with the immense trees, especially in
the upper groves.

the Grizzly Giant, the biggest and old
est tree in the world, and he was
snapped also in the stage as it passed
through the trunk of WaWona, one of
the largest forest monarchs.
The president was continually on foot
in the grove and stood for minutes at
a time in contemplation of the tiuted
columns.
The "old guard Of four trees in a
row, the faithful couple" and others
of the more noted trees were pointed
out.
The stage ride from Wawona to Gla-
cier carried the president to a maxi
mum elevation of 77Oo feet. Tonight,
guarded by cayalrymen, he is sleeping
at an elevation of 1000 feet, in a little
hotel here.
With the setting of the sun the
weather became cold, and a cheerful
fire was a most welcome greeting to
the presidential party.
President Taft reached here to spend
fhp niObf aft 6 o'clock He flOrOlI oh lV
enjoyed the long stage ride and reached
here in time to see the last glow of SUM-
set on the granite peaks of the eastern

All Pupils with Sanitary
Brushes

NEW BRUNSWICK, n. j., Oct. s.
DR.. E. Irving Crong, the medical in
spector, has asked the board of edu-
cation to provide every public school
pupil with tooth brush and the board
is inclined to consider the suggestion
favorably.
DR.. Cronk reports much of the Ill
health in children comes from unclean
teeth, and that it is impossible to in
duce the parents of all the children to
adopt the sanitary tooth brush, and
it is best for the public schools to make
clean teeth obligatory.

PUBLIC DOMAIN OF
STATE SAFEGUARDED
BALLlNGER WANTS LANDS
CULTIVATED
ExtoIs Homestead and Reclamation
Acts, and Says He Hopes Call
fornla Gets Square
Deal

SACRAMENTO, Oct. 8.-"The Sacra-
mento valley has most tremendous pos
sibilities of development. Irrigation
properly applied will add millions OF
dollars to your welth.
TT is my purpose and my desire,
in so far as the laws will permit, to
enforce and effect the saving and the
right use of the public domain"
| So spoke Secretary Of the Interior
| Ballinger at a banquet here last night
] following his visit to the Orland lrrl-
| cation project Wednesday.
II want to see California have a
square DEAL" said Mr.. Ballinger.
THE interior department has ques-
tions Of adjustment in all states, and
many Of them arise as a result of lax
ness of the administration. All Of these
I want to see adjusted fairly.
"a different sentiment exists now re-
garding the public domain than that
which was felt years ago. 1 can re-
member when 1t was considered the
best thing that could be done was TO
get rid Of public lands as fast as pos
sible.
"The homestead law is one of the
most beneficial statutes for the west OF
all the legislation that has ever been
enacted. 1t has done more to build up
THIS vast leIIllOIy lAdII dlly OlAlSl
statute.
Builds Up State
1.-THE reclamation act, in my judg-
ment, has done as much for this sec
ton as any other law. We have all
heard a good deal of talk about con-
servation of natural resources, but 1t
should be not only matter of talk, of
writing or discussion, but it should be
matter for practical and earnest con-
sideration to devise desirous and right
uses of public domain.
Absorbing certain lands and seques-
tering them-tying them up in a bag,
so to speak-does not accomplish the
most desirable results but when put
to practical use all the people will be
the real beneficiaries. The work should
go forward, and that is what the ad-
ministration will do to the best Of its
ability in following the policy of Mr..
Roosevelt in trying to do everything
possible to assist the western country.
LAS far as the administration of the
interior department is concerned, 1t is
my purpose and desire, so far as the
laws will permit, to enforce and effect
the saving and right use of the public
domain, in so far as restrictions by con-
gressional authority will permit it.
And where we find that our work is
obstructed by the laws we will ask
further authority and further assist
ance to continue"

rUMAROLE

On account of the inaoequate boil. CTS that have been in use in the plant at the Fumarole mine of the National Mining Exploration company, about twelve miles from Stafford, it has been considered best by the management to stop work there until new and larger boilers, resulting in a big saving of fuel, can be installed. The work of improving the plant will be taken up as soon as General Manager F. A. Woodward can get in communication with the other members of the coni- pany in the east, and at most, it should not take over two months to make all improvements necessary to again talk ing up the development of the mine, which from all indications, will prove to be rich one.

RAISE OF DIVIDEND CONSIDERED VERY
 IMPORTANT
NEW YORK CENTRAL STRONG ON RUMoR OF INVESTMENTS
 BY HARTMAN
VIOLENT RISE IN WHEAT PIT
ELEVATOR INTERESTS PURCHASE HEAvILY-COPPER STILL
 VERY WEAK

NEW YORK, July 2S.-The incidents of the days trading considered by spec ulators of utmost importance were the increase in dividend of the United States Steel corporation and the rise in Union Pacific. In the case of the dividend of United States Steel, the compromise rate of + of one per cent for the quarter was considered an adroit settlement of the perplexing problem as between the contention for resto- ration of the f per cent annual rate and the retention of the per cent rate.
 The rise in New York Central was oc- casioned by renewed rumors of liar riman investment in that stock. Anal gamated Copper suffered from the re newed fall of the price of copper.

GIBSON COPPER

Among the mines with which the growth of Globe and the development of Globe district as a great mining region have been closely identified is that of the Gibson Copper company. whose property is located about eigh- teen miles west of this city. This mine has been steady producer for long time past and is now shipping ten tons of high grade ore daily. This ore gives average returns of Is per cent copper. All the low grade ore which is taken out is thrown ou the dump. Average samples taken from one of the dumps containing about 75,000 tons run 2.4S per cent in copper. The ore in another dump, including about l50,00O tons will give average returns of per cent copper At present some forty men are employed at the Gibson mine.
 Most of the ore is being taken out iH development work on the fifth and has been put down for sixty-fve feet and is in shoot of 30 per cent ore five feet wide. A crosscut on the fifth level has been driven at a distance of 32j feet from the shaft and has cut ten feet of per cent ore. When this crosscut has been run loo feet further it will strike the ore shoot, which dips away from the shaft, and which was cut by it nearer the surface.
 On the sixth level a drift is now being driven toward this same large shoot of ore. This drift is already $50 feet long and considerable ore is found in the breast of it. With the contin- uance of development work, the quan titles of ore found are constantly grow ing larger and from all indications greater bodies of good commercial cop per ore are within easy reach.

SUGAR PLANTERS IN SEARCH IF CHEAP
 LABOR[RS
MANY NATIONALITIEs HAVE BEEN TRIED AND NONE HAVE
 PROVEN SATISFACTORY

HONOLULU, July 2S.-The Hawaii sugar planters are contemplating the importing of Russian immigrants to solve the labor problem in the islands.
 A Russian capitalist now visiting here has offered to the planters his as sistance to bring some of his coun- trymen to the islands, many of whom, he stated, would like to come as plan tation laborers.
 At least one plantation has decided to make the experiment and appliea- ton has already been made to the ter ritorial board of immigration for the importation of forty Russian families. If these are found to be desirable i'm migrants and satisfactory as planta- tion laborers, it is understood many more will be sent for.
 The Hawaiian planters have exper mented with Japanese, Spanish, Portu guese and Porto Rican laborers, all ut whom proved unsatisfactory. The Jap anese are on strike for higher wages and many Spaniards, Portuguese and Porto Ricans have become discontent ed and left the islands.

MINING AT CACTUS SHOWING WE'LL UNDER MANAGEMENT
 OF w. T. HAMILTON

While the mines of Globe district, like those elsewhere, suffer in a meas ure from midsummer doldrums, like all other branches of business, yet there is no marked cessation of activity in the development of the different properties. Strong forces of men are at work at practically all the local holdings where any pretense of earnest mining opera tions is made, and some of the com Panies have recently increased their forces. This certainly is the best pos. sible indication of strong and solid business conditions in Globe and vicin- ity, and with the coming of fall, the local mining properties will share in the great impetus given to all eommer- cial interests by the ending of the va cation season.
 During the summer many of the min ing companies are enlarging their plants and installing better equipment preparatory to rushing development or production work in month or two when general business conditions all over the country begin 10 pick up. In the preparations thus being made, a sure promise of an era of even greater local prosperity can be read.

A large fault cuts the Hamilton shaft at the third level and the rock here IS heavily mneralized. The Hamilton shaft is full two-eompartment shaft. Sinking has been stopped for the pres ent while the extensive development work by drifts and crosseuts is being done.
 The singledrum hoist, which was formerly in use at the Hamilton shaft, has just been moved to the Pinto shaft where sinking, which has already been done to depth of fifty feet with q windlass, will be continued, beginning August TO- The new doubledrum hoist which was purchased some time ago by the Cactus Development company, has now been set up and IS in use at the Hamilton shaft.
