a month. What will be accomplished when the real ore bodies are attacked is a sub -ject of fanciful conjecture.
 The history of the mine is as singu- lar as it's present performance. It is owned by several men, mostly residents of Pasadena who knew nothing about mines and undertook a plan of opera ton on the Tom Reed from which ex- perienced mining men might have shrunk and have thereby missed what is being uncovered.

Power From the Pits Mouth.

The power englner is trying to realize a new vision. For years he has been watching the long trains of coal cars which rattle over the coun- try, carrying the raw materials of power to a million distant fire boxes he has seen the great three horse coal wagons, which block the city streets and scatter powdered carbon over pedestrians; he has looked up to see a million chimneys, belching soot and smoke into the sky, pol luting the air men breathe, blacken- ing the grass and trees, doing dam age incalculable to. health and prop erty. half shutting out the sun. He has noticed the trail of ashes and cinders left by the creaking refuse carts on their way to the unsightly dumps.
 And he has dreamed of a future city, as active, as powerful as this first, but a city of clean and unob- structed streets. lapped in an ocean of fresh, pure air, where tall and flourishing trees rise in the stead of smoking stacks and where grass and flowers and little children may bloom in the clear colors which nature gives them.
 Out in Colorado, for the first time, he has made his dream come true. There, at the mouths of the coal mines owned by the Northern Colo radO Power Company of Lafayette. great power houses have been built and the coal. once loaded into cars by the miners shOvels in the lower levels of the pitS iS transformed without further handling. into cleo tric power. which supplies already a score of towns and cities. strung on a 150-mile loop of wire like jew els on a necklace-From Power from the Pits Mouth, December Technical World Magazine.

MUSICAL PREM|ERES
 IN CONCERT RECITAL
The Maude Powell Trio Entertainment at School of Music Friday Night.

If those who are interested in the fortunes of the Arizona School of Mu- sic. and the future of musical life in Phoenix desire a real musical treat. they will go to the school of music on Friday night and hear three pre- mieres of the musical world Each patron will consider himself fortunate in securing the privilege of going. no matter what the price of admission.
 To begin at the beginning, it must be understood that Maud Powell is ab- solutely the greatest woman violinist in the world; at least the ablest musi- cal critics in Europe and America ac- cord her first place This information is no information to music lovers. but 1t is worth bearing in mind by the rest of the public. nevertheless.
 Miss Powell has played in West minister Abbey and in all the famous theaters and opera houses of the world, and still she remembers most favorably her concerts in the Garrick and claims it is one of the few places in which she has performed where she felt that the full warmth of tone and greatest effects could be secured from her beloved instrument.
 Miss Powell is almost delightful. un- assuming little American woman. who has made two continents listen in pro- found admiration to her fiddIing. She is poet, as well, expressing her sentf- ments and her soul through the tone of her violin.
 It is a remarkable concert that the Maud Powell trio is offering to the public this year. They entranced the music lovers of Los Angeles and the playing of May Mukle, who is nearly as great an artist at the cello as Madame Powell is at the violin. is a. feature of the program. Her tone is mellow, pulsing, throbbing, and ever gives a message. It has a magnetic quality, and a finish of liquid beauty Much of the success of the trio work is due to the painstaking modest work of Anne Ford, the accOmpanist. No one in Phoenix should miss this splen- did recital Friday evening

Disinterested Service the Road to
 Success.

If l were to give advice to a young man starting out in life. I should say to him: If you aim for large, broad gauged success, do not begin your business career, whether you sell your labor or are an inde- pendent producer. with the idea of getting from the world by hook or crook all you can. In the choice of your profession or your business em- ployment let your first thought be: Where can I fit in so that l may be most effective in the work of the world? Where can I lend a. hand in a way most effectively to advance the general interests John D. Rock efeller in the Worlds Work for De- cember.

STATES RIGHTS

Some years ago Hon. Z. John
Ellis, OF Louisiana, In a splendid
and masterful Grafton here, predicted
and prophesied that the day would
come when the States OF the North
and West would plead for the re-
served rights OF the State, the South's
great and favorlte idol and idea OF
this government. Now we and the G.
o. p. divided In council and politi-
clans clashing with each Other on
that question. On one side is Roose-
Welt, Root and others; on the other
aide, Foraker and others. Thsgreat
and growing question is the effort to
centralise all power at Washington,
10 set aside in some way the consti-
tuition OF our fathers, Il possible.
Indeed a statesman, so called, has
declared that we have already out
grown that instrument; that the
time has about arrived to call a con-
vention Of the States and amend
what he calls that ancient instru-
ment- When that time does come,
the commencement OF the end OF this
Republic viii also have come. The
phenomenon and wonder OF the
world is this great government; its
rise 80 greatness and prosperity has
amazed mankind. History has no
parallel to 1t; 1t is now to be reckon
ed with by the great powers. All this
has been accomplished under this
constitution. 1t can not be made
better. The founders of this Repub-
lie gave us this chart and the Ship OF
State has sailed majestically and
safely under ii. Sometimes the wa
tiers have been dashed, and the storm
cloud lowered over it, but it has sue
cessfully weathered them all. Let
this constitution stand as it is writ
ten. Let the Federal government
go on In the sphere given it in that
instrument and preserve always and
under all circumstances the reserved
rights OF the States, and all viii be
well Otherwise no one knows, no
one can tell, where and when the end
VIII come. We are prosperous. pro-
gressive, happy people; the world
envies us. Stand by the constitution
OF our fathers. and this Republic will
&C on to fulnll its great destiny.

GETTYSRuRG.

A resolution il pending in the Leg
islature to appropriate $4,000 to
erect g monument at Gettysburg to
the daring, bravery and loyalty OF
the Virginia troops on that battle
field Gettysburg is said to be the
high tide point OF the war. The TO
suit OF that battle, 1t is declared,
was really the commencement OF the
end OF the war. Whether this be
true or not, Virginia should not be
tardy In expressing by her act q full
recognition and appreciation OF the
"deeds OF daring and the dying" OF
her sons on that field of Mars. IL
occurs to us that a correspondent is
right when he says that II an appro-
priation IL to be made, it should not
be tor one monument, but rather for
o number OF monument-markers,
showing the points where our boys
fought and fell. Virginia's soldiers
OF the Coniedsracy made a magnif-
cent and glorious record on that i'll
iated field and the world should
know where they fought. The line Of
attack by them should be marked by
these monuments. Other States,
North and South, have done this,
and our old Commonwealth should
do the same.
