I'm An interview last week James T.. Sulli-
van. president OF the Amateur Athletic
Union, told what he thought Of the condi-
ton OF in~terscholastic athletics in the
United States and suggested measures which
he considered necessary for the good Of
the schooIboy' athletes. The thing which
In Mr.. Shllivan's opinion is most needed
At present Is a national interscholastic
athletic a~sso citation. or rather an advisory
board to supervise scholastic athletics.
Every branch Of athletics is well organ
tied and we'll taken care of to-day, said
Mr.. Sullivan. except that of the school,
boys. fnterscholastic athletics is in a
prosperous condition and there is no reason
why 1t should not be organized. The
fntercolle giate Athletic Association is the
body to do this. 1t is well of financially
and could well afford to back such a scheme.
II 1t would appoint an advisory board Of
men well known in college athletics and
announce that this board was ready to take
charge OF schoolboy athletics the whole
thing could be put on its feet in a month.
If such men as Mr.. Kirby OF the I. A. 4.
A. A. and Alonzo Stage Of Chicago could be
induced to serve on this board the schools
all over the country would recognize ii
and be willing TO submit matters to it for
arbitration. BY this | don mean that there
would be any one set OF games which would
decide. for instance. the interscholastic
track championship Of the United States.
That would be impossible. What is needed
Ia q uniform set of laws to govern the school,
boys. Yale. Harvard. Cornell, Chicago
and many other colleges hold nterscholastic
meets every year. and records are made.
but who is there to pass on these records
and declare them Official? Yale may make
certain rules and co nditions for its meet
and Chicago in turn may have entirely
different requirements for its games. Under
these conditions there cannot properly he
any national intersoholastic records,
The advisory board which ! suggest
would sanction meets and draw up uniform
rules to govern them oil. II would dictate
under what conditions a record could be
made and decide on the endless questions
which now are unsettled. Also the board
in time could govern baseball. football
sad basketball.
'one OF the greatest questions relating
10 schoolboy athletics AT present Is the age
limit. II n one should ask what the age
limit is for a s~choolboy athlete who could
answer him? In New York II Is generally
agreed to be 20 years. Several years age
the question was asked In ~. Louis and
there it was decided TO be 20 years and :
+, months. Further West. however. on the
Coast the limit is q years. and it is true

River. What is now the Borough of
The Bronx was a generation ago a region
OF big estates. held many of them by fami-
lies OF Colonial Dutch or English origin.
The comparatively few among these
landed properties that have survived
down to tho present are rs a rule too
valuable to be used longer as country
seats. ven by people Of great wealth, and
are therefore being sold of for productive
Improvement.
The history of The Bronx as a part Of
tho greater city begins with 1874 when
that portion OF Westchester county
lying west Of the Fronx River and COM
prising the towns OF Morrisania, West
Farms and X ngsbridge- an area Of about
1880 acres. or nineteen and ono-half
square miles was annexed TO the former
city Of New York.
The area thus added to the city included
the Twenty third ward below iDth street
and the northerly part of the Twenty
fourth ward. IL extended to the Bronx
River on the east, to tho Hudson aud
Harlem rivers IN the west and to the
present city line at lonkers on the north.
II contained a population Of about So, coo
persons and included some fifty scattered
villages.
The first important auction sale of Bronx
acreage-that by which the Fox estata
was distributed was held in 1891. lip
to that time nearly one-half of the territory
that had been annexed in 1874 was cor
tanned in Lightweight holdings of ten
acres or more.
Among the most important Of these
were the Barrett estate of ITO acres, the
Casanova estate of 11S acres, the com
bhed Clafin-D Dunn holdings OF 1873 acres,
the Delafield property OF 200 acres. the
pickerson estate Of 1917 acres. the Faile

printer with patches on my
brooches than be a master of fin
ances, with all my thoughts on
riches. I'd rather eat my mod

ease, than sit down to royal
feast with a stomach ache like
John DIS. To romp and frolic
with my kids around my cheer
full hearth, with their mother for
the audience to help enjoy the
mirth is better than to move
about in high society where
dress and jewels make life a
mockery. It's true the printers
cash gets short and duns come
come in a hurry, but the happy
fellow does not fret, he lets the
dunner worry. He always has
a conscience clear a disposition
sunny; he knows that life always
has joys besides the chase for
money. For the moulder of
opinion is a happier man by far
than the man who owns a palace.
a yacht and a private car. And
when he'goes to his reward he
knows that all is well, while the

Ducks Destroy Potato Bugs.

Joseph Junette. who operates
a ranch near Alton. Ills, thinks
he will quit farming and educate
ducks to eat potato bugs. "A
dollar a day duck" will be his
motto. Just now Mr.. Tunette is
enjoying en- income of SIS day
from ducks which he has trained
to clear potato patches, of the
little spotted pests.
Junette tried them first on his
own potato patch. which com

through the patch like a neigh
borhood scandal. After this
Junette took care that his web
footed brigade did not acquire a
taste for other diet so that they
might continue to earn their
wages.
The ducks are in great demand
on the farms in Junette's neigh
borhood. Farmers are glad to
pay 81 30 an hour for the services
of the brigade. Junette has in
sight an income of 800 a week
from the fifteen ducks already
employed. New York Herald.

PROMISING PROSPECT
More Great Mines Being Developed in Cochise counN--Turquoise 0is-
 trict Has Big Ore Bodies.

There was deposited in the First National Bank of Tombstone on Sat- urday the sum of S27 900 to the credit ! of Vim Cowan and the Stevenson brothers. The money was placed to their account hy the Calumet and Arizona Mining company, and was for the purpose of making the second payment on the Germanis No. 1 and No. 2 mining claims in the Turquoise district, that are now being worked under bond bv the c < A company The claims in question were bonded by tbe c < A company in the month of April oi last year, the bond to run for 6 period of twelve mouths. At the time of the signing of the papers the company paid down ten per cent, and the balance of S3I 800 is to be paid on or before the 2i day of April, l9 g
 It is claimed that the Germsnia has proven one of the best mines ever dis covered in the history of Arizona. The shaft is now down little over three hundred feet, while drifts have been run on the other levels and near ly two hundred thousand tons of ore blocked out. The ore dump on the surface is nearly twice the size oi the waste dump, and when the fact Is taken into consideration that no ore was taken except what was absolutely necessary in the sinking of the shaft and in the running of the drifts and cross-cuts, it can easily be seen that the ore bodies in tine property must be extensive.
 The Germsnis property lies between .he Casey group and the Mary mine of the Great Western company, in both of which there have already been de- veloped large bodies of ore, especi lily co in the Mary mrne. A conservative estimate places the ore blocked out in that property at the present time at over two hundred thousand tons, val. ued at million dollars. There never has been in the history o! copper min ing in Cochise county such an amount of ore developed in 80 short a time a. has been uncovered in the Mary and its extent is still unknown as the ore bodies increase in size ss depth is at tained.
 These two properties promise to astonish the copper world in the amount of ore that they will be able to produce and will materially help Arizona to maintain its lead ss the largest copper producer of the United States.

So far the Turkey Track has been free from fever ticks, and it is thought that this range is not infected. In speaking about the fever situation Dr Rigdon stated that it is serious. and that the greater part of Sonors's cattle country is now in- fected, and tha: unless the Sonora government takes prompt action the entire state will be infected
 Arizona is free from the disease, but if 1t once got foothold here the whole territory would be qusrantined, and to prevent such disaster to the local cattle men it is necessary to be very strict in the inspection of sll cattle that from this time come out of the .ever.ridden state of Sonora,

TOMBSTONE WOMEN
Contented and Happy in Their De- mestic Life. Trey Do Not Care
 to Embark in Politics

Distinguished as Tombstone has ever bsen for solid and enduring poli- cies, the various Hitting reform waves which are sweeping over the country swish all about her without dis turbing the even tenor of her way in the least.
 The question as to whether Tomb. stone shall go dry or not. has as yet not been broached, The conclusion, to be derived from the fac. that there are few arrests from intemperance in Tom bstore, is that ,he eitua.ion needs no dcctoring at present.
 There are many strong arguments in favor of woman's suffrage, but the fact that the Tombstone maidens and mothers alike are supremely happy and contented as they are precludes t.'e slightest agitation in this direc. ton. Essentially modest, naturally retiring and gloriously domestic, the Tombstone woman, when approached on the sutject innJcently inquires, "Why, what is womsn's suffrage like?" and when it is explained to her re- plies, 70, thank you, l am happy in my home, l could be no happier in any other sphere. l do not care to mi1 out among the public, the thought is foreign and unnatural to me. kindly change the subject please"
