Best Treatment for Colds.

"Most ordinary colds will yield to
the simplest treatment" says the Chi
cago Tribune, ''moderative laXatives,
hot baths, free perspiration and an
avoidance of exposure to cold and wet
after treatment" While this treat
ment is simple, it requires consider
able trouble, and the one adopting it
must remain in doors for day or two,
or a fresh cold is almost sure to be
contracted. and in many instances
pneumonia follows. Is it not better
to pin your faith to an old reliable
preparation like Chamberlain Cough
Remedy, that is famous for its cures
of colds and can always be depended
upon? For sale by H. H. Watkins.

G. K. Holmes, chief of the division
of foreign markets of the Department
of Agriculture, has found that the
automobile has replaced about 10000
horses in this country up to the pres
ent time, and farm horses have never
been in such great demand as at the
present moment. In fact, the demand
for horses for farm and other business
uses has become stronger and stronger
during the last two or three years.

airy l, 1908, numbering no less than

The Ray Consolidated Copper COM
pany is converting its narrow gauge
railroad, extending from the mill at
Kelvin to the mines at Ray into a
standard gauge road and is raising the
grade above the high water line of
Mineral creek. The present line is
subject TO washOuts every time Min
eral creek reaches flood tide and ore
shortage at the mill is the inevitable
result. General Manager Wiseman
has wisely decided to remedy this ex-
pensive annoyance and at the same
time increase the carrying capacity of
the road to sufficient extent to meet
the requirements OF all future in
creases in the capacity of the Kelvin
mill. The company contemplates an
increase in the capacity of the mill,
at an early date, to 1000 tons per mill
day of a hours and the new road is a
part OF this plan. y few years hence
the Ray Consolidated will be the
largest producer of copper in Arizona.
The company now has larger tonnage
of ore blocked out in its ore reserves
than has any other company in Ari-
zona. 1t has over thirty million tons
of pay ore in sight and is daily adding
thousands of tons to this stupendous
reserve. Within a few years from
this date the Eay-Kelvin and adjacent
districts will be acknowledged to be
the greatest mining field in the west.

seen, will be the means of saving the |
company thousands of dollars in trans
portation charges from the mine to
the ore bins at the mule tram below.
1t is understood that the operation of
the aerial tram creates a saving TO
the company of at least Is per ton and
the present management of the com
pany is to be congratulated upon hav-
ing made this valuable addition. 1t is
in perfect operation and is of sufficient
capacity to enable the company to
double its present output, which is %
tons daily.
The exact cost of the new tram has
not been stated, but it is safe to esti-
mate it at 25,0O0S, thus after 25,0O0
tons of ore have been handled over it,
it will have paid for itself. Had this
addition been made several years ago
when shipments were first commenced,
the company would he ahead many
thousands of dollars. Another valu-
able addition is the new air compressor
and air drills, which plant is in per-
feet operation.
A visit into the Copper King mine,
the shaft of which is down over 800
feet, revealed the fact that large
amount of copper ore is developed and
it is our opinion that the mine is look
ing better at the present than it has
for many years. The greatest obstacle
that the company has TO contend with
now is the low price of copper. Owing
to the fact that the ore runs high in
silica it is very desirable for the large
smelters. which is an advantage in ia
vor of the company. There is large
amount of milling ore in sight and if
the company bad a concentration, it
would be permitted to make a most
valuable showing. This mine is one
of the oldest in that district and it has
been under various managements.
There must be at least miles of tun-
mel. crosscut and shaft work.

The United States consumes 40 per
cent. of the worlds production of pig
tin. The domestic yield last year was
valued at only 32,OOOS, the product
coming from Alaskan mines. There is
a great deal of tin ore at the bottoms
of rivers and creeks that flow into tie
Arctic Ocean from Alaska. Large
sums of money have been expended
by dealers and consumers in pig tin,
in the efforts to find tin ore in paving
quantities in the United States, with
out much success. S.-Mining Age.

Within the next few months devel-
opment work on the copper mine of
the Saddle Mountain company in the
Christmas district will probably be
resumed, according to J. S. McIlwane,
electrical and mechanical engineer of
the company, who was in this city yes
terday. Work on the mines has been
suspended for the past two years. ow-
ing to the fact that it was not paying.
Quite little ore was being taken out
at the time of the shutdown, but il
could not be handled advantageOusly
and operations were suspended. A
final survey has been made on an eX-
tension of the Phenix & Eastern line,
which will open up the district, and
as this will facilitate the handling of
copper, prospects for reopening Il e
mine are brighter than they have been
for some time past. 1t is planned to
carry on development work for about
a year, before any steps are taken to-
ward erecting a new smelter.-Silver

AMBROSE Vidrine, white, resident
Of the western portion Of the town,
was arrested Saturday morning,
charged with selling liquor without q
license. He was also charged with
carrying concealed weopon. 10
the latter charge he entered a plea
Of guilty before the city court.
Policeman Plais Horn made the ar
rest on an affidavit sworn out by Mr..
Galloway, before the City Court.
There was trouble the night before,
between Galloway and Vidrine. Cal
laway, it is alleged, threatened TO re-
port Tidrine for keeping blind tiger.
Vidrine went out cunning for him,
and Galloway took refuge in the La
combe Hotel. 1t is said that Vidrine
visited the home of Galloway, looking
for him.
Vidrine IS emphatic in his declara-
ton that be did not violate the pro
hibition Law, and said that Galloway
was trying to wreak out q personal
grudge against him.
The District Attorney Saturday
fled two bills Of information against
Vidrine, charging him with selling
LIQUOR without license and carrying
concealed weapons. On the frst
charge his bond was fixed at $500,
and on the second at $3.50. The
District Attorney asked for q bench
warrant commanding the sherif TO
search the premises of Vidrine for
sUiritous liquor, and to hold same, il
found, for evidence. The sheriff made
the search, but found nothing incrim-
mating.
Court adjourned Saturday, without
d date. It will, however, meet on
January 18th, when 3 Jury, drawn
Thursday Of this week, will try such
civil cases az are triable BY jury.

volving the legality Of the Act Of the
Legislature calling for an election for
the division Of the parish Of St. Ian
dry and the creation out of its wes-
tern territory the parish of Evange-
line was submitted to the Supreme
Court last Monday, a decision is not
expected for least two weeks. and
perhaps it will go until January on
account of the holidays.
Three briefs were submitted on
each side, and it viii take the Judges
some time to 90 through them and
refer to the authorities cited. The
case is of such vast Importance that
the Supreme Court viii doubtless 20
at the matter with great care and
precision. In fact we are told that
during the argument Monday the
lawyers on both sides were piled with
questions BY the Judges.
The Attorney-General appeared in
the case in behalf of the defendants,
the divisionists. The Governor being
made the defendant in the sait, he
lthe Goyernorl called in the Attorney
General to represent him. The latter
fled plea of no cause Of action,
which would have the effect, if sus-
tanned, of throwing the suit out Of
court without a determination on its
merits. The ground he urges is that
the plaintiffs and appellants have not
shown real damage to their prop
erty interests of $4,000, which they
aver would be inflicted on them by the
division of the parish They can't
forsee any such damage, AYERS the
Attorney General that it is an inn
aginary damage and not an actual
one.
It is generally believed, however,
that the court will decide the suit on
it's merits, the plaintiffs having made
sufficient showing Of damages.
It is said that The Judges showed
a leaning TO the anti-diyisionists ia
their questions. The prevailing opin-
ion Of many Of the lawyers Of New
Orleans who we're present and heard

the Act will be declared nnconstitu-
tional but the lawyers representing

concerted, and expect q victory.
