Hundred Millions in Copper Profits.

The publicly owned copper mines of America have paid in dividends nearly half billion dollars, or to be exact, $4Sl, ,O6S, 1850. Of this amount Arizona has contributed approXi- mately ffty-three million dollars from the mines owned by the general pub lie. Besides, there is the Copper Queen, which has undoubtedly paid as much to its owners, possibly much more, than this amount. No state ments are eyer given out, but it is said that in 1906 the mine made nearly ten million dollars net, so ffty-three million dollars for the twenty-five years the Copper Queen has been working does not seem an unfair estimate. Besides there have been several other smaller mines that have made large sums of money for their owners which is not included in the above. So hundred million dollars in profits from Arizona copper mines is a conservative estimate. As a matter of fact it has been probably much more.-Exchange

Former Confederate Soldiers Organize.

By electing James P. Bates con- mander and J. H. Robertson adjutant, the ex-Confederate soldiers of the Salt River valley recently took the first step in the offices of J. L. Irwin toward the organization of camp in Phoenix. All the exConfederate soldiers in Arizona are requested to cooperate in the movement, the plan being to perfect one big organization for the territory in Phoenix, and later organize branches throughout the territory.
 James P. Bates, Heny c. Orme and J. A. Vincent were appointed a con- mittee on organization to report at the next meeting, which will be held in Irvin's office at 1:3O p. m., on Saturday, July 2S.
 At the meeting last week there was much enthusiasm over the organiza- tion of the ex-Confederate camp. The movement was started by Bates and Dr. O. L. Mahoney, meeting with immediate approval among the south ern soldiers in that section.

A New Railroad.

J. w. Began, at the head of an engineering force of the Arizona and Colorado Railroad company, has been in Gallup making arrangements pre- paratory to the beginning of a survey for a railroad to extend from the Colorado coal fields near Durango, Colo, to the Southern Pacific lines, in southern Arizona.
 Mir Began, who is high up in the service of the Southern Pacific, is opening offices in Gallup, N. NJ, Two carloads of mules have been shipped in, also wagons and all other force, which will begin work very shortly.
 A north and south road through that section has been needed for years; there is a heavy trade along the proposed route, constantly grow ing. Also, it is we'll known that there is no coal along the southern lines of the Southern Pacific, but that there is a great and growing demand for it in that section. A north and south line would bring coal into that coun- try at half the present cost, which would make certain the advance of the industries there anG of the coal trade here. This project bears the stamp of Southern Pacific"-the stamp of certainty.

Freight Rates to Globe May Soon be
 Lower.

At special meeting of the terri torial board of railway commissions CTS, held in Phoenix, steps were taken to secure reduction in rates on the Gila Valley line, which at the pres ent time are considered exhorbitant by the merchants of that city. The matter of rates on the Gila Valley line were taken up during the session.
 Local merchants claim that they are paying a higher rate for the hauling of freight over the local line than is charged anywhere else ir the country, under similar conditions. The matter of reduction in these rates has been under consideration for some time, but it was not until few days ago that a special meeting was called to take up the natter Belt.

Expert DepIOres Country Fire Record.

Death and destruction by fire in 1909 will eclipse all previous records with the exception of the years in which the Baltimore and San Fran cisco fires occurred, according to the statement of experts who are study ing building materials. This state ment is backed up by the records of fire losses which are carefully kept by these experts.
 One period to which they point is the sixteen days in April, when five big fires in different parts of the country resulted in the loss of S6,OOO,- 900, the death of twenty persons, the injury of a large number and the rendering homeless of 5000.
 "The people of the United States have not learned the reason of the Baltimore and San Francisco fres," says H. L. Richie, engineer in chief of the structural material labora- tories of the U. s. geological survey. "Fort Worth's recent experience, when more than 300 homes were de- stroyed by the flames, is but a repeti- tion of what has happened in the past and what will occur in the future until American municipalities wake to the situation and enact legislation which will absolutely prevent the further construction of buildings that are not fireproof.
 "In 1907 fires in the United States cost more than SI, ,25O,OOO for every day in the year, an annual tax of more than S5 for every person in the country. No other nation loses so much in fires, pays so much insurance or so much for fire departments as the United States.

Ed. Hall, of Mutt, Luna county, N. M., broke the worlds record for roping and tying steer at the Fourth of July celebration held at Nogales, Sonora. Hall roped and tied his steer in 21 seconds, lowering the worlds record 1-5 of a second. The record was formerly held by J. Ellison Carroll, whose record of 2l Is seconds was made in San Antonio, Texas.
 It is said that the Webster brothers, who have a mill at Thatcher, have procured a new machine for cleaning wheat that is a source of satisfaction to the farmers in the Gila valley. The new machine removes all of the wild oats and weeds from the grain and thus materially improves the flour made from the wheat. The wheat crop in the Gila valley is re- ported as being excellent.
 Some mathematician in Douglas has figured out that there are III, 640,- POO matches in the Copper Queen merchandise store in that city, and that to strike them all by lighting one a minute each eight-hour day throughout his life, he would have to attain the venerable age of 637 years before the supply would be exhausted. Just what all his minute calculation is due to would be hard to surmise, unless it is that the unspeakable heat has gone to some mans head.
 The boldest and most daring and sensational hold-up in the history of Arizona took place at Prescott re- gently when a lone robber entered the saloon of Chianteretti and Val drini, on North Cortez street in the heart of the business district of the city. Eighty-fve dollars, three watches, and one ring were secured. Three men were in the saloon at the time. One was knocked in the head when he refused to hold up his hands. Then the bartender was forced back against the wall and the cash register footed. The robber then backed out of a rear door and escaped. No clue was found to the robbers identity. Albert Haussner, the man knocked in the head, will recover.

Las Vegas Sees Future Wealth.

Coal fields of great extent and value, mining now working and pro ducing large quantities of bituminous coal, and an excellent line of railroad connecting these mines from other roads, form a most desirable combina- tiou which has come under the eye of at least three of the largest railroads of the country, one of which, it is stated, is investigating the property with a view to purchasing it.
 The railroad runs between Ute Park, Colfax county, and Des Moines, Union county, being about 105 miles long. The road controls over 800, ,000 acres of land which is underlaid with one of the best veins of steam and cooking coal in the country. The road connects at Vermejo, Colfax county, with the Dawson coal road, owned by the Rock Island, and at Raton with the Santa Fe, thus pre- senting a splendid outlet for its pro- ducts.
 It is reported that the Santa Fe now has a corps of engineers survey ing the fields, and that the Burling- ton and Rock Island roads are also testing the coal deposits and possible connections therewith. The Burling- ton is contiguous to the fields through the possession of the Colorado & Southern, a subsidiary line.

The tramway has been perfect in its de livery to the fifty-stamp mill and the grade of the ore has far exceeded the expectations of the stockholders. The tramway carries ore at a dis tance of four miles to the mill at a cost of less than ten cents per ton w. P. McComas, superintendent and general manager of the company, states that the mill has been running continuously since the third of the month upon ore, the value Of which has far exceeded the most sanguine expectations of all those interested.

Great Naval Pageant at POrtOIa Fete

Perhaps the greatest feature of the forthcoming Portola Festival from many points of view will be the great naval parade in which the warships of the nations will pass in review be- fore Gaspar de Portola, that famous Spanish Captain of Dragoons'who dis covered the great harbor of San Francisco that can accommodate the navies of the world.
 Already fifteen ships of war repre- senting five of the great powers have been assigned to the Festival. Great Britain has detailed three, France three, Holland one, and Japan one. The Federal Government will send seven vessels and there are other nations to hear from. There is a strong probability that Germany will detail two or more vessels from the China station, as Commissioner Chas. c. Moore has had semi-official assur- ance that the Kaiser wishes to par ticipate. The South American Re- publics are expected to be reple sented.
 Aside from the spectacular pha: e of this parade of warships with their barking cannon and flying of the na tional fags-those symbols pregnant with meaning and eloquent of romance there is the absorbing thought that these are the dogs of war who at the signal would fly at each others throats and that they are lying tc- gether in perfect amity tor the first time on the Pacific in the history of the world. Of the hundreds of thou sands of visitors from all parts of the world there will be very few, if any, who will ever again be privileged to witness such a spectacle.
 Perhaps equally sensational and ex- citing, if not quite as imposing, will be other features of the Portola Festival. Among these will be the international balloon races for which eight immense gas balloons have al ready been entered; aeroplane flie hts, championship heavyweight battles, Olympian games, a Marathon race and the great pageants representing the early scenes in the history of California, the opening one being the entrance of Gaspar de Portola and his Spanish Cavaliers into the city, where he will be joined by Queen of the Festival, the fairest daughter of California.
 President Taft has already mapped out his itinerary which will bring him to San Francisco to open the Festival. At that time he will stand and pro- pose the toast of his own composition which will be joined in by millions of people all over the world. It will propose the prosperity of San Francisco, the three-year-old city which has never been equalled in the history of the world.
 An edict will go forth from the Mayor of Greater New York request ing that every man, woman and child will stand on their feet at the moment of opening the Festival. The adults, five million of them, will pledge their goodwill in the toast of the Presi- dent, and the school children, three quarters of a million of them, will shout "HuIrah for San Francisco" Commissioner Robt. A. Roos who ar ranged this demonstration expects to secure similar one in other large cities.

Oil Burners for Smelling Furnaces.

c. F. Bache, who is a Boston man and who maintained an office in Tue son during 1907 and 1908, is in Denver Investigating the merits of the Colo rado Manufacturing company's oil burner for smelting plants. It is learned that MT. Bache has secured rights for Pima county, possibly other counties, for the introduction of the oil burner In Arizona. He expects to reach Tucson early in September, where he will demonstrate the good features of the oil burner.
 Itis said that this oil burner will prove itself an economical factor at smelting plants in comparison with coke, which costs laid down at Ari- zona camps from SII to SIS per ton, according to location; that the cost of operating the burner is less than half the price of coke. The burner is said to be adapted to 'smelters of 30- tons capacity and can be used in smelters of capacity exceeding 1900 tons. The automatic feature of the burner is applied with more satisfac- tory results and economy at plants exceeding 25O tons capacity daily.
 In 1907 MT. Bache endeayored to promote a custom shelter in the vicinity of Tucson and failing in this he took up the oil burning method which he regards, it is understood, as a more expeditions plan of promoting smelting on economical lines. The next move at the Helvetia Copper company's plant will be to introduce the oil burner. This is not absolutely certain, but President c. c. Prindle of that company has investigated the process iu connection with smelling ores in the company's camp, from which ores have been shipped to Globe for year Tucson Post.
